Gu Chen would rather suffer an endless pursuit than compromise with the Lord of Penglai Island.

His temperament was like this, indomitable, and the owner of Penglai Island used various general trends to pressure him, trying to force him to comply, but it backfired.

"Stubborn, it seems that you haven't suffered enough. ”

Seeing Gu Chen's tone categorically, the Penglai Island Lord's eyes showed a look of disappointment.

"In that case, you can continue to suffer, and the old man will wait patiently for you to change your mind. ”

He turned and walked out into the ocean, his voice echoing across the island.

"You will eventually understand that if you don't obey the old man, you won't even have a chance to set foot on the Fairy Spirit Continent again. ”

As soon as the words fell, he had already disappeared on the sea level, and in the distance, countless Changhong winds were speeding towards him, and it seemed that a new enemy had discovered his traces.

Gu Chen's face sank like water, gritted his teeth, and took the white ape into the air in another direction, and started fleeing again!

In the next few days, Gu Chen hid in the vast sea, and the major sects of Penglai Immortal Island organized a huge search network to comprehensively search his whereabouts.

"Catch the impostor!"

"Catch the thief!"

"Hold on to this ungrateful, unscrupulous thing!"

They pursued Gu Chen relentlessly, and the pursuit of him seemed to have become a carnival, and their enthusiasm never retreated.

They had never understood Gu Chen, and they didn't care what the truth of the matter was, so they wanted to kill him.

Under such circumstances, Gu Chen didn't even have time to rest, and fought and fled for days.

Five days later, exhausted, he fled to a remote island, where he collapsed on the beach from exhaustion.

"Kid, are you alright?"

When he regained consciousness slightly, he heard an old voice.

With a highly tense expression, he almost thought that another enemy had come to the door, and he was about to make a move, but he saw a pair of old hands handing him a bowl of hot porridge.

The murderous aura on his body suddenly subsided completely, only to realize that what he was in front of him was just an ordinary old fisherman.

The old fisherman seems to have dark skin because of the daily exposure to the wind and sun, and when he laughs, he shows a mouthful of smoky black teeth.

He didn't have any cultivation, he was just a pure mortal, which was rare in the Immortal Spirit Continent.

Everyone here cultivates, and the chances of seeing mortals are much more difficult than meeting monks.

Gu Chen's defensive heart weakened for a while, and the old man who was not aggressive could not pose a threat to him.

"Have a drink, kid, you seem tired. The old fisherman said to Gu Chen kindly.

"Squeak!"

The white ape shouted beside him, also with a worried face.

Gu Chen suddenly fell on the beach like that, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he called it, until the old fisherman who lived on the beach found him and brought hot porridge to the two of them.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Gu Chen hadn't eaten mortal food for a long time, and now maybe it was because he was too tired, and he had a great appetite when he smelled the porridge.

He took the porridge and drank it in a few sips, the soup entered his stomach, and he felt that his body had regained a little strength.

"Don't worry, there's more. ”

The old fisherman smiled, and he led Gu Chen and the white ape into the small seaside courtyard where he lived.

There is indeed a big pot in this courtyard, and the porridge is full of fragrant porridge, and there are shrimp and other things floating on the porridge.

He filled the two of them with a few more bowls of porridge, and they ate them all.

After his strength had recovered a bit, Gu Chen had time to look at the island.

"Uncle, do you live alone on this island?"

He asked with a little surprise, the old fisherman was already very old, and Gu Chen felt that there was a dead aura in his body, and it was clear that his life was approaching.

It is really dangerous for such a centenarian to live on this deserted island without support.

"It turns out that there is still an old son, but he has been at sea for a long time. ”

The old man replied with a smile.

"How long has he been gone?"

Gu Chen glanced at the layout of the courtyard, and the old man had clearly lived alone for a long time.

"It's been fifty years, and he left about your age. ”

The old man looked at Gu Chen with a very kind look in his eyes, as if he missed his son more and more because time was running out.

"He hasn't been back for so long, where has he gone?"

Gu Chen was surprised when he heard this, this son was really unfilial, and he actually let his old father live alone on this desert island.

"I went to the mainland, saying that I wanted to learn the method of cultivating immortals, but I don't know what the situation is now. ”

When the old fisherman mentioned his son, he was very worried.

Gu Chen was silent for a while, the old man looked lonely and lonely, and he didn't have a few days to live, which was really sympathetic.

"Child, why do you look so tired, but you are in trouble?"

The old fisherman asked a few words of concern.

Gu Chen didn't answer directly, this was just a mortal old man, telling him what happened to him only added to the old man's troubles.

Gu Chen chatted casually with the old man, and the old man was very nagging and seemed very happy.

He had lived alone on this desert island for too long, and it was rare to have someone to talk to.

Gu Chen was worried that the enemy would come to the door again soon, and wanted to leave quickly, so as not to drag the old fisherman down, but looking at him and looking at him, he couldn't bear it.

The old man looked at him as if he was looking at his own son, clearly missing and worrying excessively.

Gu Chen could only accompany the old man to talk more, and at the same time seize the time to rest.

This time he was lucky, and stayed at the old man's house all night without any enemy coming to his door.

The old man's life is very simple, and the content of the conversation is nothing more than the story of his fishing when he was young, and how smart his son was since he was a child.

Through the old man's description, Gu Chen knew that his name was Ling Ping, and his son was called Ling Fuan.

The old man had the most simple wishes for his son, but it was a pity that his son had great ambitions.

When Ling Fu'an was eighteen years old, one year younger than the current Gu Chen, he resolutely went to sea alone, going to the mainland to find the method of cultivating immortals.

It's been 50 years, and I haven't come back.

Gu Chen listened to what the old man said, and knew in his heart that Ling Fu'an was already dead.

The world of monks is extremely cruel, and it is not easy for mortals to climb up.

He didn't tell the old man this, just listened silently to his nagging, occasionally picking up a few words.

After spending more than a day on the old man's island, at noon the next day, a monk finally came to the door.

"I'm a Jinguang Cave monk, one of the seventy-two caves under Penglai Immortal Island, a shameless thief, and I won't be caught yet?"

A group of monks, a total of dozens of people, surrounded the island.

Seeing this, the old fisherman immediately looked at Gu Chen with a worried face, "Child, is the enemy coming to the door, you run!"

The old man was used to seeing strong winds and waves all his life, and he was not afraid of the appearance of the monk, but he was worried about Gu Chen.
