"I'm not Gu Yi!"

Wang Yang was initially surprised by the older man's words, but then he awkwardly responded.

"Not Gu Yi?"

The older man finally realized his mistake. "I'm sorry; I didn't expect to mistake you for someone else. Is Gu Yi here?"

"Yes, she is!"

Wang Yang stepped aside to let the older man in.

"It's Qiao Yunshan, the old geezer! You're still alive!"

As the older man entered, Gu Yi's voice rang out.

"Our lifespans have greatly increased, so we won't die easily. Besides, I seem to be older than you, Gu Yi!"

Qiao Yunshan recalled something and teased.

Gu Yi didn't respond to Qiao Yunshan's comment.

No woman likes to talk about her age, not even Gu Yi.

Listening to their conversation, Wang Yang felt nostalgic. He had just arrived in this place and had already met many interesting people. He expected to meet even more in the future.

"Sit down, Qiao Yunshan. Speak less, no one will mistake you for a mute!"

Gu Yi irritably poured a cup of tea for Qiao Yunshan and theke.

In this place, Gu Yi seemed more talkative than in Kamar-Taj.

"Will there be any newcomers this time?"

Gu Yi asked with some curiosity.

"Probably not. Reaching our level isn't easy. It will likely still be us old geezers!"

"I met Saixike recently!"

Qiao Yunshan suddenly recalled with a strange expression.

"He's here too?"

Gu Yi's voice rose, showing an unusual emotional reaction for someone typically calm and collected.

"What's the matter, Supreme Sorcerer? Is he an old acquaintance of yours?"

Wang Yang, hearing the strange tone, became curious.

"They are old rivals!"

Qiao Yunshan laughed.

"Rivals? Enemies?"

Wang Yang's curiosity grew.

"Young man, rivals are not enemies; they are entangled!"

Qiao Yunshan, showing no respect for his elder status, explained with a playful demeanor.

Understanding Qiao Yunshan's words, Wang Yang looked at Gu Yi with a peculiar expression.

Isn't such entanglement typical between couples? When did Gu Yi have such troubles?

But then, everyone was young once.

"Qiao Yunshan, you better shut your mouth!"

Gu Yi coldly snorted, displeased with her past being revealed.

In Kamar-Taj, Gu Yi was seen as wise and a strong leader. Now, she appeared human, with a past full of drama.

"To be accurate, I ignored him, and he ended up hating me!"

Gu Yi slowly explained. "He then turned his love into hatred and became my enemy!"

"I understand, I understand!"

Wang Yang nodded, recalling countless similar dramas from his previous life. Men throw acid because they can't get the woman, and women cause a scene at a man's workplace out of spite.

Seeing Wang Yang's reaction, Gu Yi sighed. Wang Yang didn't say much, but his understanding was clear.

Qiao Yunshan gave a knowing look.

"Exactly as you guessed!"

Qiao Yunshan laughed.

Instantly, a powerful magic aura gathered around Gu Yi.

Qiao Yunshan quickly shut his mouth. Teasing was fun, but fighting Gu Yi wasn't.

"Don't let him know I'm here, or else!"

Gu Yi glared at Qiao Yunshan.

Qiao Yunshan, known for his mischievous nature, naturally spread rumors.

Seeing Gu Yi's wariness, Wang Yang became curious about Saixike, someone capable of eliciting such a response from Gu Yi.

"Too late, I heard Saixike already knows you're here and is coming to see you!"

Qiao Yunshan said with a mischievous smile.

Both Qiao Yunshan and Wang Yang had strange expressions.

"Oh, is the door open to welcome me, Gu Yi?"

As Gu Yi was about to speak, a voice interrupted. A person entered the room.

Wang Yang saw a middle-aged man, clearly Saixike, with a young person following him. Both had some scales, indicating they weren't human. However, the scales added to their charm, making them appear more handsome.

Using human standards, both were indeed very handsome.

Wang Yang curiously observed Saixike.

"I don't recall inviting you in!"

Gu Yi said calmly upon seeing the uninvited Saixike.

Saixike ignored her, casually entering with the young man.

"Gu Yi, after all these years, you're still the same!"

"Reminds me of the old days!"

Seeing Saixike's casual demeanor, Qiao Yunshan and Wang Yang watched the scene unfold.

"My behavior has nothing to do with you!"

Gu Yi replied indifferently. Mentioning Saixike initially evoked emotions, but seeing him now, she was calm, speaking as if to an old friend.

Wang Yang observed, finding it hard to believe these two had any significant entanglement.

Saixike continued, "With your current strength, defeating you wouldn't bring me any satisfaction!"

Gu Yi's expression darkened as she assessed Saixike's increased strength.

"You are no longer my match!"

"What kind of good sorcerers can you teach? I hear you have a place called Kamar-Taj. Why not let me train your disciples? They'll be stronger than yours!"

Saixike laughed.

Gu Yi frowned, showing displeasure.

Wang Yang was still unclear about their situation.

Qiao Yunshan's voice came through.

"Don't be surprised. These two had a big fight long ago. Gu Yi defeated Saixike, who then never returned. Gu Yi nearly forgot him, but now Saixike is back to prove himself."

"He wants to show that his disciples are stronger than Gu Yi's!"

Wang Yang glanced at Qiao Yunshan, who was standing some distance away, yet his voice was unmistakable.

"This is my newly developed sound transmission magic. It requires fine control over magical power!"

Qiao Yunshan explained with a smile.

As Qiao Yunshan spoke, a system prompt sounded.

"Ding, sound transmission magic detected. Integrate?"

"Integrate!"

With integration, Wang Yang understood the magic. As Qiao Yunshan described, it required delicate control, infusing magic into spoken words to project them into someone's ear.

"Understood!"

Wang Yang replied using sound transmission magic.

"What? You know this magic too? Impossible! I just created it recently!"

Qiao Yunshan was surprised.

"Just fine control over magic. Not difficult for me!"

Wang Yang's words left Qiao Yunshan speechless.

Fine control was easier said than done. Specific methods were usually required, but it was impressive to achieve it through mere control.

Even Qiao Yunshan used various methods to succeed. Wang Yang grasped it immediately, showcasing extraordinary talent.

Qiao Yunshan was momentarily distracted, wondering about Wang Yang's true abilities.

Gu Yi, unaware of their silent exchange, glanced at Wang Yang after hearing Saixike.

"If you claim your disciples are stronger, let's have my disciple and yours duel!"

Gu Yi said calmly.

"Are you serious?"

Saixike was initially stunned, then excited.

Despite his increased strength, defeating Gu Yi wasn't sure. Losing again would hurt his pride. But a duel between disciples was different.

His personally trained disciple had reached one-tenth of his strength, qualifying to enter this place. Gu Yi's disciple, being new here, must have recently reached this level.

He had intended to propose a duel. Gu Yi suggesting it herself was unexpected.
