Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the leaf, but when his fingertips were about to touch it, the leaf melted like snowflakes, and wisps of golden light fell into his body.

Gu Yuan widened his eyes, his face full of incredibleness. When he went to see the old lady again, the other person's face looked like "It turns out to be so".

Just when he wanted to ask, the old lady spoke first.

"It's not that the people of the Li family choose the sacred tree, but the people of the Li family choose the sacred tree. Li Siming is the guardian of this sacred tree. Therefore, the sacred tree will give him guidance and let him choose the next sacred tree's guardian.

"

When Gu Yuan heard this, he seemed to understand something.

But he was not in a hurry to speak, but waited for the old lady to continue talking.

"Over the years, the sacred tree has not given Li Siming any guidance. It seems that He has no idea that these people in the Li family are now. But not long ago, Li Siming wrote a letter to his family, saying that he has found the next one to protect him.

The man of the sacred tree.”

Gu Yuan asked tentatively: "Is the person you are talking about?"

"Yes, to be precise, it was not Li Siming who chose you, but the sacred tree who chose you." The old lady continued.

This is actually the first time this happened.

Over the years, the Li family has been guarding the bronze sacred tree, and this has become the meaning and mission of their Li family's existence.

And every guardian of the bronze sacred tree is also from the Li family's bloodline, but now, the sacred tree has chosen an outsider.

Old Mrs. Li was also incredible about this.

She took two steps towards the sacred tree and continued, "When I saw you before, I felt incredible, and I thought it was Li Siming who made something wrong. Until you were able to kill Ling Feng, it shows that I did have me on you.

There are traits that have not been discovered yet."

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly: "Then you must tell me when you find out, I don't know what characteristics I have."

As an awakened priest, Gu Yuan knew that he was indeed different from many people, but he did not think that the difference in him could have a great impact on the world. It was nothing more than improving his strength faster, and by the way.

It can also solve those demon domains without any harm.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan widened his eyes and said, "Old lady, is it possible that our family lineage was once a member of the Li family? But later... One of my wives and grandfathers married into the Gu family and became the Gu family.

My son-in-law, my surname was Gu later?"

The old lady glanced at him, her mouth twitching slightly.

“It’s impossible.”

Gu Yuan: "..."

Is it necessary to be so decisive?

Why is the old man not kind at all?

"Since that's the case, I really don't understand. I'm not from the Li family. Why did the bronze sacred tree choose me?" Gu Yuan scratched his head and said.

The old lady shook her head.

"I'll know one day when you know, remember to tell me." she said.

When Gu Yuan heard this, he suddenly felt familiar, as if he had said it just now?

"However, you have now been recognized by the sacred tree. It seems that Li Siming has not made any mistakes." The old lady continued.

Gu Yuan was shocked.

He widened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Agree? When did I get it?"

The old lady looked at Gu Yuan's shoulders and smiled without saying a word.

Gu Yuan was shocked: "That leaf just now?"

The old lady nodded.

It seems that this kid is not too stupid.

Gu Yuan still felt a little incredible.

This sounds really unreasonable.

It has been a task for the Li family to protect this bronze sacred tree, so why did it suddenly fall on me?

He was also guessing.

Is the reason why Li Siming pays attention to him so much is because when he sees him, the bronze sacred tree gave him guidance?

However, this possibility should be unlikely.

After all, when they first met, Li Siming did not show any complicated emotions.

Gu Yuan looked at the bronze sacred tree in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"Have you ever wondered why Li Siming suddenly asked you to come to the capital and sign a contract with the bronze sacred tree?" the old lady asked suddenly.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head.

But he suddenly thought of what the old lady said before, and his heart skipped a beat and a chill arose.

The old lady said before that as long as you sign a contract with the bronze sacred tree and become the guardian, the person dies, the tree dies, and the person lives, the tree dies.

That is to say.

The reason why Li Siming made such an arrangement was because when he went to northern Xinjiang, he was ready to die there.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's face turned pale.

"Don't be so nervous. He didn't encounter any danger. It's just that fighting against the demon clan in the northern border can happen any situation." Old Lady Li seemed to see through Gu Yuan's thoughts at a glance and said.

Gu Yuan's mood also became complicated.

Although Li Siming went to the northern border, everyone knew that the place was very dangerous, and Li Siming, who was appointed as the commander of the Demon-Slaying Army, naturally faced a life-and-death crisis at all times.

But in Gu Yuan's opinion, perhaps out of trust in Li Siming, he always felt that the troubles in northern Xinjiang were nothing to Li Siming.

Only at this time did he realize that even Li Siming himself had no idea.

When he truly realized this problem, Gu Yuan's mood immediately became heavier.

He looked at the old lady of the Li family in front of him and said with a wry smile: "Old lady, this responsibility is really too great. In fact, I am very weak, maybe I will be overwhelmed one day."

Old Lady Li took a deep breath and said unhappy: "Young people nowadays are really inappropriate. They keep these unlucky words on their lips every day."

Gu Yuan smiled and disagreed: "There is no way. When I joined the Demon Suppression Division, I was mentally prepared. If I were really afraid of death, there was no need to join the Demon Suppression Division."

Old Lady Li was stunned.

She stared at Gu Yuan, looked for a while, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid." Gu Yuan curled his lips, "Who in the world is not afraid of death? Unless... there is something more terrible than death."

"I have read your information. In my opinion, you have finally become extraordinary and have the strength you have now. You should cherish life more." Old Mrs. Li said, "In a situation like you, you should cherish life more."

Is it? "

"Yes!" Gu Yuan's face showed a gentle smile. He thought for a while and said, "Probably, my life was originally obtained by someone else."

The old lady stared at Gu Yuan for a while, thinking about something.

After a while, she nodded gently.

"I understand a little now why he chose you."

"Bronze sacred tree?"

"I'm talking about Li Siming." said Old Lady Li.

Without waiting for Gu Yuan to speak, the old lady said immediately: "You should be very clear about the current situation. Whether it is the Ling family or Guanlongshan, they are looking for you. Even if I allow it, you are not willing to stay here forever, right?

?”

Gu Yuan's expression became solemn again.

"But, as long as you become the guardian of the bronze sacred tree, Guanlong Mountain will definitely stand on your side." Old Mrs. Li said with deep eyes.
