Gu Chen would rather be hunted down endlessly than compromise with the owner of Penglai Island.

His temperament was originally like this, and he was indomitable. The owner of Penglai Island used various general forces to suppress him and tried to force him to submit, but it was counterproductive.

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

Seeing Gu Chen's decisive tone, the owner of Penglai Island showed disappointment in his eyes.

"In this case, you can continue to suffer, the old man will patiently wait for your change of heart."

He turned and walked towards the ocean, his indifferent voice echoing on the island.

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

After the words fell, he had already disappeared on the sea level, and in the distance, there were countless rainbows coming at a fast speed, and it seemed that a new enemy had discovered his trace.

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

In the next few days, Gu Chen hid everywhere in the vast sea, while the major sects of Penglai Xiandao organized a huge search network to search for his whereabouts comprehensively.

"Catch the counterfeit!"

"Catch the thief!"

"Seize this ungrateful, ignorant thing!"

They pursued Gu Chen relentlessly, chasing him seemed to be a carnival, and their enthusiasm never faded.

They never knew about Gu Chen, and they didn't care about the truth of the matter, so they deliberately wanted to kill him.

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

Five days later, exhausted physically and mentally, he fled to a remote island and collapsed on the beach due to exhaustion.

"Son, are you okay?"

When he regained consciousness a little, he heard an old voice.

With a tense expression on his face, he almost thought that another enemy was coming, and he was about to attack immediately, but he saw a pair of veteran hands handing a bowl of hot porridge in front of him.

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

The old fisherman seemed to be exposed to the wind and sun every day, so his skin was particularly dark. When he smiled, he showed his teeth blackened by smoke.

He has no cultivation at all, just a pure mortal, which is rare in the Fairy Continent.

Everyone practices here, and the chance of meeting mortals is much more difficult than meeting monks.

Gu Chen's defensiveness weakened for a moment, and the non-aggressive old man could not pose a threat to him.

"Drink something, kid, you seem to be very tired." The old fisherman said kindly to Gu Chen.

"Squeak!"

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

Gu Chen collapsed on the beach just like that, and he couldn't wake it up no matter how much he woke up, until the old fisherman who lived here by the sea found him and brought hot porridge to the two of them.

"Thank you, old man."

Gu Chen hasn't eaten mortal food for a long time, maybe because he is too tired right now, smelling the porridge smells his appetite.

He picked up the porridge and muttered a few sips before drinking it. After the soup entered his stomach, he felt a little bit of strength recovered in his body.

"Don't worry, there's more."

The old fisherman laughed, and he led Gu Chen and Bai Yuan into the seaside courtyard where he lived.

Sure enough, there is a big pot in the yard, the porridge inside is full of fragrance, and there are dried shrimps and other things floating on the porridge.

He served a few more bowls of porridge for the two of them, and they ate everything.

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

"Old man, do you live alone on this island?"

He asked with a little surprise, the old fisherman was already very old, Gu Chen could feel the dead energy in his body, it was clear that his lifespan was approaching.

It is really dangerous for such a centenarian to live on this deserted island with no one to rely on.

"It turns out that there is still an old man's 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 yard, the old man had clearly lived alone for a long time.

"It's been fifty years. He was about your age when he left."

The old man looked at Gu Chen kindly, as if he missed his son more and more because time was running out.

"Hasn't come back for so long? Where did he go?"

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

"I went to the mainland, saying that I want to learn the method of cultivating immortals, but I don't know what's going on now."

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

Gu Chen was silent for a while, the old man looked desolate and lonely, and he didn't have a good life for a few days, it was really sympathetic.

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

The old fisherman asked a few words with concern.

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

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

He has lived alone on this deserted island for too long, and it is rare to have someone to talk about.

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 seeing the way he looked 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 caring too much.

Gu Chen can only talk more with the old man, and take the time to rest at the same time.

This time he was lucky, he stayed in the old man's house all night and no enemy came to him.

The old man's life was very simple, and the content of the chat was nothing more than the story of his fishing in the sea 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 Ling Fu'an.

Blessed and safe in life, the old man has the simplest wish for his son, but unfortunately his son has great ambitions.

When Ling Fuan was eighteen years old, one year younger than the current Gu Chen, he resolutely went to sea alone, and went to the mainland to find the way to cultivate immortality.

This walk lasted for fifty years and never came back.

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

The world of monks is extremely cruel. If ordinary people want to climb up, how easy is it?

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

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

"We are monks of the Golden Light Cave, one of the seventy-two caves under Penglai Xiandao, shameless thieves, are you going to catch me without a fight?"

A group of dozens of monks surrounded the island.

Seeing this, the old fisherman looked at Gu Chen worriedly, "Son, did your enemy come to your door? Run!"

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