At the same time, Duan Lingtian took a serious look at Gu Li.
Guli is a sturdy young man with a height of 1.9 meters. He wears a slightly tight robe that fully displays his almost perfect muscles, giving people a visual sense of power.
In addition, Gu Li's face was extremely resolute, exuding the charm of an iron-blooded man. This could be seen from the nymphomaniacal looks of many female disciples of Xuankong Palace when they looked at him.
"The number one person on the "Xuankong List"? He is only in his early fifties and has reached the peak of the Great Sage Realm with his cultivation?"
Through the whispers around him, Duan Lingtian easily learned some things about Gu Li, and was greatly surprised for a moment.
However, what surprised him even more was what came next.
"The only son of the protector of Xuankong Mansion?"
Only then did Duan Lingtian realize that Gu Li was not only talented and powerful, but also had an unusual background. He was actually the only son of one of the two protectors of Xuan Kong Mansion.
The two great protectors of Xuankong Mansion are recognized as the strongest men in Xuankong Mansion, second only to the palace master!
With such a background, although it is a little worse than Zhao Ji, it is not much worse.
After all, after Zhao Ji's death, he only had a father who was the deputy palace master.
Of course, Duan Lingtian knew in his heart that the reason why the Xuankong Palace disciples present respected Gu Li was not because of Gu Li's background, but because of Gu Li's strength.
Zhao Ji's background is better than Gu Li's, but how many people treat him with such respect?
"Senior Brother Gu Li, do you know this Ling Tian?"
Zhao Baiju looked at Gu Li and asked with some anxiety.
Although he wanted to stand up for his junior brother and take revenge, facing Gu Li, he felt powerless in his heart.
If Gu Li really wanted to protect Ling Tian, he and Zhao Heitu had no choice.
Therefore, he could only pray in his heart now, hoping that Gu Li only came out to watch the fun, not to help Ling Tian... Even though he himself felt that this possibility was almost impossible, he couldn't help but think so.
"do not know."
However, Gu Li's indifferent response next made Zhao Baiju's eyes light up, and even Zhao Heitu's eyes also brightened.
Gu Li, don’t you know Ling Tian?
Zhao Ji's face, which originally seemed to be shrouded in clouds, suddenly dispersed and revealed a bright smile when Gu Li finished speaking.
"This Guli, since I don't know him, why did he come out here for nothing? To show off his presence?"
Zhao Ji felt a little dissatisfied.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, don't you know Ling Tian?"
As Gu Li finished speaking, except for Duan Lingtian, all the Xuankong Palace disciples present were also stunned.
They originally thought that Gu Li was the helper Ling Tian had found, but they didn't expect that at the critical moment, Gu Li actually said that he didn't know Ling Tian!
"It seems that we all thought wrong. Senior Brother Guli is not the helper Ling Tian found."
"Senior Brother Guli showed up. I thought Ling Tian could escape this disaster... But I didn't expect that Senior Brother Guli didn't come for Ling Tian! Since Senior Brother Guli doesn't know Ling Tian, there seems to be no reason to help Ling Tian. ."
"Perhaps, Senior Brother Gu Li just wanted to show up and join in the fun, and didn't want to help Ling Tian at all."
…
Many Xuankong Palace disciples whispered, and the glances that fell on Duan Lingtian also showed a little more pity.
In their opinion, since Gu Li did not know Duan Lingtian, he was definitely not the helper Duan Lingtian had found. Without Gu Li's help, Duan Lingtian would not be the opponent of Zhao Baiju and Zhao Heitu, even if Duan Lingtian had Wang Pi's help.
"Senior Brother Gu Li doesn't know Junior Brother Ling Tian?"
Wang Pi's expression changed, and his whole figure was like a deflated rubber ball, as if he had fallen from heaven into hell.
Although he had planned to help Duan Lingtian early on, he knew that even if he helped, he could not stop Zhao Baiju and Zhao Heitu.
And at this moment, Gu Li's appearance was like a flame appearing in the darkness, igniting the hope in his heart.
As long as Gu Li is willing to help, Junior Brother Ling Tian will definitely be able to save the day from danger today!
Seeing Gu Li appear, Wang Pi also thought that Gu Li knew his junior brother Ling Tian!
But he didn't expect that Gu Li didn't know his junior brother Ling Tian at all!
Since I don't know him, there is no reason to help.
Like Wang Pi, Wang Feixuan also breathed a sigh of relief when Gu Li showed up, thinking that Gu Li was Duan Lingtian's friend and would help Duan Lingtian, otherwise what would he do if he jumped out of nowhere?
However, when Gu Li said that she was not Duan Lingtian's friend, her expression couldn't help but change.
However, when she saw that Duan Lingtian was calm from beginning to end, showing that it was none of his business, he could not help but soften a little, "Looking at this guy's expression, he probably doesn't know Gu. Strength... So, his previous confidence did not come from 'Guli'."
"Is it possible that he can really use his cultivation at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm to fight against the martial arts cultivators at the early stage of the Great Saint Realm?"
Thinking of this, although Wang Feixuan felt a little weird, she still had some expectations deep in her heart.
She looked at Duan Lingtian, her eyes flickering, and she murmured to herself, "I hope you're not bragging."
"It turns out that senior brother Gu Li doesn't know him."
Zhao Heitu looked at Gu Li, grinned, and then his face darkened slightly, "Senior brother Gu Li, this Ling Tianzhen is so arrogant that he not only hurt my junior brother, but also humiliated him in front of everyone... Today , as long as Senior Brother Guli can do it conveniently, our Zhao family will continue to support you."
Snapped! !
Just when Zhao Heitu finished speaking, a crisp slap sounded, and Gu Li didn't see any movement. Zhao Heitu's head suddenly tilted, and half of his face was swollen.
"Senior Brother Guli, you... you are..."
Zhao Heitu was naturally angry after being slapped for no reason, but he did not dare to show it in front of Gu Li. He just looked at Gu Li with a confused and aggrieved face.
"Who do you think you are, worthy of showing off in front of me? Who do you think you deserve to make things easier for me? Who do you think you deserve to represent the Zhao family?"
Gu Li looked at Zhao Heitu with a sarcastic smile and said lightly.
Others, including Duan Lingtian, were also stunned after seeing this scene. They didn't know what Gu Li was doing.
He obviously didn't know Duan Lingtian, but at this moment, he slapped Zhao Heitu.
Although Zhao Heitu's expression was a bit gloomy just now, everyone knew that his expression was for Duan Lingtian, but Gu Li took advantage of this and said that he was showing off and gave him a slap in the face.
This is clearly intended to protect Duan Lingtian!
"Gu Li, don't go too far!"
Zhao Ji's face darkened and he glared at Gu Li.
Although his strength is far inferior to Gu Li, he is not afraid of Gu Li, after all, his background is there.
However, he roared angrily, but Gu Li seemed not to hear him at all, and ignored him from beginning to end.
Suddenly, Zhao Ji was extremely angry, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire at any time.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, didn't you say you don't know this Ling Tian?"
Unlike Zhao Ji who was confident, Zhao Baiju's face was full of bitterness and confusion when he looked at Gu Li.
As Zhao Baiju finished speaking, everyone's eyes, including Duan Lingtian's, fell on Gu Li...
They were also quite curious about this, wondering why Gu Li stood up for Duan Lingtian and protected Duan Lingtian when he didn't know Duan Lingtian.
"Who said that if I don't know him, I can't help him?"
Gu Li glanced at Zhao Baiju lightly, then a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "What? Do you have any objections?"
Zhao Baiju immediately stopped talking.
Opinion?
Of course he has opinions!
But, does he dare to say it?
He is not Zhao Ji. Gu Li takes care of his master and the old protector, so even if he attacks Zhao Ji, he cannot be cruel.
And even if he was killed by Gu Li, his death would be in vain!
Although he is willing to die for his master, even if he dies, he must die in a worthwhile way. Being killed for showing off his strength at this time is undoubtedly worthless.
"Junior Brother Lingtian, why don't you quickly say thank you to Senior Brother Gu Li!"
At this time, Wang Pi's voice came to Duan Lingtian's ears, and Wang Pi was reminding Duan Lingtian.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, looked at Gu Li's back, and slightly cupped his hands, "Senior Brother Gu Li, thank you."
"Ha ha……"
Hearing Duan Lingtian's voice, Gu Li immediately turned around, looked at Duan Lingtian, and laughed, "Junior brother Lingtian, I have heard of you a long time ago, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Today, the Tiandian competition enters I came here just to see you for my quota in the Holy Martial Secret Realm."
"In the past, I only knew that your martial arts talent was even better than mine, but I didn't know much about you as a person."
"After all the previous events, I also discovered that Junior Brother Lingtian, you are very fond of me!"
When talking about it later, Gu Li looked like he was "hate to meet each other too late".
"That's really my honor."
Duan Lingtian also smiled.
Although, even without Gu Li standing up for him, he is not afraid of Zhao Baiju and Zhao Heitu.
But these Guli didn't know.
Therefore, he accepted Guli's favor.
At the same time, the Xuankong Mansion disciples present finally knew why Gu Li stood up for Duan Lingtian without knowing Duan Lingtian. It turned out that he was sympathetic to Duan Lingtian and hated to meet Duan Lingtian so late.
Gu Li and Duan Lingtian, the former was previously recognized as the number one genius in Xuankong Mansion for hundreds of years, and the latter is now recognized as the number one genius in Xuankong Mansion for hundreds of years. The two became friends virtually as soon as they met. It just goes with the saying 'birds of a feather flock together, people flock together'.
"Gulli!"
Just when many people, including Zhao Baiju and Zhao Heitu, thought that the matter had been settled, Zhao Ji's eyes were filled with anger, his sharp gaze fell on Gu Li, and he said in a deep voice: "You are deliberately trying to get along with I, Zhao Ji, am against me?"
Zhao Ji's voice was gloomy and cold, as if coming from the ice cave, giving people a creepy feeling.
"Little junior brother!"
Zhao Baiju and Zhao Heitu couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw that the smile on Gu Li's face disappeared and Gu Li's eyes shifted from Duan Lingtian to Zhao Ji.
