Chapter 157: Stay Out of Women's Matters
It had come...
Lin Xuan indeed coveted her younger sister.
The smile on Chu Yao's flower-like face gradually turned gloomy.
As for accepting a disciple, she did not believe it.
After all, Chu Ling'er was only a Spirit Body. With such a physique, looking across the Star Temple, she could not even reach the level of an outer sect disciple.
As a genuine Divine Fire Realm cultivator, Lin Xuan would not even accept an ordinary Divine Body as a disciple. How could he possibly look upon Chu Ling'er's physique with favor?
This was clearly doing unknown dirty deeds under the guise of accepting a disciple.
"Martial Uncle, my sister Ling'er has mediocre aptitude and is simply not qualified to become your disciple. I ask Martial Uncle to reconsider," Chu Yao said in a deep voice.
"No matter." Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "When this seat accepts a disciple, I only look at fate. Aptitude is not important."
After saying this, Lin Xuan thought Chu Yao and Chu Ling'er would be ecstatic and grateful to him.
After all, he did not disdain Chu Ling'er's physique. Accepting her as a disciple was a massive stroke of good fortune.
However, unexpectedly, Chu Yao's face was gloomy. Chu Ling'er hid behind her like a frightened quail, not daring to even show her head.
What was going on?
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded and looked blankly at the two sisters.
He was not a fierce flood or savage beast. Was he that terrifying?
"Martial Uncle, my sister does not want to become a disciple."
Since Lin Xuan did not understand polite words, Chu Yao spoke plainly with a firm attitude.
"Why?"
Lin Xuan did not understand. Monstrous good fortune was right before their eyes; why would the two sisters refuse?
Could it be...
Was Chu Yao afraid of being retaliated against by Zhimeng's disciple?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold, and killing intent soared in his heart. That damn Gu Qing ruined his good deeds time and again; he must kill him.
"I will not say the reason, but Martial Uncle should understand, right?" Chu Yao's tone was indifferent.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and laughed self-deprecatingly. "I did not expect that one day, I, Lin Xuan, would be unable to protect even a disciple..."
Chu Yao smiled but did not speak, allowing Lin Xuan to perform his act vigorously.
She had figured it out. Lin Xuan was hypocritical and cherished his own life, yet shamelessly wanted to play the victim to win sympathy from others.
He had absolutely no bearing or dignity of a powerhouse.
Chu Yao was certain that Lin Xuan had no intention of giving up on accepting the disciple. As long as she spoke up, Lin Xuan would climb up the stick.
This was indeed the case.
Seeing Chu Yao remain silent for a long time, Lin Xuan could not hold his face.
He originally thought Chu Yao would be amused by his humor and approachability, and then share his hatred of the enemy.
Who knew that Chu Yao's heart was colder than a fish-killing knife used for ten years at Daranfa.
But the atmosphere had already reached this point, and Lin Xuan found it hard to get off the tiger. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yao'er, I promise you, with me here, Gu Qing absolutely cannot harm a single hair on Ling'er's head."
"Moreover, you are Jiang Yu's disciple. No matter how bold Gu Qing is, for your sake, he would not dare to lay a killing hand on your sister."
Hearing these words, Chu Yao suddenly realized. I am afraid this was Lin Xuan's true objective.
Fancying her sister was real.
At the same time, he also wanted to ease relations with Jiang Yu through her.
Knowing Lin Xuan wanted to eat one fish two ways, Chu Yao was even less likely to agree. She refused sternly, with a posture that allowed no negotiation.
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly in helplessness. "Ling'er is truly lucky to have a sister who cares about her so much. But this concerns the Great Dao; shouldn't you at least ask for Ling'er's opinion?"
"I am not willing."
Chu Ling'er's soft voice rang out.
Although Chu Ling'er's rejection was within Lin Xuan's expectations, hearing it for real still made him feel stifled and uncomfortable.
He just wanted to accept a disciple; why was it so difficult?
In the final analysis, it was because he was not strong enough and did not give the two sisters enough of a sense of security.
Lin Xuan made up his mind. Even if it was for Chu Ling'er, he had to eliminate Gu Qing at all costs.
Otherwise, such a cute, obedient, and soft loli would be destined to miss him.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan sighed and smiled bitterly in helplessness. "Alright, I will temporarily not accept Ling'er as a disciple. You find out news about Gu Qing as soon as possible."
"Martial Uncle can rest ten thousand hearts about my handling of affairs. I will give Martial Uncle a result by tomorrow at the latest."
Chu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid Lin Xuan would use his power to pressure others and forcibly accept a disciple.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan still wanted some face; otherwise, she would only have been able to trouble Jiang Yu to appear.
"En, I am at ease when you handle things."
Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction. When he left, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold sneer.
"Gu Qing, oh Gu Qing, no matter how cunning you are like a ghost, you cannot escape being calculated by me."
Thinking of making Gu Qing speak his own secret, and then using this secret to eradicate Gu Qing, Lin Xuan felt a burst of refreshment.
"Pui!"
Chu Yao spat towards the direction where Lin Xuan disappeared, her charming face full of disgust.
She had never seen such a hypocritical, stingy, and nitpicking man.
Asking her to take risks to scout for news without giving her a single hair; Lin Xuan took all the benefits.
It was also fortunate that she was not a delicate woman, otherwise she would have suffered a great loss.
"Sister, what should we do?" Chu Ling'er held her arm, her big eyes shining brightly.
She had seen the entire conversation and transaction between the two.
Her sister would definitely go find Gu Qing, and she could see her idol again.
"Do not rush, I will call Gu Qing in right now."
"Brother Gu Qing came over?"
"Silly sister."
Chu Yao pinched her sister's chubby cheeks, her fox eyes revealing a look of doting.
With a thought, she opened the formation, and Gu Qing walked out from the void.
"Brother Gu Qing..."
Chu Ling'er smiled purely, kicked her little legs, and flew into Gu Qing's arms like a Pomeranian.
"Cough, this has nothing to do with me, ha."
Seeing Chu Yao holding her forehead helplessly, Gu Qing held up Chu Ling'er's little bottom with one hand, while pointing innocently at Chu Ling'er with the other hand.
The sun and moon can testify; he definitely did not seduce the little loli.
It was Chu Ling'er who delivered herself to him.
"I know," Chu Yao said in annoyance. "Ling'er has not had much contact with the outside world. I should not have mentioned you to her in the beginning."
She truly did not expect that her simple and innocent sister would be so crazily obsessed with an idol.
She could not bear to look at this worthless appearance.
Disgraceful.
"So fragrant..."
Chu Ling'er sniffed Gu Qing's aura, feeling her whole person sublimating as she hung limply on his body.
You are also very fragrant... Gu Qing said silently.
Chu Ling'er's body fragrance was very peculiar, similar to the fresh scent of nature mixed with a faint smell of milk.
One sniff was very intoxicating.
"Sit."
"I will entrust Ling'er to you."
Chu Yao said seriously.
Actually, when Chu Ling'er followed Gu Qing to the Star Temple, she guessed that her profit-seeking old father must have given Ling'er to Gu Qing.
She had nothing to say about this; as long as there was mutual affection, it was fine.
"En!" Gu Qing hummed, placed the beauty in his arms onto his lap, and asked, "What did he say to you?"
Chu Yao briefly recounted the matter and asked with a frown, "Is your Master just letting him be without interfering?"
She did not understand. An enemy with whom she shared an undying feud was jumping around on her own territory; why did Zhimeng not take action to kill Lin Xuan?
"I also do not know what she is thinking."
Gu Qing sighed.
If not for him suppressing Lin Xuan's rising momentum, he estimated that Zhimeng would have already been pressed to the ground and slapped in the face by Lin Xuan.
Zhimeng was indeed strong, and her methods and shrewdness were impeccable.
However, Zhimeng's arrogant and evil personality was hard to evaluate.
"What about you?"
"He wants to gain enough supporters by accepting disciples. Additionally, he wants his disciple to become the Divine Son. If he succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Both of them tacitly avoided speaking Lin Xuan's name to prevent him from sensing it.
Chu Yao spoke with worry.
"Just tell him that I coveted the Temple Master's beauty and was discovered, causing both of them to be furious."
Gu Qing thought for a moment and felt this reason was most suitable; Lin Xuan would definitely believe it without a doubt.
He provided the reason. Given Lin Xuan's nature, he would definitely be impatient to let Su Yang come out to posture and gain reputation.
But to become the Divine Son, one must first defeat him.
At that time, Gu Qing could harvest another adoptive father.
As for Lin Xuan wanting to accept disciples.
With Luo Li, this Great Villain of Destiny, watching, Lin Xuan was destined for nothing but trouble.
Therefore, Lin Xuan's self-righteous and heaven-shaking calculations were destined to calculate nothing.
"What?"
Chu Yao was shocked.
Chu Ling'er also woke up from her daze.
Gu Qing coveted the Temple Master's beauty?
Leaving aside whether Gu Qing did or not, how did he dare to say such treasonous words?
Was he not afraid of being beaten to death by Jiang Yu?
"Just do as I say." Gu Qing smiled.
"Fine, alright!"
"Then..."
"What exactly happened between you and her?" Chu Yao was incomparably curious in her heart and asked tentatively.
Gu Qing's eyelids twitched. "Nothing, it will be fine after a period of time."
After a period of time, Zhimeng would be able to coax herself well; no need to panic... Gu Qing thought prayerfully.
"It will not affect you becoming the Divine Son?"
Chu Yao's heart felt like a cat was scratching it; she desperately wanted to know what happened between the three.
But if Gu Qing did not say, it was useless no matter how she asked.
However, it could be concluded that the relationship between Gu Qing and Jiang Yu was definitely not ordinary.
Otherwise, Gu Qing would not dare to blaspheme Jiang Yu.
"It will not affect it."
"Then I am at ease."
The giant stone hanging in Chu Yao's heart finally fell. Her fox-like charming face smiled like a flower as she took out a jade box with expectant eyes.
"Open it and take a look."
"What is it, being so mysterious..."
Gu Qing opened it for a look, and the aura of Star Source gushed out.
Pa!
Gu Qing immediately closed it and asked in surprise, "How could he give you such a heavy treasure?"
"No, it is for you."
"Me?" Gu Qing was even more confused.
Lin Xuan knew he was the Starry Cosmos Divine Body yet still gave him the Heart of Stars? Could it be that Lin Xuan had gone mad?
"En." Chu Yao smiled like a cunning fox and slowly recounted how she tricked Lin Xuan.
After Gu Qing heard this, three big words popped up in his mind: This also works?
What about the agreed-upon persona of the protagonist being stingy and only taking in without giving out?
Could it be that he thought wrong, and Lin Xuan was actually a wealth-distributing protagonist?
That should not be the case either.
No matter how much wealth Lin Xuan distributed, he would not be stupid enough to fund the enemy.
"Did he not think about taking it for free?" Gu Qing could not help but ask.
"He did, he definitely did. He is a stingy and nitpicking man." Chu Yao cursed angrily.
"But I am not a delicate woman who knows nothing of the world. He is not qualified to take advantage of me."
"Impressive." Gu Qing praised sincerely.
Chu Yao, a Destiny Heroine, was almost developing into a female villain.
If Lin Xuan found out he had been deceived, who knew if he would go mad with anger.
"This is for you."
The Heart of Stars was of great use to him; it could be merged into the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda to evolve a boundless starry sky.
At that time, he could use it to comprehend the Great Dao of Stars.
Therefore, for such a heavy treasure, Gu Qing could not accept it for free, so he packed one hundred million strands of Xuanhuang Mother Qi for her.
"Xuanhuang Mother Qi..."
Chu Yao took a deep breath, shock overflowing in her expression.
"Take it; I cannot let you work for nothing." Gu Qing interrupted Chu Yao's words of refusal.
Chu Yao pursed her alluring red lips and silently accepted it.
She thought for a moment and said, "I forgot to tell you. Besides Su Yang wanting to be the Divine Son, there are many other Heaven's Prides who want to rise to the position."
"One by one, they are scrambling to visit elders and challenge opponents to farm reputation."
"Why don't you take action and also farm some reputation?"
Hearing these words, the word "monkeys" popped into Gu Qing's mind.
Busy monkeys striving for a new journey, rolling heaven and earth, but it was useless, destined to make wedding dresses for others.
And he was the person sitting and watching the monkeys strive, just waiting for the time to be ripe to harvest the fruits of victory.
Tsk, this feeling was quite intoxicating.
No wonder Jiang Yu kept stringing Zhimeng along.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing rejected Chu Yao's good intentions, pinched Chu Ling'er's fair and smooth face, and similarly gave her one hundred million strands of Xuanhuang Mother Qi.
"Cultivate well. I will look for you to play after I finish my work."
"En en!"
Although Chu Ling'er was reluctant, she nodded obediently and watched Gu Qing leave with reluctance.
"Ling'er, I am going out for a while. You stay obediently at home and do not go out, understand?"
"Oh!"
Chu Yao quickly caught up with Gu Qing, and the two arrived at the Star Temple gate side by side.
"What are you coming over for?" Gu Qing looked at her, confused.
He came here to welcome Lin Chuqing; surely Chu Yao was not also coming to welcome the two of them?
Was this not being a lightbulb? It was somewhat of an eyesore.
"Can I not? Stay out of women's matters."
Chu Yao rolled her eyes, her expression enchanting and stirring the heartstrings.
She and Lin Chuqing had been spiritual friends for many years but had never met.
Today, no matter what, she had to meet Lin Chuqing.
