Chapter 159 The Stupid Beauty Who Looks Shrewd, Cheating Lin Xuan out of Two Supreme Treasures Again
Gu Qing selected a palace for the two to stay in. Just as he wanted to leave, he was stopped by Luorou.
"Why did you kill Lin Xuan's disciple?"
Gu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Paths are different, we cannot conspire together, and each follows their own aspirations."
He and Lin Xuan not only continued the previous generation's grudges but were also in a struggle of orthodoxies. It was an endless situation, a contradiction that could not be resolved.
Luorou listened, fell silent for a while, and said indignantly, "Zhimeng, this bad seed, is despicable, nasty, and shameless. She is a poisonous woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion..."
Gu Qing: ...
It was he who killed Lin Xuan's disciple; why was Luorou scolding Zhimeng?
Did she not blame him at all?
Gu Qing glanced at Lin Chuqing. Luorou was indeed as Lin Chuqing stated in the letter; she scolded Zhimeng whether there was an issue or not. A thousand mistakes and ten thousand mistakes were all Zhimeng's fault.
After Luorou finished scolding, her clear and bright beautiful eyes revealed a look of consideration, full of worry.
She knew clearly that the hatred between Zhimeng and Lin Xuan could not be resolved; it was either you die or I die.
Gu Qing, as a disciple, could only follow Zhimeng down the dark path.
So the question came, who should she help?
Lin Chuqing saw her hesitation and spoke out, "Master, Zhimeng definitely knows you came over. Perhaps she is already thinking of some bad idea."
Hearing these words, Luorou's expression shook, and her clear beautiful eyes revealed a look of panic.
But soon she recovered her posture as a lady from a noble family, with quiet and elegant behavior.
"If she dares to come over, I will scold her to death," Luorou said, pretending to be vicious.
It was just that matching her delicate physique and pure, beautiful face, she looked tempting no matter how one looked at her.
"Correct, Master absolutely cannot show cowardice, otherwise Zhimeng will only become more lawless," Lin Chuqing echoed.
"En!"
Luorou nodded, pretending to be calm. She just remembered she came to scold Zhimeng.
What did the life or death of Lin Xuan's disciple have to do with her?
She already had a disciple; the vast sea had turned into mulberry fields, and her feelings for Lin Xuan had long vanished like smoke.
Thinking like this, Luorou regretted endlessly in her heart.
She was too impulsive; she should not have come. She should have cultivated with Lin Chuqing in the sect.
Occasionally guiding the sect disciples in cultivation, drinking tea and eating pastries with elders, admiring flowers and the moon, chatting about heaven and earth, discussing gossip and eating melons.
The little days would be beautiful.
However, it was too late to regret now.
Arriving at Zhimeng's territory, she did not know how that bad seed Zhimeng would bully her.
Luorou became more nervous the more she thought, having an impulse to run away.
Looking at the nervous Luorou, a trace of heartache flashed across Lin Chuqing's cold eyes.
Luorou had been bullied by Zhimeng for so many years that she was afraid just hearing Zhimeng's name now.
She could only rely on scolding to embolden herself.
"Ah Qing, leave Master to me. You go get busy. If possible..." Lin Chuqing transmitted her voice, but stopped at the end.
If possible, she hoped Gu Qing would also persuade Zhimeng not to bully Luorou anymore.
But what kind of figure was Zhimeng? How would she listen to Gu Qing?
"Okay, as long as she does not go out of Starlight Peak, it will be fine. My master will not come over." Gu Qing heard the meaning in her words.
Looking at Luorou again, his eyes became different.
Initially, he thought Luorou was a transcendent and refined mighty figure. He did not expect that she was not, but was instead a pitiful person who was bullied miserably.
Gu Qing also confirmed one thing.
Luorou was actually a stupid beauty who looked shrewd.
Gentle and elegant on the surface, but actually naive and simple.
She was the kind that was very easy to coax and deceive.
"Let's go."
Gu Qing signaled Chu Yao with his eyes. The latter immediately followed and transmitted, "Are you sure you want me to say that?"
Coveting Jiang Yu's beauty was not a big deal; in fact, countless people coveted Jiang Yu's beauty.
But saying it out loud was different.
This was a great blasphemy.
So she wanted to confirm again.
"Confirmed, proceed according to the plan."
Anyway, it was not his first time blaspheming Jiang Yu; doing it once more for beauty blasphemy was nothing.
Having too many debts does not weigh one down.
"Alright!"
Chu Yao did not persuade further, but became more curious in her heart. When did Gu Qing's relationship with Jiang Yu become so good?
Did Jiang Yu teach Gu Qing alchemy and develop master-disciple affection?
That was not right either.
If they were master and disciple, it should be even less appropriate to say this.
Could it be she fell in love with Gu Qing?
Thinking of this possibility, Chu Yao's pupils contracted, and huge waves rose in her heart.
She looked at Gu Qing, her fox eyes thoughtful.
If it were anyone else, she definitely would not think this way; after all, Jiang Yu was so transcendent and noble.
But if the object was Gu Qing, she felt it was very likely.
Gu Qing was simply too handsome, heroic and spirited, as noble as a deity embracing the moon in the nine heavens, making people involuntarily attracted in spirit.
Moreover, Gu Qing's talent was unparalleled, worthy of being the only one in eternity.
Thinking like this, Chu Yao had already arrived at Lin Xuan's Supreme Profound Peak. The defensive formation instantly opened a gap.
Chu Yao collected her thoughts and walked in.
On the mountain peak, Lin Xuan was sitting cross-legged with Su Yang and Shi Xuan. Mysterious Dao rhymes emerged around them.
Lin Xuan was preaching the Dao to his disciples.
"Yao'er, come sit."
Lin Xuan revealed an indifferent smile on his face. At the position he pointed to, a white jade rush cushion instantly appeared.
Chu Yao sat on it. The white jade rush cushion emitted a faint light, making her mind ethereal, and a sense of enlightenment surged into her heart.
Chu Yao touched the white jade rush cushion under her buttocks with greedy eyes.
This was a supreme treasure for comprehending the Dao. Cultivation speed could increase by at least ten times, or even more.
Besides that, the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion could also help people comprehend the Dao, with a high probability of sudden enlightenment. This was an opportunity many cultivators would not have in their entire lives.
The thought flashed by. Chu Yao had already started calculating how to cheat the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion into her hands.
She felt the probability of success was high.
After all, Lin Xuan took out such a supreme treasure, clearly wanting to use this to tempt her.
Moreover, Lin Xuan seemed to have quite a few Dao Comprehension Jade Cushions and did not seem to value them much.
Thinking of this, Chu Yao spoke with grievance, "Uncle-Master, the news has been inquired about, but..."
"What is wrong?"
Seeing her hesitate to speak, seemingly having unspeakable difficulties, Lin Xuan's face turned cold. If Gu Qing dared to harm a single hair of Chu Yao, he would kill Gu Qing even if he had to go up to heaven or down to earth, or to the Yellow Springs.
"Junior Sister, speak your mind directly. We will definitely uphold justice for you."
Su Yang's eyes were gloomy, not concealing his killing intent at all.
He had a very good relationship with Chu Yao, and she had helped him with many small favors.
Su Yang felt that Chu Yao liked him.
Seeing his admirer being bullied, Su Yang could almost not control his chest full of killing intent.
Only Shi Xuan frowned slightly. His intuition told him that something was wrong.
But he could not say what was wrong, though he believed in his intuition very much.
Relying on his keen intuition, he had escaped death countless times and never made a mistake.
"He forced me to swear a Heart Demon Poison Oath. I cannot say it. I am sorry, Uncle-Master, I have disappointed you." Chu Yao shook her head with a face full of guilt.
Lin Xuan almost lost his composure.
Damn it.
Why did he not think of this?
He originally thought that by using the Heart of Stars, he could extract news about Gu Qing, and then use this news to lay out a plan against Gu Qing.
Now the Heart of Stars was given, and the news was inquired about, but it could not be said.
Lin Xuan felt more aggrieved the more he thought about it. The surrounding aura became distorted because of him, showing how angry Lin Xuan was at this moment.
"Uncle-Master, this news is very important to you. If you lend me the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion to clear the heart demon, I am willing to reveal everything."
Chu Yao gritted her teeth, her expression firm yet enduring, as well as full of regret and guilt.
Her acting skills were simply maxed out, allowing no one to see any flaws.
"Yao'er, this is not your fault. It was my carelessness. I did not expect that little kid Gu Qing to be so insidious and cunning."
Seeing this, Lin Xuan comforted her with heartache, and then a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"However, that little kid Gu Qing underestimates me too much. It is merely a Heart Demon Oath; I can break it with a wave of my hand."
Chu Yao was stunned.
Could a Heart Demon Oath be broken using divine abilities?
Why had she never heard of it?
She saw Lin Xuan take out a jade box. An invisible force lifted it up and slowly floated it in front of Chu Yao.
"Open it and take a look."
Chu Yao did not expect that when Lin Xuan said he could break it with a wave of his hand, he actually meant giving a treasure. It was hard to comment.
However, she still opened it as told and took a glance. Immediately, her beautiful eyes widened: "Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit..."
The Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit was as its name suggested; it could substitute death once, and could even transfer the heart demon onto the Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit.
In addition, the Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit was also a treasure for reshaping the physical body and could also improve bone structure and aptitude. It could be said to have infinite magical uses.
It was unknown how many times stronger than a Substitute Divine Talisman.
The Substitute Divine Talisman was researched based on the Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit.
But the Substitute Divine Talisman could only achieve death substitution once; it could not do anything else.
"Uncle-Master, this is too precious, I cannot accept it." Chu Yao hurriedly returned it.
Indeed, the Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit was a supreme treasure she dreamed of. Owning it was equivalent to having an extra life.
But compared to the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion, she wanted the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion more.
Strength was the kingly way.
"It is just a small trinket; accept it, there is no need to have a psychological burden." Lin Xuan smiled indifferently, very satisfied with Chu Yao's appearance of not being moved upon seeing the treasure.
Indeed, she was worthy of being the person he valued.
If it were anyone else, they would have long wished to take it for themselves.
I have a fart of a psychological burden... Chu Yao cursed secretly.
She did things for Lin Xuan; was it not right for Lin Xuan to help her solve problems?
She had not even asked Lin Xuan for remuneration yet.
Lin Xuan, on the contrary, put on the airs of a life-saving benefactor.
Chu Yao's thoughts turned rapidly, and she probed, "Uncle-Master, I kept an eye out when I swore the oath. I presume the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion can solve it. As long as Uncle-Master lends it to me for a period of time."
"After solving the Heart Demon Oath, I will definitely return it to Uncle-Master immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan could not help but laugh at himself: "In your eyes, would I be such an irresponsible Uncle-Master? If I give it to you, then take it. This white jade rush cushion is also given to you."
"Ah?"
Chu Yao was stunned.
She looked at the Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit, and then at the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion.
A surge of panic emerged in her heart for no reason.
Back then, she flattered Lin Xuan just to help Gu Qing inquire about some news.
She did not expect that a single action at that time would allow her to obtain such a heaven-splashing fortune.
First, it was holy medicines and divine medicines, and the Heart of Stars.
And the Child-Mother Substitute Divine Fruit and the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion were simply treasures among treasures, existences for which the Divine Fire Realm would kill with red eyes.
Lin Xuan just gave them to her for free.
If one day Lin Xuan knew the truth, he would definitely tear her into pieces, right?
Chu Yao looked at Lin Xuan, whose face was light as the wind and calm as clouds. She pretended to decline a few times, and finally, under Lin Xuan's insistence, she accepted them with tears in her fox eyes.
Her heart was extremely excited.
Who cares.
The heaven-splashing fortune was right in front of her eyes; she had no reason to give it up.
When Lin Xuan discovered it that day, perhaps he would have already been killed by Gu Qing and Zhimeng.
Shi Xuan hesitated to speak. He always felt that Chu Yao's purpose was impure, as if she came for the treasures.
But Chu Yao's appearance of being wholeheartedly for Lin Xuan left him unable to find a single flaw, so he could only watch helplessly.
After all, it was just suspicion. Without evidence, it would be slander.
"Tell me, what exactly did Gu Qing do to anger those two people?" Lin Xuan's face was indifferent. He did not feel heartache for losing the treasures at all; instead, he was secretly delighted.
He originally intended to give the Dao Comprehension Jade Cushion to Chu Yao.
Since Chu Yao loved her younger sister so much, after knowing his strength, she would definitely regret not letting Chu Ling'er become his disciple back then, right?
Perhaps next time they met, he could accept Chu Ling'er.
At the thought of soon possessing a soft and cute loli disciple, Lin Xuan felt excited inside. Looking at the two disciples in front of him again, he immediately revealed a look of disdain.
"Gu Qing coveted my master's beauty and was discovered," Chu Yao said indignantly.
"What?"
Lin Xuan and his two disciples were shocked.
This news was simply too explosive for them.
Jiang Yu was the brightest pearl in the starry sky, the white moonlight that countless geniuses and mighty figures could only gaze at but not reach.
She was a deity who could not be blasphemed.
How did Gu Qing dare?
Although they thought this, the three of them firmly believed it without a doubt.
Because only in this way could it explain why the deeply valued Gu Qing fell out of favor overnight.
"So that is how it is!"
After the shock, Lin Xuan revealed an expression of 'as expected'.
The first time he saw Gu Qing, he knew Gu Qing harbored ill intentions toward Jiang Yu.
It almost made him misunderstand.
"Since Jiang Yu knows, why does she not kill him directly?" Lin Xuan's eyes were gloomy, like a Shura killing god.
Although he had decided to cut off relations with Jiang Yu and decided not to care about any of Jiang Yu's affairs anymore.
But he still could not stop his anger.
Such a despicable lecherous fanatic, even if not for Jiang Yu, he would definitely kill him.
Finding a reason to convince himself, the killing intent in Lin Xuan's eyes almost overflowed.
"I am not clear about this either. After he made me swear the oath, he occupied my cave abode. He should be refining the Heart of Stars right now," Chu Yao said distressfully.
"Deceiving people too much."
After listening to Chu Yao's words, Lin Xuan and his two disciples were so angry that their hair stood up.
Even Shi Xuan was no exception. At this time, he completely believed Chu Yao.
"This Gu Qing relies on being the Starry Cosmos Divine Body and is simply lawless."
"I will definitely kill him."
Chu Yao's encounter instantly triggered the protective desire of the three protagonists. Each one had soaring killing intent.
The three of them rushed out of the cave abode together.
Lin Xuan's gaze was cold and gloomy.
Without Jiang Yu's protection, Gu Qing was dead for sure today; he said so.
After all, those ancestors lying in coffins only had one chance to take action, and the time was limited. They would soon be sensed by the laws of heaven and earth, bringing down the ascension lightning tribulation.
Therefore, unless it was a last resort, they would absolutely not take action.
As for the other Divine Fire Realm experts in the Star Divine Hall, Lin Xuan really did not put them in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Yao sneered secretly, "Go, go, Gu Qing is waiting for you to come to his door, and also Luo Li..."
"Disciple Luo Li pays respects to Elder Lin Xuan."
Luo Li, who had been waiting under the mountain peak long ago, saw the three come out and immediately performed a junior's greeting, her attitude well-behaved.
But her majestic and cold phoenix eyes revealed a look of disdain and contempt.
As a Divine Fire Realm mighty figure, a top existence on the pyramid, Lin Xuan did not cultivate in seclusion properly to overlook the changes of eternal years, but instead jumped up and down everywhere like a clown.
And he even brought his disciples along; there was really no one like him.
