10: Are you worthy?

How dare someone disagree?

A Saint shows such sincerity, yet someone still disagrees?

The Elders of Chongxuan Pavilion's expressions changed drastically, becoming so grim they could drip water.

They quickly turned their murderous gazes towards the source of the sound.

They saw Gu Yan laboriously supporting himself with his hands, craning his neck, his chest still heaving with anger.

“Gu Yan?? ”

“What right does he have to speak at a time like this?”

Several Elders frowned and reprimanded him loudly.

Gu Yan simply couldn't hold back any longer!

This illusion was utterly absurd!

To provoke him, it forcibly made his Revered Master, such a conservative woman, marry his mortal enemy Chu Feng??

It even forcibly produced hundreds of kilograms of Saint-tier Cultivation Technique!

It was too ridiculous!

Gu Yan admitted, it did provoke him.

Even though he knew it was an illusion, seeing the woman he admired in such a state, his fervent possessiveness completely enraged him!

Even if it was a test, humiliation shouldn't be like this!

Jealousy, anger, indignation…

All kinds of emotions surged into his heart.

He knew very well that if he continued to suppress himself, he might become deeply trapped in the illusion and fail completely.

The key to breaking the situation might not be acting like a ninja turtle!

Facing one's true heart and loudly saying no! That was equally important!

So at this moment, Gu Yan chose to step forward and do what a man should do!

Even in an illusion, he had to stop this farce from happening!

Nangong Qin… she could only be his!

“Gu Yan, what are you? Get back!”

“A mere Disciple, daring to point fingers in such a matter? How audacious! Do you not want to live?”

“…”

Upon discovering that it was Gu Yan who spoke, many Elders immediately shouted sternly!

If Gu Yan had gained the Saint's appreciation before and become his Legacy, then at this moment, all the Elders would not have dared to speak loudly to Gu Yan.

But now, Gu Yan's test had clearly failed, the Saint did not favor him, but instead chose the Pavilion Revered Master, yet he still dared to jump out, which made many Elders furious!

Didn't he see those hundreds of kilograms of Saint-tier treasures?

The Pavilion Revered Master's marriage, even she herself agreed to it.

Today was the day Chongxuan Pavilion would soar!

This was a great joyous occasion!

You, a mere Disciple of Chongxuan Pavilion, dare to come out and cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, are you worthy?

[The Heavenly Mandate Protagonist's actions provoked the wrath of Chongxuan Pavilion, losing their trust. Destiny Value decreased by five thousand points. You gained a heavenly fate treasure chest * 1.]

[The Heavenly Mandate Protagonist's actions caused the female protagonist Nangong Qin to feel disgusted. Destiny Value decreased by five thousand points. You gained a heavenly fate treasure chest * 1.]

Chu Feng watched the information popping up on the System panel with interest.

Tsk tsk, another ten thousand points.

Destiny Value is plummeting.

Chu Feng glanced at Gu Yan. In the short time he had been with him, Gu Yan's Destiny Value had almost dropped by half.

Not only that, he had gained two more destiny treasure boxes.

Comfortable!

To be honest.

Even he was very surprised by Gu Yan's reaction. This Heavenly Mandate Protagonist… how did he feel a kind of beauty in his mental deficiency?

He was quite good at enduring before, why did he suddenly become so impatient?

He did not express any opinion, merely watched Gu Yan continue his performance indifferently.

The more vigorously he performed, the more severely his Destiny Value would plummet.

Gu Yan's heart tightened when he was reprimanded by the Elder.

He ignored these tools in the illusion and spoke loudly again: “I just object!”

Looking directly at Nangong Qin and the Elders, he shouted: “Is it appropriate to propose marriage on the first meeting?”

“How proud is my Revered Master? How could she possibly be willing?”

“And to be a concubine? How ridiculous!”

His words made the Elders' expressions change.

Young people are simply short-sighted!

In the Xuan Realm, there are large clans and Sects that form marital alliances without even meeting, and no one has ever broken off an engagement. What's wrong with proposing marriage on the first meeting?

“Gu Yan, shut your stinking mouth!”

“Senior Saint did not force the Pavilion Revered Master from beginning to end, and even presented such a heavy gift. Is that not enough sincerity?”

Elder Jiang puffed out his beard and glared, his gaze fixed angrily on Gu Yan.

Gu Yan sneered and looked at Nangong Qin, saying: “Sincerity? With just this toilet paper?”

“How could my Revered Master care about these external things?”

Nangong Qin gazed at Gu Yan, frowning as she said: “Gu Yan, stop talking nonsense. You should go back and rest first.”

Actually, Gu Yan wasn't entirely wrong about one thing. From her personal perspective, she actually didn't want to agree to marry someone she had only met once.

But she wasn't alone!

Being able to become the Pavilion Revered Master of Chongxuan Pavilion, Nangong Qin was not a naive young girl who understood nothing!

Behind her was Chongxuan Pavilion! And she carried the fate of the Nangong clan!

The weight of these things was something young people like Gu Yan could not understand.

As long as the stakes were high enough and did not involve her bottom line, many things could be traded.

These Saint-tier Cultivation Techniques were not toilet paper.

They were supreme treasures capable of changing the history of the Xuan Realm!

This was three hundred kilograms!

Enough to make Nangong Qin willingly become a concubine!

Because she knew very well that she was not worthy of being the Dao Companion of an existence who could casually produce three hundred kilograms of Saint-tier Cultivation Technique!

Being a concubine might even be a high climb!

If one's virtue does not match their position, disaster will surely follow.

If she shamelessly occupied the position of this Senior's Dao Companion, there might be endless troubles in the future!

That's why she took the initiative to propose it!

These things were not convenient to say in public.

She and the Elders of Chongxuan Pavilion all knew it clearly!

Nangong Qin originally thought that a Genius as outstanding as Gu Yan should also understand these things.

She never expected him to act so immaturely!

She was a little disappointed!

Nangong Qin's words made a female Elder quickly agree: “Saint, please forgive him. Gu Yan was severely injured in the previous test, so he must have injured his brain. He is not very clear-headed right now, which is why he is speaking carelessly. Please forgive him, Saint.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan felt a chill in his heart, but he did not retreat an inch, saying in a deep voice: “Revered Master, I know you are considering Chongxuan Pavilion, but this matter… forget it, what am I saying to an illusion?”

His gaze shifted, fixing on Chu Feng, and he said loudly: “Senior, this farce should end now, right?”

Chu Feng, who was enjoying the show, suddenly heard Gu Yan call his name. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him: “Illusion?”

“Is a single illusionary test not enough here? Do you have to create these disgusting things to disturb my state of mind?”

“Do you think that if you snatch away everything I possess, my mentality will collapse?”

“No, it won't! I just find such matters too boring.”

“If Senior insists on continuing, then I, Gu, must excuse myself.”

Gu Yan's eyes were red, and he spoke each word slowly, his tone cold with indignation.

To toy with his beloved possessions so wantonly.

He would not accept such a thing!

At this moment, tearing off the facade was not only facing his true self, but also demonstrating his decisiveness and steadfastness.

In Gu Yan's view, no matter what aspect this Senior's test intended to examine, he was qualified!

This farce should end here!
