38: Gu Yan, doesn’t your conscience hurt?

Nangong Qin calmly looked at the young man, whose hair had turned white at some unknown point, in the sky.

Her beautiful Phoenix eyes were like a deep spring, so calm that no ripples could be seen.

Gu Yan also saw Nangong Qin.

Upon seeing his former Revered Master again, his eyes narrowed.

Nangong Qin was very beautiful today; her snow-like skin, set against a large red Phoenix robe, appeared even more noble.

Her dark, long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her exquisite features blended cold beauty with holiness.

Yet, that touch of deep red also exuded a certain charm, like a blooming peony.

He had never seen such a beautiful Nangong Qin.

At this moment, his eyes were almost unable to move away.

But when he saw the man beside Nangong Qin, his already pale face became as uncomfortable as if he had eaten excrement.

Chu Feng!

His dream lover was going to marry his most hated enemy today.

And as a concubine!

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Yan's chest heaved, and he felt somewhat broken.

Chu Feng was also looking at Gu Yan, who resembled a clown; Gu Yan's arrival was orchestrated by him, so he was naturally not surprised.

He looked at Nangong Qin and smiled faintly: “How do you want to handle him?”

Nangong Qin’s Phoenix eyes moved slightly, and her cold expression, at that instant, seemed like ice and snow melting, and all things reviving.

She gently shook her head and said: “He has no relation to me anymore; my husband can deal with him as he wishes.”

Her voice was calm, just like the light in her eyes, without any ripples.

But these words were like a sharp sword, piercing into Gu Yan’s chest!

Even though there was no longer any relationship.

But Nangong Qin's current heartless words still shattered Gu Yan's heart into pieces!

Before Chu Feng could speak.

Gu Yan’s face twisted, and he roared: “You hussy! I really misjudged you before.”

How long has it been!

How long??

She's already calling him 'husband' so naturally!

The wedding ceremony hasn't even begun yet! Are you that humble?

How could I, Gu Yan, have been so blind before to fall for such a materialistic woman!

Gu Yan had not failed to hear the words of those Great Experts earlier.

It was precisely because he had heard them that he was now even more enraged and humiliated!

His mind instantly recalled the voice he heard that day at the Qianxuan Holy Spring!

Anger surged!

To be subdued like a bitch by a mere three hundred catties of Saint-Grade Cultivation Technique.

If it were his White Heart's Child sister, she definitely wouldn't agree.

Gu Yan had originally come with the intention of causing a scene, and at this moment, he felt he had done nothing wrong by speaking out!

Nangong Qin trembled upon hearing Gu Yan's words; her originally rosy complexion turned pale, and her lips also quivered slightly.

Even though she had appeared very calm from the moment she entered, seemingly indifferent to Gu Yan’s attitude.

But when she heard Gu Yan call her a “hussy,” her heart still felt as if it were being cut by a knife.

Even Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Gu Yan.

Immediately, Gu Yan felt his body tremble, as if an invisible prison had formed in the Void Realm, instantly enveloping him and causing him to show a look of pain.

“Shut up!”

“Gu Yan, you heartless ingrate!”

Before Chu Feng could speak, the Elders of Chongxuan Pavilion could no longer hold back.

Elder Jiang was the first to step forward, his beard trembling with anger, and he pointed at Gu Yan, scolding him furiously:

“When you were gravely injured and on the verge of death from the Ice Venerable’s Taiyi Ice Poison, who ventured deep into the forbidden zone, the Southern Bright Fire Domain, to find a wisp of Primordial Heaven Fire to save your life?”

“When you provoked the Void Realm Sword Sect, the Pavilion Revered Master fought the Void Realm Sword King, injuring her Foundation and cutting off her chance to become a Saint, all to settle your grievances, do you remember?”

“And when you were Cultivating the secret technique Profound Nether Body, who, despite all opposition, ceded a Heaven-Grade Secret Realm of Chongxuan Pavilion to the Myriad Law Natural Pavilion to exchange for a ten-thousand-year-old Profound Nether Essence for you??”

“I initially thought you were just unable to accept reality because you failed the Saint trial and had feelings for the Pavilion Revered Master, leading you to act impulsively and make a big mistake.”

“But now it seems there was indeed a reason why Chu Saint didn’t favor you.”

“You are nothing but an ungrateful ingrate!”

“The Pavilion Revered Master treated you like her own child, yet your mind is as narrow as a needle’s eye; if it weren't for Chu Saint, who knows how Chongxuan Pavilion would have fallen if it had ended up in your hands!”

Elder Jiang, as the Grand Elder of Chongxuan Pavilion.

Was well aware of the affairs within the Pavilion, and naturally knew how good Nangong Qin had been to Gu Yan back then!

For Gu Yan's sake, he had even argued with Nangong Qin several times.

Nangong Qin had sacrificed too much for Gu Yan!

Yet now, on Nangong Qin's joyous day, Gu Yan not only came to cause trouble but even called Nangong Qin a hussy!

How could you say such a thing!

He's truly a bastard!

Under Elder Jiang's furious reprimand, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.

“There’s such a thing??”

The powerhouses from transcendent major forces who came to attend the ceremony today all showed surprise upon hearing Elder Jiang's words.

A Great Expert from the Star Plucking Tower showed a look of recollection in his eyes: “Come to think of it, it seems there was such a thing.”

“Last year, Nangong Pavilion Master indeed had a battle with the Void Realm Sword King. Nangong Pavilion Master won a narrow victory in that battle, causing the Void Realm Sword King to go into seclusion for a thousand years and the Void Realm Sword Sect to no longer emerge. I never expected that the root cause of that battle between Kings was helping Gu Yan.”

Another King from the Myriad Law Natural Pavilion immediately said: “I also remember it. Chongxuan Pavilion exchanged a Heaven-Grade Secret Realm for a ten-thousand-year Profound Nether Essence. That thing is extremely rare; we only have one copy in our Pavilion, and I hesitated for a long time before giving it. Now it seems it would have been better to feed it to a dog. Chongxuan Pavilion’s kind intention was truly wasted.”

The eyewitness accounts of several powerhouses further substantiated Elder Jiang's statement.

Streams of gazes, like sharp thorns, pierced into Gu Yan's body.

Their eyes were filled with disdain and disgust.

If before, some people could still understand Gu Yan's actions.

Then now, no one looked up to Gu Yan anymore.

Everyone present was a big shot from a transcendent force, and what they hated most was an ungrateful ingrate like Gu Yan.

You can hate Chongxuan Pavilion, hate Chu Saint.

But why would you be so disrespectful to Nangong Qin, a Revered Master who recognized your talent and poured her heart and soul into you?

Not to mention these powerhouses present.

Even the Azure Ox Great Saint, far away in the Wasteland Small World, frowned immediately upon hearing this: “Is this kid such a scumbag? He’s truly an ungrateful wolf cub.”

Bai Xin'er, currently watching the Azure Sky Mirror, also had a face like cold ice and did not respond.

She knew Gu Yan wasn't a good person, but she hadn't expected him to be so utterly trashy.

Not to mention her, even the white fluorescent light within her body, at this moment, transmitted a somewhat dim and puzzled voice: “Gu Yan, he, why is he like this? It’s truly too much.”

[Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Gu Yan’s actions have angered the public, causing his Luck to decrease, and his Destiny Value to drop by five thousand points. You have obtained a heavenly fate treasure chest * 1.]

[Due to Nangong Qin completely giving up on the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, the completion of the hidden quest 'Conquer Nangong Qin' has increased by 50%. Current completion is 270%. Do you wish to settle the reward?]

The System notifications came one after another.

Chu Feng looked at Gu Yan, whose face was pale in the sky and whose Destiny Value had dwindled to only five thousand points.

He hadn't expected that before he even made a move, someone would speak for him.

He also hadn't expected that, as the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, he would be so excessive.

According to Elder Jiang's words.

Nangong Qin had been extraordinarily good to him; this was like biting the hand that fed him!

Even he couldn't stand it anymore and sarcastically said, “Gu Yan, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Gu Yan gritted his teeth, his mind in turmoil after Elder Jiang's words.

He hadn't expected that Nangong Qin would sacrifice so much for him!

He had always thought that Nangong Qin, as the Pavilion Revered Master of Chongxuan Pavilion, had merely offered him casual favors!

He never imagined there would be so much hidden truth!

Looking at Nangong Qin below, her appearance made her seem pitiful and heartbreaking due to her sadness.

He admitted that at this moment, he felt a bit of regret and annoyance.

But hearing the incessant curses in his ears and his mortal enemy's mockery, he stubbornly retorted: “I, I have a clear conscience!”

After speaking, he wanted to turn and leave!

He admitted he was broken!

He didn't want to stay here for another second, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into!

But unfortunately, Gu Yan was already firmly imprisoned and could not take a single step out.

“Since you’ve come, don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

“After all, everyone hasn’t seen your performance yet.”

Chu Feng’s faint voice echoed in Gu Yan’s ears.

Performance?

What performance?

Everyone present looked at each other, wondering if there was something about Gu Yan they didn't know.
