67: Come here and sit down!

Before Gu Yuan could react, Nether Moon gave him a gentle push and left his embrace.

Although that embrace was something Nether Moon had always sought and found hard to leave.

But... humph, sooner or later, she would make Gu Yuan beg for her forgiveness!

"As expected of Young Sect Master Gu, your Aura alone is enough to fascinate this little lady. About what the Young Sect Master whispered in my ear just now, wanting a tryst tonight... I accept~"

Nether Moon let out a charming laugh, and her words reached the ears of everyone present.

Gu Yuan could feel that, almost instantly, the eyes of everyone in the audience were fixed on him.

Wait, I did want to attract everyone's attention today.

But... damn it, not this kind of attention!

Gu Yuan felt the envy and jealousy from the male Cultivators present.

As for the female Cultivators... aside from his own Sect's little Junior Sister's admiring gaze.

Gu Yuan also felt several gazes that could kill.

Well, according to his uncertain guesses, these gazes came from Master Baby, Luoying, Xi Nian, the Cult Leader, and that Little Noodle... Wait!?

No, why are you, Little Noodle, looking at me with that kind of expression too?

Why are you everywhere!

Oh, he seemed to have seen Sister Xia just now as well.

Only, the expression on her face was even more peculiar, making it hard for Gu Yuan to decipher.

After saying those words, Nether Moon left, leaving only an awkward Gu Yuan on the stage.

"Cough, um... is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? This, this Young Sect Master will accompany you to the end!"

Gu Yuan said after a light cough.

It's just that, after what just happened.

Neither his tone of voice nor his Aura was as high-spirited as when he was showing off moments ago.

The scene remained pin-drop silent; many people had yet to recover from the shocking scene.

Actually, Nether Moon's little stunt had invisibly built up momentum for Gu Yuan.

It's just that this momentum... well... was a bit strange.

Oh ho... Xia Gehuang blinked, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Are young people nowadays so playful?

She had originally thought that Demon Venerable would want to beat Gu Yuan up on stage to vent her anger.

But she didn't expect the other party to use such a method... interesting, truly interesting.

Looking at the annoyed expressions of several different women below the stage, Xia Gehuang couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Little Fellow, you have to take responsibility for the women you provoke yourself~

Whether it's now, or... tsk tsk~

"Master Baby, let me explain, I didn't say that at all! That was all Nether Moon's nonsense. Yes, That Woman is Nether Moon. Hey, Master Baby, listen to me~"

Gu Yuan no longer knew how the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly finally ended.

Anyway, the assembly was originally intended to announce his status as the Young Sect Master.

And also to bring Gu Yuan into the view of the entire Continent.

For Gu Yuan, coaxing Master Baby was the most crucial thing right now!

Gu Yuan rubbed his nose, looking at the tightly closed door, and sighed helplessly.

It had to be said, Mingyue's move was truly ruthless.

When the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly ended just now, he received a roll of the eyes and a waist-twist from Xi Nian... and a verbal—well, basically a biting—attack from Chi Lin... plus the threat of Luoying's cold Sword Qi; Gu Yuan felt a chill on his neck.

Finally, there was Little Noodle's headbutt attack. Yes, this Little Noodle gave him a headbutt as soon as she saw him, then angrily pulled Xi Nian away.

Gu Yuan was also extremely confused by this. Why are you, Little Noodle, joining in the mess?

And then there was Master Baby, who was now refusing to see him.

Sigh, for a moment, Gu Yuan felt as if life was no longer worth living.

Forget it, forget it, Master Baby is still angry right now.

It would be inappropriate if he forced his way in now.

Hmm... he'd wait until the night passed.

That way, Master Baby's anger would have mostly dissipated by then.

Then he would go and coax her; that would be twice the result with half the effort!

Actually, there was one more major point.

And that was Mingyue saying she wanted to meet tonight.

Gu Yuan didn't doubt for a second that if he didn't go to see her tonight, she might do anything.

If she saw him coaxing Master Baby at that time... hiss... the scene would be too much; Gu Yuan didn't dare to imagine it.

Therefore, Gu Yuan decided to honestly meet with Mingyue tonight.

And also to confirm if she had already recognized him.

If that were the case, he really couldn't let her say it out loud.

Otherwise, he would be finished on the spot.

Gu Yuan shook his head and returned to his small courtyard.

But when he opened the door, he saw Nether Moon sitting in the room waiting for him.

Uh... Gu Yuan blinked. Wait, that was fast... "What, you don't even dare to enter your own room? Humph, come over here and sit down!"

Nether Moon looked up at Gu Yuan and said after a cold snort.

At this moment, Gu Yuan seemed to see her as she was when they first met.

Hmm... almost instantly, Gu Yuan obediently sat down.

There was no choice; at this moment, Nether Moon's Aura and everything else were too overwhelming.

"Heh... Gu Yuan, now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say? Given everything in the past, I can give you a chance to explain."

Nether Moon's long legs were crossed, and her gaze toward Gu Yuan held a bit more playfulness and coldness.

Uh... "everything in the past"?

Gu Yuan spread his hands helplessly and then sighed.

"I have nothing more to say, please hur— cough, no, um... there are reasons for all of this, yes, that's it!"

Gu Yuan almost followed up on Nether Moon's "everything in the past" meme.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, and luckily, Nether Moon didn't know the meme.

"Reasons... heh, quite the 'reason'. Then tell me, what exactly is the reason that makes you not dare to recognize... mmph...!"

Before Nether Moon could finish, Gu Yuan covered her small mouth.

Feeling Gu Yuan's large hand on her lips, the originally aloof Nether Moon's pretty face instantly reddened.

What... what does he want to do!?

Could it be... bah!

I, I haven't forgiven him yet. How, how can he... "Um... anyway, there really is a reason, Mingyue. It can't be said... um... do you understand?"

Gu Yuan felt drenched in cold sweat.

Man, it's a good thing I reacted quickly.

Otherwise, if Mingyue were to say that she recognized him... he would probably have been obliterated by the System by now.
