64: Chapter 64 With a resolute will, Min Qingrou is about to leave the family.

"Qingge..."

Although Sect Master Min Qingrou was currently in the Min Family, she was prepared to break free from their shackles and ill intentions at any moment.

All this time, although they hadn't contacted each other, she had never forgotten to gather news about Gu Qingge.

When she learned that Gu Qingge had made it onto the golden list, her joy was written all over her face.

But on second thought, worry arose in her heart.

Having lived on the Lingzhou Continent for so long, she naturally understood the general deeper meaning behind the Tianji Pavilion's publication of the golden list.

What they plotted for was not wealth, power, or fame, but the illusory Luck.

And because of this, it made people feel an inexplicable dread.

Having traveled across various continents, Sect Master Min Qingrou had also learned a Qi-observing technique.

This technique could peer into a person's Luck.

For example, her current Family, the Min Family.

On the surface, its Luck appeared grand and prosperous, possessing the nobility and pressure of a super aristocratic Family in the Baihuang Prefecture, but in reality, it faintly carried a trace of blood-red, demonic light.

This was an omen of extreme catastrophe!

To put it bluntly, the danger of extermination was right before their eyes.

However, beneath the singing, dancing, and decadent lifestyle, the fact that they hadn't been completely enveloped and devoured by the blood-red light was merely a superficial peace.

The people of the Min Family still went their own way, searching for those on the Baihuang Prefecture continent who possessed a special Physique. If they had no background or status, they would be directly captured and stripped of their special traits.

Their hands had even reached into several other neighboring provinces.

Little did they know that the prelude to a violent storm had been brewing for a long time.

"How could Mother allow herself to be controlled by others?"

"Right, baby?"

Sect Master Min Qingrou gently caressed her increasingly prominent lower abdomen, a look of maternal love and tenderness shining in her beautiful eyes.

Just as Sect Master Min Qingrou was still planning how to map out her future journey, a figure shattered the warm and beautiful atmosphere, barging directly into her courtyard.

Although Wu Qingzhu's anger had not yet subsided after being subjected to Sect Master Min Qingrou's cold mockery and sarcasm last time,

this was a matter concerning the major marriage alliance between the Min and Qian Families, and it was even more related to the division of power and beneficial resources in their hands.

Therefore, when Wu Qingzhu came this time, she still wore a smile, acting as a lobbyist.

"Why struggle so hard? Even if you give him plenty of time, what kind of waves can he possibly make?" Wu Qingzhu extended her long, manicured nails, gently tracing the ripples in the wind.

Seeing that Sect Master Min Qingrou was not particularly moved, she immediately speculated, "Unless, my dear daughter, you used some special means to help him conceal his extraordinary nature."

"Let me guess, what exactly are you trying to hide?"

"A Dao Body? Highly unlikely. That's something that only exists in legends."

"If it were a Sacred Body, you two would probably have fled long ago. Moreover, with your consent, a Sacred Body could purify the Family's location tracking at the time through Dual Cultivation."

"As for a King Body or a Spirit Body, even if Cultivated to the Major Achievement Peak, their strength still wouldn't bridge the deep chasm between them and a super aristocratic Family."

"Therefore, the most likely one is an Imperial Physique."

"Am I right, daughter?!" Wu Qingzhu's beautiful eyes blinked, as if trying to see right through Sect Master Min Qingrou's heart.

However, Sect Master Min Qingrou did not give her the answer she was seeking.

"Think whatever you want."

"For the sake of his life, are you really unwilling to make a temporary compromise?" Wu Qingzhu coaxed and guided.

The implication was that if Sect Master Min Qingrou did not agree to their decision, Gu Qingge would surely die an extremely miserable death.

He might even find himself unable to live, yet unable to die.

"No. I simply feel that if I agreed, let alone whether he would forgive me, I wouldn't even be able to forgive myself," Sect Master Min Qingrou refused without the slightest sign of yielding.

"What, is his charm really that great? Making you so reluctant to let go, so utterly distracted?" Wu Qingzhu asked.

As if her thoughts were triggered by Wu Qingzhu's words, Sect Master Min Qingrou instantly recalled Gu Qingge's charming yet slightly nonchalant beauty.

Even if it was like a moth to a flame, she could not restrain herself.

"Then how about I personally destroy him?"

Seeing Sect Master Min Qingrou's dazed expression yet steadfast adherence to her heart, Wu Qingzhu threatened her verbally.

"Do as you wish." Sect Master Min Qingrou ignored Wu Qingzhu's madness.

Wu Qingzhu clenched her jade fists, her beautiful eyes flashing with waves of towering rage. "You really are completely impervious to reason."

But the arrow had already left the bow; how could it be changed?

As for this marriage, she had to marry whether she wanted to or not.

This time, she had come to deliver an ultimatum.

Tomorrow, Sect Master Min Qingrou would be packed up and sent to the Qian Family to facilitate the marriage alliance between the two families.

Even her old flame from Lingzhou would be dealt with by people specifically sent by the Family.

Only experts or forces with even greater strength could make the Min Family and the Wu Family back down.

Clearly, Gu Qingge did not possess the power to determine the ultimate state of affairs at this moment.

And neither did Sect Master Min Qingrou.

So, she could only obediently be toyed with in the palms of their hands.

At the thought of this, Wu Qingzhu's mood improved significantly, and the anger accumulated in her heart instantly dissipated.

"Looking at their movements, they seem a bit impatient. Hehe!"

"Do they really think I am fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will?"

"What a joke!"

At this moment, she was heroic and beautiful, her appearance peerless.

It was as if that mature, imperial-sister Sect Master who held the reins of the Heavenly Demon Sect and controlled the power of life and death had returned in an instant.

"Since I could escape the Family once, it means the second time won't be that difficult."

Following that, Sect Master Min Qingrou sensed the Cultivator Realm Ranks around the courtyard where she resided.

"They certainly think highly of me, stationing one Body Integration Stage and five Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators to guard me closely."

"But do they really think they can trap me?"

Sect Master Min Qingrou closed her eyes and held her breath, adjusting her state to its Peak.

Her cultivation was previously at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, but after being suppressed and Sealed by Sect Master Tang Xuan, she was rescued by Gu Qingge.

Afterward, she completed Dual Cultivation with him. With the help of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body's power and using the complementary power-absorbing nature of the Three Thousand Illusory Demon Body, she successfully made a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage by the time she returned to the Min Family.

Later, she refined the xuanming purple qi gifted by Gu Qingge, which could enhance her talent and Aptitude, causing her cultivation speed to progress by leaps and bounds.

Just two days ago, she made a direct Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Looking at the current situation, although the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage was nothing compared to the Soul Transformation Stage or Body Integration Stage,

however...

she still held a sacred weapon, the sea-quaking heaven-nirvana seal, and a void escape talisman gifted by Gu Qingge.

That was the key to determining whether her escape from the Min Family would succeed.

At this thought, Sect Master Min Qingrou couldn't help but feel Gu Qingge's thorough consideration and his wholehearted concern for her.

Could even someone as powerful as their Min Family Grand Elder withstand the power of a Saint Weapon?

Especially since she felt that the grade and power of this Saint Weapon far exceeded the Saint Weapon held by the Min Family Grand Elder.

The two were probably not even on the same level.

After having this thought, Sect Master Min Qingrou estimated in her heart that it was highly unlikely.

The pressure of the Saint Realm, even if the user was a low-cultivation Cultivator like Sect Master Min Qingrou, was not something an ordinary mighty Cultivator could withstand.

For a moment, Sect Master Min Qingrou even felt a heroic ambition: "Junior Qingrou requests the Grand Elder to go to his death!"

However, based on rational considerations, this heroic ambition came quickly and went just as fast.

After all, even if she had a slight chance of successfully slaying the Grand Elder, she would ultimately end up dying along with him.

A Saint Weapon could help her kill enemies, but it did not mean it could protect her and keep her safe during a mighty Cultivator's desperate struggle.
