Chapter 13: Heartless and Desireless, Supreme Forgotten Love – Tantai Qingxuan!

The Qiankun Heaven Imprisoning Hand, which was powerful enough to suppress and kill a Nascent Soul True Lord, was swept away by the newcomer’s horsetail whisk and dissipated into nothingness.

As the plain spiritual light receded, the voluptuous figure revealed her true appearance: it was none other than Qingxuan True Lord, Tantai Qingxuan.

Tantai Qingxuan wore a married woman's bun, with a wooden hairpin in her hair and a few strands falling beside her cheeks. A cinnabar mark adorned her brow. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, her complexion as fair as snow.

Her pair of long, narrow Phoenix eyes appeared alluring but revealed indifference, as if nothing in the world could sway her, heartless and desireless.

A plain Daoist robe enveloped her extremely voluptuous and rounded body. Even though the robe was loose, one could still discern the towering peaks of her chest, a grandeur beyond imagination, even giving the illusion of being unable to bear the weight.

The reason Tantai Qingxuan wore a married woman's bun was that she had been married before entering the Dao. However, before the wedding night, her husband's entire family was slaughtered by bandits.

Tantai Qingxuan was then rescued by the Dao Sect Old Ancestor who arrived to help. Due to her outstanding talent and being a Supreme Dao Body, she was accepted into the Qiankun Taoist Sect.

It is worth mentioning that the Dao Sect Old Ancestor who saved her was the same person who brought Gu Shengge into the Dao Sect.

After entering the Dao, Tantai Qingxuan displayed astonishing cultivation speed. At sixteen, she practiced Qi. She achieved Foundation Establishment in a hundred days, reportedly using the Supreme Yin Profound Female as her Dao base. Four years later, she formed a High-Grade Golden Core, and ten years later, she achieved Nascent Soul. Now, not yet a hundred years old, she is at Nascent Soul Great Perfection and is expected to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation before she turns one hundred.

Before Gu Shengge entered the Dao Sect, she was the Dao Sect's number one Prodigy.

With a light flick, the white horsetail whisk returned to Tantai Qingxuan's embrace. She glanced at Su Youwei and Lin Wan'er, whose fates were unknown, then looked at Gu Shengge. A hint of surprise flickered in her indifferent eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

Ye Chen was overjoyed to see his Revered Master arrive and quickly complained to Tantai Qingxuan.

“Revered Master, you must uphold justice for Senior Sister Su and Senior Sister Lin! Senior Brother Gu, without distinguishing right from wrong, severely injured them for no reason. You must punish him!”

Tantai Qingxuan heard him but paid no attention to Ye Chen.

She looked at Gu Shengge, her full lips slightly parted, her voice cold, without joy or sorrow: “Why did you attack them?”

“Your newly accepted Disciple occupied my Immortal Cave. When I moved to punish him, Su Youwei and Lin Wan'er intervened to stop me, and I incidentally injured them,” Gu Shengge said calmly.

“Is what he said true?”

Tantai Qingxuan turned to look at Ye Chen. Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head in denial while simultaneously transmitting his inner thoughts to her.

“Thankfully, Revered Master arrived, otherwise, it would have been dangerous. Senior Brother Gu is too cruel. The Senior Sisters only wanted to stop him from harming me, yet he struck them so viciously. I hope Revered Master can uphold justice for us!”

Just as Ye Chen thought Tantai Qingxuan would also favor him due to his inner thoughts, she remained completely unmoved. She merely gave him a faint glance before saying to Gu Shengge:

“Since he occupied your Immortal Cave, then let him compensate you for your losses.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face turned pale with shock, and he looked at Tantai Qingxuan in disbelief.

Why did Revered Master not side with him after hearing his inner thoughts? Was it because he hadn't transmitted enough inner thoughts?

Ye Chen immediately continued to transmit his inner thoughts to Tantai Qingxuan, but Tantai Qingxuan seemed unable to hear him, not even giving him a glance.

This caused Ye Chen to completely break down. Why were his usually unfailing inner thoughts ineffective against Tantai Qingxuan? What was going on?

He quickly inquired with the inner thought transmission System.

“Ding ~ Host, Tantai Qingxuan is naturally heartless and desireless, and she Cultivates the Supreme Forgotten Love Dao Scripture. Heart Demons cannot affect her, and nothing enters her eyes. She is without desire or pursuit, so the Gu of inner thoughts has no effect on her.”

“Then why did Tantai Qingxuan take me back to Qingxuan Peak and accept me as a Disciple after hearing my inner thoughts before?!”

Ye Chen anxiously questioned the inner thought transmission System. He had clearly used his inner thoughts to successfully influence Tantai Qingxuan before, so why was it not working now?!

“Ding ~ During the first inner thought transmission to Tantai Qingxuan, after Tantai Qingxuan ignored it, the System used a forced intervention, which is why Tantai Qingxuan accepted the Host as a Disciple.”

Ye Chen: “Then force an intervention again!”

“Ding ~ There are no more forced intervention chances. One hundred Spirit Crystals are required for recharge.”

“Damn it, you trash System, why didn't you say so earlier?!”

Ye Chen felt like he was being played to death by the System. Why didn't it tell him about Tantai Qingxuan's situation earlier? If he had known this sooner, let alone one hundred Spirit Crystals, he would have found a way to get even ten thousand Spirit Crystals!

No, he couldn't sit idly by; he had to find a way to escape!

Ye Chen's mind raced, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him. He looked at Nan Gong Qiyue and began transmitting his inner thoughts to her instead.

“Sigh ~ Revered Master is biased towards Senior Brother Gu. Today, I'm afraid I won't escape death. I just can't stop worrying about Senior Sister Qiyue. I hope my death can make Senior Sister see Senior Brother Gu's true colors and not be deceived by him again. Senior Sister, your Junior Brother is useless and cannot help you change the tragic ending in the Book of Heaven!”

Upon hearing this, Nan Gong Qiyue's heart trembled. She couldn't let Junior Brother Ye get into trouble, nor could she let Gu Shengge succeed. Wasn't it just compensation for the Immortal Cave's damage? She would pay for it!

“Junior Martial Uncle Qingxuan, Junior Brother just entered the sect not long ago and doesn't have many Spirit Stones. Junior Brother Ye and I are like old friends at first sight, so let me compensate Senior Brother Gu for his losses.”

Nan Gong Qiyue took out a Spirit Stone bag from her Storage Ring and continued: “There are one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in here. That should be enough, right?”

Gu Shengge shook his head: “Not enough. Excluding the Dao Enlightenment Tea leaves, the treasures in my Immortal Cave are worth at least three to four hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. One million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones are far from enough.”

After speaking, he looked at Ye Chen and said coldly: “Hand over those few Dao Enlightenment Tea leaves, otherwise, this True Lord will suppress and kill you right now. Even if the Punishment Elder comes to find this True Lord then, he won't be able to convict this True Lord.”

Hearing Gu Shengge's threat, Ye Chen looked at Nan Gong Qiyue again, his intention very clear.

Nan Gong Qiyue stood frozen in place; this was too much!

Three to four hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, let alone a Golden Core Cultivator like her, even a Nascent Soul True Lord might not possess that much.

Plus the Dao Enlightenment Tea leaves, those were top-grade spiritual items, worth tens of thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones per leaf.

Even if Nan Gong Qiyue went bankrupt and sold Saintess Peak, she wouldn't be able to come up with it!

Xiao Lian also quickly stepped forward and pulled her Saintess, telling her not to be foolish.

It was clearly that Ye Chen who offended Gu Daozi, so why should her Saintess help that Ye Chen? Wasn't this just completely offending Gu Daozi to death!

Damn it! Another useless woman, who can't even produce a few hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones! What a piece of trash!

Ye Chen cursed loudly in his heart, while also feeling incredibly flustered.

“It seems no one can save you now.”

Gu Shengge saw Tantai's indifference and Nan Gong's hesitation. The corners of his mouth curved into a cruel smile, and he raised his hand to grab Ye Chen.

He wanted to see what secret this fellow had hidden on him!

“Wait a moment!”

Suddenly, Nan Gong Qiyue spoke again to stop Gu Shengge. She gritted her teeth, took something out of her Storage Ring, and showed it to Gu Shengge.

“This item should be enough to offset the losses Junior Brother Ye caused you, right?!”

Gu Shengge's gaze fell on the item, and a flicker of surprise passed through his double pupils.

She actually possessed such a treasure!
