191: Chapter 189: Giving Magical Weapons to Women and Driving Up Their Prices

One must know that their Saint, Lin Chen, was a man who could walk through a garden of flowers without a single petal sticking to him.

Gu Shengge, having nothing to do, wandered around the Jietian Sect, treating it as an opportunity for Lin Chen to confront him; if he dared to make a move, Gu Shengge would deal with him directly.

Along the way, many Cultivators recognized him, after all, the commotion was quite significant when he returned with the Saintess Jun Mengqing that day.

Gu Shengge walked and stopped, and many busybodies came up to ask questions.

“Fellow Daoist, are you truly the Dao Companion of our Saintess?” a young Cultivator asked.

Gu Shengge, with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly: “More or less!”

The surrounding Cultivators immediately gasped in surprise; such an ambiguous answer now was no different from a confirmation.

Seeing that Gu Shengge was so easy to talk to, those Cultivators enthusiastically started chatting, of course, mainly wanting to inquire about Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing’s affairs.

Gu Shengge half-truthfully fabricated stories about how Jun Mengqing had relentlessly pursued him, and how he had repeatedly rejected her.

Anyway, wasn't Jun Mengqing trying to use her relationship with him to block Lin Chen's pursuit of her? So, what he was doing now perfectly aligned with her plan.

The surrounding Disciples of the Jietian Sect were also half-believing, half-doubting, but they did not think anyone would dare to spread rumors using their Saintess’s reputation, so they trusted Gu Shengge’s words more.

Gu Shengge also brought up Lin Chen at an opportune moment, and as soon as Lin Chen was mentioned, the male Cultivators around him began to talk endlessly.

They lamented how many Senior Sisters, Junior Sisters, and even Peak Masters and Elders in the Sect had fallen victim to him.

They were both jealous and envious of this Saint, but of course, the jealousy far outweighed the envy.

Gu Shengge heard a lot of resentment in their words and asked for the reason.

The young Cultivator smiled bitterly and whispered to Gu Shengge, “Fellow Daoist, you do not know, the Saint has many Magic Treasures and Medicinal Pills in his possession, and when he pursues female Cultivators, he gives gifts without regard for cost, so much so that throughout the Jietian Sect, now if you want to form a Dao Companion relationship with someone, without three or four Magic Treasures, who would pay attention to you!”

A scrawny young man next to him angrily retorted, “Exactly! Isn’t this just driving up prices! How are we supposed to live?”

“Hey, Fellow Daoist, do not speak so crudely, remember you are also a Disciple of the immortals!” a Cultivator next to him laughed and scolded.

Gu Shengge also smiled and nodded in agreement, that brat had a System, and whatever he gave to female Cultivators was a tenfold rebate, so he would never lose out, and naturally, he would not feel any heartache.

Their atmosphere, which had been lively, suddenly fell silent, and they looked at a nearby spot with solemn expressions.

There, the furious Intercepting Heaven Sect Holy Son Lin Chen was staring at them with a gloomy expression, clearly having heard their conversation.

Everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted; letting the Saint know that they had been badmouthing him was like being added to the King of Hell’s ledger of life and death!

Gu Shengge also followed their gaze to meet the Intercepting Heaven Sect Holy Son, a playful look in his eyes: “Oh! Isn’t that Lord Saint! Out for a stroll too? Or are you preparing to send resources to a certain Fairy?”

Lin Chen, already seething with anger, was provoked by Gu Shengge, and spiritual light surged around him, about to make a move. At this moment, his System quickly spoke to stop him.

“Host, something is not right! Something is truly not right!”

Lin Chen, with anger burning around him, heard the System’s exclamation and quickly stopped his actions.

“What? Why are you stopping me?” he asked the System with his Divine Thought.

The System said in a deep voice: “Host, this person seems to also have the aura of a System on him!”

“Hmph!” Lin Chen said disdainfully, “Has a System? So what? At the same Realm, what does this Saint fear!”

The System quickly said, “No, Host, he seems to have the Death Qi of a System on him, a special aura left after a System has been refined, an aura that serves as a warning to other Systems!”

“What do you mean? He killed a System and left a special aura?” Lin Chen exclaimed in his Sea of Consciousness.

In his understanding, a System should be omnipotent, at least at their level, at the Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Void Refining stages, how could one possibly kill a System?

His gaze was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, “You mean, is it possible that during a System’s weak period, it was accidentally refined by him?”

The System replied, “That possibility is not entirely ruled out, but it is not advisable for the Host to act now, otherwise, it might bring disaster.”

Lin Chen was about to make a move, but now he was warned by the System not to, and the expression on his Face was incredibly complex. His originally handsome Face twisted, becoming very ferocious:

“Gu Shengge!”

The surrounding air pressure was terrifyingly low, making the Cultivators nearby feel suffocated.

All the Cultivators felt fear in their hearts, but in this tense atmosphere, they did not see the Saint Lin Chen make any further moves, which left them at a loss as to what to do.

At this moment, Gu Shengge walked past them, like a refreshing breeze, cool and soothing, and the oppressive force that had almost made them unable to stand instantly dissipated, their bodies suddenly felt lighter, and they all retreated.

When Lin Chen saw Gu Shengge take a step forward, his heart sank, and he subconsciously retreated a few steps.

The System’s warning just now indeed made him feel fear, but after retreating a few steps, he probably felt that he could not save Face, and so he stiffened his neck and said, “Gu Shengge! The Jietian Sect forbids private duels, this Saint will not contend with you today!”

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, not looking back once.

Gu Shengge also did not pursue him. Leaving aside whether the prohibition of private duels was true or not, even if it was false, he still held the title of Intercepting Heaven Sect Holy Son. If he were to kill him without a sufficient reason, Gu Shengge would definitely not be able to leave this ancient Sect alive.

The Disciples of the Jietian Sect around him were astonished to see that Gu Shengge had actually scared off the Saint Lin Chen, and they continuously praised Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge had no habit of feigning politeness, and he extricated himself from the flattery of the crowd, returning to the Flowing Cloud Immortal Palace.

Although Jun Mengqing had been in the Flowing Cloud Immortal Palace the whole time, she had also been keeping an eye on Gu Shengge’s movements, and when she saw Gu Shengge nearly clash with Lin Chen, she could not help but hold her breath.

Although their return this time was to deal with Lin Chen, the System owner, if they were to overtly kill Lin Chen like that, even as the Jietian Sect Saintess, she would have no way to explain it to the Sect.

Fortunately, that fellow Lin Chen chickened out first and did not dare to make a move against Gu Shengge, otherwise, she would not know how to resolve the situation.

She saw Gu Shengge return and quickly went to meet him: “Benefactor, you were too impulsive just now, you scared me to death!”

Gu Shengge let her hold his arm and said indifferently, “What are you worried about? Wouldn’t it be even better if he made the first move? We would also make a move, and then agree to a death match on the life-and-death arena.”

Gu Shengge said, then asked doubtfully, “By the way, does your Jietian Sect have a life-and-death arena?”

Jun Mengqing leaned against Gu Shengge, soft and boneless, and sighed, “No, we will have to find other opportunities.”
