192: Chapter 190: Gu Shengge: I don’t pick up broken shoes

Gu Shengge had a faint smile on his Face: "There's no need to rush. While we want to make a move on Lin Chen, Lin Chen probably wants to make a move on us too! Just wait patiently, he will eventually reveal a flaw."

Jun Mengqing nodded slightly, seemingly having taken his words to heart.

In Lin Chen's Immortal Cave, Zhang Shuya, the Peak Master of Qingjing Peak, was lying on the bed in a seductive pose. Lin Chen, filled with pent-up anger, returned to this alluring sight and immediately began to 'educate' her.

After a session of 'education,' Zhang Shuya leaned into Lin Chen's embrace and wailed, "My darling, why were you so fierce today? I begged for mercy, but you still wouldn't let me go!"

Lin Chen's gaze was chilling as he said, "Isn't it that Gu Shengge, the one the Saintess brought back? He actually dared to openly disrespect this Saint's Face outside!"

Zhang Shuya chuckled softly, covering her mouth: "Hehehe, my darling, are you upset that he disrespected your Face, or that he snatched Jun Mengqing away?"

Lin Chen frowned deeply, his eyes flickering: "Junior Martial Uncle, what nonsense are you spouting? I am indeed fond of the Saintess, but with you here, she isn't absolutely essential."

Zhang Shuya paid no mind to his clumsy lie: "Little Chen, you don't need to worry. Since you want her, how could your Junior Martial Uncle possibly disappoint you? This time, there's a demonic evil land on Hengyue Star, and the Jietian Sect has already made arrangements for you and Saintess Jun Mengqing to lead people there separately."

"What do you mean? When the time comes, I'll go and attack them, suppressing them?"

His eyes flickered; what the System had said about Gu Shengge killing a System had been lingering in his mind, making him feel fear.

Zhang Shuya looked puzzled: "Little Chen, you seem to be feeling fear? To be timid before the battle, that's not your style!"

Lin Chen couldn't possibly tell Zhang Shuya about the System, so he just said in a deep voice, "You don't understand. That Gu Shengge has something strange about him. I can't deal with him easily; I don't want to take risks."

Zhang Shuya nodded: "So that's it. Well, I'm rather curious now. What kind of person can make you, the esteemed Intercepting Heaven Sect Holy Son, retreat three steps!"

Lin Chen said irritably, "If you go, don't come back! This Saint now gets annoyed just seeing anyone who has had contact with him!"

"Don't be angry! If I don't go and see for myself, how can I make arrangements?" Zhang Shuya said.

Seeing Lin Chen's expression still cold and gloomy, she whispered, "Besides, I've prepared a surprise for you on Hengyue Star this time! If you can lead the Saintess into that area, no matter how chaste and virtuous she is, she'll be at your mercy!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up this time: "Junior Martial Uncle, is that true?"

"Of course it's true," Zhang Shuya swore confidently.

After they finished speaking, another fierce battle ensued.

The next day, outside the Flowing Cloud Immortal Palace, Zhang Shuya arrived alone.

"Saintess, are you there?"

Her voice, imbued with cultivation, echoed throughout the entire Flowing Cloud Immortal Palace.

On Jun Mengqing's bed, Gu Shengge opened his hazy eyes, divine light accumulating in his double pupils, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Jun Mengqing quickly said, "Benefactor, don't be angry, calm down!"

Gu Shengge looked at the beautiful woman outside the Flowing Cloud Immortal Palace with disgust, his gaze icy: "This person carries Lin Chen's Qi; she definitely has an illicit affair with Lin Chen. I don't know what she's doing here so early in the morning!"

Jun Mengqing's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "Benefactor, could you be mistaken? Zhang Shuya is the Peak Master of Qingjing Peak, with considerable strength. She and her Dao Companion, Shi Zhongtian, have been a loving Dao Companion couple for many years, and their reputation for affection is still spread throughout the Jietian Sect!"

Gu Shengge didn't explain much; the contrast between appearance and reality was common, especially for some 'virtuous women' who were praised too highly. Under years of suppression, the contrast was most pronounced, and anything they did wouldn't be surprising.

The calls from outside continued. Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing emerged together, both possessing immortal grace and jade-like bones, like banished immortals. As soon as they appeared, Zhang Shuya felt her eyes light up, and couldn't help but sigh, truly they were a divine couple.

Thinking this, she suddenly remembered her Dao Companion, Shi Zhongtian. In the past, she and he were also so spirited and enviable.

It was just a pity that too much ordinary life had made them gradually lose interest in each other, instead longing for external stimulation more.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, they were probably the same! Their current love might turn into knives stabbing each other in the future. If that's the case, why even start?

A smile appeared on her Face: "You two, you truly have refined tastes!"

Gu Shengge said coldly, "We'd rather sleep a bit longer. I wonder what reason this Senior has for yapping... chattering incessantly outside the mountain gate!"

Zhang Shuya's expression changed slightly. She heard it; Gu Shengge probably meant to say 'barking' just now! She finally understood why Lin Chen was so angry; this guy was truly infuriating!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Little Friend Gu, you are just an outsider. How dare you speak so brazenly in the Jietian Sect!"

Jun Mengqing, standing nearby, immediately became displeased: "Peak Master Zhang, Gu Shengge is not an outsider. He is the only Dao Companion I, Jun Mengqing, have recognized in this life. Unless heaven and earth collapse and the Dao is annihilated, this resolve will not waver!"

This almost oath-like declaration made it impossible for Zhang Shuya to utter another word against Gu Shengge.

She said in a deep voice, "This Peak Master is not here to cause trouble. I am here to inform you that a rare treasure has appeared on Hengyue Star. The sect has arranged for you and Lin Chen to each lead a team. It would be best to seek the Opportunity or resolve the source of the strangeness on Hengyue Star. Will you go?"

Jun Mengqing was the Jietian Sect Saintess; even if the sect's high-ranking officials arranged matters for her, they still needed her consent. Moreover, she was also the Young Emperor of Qingqiu, possessing a special status.

Jun Mengqing looked at Gu Shengge in surprise. He was right; Lin Chen really couldn't hold back. This trip to Hengyue Star was probably a plan they had come up with.

Jun Mengqing was also waiting for such an Opportunity, and immediately agreed: "Since it is an arrangement by the sect, as the Saintess, I shall naturally contribute to the Holy Sect!"

Zhang Shuya then looked at Gu Shengge, smiling lightly: "Then, Little Friend Gu Shengge, will you also go?"

Jun Mengqing disliked the way Zhang Shuya looked at Gu Shengge, and frowned, saying, "Of course he's coming along. If he stays in Flowing Cloud Immortal Palace, I'm afraid he'll be coveted by thieves!"

Zhang Shuya's expression stiffened: "What's the use of coveting? It's impressive if you can steal it!"

Jun Mengqing scoffed: "Indeed, with such heroic and magnificent bearing, who wouldn't desire him? But my Shengge isn't someone who would eat just any rotten goods."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengge quickly said, "Wait a moment, just to clarify, I don't pick up discarded shoes."

Zhang Shuya's Face flushed red with anger, her teeth gritted, as she was squeezed out by the two's Yin and Yang-laced exchange.

After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "Since the Saintess has already agreed, then please, Saintess, choose some Disciples to accompany you. Farewell!"
