Chapter 29: The Young Emperor of Qingqiu Throws Herself into His Arms; Gu Shengge Is Dumbfounded

“Sister is joking. This Heavenly Mending Spiritual Palace is open for business, welcoming guests from all directions. Even if you are the Butian Divine Maiden, there’s no way you would turn guests away, right?”

Facing the Butian Divine Maiden’s verbal dismissal, Jun Mengqing raised her hand to lightly cover her small mouth, smiling as she spoke.

She didn’t believe Xi Yao would do something so unfitting of her status in front of so many people.

This Butian Divine Maiden cherished her Face the most.

Upon hearing this, although Xi Yao didn’t want Jun Mengqing to stay, she couldn’t act out and forcefully expel her due to Face.

Seeing that simple verbal dismissal couldn't make the thick-skinned Jun Mengqing leave, Xi Yao also didn’t want this vixen to delay the Dao discussion gathering, so she immediately changed her approach.

“Jietian Saintess, since you also want to participate in this Dao discussion, I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as one person present is willing to speak for you and let you participate, then you may. I won’t say another word.”

This seemingly gave Jun Mengqing a chance, but it was actually giving everyone present a choice to take a side.

The Butian Pavilion and the Jietian Sect are the only two remaining 100,000-year-old great sects in Qiongsang. With a long history, they are powerful forces that have produced Ascenders. Even looking across the Azure Expanse Great World, they are top-tier great sects with unfathomable foundations.

Even the Qiankun Taoist Sect is often inferior compared to these two great sects.

Legend has it that the founders of these two great sects were a pair of twin brothers who, due to conflicting ideologies, went their separate ways and even became Dao enemies because of the subsequent development of their great sects.

The Butian Pavilion advocates conforming to the Heavenly Dao, believing that people should follow the Heavenly Dao. If the heavens and earth Face calamity, they should sacrifice themselves to respond to the tribulation, mend the heavens, carry the Dao, and save all beings from suffering.

The Jietian Sect, on the other hand, advocates Heaven-Defying actions. The Heavenly Dao is not to be feared. If heaven brings disaster, one should save oneself, Face the difficulties head-on, and seize that glimmer of hope amidst countless tribulations to protect all beings in the heavens and earth.

These two seemingly opposite great doctrines actually had little fundamental difference.

It was only with 100,000 years of development and evolution that, although the doctrines remained unchanged, people’s hearts changed, and the interpretations of their meanings also changed.

Every generation of Butian Pavilion Divine Maidens and Saints, and Jietian Sect Saintesses and Saints, were in an unending conflict.

Everyone present fell silent upon hearing this.

Although they were Prodigies, they were only Prodigies. While their backing forces were powerful, they were still far inferior compared to the Butian Pavilion.

There was no need to offend the Butian Pavilion for the Jietian Sect, which was already at odds with their respective forces.

Gu Shengge frowned slightly. How could he not understand what the Butian Divine Maiden meant? She wanted to force them to take sides.

But he had a flaw: he had poor teeth and couldn’t chew hard, only soft.

And what he was best at was not killing enemies beyond his cultivation realm, but rather not playing by the rules.

Just as Xi Yao thought no one would speak up for Jun Mengqing and was about to mock her, Gu Shengge spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Xi Yao, since Fellow Daoist Jun is also here to discuss the Dao, then let her stay. I would like to hear her expound on the Jietian Sect’s doctrine to verify my own Dao.”

He parted his thin lips, and his indifferent voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

The other Prodigies present were all stunned. They looked at Gu Shengge, somewhat surprised, yet also finding it quite normal.

They dared not offend the Butian Pavilion, but Gu Shengge had the capital to do so.

The Butian Divine Maiden’s eyes narrowed, and a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes. She never expected the Qiankun Daozi to speak for Jun Mengqing.

According to Xi Yao’s understanding, the Qiankun Taoist Sect had no connection with the Jietian Sect, and Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing shouldn't even know each other.

Why would he stand up for that vixen?

Could it be that he was smitten with her!

This thought popped into the Butian Divine Maiden’s mind, but she quickly dismissed it, thinking it impossible.

Even if Jun Mengqing, that vixen, possessed the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline and was incomparably enchanting, even a Nascent Divinity Celestial Being might not be able to resist her.

But the Qiankun Daozi, as the top of the Human Prodigy List, would definitely not be enchanted by her. There must be other reasons!

Could it be that her forcing them to take sides angered him!

Thinking of this, Xi Yao felt a hint of regret.

Originally, today’s Dao discussion was meant to win over the Qiankun Daozi, but unexpectedly, she had overdone it and made things difficult for herself!

Jun Mengqing’s foxy eyes instantly lit up when she heard Gu Shengge speak for her, she couldn’t be happier.

Her eyes, full of spring water and enchanting waves, fell upon that white-robed figure, almost trailing threads of longing.

Hmph! Vixen!

Xi Yao snorted coldly in her heart, seeing Jun Mengqing staring intently at Gu Shengge.

It was all this vixen’s fault! She wasn't even invited, why did she come! And she even left a bad impression of herself in the Qiankun Daozi’s heart.

Suppressing the displeasure in her heart, Xi Yao smiled slightly and said, “Since the Qiankun Daozi has spoken, Xi Yao is willing to give you this Face. Come, give the Jietian Saintess a seat.”

“No need, I have a place to sit.” Hearing this, Jun Mengqing decisively rejected Xi Yao.

Give her a seat? I’m not your subordinate, only a ghost would want you to give me a seat.

Immediately, Jun Mengqing strode with her voluptuous, beautiful legs, bare feet treading on the white jade floor, golden bells jingling at her ankles, swaying her fluffy fox tail, and walked to Gu Shengge’s front.

Hmm?

Seeing the Jietian Saintess walk towards him, Gu Shengge felt a bit confused.

What does this woman want to do?

Holy cow! Is she playing this wild!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jun Mengqing actually sat directly on Gu Shengge, her long, beautiful legs draped over his, like a small fox, her upper body curled up in his arms, her enchanting Face even showing a hint of nostalgia and satisfaction.

This action stunned not only everyone present but also Gu Shengge himself.

The Wine Sword Immortal, seeing Jun Mengqing so proactive, immediately felt regret. If he had known this Jietian Saintess was so open, he would have spoken up too.

What a waste, benefiting that guy named Gu for nothing! So regrettable!

However, though a beauty is good, she is not as good as the fine wine in his hand. Why hasn’t the banquet started yet? He was still waiting to drink!

The Wine Sword Immortal picked up his wine gourd and took a few sips, but his eyes never left the Jietian Saintess for a moment.

Gu Shengge looked at Jun Mengqing, who seemed somewhat reliant on him in his arms, and for a moment, he was a bit dumbfounded.

No, what’s going on! I just said a few words, and you’re throwing yourself into my arms? Isn’t this a bit too much!

Zhigui, beside him, gnashed her Dragon teeth in anger. Damn it! Where did this vixen come from, hooking up with her master right away!

On the other hand, Jun Mengqing paid no attention to the astonished gazes of those around her. Her delicate nose twitched, sniffing the Qi emanating from Gu Shengge, like a mother cat smelling catnip, almost getting addicted.

“Hmm~ It’s still the familiar scent. My benefactor, I finally see you again…”

Gu Shengge looked confused, hearing Jun Mengqing’s murmur.

Benefactor? Did he save her before?

The Butian Divine Maiden looked at Jun Mengqing, who had actively thrown herself into his arms, her beautiful Face beneath the veil covered in frost.

This shameless vixen! How could she be so brazen! Don’t think you can win over the Qiankun Daozi this way, dream on!

As long as I, the Divine Maiden, am here, the Qiankun Daozi will never lean towards your Jietian Sect!

Xi Yao lightly bit her pearly teeth, and coldly rebuked the Jietian Saintess: “Jun Mengqing, put away your foxy seductive tricks. How can the Qiankun Daozi be defiled by you? If you still want to stay and discuss the Dao, then get down!”

Unexpectedly, Jun Mengqing didn’t even raise her head, nor did she give Xi Yao any Face.

“You mind your own business. I just like staying in my benefactor’s arms. If you’re so capable, pull me down.”
