Chapter 33: The Butian Divine Maiden Who Knows How to Act, Jun Mengqing's Confession

Seeing Gu Shengge and Ye Ran at loggerheads, and the situation beginning to spiral out of control, the Butian Divine Maiden could no longer remain an onlooker.

After all, the Lingxiao Sword Sect and the Qiankun Taoist Sect were both factions she wished to win over.

Xi Yao stood up, her cherry lips slightly parted beneath her veil, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, soothing everyone's hearts. Even Ye Ran, who was consumed by anger, gradually extinguished the flames in his heart.

"Ye Daoist, Gu Daozi, please do not be angry. In Xi Yao's opinion, this debate was evenly matched."

"Ye Daoist's Dao of No Sword is refreshing, and Gu Daozi's sword is the foundation of the Dao of the Sword, which also gave Xi Yao deep insights."

"To avoid harming the harmony between the Qiankun Taoist Sect and the Lingxiao Sword Sect, how about we declare this debate a draw? What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengge retracted the pressure he was releasing. He was not an impolite person. Since Xi Yao, as the host of the debate gathering, had spoken to mediate, as an invited guest, he could give her Face.

But only this once.

Gu Shengge turned to look at the Butian Divine Maiden and said coldly, "Xi Yao Divine Maiden, I will give you this Face, but only this once. If this Horse Piss Immortal dares to provoke me again, then don't blame me for not giving you, or the Butian Pavilion, Face."

Damn it! I am the Wine Sword Immortal, not the Horse Piss Immortal!

Ye Ran wished he could draw his sword and slay Gu Shengge. He looked at the Butian Divine Maiden and said in a deep voice, "Since Xi Yao Divine Maiden has spoken, I, this Sword Immortal, will also give you Face."

With that, Ye Ran returned to his seat, but his eyes remained fixed on Gu Shengge, thinking to himself: The humiliation of today, he, the Wine Sword Immortal, has noted, and he will repay it a hundredfold in the future!

Seeing that both parties were willing to give her Face, Xi Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She summoned a maid and gave a few instructions.

Soon after, the maid brought two items and placed them in front of Gu Shengge and Ye Ran respectively.

The Butian Divine Maiden said softly, "Ye Daoist, Gu Daozi, the brilliance of your debate has given Xi Yao deep insights. I have specially prepared a small token of gratitude for both of you. I hope you will not dislike it."

Placed in front of Gu Shengge was a small piece of Taiyi Profound Gold, while Ye Ran received a jar of millennium fine wine.

It must be said that Xi Yao was indeed worthy of being the Butian Pavilion's Divine Maiden; not only were her words impeccable, but she also knew how to act.

Gu Shengge looked at the Taiyi Profound Gold. Although it was only the size of a fist, it was priceless, an excellent spiritual gold for refining a Natal Spiritual Artifact.

His eyes lowered. It seemed this Butian Divine Maiden understood him very well, even knowing his purpose for this trip perfectly clear.

Ye Ran smelled the rich aroma of the millennium fine wine, his Face showing delight. He uncorked the jar and took a big gulp.

With the Wine Sword Immortal System, he could increase his cultivation simply by drinking wine. Once he achieved Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, he would surely let Gu Shengge know how formidable he, the Wine Sword Immortal, was!

After the interlude, other Prodigies also successively took the stage to debate.

Time passed little by little. Gu Shengge went on stage and won three more rounds, obtaining a Heaven-Returning Pill.

As the debate gathering drew to a close, the Butian Divine Maiden had her maid bring a gift to each Prodigy. These were all items they needed at their current stage, which delighted the Prodigies.

Xi Yao raised her cup again and said with a smile, "Thank you again for giving Xi Yao Face and attending tonight's debate gathering. Xi Yao will raise one last toast to all of you, wishing you all a smooth Dao in the future and a successful Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension!"

"Xi Yao Divine Maiden, you are too kind!"

The Prodigies raised their cups and drank heartily. Gu Shengge took a deep look at the Butian Divine Maiden.

So skilled at winning people's hearts, this woman is not to be underestimated!

After the debate gathering ended, the Prodigies left one after another. Before leaving, Ye Ran even gave Gu Shengge a provocative look.

Although the Lingxiao Sword Sect and the Qiankun Taoist Sect had been on good terms for generations, Gu Shengge had provoked him, the Wine Sword Immortal. No matter what, he would make Gu Shengge pay a heavy price.

"Heh ~ an ant."

Gu Shengge returned a disdainful smile. A mere good-for-nothing who relied on the System to forcibly increase his cultivation; if it weren't for giving the Butian Divine Maiden Face, he could crush him with one hand.

"Benefactor, could you spare me some time? I have something to say to you."

Seeing that most people had left, Jun Mengqing leaned close to Gu Shengge's ear, her breath like orchids, her soft and enchanting voice filling his ear, carrying a hint of plea.

Gu Shengge heard this and looked at the charming and alluring Jietian Saintess.

He also wanted to know why this woman had fixated on him the moment they met, and kept calling him 'Benefactor.' He then nodded and agreed to her request.

"Xi Yao Divine Maiden, I shall also take my leave first."

Gu Shengge stood up and cupped his hands towards Xi Yao. The Butian Divine Maiden, seeing Jun Mengqing clinging to him, reminded him:

"Gu Daozi, the Jietian Sect has always been adept at heterodox teachings. Please do not easily trust others, Daozi."

Jun Mengqing's expression darkened slightly. When it came to heterodox teachings, who could surpass your Butian Pavilion, which constantly incites its disciples to embrace tribulation with their own bodies.

Gu Shengge nodded slightly, then turned and left with Zhigui. Jun Mengqing glared at Xi Yao, then quickly followed him.

After the Qiankun Daozi left, Xi Yao gently caressed a bead on her wrist, which emitted a faint warmth. She murmured:

"Is it him?"

…………

Outside the Heavenly Mending Spiritual Palace, Gu Shengge stopped and turned to look at the Jietian Saintess who was closely following him.

"Speak, what do you want to say to me?"

"Benefactor, please wait a moment."

Jun Mengqing waved her hand to set up a sound-insulating barrier, to prevent their conversation from being overheard.

Then, the Jietian Saintess bowed gracefully to Gu Shengge, a hint of grievance appearing on her charming Face. She said with a touch of sadness:

"Benefactor, have you forgotten me? I am the little fox."

"Little fox?"

Gu Shengge's past memories surfaced upon hearing this self-address. He had indeed once raised a little fox.

He remembered that when he was five years old, he encountered a hunter selling a small fox he had caught. Because its cherry-pink fur was very rare, he bought it and raised it as a pet.

After adopting the little fox, Gu Shengge liked to hold it while sleeping, and occasionally nourished it with the Qi of Creation from the jade disc of creation. Later, because of his Awakening of the Dual Pupils, he was taken to the Qiankun Taoist Sect and rarely returned home.

The last time he returned home was due to his parents' death, and he had no time for other matters, so the little fox was also forgotten by him.

Gu Shengge gazed at Jun Mengqing, his Dual Pupils scrutinizing her, and questioned, "How do you prove that you are the little fox I adopted in my childhood?"

Seeing his lingering doubts, Jun Mengqing leaned close to Gu Shengge's ear, her cherry lips parting slightly, and revealed a small secret that only Gu Shengge knew.

After speaking, a hint of shyness flashed in Jun Mengqing's eyes.

Gu Shengge's Face showed embarrassment after listening.

No, did this little fox remember that clearly!

What Jun Mengqing said was nothing else but the time when Gu Shengge adopted the little fox, he had specifically investigated to confirm whether the little fox was male or female.

This matter, besides Gu Shengge himself, was only known by the little fox, who was the party involved.

At this point, Gu Shengge finally believed Jun Mengqing's words, believing that she was the little fox he had adopted in his childhood.

He just didn't expect that after twelve years, the former little fox had transformed into the Saintess of the Jietian Sect and the Young Emperor of the Fox Clan's Qingqiu.

Gu Shengge was very curious about what had happened during this time.
