Meng Gujun is good at brain supplement

Having said that, Meng Gujun also noticed Liu Nian, who was following behind Ling Yueer, and his expression immediately sank.

"Liu Nian? Did you bring Yue'er here?"

"You, a mere Fifth-turn Pseudo-Immortal, dared to bring Yue'er here? Don't you know how dangerous it is here? What are your intentions?"

As he spoke, Meng Gujun's terrifying aura, belonging to an Eighth-turn Pseudo-Immortal, flickered, pressing down on Liu Nian.

As the Saintess of the Nine Clouds Sect and his only direct Disciple, Ling Yueer was essentially the future successor of the Nine Clouds Sect, and he had placed great hopes on her.

Yet, Liu Nian had, without his permission, taken Ling Yueer to what could now be called the most dangerous place in the entire Second Heaven.

This kind of behavior had already touched Meng Gujun's bottom line.

If Liu Nian hesitated now, or gave an answer that he could not accept, he would immediately act, directly causing Liu Nian to perish body and soul.

Liu Nian naturally felt this terrifying pressure, his heart sinking, and he quickly spoke.

"Sect Master, please do not misunderstand. This old man absolutely has no intention of harming the Saintess. On the contrary, it is to work with the Saintess to find a powerful ally for the Sect Master and the Nine Clouds Sect, so that the Nine Clouds Sect can survive this great catastrophe."

Meng Gujun frowned. Although he had not fully believed Liu Nian's words, he still released the pressure and turned to look at Ling Yueer.

"What exactly is going on, Yue'er? You tell me."

Ling Yueer understood her Master so well and naturally felt Meng Gujun's killing intent just now, causing her pretty face to turn pale.

"Master, please don't blame Elder Liu. This was also Disciple's idea."

"The day before yesterday, when Elder Liu and I went out, we encountered a mysterious person."

With that, Ling Yueer recounted what had happened earlier.

Finally, she said, "Master, that Senior Zhong Qing is unfathomable. Now Elder Liu has become his registered Disciple."

"If we can use this connection to form an alliance between that Senior and our Nine Clouds Sect, with the combined strength of Master and him, even facing a sect war, we will have some ability to protect ourselves."

Meng Gujun was also startled when he heard that Zhong Qing casually bestowed an Immortal Artifact upon his Disciple.

But then he secretly shook his head.

How could Immortal Artifacts be so easily seen?

Not to mention his Nine Clouds Sect, even for the Four Great Immortal Sects, a true Immortal Artifact was a treasure that guarded the sect.

How could it be given to a Disciple?

Just ask if the Four Great Immortal Sects would be willing to bestow Immortal Artifacts upon even their high-ranking elders?

It was probably his foolish Disciple and Liu Nian who had misidentified a Quasi-Immortal Artifact as an Immortal Artifact.

After all, Liu Nian was only a Fourth-turn Pseudo-Immortal at that time, and Ling Yueer's cultivation was even lower. She had never seen a true Immortal Artifact, so it was normal for her to make a mistake.

Of course, even if it was a Quasi-Immortal Artifact, to be able to bestow it upon a Disciple whose cultivation was inferior to Liu Nian's, this Zhong Qing was indeed extraordinary.

As for that Elixir of Creation, although he had never heard of it, the fact that it could repair Pseudo-Immortal-level Dao Foundations and divine souls meant it was definitely a supreme treasure no less than a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.

But even so, Meng Gujun's heart was filled with even more doubts.

What was Zhong Qing's intention in casually bestowing Quasi-Immortal Artifacts and immortal pills?

Liu Nian, a mere Fourth-turn Pseudo-Immortal, was old and had average talent. Selling him dozens of times would not be worth the value of that immortal pill.

What was the purpose of bestowing the Elixir of Creation upon him?

Was it truly just to take on a registered Disciple and give a master-apprentice gift?

What a joke, not even the Four Great Immortal Sects were so generous.

At this thought, Meng Gujun's heart trembled.

If there was something to scheme for, it was probably only his Nine Clouds Sect.

This Zhong Qing most likely knew Ling Yueer's identity and wanted to approach the Nine Clouds Sect through Ling Yueer.

To pay such a high price just for this point, Meng Gujun dared not imagine what his true intentions were.

Thinking of this, his expression changed, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"That Zhong Qing's origins are unknown, and his intentions are unclear. It's better not to approach him."

"Yue'er, I know your intentions to consider the sect and your Master, but the outside world is treacherous, full of wicked schemes. You must not easily trust others."

Upon hearing Meng Gujun's words, Liu Nian's heart immediately sank, realizing that Meng Gujun probably did not trust Zhong Qing, and he became anxious.

At his age, it was not his first day walking in the outside world. If that Zhong Qing had ulterior motives, with his strength and methods, he could have taken him down at the Hundred Sects Grand Assembly.

But in reality, later on, if they hadn't happened to encounter Zhong Qing's Disciple, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

Moreover, the medicinal pill bestowed by Zhong Qing had indeed cured his son.

In Liu Nian's view, Zhong Qing's immense kindness to him was simply immeasurable.

Seeing that his Sect Master did not trust his Master Zhong Qing, Liu Nian was somewhat anxious and was about to speak.

Suddenly, Ling Yueer pointed into the distance and exclaimed in surprise, "Elder Liu, look who that is?"

Meng Gujun frowned.

How could his Disciple seem to have not listened to anything he had just said?

He was about to open his mouth and scold her in a stricter tone.

But then he heard Liu Nian also exclaim in surprise: "That's... Master? Why is he there?"

Meng Gujun was startled: "Your Master?"

His first reaction was Liu Nian's Master in his Nine Clouds Sect, who was once an elder in the sect, but that person had been dead for 100,000 years, so how could he be here?

But the next moment, he realized.

Liu Nian was referring to his newly acknowledged Master, that Zhong Qing?

He subconsciously looked in the direction the two were pointing.

Then he saw at a glance the young man standing at the bow of the huge sword-shaped flying boat, standing with Xu Qianfeng, the Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, and his son.

It was precisely the person they had just been discussing.

"It's him?"

Meng Gujun was startled.

He never expected that the Zhong Qing in Ling Yueer and Liu Nian's mouths would actually be the young man at the bow of the ship.

"It's really Senior Zhong Qing! Why is he with people from the Yuhua Immortal Sect?"

Ling Yueer was full of surprise.

As for Meng Gujun, the moment he saw Zhong Qing, countless conjectures flashed through his mind.

"This person is from the Yuhua Immortal Sect... No, it doesn't seem like it."

"Then could it be..."

Although he did not know the other party's specific origins, it now seemed that the other party had already participated in the war between the Yuhua Immortal Sect and the Shangqing Immortal Sect, and had directly sided with the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

And the previous matters, Meng Gujun also found an answer here.

This person was probably allied with the Yuhua Immortal Sect, and the reason he wanted to approach him through Ling Yueer and the others was probably to help the Yuhua Immortal Sect win over his Nine Clouds Sect!

After all, the Nine Clouds Sect was the strongest force outside the Four Great Immortal Sects in the entire Second Heaven, and it was also closest to the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

In a war between the two sects, if other forces were to be won over, the Nine Clouds Sect would definitely be at the top of the list!

Although not a single word had been exchanged yet, at this moment, Meng Gujun had already self-righteously concocted an entire plot in his mind.
