Chapter 196: This Woman Indeed Attracts Him

These people are the so-called Chosen Ones.

However, in the last tens of thousands of years, such people have never appeared again.

But she didn't expect to encounter one today.

Her original intention was to stay and find Lin Fei, who might be hidden among them, but she didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

Bringing this person back would also be worth ten years of freedom.

Although it was half less than twenty years, it was still close enough.

After ten years, her strength would at least reach her master's realm.

At that time, her master would no longer restrict her freedom like this.

Whoosh~~

She didn't hesitate at all, and with a flash, she appeared in front of Gu Ming.

"Are you willing to come back to the Central Region with me and join the Wu Wang Immortal Sect?"

The people from the other two sects had all run off and wouldn't be back for a while, so there was no need for her to act like a bandit and just snatch someone.

"Wh-what! Central Region, Wu Wang Immortal Sect?"

Gu Ming almost instantly recovered.

He replied with a slightly confused and surprised voice.

The sorrowful emotions just now had made him unconsciously relax his guard; otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed someone until they were right in front of him.

Fortunately, it wasn't anything bad.

On the contrary, it was an unexpectedly good thing!

The great name of Wu Wang Immortal Sect is known to everyone on the Eternal Continent; it can be said to be the continent's number one sect.

He had heard Old Chang say before that the three great magnates were watching from above.

He didn't expect that he, this unlucky fellow, would be chosen.

Wait, no!

He was no longer an unlucky fellow; he could clearly perceive the changes in his body now.

He just didn't expect that as soon as his Body of Misfortune reversed into a Body of Fortune, good luck would directly descend upon him.

This fortune truly had an unknown connection in the unseen world.

But, he didn't really want to go!

He just wanted to lie low and develop slowly; it didn't matter if his cultivation improved slowly.

With the transformation of his physique, his future opportunities should not be few, so there was no need to go to such a big place.

Going to the Wu Wang Immortal Sect, especially being specially brought back, would definitely make him a target for many people, and he didn't want to compete with those people at all.

Thinking of this, he cautiously spoke again:

"This Immortaless, I am inherently foolish. Going to your esteemed sect would also be a waste of resources. Can I not go?"

This was also a test.

He also wanted to know if this was a coincidental burst of luck or if his special nature had been discovered.

However, his words made Chutian River, who was following behind Shangguan Yunxi, secretly anxious.

This Grand Competition had been a complete mess, utterly chaotic.

The third place was killed by the top ranker, and the top ranker himself had disappeared.

There seemed to be a second place, also from Lingxiao Pavilion, but he was completely ignored; the attention of the three great magnates was on those two people.

And those two, one dead and one escaped, infuriated the experts of the three great magnates, almost sending him to meet his great-grandmother.

If they didn't find anyone outside, it was highly possible they would vent their anger entirely on Lingxiao Pavilion.

Now, with great difficulty, one of their own was favored by the Saintess, and this scoundrel actually refused to go.

How could he not be anxious? This guy was now the lifeline of Lingxiao Pavilion.

As long as the Saintess was satisfied, it meant the Wu Wang Immortal Sect was satisfied, and they would be able to escape this calamity.

He was so anxious that he wanted to step forward directly and agree on his behalf.

Hmm~~

He actually refused.

Shangguan Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly.

The other party's words were slightly beyond her expectation.

But thinking about it, it was understandable.

A Heavenly Dao Inheritor would naturally have their own secrets, just like her.

Didn't she also desire freedom and not want to stay within the sect!

With no lack of talent or resources, coupled with the identity of a Heavenly Dao Inheritor, there was indeed no need to join a sect.

The lower the status, the more freedom; conversely, with a higher status, various rules and regulations are imposed, making one uncomfortably bound.

This couldn't help but create a sense of resonance in her heart.

Her master restricted her free development, and she was now restricting the freedom of another prodigy.

Essentially, there was no difference.

"Hehe... Saintess, this Gu Ming is a member of my Lingxiao Pavilion. He simply hasn't seen a great figure like you before, and his words are a bit nonsensical. I will agree on his behalf, and I hope you won't take offense!"

Shangguan Yunxi's silence and slightly furrowed brows made Chutian River's heart palpitate.

So, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

He could still make decisions for a disciple.

He was truly afraid that if the Saintess was unhappy, she would dismantle Lingxiao Pavilion.

Gu Ming, on the other hand, glanced at Chutian River but chose not to speak again.

That last sentence was just a test anyway.

If the other party truly wanted to take him away, he couldn't resist.

At least, he couldn't resist right now.

If Chutian River sold him out, then so be it. This way, he wouldn't owe anyone any favors in the future, which suited his cautious behavior.

No favors meant no weakness, and he wouldn't have to consider too much when making any decisions.

"Hmph, when I do things, I don't need you to interfere!"

Shangguan Yunxi snorted coldly, striking out an azure blaze from mid-air.

With a muffled grunt, Chutian River was sent flying several hundred meters away, his face looking exceptionally pale, and blood continuously trickling from the corner of his mouth.

This scene also made everyone silent with fear.

A dignified Pavilion Master, with a Crossing Tribulation Realm peak cultivation, was actually sent flying just like that.

This Saintess of the Wu Wang Immortal Sect was truly not ordinarily formidable.

But Gu Ming, who was beside her, had his eyes light up.

After seeing Lin Fei's performance and hearing Old Chang's advice, he had thought that no one else on the Eternal Continent could compare to Lin Fei in terms of talent.

But he didn't expect to see one now.

This Saintess in front of him, similar in age to Lin Fei, was also incredibly strong, definitely capable of contending with Lin Fei.

For some reason, a tremor rose in his heart, and he grew curious about this Saintess.

"Gu Ming, right? Since you're unwilling, then..."

"Wait, I am willing to join the Wu Wang Immortal Sect. May I ask for the Saintess's esteemed name?"

Shangguan Yunxi had originally felt a touch of compassion. She had intended to temporarily incorporate him into the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce and decide later.

But her words were cut short by Gu Ming.

Looking at Gu Ming's gaze, her willow-like brows furrowed slightly.

She had seen this similar gaze before; the Immortal Sect's Saint Son looked at her like this.

This made her feel uncomfortable.

Half of the good impression she had just formed instantly vanished.

"My name is Shangguan Yunxi, the Saintess of the Immortal Sect. Since you've agreed, then come with me!"

With that, she turned and left directly.

Since the other party was willing to come, there was no need for her to send him to the Chamber of Commerce anymore.

As for her name, one could easily find out by asking around, so there was no harm in telling him.

Gu Ming followed closely behind.

A woman who could rival Lin Fei gave him some new ideas.

Moreover, this woman indeed attracted him.
