128: Master's hands are warm and soft

"Master, the Palace Lord is unfathomable and skilled in astrology and divination..."

Returning to Qingfeng Sect, Gu Qing saw Zhi Meng as if she were a startled bird. Unable to bear it, he subtly reminded her.

He hoped Zhi Meng would stop opposing Jiang Yu.

He had come to understand.

Jiang Yu appeared to be a goddess on the surface, but in reality, she was extremely cunning and enjoyed toying with Zhi Meng.

And while Zhi Meng was also cunning, insidious, and sly, Jiang Yu's strength was undeniable. Zhi Meng fighting her was purely asking for trouble.

"I know."

Zhi Meng's expression turned ugly upon hearing this, and she nodded.

She knew better than anyone how formidable Jiang Yu was.

After all, she had been fighting Jiang Yu for so many years, never once gaining an advantage, and instead suffering many hidden losses.

But she would not give up.

Jiang Yu was her lifelong enemy.

If Jiang Yu didn't die, her thoughts would never be at peace.

"Senior Sister, I'm here."

Jiang Yu's voice arrived before she did. When she appeared, her exquisite divine face showed concern.

"Senior Sister, why is your complexion so poor? Do you need me to open the furnace and refine some pills to help you recover?"

Poor complexion?

Are you saying I'm old and faded?

Zhi Meng was so angry she almost couldn't maintain her composure. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched and unclenched, then clenched again. She said coldly, "No need. If it disturbs your retirement, that would be too presumptuous."

"Senior Sister misunderstands."

Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Junior Sister is merely undergoing a trial of the mortal world, experiencing the myriad aspects of life."

"By the way, Senior Sister, have you found out who stole your Xuan Huang Mother Qi?"

Damn it, I can't take this anymore.

"Master..."

Gu Qing quickly pulled the enraged Zhi Meng back, shielding her. He looked at Jiang Yu and said with annoyance,

"Palace Lord, your astrological divination is so powerful. Why don't you cast a hexagram? If even you can't figure it out, then this person must be an almighty expert."

Jiang Yu: ... She blinked, her eyelashes like two small fans, her beautiful eyes as gentle as water, containing bright starlight.

"This kid isn't suspecting me, is he?" she secretly wondered.

She quickly dismissed the thought.

After all, everyone knew that she and Zhi Meng were evenly matched. With similar strength, it would be impossible to silently swap the jade bottle.

Zhi Meng also thought the same.

If Jiang Yu truly had that ability, it would mean Jiang Yu's strength surpassed hers.

But they had always been evenly matched, old rivals.

So, she subconsciously overlooked Jiang Yu.

Her first thought was that the Xuan Huang Mother Qi had leaked its aura, was sensed by an old monster, and that person had stolen her Xuan Huang Mother Qi.

And this person was very likely an existence beyond the Divine Fire Realm.

The reason they didn't show themselves was to avoid being sensed by the Heavenly Dao and having the Ascension Lightning Tribulation descend.

Or perhaps they were severely injured and could only engage in unspeakable deeds.

"There's no information at all. I can't deduce anything."

Jiang Yu shook her head, feigning annoyance, "What kind of person do you think she is, Junior Nephew?"

[Detected that Jiang Yu is using the Heavenly Sight and Earthly Hearing divine ability to eavesdrop on the host's thoughts. Activating Super Counter-Armor, counter-eavesdropping on Jiang Yu's thoughts.]

Gu Qing: ... It's hard to comment.

Gu Qing didn't want to bother with this cheating old trickster. He pulled Zhi Meng and turned to leave.

"Wait."

Jiang Yu called out to them, looking at Gu Qing with a puzzled expression.

"This shouldn't be. How can I not eavesdrop on this kid's thoughts? Let me try again."

Hearing Jiang Yu's thoughts, Gu Qing asked calmly,

"Does the Palace Lord need something?"

Jiang Yu took out a dragon pearl: "Speaking of which, I haven't given you a senior's gift yet. This dragon pearl is of no use to me, so I'll give it to you."

After taking Zhi Meng's Xuan Huang Mother Qi, she felt bad about taking it for free.

Giving the dragon pearl to Gu Qing was just right.

Zhi Meng looked at her with disbelief. That was a treasure of the Profound God Realm, enough to allow someone to break through to the Divine Fire Realm, or even beyond.

How could Jiang Yu bear to give it away?

"Thank you for your generous gift, Palace Lord!"

Gu Qing feigned gratitude and accepted it.

Although the dragon pearl was not of much use to him either.

He had an Immortal King-level dragon pearl collecting dust in his Ruyi Space.

After all, he had the Golden Gourd and the immeasurable Xuan Huang Mother Qi in his Ruyi Space.

He didn't need the dragon essence from the dragon pearl to improve his cultivation at all.

But it was undeniable that this dragon pearl was extremely precious, countless times more valuable than a divine artifact.

"Still didn't hear anything. How strange, how strange!"

Jiang Yu left, still perplexed.

Finally, this great god is gone... Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, noticing Zhi Meng's unnatural expression out of the corner of his eye.

Only then did he realize that he had been holding his master's jade hand the whole time.

Don't even mention it, seriously.

His master's hand was warm and soft, the touch was excellent.

Gu Qing quickly let go, feeling a little flustered.

In the heat of the moment, he was afraid the two would start fighting and it would get out of hand.

If they really got into a serious fight, Zhi Meng would definitely be the one to get hurt.

So he subconsciously intervened, not thinking about anything else.

However, a disciple holding his master's hand, this matter could be big or small.

Gu Qing quickly glanced at her, and seeing that she wasn't angry, he immediately changed the subject. "Master, it's fine if that bit of Xuan Huang Mother Qi is lost. I still have a lot of Xuan Huang Mother Qi."

"Mm!" Zhi Meng responded distractedly, her gaze flickering.

Seeing this, Gu Qing asked her to take out the chaos cauldron. After all, a wisp of Xuan Huang Mother Qi was as heavy as a thousand jun, containing innate Dao rhyme, and could not be contained by ordinary treasures.

Under Zhi Meng's astonished gaze, Gu Qing directly gave her ten trillion wisps.

For him, Xuan Huang Mother Qi was like air, inexhaustible and endless, so he didn't feel any pain in giving it away.

He gave it and then ran off.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Gu Qing's hurried steps, almost like he was fleeing in a panic, Zhi Meng couldn't help but laugh.

Then she rubbed her forehead helplessly.

Just now, her heart rate had actually accelerated, which was truly uncalled for.

She had long since severed all ties of emotion and love; love was but fleeting clouds to her.

When she killed her childhood sweetheart fiancé, her heart was completely calm, and she stripped away his Pure Yang Origin without batting an eye.

She even stripped away the Pure Yin Origin of his 'bad' younger sister.

The union of Yin and Yang helped her cultivate the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record, transforming her physique into the Yin-Yang Chaos Body.

Afterward, she even annihilated her fiancé's family.

She had done such heinous things without any psychological burden.

But now, being held by her disciple's hand for a moment made her heart flutter, truly regressing with age.

Shaking her head, Zhi Meng calmed her emotions and scanned the chaos cauldron with her divine sense, seeing the vast amount of Xuan Huang Mother Qi.

She pursed her lips, silent for a long time, and thought, "What a filial disciple, just a bit of a playboy, but harmless. If Lin Xuan had his sense of responsibility, perhaps I wouldn't have killed him back then..."

She knew her fiancé Lin Xuan loved her very much, but before that, he was her 'bad' younger sister's fiancé.

Only after breaking off the engagement with Luo Rou did he become engaged to her.

He claimed he only saw her 'bad' younger sister as a sister.

Ridiculous.

Lin Xuan already had so many 'sisters'; did he really only see them as sisters?

Zhi Meng didn't believe it.

It was nothing more than wanting to have his cake and eat it too.

In fact, it wasn't a big deal.

As long as they were mutually in love, it wouldn't matter if Lin Xuan married more Dao Companions.

Her father had dozens of wives and concubines; capable men all had many wives and concubines. Zhi Meng was long used to it.

Moreover, everyone was a cultivator with a long lifespan, and the path of cultivation was difficult and perilous. If they had Dao Companions to support each other, it would also be a good thing.

But Lin Xuan had betrayed her 'bad' younger sister's sincere feelings, insisting on breaking off the engagement.

Only she could bully her 'bad' younger sister; whoever dared to touch her, she would kill.

"Hmph!"

Zhi Meng let out a long breath, pulling back her thoughts. She looked at the chaos cauldron, her eyes gleaming with a cold light.

Daring to steal her things, she had never suffered such a great loss in her life.

Just now, she hadn't thought much, subconsciously believing that anyone who could silently steal the jade bottle must have strength far superior to hers.

Now, having calmed down, the more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

After all, existences beyond the Divine Fire Realm were restricted by rules; they mostly lay in coffins to avoid heavenly secrets, or hid in formations that cut off heavenly secrets.

How could such an almighty expert appear in a mortal region?

Zhi Meng felt that it was most likely someone who had awakened a special innate talent and divine ability, undergoing a trial of the mortal world.

Their realm might be higher than hers, but she was confident that her combat power was not inferior to anyone. Even if she was ultimately defeated, knowing who the opponent was would still be good.

She would get her revenge sooner or later.

Besides this, there was another possibility: a remnant soul beyond the Divine Fire Realm, hidden in a treasure, engaging in theft.

In any case, no matter which possibility, she could handle it.

Thinking this, Zhi Meng immediately crossed time and space, arriving at that mortal city, and took out the Xuan Huang Mother Qi.

If she didn't find this person, she wouldn't be able to swallow this indignity.

Zhi Meng's expression was as calm as water. Her divine soul sensed her surroundings, and the Chaos Sky Blade within her was ready to strike.

She had fought countless battles and possessed unparalleled combat power. She refused to believe she couldn't take down a sneaky rat hiding its head and tail.
