135: Killing two birds with one stone

Upon hearing the names and physiques of Lin Xuan's disciples, Gu Qing immediately became excited.

With a Supreme Bone for each of them, as if they were being sold in bulk, Lin Xuan was undoubtedly the protagonist of the disciple-recruiting genre.

Combined with the names of Lin Xuan's disciples, it wasn't hard to deduce that these were all protagonists.

Gu Qing felt that if he could eliminate all these protagonists, he could instantly become a god.

"Why are you so excited?"

Looking at the visibly excited Gu Qing, Chu Yao was completely baffled.

That was a formidable and relentless enemy; what exactly was Gu Qing so thrilled about?

"Nothing."

Gu Qing took a deep breath, his mind racing, countless calculations flashing through his thoughts.

He couldn't kill Lin Xuan right now, but killing his disciples was still an option.

"So, what are you planning to do next? Are you going to ask your master to come out of seclusion?" Chu Yao asked again, her fox-like eyes filled with worry.

"No need."

With Jiang Yu's promise, Gu Qing naturally intended to make good use of it. After he had slain Lin Xuan's disciples, he would then bring Jiang Yu out to hold the fort. He didn't believe Lin Xuan could still forcibly claim her as a sister.

If Lin Xuan dared to show killing intent towards Jiang Yu, then Lin Xuan would be dead for sure.

Therefore, Zhi Meng's appearance would not only be unhelpful but would actually make things worse.

"Alright."

Chu Yao reluctantly agreed.

Gu Qing's actions utterly confused her.

In her opinion, the wisest course of action was to nip Lin Xuan in the bud while his foundation was still unstable.

However, Gu Qing was such a cunning person; if she could think of it, how could Gu Qing not?

Perhaps Gu Qing had other arrangements.

Thinking this, Chu Yao felt a little more at ease. She opened the jade bottle to see what kind of treasure Gu Qing had given her.

A pure essence of life surged out, mixed with faint wisps of the essence of laws.

Absorbing a wisp, all the blood cells in her body boiled, conveying an intense longing.

Chu Yao's fox-like eyes widened in shock, and she quickly put the lid back on the bottle.

Just as she was about to speak and return the precious liquid to Gu Qing, he had already vanished without a trace.

Chu Yao pursed her red lips and silently accepted it. Gu Qing was simply the benefactor of her life.

If not for Gu Qing, she would never have dared to join the Star God Temple, let alone become Jiang Yu's disciple.

"I owe him so much, I even want to give myself to him to bear his children..." she murmured softly, then seemed to think of something and laughed.

Gu Qing's talent was Unprecedented; if she were to become his Dao companion, she would likely be a burden to him.

If they had several descendants, it wouldn't be repaying a kindness but rather seeking revenge.

Meanwhile, Gu Qing directly sought out Jiang Yu to ask her about array formations.

"You're so..." idle?

Jiang Yu swallowed the last three words just in time.

She couldn't quite understand it. Given Gu Qing's personality, he should be trying to target Lin Xuan right now.

Why would he come to her to learn array formations?

Could it be that Gu Qing had recently converted to Buddhism?

That's to drag you into this... Gu Qing smiled shyly, looking like a good student.

The news of him becoming a Divine Son had already spread.

Given the protagonists' personalities, how could they tolerate it?

They would definitely try to cause trouble.

But protagonists with backing were not easy to kill. If the situation became unfavorable, Lin Xuan would certainly intervene to save them.

Therefore, Jiang Yu became crucial. With her present, even if he killed all of Lin Xuan's disciples, they would have died in vain.

For this reason, Gu Qing hadn't even cursed Lin Xuan.

He was just afraid of any unexpected complications.

What if Lin Xuan sought out Jiang Yu, and what if Jiang Yu's heart softened? That would be more loss than gain.

So, it wouldn't be too late to curse him after the two of them had turned against each other.

Additionally, while waiting, he could also learn array formations.

Dealing with protagonists and improving himself, both without delay.

It was truly killing two birds with one stone.

Jiang Yu looked at Gu Qing's smile, and her intuition told her that Gu Qing was up to no good, and learning array formations was probably just a front.

But it didn't matter.

She could handle anything that came crashing down.

As long as Gu Qing didn't do anything immoral, she would keep her promise.

Thinking this, Jiang Yu readily agreed, and even called for the two sisters, Liu Ruyan.

One child to train was the same as three children to train.

She was serious about 'chicken-parenting' them.

The three of them scanned the array formation basics provided by Jiang Yu with their divine senses. Gu Qing silently deduced for a moment, then began to refine array artifacts.

An hour later, Gu Qing refined a set of first-grade array artifacts.

"Senior Brother, you're so fast..." Liu Ruyan exclaimed.

Array formations were the most difficult skill to learn. For those without talent, it was like reading a heavenly book.

And even a rare array formation genius, appearing once in a thousand years, would need several years, or even longer, to thoroughly grasp the basics of array formations.

Only then would they move on to practice, and after mastering array formations, they could refine array artifacts.

Gu Qing, on the other hand, learned it after one glance, became proficient after one try, and went straight to completion. Was he even human?

Liu Ruyan's self-satisfied mood, having gained some insights into array formations, instantly vanished.

There was simply no comparison.

"Don't say 'fast' again!"

Gu Qing's face darkened. Praising him was fine, but saying he was 'fast' was unacceptable.

"If you don't say it, then don't say it, hmph!"

Liu Ruyan turned her face away indignantly, her little cheeks puffed out like a fugu fish.

She didn't think she had said anything wrong. Why was Gu Qing so fierce?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Liu Ruyan kicked Gu Qing's calf, then dodged behind Jiang Yu, smiling triumphantly.

Gu Qing: ... What a waste of an aloof face.

So mischievous. Just wait until you become a Great Emperor. If I don't expose your scandals, then I'll be done for.

"Ruyan, stop messing around..."

Jiang Yu affectionately stroked her head, her beautiful, tender eyes full of smiles.

Liu Ruyi: ... She looked up, smiled without speaking, and continued to work diligently.

Starlight Peak was peaceful and harmonious.

The outside world, however, was greatly shocked by the news that Gu Qing was about to be crowned Divine Son. Everyone eagerly inquired with their masters about the truth of the news.

After all, this news was simply too unbelievable.

Zhi Meng and Gu Qing were master and disciple. If he became Divine Son, wouldn't they have to become Dao companions?

Everyone was startled by their own thoughts.

Although the Star God Temple did not prohibit master-disciple relationships, who was Zhi Meng?

She was an Unprecedented goddess who suppressed an entire era, her Dao magical, her beauty unparalleled across all realms, an idol to countless people, a goddess beyond reach.

How could Zhi Meng, adorned with so many honors, marry her disciple?

They simply couldn't accept it.

Besides, Gu Qing already had a Dao companion!

"It is indeed true!"

The elders of the Star God Temple replied, instantly breaking countless hearts and making them incredibly jealous.

"Ji Ning, what's going on?"

Luo Li, who had returned from the Barren Ancient Realm, was also shocked upon hearing this news.

She immediately sought out Ji Ning to get to the bottom of it.

"The Goddess is preparing to abdicate, allowing Qingyue to take over as Goddess." Ji Ning stated concisely.

"So that's how it is..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Li's majestic and arrogant expression instantly turned to wild joy.

She had entered the sect a step late, causing her to miss out on the position of Saintess, but she absolutely had to contend for this Goddess position.

As fellow direct disciples, Zhi Meng couldn't possibly be so biased, could she?

Luo Li then asked a few more questions, and her heart instantly turned cold.

Her master truly didn't treat her as a disciple.

On the other side, Lin Xuan, as expected, couldn't sit still. He brought his fourth disciple, Lin Feng, directly to their door.
