152: Lin Xuan was so angry that he vomited blood

Lin Xuan's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

He urgently wanted to know what Gu Qing had done to make Jiang Yu so furious.

Could it be that Jiang Yu discovered Gu Qing's ill intentions towards her, which ignited her rage?

As soon as this possibility came to mind, a murderous intent boiled within Lin Xuan.

Although Jiang Yu's coldness and heartlessness made Lin Xuan decide to no longer care about her, treating her as a stranger from then on.

He considered his sincere affection wasted on a dog.

But for a mere ant to dare covet Jiang Yu's beauty, Lin Xuan would never let Gu Qing's scheme succeed.

Because this was not just Jiang Yu's matter; it also concerned his revenge.

Lin Xuan was confident he could kill Zhi Meng, but he had no confidence at all in defeating Jiang Yu.

"Alright, let me help you one last time!" Lin Xuan thought to himself.

After helping Jiang Yu this time, he would no longer meddle in any of her affairs.

He wondered if Jiang Yu would regret her actions after seeing Gu Qing's true colors.

Even if she regretted it, Lin Xuan would not forgive Jiang Yu.

He had been reborn; who would still be a simp?

"Elder Lin Xuan, do you want to help the Temple Master get rid of Gu Qing?"

Bai Suying took in Lin Xuan's changing expressions, asking calmly.

"Yes!" Lin Xuan collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Gu Qing is deeply cunning and insidious; if he is not eliminated, he will surely become a disaster."

"Oh, I wonder how Elder Lin Xuan plans to deal with Gu Qing?" Bai Suying asked.

"I have my own methods." Lin Xuan smiled faintly, standing with his hands behind his back, as if everything was under his control.

Within the Star God Temple, Lin Xuan had no way to deal with Gu Qing, but outside the Star God Temple, wanting to kill Gu Qing was as simple as crushing an ant.

"Is that so?" Bai Suying looked unconvinced, feigning suspicion as she asked, "Elder Lin Xuan isn't trying to curry favor with the Temple Master through Gu Qing, is he?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's face darkened.

Currying favor with Jiang Yu was impossible.

He despised simps the most in this life.

Jiang Yu had even helped Gu Qing kill his two disciples; if he forgave Jiang Yu, wouldn't his disciples have died in vain?

"Elder Lin Xuan? Are you tacitly agreeing?" Bai Suying continued to ask, as if she hadn't noticed Lin Xuan's grim expression.

She sneered inwardly; Lin Xuan spoke so righteously, but she didn't believe a single word.

If Lin Xuan didn't want to curry favor with Jiang Yu, why would he help her?

Moreover, Lin Xuan should look in the mirror; he had almost been beaten like a dog by Jiang Yu, and was isolated and helpless in the Star God Temple. How could he help Jiang Yu?

To put it bluntly, Lin Xuan wanted to have his cake and eat it too, using hypocritical righteousness to cover up the filth in his heart, yet this ostrich-like approach seemed utterly ridiculous.

"How could that be?" Lin Xuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "A heartless and unrighteous person, no matter how powerful she is, has nothing to do with me."

Bai Suying was speechless, secretly cursing Lin Xuan as a turn-off.

They had only met for less than half an hour, and three out of ten of Lin Xuan's sentences were overtly or covertly mocking Jiang Yu for being ungrateful.

As if he had suffered a shameless betrayal.

If her strength had allowed it, Bai Suying would have cursed him out loud.

Her contempt for Lin Xuan grew even stronger in her heart.

A majestic Divine Fire Realm powerhouse, actually acting like a petty villain, slandering others from behind.

That such a petty person could cultivate to the Divine Fire Realm, the heavens were truly unfair.

"Let's not talk about her then."

Lin Xuan sighed, a bitter expression on his face, then turned to ask, "Have you made up your mind? Take me as your master, and I can impart to you supreme cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and secret arts, making you unrivaled in the world and looking down upon heaven and earth."

"With your talent, seeking revenge on Luo Li would be effortless."

Bai Suying heard this and refused without hesitation: "No need, I already have a master."

Lin Xuan said helplessly, "In the Dao Transmission Square, Luo Li made no secret of her killing intent towards you. Are you sure your master can protect you?"

He couldn't understand it; for Bai Suying to take him as her master, there would only be countless benefits and no disadvantages.

Why was Bai Suying so stubbornly unwilling?

Could her master compare to him?

"Naturally, she can."

Gu Qing flashed into existence in front of Bai Suying, sneering.

"It's you, with two disciples killed in a row, how do you have the face to say such things? Aren't you afraid your disciples in the underworld would feel disheartened hearing this?"

"Gu Qing..."

Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold, his face grim.

They say one shouldn't hit where it hurts, but Gu Qing was good at it, directly hitting a nerve and attacking him head-on.

Yet he couldn't refute it, after all, his disciples were indeed killed by Gu Qing.

"You're here." Bai Suying breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xuan was like a stubborn plaster, disgusting and impossible to shake off.

Bai Suying also didn't dare reveal her identity.

She was afraid that Lin Xuan, in a fit of rage, would erase her with a single glance.

"You two..."

Seeing their intimate actions, Lin Xuan's eyes bulged, and his temples throbbed.

An absurd thought emerged in his mind.

Bai Suying's master, could it be Zhi Meng?

The reason Luo Li wanted to kill Bai Suying, could it be out of jealousy?

"As you can see, Su Ying is my Dao Companion, and Zhi Meng is our master."

"Elder Lin Xuan, you can scram now."

Gu Qing laid his cards on the table, looking at him with a playful, mocking gaze, "Elder Lin Xuan, if you really can't recruit any disciples, I can introduce a few to you. Why cling to my Dao Companion?"

"Good, you two are very good."

Lin Xuan was so angry his lungs were about to burst.

Dao Companion.

Bai Suying was actually Gu Qing's Dao Companion.

Then all his efforts to boast in front of Bai Suying just now amounted to what?

No wonder Bai Suying was so stubbornly unwilling to become his disciple, remaining unmoved no matter how tempting the conditions he offered—it turned out she was an enemy.

"No need for Elder Lin Xuan to worry, I am indeed doing very well, with a goddess companion and loving fellow disciples."

"The only downside is that the Star God Temple's formation is not good enough to keep out flies, and I always encounter them, which is truly helpless," Gu Qing sighed.

I'm a fly?

You, an ant, dare to call me a fly?

Lin Xuan's veins bulged on his forehead, anger surged through him, making him so furious he wanted to vomit blood.

Gu Qing's words were as sharp as ever; he was no match for him at all.

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Since his debut, he had always been successful.

He could crush opponents with strength, and in verbal battles, he could make enemies vomit blood from anger.

Only Gu Qing, though his strength was crushed, it was useless.

Every time he saw Gu Qing, he was either so angry he wanted to vomit blood, or his disciples were killed.

Gu Qing was simply toxic.

Lin Xuan snorted, not daring to utter a single sound, and vanished from the spot.

"Be careful, Lin Xuan is a Divine Fire Realm powerhouse after all. If you push him too hard, the consequences could be disastrous."

Bai Suying pinched Gu Qing's arm, saying with lingering fear.

Mocking a Divine Fire Realm powerhouse as a fly—if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe anyone had such guts.

"Got it! You go back to cultivate first. It's not too late for you to come out after I've handled things."

Gu Qing actually hoped Lin Xuan would attack him; then Jiang Yu, who was hidden in the dark, would have no choice but to intervene.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan was a protagonist who could endure quite a lot.

"Then be careful." Bai Suying cautioned him again, feeling uneasy.

Although she really wanted to stay and help Gu Qing, she knew very well her own limitations; it was already good enough if she didn't cause trouble for Gu Qing.

"Mhm!" Gu Qing absently hummed in response, pondering how to send Lin Xuan on his way.
