154: Like a monkey, really handsome

A group of ambitious Heavenly Chosen, including those monstrous talents who had cultivated to the Venerable Realm and were over a hundred years old, eagerly returned to inquire with their respective masters.

Previously, they wouldn't even dare to dream of the position of Divine Son.

After all, the reigning Divine Maiden was Zhi Meng, who had been invincible for an era, had slain her Dao Companions, and had killed countless people throughout her life.

They certainly didn't have the ability to conquer Zhi Meng.

However, now, Zhi Meng was about to abdicate in favor of Su Qingyue, and Gu Qing had lost the support of both Zhi Meng and Jiang Yu.

If not now, then when would be the time to contend?

"Disciple, I know you're anxious, but don't be in a hurry. Let me investigate thoroughly first."

They were also completely bewildered at this moment. Out of nowhere, what exactly did Gu Qing do to anger the two most powerful women in the Star God Temple?

But Gu Qing was, after all, the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, an existence that could perfectly inherit the Star Lineage.

Therefore, their opinions didn't count, and neither did Zhi Meng's and Jiang Yu's.

They had to ask the ancestors to find out.

"Master..."

With peerless immortal maidens and the grand Dao right before their eyes, how could they not be anxious?

"Alas, it's a troubled time. Disciple, calm down. I'll be back soon!"

Even if not for their disciples' futures, they still needed to get to the bottom of it, as Gu Qing's matter concerned the future of the Star God Temple.

They actually hoped that Gu Qing could become the Divine Son and ascend peacefully, rather than having so many unforeseen changes that would cause the entire Star God Temple to lose its moral compass...

"What exactly did Gu Qing do..."

Liu Ruyan murmured, a look of worry appearing on her cool, world-weary face.

She had originally thought that Jiang Yu merely wanted to give Gu Qing a minor punishment for his laziness.

After all, Jiang Yu had painstakingly taught him array formations, but Gu Qing, as soon as he learned them, simply packed up and left.

Who wouldn't be annoyed by that?

But now, it seemed things were clearly not as she had imagined.

Liu Ruyan turned her head to look at Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi smiled faintly, gazing at her with a look of infatuation and longing.

"Hmph!" Liu Ruyan snorted coldly and went out to gather information.

Liu Ruyi felt bitter inside, but she didn't say anything.

Because she knew that Liu Ruyan kept looking at her, wanting to know news about Gu Qing, but she didn't know anything either.

The subordinates she had recruited in the temple were fine for gathering ordinary information, but how could they possibly inquire about the news of Gu Qing and the other two?

They couldn't even meet them.

On the other side, Gu Qing heard Zhi Meng's roar and ran even faster.

Within a single day, he first angered Jiang Yu, and then Zhi Meng, which made him feel panicky.

Gu Qing found Luo Li and said anxiously, "Junior Sister, quickly come with me."

"Where to?"

"Senior Brother, what did you do to anger Master and the Palace Master?"

Luo Li asked worriedly.

Wang Fan and the others also pricked up their ears to listen.

To be honest, they really wanted Gu Qing to die.

If Gu Qing died, only they, the men, would be left in Zhi Meng's lineage.

"Nothing."

"Let's go. We'll go kill Lin Xuan's disciples to alleviate Master's worries." Gu Qing calmed his tone and said calmly.

"Senior Brother, at a time like this, why are you still concerned about those dead people?"

Luo Li was extremely anxious. In her opinion, Lin Xuan's disciples were just dead men, and they could be killed anytime.

Currently, the most important thing was how to appease Zhi Meng's and Jiang Yu's anger.

Otherwise, their positions would be in jeopardy.

Wang Fan and the others' temples throbbed.

They couldn't stand Luo Li showing concern for Gu Qing in the slightest.

You, a demoness who has killed countless people, shouldn't you be kicking him while he's down at a time like this?

What good does it do you to care so much about Gu Qing?

The few of them were so jealous of Gu Qing that their faces were distorted.

"Master is angry because I haven't gotten rid of Lin Xuan's disciples."

"The Palace Master is angry because I can't refine Divine Pills with Pill Veins."

Gu Qing's lies came out of his mouth instantly. He felt that the safest place right now was with Lin Xuan.

Zhi Meng didn't want to see Lin Xuan, probably because she had other schemes.

And Jiang Yu certainly didn't want to see him either; Lin Xuan was like a persistent rash to her.

"Really?" How could Luo Li believe that?

She knew how much Zhi Meng valued Gu Qing. How could she punish Gu Qing for such a minor matter?

As for Jiang Yu, that was even more ridiculous.

When did Divine Pills with Pill Veins become so easy to refine?

Could Jiang Yu refine them?

Thinking of this possibility, everyone's spirits lifted.

Spiritual pills with pill veins were treasures, containing the divine charm of alchemy and the laws of life.

Every Divine Pill with Pill Veins was a heaven-defying fortune, capable of even changing one's fate against the heavens.

"Of course, Master, she..."

"What's wrong with her?"

Zhi Meng strolled over, her divine face icy cold, her aura terrifying and peerless, like a supreme deity. With each step she took, it was as if she was treading on everyone's lives, controlling their life and death.

"Mas... Master."

"I see you've grown bold."

Zhi Meng grabbed Gu Qing by the collar and forcibly dragged him back to her cave abode.

"Senior Brother..." Liar.

Luo Li pursed her red lips. Gu Qing was indeed lying to her.

Gu Qing must have caused a huge disaster.

"Master, please calm your anger..." Luo Li flashed in front of Zhi Meng, about to kneel and plead for mercy, but she was pushed away by a gentle force.

Luo Li's heart sank halfway, and she stood rooted to the spot, at a loss.

Wang Fan and the others exchanged glances, all seeing extreme joy in each other's eyes.

Back in the Goddess Peak's main hall, Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, sending shivers down one's spine.

"You little brat..." Zhi Meng gritted her teeth, wishing she could pry open Gu Qing's head to see what was inside.

How dare he make her transform into a man? How could Gu Qing possibly dare to do such a thing?!

The mere thought of that scene sent shivers down her spine.

Zhi Meng even developed a psychological shadow; she was truly frightened.

Her mind involuntarily conjured images of cultivating to the point of qi deviation, her body inexplicably gaining something extra, and intimate scenes with Jiang Yu.

Hiss~

Can't think, can't think.

She and Jiang Yu were irreconcilable.

For the first time since her birth, Zhi Meng felt fear. She shook her head frantically, shaking all those indecent images out of her mind.

Looking at Gu Qing, she felt like strangling him.

"Master, I was wrong."

Seeing Zhi Meng's face grow even colder, her exquisite divine features even showing a hint of distortion, Gu Qing's survival instinct was extremely strong, and he immediately hugged Zhi Meng to admit his mistake.

The soft and delicate body entered his embrace, and a fragrant scent wafted into his nose. Gu Qing's first thought was how fragrant and soft Master was.

His second thought... Master is so magnificent.

Gu Qing made up his mind that as soon as Zhi Meng pushed him away, he would immediately slip away.

He couldn't stay in this Star God Temple for a moment longer.

Zhi Meng: ...You call this admitting your mistake by hugging me?

Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes widened, so shocked that she almost pushed her disciple to the ends of the earth.

Fortunately, she stabilized herself in time. A hint of pink slowly crept up Zhi Meng's earlobes. She steadied her mind, held onto Gu Qing, and said in a voice as cold as a blade: "Rebellious disciple, what did you do wrong?"

"I didn't do anything wrong."

Zhi Meng: ...Good, good, good. You little brat really wants to slip away.

Zhi Meng laughed in anger: "Very well, it's all my fault."

"Then... Master, do you know what you did wrong?"

Zhi Meng: ...Her proud and indifferent divine face showed a bewildered expression. After carefully recalling Gu Qing's words, she instantly exploded with anger.

"Rebellious disciple."

"You rebellious disciple..."

This rebellious disciple was truly infuriating her to death.

"Hahahaha..." Jiang Yu, hidden in the spatial rift, laughed with schadenfreude.

She knew Gu Qing was very mischievous, but she truly hadn't expected him to be this mischievous.

However, on the other hand, how could she miss such a good opportunity to poke at Zhi Meng's sore spot?

Jiang Yu stepped out of the spatial rift, pretending to throw out an array artifact and activate the Goddess Peak's great array.

Seeing the two embracing, she exclaimed in surprise, "You two..."

Zhi Meng's face changed, and she quickly pushed Gu Qing away, looking flustered.

"So that's how it is..." Jiang Yu feigned sudden enlightenment.

"It's not what you think..."

"I understand, I understand, I understand everything."

Jiang Yu nodded with a smile, looking as if she understood everything and he didn't need to explain.

Zhi Meng: ...No, what exactly do you understand?

Panic, embarrassment, shame... all surged into her heart. Zhi Meng had an urge to burrow into the ground.

Zhi Meng opened her mouth to explain, but she didn't know how to begin.

Looking at Jiang Yu, who had an expression that said 'I understand everything,' Zhi Meng was frantic and felt like killing someone.

Finally, Zhi Meng, being a coward, disappeared.

This mess was beyond explanation.

"Tsk..." This bad seed was angered to the point of breaking down again, truly wonderful.

Jiang Yu's eyes curved in a smile as she looked at Gu Qing and thought, "You didn't want him, so I'll take him."

She grabbed Gu Qing by the collar and directly took him back to her own cave abode.

Gu Qing: ...

"You little brat, you want to hit me, don't you?" Jiang Yu sternly scolded him with a straight face.

Gu Qing's eyelids twitched.

"Don't even think about escaping. My array formations have the power to seal space; you won't be able to get away."

"Besides, even if you escape to the ends of the universe, I can still catch you."

"..."

Very well, from now on, he could eat and drink for free here.

And with a peerless divine maiden accompanying him, life would be endlessly joyful.

Gu Qing gave up, looking at her with a resentful gaze and grumbling, "Palace Master, you're not a good person either."

Jiang Yu clearly had the strength to crush Zhi Meng, yet she deliberately pretended to be evenly matched, like a chess opponent of equal skill.

Watching Zhi Meng act like a clown, proudly and miserably trying to outdo everyone, was that fun?

Jiang Yu had the demeanor of a goddess on the surface, but in reality, she also had a devil within, very scheming.

In fact, Gu Qing highly suspected that Jiang Yu's mastery of array formations, artifact refining, talisman crafting, alchemy, and astrological divination were all for the sole purpose of better showing off and humiliating Zhi Meng.

Her practiced ease in activating array formations was proof enough.

His vicious Master had probably been bullied by Jiang Yu quite a lot.

Jiang Yu blinked her long, curled eyelashes, and her beautiful, shimmering eyes showed a look of surprise: "What do you mean?"

Keep pretending, just keep pretending.

Gu Qing really didn't understand what was the point of Jiang Yu not cultivating properly and spending all her days toying with Zhi Meng?

Well, perhaps Jiang Yu didn't need to cultivate at all.

Perhaps Jiang Yu was already bored to death and just wouldn't let go of Zhi Meng.

Tsk, his Master was truly pitiful.

No, his Master was truly lucky. Jiang Yu didn't even ascend to the Immortal Realm for her.

She had always silently accompanied his Master, constantly motivating her to cultivate diligently and strive to outdo everyone.

Like a clown.
