159: The smart-looking fool beauty cheated Lin Xuan of two treasures

Gu Qing chose a palace for the two of them to stay in, and just as he was about to leave, Luo Rou called out to him.

"Why did you kill Lin Xuan's disciple?"

Gu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Our paths are different, so we cannot conspire together; each follows their own will."

He and Lin Xuan not only continued the grievances of the previous generation but also engaged in a struggle of orthodoxies, a never-ending, irreconcilable conflict.

Luo Rou listened and fell silent for a long time.

This answer was somewhat beyond her expectation.

She had thought Gu Qing would say that Lin Xuan's disciple provoked first, and they had agreed to a life-and-death battle.

Or, Gu Qing would say that it was Zhi Meng's order, and a master's command was hard to defy.

But she really hadn't expected Gu Qing to be so frank.

Luo Rou was stunned for a moment, then indignantly said, "It's all that evil seed Zhi Meng's fault, she's despicable, dirty, shameless, a venomous woman with a snake's heart..."

Gu Qing: ...He was the one who killed Lin Xuan's disciple, why was Luo Rou cursing Zhi Meng?

Didn't she blame him at all?

Gu Qing glanced at Lin Chuqing; Luo Rou was indeed as Lin Chuqing had described in her letter, always cursing Zhi Meng, as if every mistake, big or small, was Zhi Meng's fault.

After Luo Rou finished her tirade, a thoughtful look appeared in her bright, clear beautiful eyes, and her face was full of worry.

She knew very well that the hatred between Zhi Meng and Lin Xuan was irreconcilable; it was either one's death or the other's.

As a disciple, Gu Qing could only follow Zhi Meng down this dark path.

So, the question was, who should she help?

Lin Chuqing saw her dilemma and said, "Master, Zhi Meng must know you've come, and she's probably already thinking of some wicked scheme."

Hearing this, Luo Rou's expression jolted, and her bright, beautiful eyes showed panic.

But soon, she regained her demeanor as a well-bred young lady, with quiet and elegant movements.

"If she dares to come, I'll curse her to death," Luo Rou said, feigning fierceness.

However, coupled with her delicate figure and pure, beautiful face, she looked alluring no matter how one saw her.

"Yes, Master must never show weakness, otherwise Zhi Meng will only become more lawless," Lin Chuqing echoed.

"Mm!"

Luo Rou nodded, feigning composure; only then did she remember that she had come to curse Zhi Meng.

What did the life or death of Lin Xuan's disciple have to do with her?

She already had a disciple; the past had changed, and her feelings for Lin Xuan had long since vanished.

Thinking this, Luo Rou was filled with endless regret.

Too impulsive, she shouldn't have come; she should have stayed in the sect and cultivated with Lin Chuqing.

Occasionally guiding the disciples' cultivation, drinking tea and eating pastries with the elders, admiring flowers and the moon, chatting about everything, and gossiping.

Her days were wonderful.

Why did she have to come and face this evil seed, Zhi Meng?

However, it was too late to regret now.

Having arrived on Zhi Meng's territory, she didn't know how this evil seed Zhi Meng would bully her.

The more Luo Rou thought about it, the more nervous she became, feeling an urge to escape.

Looking at the nervous Luo Rou, a trace of heartache flashed across Lin Chuqing's cold eyes.

Luo Rou had been bullied by Zhi Meng for so many years that she was now afraid even at the mention of Zhi Meng's name.

She could only rely on curses to bolster her courage.

"A Qing, Master is in my care; you go and attend to your matters, if possible..." Lin Chuqing transmitted her voice, but she stopped before finishing.

If possible, she hoped Gu Qing would also persuade Zhi Meng not to bully Luo Rou anymore.

But what kind of person was Zhi Meng? How could she listen to Gu Qing?

"Alright, just make sure she doesn't leave Starlight Peak, and everything will be fine; my Master won't come over," Gu Qing understood the meaning of her words.

Looking at Luo Rou again, his gaze had changed.

Initially, he thought Luo Rou was an extraordinary and transcendent powerful figure, but he didn't expect her to be, instead, a pitiful little one who had been severely bullied.

Gu Qing also confirmed one thing.

Luo Rou was actually a foolish beauty with a shrewd appearance.

Outwardly quiet and elegant, but in reality, she was both naive and simple.

And the kind that was very easy to deceive.

"Let's go."

Gu Qing gave Chu Yao a look, and the latter immediately followed, transmitting her voice, "Are you sure you want me to say that?"

Coveting Jiang Yu's beauty was not a big deal, in fact, countless people coveted Jiang Yu's beauty.

But saying it out loud was different.

It was a great blasphemy.

So she wanted to confirm again.

"Confirmed, proceed as planned."

Anyway, it wasn't his first time blaspheming Jiang Yu, so a little more blasphemy of her beauty wouldn't hurt.

Many debts don't weigh one down.

Jiang Yu would surely forgive him.

"Alright!"

Chu Yao no longer tried to persuade him, but her heart grew more curious: when did Gu Qing and Jiang Yu's relationship become so good?

Could it be that Jiang Yu taught Gu Qing alchemy and developed a mentor-disciple affection?

That didn't seem right either.

If they were master and disciple, then it would be even more inappropriate to say such things.

Did she fall in love with Gu Qing?

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Yao's pupils contracted, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

She looked at Gu Qing, her foxy eyes thoughtful.

If it were anyone else, she definitely wouldn't think this way, after all, how transcendent and noble was Jiang Yu.

But if the object was Gu Qing, she thought it was very possible.

Gu Qing was simply too handsome, heroic and spirited, noble like a divine being embracing the moon in the nine heavens, making people involuntarily drawn to him.

Moreover, Gu Qing's talent was unparalleled, truly unique through the ages.

Of course, appearance and talent were only part of it; the main reason was that Gu Qing was too charming, making even her a little unable to control herself.

Thinking this, Chu Yao had already arrived at Lin Xuan's Tai Xuan Peak, and the protective array instantly opened a gap.

Chu Yao collected her thoughts and walked in leisurely.

On the mountain peak, Lin Xuan, Su Yang, and Shi Xuan were sitting cross-legged, surrounded by profound Dao charm.

Lin Xuan was imparting the Dao to his disciples.

"Yao'er, come and sit."

Lin Xuan showed a faint smile on his face, raised his hand, and pointed to a spot, where a white jade cushion instantly appeared.

Chu Yao sat on it, and the white jade cushion emitted a faint light, making her mind clear and empty, and a sense of enlightenment surged into her heart.

Chu Yao enviously touched the white jade cushion beneath her buttocks.

This was a treasure for enlightenment; cultivation speed could increase by at least tenfold, or even more.

In addition, the Enlightenment Jade Cushion could also help one comprehend the Dao, with a high probability of sudden enlightenment, which was a fortune many cultivators would never experience in their entire lives.

A thought flashed through her mind, and Chu Yao had already begun to calculate how to trick the Enlightenment Jade Cushion into her hands.

She felt the success rate was very high.

After all, Lin Xuan brought out such a treasure, clearly intending to tempt her with it.

Moreover, Lin Xuan seemed to have quite a few Enlightenment Jade Cushions and didn't seem to value them much.

Thinking of this, Chu Yao spoke aggrievedly, "Uncle-Master, the information has been gathered, but..."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her hesitate, as if she had unspeakable difficulties, Lin Xuan's face turned cold; if Gu Qing dared to harm a single hair on Chu Yao, he would kill Gu Qing even if it meant searching heaven and earth, the Yellow Springs.

"Junior Sister, speak directly; we will certainly uphold justice for you."

Su Yang's eyes were sinister, not hiding his killing intent at all.

He and Chu Yao had a very good relationship, and she had helped him with many small favors.

Su Yang felt that Chu Yao liked him.

Seeing his admirer being bullied, Su Yang almost couldn't control his surging killing intent.

Only Shi Xuan frowned, his intuition telling him that something was wrong.

But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong, though he trusted his intuition implicitly.

He had escaped death countless times relying on his keen intuition, and it had never failed him.

"He forced me to make a Heart Demon Vow; I cannot speak, I'm sorry, Uncle-Master, I've disappointed you," Chu Yao shook her head, her face full of guilt.

Lin Xuan almost couldn't hold back.

Damn it.

Why didn't he think of that?

He had thought that using the Star Heart would allow him to extract information about Gu Qing, and then use that information to plan against Gu Qing.

Now the Star Heart was given, and the information was gathered, but she couldn't speak.

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more aggrieved he became; the surrounding aura became distorted because of him, showing how furious Lin Xuan was at this moment.

"Uncle-Master, this information is very important to you; if you lend me the Enlightenment Jade Cushion to remove my Heart Demon, I am willing to reveal everything."

Chu Yao gritted her teeth, her expression firm yet enduring, as well as regretful and guilty.

Her acting was simply perfected, leaving no trace of flaw.

"Yao'er, it's not your fault; I was careless, I didn't expect that little Gu Qing to be so insidious and cunning."

Seeing this, Lin Xuan comforted her with heartache, then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It's just that little Gu Qing has underestimated me too much; a mere Heart Demon Vow, I can break it with a flick of my hand."

Chu Yao was stunned.

Can Heart Demon Vows be broken with divine abilities?

Why had she never heard of it?

Lin Xuan took out a jade box, and an invisible force lifted it, slowly floating in front of Chu Yao.

"Open it and see."

Lin Xuan said he could break it easily, could it be he was giving her a treasure?

Thinking this, Chu Yao opened it and took a look, her beautiful eyes immediately widening: "Substituted Divine Fruit..."

The Substituted Divine Fruit, as its name suggested, could allow one to die once in place of another, and could even transfer a Heart Demon onto the Substituted Divine Fruit.

In addition, the Substituted Divine Fruit was also a treasure for reshaping the physical body and could improve one's root aptitude, truly having infinite uses.

It was countless times more powerful than a Substitute Divine Talisman.

The Substitute Divine Talisman was developed based on the Substituted Divine Fruit.

But the Substitute Divine Talisman could only achieve a single substitution of death; it couldn't do anything else.

So, this was what Lin Xuan meant by breaking it easily?

Chu Yao's mind was racing, but she showed no hint of it on her face; she quickly pushed the Substituted Divine Fruit back.

"Uncle-Master, this is too precious; I cannot accept it."

Indeed, the Substituted Divine Fruit was a supreme treasure she had longed for; possessing it was equivalent to having an extra life.

But compared to the Enlightenment Jade Cushion, she wanted the Enlightenment Jade Cushion more.

Strength was the ultimate power.

"It's just a small trinket, take it; there's no need to feel burdened," Lin Xuan smiled faintly, very satisfied with Chu Yao's apparent lack of excitement upon seeing the treasure.

As expected, she was worthy of his high regard.

If it were anyone else, they would have long ago wished to claim it for themselves.

I have no burden at all... Chu Yao cursed inwardly.

She was doing things for Lin Xuan, wasn't it only right for Lin Xuan to help her solve problems?

She hadn't even asked Lin Xuan for remuneration yet.

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, had put on the air of a savior.

It was fortunate she wasn't truly working for Lin Xuan, otherwise, she would have lost out terribly.

Chu Yao's thoughts raced, and she tentatively said, "Uncle-Master, I left a loophole when I swore, so I presume the Enlightenment Jade Cushion can solve it, as long as Uncle-Master lends it to me for a period of time."

"Once the Heart Demon Vow is resolved, I will return it to Uncle-Master immediately."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, "In your eyes, would I be such an irresponsible Uncle-Master? Take it when I give it to you; this white jade cushion is also for you."

"Ah?"

Chu Yao was stunned.

She looked at the Substituted Divine Fruit, then at the Enlightenment Jade Cushion.

A sudden panic surged in her heart.

When she praised Lin Xuan, she only wanted to help Gu Qing gather some information.

She never expected that a single action at that time would lead her to such an immense stroke of luck.

First, sacred medicines and divine medicines, the Star Heart.

And the Substituted Divine Fruit and the Enlightenment Jade Cushion were simply treasures among treasures, items that even those in the Divine Fire Realm would fight to the death for.

Lin Xuan just gave them to her for free.

What if Lin Xuan found out the truth one day, he would surely tear her to pieces, right?

Chu Yao looked at Lin Xuan's calm expression, feigned refusal for a while, and finally, under Lin Xuan's insistence, she accepted them with tears in her foxy eyes.

Her heart was filled with excitement.

Who cares.

Such a heaven-sent fortune was right before her eyes; she had no reason to give it up.

By the time Lin Xuan discovered it, he might have already been eliminated by Gu Qing and Zhi Meng.

Shi Xuan hesitated to speak; he always felt that Chu Yao's intentions were impure, as if she had come solely for the treasures.

But Chu Yao's appearance of being wholeheartedly devoted to Lin Xuan left him unable to find any flaws, so he could only watch helplessly.

After all, it was merely suspicion; without evidence, it would be slander.

"Tell me, what exactly did Gu Qing do to incur the wrath of those two?" Lin Xuan's expression was calm, showing no heartache over the loss of the treasures; instead, he was secretly pleased.

He had intended to give the Enlightenment Jade Cushion to Chu Yao anyway.

Chu Yao doted on her junior sister so much; knowing his strength, she would surely regret not letting Chu Ling'er become his disciple, right?

Perhaps next time they met, he could take Chu Ling'er as a disciple.

As soon as he thought of having a soft and adorable loli disciple, Lin Xuan's heart was filled with excitement, and he immediately looked at his two disciples with a disgusted expression.

Rough men, how could they compare to a sweet loli?

"Gu Qing coveted my Master's beauty and was discovered," Chu Yao said indignantly.

"What?"

Lin Xuan and his two disciples were stunned.

This news was simply too explosive for them.

Jiang Yu was the brightest pearl in the starry sky, the unattainable white moonlight for countless proud talents and powerful figures.

She was a goddess who could not be blasphemed.

How dared Gu Qing do such a thing?

Though they thought this, the three of them firmly believed it.

Because only this could explain why Gu Qing, who was so highly regarded, suddenly fell out of favor.

"So that's how it is!"

After his shock, Lin Xuan showed an expression of 'I knew it'.

The first time he met Gu Qing, he knew Gu Qing harbored ill intentions towards Jiang Yu.

And it almost made him misunderstand.

"Since Jiang Yu knows, why didn't she just kill him?" Lin Xuan's eyes were sinister, like a murderous Asura God.

Although he had decided to cut ties with Jiang Yu, Lin Xuan also decided not to interfere in any of Jiang Yu's affairs anymore.

But he still couldn't stop his anger.

Such a despicable lecher, even if not for Jiang Yu, he would definitely kill him.

Having found a reason to convince himself, the killing intent in Lin Xuan's eyes was almost overflowing.

"I don't know that either; after he made me swear, he occupied my cave; he should be refining the Star Heart now," Chu Yao said, troubled.

"Too much bullying."

After hearing Chu Yao's words, Lin Xuan and his two disciples were enraged.

Even Shi Xuan was no exception; at this moment, he completely believed Chu Yao.

"This Gu Qing, relying on his Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, is simply lawless."

"I will definitely kill him."

Chu Yao's plight instantly aroused the protective instincts of the three protagonists, each filled with soaring killing intent.

The three of them left the cave together.

Lin Xuan's gaze was cold.

Without Jiang Yu's protection, Gu Qing was dead today, he said so.

After all, those old ancestors lying in their coffins only had one chance to act, and their time was limited; they would soon be sensed by the laws of heaven and earth, bringing down the Ascension Tribulation.

So, unless absolutely necessary, they would never act.

As for the other Divine Fire Realm cultivators in the Star God Temple, Lin Xuan truly didn't put them in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Yao secretly sneered, "Go, go, Gu Qing is waiting for you to come to his door, and there's Luo Li..."

"Disciple Luo Li greets Elder Lin Xuan."

Luo Li, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, immediately performed a junior's bow upon seeing the three of them emerge, her attitude proper and respectful.

However, her dignified and cold phoenix eyes revealed disdain and contempt.

Lin Xuan, as a powerful figure in the Divine Fire Realm, an existence at the pinnacle of the pyramid, instead of properly cultivating in seclusion and overlooking the changes of ancient times, was acting like a clown, jumping around everywhere.

And bringing his disciples along, too; there was really no one else like him.
