177: The Master and Disciple Who Wanted to Leave the Father and Keep the Son

“Gu Qing…”

The moment Lin Xuan saw Gu Qing, a trace of panic appeared in his heart.

He was truly intimidated by Gu Qing.

He had competed against Gu Qing so many times, yet he had never gained an advantage, not once.

“Elder Lin Xuan, how do you wish to gamble?”

Gu Qing asked with a slight smile.

When Lin Xuan saw that smile, his scalp tightened, and he instinctively felt that this was a massive trap.

Gu Qing was digging a pit for him to jump into.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan snorted coldly: “What is my status? Are you even worthy of gambling with me?”

After speaking, Lin Xuan left silently.

He needed to endure.

So what if Xiao Hongdou became his disciple?

He had many ways to poach her.

Also, he absolutely could not let Gu Qing know that he could grow stronger by taking disciples; otherwise, Gu Qing would surely obstruct him.

Yes, he was thinking of the bigger picture.

He was definitely not afraid of Gu Qing.

Lin Xuan, back in his cave, thought this.

“To be scared away by a junior, after being reborn, why am I living more and more backward?”

The veiled woman, hidden in the void, watched Lin Xuan flee in disarray with indifferent eyes, her delicate brows furrowed.

“This…”

The Heaven's Chosen present looked at each other, utterly surprised that Lin Xuan would be scared away by a single sentence from Gu Qing.

Could it be that Lin Xuan's heaven-defying cultivation was just for show?

What a waste.

Everyone despised Lin Xuan even more.

In fact, some bolder Heaven's Chosen had flickering gazes, eager to make a move.

Since Lin Xuan was such a waste, they also wanted to step on him and show off their might.

Later, when they spoke of it, it would give them immense face, enough for them to boast for a lifetime.

“He just left?”

Gu Qing also found it unbelievable.

Lin Xuan was a fated protagonist, capable of challenging heaven and earth, so why would he flee in disarray?

Never mind, no matter why Lin Xuan ran away, as long as he could be prevented from taking a disciple, it was fine.

“This humble one, Hongluan, greets Gu Divine Child.”

Hongluan took a step, each movement graceful, her red silk gauze dress wrapping her exquisite, voluptuous, and delicate body.

Her snow-white, delicate skin was like flawless jade, faintly visible beneath the red silk gauze dress.

Her oval face, as white and smooth as jade, had two bright red lips, like two precious jewels embedded in snow.

A pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes, brimming with myriad charms, a casual glance from which would make one unable to resist, madly desiring to tear her red dress.

“Pah, vixen.”

The moment Xiao Hongdou saw Hongluan, she snapped back to reality, secretly spat in her heart, and nervously glanced at Gu Qing.

She prayed in her heart that her crush, whom she had finally fallen for, would not be captivated by the demoness Hongluan.

“Greetings, Senior Sister Hongluan. I am not yet a Divine Child.”

Gu Qing smiled, his gaze quickly sweeping over her, marveling in his heart, what a true vixen.

If Chu Yao was a charming and alluring little Fairy (demoness/seductress), then Hongluan was a demoness who enchanted all living beings, like a swaying, fiery, and flourishing Manjusaka flower, full of fatal temptation.

“Senior Sister?”

Hongluan was startled for a moment, but quickly recovered.

According to cultivation, she was at Venerable Realm Stage Four, while Gu Qing was at Venerable Realm Stage Five, so she should be a Junior Sister.

But if it was according to age, then she was indeed a Senior Sister.

Hongluan's enchanting peach blossom eyes sized up Gu Qing.

His features were flawlessly handsome, his body tall and slender, vibrant and spirited.

The more she looked, the more her heart stirred.

A younger brother is good, a younger brother is wonderful.

She was determined to be his older sister; even a god couldn't stop her.

Thinking this, Hongluan's slender jade hand twirled a lock of hair, her peach blossom eyes almost dripping with allure: “Little Junior Brother, my heart has a flaw. I heard you are a ninth-grade Alchemist Grandmaster. Do you know of a way to resolve it?”

A flaw in her heart?

Gu Qing looked at her chest, proudly erect, dominating the world, with the potential to encompass all things.

Half of her snowy mounds were faintly visible under the red silk gauze dress.

“There is indeed a flaw.” Gu Qing nodded slightly in agreement, then added: “This is not the place to talk, Senior Sister, follow me.”

“Then, I trouble Junior Brother!”

“Damn it…”

Hongluan's admirers watched helplessly as Gu Qing took away their beloved, immediately feeling a wave of jealousy, furious yet helpless.

After all, this was the Star God Temple.

They couldn't beat Gu Qing either.

“Shameless demoness…”

“Seductive vixen…”

Countless Heaven's Proud Daughters cursed Hongluan incessantly, their hearts filled with uncontrollable envy.

Because they knew very well what the Divine Child of the Star God Temple represented.

It was no exaggeration to say that Gu Qing was the most brilliant pearl in the All Heavens Myriad Realms.

Gu Qing not only attained a supreme position in the Star God Temple, but would also have a place in the Immortal Realm when he ascended in the future.

He was incomparable to the Divine Children outside.

Who wouldn't envy Hongluan for being able to connect with Gu Qing?

“Perhaps I can too…”

Some Heaven's Proud Daughters, who believed their beauty and talent were no less than Hongluan's, murmured to themselves.

They didn't seek to become Gu Qing's Dao Companion, but even a fleeting encounter would be worth it for them.

With good luck, they might even conceive an offspring, and if they could give birth to a small Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, they would hit the jackpot.

The more they thought about it, the more their hearts stirred.

Especially some experienced female cultivators who desired offspring but not a man.

Gu Qing was simply the perfect candidate for having a child without a father.

“Master, didn't you want offspring? I think Gu Qing is very suitable.”

The figure hidden in the void spoke with excitement.

The veiled woman, standing proudly, showed a hint of interest in her indifferent expression upon hearing this.

Indeed.

Gu Qing's physique was too good.

This was the legendary Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, destined to become an immortal ancestor.

Moreover, she could tell that Gu Qing's power came not from his physique, but from his comprehension.

To break through to the Venerable Realm in his early thirties was absolutely unprecedented and unmatched.

In addition, Gu Qing's physique seemed to have reverted from acquired to innate.

He was like an innate deity.

The veiled woman's heart stirred more and more: “Good, tell Hongluan to try her best to befriend him, find an opportunity to trick him out of the Star God Temple, and I will make my move.”

“Yes!”

...Meanwhile, on Goddess Peak.

Gu Qing poured a cup of tea for his father-in-law and asked via telepathy: “Father-in-law, are you taking Hongdou as a concubine?”

Xiao Hongdou was a fated villain; Bai Wuya simply couldn't control her.

To prevent his father-in-law from falling, he had to remind him.

“No.”

“Su Ying has a special constitution; if she were to conceive, her origin would be incomplete, and she would be cut off from the Great Dao. So I thought of having her bear your offspring.”

Bai Wuya said this without hesitation or psychological burden, as if it were a matter of course.

Gu Qing was speechless.

He knew Bai Wuya was a stubborn traditionalist, and the idea of continuing the family line was deeply ingrained in him.

However, finding a fated villain to be a chambermaid, Bai Wuya was probably tired of living.

Gu Qing found an excuse, stating that he didn't need offspring. After convincing Bai Wuya, Gu Qing took out a Heaven Origin Divine Fruit.

“Junior Sister, this is my welcoming gift to you. If you encounter any trouble in the Star God Temple in the future, just come to me.”

Xiao Hongdou's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the Heaven Origin Divine Fruit, feeling a sense of unreality.

This was a divine fruit, the most precious treasure in the All Heavens Myriad Realms, yet Gu Qing was giving it as a welcoming gift.

With the Heaven Origin Divine Fruit and divine marrow, her Exquisite Immortal Body would definitely awaken.

Xiao Hongdou was immensely glad she had made the right choice.

Having been a nobody for half her life, this immense fortune was what she deserved.

“Take it.” Bai Wuya said indifferently.

His attitude towards Xiao Hongdou had clearly become much colder.

Since she couldn't be used by his daughter, Xiao Hongdou seemed a bit redundant.

“Oh, thank you, Senior Brother!”

Xiao Hongdou happily accepted it, her clear and bright eyes, as if containing tiny stars, blinked as she looked at Gu Qing.

For her, a face and hand connoisseur, every inch of Gu Qing fit her aesthetic, even more perfect than she had imagined.

“Cough! Junior Sister, I have other matters, you should go back and cultivate well first.”

Gu Qing coughed lightly, always feeling that Xiao Hongdou was not an ordinary transmigrator.

She looked like a lewd woman.

Gu Qing's Divine Child enthronement ceremony was imminent, and he had no time for in-depth communication with Xiao Hongdou.

“Ah, oh, okay, then goodbye, Senior Brother!”

Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou snapped back to reality, her cheeks burning as if on fire, so shy that she fled in disarray.

“Oh my god, what have I done? Beauty has misled me, and I wonder if I left a bad impression on Senior Brother.” Xiao Hongdou shrieked in her heart.

She wasn't usually like this; she was very timid, beautiful from a young age, and never dared to approach handsome men in real life.

She only dared to go wild online.

What was happening today?

Why couldn't she take her eyes off Gu Qing?

“It's all Senior Brother's fault for being too alluring, like a male demon.” She came to this conclusion.

Gu Qing chuckled as he watched her fleeing figure, finding Xiao Hongdou quite interesting.

He retracted his gaze and asked Hongluan: “Senior Sister Hongluan, which sect are you from?”

Hongluan was a fated female protagonist with 90,000 units of destiny, so there might be a protagonist by her side.

“Moro Continent, Original Demon Sect.”

Hongluan replied, then her demeanor changed, her peach blossom eyes filled with boundless charm, and her voice was flirtatious (seductive) and soft: “Why is Little Junior Brother asking this? Are you so eager to offer betrothal gifts?”

Gu Qing's mouth twitched. It was their first meeting, and he hadn't said anything yet, and she was asking for betrothal gifts?

As expected of a demoness from the Demonic Sect, her style of action was unique, quick, accurate, and ruthless.

Being looked at by Hongluan's alluring peach blossom eyes, Gu Qing couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, various images appearing in his mind.

Her seductive and soft voice was like adding fuel to the fire, making one unable to resist.

“If Senior Sister doesn't mind, it's not impossible.” Gu Qing didn't believe Hongluan had fallen in love with him at first sight and was willing to marry him.

Therefore, as he spoke, Gu Qing took the opportunity to grasp her fair and slender hand.

If Hongluan wanted to play, he would play along.

However, if he didn't take advantage when he could, wouldn't he be a pure fool?

The moment her hand was seized, a trace of panic appeared in Hongluan's alluring peach blossom eyes, and she instinctively pulled her hand back.

“Senior Sister is unwilling?” Gu Qing smiled, his eyes teasing her.

“No such thing.”

Gu Qing was her type; she was extremely satisfied with both his talent and appearance.

She had come with Gu Qing precisely to seduce him, so how could she be unwilling?

It was just that things were progressing too quickly, and she couldn't accept it for a moment.

Thinking this, Hongluan's eyes shifted, and she asked casually: “Then, Little Junior Brother, what betrothal gifts do you plan to give to marry this humble one?”

His welcoming gift was a Heaven Origin Divine Fruit.

One should know that as the successor of the Original Demon Sect, she had never even seen a divine fruit, let alone eaten one.

This showed how rare and precious divine fruits were.

Hongluan couldn't imagine how many treasures Gu Qing possessed.

She also wondered how many betrothal gifts Gu Qing would give her.

“Are you serious?” Gu Qing was stunned, finding it unbelievable that Hongluan was actually willing.

“Of course, if I hadn't fallen for Little Junior Brother, why would I come home with you?”

Seeing this, Hongluan couldn't help but feel speechless.

Was her performance not obvious enough?

Did she have to check her heart to be believed?

Gu Qing looked at her, and for some reason, he suddenly had the illusion that he was Long Aotian.

With a mighty tremble, regardless of whether she was a demoness, a Siren (seductress), a goddess, a saintess, or a princess... they all fell under his charm.

“System, check if she genuinely wants me to offer betrothal gifts.”

When in doubt, ask his godfather.

【It's genuine.】

Upon receiving the answer, Gu Qing deeply suspected that he was Long Aotian himself.

Shaking his head secretly, Gu Qing dismissed these unrealistic thoughts from his mind and looked at Hongluan, who was like a succubus incarnate, saying.

“You should go back first. We can discuss this after I'm enthroned as Divine Child.”

The most pressing matter was to first be enthroned as Divine Child and eliminate Lin Xuan.

Women were dispensable; the main thing was to see if there was a protagonist by her side.

“Alright, but make sure to send the betrothal gifts soon, Senior Sister is waiting for Junior Brother to fill Senior Sister's incomplete heart.”

Hongluan blinked her peach blossom eyes, the tear mole beneath her eye sparkling, her seductive and soft voice possessing an indescribable allure.

She hadn't forgotten her master's instructions: trick Gu Qing out of the Star God Temple, and then master and disciple would work together.

After swindling Gu Qing out of his money and body, using him up, they would kick him away and have a child without a father.

Tsk, Gu Qing must be very sad and despairing, right?

She almost felt a little reluctant.

Hongluan's peach blossom eyes revealed a mischievous glint; that scene, just thinking about it, was exciting.

“Don't worry, you won't be short of betrothal gifts.”

Gu Qing was quite speechless.

Talking about betrothal gifts right away made it seem like he was getting something for free.

Although he was usually stingy, he was never stingy with his own woman.

After exchanging communication coordinates, Gu Qing rushed to find Jiang Yu.

“You heartless little scoundrel, you finally decided to come find me.”
