215: A beam of light from Liu Ruyan

Ru Yi was certain that Gu Qing and Jiang Yu were definitely involved.

Actually, she had suspected it for a long time.

After all, Jiang Yu's attitude towards Gu Qing was simply too good—that deeply affectionate and doting gaze, and her unconditional indulgence, were countless times better than how she treated her own disciples.

It didn't look like an elder's attitude towards a junior at all.

However, Gu Qing was Zhi Meng's disciple, and the age and status gap between them was too large, so she had never dared to be certain.

She even speculated that Jiang Yu's actions were actually an attempt to poach Zhi Meng's disciple and use Gu Qing against Zhi Meng.

But now, with Jiang Yu and Gu Qing having disappeared for so many years, what was there left for her not to understand?

Regardless of Jiang Yu's initial intentions with Gu Qing, the two were definitely together now, and might even have children.

"You're quite bold, aren't you? Daring to discuss your Master. Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the sect?" Gu Qing looked at her deeply, answering evasively but with a clear implication.

Ru Yi was a cunning, treacherous, and extremely manipulative madwoman.

Gu Qing wasn't surprised that she thought he and Jiang Yu were involved; after all, he and Jiang Yu had indeed been very close.

It was normal to be misunderstood.

However, Ru Yi actually voiced it. Was she trying to threaten him?

Not to mention that he and Jiang Yu had nothing going on, even if they did, it wasn't something Ru Yi could threaten him with.

Ru Yi dared to set her sights on him. If he didn't put her in her place, she might truly think he was a pushover.

Upon hearing this, Ru Yi's expression shifted repeatedly.

She did want to use this matter to get Gu Qing to help her, but seeing Gu Qing's unconcerned demeanor,

He didn't care at all if the secret was exposed.

Ru Yi felt a bit flustered, as Gu Qing truly had the ability and strength to eliminate her.

Ru Yan quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, my words were inappropriate. I was just curious for a moment. Please, Senior Brother, be magnanimous and overlook my transgression."

"Hmm!"

Gu Qing hummed, his gaze sweeping over her from head to toe.

It had to be said, Ru Yi was truly beautiful.

Her figure was graceful and captivating, and her fair skin glowed.

Her appearance was of the pure and sweet type, every gesture and smile exuding elegance and nobility, like a fairy untouched by dust.

If one didn't know her true nature, no one would ever imagine that Ru Yi was a demoness in the guise of a fairy.

Bearing a demonic fetus, an inherently evil seed.

"You may leave. From now on, meddle less in my affairs. Let's coexist peacefully."

Gu Qing waved his hand, having nothing more to say to Ru Yi.

Hearing this, Ru Yi's eyes instantly dimmed, and her expression became dejected.

Ru Yan's talent was monstrous, her cultivation already on par with hers, and with Jiang Yu's protection, she had no opportunity to act against Ru Yan.

The only person who could help her was Gu Qing.

However, Gu Qing's status was transcendent; he feared nothing and was not someone she could scheme against.

Moreover, although Gu Qing was lustful, he would not bend for beauty.

Getting Gu Qing to help her was basically impossible.

Two days passed in a flash. After Ru Yan bid farewell to Jiang Yu, she was overjoyed.

She spent the entire journey grinning and happily sharing her experiences of these past years with Gu Qing.

In short, she had beaten all the famous prodigies on the Xuantian Continent, becoming the number one prodigy of the Xuantian Continent.

"Gu Qing, you probably don't know, but I'm now the goddess of the entire Xuantian Continent, with countless admirers, but I haven't given any of them a good look."

"Some persistent ones who insisted on giving me treasures, I accepted them all. I plan to take them back to Sister Qingyue to feed the pigs."

Ru Yan spoke smugly about how many suitors she had.

And how she had decisively rejected them.

As she spoke, Ru Yan lowered her head slightly, peeking up to secretly observe Gu Qing's changing expression.

"Well done." Gu Qing's eyelids twitched.

Feeding treasures to pigs—if Ru Yan's suitors knew about this, he wondered what they would think.

However, Gu Qing strongly approved of Ru Yan's approach. This was how one should treat persistent people: leave the simps with nothing, lose both wife and army, and ideally even lose their lives.

Although such behavior was despicable, it was truly satisfying.

"You don't think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing, do you?"

Hearing Gu Qing's praise, Ru Yan's beautiful eyes showed a look of shock.

She thought Gu Qing wouldn't like her behavior, as Gu Qing treated his own women very well and should have a good impression of those affectionate and generous men, feeling a sense of camaraderie.

She had already prepared an excuse to convince Gu Qing.

"How could that be?"

"You did very well. Of course, it would be even better if you actively swindled their wealth and then killed them."

Gu Qing detested simps the most in his life.

When dealing with simps, nothing was too excessive.

Day after day, they didn't honor their parents and family, but instead shamelessly pursued women.

And they even called it "for love."

It was simply too disgusting.

Gu Qing was good to Chu Qing and the others because they were his women.

He gave Chu Yao treasures because Chu Yao helped him with things, and he also greatly admired Chu Yao's character.

He gave treasures to the Lin family because they had the kindness of raising him.

As for using treasures to pursue women, that would never happen in this lifetime.

"Ah?"

Ru Yan was stunned, her mouth agape.

Cheating them out of their treasures and taking their lives—wasn't that a bit too malicious?

"I'm just offering a suggestion. As for how you do it, just follow your own heart. You are my Junior Sister, and whatever you do is right." Gu Qing smiled and said gently.

Ru Yan heard this, pursed her red lips, and was deeply moved.

Did this count as Gu Qing showing favoritism and protection?

It must be.

Regardless of the reason, right or wrong, whether she was a good person or a bad person, Gu Qing firmly stood by her side.

Thinking this, Ru Yan's tender red lips moved, her expression awkward, but in the end, she didn't voice her thanks.

She turned her face away, not wanting to look at Gu Qing.

"Oh, right."

Gu Qing's expression suddenly became serious: "You need to be careful of Ru Yi. I see that she still hasn't given up on tormenting you. You should guard against her in the future."

Hearing this, Ru Yan's face darkened so much it seemed water would drip from it. She trembled all over, her eyes filled with anger and sorrow.

"Don't overthink it. She's just a lunatic, psychologically dark and twisted. She's not worth your mental exhaustion."

Gu Qing patted her little head.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that not everyone could be a protagonist.

Anyone encountering such a crazy yandere would probably break down.

"Hmm!" Ru Yan nodded heavily.

She knew exactly what kind of person Ru Yi was. Even though Ru Yi had been meticulously attentive and constantly protective of her all these years, Ru Yan had never let down her guard.

She had always been wary of Ru Yi.

But with Ru Yi's years of careful care and companionship, it was false to say she had no affection for Ru Yi.

However, Ru Yi was still Ru Yi, an inherently evil seed, dark and twisted.

Thinking this, Ru Yan asked confusedly, "What does 'mental exhaustion' mean?"

"It means you don't have to dwell on it. Just pretend she doesn't exist." Gu Qing explained.

"Pretend she doesn't exist?" Ru Yan murmured, her eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

Indeed, Ru Yi was like a persistent piece of dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off. If she pretended Ru Yi didn't exist, perhaps she wouldn't feel sad and conflicted anymore.

The more Ru Yan thought, the brighter her beautiful eyes became. Her phoenix eyes seemed to hold tiny stars, and she looked at Gu Qing with an expression of adoration.

Gu Qing was simply a beam of light in her life, illuminating her dark and painful childhood, and helping her soar to the heavens.

If Gu Qing hadn't taken her away, she wouldn't have been able to become Jiang Yu's disciple, nor would she have achieved what she had today.

It was also Gu Qing who helped her sever her parental ties.

Now, he had directly enlightened her, freeing her from Ru Yi's troubles.

Without Gu Qing, Ru Yan couldn't imagine how long she, the Liu family, and Ru Yi would have been entangled.

Perhaps she would still be trapped in a small corner of the world.

"Cough!"

Gu Qing coughed lightly, changing the subject: "Ru Yan, do you still remember He Ni?"

"I remember."

The light in Ru Yan's eyes dimmed instantly, and she replied sullenly.

She knew it; Gu Qing's trip to Liu Family Village was definitely for He Ni.

Gu Qing was good in every way, except he was too much of a playboy. She hated it.

"She left without saying goodbye back then. Senior Yang might know some of the reasons. When the time comes, please put in a few good words for me."

"Oh, I know."

Ru Yan replied with a reluctant "oh."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Gu Qing found Ru Yan's emotional changes a bit inexplicable.

He was too lazy to investigate; as long as his goal was achieved, that was fine.

Soon, Gu Qing brought Ru Yan to Liu Family Village.

"Big Girl, Second Girl, I'm back..."

Seeing the familiar scenery and familiar faces, Ru Yan shouted excitedly and rushed down.

She was completely a tomboy, with no trace of her usual cold, world-weary demeanor.

"Oh, are you Ru Yan?"

"Mm-hmm!"

"Wow, Ru Yan, you're so beautiful!"

"Oh, it's nothing!"

Watching the chattering group, Gu Qing shook his head speechlessly and walked to the hollow willow tree.

"Junior bows to Senior Yang."

"Saint Realm triple peak..."

In the alternate dimension, Yang Dieyi's figure was hazy, bathed in immortal light.

Hearing Gu Qing's voice, she looked up, her clear, magnetic voice breaking slightly.

It was somewhat unbelievable.

Yang Dieyi carefully examined Gu Qing and his aura and Dao rhythm.

She fell silent.

She couldn't understand how anyone in the world could have a foundation more profound than that of an innate deity.

Even with the aid of an Innate Spirit Treasure, it shouldn't be possible to reach such a height.
