218: Kill Wang Fan and get the Dzi Bead
“Ugh, that’s enough!”
Seeing Xiao Hongdou cry non-stop, Gu Qing was a bit fed up.
He hated emotional displays the most.
Anything important, just keep it in your heart.
“It’s not like I ascended a step before you. We can still meet again in the future.”
“With your talent, you’ll ascend very soon.”
Gu Qing saw that she was still crying, showing no signs of stopping, so he gently wiped the corners of her eyes and comforted her.
“Hmph.”
Xiao Hongdou angrily punched his chest twice, a little annoyed.
Gu Qing didn’t understand why she was crying at all.
“Senior Brother…”
Xiao Hongdou’s bright, almond-shaped eyes were red, and she looked at Gu Qing, saying seriously, “Senior Brother, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let anyone cuckold you.”
“You don’t have to put it so crudely.”
Gu Qing’s mouth twitched, “I trust Qingyue and Su Ying. I’m just worried they might be entangled by ill-intentioned people. Excellent people are always coveted.”
“Mhm, mhm, mhm, I understand!”
Xiao Hongdou nodded, holding Gu Qing’s arm and not letting go.
She didn’t know why, but being with Gu Qing gave her a sense of intimacy, making her involuntarily relax and drop all her guard.
Perhaps Gu Qing was her benefactor.
Or perhaps Gu Qing was handsome, spoke kindly, and gave her ample respect, lacking the arrogance of a strong person in a Xuanhuan world who views the weak as ants… In the next few days, Gu Qing bid farewell to his relatives and friends one by one, and gave them many treasures.
After all this, Gu Qing found Luo Li.
With a child of destiny like Wang Fan by his side, he had to eliminate him before ascending to the Immortal Realm.
Although Wang Fan had always been well-behaved, only daring to make small moves under Luo Li’s command.
But a child of destiny is a child of destiny.
If it weren’t for him suppressing him, Wang Fan would definitely be more overbearing than anyone else.
Therefore, this person must not be allowed to live.
“Senior Brother, are you and Master ascending to the Immortal Realm?”
Luo Li was surprised after hearing this, staring fixedly at Gu Qing, her eyes full of reluctance.
“You don’t want to part with me? Why don’t you ascend to the Immortal Realm with me?” Gu Qing said with a smile.
Luo Li hesitated, then shook her head, politely declining.
Her current cultivation was too low, only at the Venerable Realm. Going to the Immortal Realm would make her a small fry, and everything would have to start from scratch.
It was different here; she was like an empress, dominating all the heavens.
Anyway, she didn’t lack resources, companions, techniques, or territory.
“Agree to him…” Wang Fan, who was nearby, felt an internal anxiety.
Heaven knew how excited Wang Fan was to hear that Gu Qing was ascending.
If he had to say who he feared most in the Star God Temple, it was definitely Gu Qing.
His talent was monstrous, his strength unfathomable, and most importantly, he had the support of the entire Star God Temple.
Once he dared to show his face, a single word from Gu Qing could condemn him to eternal damnation.
And there was Luo Li.
Although there was a deep blood feud, Wang Fan didn’t want revenge now; he only wanted Luo Li to leave quickly, the farther the better, to leave a world without him.
Because Luo Li was truly too powerful, with deep schemes and a ruthless, vicious nature.
Revenge also depended on whether one had the strength, didn't it?
Gu Qing and Luo Li were like two divine mountains pressing down on him, making him unable to breathe.
Now, hearing that Gu Qing was ascending and wanted to take Luo Li with him, Wang Fan almost burst into tears of excitement.
Without these two obstructing him, he could leverage Luo Li and the connections of the Goddess Peak lineage to leap over the dragon gate and soar into the sky.
“Alright!” Gu Qing smiled, not forcing the issue.
It would be good if Luo Li was willing to go with him, gaining another capable assistant.
It didn’t matter if she chose to stay.
With Luo Li’s talent, she would soon be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Luo Li pursed her lips, feeling a little lost.
Actually, if Gu Qing had invited her one more time and said some kind words, she would definitely have abandoned everything and gone with him.
But Gu Qing didn’t.
It was as if he had just asked casually.
She wasn’t that important in Gu Qing’s heart.
“Junior Sister, is there anything you need my help with?”
As he spoke, Gu Qing poured her a cup of the brewed Profound Clarity Enlightenment Tea.
“No…” Luo Li’s spirits were low. With Gu Qing leaving, she didn’t know when they would meet again, and there was an unspeakable sadness in her heart.
Gu Qing looked at her in surprise.
It was rare to see the domineering, ruthless, and vicious Luo Li also have a melancholic side.
He immediately spoke, comforting her gently.
Although Luo Li was strong, she was also very lonely; besides him, she had almost no friends.
She seemed to have boundless glory and was surrounded by many, but in reality, she was always alone.
“Are you serious…” Wang Fan was a little frantic.
He could tell that if Gu Qing invited Luo Li a few more times, Luo Li would definitely soften and agree.
And Gu Qing could also forcibly order Luo Li.
But Gu Qing didn’t do any of these things. Instead, he respected Luo Li’s choice, comforting her gently, like an older brother indulging and doting on his younger sister.
This was truly unexpected.
Gu Qing, such a ruthless and cold-hearted person, should be profit-driven above all else, so why was he so good to Luo Li?
“Junior Sister, this person is naturally rebellious and must not be kept.”
Seeing Luo Li’s mood improve, Gu Qing suddenly changed the subject, looking at Wang Fan with a cold gaze.
“Wh-what…”
Wang Fan was startled, his face instantly drained of color.
He had been working honestly and behaving properly since he came to the Star God Temple, never doing anything against Gu Qing.
How did he become naturally rebellious?
Luo Li paused, then nodded, “Senior Brother is right.”
Actually, she thought Wang Fan was quite good; he was loyal to her, steady, and resourceful.
He was her only capable subordinate.
But if Gu Qing said it was so, then it was so, it didn’t matter.
He was just an ant; if he was killed, then he was killed.
“Thud!”
Hearing Luo Li’s words, a surge of anger rushed to Wang Fan’s head.
Although he and Luo Li had a deep blood feud, he had at least served Luo Li diligently for so many years, never revealing any flaws.
Luo Li, on the other hand, just because of a word from Gu Qing, abandoned him without a second thought.
It couldn’t be described as anything but cold-blooded and heartless.
Wang Fan felt a chill throughout his body. With a thud, he knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
“Your Royal Highness, your subordinate…”
He felt he could still be saved.
Gu Qing was so good to Luo Li; as long as Luo Li was willing to say a word for him, perhaps he could escape death.
“Wang Fan, there’s no need to pretend in front of me.”
“Junior Sister killed your entire family. For all these years, you’ve been lurking by Junior Sister’s side, serving her diligently and wholeheartedly. It must have been truly difficult for you.”
Honestly, Gu Qing admired Wang Fan’s endure. His entire family had been sacrificed by Luo Li, yet Wang Fan could still face her with a smile every day and offer her advice.
This was truly not something an ordinary person could do.
“You… how did you know?”
Wang Fan was greatly alarmed, his expression terrified.
He didn’t understand how Gu Qing knew.
Although Gu Qing didn’t provide evidence, some things didn’t require evidence. Whether he admitted it or not, he was doomed; not even a god could save him.
He hadn’t expected that years of forbearance would become a joke.
Wang Fan’s eyes were filled with deep despair, his heart desolate.
Even with his astonishing great fortune, and no matter how careful and cautious he was, always looking three steps ahead, he would ultimately die because of a single word from a powerful person.
“Bang!”
Gu Qing instantly annihilated him. As his soul disintegrated, a terrifying divine light, peerless in its power, burst forth, tearing through space. It was about to escape when it was cut into nothingness by a chaotic Gui Xu Sword qi.
“That was close, Wang Fan’s soul almost escaped.”
Gu Qing felt immensely relieved.
It was fortunate that he had always been on guard against any possible hidden moves from Wang Fan, and had timely unleashed the chaotic Gui Xu Sword.
This divine light had already surpassed the Divine Fire Realm, exuding an aura of transcendence.
However, its power was too weak; even so, the divine power of the Divine Fire Realm could not harm it in the slightest.
Only his chaotic Gui Xu Sword intent, possessing the power to destroy all laws and return all to nothingness, could completely obliterate it.
“Senior Brother…”
Luo Li broke out in a cold sweat.
She had never expected that her supposedly loyal and capable subordinate was actually an enemy lurking by her side.
Even more, she hadn’t expected Wang Fan to have such a great fortune; that divine light was clearly extraordinary.
If Gu Qing hadn’t discovered it, she might have suffered a huge setback.
“In the future, when you encounter young people with delicate appearances, clear and bright eyes, firm brows, and extraordinary abilities, be extra wary.”
Gu Qing put away Wang Fan’s storage ring and said this.
Luo Li listened, not quite understanding. What was wrong with delicate-looking young people?
She didn’t think there was any problem with that.
However, listening to Gu Qing was always the right choice.
In the future, if she encountered young people with delicate appearances, clear eyes, and firm brows, she would just burn them all with Phoenix Nirvana Fire.
Gu Qing glanced at the system information and immediately beamed with joy.
400,000 points of destiny and one lottery chance. This was a huge gain.
“System, draw for me!”
As Gu Qing’s voice fell, a large spinning wheel appeared in his mind, rotating rapidly, finally stopping on a precious bead.
“Congratulations on obtaining a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the heaven bead.”
“heaven bead? What is this thing?”
Gu Qing quickly checked the functions of the heaven bead.
The heaven bead, as its name suggested, was an Innate Spirit Treasure containing a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s origin. It was an excellent supreme treasure for auxiliary cultivation.
It could purify one’s talent, help one achieve the unity of heaven and man, and constantly be in an enlightenment state.
Furthermore, it could clear inner demons, cleanse the mind, achieve a pristine and flawless Glass talent, and a clear and perfect state of mind.
“What a good item.”
The heaven bead’s auxiliary cultivation was so heaven-defying that even a waste could obtain it, rise against the odds, and become a prodigy or monster.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then placed it into the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower, and then opened Wang Fan’s storage ring.
He had to admit, Wang Fan had an abundance of treasures.
One complete Saint Weapon, three incomplete Saint Weapons, one incomplete Divine Weapon, and one incomplete Immortal Weapon.
There were also various Saint Medicines and various precious medicinal pills.
Wang Fan’s wealth was richer than someone in the Divine Fire Realm, living up to his identity as a child of destiny.
However, Gu Qing had no interest in these broken items.
He packaged them all and threw them to Chu Yao.
After giving some treasures to Luo Li and giving her some instructions, Gu Qing went to find Jiang Yu.
Still unwilling, he asked, “Do I really have to call her Master?”
He truly didn’t understand. Bringing Zhi Meng along, wasn’t that just causing trouble for the two of them?
“What do you know?”
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes, smiling mysteriously, “Just do as I say, you won’t go wrong. Once we enter the Immortal Realm, you’ll understand my painstaking efforts.”
“Really? Is that true?”
Gu Qing still didn’t believe it.
With Zhi Meng’s strong-willed personality, how could she possibly coexist peacefully with Jiang Yu?
However, Jiang Yu looked so mysterious, perhaps there really was something good.
He would trust her this once.
