26: Just flowers in a greenhouse

"Holy Lord, this disciple has something to say."

Just as everyone was about to leave, Lin Yang stepped forward, his expression calm and indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

But in the eyes of the entire sect, this was a matter of utmost importance.

The faces of all the elders and disciples of Wangyue Holy Land changed.

"We can discuss it later."

The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall's expression turned cold, and an imposing aura of one long accustomed to authority erupted. If anyone else had seen it, even an elder would have flinched.

But who was Lin Yang?

He was a protagonist who viewed everyone as equal and whose ambitions were as high as the heavens.

Lin Yang walked up to Su Qingyue, rubbed his nose, and said with a bitter smile.

"Little Junior Sister, do you still remember me?"

He had stood among the crowd for so long, why hadn't Su Qingyue even glanced at him?

Had she really forgotten him?

Impossible.

They had a deep friendship by the back mountain pond, and Su Qingyue had even given him a precious spiritual pill.

That spiritual pill had directly saved his life.

It must be that Su Qingyue hadn't seen him.

If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would never have another chance to see Su Qingyue.

After all, the difference in their statuses was too great; a Saintess was not someone he could simply meet whenever he wished.

Moreover, who knew when Su Qingyue would leave Wangyue Holy Land?

"You are... that handyman disciple by the back mountain pond?"

Su Qingyue involuntarily took a step back, moving closer to Gu Qing.

Lin Yang's sudden bitter smile made her feel a little flustered.

Those who didn't know might think there was some story between them.

It wouldn't be good if Gu Qing misunderstood.

At this moment, Su Qingyue even regretted it a little. She should have just gone for a walk to clear her mind; why did she have to meddle in other people's business?

If she had known Lin Yang was this kind of person, she shouldn't have pitied him in the first place.

"Oh..."

Everyone suddenly understood.

So Lin Yang was causing trouble here because he liked the Saintess.

Instantly, everyone looked at Lin Yang with pity.

Su Qingyue was so beautiful and ethereal, with extraordinary talent; almost every male disciple in the Holy Land liked her.

However, they didn't have the guts to declare their feelings in public.

The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall's cold and ruthless words were still ringing in their ears.

Gu Qing was speechless internally.

He had thought Lin Yang called everyone to challenge him.

After all, his current status was extraordinary, and his talent outstanding, making him the most suitable person present to be humiliated.

Lin Yang had also developed ill will towards him.

Because of this, Gu Qing had already prepared himself mentally.

He didn't expect it to be a false alarm.

Lin Yang went directly for Su Qingyue.

But then again, if it were a minor villain who also liked Su Qingyue, they would probably have already jumped out to be humiliated by now, wouldn't they?

So, was this Lin Yang's 'fishing for enforcement' tactic?

Tsk... all schemes, nothing but schemes.

It seemed Lin Yang was a protagonist who claimed not to cause trouble but went around causing it everywhere.

"That's right, it's me, Little Junior Sister..."

Seeing that Su Qingyue still remembered him, Lin Yang's mouth instantly twisted into a smile.

"Shut up, who is your Little Junior Sister?"

Su Qingyue was instantly enraged.

Previously, when Lin Yang called her Junior Sister, she thought he was older than her, and she didn't want to bother with a handyman disciple.

However, now, in front of everyone, if she still acknowledged "Little Junior Sister," she would never be able to clear her name.

"Uh..."

Lin Yang's smile froze, his twisted mouth looking rather comical.

He never expected Su Qingyue to deny him.

Had Su Qingyue looked down on him after joining the Star God Temple?

No, impossible. Su Qingyue was pure and kind-hearted; she wouldn't look down on him.

Could it be... Lin Yang's gaze turned to Gu Qing.

Could it be that Gu Qing had an unusual background and liked Su Qingyue?

Was Su Qingyue saying this on purpose to protect him?

[Detected that Lin Yang harbors malicious intent towards the host, currently plundering the host's luck, triggering Super Counter-Armor, counter-plundering one thousand luck from Lin Yang.]

Again... Lin Yang suddenly felt a pang in his heart, as if an invisible force had descended upon him, stripping something away from him.

"Was it an illusion?" Lin Yang recovered, completely fine, as if everything just now had been his illusion.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Yang looked at Gu Qing, his expression calm and indifferent, shrugging his shoulders as he said.

"You are Little Junior Sister's Senior Brother?"

"Presumptuous!"

"Lin Yang, how dare you provoke a true disciple of the Star God Temple!"

Before Gu Qing could speak, the elders and disciples of Wangyue Holy Land were enraged.

How dare you, a mere inner disciple, be so arrogant?

The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall looked at Lin Yang as if he were looking at a dead man.

His stern warning just now was precisely to prevent the sect's talented disciples from ignorantly provoking Gu Qing.

To put it bluntly, he was indirectly protecting the Holy Land's geniuses.

Who knew, there really was someone not afraid of death.

"That's right."

Gu Qing replied.

It seemed everything had returned to square one; even if he didn't provoke Lin Yang, Lin Yang would find an excuse to provoke him.

"I heard that the Star God Temple is an immortal orthodoxy that transcends the world, with countless divine arts and secret techniques. Even a handyman disciple from there is stronger than the prodigies of the outside world."

"I am not talented, but I believe I have some skills, and I would like to experience the divine techniques of the Star God Temple. Would you perhaps be willing to give me some pointers and fight me at the same realm?" Lin Yang said indifferently.

"Yes."

Lin Yang was offering himself up for him to harvest luck; Gu Qing had no reason to refuse.

"Senior Brother... how can he be worthy of fighting you? Let me do it."

Su Qingyue's expression changed, and she said anxiously.

Her Senior Brother was a Supreme Divine Body, a peerless existence throughout the ages.

He could debate Dao and divine abilities with those in the Saint Realm without being at a disadvantage.

How could Lin Yang, an ant who appeared from who knows where, be worthy of Gu Qing making a move?

He didn't even have the qualifications to look up to Gu Qing.

"Exactly."

"How can an ant on the ground be worthy of a true dragon from the nine heavens making a move?"

"Gu Zhenchuan, if you don't mind, this junior is willing to take your place and slay this ignorant ant for you."

A handsome young man with robust vitality stepped forward, cupped his fists, bowed, and said humbly.

He was the Saint Son of Wangyue Holy Land.

He had previously pursued Su Qingyue relentlessly.

However, he was very pragmatic; upon seeing Su Qingyue join the Star God Temple, he knew that a relationship between them was impossible.

Now, seeing Su Qingyue and Gu Qing together, although he was jealous and unwilling, he had accepted his fate.

He knew his own limitations.

Currying favor with Gu Qing was his wisest choice.

"Good!"

With the atmosphere they had created, if he didn't agree, he would seem to be unconcerned with his reputation.

Gu Qing nodded slightly, showing no discernible emotions.

"Heh!"

To actually compare him to an ant on the ground, Lin Yang directly let out a cold laugh, filled with extreme anger.

He secretly vowed that one day, he would definitely trample Gu Qing underfoot.

He would show these snobs who was the true dragon of the nine heavens and who was the ant on the ground.

And also... Lin Yang frowned slightly, looking at the pure and ethereal, beautiful Su Qingyue, like a fairy from the Guanghan Palace.

Why was Su Qingyue willing to fight herself rather than let Gu Qing duel him?

Was Gu Qing really that strong?

Lin Yang didn't believe it.

He had broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm through intense combat; his battle prowess was unmatched, killing peers was like slaughtering chickens, and challenging those of a higher realm was as easy as eating and drinking.

And Gu Qing?

Just a hothouse flower.

Had he not killed enough prodigies like this?

Let alone fighting Gu Qing at the same realm, even with his cultivation fully unleashed, he was confident he could defeat Gu Qing, who was in the Profound Pill Realm.
