270: Am I that attractive?

“Am I that charming?”

Gu Qing murmured upon hearing Chu Yao’s words.

Although he didn't know Xi Ling, as the daughter of an invincible Immortal King and a Goddess of the Taiyin Dao Sect, Xi Ling was definitely not an ordinary Heaven's Chosen.

He hadn't even met her, or perhaps he had but didn't recognize her.

Yet, he hadn't done anything, and Xi Ling had already fallen for him?

Why did it feel so unreal?

Gu Qing frowned, thinking that perhaps Chu Yao had misunderstood.

Xi Ling might only be interested in his strength, or perhaps just wanted to exchange insights on Dao methods and divine abilities, not actually fallen for him.

“You, you.”

Seeing Gu Qing’s bewildered expression, Chu Yao playfully poked his forehead.

Others had a mysterious self-confidence, but Gu Qing was handsome yet unaware of it.

Just wait, once Gu Qing’s deeds spread completely, even more little enchantresses would cling to him.

In the long life of the immortal path, a man who astonished the immortal world had finally appeared. Perhaps some experienced female cultivators would also be unable to sit still, their hearts stirring.

After all, women also liked beauty. The desire for food and sex is human nature; this was the Great Dao.

Thinking this, Chu Yao asked sourly, “Do you want to win over Xi Ling?”

“No need.”

Gu Qing shook his head, then revealed that an Immortal King protected him, so Chu Yao didn’t need to worry.

Hearing about the Immortal King’s protection, Chu Yao was overjoyed, a blush rising to her excited little face.

She completely stopped mentioning finding women.

Her slender waist was held by Gu Qing, and her long legs wrapped around him.

Chu Yao’s eyes were like silk, and she whispered, “They have a gathering to exchange information, discuss Dao methods and divine abilities, or form alliances to seize treasures. Do you want to attend?”

“No.”

Gatherings like that were definitely places of trouble.

Given their situation, someone would surely mock them or try to probe them.

Gu Qing's heart was fragile; he couldn't stand being cursed for no reason. Even if he eventually slapped them back, his good mood for the day would be completely ruined.

Moreover, Gu Qing still needed to refine the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron and had no time to play house.

Chu Yao pestered him for a while, but seeing that Gu Qing was determined not to go out, she helplessly said, “Alright, if you don’t show up, then the Yaoguang Holy Son will benefit.”

...What does that have to do with the Yaoguang Holy Son?

“Of course it does. In the Primordial Star Domain, the Yaoguang Holy Son is known as the Light of the Righteous Path, on par with Xi Ling Star Moon as the leader of the younger generation. If you don’t appear, the Heaven's Chosen will only look to the three of them.”

“And when discussing Dao methods and divine abilities, once those Heaven's Chosen gain something, they will definitely remember this favor.”

Chu Yao explained.

She had heard the Yaoguang Holy Son preach the Dao; his Dao methods and divine abilities were unfathomably profound, and his title as the contemporary leader was well-deserved.

But that was before. Now that Gu Qing had arrived, the Yaoguang Holy Son could only stand aside.

After the bothersome little enchantress Chu Yao left, Gu Qing immediately entered the Ruyi Space to refine the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron.

His divine sense permeated it, and with the assistance of his Dao Pupil, he refined the divine patterns and restrictions of the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron... In the Starlight Tower, the Yaoguang Holy Son, dressed in white, looked down at the boundless starry sky with an indifferent expression.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and an ominous premonition continuously rose in his heart.

“Who exactly is plotting against me?” the Yaoguang Holy Son thought uneasily.

He frowned in contemplation, wondering if he had offended anyone recently.

But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with anything.

Because he was genuinely very low-key, always kind to others, and never held grudges.

Even if he did, he would kill the person the same day he formed the enmity.

“Could it be that the Archaic Starfield faction is plotting against me? Wanting Gu Qing to step on me to rise?”

After much thought, the Yaoguang Holy Son could only come up with this possibility, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

If it was the Archaic Starfield faction, it would be easy to handle.

A bunch of grasshoppers after autumn, they wouldn’t be able to jump for many days.

“Holy Son, both Xi Ling Goddess and Xingyue Holy Maiden are interested in Gu Qing. Should we do something?”

The Great Elder asked with a solemn expression.

Both of them were at the Xuan Shen Peak, with unparalleled talent and heaven-defying backgrounds.

Moreover, both had extraordinary backgrounds.

Xi Ling had an invincible Immortal King father, an unbeatable background.

Their Star Dao Sect had also paid a huge price, offering some Immortal Emperor Dao scriptures, to get Immortal King He Guang to agree to this marriage.

Xingyue was also not bad. Although she wasn't the daughter of an Immortal King, she had a Xuan Shen Peak master in the Star Dao Sect.

And this lineage of Xingyue also had three Profound Gods.

It could be said that she was the most noble Goddess in the Star Dao Sect.

They had also always tried to bring the two together, so that the Yaoguang Holy Son could embrace both and his path to the Great Dao would be smoother.

But no matter how they tried to bring them together, Xingyue and Xi Ling seemed to have not fallen, always maintaining a lukewarm attitude towards the Yaoguang Holy Son.

“Gu Qing...”

The Yaoguang Holy Son, usually indifferent, looked a bit displeased when he heard this.

He could disregard other things, but his Junior Sister Xingyue and Junior Sister Xi Ling were the loves of his life, long considered his exclusive possessions, and he would never allow anyone to covet them.

The Yaoguang Holy Son's mind involuntarily recalled the scene just now.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the cold and ruthless Xingyue could actually show a maiden's shyness.

Although that appearance was extremely beautiful, even more enchanting than when she was cold.

But the object was not him.

And there was Xi Ling.

Noble and arrogant, she regarded all men in the world as pigs and dogs.

Yet, she repeatedly showed favor only to Gu Qing.

The more the Yaoguang Holy Son thought, the uglier his expression became, feeling a patch of green grass on his head.

Gu Qing hadn't done anything, yet he had already captured the hearts of both, and if they were to spend time with Gu Qing...

The Yaoguang Holy Son shook his head frantically, not daring to think further, and said coldly, “He is just a dying man; no need to pay him any mind.”

Several Sequence True Disciples had been given death orders, armed with powerful killing artifacts. Once Gu Qing entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, he would surely die.

If he also stepped in to target Gu Qing, it would be bad if it caused Xingyue and Xi Ling to dislike him.

Also, if the few Sequence True Disciples couldn't deal with Gu Qing, then his intervention would also be useless.

“The Holy Son is right.”

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Both women were proud and ruthless, and they most disliked anyone interfering with them.

However, doing nothing was also not an option.

Were they to just watch Xingyue and Xi Ling exchange affections with Gu Qing from afar?

Thinking of this, the Great Elder looked at the Yaoguang Holy Son, who was aloof and indifferent, and a feeling of frustration rose in his heart.

The Yaoguang Holy Son had a heaven-defying background, was humble and gentle with people, possessed countless stratagems, and was incredibly handsome.

Such a perfect Son of Heaven, why did Xingyue and Xi Ling not find him appealing?

He couldn't understand, he couldn't understand. He truly couldn't understand a woman's mind.

“Great Elder, there’s no need to be so conflicted. Gu Qing is indeed excellent enough, and it’s normal for Junior Sister Xingyue and Junior Sister Xi Ling to be momentarily moved by him.”

“But one day, they will understand that I am their most suitable Dao Companion.”

The Yaoguang Holy Son smiled indifferently, his expression confident and composed.

The Great Elder nodded, praising, “The Holy Son resembles the Old Ancestor, with a transcendent temperament, unperturbed by external matters, and will surely attain the supreme Dao Fruit.”

Cultivating the Dao first requires cultivating the heart. The Yaoguang Holy Son's transcendent temperament allowed his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

Coupled with the resources and luck of the entire Star Dao Sect, attaining the Dao of an Immortal King was absolutely no problem.

Thinking this, the Great Elder regretfully said, “It's a pity that the kings do not permit it. Otherwise, with the Holy Son's bearing, he could certainly ascend the Starlight Avenue. How could a mere child like Gu Qing steal all the limelight?”

“A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He is but an insignificant ant, no need to care,” the Yaoguang Holy Son said indifferently.

“The Holy Son is absolutely right.”

Facing the Yaoguang Holy Son, who was unmoved by fame and fortune, the Great Elder clapped his hands in admiration.

As for Gu Qing, he was too high-profile and ostentatious, not knowing how to hide his talents, and would ultimately be a flash in the pan.

Just like the woman who reached the peak back then, even if she astonished an era, didn't she still fall?

Times have changed.

Having talent only represents the qualification to cultivate. To achieve something, wealth, companions, methods, and land are all indispensable.

The further one progresses, the more one needs the assistance of rare treasures from heaven and earth, and the Yaoguang Holy Son lacked none of these.

The Yaoguang Holy Son had consumed countless rare treasures.

He had refined divine objects to nourish his physical body, washed his aptitude with Three Lights Divine Water, and even consumed three drops of time marrow.

He had even used the only Innate Spirit Treasure left by his ancestors to cleanse his aptitude.

In addition, he had guidance from famous teachers and sparring partners from powerful cultivators.

The Yaoguang Holy Son had a profound foundation, and his Dao methods and divine abilities were complete and flawless.

He could also command the entire Star Dao Sect for his own use.

And what did Gu Qing have?

Three Profound Gods with no foundation, not to be feared. When Gu Qing entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, it would be his time to fall.

Since ancient times, countless Heaven's Chosen like Gu Qing had been flashes in the pan.

“Great Elder, have someone test Chu Yao and see if she is willing to betray her Dao lineage.”

The Yaoguang Holy Son suddenly thought of Chu Yao. Everyone in the Archaic Starfield faction cultivated in a low-key and disciplined manner.

Only Chu Yao, after joining the Star Dao Sect, was very active. She appeared at every grand occasion, skillfully networking and befriending many successors of immortal great sects.

Even within the Star Dao Sect, she had made many disciples.

In his opinion, Chu Yao posed the greatest threat.

However, everyone's attention was drawn to Gu Qing, so he had to remind them.

“Alright!”

The Great Elder thought for a moment and said, “This woman has the potential of an Immortal King and is excellent at managing affairs. Why doesn't the Holy Son take her as a concubine? This would also be a great fortune for her.”

“She is not worthy,” the Yaoguang Holy Son said coldly. He was only interested in Xingyue and Xi Ling.

Even though Chu Yao was beautiful and had monstrous talent, she stirred no ripples in his heart.

“But...”

The Great Elder hesitated to speak.

Because his divine sense had already scanned the woman the Yaoguang Holy Son wasn't interested in, being surrounded by a crowd.

She was clearly a guest at the banquet, yet she had taken over as the host.

And the woman the Yaoguang Holy Son loved was currently inquiring about Gu Qing’s news... Sorry, I’m a bit stuck, writing and deleting. The next chapter will be a bit late, probably around 8 o’clock.
