289: The enemy's love brain can still be rescued

When he left, Gu Qing looked satisfied, entered a sage-like state, and fled in the direction of Xingyue.

In two breaths, he appeared in front of Xi Ling's flying boat and stopped.

"Senior Brother Gu." Xingyue was overjoyed. "Come in quickly."

The formation opened, and Gu Qing walked in.

In the luxurious and exquisite room, Xi Ling sat casually, her gorgeous immortal dress wrapped around her delicate body, outlining alluring, graceful curves.

Her long, slender hand held a pastry, revealing a section of her fair, ivory wrist.

She lifted her veil, revealing a perfectly rounded jawline and soft, bright lips.

Xingyue, on the other hand, stood up, her tall, full figure on full display.

Her starry eyes showed joy as she looked at Gu Qing excitedly.

"Senior Brother, please sit."

Xi Ling "..."

Xi Ling's movements paused, then she continued to eat the pastry in small bites, every action exuding elegance.

Her beautiful, glass-like eyes were filled with speechlessness.

She was beyond saving.

Her good rival-friend was completely consumed by love, acting so cheaply; she was truly beyond saving.

Xingyue couldn't be bothered with her.

What was 'love-struck'?

She was pursuing Gu Qing.

It hadn't even started yet.

Gu Qing was made a little uncomfortable by Xingyue's enthusiasm, making him hesitant to make a move on her.

He took the teacup she offered, took a sip, and then said, "Senior Sister, let's be straightforward. I want to contend for orthodoxy."

If Xingyue didn't agree, Gu Qing, even if he felt bad, would still ruthlessly destroy the flower.

Xingyue heard this and was not at all surprised.

After all, the Star Dao Sect's struggle for orthodoxy was well-known.

It was either her death or his.

Xingyue had long been mentally prepared, so she said, "Does Senior Brother have the support of an Immortal King?"

"Yes!" Gu Qing nodded.

There was nothing to hide; contending for orthodoxy didn't rely on schemes and tricks, but on true strength.

Xingyue was stunned.

How long had Gu Qing and his group ascended? How could he have the support of an Immortal King?

She had already planned; she was just waiting for Gu Qing to say no, and then she would offer to protect him.

Who would have thought Gu Qing would say yes, which completely threw her off.

Xingyue hesitated, "Senior Brother, are you perhaps lying to me?"

Gu Qing shook his head, "How could I lie to you about something like this?"

Xingyue pursed her red lips.

Indeed, whether one had Immortal King support wasn't something that could be talked into existence.

They would definitely have to meet eventually.

But she still didn't quite believe it.

What if Gu Qing was trying to get something for nothing?

Although she liked Gu Qing, she wasn't willing to risk everything.

She had a master, senior sisters, and junior sisters; she couldn't put them in danger for Gu Qing.

Seeing this, Gu Qing took out the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron, this chaotic artifact, which on the surface was an Immortal King Artifact.

Xingyue and Xi Ling's expressions changed instantly when they saw the Immortal King aura emanating from the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron.

They completely believed Gu Qing's words.

Xingyue suddenly remembered You Kui's senior brother and master.

These were existences who had attained the Dao of Immortal Kings.

Perhaps they hadn't fallen back then at all.

Thinking this, Xingyue said, "Senior Brother, I agree, but I can't make the decision. I can only try my best to persuade my master."

"After it's done, you must let me meet the Immortal King."

Gu Qing also knew that Xingyue couldn't make the decision, but she could play a crucial role.

With Xingyue's persuasion, the matter was almost twenty percent done. Of the remaining eighty percent, fifty percent depended on strength, and thirty percent depended on Wang Yue's sense of belonging to the Immortal Realm orthodoxy.

"Good!"

With the matter settled, Gu Qing stood up, intending to leave.

"Wait."

Xingyue became anxious, her face showing a moment of hesitation, and finally, she asked seriously, "Senior Brother, I like you. Do you like me?"

So direct?

Gu Qing was a bit startled, not expecting Xingyue to be so straightforward.

And they were still in an adversarial state; was it really appropriate to talk about love?

Gu Qing said helplessly, "Senior Sister, let's talk about it after you persuade your master."

If she couldn't persuade Wang Yue, he couldn't take Xingyue in.

Xingyue, however, said, "I know, but I still want to express my feelings."

No matter what Wang Yue decided, no matter if she and Gu Qing were enemies or friends in the future, she liked what she liked, and disliked what she disliked.

Xi Ling helplessly rubbed her forehead.

Brave, too brave.

"Good!"

Gu Qing had a lot to say about Xingyue's courage, but in the end, he could only squeeze out a single 'good'.

"That's great."

"So, Senior Brother, you agree to me?"

Xingyue knew how to grasp the main point, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.

Gu Qing nodded, moving past the topic, and looked at Xi Ling, asking, "Jun Lintian has already left the secret realm. When will you make a move on the Jun Family?"

Hearing Jun Lintian, Xi Ling's beautiful, glass-like eyes instantly turned cold: "I didn't expect him to escape so quickly."

She paused, then continued, "I'll leave the secret realm now to discuss with my father and invite a few female Immortal Kings. Are you interested?"

Gu Qing shook his head, "I'm only interested in Jun Lintian."

"That's a pity."

Xi Ling's red lips curled slightly, her beautiful, glass-like eyes showing amusement: "The Jun Family has accumulated countless treasures over billions of years, surely there are many Dao Fruits. I also heard that the Jun Family has a middle-grade Dao Fruit divine tree."

The treasures accumulated by the Jun Family over countless years were astonishing.

Even as the daughter of an Immortal King, she was incredibly tempted, let alone the Dao Fruits; she didn't believe Gu Qing wouldn't be tempted.

Hearing about the Dao Fruits, Gu Qing was indeed tempted.

Divine objects were useless to him, but Dao Fruits were extremely useful.

Furthermore, Dao Fruits were graded from low-grade to top-grade, but no matter the grade, Dao Fruits could increase Profound God cultivation.

A middle-grade Dao Fruit divine tree was definitely a supreme treasure.

As for high-grade and top-grade Dao Fruits...

They could only grow on innate spiritual roots.

Some were also naturally conceived by heaven and earth, with only the Dao Fruit and no tree.

The more Gu Qing thought about it, the more tempted he became.

Although he wasn't a Profound God yet, who would dislike Dao Fruits?

"How about it? Want to do a job together?" Xi Ling asked with a light laugh.

Although her father was known as the strongest Immortal King, killing an Immortal King was difficult; even inviting a few female Immortal Kings might not be entirely safe.

If Jun Shengbao escaped, then they would be in danger.

Therefore, one more Immortal King meant one more layer of certainty.

Also, she was very curious which Immortal King Gu Qing's Immortal King backer truly was.

There were only so many Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm; she had met almost all of them, and those she hadn't met, she had heard of or seen their portraits.

Do a job?

Why did it sound so strange?

Like she was a female bandit.

Gu Qing glanced at the ethereal and beautiful Xi Ling, then nodded, "Okay, but just the two of us will do; no need to invite others."

There were only so many true supreme treasures; one more person meant one more to share the spoils.

Since he had decided to have He Ni make a move, there was no need to find so many other people.

With He Ni's ability, killing an Immortal King should not be difficult.

Plus the assistance of He Guang, the matter was almost certain.

Xi Ling was thrown off by Gu Qing's words, her first reaction was to refuse, but seeing Gu Qing's confident assurance and his willingness to take the lead, she couldn't say much more.

Xi Ling thought to herself, "If this kid can't do it, I'll go invite the female Immortal Kings. Their personalities are domineering and strong, believing only in themselves. After hearing about Jun Lintian's actions, they will definitely take action."

"Then I'll wait for you in the Xuantian Domain."

After discussing some more details, Gu Qing directly took his leave.

Out of the secret realm, Gu Qing silently chanted He Ni's true name.

Xi Ling's jade hand waved in front of Xingyue: "He's already gone. What are you still looking at?"

Xingyue glared at her: "None of your business."

"Alright, alright, was I being meddlesome?"

Xi Ling complained helplessly, then thought for a moment. She still had to remind Xingyue: "I see him as a ruthless individual, just like us. If your master doesn't agree, he will absolutely show you no mercy. Don't be foolish then."

Hearing this, Xingyue showed no discouragement, smiling mysteriously: "My master will definitely agree."

"Oh?"

"How do you figure that?"

Xi Ling's beautiful eyes showed curiosity.

Wang Yue was a native of the Immortal Realm; how could she betray it without hesitation?

"You don't need to worry about that."

Xingyue propped her chin on her hands, her beautiful eyes full of joy.

"You little brat, so you were just lying to Gu Qing when you said you'd consult your master? You're not trying to blackmail Gu Qing, are you?"

"No, how could I blackmail Senior Brother Gu? For such a big matter, even if Master is willing, I would still have to inform her first and wait for her decision."

If it weren't for needing Wang Yue's nod, she would have agreed immediately.

"Alright!"

Xi Ling suddenly felt that her rival-friend's love-struck mind could still be saved... Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared in the void, and an ethereal, peerless figure walked out.

He Ni wore a plain white long dress, with a colorful sash cinching her slender waist, outlining her graceful curves.

Her expression was cool and aloof, her aura ethereal and transcendent, untainted by a speck of dust.

"Have you collected enough Time Stones?" Gu Qing tugged at her fair cheeks with both hands.

He Ni's cold and transcendent image instantly broke, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Enough."

She leaned her head against Gu Qing's firm chest, not wanting him to see her blush.

Because she knew very well how mischievous Gu Qing was.

He liked to bully her when she was aloof, and after she blushed, he would bully her even more; his personality was quite malicious.

Thinking this, He Ni buried her head lower, feeling inwardly ashamed and angry, with an urge to punch Gu Qing to death.

She was a cold and transcendent sword immortal!

An existence who had once attained the Dao of an Immortal Emperor!

The idol of countless sword cultivators, detached from worldly affairs, an existence who could destroy the All Heavens Myriad Realms with a single thought!

To be bullied like this by Gu Qing, she really had no face to see anyone.

Gu Qing didn't know that just tugging He Ni's cheek made her overthink so much.

Gu Qing told her about the Jun Family's matter.

He Ni merely hummed in response; the so-called Immortal King magnates were just that in her eyes.

"Then let's go. Take me to tour the Xuantian Domain." Gu Qing pinched her cheek again.

He truly loved the gentle and soft He Ni and decided to take her to explore a city.

Anyway, it would take one or two months for Xi Ling to deploy strong cultivators to encircle and suppress the Jun Family and plunder its wealth.

This was a good opportunity to relax his tense mind.

While small goals were important, sometimes a balance of work and rest was also needed.

"Okay."

Being pinched on the cheek again, He Ni's internal eye-roll was almost reaching the heavens.

She just couldn't understand.

She was such a great Immortal King, and an Immortal Emperor who had re-cultivated; why wasn't Gu Qing afraid of her at all?

It didn't make sense.

He Ni outwardly appeared gentle and compliant, but inwardly she was so conflicted she was doubting her existence.
