318: In order to take advantage of the bad guys, they will do anything.
“You’re finally back.”
Zhi Meng’s eyes were red with excitement.
That damned Jiang Yu was truly too much of a bully.
She had already left the sect and fled to the Primordial Star Domain, but Jiang Yu still wouldn't let her go.
No matter where she hid, no matter how secretive her movements, she would always be found.
Every time she emerged from cultivation, Xian’er would be stolen.
She had tried every method, but nothing worked.
And now, Xian’er had been stolen again.
“Master, that…” Seeing Zhi Meng’s reddened eyes, Gu Qing didn’t know what to say anymore.
“You don’t need to say anything more. Jiang Yu and I will never rest until one of us is dead,” Zhi Meng said sharply.
“Yes, Master is right. Jiang Yu is too much. How dare she steal our Xian’er three or four times? I won’t let her off.”
If he tried to mediate now, he would probably be kicked out and break Zhi Meng’s heart.
Gu Qing could only put on a look of righteous indignation, vehemently denouncing Jiang Yu’s inhumanity.
“You…”
Zhi Meng was stunned by his words.
She knew that her disciple and Jiang Yu shared a deep master-disciple bond. After all, Jiang Yu had taught Gu Qing for so many years and imparted various skills.
She was even more dedicated than Zhi Meng, his own Master.
So, she had never expected Gu Qing to take her side.
She thought Gu Qing would most likely try to smooth things over.
The reason she spoke that way was just to give Jiang Yu a bit of a hard time and make Gu Qing stay away from Jiang Yu in the future.
Who would have thought that Gu Qing would actually join her on the same front?
“Master, I’ve also broken through to the Profound God Realm. Let’s go teach her a lesson together.”
Gu Qing’s face was filled with anger: “If we don’t teach her a lesson, she’ll think I’m a pushover.”
“Let’s go.”
Gu Qing pulled Zhi Meng, looking as if he was ready for master and disciple to join forces and utterly crush Jiang Yu.
“Wait!” Zhi Meng always felt that something wasn’t quite right.
However, hearing that Gu Qing had broken through to the Profound God Realm, Zhi Meng was overjoyed.
“What are we waiting for?”
“Jiang Yu stole our daughter. I will never let her off.”
“Disciple, calm down.” Zhi Meng couldn't think too much, and advised: “We are currently in a struggle for the Dao Lineage with the Star Dao Sect. It’s not appropriate to have internal strife.”
Although she wished she could flay Jiang Yu alive, she still had a sense of the bigger picture.
Moreover, Jiang Yu was truly powerful, her strength unfathomable.
She was also proficient in divination, which was crucial to them.
And after several hundred years of development, Jiang Yu had a considerable influence within the Star Dao Sect.
If they broke with her now…
Not to mention whether they could defeat Jiang Yu, if a great battle broke out, all their previous plans would go down the drain.
“Master, I understand everything you’re saying, but she stole our daughter. It’s truly unforgivable. If I don’t teach her a lesson, I can’t swallow this anger.”
Gu Qing’s eyes were full of fury.
“Disciple, calm your anger.”
So, it was for Xian’er. It seemed her disciple was a good father.
Zhi Meng pursed her lips, and her tone softened as she comforted him: “I know you’re worried about Jiang Yu stealing Xian’er, but don’t rush yet.”
“I’m very pleased that you can see Jiang Yu clearly, but a small impatience can ruin a great plan. For the sake of our grand scheme, we have no choice but to pretend to cooperate with her for now.”
“Once we seize power and unify the Star Dao Sect, it won’t be too late to settle accounts with her.”
“But…”
“No buts. Listen to your Master.” Zhi Meng’s expression was serious.
“Sigh, that damned Jiang Yu.”
“Are we just going to endure such a great humiliation?” Gu Qing still said unwillingly.
“For the greater good, a little humiliation is nothing. Disciple, you must remember that those who achieve great things do not bother with minor details.”
Zhi Meng pressed Gu Qing down to sit, doing her best to soothe her disciple’s agitated mind.
“This brat is truly too cunning…”
High in the sky, Jiang Yu held Xian’er, taking in the entire struggle between the two, and couldn’t help but curse, though her tender, watery eyes were full of smiles.
She had calculated that Gu Qing would come today, so she had stolen Xian’er in advance.
She just wanted to see how Gu Qing would persuade Zhi Meng to calm down.
Who would have thought that instead of seeing Gu Qing persuade Zhi Meng, she would see Zhi Meng persuading Gu Qing?
It truly opened her eyes.
Gu Qing was as shrewd and cunning as ever.
“Xian’er, your father is too cunning. You mustn’t learn from him, understand?”
Jiang Yu’s beautiful eyes held a smile. Her jade-like hand covered Xian’er’s cheek, pinching it, then she took out a handkerchief to wipe Xian’er’s drool.
She thought to herself: “Your father dares to talk about me like that. I won’t let him off. I need to teach him a lesson.”
Zhi Meng: “Disciple, that’s how it is. You absolutely must not get into a conflict with her, understand?”
“Understood.”
Gu Qing looked at Zhi Meng with an expression that said, “I’m useless”: “Master, am I very useless? I can’t even protect my daughter.”
“How could that be?”
Zhi Meng’s heart ached. She cupped Gu Qing’s face with both hands and said seriously: “Disciple is the most outstanding in the world. Looking through ancient and modern times, no one can compare even by half. You are just still young. Sooner or later, you will surpass Jiang Yu.”
“But…”
“A Qing is the most outstanding.”
… “I can’t bear to watch, I can’t bear to watch.”
Jiang Yu said she couldn’t bear to watch, but when she saw Gu Qing burying his head in Zhi Meng’s arms, playing the victim, her eyes lit up.
“That cunning little drama queen, to take advantage of that bad seed, he’ll do anything, hetui.”
Jiang Yu spat, her beautiful eyes thoughtful, her expression moved.
She was thinking, if that little drama queen also snuggled in her arms, whining and playing the victim, what should she do?
Should she expose him?
Should she kick him out?
Or pretend not to know and comfort him?
“Let’s go. We’ll get Xian’er back first.” Zhi Meng saw her beloved disciple’s mood improve, and only then remembered that her daughter was still in Jiang Yu’s hands.
She paused, then added: “You don’t need to worry. Your Master will definitely get Xian’er back.”
“Yes, I believe Master.”
Gu Qing looked at his Master, who was like an eagle, his eyes full of smiles.
He brought out the Time-Space Shuttle and headed straight for the Star Dao Sect.
