337: Spare you? Impossible, hehe...

Gu Qing's words silenced You Kui, who had been full of complaints.

He naturally hoped his disciple could find his own Dao and then surpass him.

This was also the expectation all Masters had for their disciples.

No one didn't wish for their children to become dragons.

Unless they took disciples for other purposes.

So, was Gu Qing doing the right thing?

Was this what the Starry Sacred Mother hoped for?

No, it wasn't like that.

Gu Qing was different.

You Kui slowly shook his head: "You can prove the Boundless Great Dao, but you cannot seize the Star Lineage for yourself; you cannot do that."

Not good... Hearing this, the three's hearts skipped a beat.

Was You Kui publicly opposing Gu Qing because he was tired of living?

"Nonsense! Senior Brother is the Starry Sacred Mother's only successor; the entire Star Dao Sect belongs to Senior Brother. Senior Brother can do whatever he wants."

"Don't be so foolish anymore."

Zuo Yu'er's expression was anxious, and she kept winking at her biological father.

However, You Kui was unmoved, gazing firmly at Gu Qing. He had to know the answer, even if it meant his demise, he wouldn't hesitate.

Because the Star Lineage was his lifelong belief.

"Enough, Yu'er."

Gu Qing sighed helplessly; if Yu'er kept winking, her face would cramp up.

Although he was ruthless and decisive, he wouldn't go so far as to completely destroy those who had shown him kindness.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then said: "The Boundless Divine Sect cannot be changed, but rest assured, I will not abolish the Star Great Dao; instead, I will primarily propagate the Star Great Dao."

"If you cannot accept this, then you may leave."

You Kui's eyes instantly dimmed. He shook his head and walked away in a daze.

He knew Gu Qing wouldn't change the sect's name; he was just holding onto a last sliver of hope.

Now that he had the answer, he finally gave up.

And his inner resolve became even firmer.

Gu Qing, Jiang Yu, and Zhi Meng were unreliable.

He wanted to become the Star Dao Master, recruit many disciples, and absolutely not let the Star Lineage decline in his hands.

"Senior Brother, he's just not thinking straight for now. With time, he'll definitely understand Senior Brother's good intentions."

Zuo Yu'er's eyes darted about as she said with a pained expression.

"Oh?"

"Why don't you tell me, what good intentions do I have?" Gu Qing said, amused.

He suddenly noticed that Zuo Yu'er was very lively and cheerful, her cherry-like mouth was articulate, and her little head was quite clever.

"A monopoly will eventually lead to complacency. A hundred schools of thought contending, with debate, competition, and crisis, is what brings progress..."

Zuo Yu'er chattered on, then added: "Senior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely persuade that old fossil."

"Haha, old fossil? Aren't you afraid of angering him to death?" Gu Qing laughed, looking at her with an appreciative gaze.

At first, he thought Zuo Yu'er was a naive and sweet female lead, but now it seemed, this female lead Zuo Yu'er was quite shrewd.

"Not afraid! He's stubborn, he deserves to be angered to the point of spitting blood."

"Hahaha, well said. Don't say it again next time; I'm afraid he won't be able to resist hitting you."

"No way! If he dares to hit me, I'll go find my mother to hit him." Zuo Yu'er pouted, looking charmingly naive.

"Hmm!" Gu Qing hummed, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the icy Mei Xueyan, who exuded a chilling sword intent.

One look and you knew she was not to be trifled with.

He wondered what happened between her and You Kui, for her to remarry with their daughter.

For a man, this was an absolute disgrace, yet You Kui endured it.

He even brought his lover into the sect. Strongest Profound God You Kui, his head was completely covered in a vast grassland.

He shook his head secretly; none of this concerned him.

Gu Qing took out a mid-grade Dao Fruit and handed it to her: "Take this and refine it well. Whatever cultivation techniques, secret arts, or divine abilities you fancy in the Scripture Pavilion, feel free to cultivate."

Gu Qing was very willing to nurture a clever and sensible female lead.

After all, if nurtured well, she would become another powerful Profound God Great Power, which would be of great benefit to the sect.

Moreover, Zuo Yu'er was the destined female lead; perhaps she could even help him attract the protagonist.

"Thank you, Senior Brother! Senior Brother, you're so good to me!"

Zuo Yu'er was overjoyed, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled.

Gu Qing giving her a Dao Fruit, did this mean Gu Qing liked her?

It must be.

Dao Fruits were so precious; if he didn't like her, he definitely wouldn't give her one.

"Senior Brother hides his feelings so well. He clearly likes me immensely, but he doesn't say anything, hmph!" Zuo Yu'er thought proudly.

"Sect Master!"

After the others left, Fang Ling and Nalan Nuo entered with two newly promoted Profound Gods.

Gu Qing glanced at them and praised: "Excellent! Our sect has two more Profound Gods. This is a great joyous occasion, and you shall be rewarded!"

With a flick of his sleeve, four low-grade Dao Fruits flew out, along with a pile of xuan shen artifacts for the two to choose from.

A Profound God was a hegemonic existence, capable of guarding a region and concerning the sect's interests.

In every sect, when someone broke through to Profound God, there were massive rewards and celebrations inviting the whole world.

"Thank you, Sect Master, for the reward!"

The two were overjoyed, accepting the Dao Fruits and bowing in gratitude.

Then they chose two offensive and defensive artifacts that suited their Great Dao.

Their hearts were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

After so many years of arduous cultivation, they finally proved the Profound God Dao. From now on, their status was transcendent; they were no longer mere disciples.

They could share in the sect's annual profits.

The two thought for a moment and felt that such a thank you was insufficient, too pale and powerless.

After all, their rapid breakthrough to Profound God, and even their deeper foundations, were all thanks to Gu Qing's unsparing cultivation.

Rong Xinyue and Chai Yinyin then said: "Thanks to the Sect Master's cultivation."

Gu Qing hummed and began to inquire about the sect's development over the past decade.

The four were completely clueless, standing there at a loss, their expressions ashamed.

They were devoted to cultivation, previously not paying attention to the outside world or the sect's affairs, big or small. Now it was the same.

Gu Qing also hadn't assigned them any tasks.

So, in the past ten years, all they did was cultivate in seclusion, and then cultivate in seclusion.

"It's fine. You may return to your cultivation. When I need you, I will issue tasks."

It was clear that these Little Fairies were devoted to cultivation.

But this was also good.

He was only afraid of a group of love-struck individuals who would abandon or even sacrifice the sect for love at the drop of a hat.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The four breathed a sigh of relief, resolving in their hearts to spend more effort gathering information about the sect in the future.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then went to Wangyue Peak, heading straight for Xi Ling's secluded cultivation cave.

He wanted to ask Hong Lan and the other three about the situation, whether they had reclaimed the trans-heavenly domain teleportation array and the cultivation cave dwellings.

He saw Xi Ling, covered in sweat, concentrating on refining artifacts. Her movements were fluid and graceful, possessing a unique beauty.

Especially the few strands of hair on her cheeks, dampened by sweat, clinging to her fair and tender skin, adding a touch of allure to her noble and ethereal temperament.

"You... why are you here?"

Seeing Gu Qing, Xi Ling was startled, almost losing control of the artifact refining furnace, which could have led to an explosion.

She quickly dispersed her power, put away the refining furnace. The materials were wasted, so be it.

She just wanted to send Gu Qing away first.

"I came to see my fiancée, is there a problem?" Gu Qing's eyes narrowed, and he walked forward with a playful expression.

Xi Ling seemed very afraid of him. Perhaps he could manipulate this, and further exploit this great villain, Xi Ling.

Thinking this, Gu Qing reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. A feminine fragrance wafted towards him.

It made him feel a little restless.

He almost wanted to turn this pretense into reality.

"Ah... let go of me."

"The things you ordered, I've had Hong Yi and the others handle them wholeheartedly. There were absolutely no tricks."

Xi Ling was flustered, her body touching Gu Qing's broad chest, feeling the scorching warmth of his body, his strong aura, and his powerful heartbeat.

She became even more panicked.

She shrieked, her voice tinged with a sob.

She continuously prayed in her heart that Gu Qing wouldn't act rashly.

At the same time, she used a secret technique to send a message, telling Hong Lan and the other three to return immediately.

"Hmph, I wouldn't expect you to dare." Gu Qing snorted, but he didn't release her, watching the flustered Xi Ling with amusement.

This was truly rare.

Xi Ling, who was born to face tribulation, capable of destroying heaven and earth, a ruthless and malicious villain, actually felt fear.

She also had moments of weakness and helplessness.

"Please spare me."

Xi Ling's voice was pleading, the corners of her eyes were red, and her eyes were filled with tears, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

She didn't want to admit defeat either.

After all, she was the daughter of an invincible Immortal King, and her mother was also an Immortal King, with unfathomable strength.

Her status could be described as supremely noble, looking down upon the Immortal Realm.

No matter where she went, she was a transcendent and noble goddess; even Immortal Kings had to give her some face.

If only her parents stood by her, she would dare to smash Gu Qing's dog head.

But the problem was, her parents stood by Gu Qing, dreaming of marrying her off.

And she couldn't defeat Gu Qing.

She couldn't escape either.

What could she do?

She was also very desperate.

"Spare you? Impossible, hehehe..."

A malicious thought rose in Gu Qing's heart, and he let out a sinister laugh, reaching out to caress Xi Ling's fair and tender cheek.

Xi Ling's pitiful appearance, contrasted with her usual cold and domineering demeanor, created a huge 'moe' gap, and made her even more beautiful.

This made him feel a surge of wickedness, wanting to bully Xi Ling even more. Anyway, Xi Ling was his fiancée, and no one else could interfere.

Cough, although they weren't officially engaged, the outside world had already spread the news.

Hong Lan and the other three had been working tirelessly for the Boundless Divine Sect. Who didn't know that he was Immortal King He Guang's son-in-law-to-be?
