758: Is there anything wrong with me trading my mother away?

“Interesting!”

Gu Qing stroked his chin, using his Dao Pupil to scan the entire venue, but he didn't find Chen Mo.

Gu Qing felt a little confused.

Bai Zhilan didn't look like a female lead who specifically came to give Chen Mo treasures.

It was just that for some unknown reason, Chen Mo hadn't appeared here.

There were no other protagonists here either.

“No?”

“Then… could you introduce me to Lord Gu?”

Bai Zhilan saw that no one responded for a long time, and a look of disappointment appeared in her clear, majestic dragon eyes. She could only settle for the next best thing.

Her cultivation had already reached the perfect twelfth realm, and she had been trapped in this realm for far too long.

She had tried countless methods, entered forbidden lands, and experienced countless life-and-death situations, but she still couldn't touch the profound mysteries of the Master God realm.

For a cultivator who was wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao, once their realm reached its limit and they became unable to advance further, it was even more unbearable than being killed.

Every day she was in boundless anxiety, yearning to break through to Master God; this feeling was driving her mad.

Therefore, upon hearing the news of Starry Sacred Mother's return to the sect, she rushed over impatiently, filled with anticipation.

It was well known that Starry Sacred Mother cultivated the Path of Emotion, cared for all living beings, and had a grand vow to transform the world.

Moreover, Starry Sacred Mother was very fond of being a teacher and bestowed opportunities upon all beings in the world.

If she could meet Starry Sacred Mother, perhaps she could receive Starry Sacred Mother's favor and be granted an opportunity.

However, the idea was good, but she couldn't meet Starry Sacred Mother at all.

She tried to find a disciple of Starry Sacred Mother to act as an intermediary, but they simply ignored her.

When she sought an audience with Gu Qing, no one paid her any attention either.

Even though she was a perfect Celestial and a direct descendant of the Dragon Race, she was not qualified to meet either of them.

But Bai Zhilan was truly unwilling to give up, so she reluctantly held this trade fair, hoping that with an innate treasure, she could attract someone connected to Gu Qing.

“I can help you with the introduction, but I don't want a magic treasure.”

Starry Sacred Mother glanced at her, and a look of appreciation appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She always appreciated those with a pure Dao heart and never hesitated to bestow opportunities and good fortune.

It was precisely because of this philosophy that her disciples were spread throughout the heavens.

“Oh?”

“Really?”

The majestic dragon eyes of the white dragoness burst with joyful light.

“Indeed!” Starry Sacred Mother nodded.

“Then what do you want?” Bai Zhilan asked nervously.

She wasn't afraid of others raising the price; after all, she was a not-so-small wealthy woman, and any treasures she didn't have, the Dragon Race's treasury surely would.

She was only afraid of people making demands.

“Join the Star God Sect and sever all ties with your past.”

Upon encountering such a promising cultivation talent as Bai Zhilan, she immediately had the idea of taking her as a disciple.

Moreover, Bai Zhilan was a female lead with great destiny, with the potential to break through to Master God, and might even be able to help Gu Qing in the future.

At the very least, it would be good for the Star God Sect to have another Master God.

“This… may I ask who Senior is…?” Bai Zhilan's voice trembled, vaguely guessing Starry Sacred Mother's identity.

“As you think, this Seat is Starry Sacred Mother, and I can take you as a registered disciple.” Starry Sacred Mother said.

Bai Zhilan was overjoyed, her delicate body trembling slightly with excitement.

She felt incredibly fortunate in her heart, glad that she hadn't given up, and that her sincerity had moved Starry Sacred Mother to specifically come and take her as a disciple.

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, Bai Zhilan would have immediately bowed as a disciple.

“Don't be happy too soon. This Seat wants you to completely sever all ties with your past. Can you do that?”

For a disciple to sever all ties with their past, this condition was a bit harsh, but it was not uncommon in this world.

Many powerful cultivators had this requirement when taking disciples; it was just that she hadn't had it before.

The reason she made this demand of Bai Zhilan was entirely because she had the destiny of a female lead.

Starry Sacred Mother had already deduced that Bai Zhilan and Chen Mo knew each other, and their destinies were deeply intertwined. In the future, Bai Zhilan would face a life-and-death tribulation and would have to shield Chen Mo from disaster.

Her demand was also a way of saving Bai Zhilan.

“This disciple is willing!” Bai Zhilan replied without hesitation, her tone firm.

Starry Sacred Mother was the most respected powerful cultivator in her heart, her idol for life.

Bai Zhilan dreamed of becoming Starry Sacred Mother's disciple, serving by Starry Sacred Mother's side, and cultivating the supreme Great Dao.

Moreover, she believed that Starry Sacred Mother's demand surely had another purpose and was for her own good.

“Master must have deduced my situation and knows my future,” Bai Zhilan thought with immense gratitude.

One knows one's own affairs.

Because she was an innate divine dragon, born of heaven and earth, with noble origins and great destiny.

This led to her being coveted not only by the old lecherous dragons of the Dragon Race but also by Master Gods.

If she hadn't rather died than yield, she would probably have become a plaything for the powerful long ago.

Therefore, she wished to sever all ties with her past and thereafter only accompany Starry Sacred Mother in cultivating the Great Dao.

“Good!”

Starry Sacred Mother responded with a good, then said no more.

“Next one.”

Bai Zhilan immediately spoke, wishing the trade fair would end soon.

“I want to trade for information about Lord Gu taking a disciple.”

The ox-headed masked man spoke first.

“Pfft!”

“Fellow Daoist, aren’t those two pieces of information?”

The fox-masked man scoffed disdainfully.

Whether Gu Qing takes disciples is one piece of information, and when he takes disciples is another. This stupid ox actually tried to play mind games with them, which was utterly ridiculous.

The ox-headed masked man scratched his head awkwardly: “Then I’ll trade for both pieces of information together.”

“Fellow Daoist, I advise you not to fantasize. Lord Gu is such an extraordinary existence that even someone trading a single innate treasure couldn't meet him. Do you think you're qualified to become his disciple?”

The fox-masked man sneered.

“Exactly!”

“Everyone’s time is precious, let’s not waste it on impossible things.”

Someone impatiently interjected.

The ox-headed masked man got angry for a moment, then said unwillingly, “Then I have nothing to trade. Next one.”

“I’ll use a Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure to trade for a seventh-tier Dao Pill. A seventh-tier Dao Fruit would be even better. If it’s not enough, I’ll compensate with other treasures.”

The fox-masked man spoke first.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one respond, he sighed: “Next one.”

“I’ll use a mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure to trade for information about whether Lord Gu has a Dao companion.”

As soon as these words were uttered, Gu Qing was immediately dumbfounded.

What kind of ridiculous information were they trading?

Trading whether he would take disciples was one thing, after all, he was a Celestial and the sect master, so it was normal for a prodigy to want to become his disciple.

But whether he had a Dao companion, what did that have to do with a tiger-headed masked man like you?

Thinking this, Gu Qing asked the same question.

The tiger-headed masked man was quite straightforward, saying bluntly: “I have a younger sister, fierce by nature. She has been engaged to many prodigies, but no one has been able to subdue her. I believe Lord Gu, with his unparalleled talent and incomparably handsome appearance, will surely be able to subdue my sister.”

Gu Qing: “…”

“I also want to know. Of course, if you can set us up, that would be even better. The price is negotiable,” said a man wearing an Asura mask.

“You also have a tigress sister?” Gu Qing asked in astonishment.

“No, but my mother is too fierce, even more so than a tigress…” The Asura-masked man’s eyes showed a look of fear.

Gu Qing’s mouth twitched, and he slammed the table: “Enough, all of you! This is a trade fair, not a matchmaking event.”

“Fellow Daoist, aren’t you being unreasonable? A trade fair is for trading needs, and my need is to trade my mother away. Is there anything wrong with that?”

The Asura-masked man questioned angrily.

“Exactly! If you don’t want to trade, then you can leave. Don’t get in the way here,” the tiger-headed masked man sneered.

Damn it, this is too much.

Gu Qing was furious.

If the trades were good, Gu Qing would have tolerated it.

But what kind of trades were these?

Were they treating him like a trash recycling station?

“Disciple, calm down. These are all common occurrences,” Starry Sacred Mother said, stifling a laugh, her jade hand stroking Gu Qing’s heaving chest, gently comforting him.

Xiao Hong was already laughing uncontrollably, her body shaking.

She used magic to block her laughter.

At this moment, Xiao Hong was immensely grateful to Gu Qing for giving her the Ultraman sun protection mask, allowing her to laugh to her heart's content.

“Master, they…”

“Alright, disciple, this is just the myriad aspects of life, with everyone having their own needs. As the saying goes, where there are flowers, butterflies will come. This is unavoidable, disciple, there is no need to stoop to their level.”
