793: Wedding, secret love is indeed a person's chaos
"It's an auspicious time, please..."
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman never dreamed that she would one day become a wedding officiant; it felt strange.
"This... is he Lord Gu?"
The seven fox sisters showed the same shocked expression.
The tiger sister was as cold as ice. She looked at Gu Qing, her expression unchanged, but her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, betraying her unquiet heart.
Scarlet Luo Princess's disdainful expression gradually receded.
He was too handsome.
Of course, they were not shallow people; they certainly weren't captivated by Gu Qing's peerlessly handsome appearance.
They had seen countless handsome men, though none could compare to Gu Qing.
They were deeply attracted by Gu Qing's soaring spirit, like a blazing sun, forcefully shining into their hearts, incredibly impactful.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that someone's demeanor could be so flamboyant and ardent, exuding a noble, cloud-piercing aura.
Especially the confidence Gu Qing exuded from within deeply captivated their gaze.
They had initially thought that someone as powerful as Gu Qing would be aloof and detached, as if everything was under his control, or perhaps domineering and cold, looking down on the world, no different from other heavenly prodigies.
They weren't interested in these two types of people.
Especially the former, who wore white clothes every day, putting on airs; they couldn't muster an ounce of interest, feeling as if it were a funeral.
They didn't like the latter either, because they themselves were domineering and cold people.
"This unfilial son... never mind, the unfilial son is doing it for my own good, so I'll spare him this once." Scarlet Luo Princess glanced at the Great Filial Son and thought to herself.
"My foolish brother always means well but messes things up, but for the sake of my foolish brother's sincerity, I'll forgive him this once."
The eight sisters decided not to bicker with their foolish brother for now, but it wouldn't be a precedent; they would still need to talk to him later.
Gu Qing's eyes moved, scanning the entire venue.
Good heavens, more than a dozen Master Gods had come, and there were also three Dao Lords.
Without a doubt, they must have come to inquire about the Good Fortune Divine Marrow.
Gu Qing deliberately revealed a trace of his primordial aura, simulating an unstable realm and leaking primordial energy.
"Thank you all for coming to show your support. I offer you a toast."
Gu Qing stepped off the stage and toasted each person individually.
"Lord Gu is too kind."
Everyone was flattered, quickly raised their cups, and drank them dry.
The Master Gods who had concealed their auras also feigned a toast in return, secretly observing the aura Gu Qing was revealing.
When they saw Gu Qing's primordial aura, they immediately felt a pang of heartache.
It seemed the Good Fortune Divine Marrow truly was the Great Dao's primordial essence.
Although the green lotus anomaly looked like a magical treasure, the Great Dao's primordial essence doesn't adhere to a fixed form; it can be a living being, the shape of a magical treasure, or the form of a divine medicine.
The primordial essence of the law isn't necessarily just a wisp of primordial gas.
Of course, no matter its form, primordial law is incredibly precious.
However, looking at Gu Qing, it was clear he had already refined it.
In such a situation, even if they refined Gu Qing, they wouldn't be able to extract much of the Great Dao's primordial essence.
"Congratulations, Lord!"
"Congratulations, Junior Brother!"
The members of the Star God Sect, seeing Gu Qing approach, quickly stood up to congratulate him.
Gu Qing smiled and responded to each of them. His gaze swept over Lin Mu, and he feigned surprise, saying, "Whose disciple is this? His talent is not bad."
"Junior Brother, he is my disciple."
Senior Venerable Fu Tian said with a smile.
"Martial Uncle, you flatter me."
Lin Mu said, flattered.
He considered his own talent to be rare in the world, but compared to Gu Qing, it was like the bright moon versus a firefly.
"Excellent, excellent. Not arrogant, not impatient. Cultivate well, and you will surely have a great fortune in the future."
Gu Qing was genuinely surprised now, because he had already seen that Lin Mu was a Son of Destiny, and he possessed over five hundred million units of luck.
The key was that Lin Mu hadn't devoured other people's luck and fate, nor did he have a star of disaster fate.
Lin Mu also didn't have that protagonist mentality of looking down on everyone like trash; he seemed to hold a respectful heart towards the strong.
Gu Qing quite admired this type of protagonist. If Lin Mu was grateful and didn't block his path, sparing his life wasn't impossible.
He didn't lack this bit of luck anyway.
Nor did he care for the opportunities and treasures on Lin Mu.
Thinking this, Gu Qing continued to the next table to toast. Seeing the three familiar figures, his smile faded.
Lin Mu looked at Gu Qing's retreating figure, his expression constantly changing.
"Disciple, what are you thinking?" Senior Venerable Fu Tian transmitted his voice, his tone stern.
"Master, I..."
"Your master knows you admire Junior Sister Xiao Hongdou, but I hope you understand that he is not someone you or I, as master and disciple, can afford to offend. Not before, and certainly not now."
Admire?
Lin Mu's eyes showed a look of recollection.
He did admire Xiao Hongdou; he had always admired her.
Back when they were desk-mates, she was the school beauty everyone adored, the top student praised by teachers.
And he was just a poor student, a cast-off of his family, too insecure to confess.
He only dared to secretly harbor his crush in his heart.
Now, after so many years of transmigrating to the Xuanhuan world, he had actually almost forgotten Xiao Hongdou.
But upon seeing Xiao Hongdou again, the admiration of his youth seemed to be rekindled.
Lin Mu now desperately wanted to know whether Xiao Hongdou was willing or coerced.
If it was the former, then he wouldn't say anything.
But he felt it was likely the latter.
Xiao Hongdou seemed to be beaming with smiles, but he and Xiao Hongdou were transmigrators, and the concept of monogamy was deeply ingrained. How could Xiao Hongdou serve one husband with other women?
If that were truly the case, then he... Lin Mu thought of this and slumped down dejectedly.
He couldn't do anything.
Doing so would be tantamount to killing his Master and Xiao Hongdou.
After all, this was a Master God, who could erase them all with a single thought.
"It seems you've thought it through."
Seeing this, Senior Venerable Fu Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction.
"Master, actually, I'm not even sure if it's her, and besides, it was for my crush on her, she probably doesn't even know me." Lin Mu's voice was bitter.
A crush, indeed, was just one person's internal turmoil.
Hearing this, Senior Venerable Fu Tian's mouth twitched, speechless for a moment.
He had thought they were a couple, but it turned out to be nothing.
This left him utterly speechless.
And he had worried for nothing.
"It's best if my disciple thinks this way. Later, I'll take you to see her once, to clear things up completely and resolve your inner knot."
"Ah, thank you, Master..."
..."What a coincidence, we meet again."
Gu Qing patted the tiger brother's shoulder, his tone neither warm nor cold, showing no sign of anger.
"Huh? I... have we met?" The tiger brother was flattered and then looked utterly bewildered.
He completely couldn't remember ever meeting Gu Qing.
"Hahaha, Brother Tiger is truly a busy man with a short memory. I still remember Brother Tiger's impressive demeanor at the trade fair."
Gu Qing said with a fake smile.
At these words, the two good brothers and the Great Filial Son immediately understood that the dragon-headed mask had been Gu Qing.
They instantly turned pale with fright, sweating profusely, cold sweat rolling down their faces.
"Haha."
Seeing that he had scared the three, Gu Qing finally felt comfortable. He toasted the Mother Yaksha, the Mother Tiger, and the seven fox sisters one by one.
After a few words, he left.
"Foolish."
The nine peerless divine women couldn't help but sigh and rub their foreheads, truly amused by their stupidity.
"Mother..."
"Sisters..."
"We're finished."
The three shivered with fear.
"Idiots, haven't you realized yet? He was deliberately scaring you."
The fox sister said, exasperated.
"Ah?"
"How could that be?"
"What kind of existence is Lord Gu? If we offended him, he..."
Thinking of how they had slammed the table at Gu Qing, the three felt like the sky had fallen.
"If he were to hold a grudge against you, how could you still be alive?"
"But you did make him unhappy, that much is true."
The nine felt quite good seeing them so scared, but ultimately, they were their brothers and the Great Filial Son.
Scaring them a bit was enough; they mustn't scare them too badly.
