919: The three sisters were badly cheated
“What a treasure of a mother-in-law…” Gu Qing exclaimed.
He wasn't marveling at Li Shishi's beauty, but at her cultural knowledge.
Gu Qing could tell that Li Shishi was almost becoming a goddess of wisdom.
Ever since Gu Qing opened a new world for Li Shishi, she had never given up exploring knowledge.
Li Shishi was now a walking civilization, transforming knowledge into power; her realm would continuously improve as her understanding of civilization and knowledge deepened.
“Smooth talker!” Li Shishi chided, feeling secretly delighted.
“Just speaking the truth, Mother. You are peerlessly graceful and uniquely talented. One day, you will become the supreme Lord of Civilization. If you pass on civilization, you will be immortal as long as civilization endures, and you will prosper as civilization prospers.” Gu Qing said with a serious expression.
“What a glib tongue!”
Li Shishi's dharma body was solemn, but anyone could tell she was secretly pleased.
“Let’s go!”
A group of six embarked on their journey.
The six disguised themselves as a family of six, concealing their cultivation and appearance, hiding their cultivation at the Celestial level.
Gu Qing swept his divine sense, found a large flying boat, and led the six to sneak in.
“You three go to the team-up hall yourselves and team up with other Void Wanderers. You are not allowed to use overly powerful divine abilities.” Gu Qing transmitted to his three daughters.
For training, of course, he would let them train themselves.
If he followed along, it would lose the meaning of training.
After speaking, Gu Qing also placed restrictions on the three, making their combat power similar to ordinary cultivators, and also sealed their Dao Pupils and Heaven's Eye secret arts.
After all, it was to let them experience the dangers of the world, not truly to let them find resources.
Of course, if they encountered danger, the restrictions would be triggered, blasting the enemies to death.
Gu Nian rolled her eyes and grumbled, “I knew it. You would definitely abandon us three sisters. You said you were taking us out to travel, but in reality, you just wanted to enjoy yourself.”
This daughter really couldn't be kept.
Gu Qing said faintly, “Words that are not conducive to unity, don't say them next time.”
“Hmph!” Gu Nian snorted, hugged Yan'er, and walked towards the team-up hall.
“A Qing.” Li Shishi really wanted to give her eldest son a good beating now. He was too lazy. Fortunately, she was worried and followed along.
“If Mother is worried, you can follow them, but be sure not to interfere too much. It's best to pretend not to know them.” Gu Qing said sternly.
Li Shishi: “...”
Forget it, she wouldn't disturb Gu Qing's world for two.
Li Shishi twisted her waist, leaving Gu Qing's sight with captivating charm.
“Cough, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Don't worry, with Mother-in-law guiding them from the side, they will definitely avoid countless detours and understand the dangers of the world.”
“I'm doing all this for their own good.” Gu Qing pinched her face and said so.
Although, He Ni knew Gu Qing was right, but this didn't stop her from thinking Gu Qing was cunning, lazy, greedy, and sly.
Luring his daughters out to train was just to shake off the burdens.
It was fortunate that Li Shishi followed along.
But then again, He Ni was tempted.
She also wanted to have a world for two with Gu Qing, undisturbed by anyone.
“Let’s go!”
Gu Qing excitedly took her to travel and view the wonders of the universe.
He Ni glanced at her precious daughter and thought, “Yan'er, Mother will come find you later.”
...“I say, fellow Daoist, even if you're poor, you wouldn't bring your child out to beg for food, would you?”
In the team-up hall, one of the old men glanced at the little chubby baby in Gu Nian's arms, his tone dismissive.
Gu Nian tightened her grip on Yan'er, saying nervously, “No need for senior to worry, I have my own divine abilities to protect my sister.”
Xian'er was also a drama queen, pitifully clutching Gu Nian's clothes.
Everyone in the team-up hall's eyes flickered, subtly paying attention to the three sisters.
“Alas, alright!”
The old man, with an air of a celestial being, sighed and shook his head: “The world is harsh, and cultivating the Dao is difficult, more difficult than ascending to the heavens.”
Looking at the compassionate old man, Gu Nian sneered inwardly. Cultivating the Dao was indeed more difficult than ascending to the heavens, but this definitely did not include her three sisters.
She knew without thinking that these people must have thought her family had fallen into decline and that she had come to the flying boat as a refugee. These people probably saw her as a fat sheep.
Sure enough, she chose a team-up mission to explore a ruin, and many people spoke up, requesting to team up.
Compared to entering ruins, where one faced certain death to find resources, robbing fellow travelers was an easier way to get rich.
Gu Nian had nothing to say about this.
She casually refined a basket, put the chubby sister in it, carried her on her back, held Xian'er's hand, and left the flying boat.
As soon as they entered the Void Ruin, they immediately used a 遁術 (escape technique) to leave their original spot.
“Chase!”
Dozens of streaks of light pursued relentlessly, giving the three a thrilling experience of being chased.
“Sister, they're catching up.” Yan'er nervously grabbed Gu Nian's hair.
“Hiss~”
“Sister, don't grab my hair.”
“Oh!”
“Let's fight!”
Gu Qing had placed restrictions on them, making it impossible for them to shake off these people, so they could only fight.
Gu Nian and Xian'er stopped with confident expressions, which immediately made the pursuers' hearts skip a beat.
Could these three be baiting them?
But since they had come all this way, they certainly couldn't leave empty-handed.
Upon engaging in battle, they realized they had overthought it. Although Gu Nian and Xian'er were strong, they weren't overwhelmingly so.
The two were suppressed by the crowd and suffered serious injuries.
After months of intense fighting, seeing that the two grew stronger with each battle and their divine abilities became sharper, everyone had to give up the idea of robbing them. They were there to seek wealth, not to fight to the death with the three.
Gu Nian's eyes flickered, and she proposed that they team up to search for treasures.
Gu Qing went to great lengths to have them train, precisely to hone their fighting will, temper their minds, and experience the dangers of the world.
And these Void Wanderers, who constantly sought opportunities outside, every living Void Wanderer had endured countless hardships and was cunning and treacherous.
“Good!”
Everyone readily agreed. In their eyes, the three sisters were just greenhorns fresh out of the mountains.
If greenhorns actively wanted to team up with them, there was no reason for them to refuse.
As for the friction just now... that was no big deal.
They had even killed other people's teammates and then teamed up with the survivors, so this bit of grievance was nothing.
When going out to seek treasures, life and death were fated, and everything depended on chance and fortune.
Time flowed by leisurely.
A hundred years passed in a flash.
Gu Nian and Xian'er had matured a lot compared to a hundred years ago.
After all, these Void Wanderers were truly too insidious and despicable, making it impossible to guard against them. They were almost tricked to death countless times, with various schemes emerging endlessly.
They were part of the adventure, but they could only watch when it came to dividing treasures.
“Damn it, these old thieves are truly hateful. After swearing an oath, they still managed to snatch the treasures and run away. They're not human and deserve to be without a connection to the Great Dao.”
Xian'er stamped her foot in anger.
She had been tricked so many times that Xian'er could no longer remember.
If one wasn't careful, the treasures would be stolen.
“The first time, the oath wasn't clear. The second time, the oath's punishment wasn't severe. The third time, they used a substitute talisman to swear...”
Gu Nian murmured.
She had clearly been guarding against these old thieves, yet she still kept falling for their tricks. These old thieves were simply too cunning.
“Alas! I'm having such a hard time...” Xian'er couldn't help but sigh, looking dejected.
Before, her strength was there, and she also had the Heaven's Eye secret art passed down by Gu Qing, which allowed her to see through all illusions and crush all conspiracies with her strength.
But now, having lost all of that, they were practically struggling at every step.
Without absolute strength, it was impossible to guard against everything.
“It's okay, what we want isn't this trash anyway. If sister is still angry, we can also use their methods to keep all the treasures to ourselves.”
Gu Nian rubbed Xian'er's little head, comforting her.
“Good, good.” Xian'er's eyes lit up. She decided that she would also learn from the barbarians to defeat the barbarians.
Gu Nian secretly smiled, her eyes flickering.
What kind of skill was it to trick these ants?
If she were to trick someone, it would be Gu Qing.
He made them sisters suffer so much, while he went off to enjoy himself. Just thinking about it made her gnash her teeth.
Yan'er slowly woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and asked in confusion, “Sister, do you feel a summons?”
“What summons?”
“It's... it's the summons of the power of the Great Dao.”
