79: What a smart woman.

"Saint, have you rested?"

Palace Hua Hao stood outside the treasure building with a respectful demeanor, his voice filled with humility.

"Come in!"

After receiving Su Shengyuan's permission, Palace Hua Hao then led Gong Yingying to push open the courtyard gate and slowly walked in.

Gong Yingying walked behind Palace Hua Hao, her divine face showing obvious nervousness, and her heart was filled with both trepidation and excitement.

Her gaze crossed Palace Hua Hao and fell upon Su Shengyuan, and her expression instantly froze.

Under the hazy moonlight, Su Shengyuan, clad in a brocade robe, was enveloped in a layer of precious radiance, like a divine being, looking down upon the eons of time.

His temperament was calm and reserved, his face handsome and unparalleled, gentle and refined.

Every gesture exuded a tranquil and steady power, showcasing a graceful and composed charm, and even revealing a handsome air of detachment from the world.

At this moment, Gong Yingying's heart felt as if it had been tightly gripped by a large hand, making her unable to breathe.

As a proud daughter of Heaven, she had seen countless young talents, but compared to Su Shengyuan in her eyes, those young talents seemed extraordinarily ordinary.

Even Chu Tiange was like this; there was simply no possibility of comparison with Su Shengyuan.

"Greetings, Saint. This is my humble daughter, Gong Yingying. Hearing that the Saint condescended to descend upon Tianyan Holy Land, she insisted on pestering me to bring her to meet the Saint."

Palace Hua Hao bowed to Su Shengyuan, speaking cautiously, fearing to displease Su Shengyuan.

Seeing that Gong Yingying was still stunned standing there, he secretly tugged at her.

Gong Yingying awoke as if from a dream. After regaining her senses, she immediately bowed, "Yingying greets the Saint. It is said that the Saint is unparalleled in the world, but upon seeing you today, I realize that such rumors are ultimately untrustworthy."

Palace Hua Hao's face changed drastically as he listened to Gong Yingying's words.

What nonsense was this dead girl spouting?

Where had her usual sharp wit gone?

Why did she directly confront the Saint upon meeting him?

However.

Gong Yingying's next words made Palace Hua Hao almost burst into laughter, and his mood completely relaxed again.

"The Saint's Aptitude is truly not that of a Mortal. It is like an ancient Great Emperor, wielding control over the vast starry sky, or like a Confucian Saint, tranquil and composed. Your refined temperament is truly admirable, and how can a mere phrase like 'unparalleled in the world' describe it?"

They say girls who smile often have good Luck.

But little did they know, intelligent girls have incredibly overflowing Luck.

This flattery, once delivered, made Su Shengyuan feel as if he had drunk sweet dew, utterly comfortable.

He looked up at Gong Yingying, a faint smile gracing his handsome and unparalleled face, "You flatter me. The Saintess is graceful and beautiful, capable of toppling nations, her divine beauty like a poem and a painting. For the Holy Revered Master to have such a beloved daughter is truly a great fortune for the Holy Revered Master, and a great fortune for Tianyan Holy Land."

Indeed!

Every Luck-blessed heroine associated with the Son of Destiny was devastatingly beautiful, a Fairy of captivating allure.

Su Shengyuan's attitude towards Gong Yingying was naturally for the sake of his upcoming plans.

If the Luck-blessed heroine and the Son of Destiny were to fall out, the subsequent events might become much more interesting.

"Thank you for the Saint's praise!" Gong Yingying maintained a smile throughout, her demeanor elegant, without the slightest hint of sycophancy.

Although her previous words had a hint of flattery, they were all Gong Yingying's genuine feelings and had not been exaggerated.

"Interesting, interesting. With the Saintess in Tianyan Holy Land, how can it not prosper? Haha, to have met the Saintess, this Saint is truly fortunate in three lifetimes."

Su Shengyuan chuckled and tapped the stone table.

Gong Yingying immediately understood, took graceful steps forward, picked up the wine pot, and filled Su Shengyuan's cup.

Upon seeing this, Palace Hua Hao immediately cupped his hands and said, "Saint, this humble one shall go to the front hall first."

"Go, go! Holy Revered Master, feel free. Be sure to entertain the guests well."

"Yes, Saint! This humble one takes his leave!"

After Palace Hua Hao left the small courtyard, he walked very slowly, seemingly listening for something.

When he heard the laughter emanating from Su Shengyuan and Gong Yingying.

Palace Hua Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, his steps involuntarily quickening slightly, and his figure slowly disappeared.

.........

In the small courtyard!

Su Shengyuan's demeanor and conversation completely captivated Gong Yingying.

Gong Yingying also transitioned from initial nervousness and apprehension to a relaxed and comfortable state, chatting casually with Su Shengyuan about her experiences in the ancient sand domain.

The two were like close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, becoming more and more congenial as they talked, wishing they could talk all night.

"The Saintess and that Chu Tiange, it can be said that the man is interested and the woman is willing," Su Shengyuan suddenly said meaningfully.

Gong Yingying was slightly startled, looking at the inexplicable coldness flickering in Su Shengyuan's eyes, and her heart tightened again.

It was as if being with a ruler was like being with a tiger!

One moment he was laughing, the next he was chillingly cold, his moods unpredictable. Such a person was the most terrifying.

She had naturally heard from Chu Tiange about the grievances between Chu Tiange and Su Shengyuan.

However, in Chu Tiange's description, Su Shengyuan was so shameless and despicable.

He snatched his childhood sweetheart, threatened his Revered Master, and even gathered many forces from Heavenly Ancient Holy City to annihilate the Chu family, leaving no blade of grass untouched and blood flowing like rivers.

At that time, Gong Yingying clearly felt Chu Tiange's frustration and hatred.

He was practically consumed by maddening hatred! Unable to forget!

However, after meeting Su Shengyuan today, Gong Yingying began to have some doubts about Chu Tiange's words.

How could such a refined and elegant person have such a character of bullying men and women?

Of course, whatever animosity existed between Chu Tiange and Su Shengyuan, Gong Yingying felt it had nothing to do with her.

Her attitude towards Chu Tiange was purely based on her appreciation of his talent and Aptitude; it had not yet reached the stage of deep affection.

This was naturally due to Su Shengyuan's continuous facilitation for Chu Tiange.

If Chu Tiange had been allowed to complete his series of face-slapping and show-off actions in the Ancient Hall at that time, it might indeed have captured Gong Yingying's heart.

"What do you think of me and Chu Tiange, Saint?" Gong Yingying was a clever woman. After regaining her composure, she did not explain her relationship with Chu Tiange but instead asked with a smile.

What a clever woman!

Su Shengyuan couldn't help but praise her inwardly.

His eyes still flickered with a hint of coldness.

"I presume the Saintess already knows about the grievances between this Saint and Chu Tiange. Speaking of which, he is now considered this Saint's disciple. Alas, this Rebellious Disciple is far too conceited."

Su Shengyuan shook his head and said no more.

He had already made Gong Yingying slightly suspicious of Chu Tiange's character, and that was enough.

The rest of the matter would naturally be told to Gong Yingying by others.

"Regardless of whether the Saintess likes him or values his talent, this Saint will speak a fair word: character is the most important thing for a person."

With that!

Su Shengyuan issued a polite dismissal.

Gong Yingying smiled, bowed slightly, "It was a pleasure conversing with the Saint today. May the Saint rest early."

Gong Yingying walked out slowly, carrying some doubts.

She truly wanted to know now what exactly happened between Chu Tiange and Su Shengyuan, and whether it was truly as he described.

If so, Su Shengyuan would truly be terrifying!

He would be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

However, before leaving, she looked at Su Shengyuan once more, as if wanting to engrave his figure in her heart.

After all, Su Shengyuan's appearance, or rather the temperament of his demeanor and conversation, was simply not something ordinary people could resist.

After Gong Yingying left.

Su Shengyuan calculated the time, stepped into the air, and, bathed in holy moonlight, flew towards another treasure building.
