10: Jiang Yourong's imagination!

Inside the Chentian Hall.

After hearing the news reported by the Chentian Pavilion members on the Central Sky Island, Gu Qingchen merely waved his hand casually: "These are just some petty, insignificant tricks."

He didn't take Ye Wushuang's minor schemes seriously at all.

Is the Treasure-Seeking Mouse very formidable?

It is indeed decent.

Especially in finding heavenly and earthly Spirit Medicine, it possesses a unique advantage, one that even the heavenly and earthly treasure, the treasure basin, in his hand cannot compare to.

With the help of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, coupled with the elite Disciples he recruited first, Ye Wushuang's team results wouldn't be too bad.

But if Jiang Yourong truly is the Destined Female Protagonist, possessing a Heaven-Defying Luck or a Golden Finger that allows her to view life scripts and snatch Opportunities, then the Treasure-Seeking Mouse is completely insignificant.

However, it was clear that Zhao Linger didn't know where her Young Master's confidence came from, and worry still flickered in her beautiful eyes.

If it were just a simple arena competition, or even a life-and-death duel, she believed that with the Young Master's strength, he definitely wouldn't lose. But the variables in the current type of competition were simply too numerous.

Just as she was about to say something else, Jiang Yourong arrived.

"Senior Brother Gu, you've finally come out of seclusion?"

"Mm."

Seeing Jiang Yourong's active and bright smile, Gu Qingchen looked up at her, then lightly sipped the jade ink tea that Zhao Linger had brought over, his gaze becoming distant.

To be honest,

He had basically confirmed Jiang Yourong's identity as the Destined Female Protagonist, but the only things he couldn't yet confirm were her Golden Finger, and... why she was so enthusiastic toward him, almost like she was desperately trying to throw herself at him!

"Could I have guessed wrong?"

Gu Qingchen even suspected that he wasn't holding the script of a major villain, but the script of a destined protagonist.

But that's not right either.

After all, which destined protagonist's younger sister would gouge out the eyes of another destined protagonist?

"However, there is another possibility: her Golden Finger is a System that allows her to view life scripts. She knows about future Opportunities through the System, and these Opportunities can be obtained more easily with my help, just like that divine ability fruit tree..."

Thinking of this, Gu Qingchen's thoughts suddenly opened up: "It's even possible that the Opportunity related to the divine ability fruit tree was originally mine, but she informed me of it in this way, using my own Opportunity to gain my favor?"

"S-Senior Brother?"

Jiang Yourong was a bit bewildered.

From her perspective, she had merely called out "Senior Brother" and expressed her concern, yet the look in Gu Qingchen's eyes above seemed to have changed.

"What exactly happened?"

Jiang Yourong was completely baffled: "Why does Senior Brother Gu look at me so strangely?

C-Could Senior Brother think I like him?"

Alright.

Although Jiang Yourong admitted she did have a little bit of affection for Senior Brother Gu, wasn't that perfectly normal?

Among the hundreds of thousands of female Disciples in the entire Xuantian Holy Land, which one could be completely indifferent to Senior Brother Gu?

Jiang Yourong truly couldn't stand this gaze, and she couldn't help but lower her head in embarrassment, a slight blush rising on her jade-like cheeks.

However, in Gu Qingchen's eyes, this was a manifestation of Jiang Yourong's guilty conscience, meaning his guess was likely spot on.

Fortunately, Jiang Yourong couldn't eavesdrop on his thoughts and didn't know what Gu Qingchen was thinking.

Otherwise, she would truly be angered to the point of spitting blood.

Although she did approach Gu Qingchen with certain intentions, it definitely wasn't to snatch his Opportunities.

Gu Qingchen's Opportunities were simply too high-level.

Even if she wanted to snatch them, she couldn't!

What kind of evil intentions could a pure sixteen-year-old girl like her have? At most, she just wanted to test whether Senior Brother Gu's "Prosperous Wife" fate was truly effective.

"Jiang Yourong, do you know about the Pavilion of Prince Teng?"

At this moment, Gu Qingchen suddenly asked.

Originally, he wanted to say "Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron" to see Jiang Yourong's reaction.

But after thinking about it, that would be too abrupt and counterproductive.

"The Pavilion of Prince Teng?"

Jiang Yourong blinked, confused: "Is that a pavilion in our Xuantian Holy Land?"

"What about the Yellow Crane Tower?"

"Yellow Crane Tower? We have a place like that in our Holy Land?"

Jiang Yourong scratched her head, her small face looking confused: "I haven't been in the Holy Land for long, I really don't know about any Yellow Crane Tower, I only know about White Crane Valley."

"Mm, it's nothing."

Gu Qingchen suddenly moved, instantly appearing right in front of Jiang Yourong, the distance between them less than half a foot.

Before Jiang Yourong could react, Gu Qingchen raised a finger and tapped her glabella.

Instantly, a cool and clear Qi flowed through her entire body, making her feel completely comfortable. She couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Realizing what she had done, she immediately blushed crimson.

"S-Senior Brother, what did you just do?"

"It was nothing."

Gu Qingchen, who had returned to his seat without her noticing, chuckled: "It's just that you are about to participate in the Underground Cave Trial, and I was worried about your safety, so I reinforced you with three Divine Abilities.

These three Divine Abilities can protect you. If I sense that they have all been triggered, I will personally rush over to save you."

"Senior Brother!"

Jiang Yourong was so moved that her eyes turned slightly red.

As an unvalued concubine daughter of the Jiang Family, this was the first time she felt valued, noticed, and cared for.

"That's enough."

Gu Qingchen waved his hand gently: "You should go register for this Underground Cave Trial at the Central Plaza first. I will arrive shortly."

After watching Jiang Yourong leave with a joyful mood, Zhao Linger softly asked, "Has Young Master finished testing Junior Sister Jiang?"

"Indeed."

Gu Qingchen nodded: "Although she cannot be treated as a confidante like you, she can be given more trust."

That tap he just gave Jiang Yourong not only reinforced her with three Divine Abilities but also thoroughly checked her condition.

She is not a Transmigrator, she has not suffered Possession, nor has any other hidden scheme been planted on her. She should simply be a Destined Female Protagonist who obtained a Golden Finger, such as viewing scripts or snatching Opportunities.

Approaching him was probably just for Opportunity.

"For the Opportunities I possess?"

Gu Qingchen smiled faintly: "I've also set my sights on your Golden Finger..."

...At the same time.

Above the Central Sky Island, several sounds of rushing wind rang out, and immediately, several figures appeared in the sight of the numerous Disciples.

The person leading them wore black clothes and exuded an aura of arrogance and dominance.

"Saint Ye Wushuang has arrived!"

Whoosh!

The entire massive Floating Island instantly erupted in excitement!

"Saint! Saint, I want to join your team!"

"Senior Brother Ye, I am Lu Huanyu, ranked seventh on the Inner Gate Mountain River Ranking. I am absolutely qualified to join your team!"

"..."

Seeing the enthusiastic scene before him, a smug smile involuntarily appeared on Ye Wushuang's cold and arrogant face.

"Gu Qingchen, let's see how you compete against me this time!"

...
