Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Ah-choo!” Among the crowd on Deer Horn Mountain, Gu Lingxue couldn’t help but let out a sneeze.
Immediately, concerned inquiries were directed her way.
“Sister Lingxue, are you alright?”
“Sister Lingxue, did you catch a cold? I have some Fire-Condensing Pills here. Taking one will make you feel better.”
“Sister Lingxue, did you train too much last night? With your remarkable talent and high cultivation, and working so hard, it’s hard for us to keep up! Just take it easy, Sister Lingxue. Otherwise, Master will scold us every day.”
“Really, you, being lazy and all, have the audacity to coax Sister Lingxue into copying your ways? If the Revered One hears about this, you might face some consequences!” The speaker then shifted his attention to Gu Lingxue, his tone turning as gentle as water, as if he had undergone a transformation. “Sister Lingxue, don’t pay him any mind. If you’re not feeling well, take a rest. There aren’t many powerful spirit beasts on Deer Horn Mountain. We, your seniors and juniors, can handle them. Just stick with us; no need to take matters into your own hands.”
“Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” Gu Lingxue hesitated.
“It’s perfectly fine. Sister Lingxue, your abilities are widely recognized. You’re fully capable of accomplishing the mission by yourself. You didn’t even have to join us on Deer Horn Mountain if it weren’t for a.s.sisting us. If a real threat arises, and we find ourselves unable to manage it, you can step in.”
Other disciples nodded in agreement.
Gu Lingxue nodded and flashed an affable yet proud smile. “I appreciate everyone’s concern.”
They all smiled and waved her off, telling her not to be so polite. Inside, they marveled at how kind and gentle Sister Lingxue was.
Having dealt with the crowd surrounding her, Gu Lingxue felt a sense of unease.
For some reason, she had a foreboding feeling in her heart.
At Qiankun Academy, she felt completely at ease. Her master promised her that after her cultivation advanced this time, he would gift her a sacred spirit artifact, helping her shine at the upcoming New Talents Tournament in three months. She shouldn’t have any issues on her side, so was it something related to the Gu family?
She recalled the letter she received from her mother a few days ago, her brows furrowing lightly.
Gu Qingluan hadn’t died, and she had become even stronger than her father.
This unforeseen twist of events had to be halted within Chengyuan Tianjing. Gu Qingluan must not be allowed to reach the Holy Heaven Dynasty at all costs!
The person she sent to Chengyuan Tianjing should be arriving soon.
In a soft murmur, Gu Lingxue uttered, “Gu Qingluan, if fate permits your survival and you still refuse to seek refuge in obscurity, persisting in your return, don’t hold me accountable for being ruthless.”
“I can take my revenge by myself; you don’t need to interfere!” Gu Qingluan sensed his anger and warned him not to disrupt her plans.
She had endured for many years just to personally kill Gu Lingxue.
She knew this man was formidable, afraid he would ruin her plans.
For the mistakes Gu Lingxue had committed, a hundred deaths wouldn’t be enough.
She wouldn’t kill her swiftly; that would be too easy!
She intended to take away whatever meant the most to Gu Lingxue. Her goal was to strip Gu Lingxue of everything, just as how Gu Lingxue did to the original host. She would leave Gu Lingxue with nothing and force her to give an apology to the original host in the underworld.
Feng Tianlan replied, “Fine.”
If this was what you wanted.
A sudden silence fell over the room.
Feng Tianlan lowered his gaze, looking at Gu Qingluan’s abdomen.
She protectively covered her belly with her hand. “What are you looking at? Do you think I won’t dare blind your eyes?”
Feng Tianlan didn’t utter a word, then abruptly turned and left.
The door swung open, and Yuanxi stumbled in. Before he could fall, someone caught him around the waist and lifted him up to the roof.
“Daddy, what are you doing? Let go of me!” Yuanxi regained his senses and struggled by kicking his legs..
