The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader

On the second day, Chu Wan Ning received news that Xianshu Peak was hosting a banquet for all the peak masters and inner disciples today. The reason was that it was Gu Alu's birthday. By the way, she had an important announcement and asked everyone who received the notice to be present. Her tone was very firm.

The strange thing was that Fu Qian sent Chu Wan Ning a lot of things early in the morning, including spiritual fruits, pills, talismans, etc., too numerous to count. These spiritual fruits alone were enough for her and Huan Huan to eat for half a year.

Before leaving, he told her mysteriously that he had placed something under the Tianchi Lake and asked her to go to the bottom of the lake to get it.

Chu Wan Ning was half-believing and half-doubting, so she went to Tianchi Lake. Standing by the lake, she suddenly remembered the incident of fetching water that night, and her face turned red.

Chu Wan Ning formed a seal with her hands and released a beam of spiritual power. The surface of the Tianchi Lake then froze over and a staircase leading downwards appeared. Chu Wan Ning walked calmly along the staircase to the bottom of the Tianchi Lake.

The ice spiritual power in the ice cube emitted a blue glow, illuminating Chu Wan Ning's way forward.

As she moved forward, she gradually went deeper and deeper underground. About 100 meters away, she saw a shiny object glowing at the bottom of the Tianchi Lake.

As Chu Wan Ning got closer, she saw clearly this time that it was a water-blue spherical gem!

She held it in her hand effortlessly, as if the water droplet had always belonged to her. She did not show any resistance or opposition at all. Normally, treasures like this would be protected by barriers, but Fu Qian wanted her to come here, so what was the point of taking this?

Chu Wan Ning's ice cave was discovered by someone, and the person in it was Gu Alu!

When Gu A'lu saw the beads in Chu Wanning's hand, she broke Chu Wanning's ice ladder without saying a word. A large amount of ice and water fell down. Chu Wanning instinctively wanted to hide, but something very strange happened.

Under the protection of the bead, she was not hurt at all. Moreover, the water bead glowed and melted into her body. She looked inward and found that the water bead was suspended on her inner elixir, continuously providing spiritual power to her inner elixir. This was really a good bead.

With this water drop, Chu Wan Ning felt like she was on land in the water. There was a barrier around her body and her breathing was not affected at all.

She went ashore first, and Gu Alu blocked her aggressively and asked loudly:

"You are so bold, Chu Wan Ning, what were you doing just now?! Everything in Tianshan Sect belongs to my father, and you actually stole the core of Tianshan Sect! The Hunyuan Pearl!"

Chu Wan Ning didn't understand, as she had never heard anyone mention the Hunyuan Pearl.

Gu Alu, like a soldier who had made great contributions, wanted to drag Chu Wan Ning to see the sect leader. Chu Wan Ning also wanted to find out what was going on, so she followed her to the Tianshan Hall on Tianshan Peak.

As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Qingyao was reading the sect scroll in front of the desk. Gu Alu ran over, hugged Gu Qingyao's arm, and said as if to ask for credit:

"Dad, I just passed by Tianchi and caught a thief. Come and interrogate her!"

Gu Qingyao frowned, put down the scroll in his hand, and seemed very tired.

"Alu, stop messing around. Act like a disciple of the Tianshan Sect when you're outside. Stop pulling and tugging. Stand up straight and answer."

"okay……"

Gu A'lu curled her lips. She had always been used to her freedom and hated being scolded by Gu Qingyao the most. She would be scolded every time she came here. If it wasn't her birthday today, she would come to invite her father in person. She didn't want to come at other times!

"Okay, that's more like it."

Gu Qingyao looked at Chu Wanning at the door and asked curiously:

"Why is Wan Ning here too? Is there something you want to say?"

Chu Wan Ning was not in a hurry, calmly saluted to the headmaster and said:

"Master, Wan Ning ran into Senior Sister Gu in Tianchi. Senior Sister Gu thought I stole the Hunyuan Pearl, so she came to ask Master how to deal with it."

"Hunyuan Pearl? This object is the spiritual vein of my Tianshan Sect. All the sacred mountains of my sect rely on it for maintenance. But when the previous leader passed the throne to me, he told me that it has its own barrier, and even I can't get close to it."

Gu Qingyao explained, Chu Wanning was shocked, and she must not involve Fu Qian, so she replied:

"Master, I don't know why, but when I walked there I felt something was calling me, and then I saw the divine pearl under the Tianchi Lake, and it sat on top of my inner elixir. This is a major event for the Tianshan Sect, and I am ignorant of it, so I hope Master can teach me how to take it out."

Gu Qingyao's brows immediately furrowed, knowing that this matter was very tricky.

"Wan Ning, you cannot leave the sect before taking out the Hun Yuan Pearl. Otherwise, the spiritual energy in the sect will be exhausted and it will turn into an ordinary mountain. All the disciples will be implicated, and even the spiritual herbs on Yaoshi Peak will wither."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will follow your instructions and practice in the sect with peace of mind."

Gu Qingyao nodded. This was the only way for now. Perhaps he would have the chance to find other solutions in the future.

Gu Alu didn't care and said bluntly:

"Father, why don't we just dig her out? She's a thief anyway."

"Presumptuous! Kneel down!"

Gu Qingyao became furious when he heard what Gu Alu said.

"Oh, father! Otherwise, let's lock Chu Wan Ning up to prevent her from running away!"

Gu A'lu's mind was working quickly, and she was determined to take advantage of Chu Wan Ning and make her suffer.

"As my daughter, you should have a sense of justice and save all living beings! But you are not even a little bit like me! You are not worthy of being in such a refined place!"

Gu Qingyao's scolding made Gu Alu's eyes red. She felt visibly aggrieved, and tears as big as beans fell down. When she spoke again, she was already crying.

"I would rather not be your daughter! You think I'm bringing shame to you! But I'm doing this for the sake of our sect! What will happen to the Tianshan Sect if she leaves with the Hunyuan Pearl? Wuuuuu, you only know how to scold me, wuuuuuu!"

Gu A'lu stood up and stomped her feet angrily, then rushed out of the hall without looking back. She flew on her sword and turned into a ray of light, and went back to complain to her mother.

Chu Wan Ning stood aside, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Gu Qingyao sighed heavily, shook his head and turned away. After calming down, he spoke again.

"Wan Ning, don't mind what happened just now. Ah Lu is a child. The Hun Yuan Pearl must not fall into the hands of outsiders. Since it has recognized you as its master today, you will be the next leader."

When Chu Wan Ning heard this, her eyes widened. Did she hear it wrong?

"Me? How can I be the head?"

Gu Qingyao turned around, walked a few steps outside the hall, and said in deep thought:

“First, the Hunyuan Pearl recognizes you as its master, and this is an undeniable fact.

Second, my daughter, Gu Alu, has a bad character and is unable to take on this important task.

Third, Fu Qian has his own reasons and is unable to do the job.

Secondly, the peak masters of Cangjian Peak, Yaoshi Peak, Xianshu Peak, and Zayi Peak are not interested in this position."

Chu Wan Ning nodded, agreeing with the headmaster's statement. The head of Cangjian Peak was a martial arts fanatic and had no idea about the position of headmaster. But wasn't Fusang from Yaoshi Peak quite suitable?

Gu Qingyao spoke again.

"Don't worry, practice hard, and the position of the sect leader will be decided at the sect meeting. Just practice hard and learn how to manage the sect's affairs."

Chu Wan Ning suppressed the turmoil in her heart. This was the great gift Fu Qian gave her! She swore that she would ask him for clarification later.
