I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 188: Such a great opportunity to shine!

"Alright, girl."

Gu Heng examined the painting "Heroine Dancing with Sword" for a while. The brushwork wasn't particularly delicate, but he wasn't too concerned about the details, since the little girl must be very tired.

The order has been received.

Qin Yiyao immediately collapsed.

"Ouch!"

She plopped down, clutching her aching back, her face full of displeasure.

However, she quickly jumped up and ran to Gu Heng's side to look at the painting made using her as a model. Her displeasure immediately disappeared. The painting appeared somewhat messy, revealing a carefree spirit amidst its unruliness.

Especially the woman's facial features, which are exactly the same as Qin Yiyao's!

The beautiful woman on the paper seems to be shrouded in ink-colored mist, with the sword blade and skirt appearing to flow gracefully as she dances.

The sword tip points diagonally to the sky, as if it is about to break through the clouds, while the woman in the painting has her eyes looking sideways, with a faint curve at the corner of her mouth, as if an indomitable and domineering aura is coming towards you!

And more importantly.

This painting possesses a profound and majestic Taoist spirit, as weighty as mountains and as boundless as rivers!

This is truly a stroke of genius!

This painting is so lifelike!

Qin Yiyao was mesmerized.

Bai Feier exclaimed in amazement, "Young Master Gu's painting... seems to be a return to simplicity, yet it contains a certain charm that I cannot fathom."

She had never seen Gu Heng paint.

I never imagined that Gu Heng would also have such talent in painting.

After all, it's a bit too much for a person to know a lot and be good at everything.

But Gu Heng seems to actually know a little bit about everything.

Refining medicine, forging... Bai Feier had been staying at the clinic for quite a few days and had seen his calligraphy scrolls. She dared not focus too much on the characters; if she did, it would feel like a sharp knife piercing her mind.

There are now multiple paintings.

Gu Heng smiled modestly, "I haven't painted for quite a while... but luckily I haven't become too rusty."

Then, he turned to Bai Mo and said, "Since Miss Fei'er wants to stay with me, I'd like to trouble you to explain things clearly to your family so that there won't be any misunderstandings."

Bai Mo immediately and respectfully agreed. Had a misunderstanding arisen?

If there's a misunderstanding, the Bai family will definitely suffer the most in the end.

How could there be any misunderstanding?

"Thank you, Young Master Gu."

Bai Feier bowed her head in gratitude, her obedient and docile demeanor making Bai Mo almost forget what kind of person Bai Feier used to be.

It seems that letting her continue to stay by Gu Heng's side is definitely a good thing.

It's about training your mindset.

At her age, she should learn to be more mature and composed.

"And as for Young Master Gu, the Bai family is also doing its best to investigate the Blood Shadow Tower and strive to give you and this young lady an explanation as soon as possible..."

This was Bai Molai's second matter.

Since the destruction of Qingfeng Baoxing, they have not stopped for a moment and continued to investigate Xueyinglou. They have already destroyed several branch altars, but they still cannot find the location of the main altar.

They couldn't catch anyone alive to question.

The Bai family was also worried that their poor efficiency might ultimately displease Gu Heng.

After all, Gu Heng did not personally deal with the Blood Shadow Tower.

It was obvious that the Blood Shadow Tower was too low-level to warrant his attention, but the culprit who attempted to assassinate his disciple had to be brought to justice!

However, so many days have passed.

If I can't come up with any good news to tell him...

"Blood Shadow Tower... I appreciate your concern, but if it's really difficult, you should think more about yourselves and not force anything. After all, the wicked will be dealt with by others."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be you."

Gu Heng didn't even have the thought of "wiping out" the Blood Shadow Tower.

The difference is too great. Unlike the local Qingfeng Baoxing, where even someone like him can pull strings to get things done.

Hearing that the Bai family was sparing no effort in investigating the Blood Shadow Tower, Gu Heng's thoughts were simple: this was a favor he "couldn't afford" to owe.

Although the Bai family might not care whether he, a mere mortal, could repay the debt.

So, just offer some verbal support and say thank you a bit more; after all, that's all he can do.

"Don't worry, the Blood Shadow Tower will definitely be wiped out!"

Bai Mo assured him firmly.

Young Master Gu's meaning couldn't be clearer.

Isn't it obvious that "If your Bai family can't handle this, then don't bother. Someone else will take care of it for me"?

It can't be!

If the Bai family doesn't seize this excellent opportunity to demonstrate their abilities, won't this young master Gu have more doubts about their capabilities in the future?

I need to go back and tell the clan chief to intensify the efforts!

"Dong dong!"

There was another knock on the door.

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, wondering who had come to visit again, while Bai Mo took the initiative to open the door.

When the door opened and Bai Mo saw who it was, his expression immediately turned serious.

It is Xiao Ling, the Supreme Elder of the Nianling Sect, who has recently risen to fame in Kuyun Prefecture and is now a newly transformed cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage!

He actually came too?
