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

Chapter 200: Are you just making fun of me?

However, no sooner had he finished cursing the system than mud from the roof hit him on the head, and Gu Heng began to wonder if the system was behind it.

But it deserves to be scolded; after all, it didn't learn how to improve itself.

After venting his frustrations to the system, Gu Heng patted the mud off his head, then went to the well, drew some water, and washed his hair.

After Qin Yiyao finished a set of sword moves, she exhaled a breath of stale air and then sheathed her sword.

"Yes, you're getting more and more skilled."

She thought to herself.

Lately, I've been getting better and better at swordsmanship, and my cultivation level is also increasing faster and faster!

Having died and been reborn, she had lost some of her memories from long ago, and she didn't even remember how her bloodline was activated.

If this bloodline of the remnant race cannot be activated, her cultivation speed will be very slow.

but.

After being assassinated and seriously injured, and with her master's healing efforts, her bloodline as a descendant of the immortal race was reawakened. In addition, she had been practicing the Body Technique book that her master had given her...

Perhaps, this is the "opportunity".

Break and stand!

Qin Yiyao is now at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Since she was able to cultivate, in just three months, she has accomplished what top geniuses typically take more than ten years to achieve.

She also began to practice the "Asking the Emperor's Heart Technique" again.

When he first obtained this cultivation manual, he saw within it a method to ascend to the Immortal Realm. It involved establishing an unprecedentedly powerful dynasty, leveraging the strength of millions of people to break through shackles, and then entering immortality. Qin Yiyao had tried to do just that, but she failed. She was already at the ninth level of the Supreme Saint Realm, just a hair's breadth away from the tenth level, and then…

And that was the end of it.

To save her life, she gave up everything.

Now, there is no Qin Dynasty, no Qin army that once shook the world.

However, Qin Yiyao felt that she had a better chance in this life because she had the most important person in her life, her master, who had already ascended to the immortal realm.

Moreover, he spoils himself a lot.

No one used to pamper her, and even after she grew up, no one was qualified to pamper her anymore. She worked hard and struggled, but in the end, things still didn't go as planned.

Now it's completely different. She no longer needs to be alone like before, no longer needs to worry about how to survive until tomorrow.

This feeling is really nice.

"It looks better and better with practice."

When Qin Yiyao heard Gu Heng clapping, she looked up and immediately lowered her head shyly.

"Girl, would you like to go somewhere else?"

After a long silence, Gu Heng asked.

"Where?"

“I don’t know, um…Isn’t Fei’er going to participate in the Imperial Grand Competition? The capital must be very lively there. If you feel bored staying here all the time, we can go out and have a look.”

That's why Gu Heng asked that question.

It was because when Bai Feier said she was going to the capital to participate in the Imperial Competition, Qin Yiyao, though expressionless, actually understood—as someone who had once dreamed of cultivating but whose passion had been extinguished by the cold system and reality.

This little girl must really yearn for the life of a cultivator!

However, by following me and just drifting through life in Yunling City, I won't be able to become a cultivator.

He was only a mortal and couldn't tell whether others had cultivation talent. Besides, Gu Heng actually liked this kind of life, at least he wasn't alone like before.

Gu Heng felt somewhat guilty. After all, what if this girl was a once-in-a-century genius? Wouldn't he be ruining her future?

Moreover, she is young.

They should see more of the outside world.

Taking her out for a walk would be a good idea.

"Why did Master suddenly bring this up?"

Qin Yiyao came to his side, sat down, and tilted her head to look at him.

Gu Heng pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Don't you think it's quite boring to stay in Yunling City all the time?"

"..."

Qin Yiyao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Gu Heng: "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"

"No."

Qin Yiyao shook her head. "I just find it a little strange."

Gu Heng frowned.

"What's weird?"

Qin Yiyao thought for a moment and said, "I didn't think Master was that thoughtful."

She was genuinely bored in Yunling City, because this small place no longer offered her the space to fully display her talents. Her cultivation progressed at lightning speed, and soon even the Sun Flame Dynasty would no longer be a suitable stage for her.

So, it was indeed stifling, and besides, her beloved master was originally a recluse in the mortal world and didn't consider these things.

He was long past the age of being full of passion and determined to make a name for himself, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this place to live in seclusion.

But Qin Yiyao is a reborn person, and she is determined to continue to make the great Qin Dynasty and the Holy Yao Emperor's fame resound throughout the Xuan Tian Realm once again, just like before!

She longed for this.

However, Gu Heng seemed to have been touched on a sensitive spot.

Am I not perceptive enough?

He squinted, then reached out and scratched Qin Yiyao's soft waist, making her giggle.

"Oh, Master, have mercy! I misspoke..."

Qin Yiyao pleaded for forgiveness, her watery eyes filled with a playful yet reproachful charm, her beauty almost irresistible. "I buy you new clothes every week, isn't it because I specifically know you're still growing? And when you have your period, don't I always make you light and nourishing meals? Besides, you can't even wash your own clothes, I have to wash all the dirty things on your body, and you still dare to say I'm not thoughtful..."

Gu Heng smiled and let go of her hand. "So? Would you like to go out for a stroll with your teacher?"

Her face flushed slightly.

Then he nodded slightly.

"think……"

"Alright, let's pick a good day and set off."

Gu Heng got up, preparing to go back to the back room to get busy, and before leaving, he didn't forget to give her a sharp tap on the head.

"Stop teasing your master in the future, or I'll let you experience what it's like to not be able to sit in a chair for a week."

Qin Yiyao covered her forehead, pouting with a wronged expression. "Petty!"

Gu Heng turned his head, his gaze sinister.

Qin Yiyao quickly covered her mouth.
