The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Lin Chuqing was wearing an ordinary dress and a mask today, but her stunning beauty was still undeniable.

She exudes an ethereal, otherworldly aura, giving one the feeling of a fairy experiencing the mortal world.

Her phoenix eyes were clear, bright, and lively, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Gu Qing met her clear, black and white eyes and could see his own reflection clearly.

"Sister Chuqing is truly stunningly beautiful."

"loquacious."

Lin Chuqing was already immune to Gu Qing's praise, but she was still very happy, after all, a woman dresses up for the one she loves.

"Here, you can only open this when you are in seclusion."

Gu Qing gave her all the remaining monster liquid.

After all, she's his future wife.

Although he is stingy, he is very generous to his own people.

If the monster elixir runs out, just go to the Monster Mountain Range and hunt another batch.

"What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Lin Chuqing was curious; her intuition told her that the things inside were unusual.

I really want to return the things.

But based on her understanding of Gu Qing, she knew it was definitely hopeless.

"You'll see when the time comes. It absolutely cannot be opened before I go into seclusion."

Gu Qing said seriously.

"Ok."

Lin Chuqing nodded slightly, thinking that if it was too precious, she would return it.

Or exchange it for an equivalent treasure.

"Come on, it's been a long time since we went shopping together."

Practicing every day is really tedious, and those with weak willpower simply cannot persevere.

Sometimes when Gu Qing couldn't keep going, she would go to the bustling city to relax or go out of town to collect inspiration.

Lin Chuqing is back this time and I don't know when she'll leave, so I must take her to see all of Maple Leaf City.

For three consecutive days, the two visited almost all the attractions in Maple Leaf City.

That day, in the plum blossom grove outside the city.

The plum blossoms here are a special grafted variety, blooming in various colors all year round, looking like a sea of ​​flowers from afar.

As the sun sets, the two stroll through a plum blossom grove.

The boy was tall and slender, with unparalleled handsome features, including sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

His eyes seemed to contain the starry sky, deep and mysterious.

Wearing a long black patterned robe, he appeared noble and mysterious, with an extraordinary temperament.

The girl wore a crystal fairy dress with flowing ribbons, her slender waist as graceful as a water snake.

The two were like a match made in heaven.

"Sister Chuqing, when do you plan to go into seclusion after this seclusion?" Gu Qing asked with some reluctance.

Because he knew very well that Lin Chuqing's seclusion meant leaving Maple Leaf City, and he didn't know how long it would be before they could meet again.

He had originally planned to marry the fairy sister once he broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm.

But after learning that Lin Chuqing is the successor of the Reclusive Immortal Palace, why bother marrying her?

Gu Qing knew without a doubt that if she spoke, the people who had come to Maple Leaf City with Lin Chuqing would definitely take her away.

"Leaving in two days."

Lin Chuqing was equally reluctant, but this was not something she could decide.

She had already pushed herself to the limit by staying in Maple Leaf City for a few days.

The two reached the mountaintop and sat on a large rock, leaning against each other.

Gu Qing put his arm around her slender waist and said with a smile, "After I join the Star God Palace and achieve success in my cultivation, I will come back to marry you, okay?"

"it is good!"

Gu Qing's initiative to postpone the wedding finally put Lin Chuqing's mind at ease.

After all, the two had made a promise that they would get married once they broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm.

But her current situation simply doesn't allow her to do that.

It's not that her sect forbids her from getting married, but rather that they forbid her from getting married now.

She is still young, so she should focus on cultivation.

Getting married and having children too early will seriously affect the cultivation path of both individuals.

Lin Chu leaned on his shoulder, a sudden sense of absurdity rising within her.

She used to hate Gu Qing because he always dirtied her pretty clothes and bullied her.

Now I have to marry him and have his children... This feels...

It’s really hard to put into words.

……

After parting ways with Lin Chuqing, Gu Qing went to the Grand Elder's residence.

An old man and a young man were sitting inside.

"Congratulations, Master! Senior Brother Lin Yuan's cultivation has greatly improved." He cupped his hands in congratulations.

"Hahaha!"

"I was able to break through to the seventh level of the Divine Sea Realm thanks to your Blue Ice Lotus Seed."

The elder laughed heartily, stroking his beard as he looked at Gu Qing, becoming more and more satisfied.

"Yes, junior brother, if it weren't for your Blue Ice Lotus Seed, I would already be a cripple."

Lin Yuan was filled with gratitude. He had only consumed one-third of the lotus seeds, yet his foundation was completely repaired, and his physical bones had taken another step forward, allowing him to break through directly to the Qi Condensation Realm.

If he consumes the remaining lotus seeds, he will definitely go much further in the future.

It's not impossible to dream of reaching the Purple Mansion Realm.

"This is what I should do."

Gu Qing replied seriously, and then asked.

"Master, did you summon me back because you have something to tell me?"

"Yes."

The elder nodded, his face instantly darkening.

"That little beast deserves to die. If he doesn't die, I won't be able to eat or sleep properly."

"Just as I thought..." Gu Qing paused for a moment before saying.

"Master, I advise you to give up. Lin Chen cannot be killed."

"Why? Is it because of Lin Chuqing? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll do it without anyone noticing and guarantee you'll marry the beauty."

Gu Qing offered the Blue Ice Lotus Seed, so his loyalty was beyond question. Therefore, the Grand Elder did not hide anything and directly revealed his plan.

Gu Qing was speechless. This villainous, inexplicable self-confidence was truly something else.

After thinking about it, I had to come up with a reason to scare the Grand Elder.

"Lin Chen has a mysterious backer. Even if Master personally takes action, he cannot harm him in the slightest. Master should give up."

"Really?" The First Elder asked solemnly.

"nature."

Gu Qing also feigned a serious expression and continued to deceive.

"Master, don't you think about it? Two months ago, Lin Chen was still stuck at the first level of Body Tempering and couldn't break through. How could he have broken through to the eighth level of Body Tempering in just two months? No, Lin Chen is already at the ninth level of Body Tempering now."

The Grand Elder and Lin Yuan exchanged a glance, their expressions shifting between fear and resentment.

Clearly, they believed Gu Qing's words.

After all, Gu Qing's words were reasonable and well-founded.

"Then...am I just going to accept such a great humiliation?"

Lin Yuan said, still unwilling to give up.

"..."

You should be grateful you escaped with your life.

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment and then asked.

"But if Lin Chen doesn't die, our Lin family will be implicated by this little beast sooner or later. What should we do?"

Lin Chen is such a troublemaker. He's only at the Body Tempering Realm, yet he's already caused the huge Lin family to fall apart.

They also managed to offend several other major families in Maple Leaf City.

If one's cultivation level were even higher...

Hiss~!

The elder took a deep breath, unable to bear the thought any longer.

In all his years, he had never seen anyone so reckless.

"Let's see how things go before making a decision. If it really doesn't work out, splitting up is the best option."

If Lin Chen doesn't die, the Lin family will surely perish; even a god couldn't save them.

If Gu Qing were to kill Lin Chen, Lin Chuqing would likely discover it.

Lin Chen is not worth taking such a big risk for.

As for sending people to hunt down Lin Chen, that would definitely not work; he's the protagonist who always manages to escape danger.

After Lin Chuqing leaves, he can then kill Lin Chen.

However, he was unsure whether Lin Chuqing would take Lin Chen to another sect to cultivate when she left Maple Leaf City.

For now, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Separate?"

The grandfather and grandson's faces contorted in pain.

Gu Qing is right.

They couldn't kill them, and they couldn't drive them away; the only way out was to separate the family.

But this is just too frustrating.

A major family affair was forced to fall apart because of a junior member.

"Well, that's all we can do."

The elder sighed. Although he was reluctant, life and the continuation of his bloodline were more important.

"By the way, tomorrow is the Maple Leaf City's grand competition for the younger generation. Given that little bastard's arrogant personality, he might challenge you."

The elder said with a grim expression, "You must not accept the challenge. Although that little beast is arrogant, he is also very skilled. His swordsmanship is exquisite."

"If you're still upset, marry his sister and vent your anger."

"..."

Listen, is it human language?

Gu Qing: "I know what to do."

"Alright, I've always trusted you to handle things."

"This is a high-grade spiritual artifact armor that I obtained in my early years. It's useless now, so you can take it!"

The Grand Elder took out a piece of precious armor, which shimmered with spiritual light and was extraordinary.

Lin Yuan stared wide-eyed.

For him, a top-grade spiritual weapon is a priceless treasure.

However, he didn't say anything.

He even believed from the bottom of his heart that this spirit armor should belong to Gu Qing.

After all, Gu Qing was more talented than him and had been kind to him.

He understood that if Gu Qing became stronger in the future, he would also benefit from it.

"No need, Master, I have armor."

Gu Qing quickly waved his hand, not expecting the Grand Elder to give him his most treasured magical artifact.

“Master, I obtained my lotus seed from a severely injured Divine Sea Realm cultivator. It contains a high-grade spiritual artifact.”

Upon hearing this, the grandfather and grandson suddenly realized why Gu Qing was able to obtain the Blue Ice Lotus Seed; it turned out he had ambushed the critically injured and dying Divine Sea Realm cultivator.

The Grand Elder retrieved his spirit armor and asked, "Was it done cleanly? Are there any potential problems later?"

“It’s very clean. These are the martial arts techniques and some elixirs I found in his storage ring.”

"Master, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After putting down the storage bag, Gu Qing hurriedly left.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, he would be infected and turn into a mindless villain.

"This kid..."

The elder laughed and scolded, for he still had a lot to say.

Upon opening the storage bag, they were immediately stunned into silence.

There are so many martial arts techniques and miraculous elixirs inside.

Some of the medicinal herbs and fruits were even of great use to him.

Gu Qing killed hundreds of demonic beasts and naturally obtained a lot of spiritual herbs. He only gave away a small portion of them, keeping many for himself and planning to sell them for spirit stones.

All martial arts skills were given to the Grand Elder, except for the Tiger Soul Halberd Technique.

“Alas, Aqing has been honest, sensible and filial since he was a child. Why didn’t he keep more for himself? No, I must give him a good talking-to so that he won’t suffer a great loss in the future.”

The Grand Elder's expression changed several times.

"Grandpa, Junior Brother Gu Qing has been intelligent since childhood, why would he need your guidance?"

Lin Yuan said in a low voice.

"What do you know? How many good things can a storage ring in the Divine Sea Realm have? Ah Qing has definitely given away most of them. With these spiritual herbs, you can cultivate to the late stage of the Divine Sea Realm."

"..."

Is that much praise?

let me see.
