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

"Palace Master, Ji Ning, what brings you here?"

Gu Qing activated the formation and invited the two to sit down in the Star Gazing Tower, asking them questions with a puzzled expression.

"Ruyi and Ruyan are very talented. I have already taken them as my apprentices. I will be counting on you to take care of them from now on."

As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Gu Qing was shocked.

It's understandable that he took Liu Ruyan as his disciple, since she is a woman of destiny. Even if she is just a mortal, it's not surprising that he took her as his disciple.

But Liu Ruyi is a sinister and madwoman, cold-blooded and bloodthirsty.

Why would Jiang Yu, who yearns for the light, accept her?

Could it be that he doesn't know Liu Ruyi's character?

Thinking of this, Gu Qing quickly sent a telepathic message to Liu Ruyan and received the answer, which only made Gu Qing more puzzled.

I don't understand what Jiang Yu is thinking.

Gu Qing shook his head inwardly and did not investigate further.

He took out Ye Hao's divine artifacts, various magical treasures, cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, as well as the Phoenix Immortal Elixir.

These things are useless to him; he might as well hand them over to the Star Temple.

As for the Phoenix Immortal Elixir, he had already picked the fruit and had four left in his hand.

The next Phoenix Immortal Elixir will take tens of thousands of years to produce its result.

Refining the entire divine herb would be a terrible waste.

The Starry Sky Temple had shown him great favor by protecting him, and he could choose almost anything good from it. Gu Qing couldn't just take the benefits without contributing to the Starry Sky Temple.

Therefore, apart from the Crimson Sky Sword, almost all of Ye Hao's treasures were handed over to Jiang Yu.

"you…"

Jiang Yu stared at the mountain of treasures, speechless for a long time.

Ji Ning was utterly shocked.

Other things aside, divine medicines, divine artifacts, and sacred artifacts are rare, even those at the Divine Fire Realm might not have one. How did Gu Qing obtain so many?

Did they plunder the immortals' treasure trove?

"You're a good kid..." It's a pity you're not her disciple.

Jiang Yu put the things away, a look of regret appearing on her beautiful face.

What a fine disciple!

He actually became a disciple of that crazy woman, Zhi Meng.

"Good boy?" Gu Qing's face twitched.

Having lived two lives, he has now achieved some success and has several Daoist partners. He is actually being praised as a good child?

Is there any mistake?

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Her beautiful, clear eyes, gentle and tender, seemed to possess the magic to melt steel.

"No, you're not wrong." Gu Qing shook her head.

Jiang Yu is over three thousand years old; she's always right no matter what she says.

"You've been away for several years, how's your cultivation progressed? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Jiang Yu asked.

"good."

Gu Qing revealed his cultivation techniques, which were as deep and vast as an abyss, with boundless divine power, like an ancient deity.

The two were silent for a moment.

You call this "okay"?

Gu Qing's aura was profound and vast, exuding an innate and transcendent Daoist charm.

Those who don't know would definitely mistake Gu Qing for a primordial being.

"Gu Qing, you are the most prodigious genius I have ever seen. If you can maintain this level of talent, you will surely achieve great things."

Jiang Yu said earnestly.

"I've already achieved a great deal..." Gu Qing said silently in her heart, but humbly thanked him aloud.

"???"

Jiang Yu frowned and blinked her curled eyelashes.

What does it mean to have already achieved great things?

I always felt it was different from her understanding of magnanimity.

She shook her head; perhaps she was being too sensitive.

Gu Qing can indeed be considered successful now. As a King Realm expert, he is considered a strong person in the world.

"So beautiful, those eyes are so affectionate, even when looking at a dog..." Gu Qing felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Jiang Yu's eyes seemed to possess a magical power. When she looked at him, Gu Qing had the illusion of being watched by his gentle and virtuous wife at home, and he couldn't help but fall into her gaze.

"???"

What does it mean to be looked at by a gentle and virtuous wife?

A faint blush instantly appeared on Jiang Yu's fair skin as she looked away.

I was filled with remorse.

She awakened a divine ability called "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing".

This supernatural power can only be described as defying the heavens.

Like the eye of Heaven, it can see all things.

As long as it is a treasure or a living being whose secrets are not hidden, she can look at it with a single thought, no matter how far apart they are.

It can also eavesdrop on the thoughts of all spirits.

In addition, the ability to see and hear the heavens and the earth possesses unfathomable power, capable of annihilating a powerful enemy with a single thought.

However, she had only just awakened and was not yet proficient, so she accidentally overheard the two people's thoughts.

[Detected that the host's thoughts were being eavesdropped on by Jiang Yu. Triggered Super Anti-Armor, blocking the host's thoughts and counter-eavesdropping on Jiang Yu's thoughts.]

"???"

"Never mind, he's just a child. He didn't mean to offend me. I'll just pretend I didn't hear it," Jiang Yu thought to herself.

"???" Gu Qing looked at her in disbelief.

Who would have thought that the noble and transcendent Goddess Jiang Yu would do such a despicable thing?

"System, show me her attributes."

[Name] Jiang Yu.

[Realm] Peak of the ninth level of the Celestial God Realm.

[Physique] Primordial Purple Lotus Dao Body.

[Talent] Born with the Great Dao, possessing extraordinary comprehension and unparalleled talent.

[Destiny] Child of the Great Dao.

[Destiny] Variable.

[Fate] My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven.

"???"

"System, are you mistaken? If I remember correctly, once you surpass the Divine Fire Realm, you will be excluded by the Heavenly Dao Laws and guided to ascend to the Upper Realm."

"And what kind of nonsense is 'my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens'?"

Upon seeing Jiang Yu's attributes, Gu Qing's first reaction was to doubt whether she had misread it.

My second reaction was to suspect that the system might have made a mistake in its detection.

[That's right, her true form is the Primordial Purple Lotus, a child of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and she is one with all the Daos of Heaven and Earth. She can ascend whenever she wants, and the rules of Heaven and Earth will not reject her if she doesn't wish to.]

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens"—this literally means she can control her own destiny.

"..."

Gu Qing's heart pounded. She never expected that Jiang Yu's background was so extraordinary.

It is countless times higher than the status of the chosen one, and the two are not even comparable.

However, on the other hand, Jiang Yu is too cunning and shrewd.

He has always claimed to be at the peak of the Saint Realm, but his true level is far more than a hundred million points hidden.

Poor Zhi Meng, his master was completely deceived by Jiang Yu, who was also one of the peerless prodigies.

Thinking this, Gu Qing asked, "System, what level of treasure is the Primordial Purple Lotus?"

[A supreme treasure of chaos. The host is strongly advised not to harbor any ill intentions towards her. She is the embodiment of the Great Dao, the supreme Dao Venerable, the mother of all Daos, a being transcending all and above the void.]

"You mean, this isn't her true form?"

Gu Qing felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this. Even without the system's reminder, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Jiang Yu.

Unless he wants to die.

[That's her true form; she's seventeen years old this year.]

"???"

Godfather, please listen to me and stop making a fuss, okay?

Who's joking with you?

[She has lived through sixteen great annihilations of chaos, and this is her seventeenth incarnation. So, is there anything wrong with her being seventeen?]

"..."

Fine, if you say it's okay, then it's okay.

Looking at her stunningly beautiful face, Gu Qing suddenly felt an urge to slide down to his knees and hug her legs tightly. Why was that?

Holy crap, how terrifying is Jiang Yu, who survived sixteen great annihilations of chaos?

If he manages to latch onto a powerful figure, then he can roam freely throughout the myriad realms and boundless chaos.

"He looked at her, she blushed, and what would happen next, like in a picture book, would be him trembling, her body shaking, him giving her a domineering kiss, and her…"

"shut up!"

Jiang Yu rebuked angrily, her expression a mixture of anger and shame.

What kind of nonsense is Ji Ning spouting? It's so vulgar and unbearable to listen to.

"..."

Ji Ning blinked. She didn't say anything; she didn't say anything at all.

Could it be that Jiang Yu possesses the supernatural ability to read minds?

impossible.

Even if someone possesses the supernatural ability to read minds, as a Saint, their inner world is completely separate, making it absolutely impossible for their thoughts to be overheard.

Could it be...

"That's right, it definitely wasn't me. It must have been the two of them communicating telepathically. Gu Qing angered Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu couldn't help but shout angrily."

"Tsk, who would have thought that the most dazzling pearl in the starry sky would secretly fall in love with a young man? If word got out, the entire heavens would probably weep."

"I've brought the government officials here. Now, immediately, register my marriage..."

Ji Ning appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside she was incredibly excited. This live-action romance was far more captivating than any fictional novel.

Not to mention that this is a clandestine romance between the temple master and his disciple; it's like a picture book coming to life.

Just as Ji Ning was frantically imagining sweet nothings, Jiang Yu's face turned from red to white, then from white to red. She held back as she tried to suppress her emotions, but she was on the verge of exploding.

"Ji Ning, I see you are hesitant to speak. Is there something you want to say?" Her face was frosty.

If she hadn't awakened her ability to see and hear, she would never have known that Ji Ning was this kind of person.

"I have nothing to say."

Ji Ning was a little confused. She was expressionless, secretly scratching her head. Why was she hesitant to speak?

She always keeps in mind the truth that less talk means fewer mistakes, and not talking means more good.

Ji Ning thought for a moment and instantly understood.

This is because they think she's in their way and want to get rid of her.

"Sigh, it's such a pity that we can't watch such a wonderful love story."

"This is absolutely the biggest regret of my life."

With that thought in mind, she quietly left.

"???"

Jiang Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her gentle eyes turned angry.
