Chapter 193: Precious Darling!
“Sir! You must not do this!”
“My Family Ancestor specifically instructed me back then that if the clan ever faced trouble, I should seek you out, and you would surely help.”
“So how can you now ignore my entire Wu family over the verification of a single talent!”
Wu Hong hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, his face full of urgency.
Seeing this, Gu Yue fell into deep thought.
She was pondering.
Whether this matter should be done at all.
After all, she also wanted to see whether Lu Qingyang’s talent was accurate.
If it truly was accurate, then raising him at her side in the future would surely prove greatly useful.
But if it was real, then wouldn’t the Wu family be finished?
Yet if things were simply left as they were, then according to Lu Qingyang, nothing would happen.
And she would gain no verification either.
After pondering for a while, Gu Yue raised her head and looked toward Wu Hong.
“Rest assured, this one will not ignore the Wu family.”
“However…”
At this point, Gu Yue paused.
“However what?”
Wu Hong’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked.
Gu Yue tilted her head slightly. “Don’t you want to know whether this boy’s talent is real or fake?”
“That… that’s impossible to know!”
Wu Hong said with a bitter smile.
Seeing this, Gu Yue’s heart stirred.
“How about this!”
“I have a plan. I wonder if Patriarch Wu is willing to give it a try?”
“What plan?”
“Listen to me first. If your Wu family truly faces disaster this time, don’t you want to know who is behind it?”
“So for that, you can leave behind some less important collateral branch clansmen, while the rest follow me and leave.”
“First, it can draw out the mastermind. Second, it can test whether this boy’s words are true or false, no?”
Hearing this, Wu Hong immediately hesitated.
But at this thought, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Clearly, he also wanted to know who was moving against the Wu family.
“Good! Then let it be as the Immortal Lord says!”
With that, he went to quietly arrange the clansmen.
Leaving only Gu Yue in the hall, sizing up Lu Qingyang from head to toe.
Lu Qingyang wore a calm expression on the surface, but inwardly he was full of unease.
Gu Yue sizing him up like this made him even less certain.
“Heh heh…”
Suddenly, a soft chuckle came from Gu Yue.
Lu Qingyang’s heart jumped, and he instinctively straightened his back, his eyes showing wariness.
“Boy!”
Gu Yue looked at Lu Qingyang and slowly spat out a few words.
“Please speak, Immortal Lord!”
“If you lied, your end will likely be very miserable.”
“Rest assured, Immortal Lord! Every word is true!”
…
Time rushed by. Soon, the core members of the Wu family quietly left the Clan Ground under Gu Yue’s help.
Not even many of the clansmen within the clan noticed.
Yet unbeknownst to them, shortly after these clansmen departed, an unknown danger silently shrouded the entire Wu family.
Several days later, a strange Human Immortal expert suddenly attacked the Wu family.
Slaughtering all the Wu clansmen left behind.
Only when asked the reason did they learn that the Patriarch of a rival family had broken through.
And when Gu Yue and Wu Hong, far away ten thousand li, learned of this, both their expressions changed drastically.
“Damn it!”
“The Wang family dares to be so brazen!”
“My Wu family never wiped out his Wang family before!”
Wu Hong said furiously.
“Patriarch Wu, calm yourself.”
“A First-Turn Human Immortal is not worth fearing.”
“Rather, this Young Friend Lu truly has deep fortune.”
Gu Yue was uninterested in Wu Hong’s words.
Revenge, once owed, was simply taken.
What interested her more was Lu Qingyang himself.
“Boy, are you interested in becoming my disciple?”
Gu Yue said with a smile at the corner of her lips.
“Huh?”
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang was stunned.
The Simulation process seemed to have changed quite a bit…
“This…”
“What? Unwilling?”
“Of course not!”
Lu Qingyang hurriedly shook his head.
Inwardly, he was actually calculating his future path.
“Since that’s the case, what are you waiting for.”
Clearly, Gu Yue was also unwilling to give up this precious treasure that was Lu Qingyang.
Seeing the opening, Lu Qingyang immediately bent down and bowed.
Saying: “Greetings, Master!”
“Good! Very good. From now on, you are my third disciple.”
“Third disciple? There are others before me?”
Hearing Gu Yue’s words, Lu Qingyang asked in confusion.
“Mm, you have two Senior Brothers remaining at home in cultivation. You will meet them once you return.”
“Alright, enough idle talk. Let’s go. Once we settle Patriarch Wu’s matter, we can head back.”
With that, Gu Yue brought Lu Qingyang and Wu Hong and flew off.
And as a Fifth-Turn Human Immortal, Gu Yue slaying a First-Turn Human Immortal was far too easy.
After helping Patriarch Wu take his revenge, she brought Lu Qingyang and began the return journey.
Several months later.
An Ancient Temple appeared before Lu Qingyang’s eyes…
That’s right. Though he had gone in circles and returned to the same place.
The circumstances were completely different from the Simulation.
First, he was now the disciple of a Human Immortal, incomparably nobler than the servant identity in the Simulation.
Second, in Gu Yue’s eyes, he was now a precious treasure.
Whatever he said, Gu Yue would absolutely listen.
Just these two points were enough for him to profit greatly.
Sure enough, the moment they returned to the Ancient Temple.
Gu Yue summoned the other two youths.
That is, Lu Qingyang’s nominal Senior Brothers.
After introductions were exchanged.
With a flip of her palm, she took out a jade bottle and a flowing, radiant flying sword from the Ring.
“Disciple, come take a look. This is the initiation gift I give you.”
Gu Yue formed a seal with her fingertips, lightly scattering a wisp of immortal power.
Instantly, the flying sword and jade bottle floated in midair.
“This is?”
Lu Qingyang was startled.
He could sense that these two items were not the sort used by ordinary Immortals.
“Inside this jade bottle is the Ascension Pill. Once you step into Great Vehicle, consuming this pill will let you rapidly reach Great Vehicle completion and ascend to immortality on the spot.”
“In the lower realm, it counts as a rare precious medicine.”
“As for this flying sword named Silver Moon, it is what I used when I first became a Human Immortal.”
“A second-tier immortal sword is enough for you to use for a long time.”
With that, she flicked her finger.
The flying sword and jade bottle slowly drifted toward Lu Qingyang.
Watching all this, both Lu Qingyang’s expression and heart trembled with excitement.
An immortal pill for instant ascension! A true second-tier immortal sword!
After all, though this second-tier immortal sword was not the kind of immortal treasure born with sentience.
It was not the mass-produced kind of immortal artifact either.
It was a genuine second-tier Immortal Artifact!
Moreover, its quality was excellent!
If he could bring it back to the real world, Lu Qingyang could hardly imagine to what extent his combat power would rise.
For a time, his heart was full of wild joy.
“Thank you, Master!”
At once, he respectfully bowed.
“No need for courtesy. I only hope you remember that no matter when, you are always a child of Gu Yue. That will never change.”
“If there is anything… you can always tell me.”
Gu Yue’s final words carried deep meaning.
Lu Qingyang naturally could tell, but he did not care.
As long as there were benefits to be had.
At this moment, he did not even care much about the later Return to True process.
Right now, he very much wanted to go back, find a few great demons, and give this Silver Moon a proper christening…
