Chapter 180 A Gentleman Is a Person of Noble Character
"Rou'er, did you come to the Star Temple to see me? Or did Zhi Meng threaten you again?"
"No, I did not come to find you."
Luo Rou replied absentmindedly, feeling panic in her heart, as if she was being targeted, making her uncomfortable all over.
"Then what did you come to the Star Temple for?" Lin Xuan did not believe it; he had investigated Luo Rou's experiences over the past few thousand years.
Since the Zhuang family was wiped out, Luo Rou and Zhi Meng had been irreconcilable, with a bloody feud that could not be resolved.
If she didn't come to see him, she couldn't have come to see Zhi Meng, right?
As soon as this thought appeared, Lin Xuan immediately shook his head to deny it.
Luo Rou had been nurtured by Confucian thought since childhood and had a pure character; it was impossible for her to reconcile with her father's killer.
"It has nothing to do with you."
After the coronation ceremony ended, Luo Rou took Lin Chuqing and fled the scene, hiding on Starlight Peak and not coming out.
Seeing Luo Rou fleeing without looking back, Lin Xuan froze for a moment and smiled helplessly.
It seemed Luo Rou was still blaming him.
He had to find a chance to explain clearly to Luo Rou; with Luo Rou's understanding nature, she would definitely forgive him.
Additionally, others didn't know, but he knew very well.
Zhi Meng seemed to be bullying Luo Rou, but was actually urging Luo Rou to cultivate, viewing Luo Rou as more important than her own life.
Perhaps he could join forces with Luo Rou to deal with Zhi Meng together.
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and a plan formed in his mind.
With Luo Rou's strength, it would be impossible for her to take revenge in this lifetime; she could only rely on him.
If he helped Luo Rou avenge her bloody feud, Luo Rou would be incredibly grateful to him; when the time came for him to ask Lin Chuqing to transfer to his sect, Luo Rou would definitely accept with pleasure.
After all, the enmity of killing one's father was irreconcilable; how could a disciple compare to that?
"Heh!"
Gu Qing took in the changes in the expressions of both people and sneered in his heart.
He didn't need to ask to guess that Lin Xuan planned to use Luo Rou.
After all, as a protagonist, no matter how awesome he was, he still had to borrow the female lead's power to show off or protect his life.
It could only be said that Lin Xuan's idea was very good; this was also a common fault of most protagonists, killing two birds with one stone, or even multiple birds with one stone.
But with him around, Lin Xuan's ideas would remain just ideas.
"That's not right, Lin Xuan couldn't not know that Chuqing is my fiancée..." Gu Qing glanced at Lin Xuan from afar, thoughtful.
His relationship with Lin Chuqing had not been made public in the Star Temple; it had only been announced in the Central God Domain of the Desolate Ancient World.
But Lin Xuan was in the Divine Fire Realm; even if he had been to the Central God Domain, he wouldn't deliberately inquire about the trivial matters of the younger generation.
Therefore, Lin Xuan not only wanted to use Luo Rou, but probably also wanted to poach from his corner.
After all, protagonists were all selfish and self-centered, impossible to miss any opportunity to become stronger.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing was in a very good mood.
It seemed he didn't need to scheme against the soft-hearted Luo Rou anymore.
He only needed to offer appropriate suggestions at the right time, and Lin Xuan would court death himself.
Gu Qing thought for a moment and sent a message to Lin Chuqing, causing Lin Xuan to lose his wife and his soldiers again, fetching water with a bamboo basket in vain.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Are you thinking of doing bad things again?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yu narrowed her beautiful eyes, which were as tender as water, sent a sound transmission, and activated the Heavenly Sight and Earthly Hearing divine ability.
"...How could that be? I am a good person, determined to carry forward the Star God Tradition." Gu Qing replied righteously.
"Heh, do you believe that yourself?" Jiang Yu sneered.
Not having heard this bad boy's inner voice, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
"Facts speak louder than words; my fist-sized heart of repaying the sect can be witnessed by the sun and moon, and proven by the mountains and rivers..."
"Lies."
Jiang Yu listened, then spat out four words to summarize, and a mischievous smile appeared in her affectionate beautiful eyes.
"Don't hide it, tell me about it; perhaps if I'm happy, I might help you a bit."
Gu Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I want to kill Lin Xuan, will you help me?"
Lin Xuan had almost become his heart demon.
As long as Lin Xuan didn't die, he couldn't cultivate with peace of mind for a day.
However, his strength was limited, and the gap between him and Lin Xuan was too large.
He could only use external forces and employ conspiracies and schemes.
But Lin Xuan was the destined protagonist; using external forces to deal with the protagonist, even with all the advantages, Gu Qing felt unsure in his heart.
The only one who could steadily solo-kill Lin Xuan right now was the Jiang Yu before his eyes.
"No!"
Lin Xuan was too fragile; she could poke him to death with one finger.
However, the time to kill Lin Xuan had not yet come; at least they had to wait for Lin Xuan to obtain the Time Wheel.
It would be best to wait until Lin Xuan's divine soul had merged with the Time Wheel, then use Lin Xuan's divine soul as a sacrifice, to bring out the Time Wheel's true power.
Without the sacrifice of the divine soul of three lives and three generations, the Time Wheel could only exert the power of time.
The power of the years of the past and the future could not be used at all.
"Then forget it." Gu Qing knew it would be like this.
"Don't be anxious yet; I cannot take action, but I can teach you to possess the power to fight against Lin Xuan."
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes, glanced sideways at Gu Qing, and a hint of resentment appeared in her affectionate beautiful eyes.
This little bastard really had no patience at all; he didn't know how to say a few more nice words.
"Oh?"
"Real or fake?"
Gu Qing sat up straight; why was he so disbelieving?
How could a Venerable Realm cultivator deal with a Divine Fire Realm cultivator?
This wasn't realistic.
But this was only for ordinary people.
Gu Qing certainly hadn't forgotten that Jiang Yu was a super big shot who had lived for seventeen eras, an existence that had survived sixteen great chaos destructions.
For Jiang Yu's words, even if they defied common sense, it wasn't impossible for them to be realized.
Because Jiang Yu was the embodiment of truth herself, the humanoid Great Dao.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Follow me."
After speaking, Jiang Yu withdrew her gaze, swept her eyes over the entire venue, said a few polite remarks, and then took Gu Qing away.
Returning to Starlight Peak.
By the lake at the mountaintop.
Jiang Yu said, "Sit down."
Gu Qing obediently sat down, looking excited.
Possessing the power to fight against the Divine Fire Realm was much more cost-effective than having Jiang Yu take action to kill Lin Xuan.
If he had the power of the Divine Fire Realm, why would he need to rely on Jiang Yu to take action?
Additionally, Gu Qing vaguely felt that his lightning tribulation at the Saint Realm would be unprecedentedly terrifying.
He was just worrying about not knowing how to pass the tribulation.
Yet Jiang Yu suddenly gifted him a tremendous fortune; how could Gu Qing not be excited?
"Take off your upper garment."
"Ah???"
Gu Qing was stunned, blinking in confusion, wanting to confirm if he had heard wrong.
"Take it off."
The star dao robe was something she had spent a lot of thought on, studying thousands of patterns before finally deciding on it.
She didn't want to accidentally destroy the star dao robe in a moment.
This time Gu Qing heard clearly, and he was even more stunned.
Could Jiang Yu be planning to take the opportunity to insult and trample on him?
Did she want to use dual cultivation to pass on cultivation to him?
If that was the case... that would be great!
"Pa!"
"You are not allowed to think nonsense."
Seeing this, Jiang Yu's face turned red instantly, and she angrily slapped him across the face with a backhand.
Gu Qing rubbed the back of his head that was hit: "Hall Master, if you have something to say, say it nicely; striking out is not what a gentleman does."
"Which of your eyes saw that I am a gentleman?"
"Hall Master, a gentleman is a person of noble character; it does not distinguish between men and women."
"..."
"If you don't want to learn, forget it; I'm leaving."
"No, no, no, I'll take it off."
