The Huaqing Palace Sect Leader stroked her long beard, her dignified yet unsmiling face now had a hint of a smile, "Gu Qing, quickly come and see who they are."
Gu Qing's gaze swept across the two of them indifferently, and then answered: "I don't know them."
Huo Qishan was slightly taken aback, but Shen Zhong laughed out at the side: "Little girl, in the last year after Huaqing Palace, have you forgotten that you and my Ling'er are engaged?"
Gu Qing faced the other party with a gaze that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Really? I have never promised this engagement, so it can't be counted. "
Anger flashed in Shen Zhong's eyes, "The word of a matchmaker from my parents, there's no need for you to agree. Now that the Gu family is no longer here, I'll consider myself your elder." As he said till here, he turned to look at Huo Qishan, "The reason why I came to Huaqing Palace to look for Sect Leader Huo is also because I want to invite Sect Leader Huo to be the master so that I can help my two children get married as soon as possible."
Gu Qing clenched the hand that was hanging at the side tightly. Her eyes drooped slightly, and her voice was still cold and resolute, "I said before, if I don't marry, the Gu family would be in great trouble. I don't want to discuss this at this time."
After Huo Qishan heard this, his gaze swept across Gu Qing's face. He had heard of this girl before. Shen Zhong quickly saw Huo Qishan's hesitation and his brows sunk. He immediately took out a embroidered box from the Universe Bag and said, "Sect Leader Huo, I have been in closed door cultivation for a long time. Could it be that the last time at the mountain was a greeting?"
Huo Qishan stopped talking and turned to look at the embroidered box in Shen Zhong's hand.
Shen Zhong did not wait for Huo Qishan to extend his hand and took the initiative to open the box, "This box contains white jade ginseng, refining pills can extend one's life."
When Huo Qishan heard this, his muddy eyes suddenly burst forth with a shocking light. Shen Zhong laughed in his heart, the cultivation of the Sect Leader was stagnant, and his lifespan was reaching its end. She needed a few Spiritual Treasure to extend her lifespan, but how could the other treasures compare to the White Jade Ginseng?
He looked at the arm-thick jade ginseng in the box with a pained expression. He had only managed to get this jade ginseng from a secret plane a hundred years ago. He had been reluctant to take it, but now, for the sake of Cheng, he had no choice but to take it out. As long as Huo Qishan nodded his head, that little girl would be Cheng'er's dao companion.
A Dao companion of a Pure Spirit Body, coupled with Fang'er's talent, would definitely be able to reach Core Formation within a short ten to twenty years.
Huo Qishan didn't even notice Gu Qing at this time, his eyes were full of white jade. After a long while, he laughed and said to Shen Zhong, "Brother Shen is still as polite as always, coming straight away, why did you bring gifts? Don't worry, when Gu Qing and Wu Er gets married, I will definitely give them a surprise."
Hearing Huo Qishan's promise, his handsome face finally revealed a smile that said he was determined to win. He stared at the silent Gu Qing, whose exquisite face was even more moving than any female cultivator he had ever seen.
Gu Qing had her teeth about to shatter. This feeling was extremely similar to back in the Gu family, when she was just a lowly adopted daughter, she didn't have the authority to decide her own life. Initially, they had thought that after entering the Huaqing Palace, she would become an immortal. However, there was still someone controlling her life, so they didn't care about her thoughts at all.
At this moment, she wanted to become stronger. She knew that if she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Jindan Stage cultivator, Sect Leader Huo Qishan would definitely not agree to Shen Zhong's request so easily. Exchanging a Meditation Stage cultivator for a white jade ginseng, he basically didn't even have time to think.
Just when the other three were having a good time with each other, Gu Qing, who had been bowing her head all this time, raised it up and looked straight at Sect Leader who was holding the Huaqing Palace, "Sect Leader, even though I am only a Meditation Stage disciple now, I will definitely be the first person in this group to successfully enter the Foundation Establishment stage. Besides Yun Tian, I will also be the second person to successfully form the Core Formation stage in at least this period of time.
The threat in her words was not obvious, but everyone present was intelligent enough to know what she meant by her last sentence. But when everyone saw the assured expression on her face, no one doubted what a Meditation Stage cultivator was capable of saying such big words.
Huo Qishan also hesitated for a moment. Indeed, Gu Qing was the fastest cultivator in the younger generation, and might actually be able to become a disciple who could build her foundation or even form her core in the shortest time possible after Yun Tian. And this kind of disciple would definitely go far, condensing Nascent Infant or even advancing to a higher level. At that time, it would be easy for the other party to take revenge on him.
Shen Zhong seemed to be able to see through Huo Qishan's thoughts, and immediately sneered, interrupting Huo Qishan's train of thought. He stared at Gu Qing and said: "Little girl, you really speak big, do you know how many cultivators out of the ten thousand have successfully entered the Foundation Establishment stage? Tell You... It was already incredible if it could be sold for a hundred! And out of the hundred Foundation Period cultivators, those who are able to successfully form the Core Formation stage can be counted on one hand! "
This sentence not only mocked Gu Qing, but also woke him up. Huo Qishan regained his senses, then looked at Gu Qing who was in front of him and thought of how he had nearly been dragged by the nose by a Meditation Stage disciple just a moment ago.
Shen Chang interrupted, "Senior Huo, why don't you let this junior have a good talk with her."
Hearing that, Shen Zhong turned to Huo Qishan and said: "Brother Huo, let them juniors take care of it, how about we go out for a drink?"
"That's great!" Huo Qishan didn't even glance at Gu Qing. In his heart, he already left a bad impression that a Meditation Stage disciple would actually dare to contradict him.
Very quickly, Huo Qishan and Shen Zhong left the Heaven and Earth Palace, leaving Shen Chang and Shen Chang alone in the empty hall.
"Da …" "Da …"
Following the approach of the footsteps, Gu Qing's drooping eyes slowly lifted as she looked at Shen Chang calmly. "You think that if you use your white jade ginseng to speak to the Sect Leader, I will obey. Let me tell you, even if I die, I won't do as you wish."
Shen Chang chuckled, "Why do you need to talk about death? If you follow me, I will definitely let you experience the happiest things in the world. At that time, you might not be able to leave me alone. "
"Shen Chang, don't think that I don't know. If you want to marry me, your goal must not be simple."
Shen Chang knew that Gu Qing was far smarter than he imagined, so he did not refute him even if the other party had pointed it out clearly, "So what? You'll have to marry me, and now that I'm a little interested in you, you won't be at a disadvantage if you follow me. "
After Shen Chang finished speaking, he saw that Gu Qing had not made a sound, and thought that she was trying to compromise for a while, her voice also became softer, "The Gu family has been annihilated, no matter what you did in the Gu family's destruction, I will tolerate you, and even help you take revenge for Gu Lee and Gu Ya, is this not good?"
The corner of Gu Qing's mouth hooked up into a cold smile, "You should keep these words to coax fools for Gu Ya to hear." With that, she turned and left.
Shen Chang was startled, he never thought that Gu Qing's true nature would actually be so stubborn and unyielding. He stared at the other party's back and said: "Even if you walk out of the Universal Hall now, the outcome will not change!"
What answered him was Gu Qing's figure that turned around and left without even turning back.
He didn't know why, but the more Gu Qing resisted, the more interested he was. When he thought of how one day, this arrogant beauty would lower her head and softly cry in embarrassment, he couldn't help but feel hot and dry.
Gu Qing ran down the mountain in one breath. Huo Qishan accepted Shen Zhong's white jade ginseng, and decided that he would definitely not change his plans. If she did not think of a way during this period, he would definitely gift it to Shen Chang.
But how could a Meditation Stage cultivator like her resist?
Even though she had been forced to such a state, her eyes were still bright and she did not give up the slightest opportunity. She quickly thought of Senior Brother Wang Chong. In truth, she also thought of Yun Tian, but with Yun Tian's cold appearance, she was not confident that he would agree. Thinking up to here, she immediately summoned her Paper Crane and flew towards the Qingjian Peak.
After she left, Shen Zhong brought Shen Chang and said goodbye to Huo Qishan, "Brother Huo, we have decided on the marriage agreement, I hope that we can hold the dual cultivation celebration for the two children within a month."
Huo Qishan stroked his beard and smiled: "Alright, Brother Shen set a date to inform me."
's gaze turned towards Shen Chang, and said to Shen Zhong: "This child's aptitude is not ordinary, I'm afraid that he will not be able to do much compared to us, Yun Tian, who knows how long it will take for Gu Qing to have a dao companion like this, many people do not even envy her."
In terms of looks, in terms of talent, Shen Chang was not much. But who would think for Gu Qing? Firstly, she did not like Shen Chang, and secondly, if a girl lost her vital yin after not reaching Foundation Establishment, even if her talent was above average, her cultivation speed would gradually slow down.
However, when a person's strength was too low, no one would think from your point of view. As the adopted daughter of the Gu family, Gu Qing was well aware of this situation, so she didn't fight with Huo Qishan recklessly. Not only would she fail to achieve her goal, she was afraid that she would lose her last refuge, Huaqing Palace.
Since she didn't have the ability to fight back, then she would find someone who could help her fight back.
"Tap …" Tap... "Knock …" Gu Qing gently knocked on the wooden door.
She knew that if Senior Brother Wang Chong didn't go out, he would definitely be in the courtyard. Because of his unique temperament, he didn't like to cultivate in the cave and instead liked to live an ordinary life in his own small courtyard.
Sure enough, not long after, the courtyard's gate was opened from the inside. Wang Chong looked at Gu Qing with a face full of pleasant surprise. "Yo, little girl, you finally thought of your Senior Brother Wang after a few months?"
These past few months, she had been busy training outside. She had been busy with cultivation, and the only time she thought about it was that Senior Brother Wang had stopped midway because they met Yun Tian.
"Hey, is there something on your mind?" It was normal for cultivators to go into closed doors for a few years, he just casually mentioned it, but after he finished speaking, he noticed that Gu Qing's expression was strange, and was clearly different from the usual Gu Qing who was filled with confidence and vitality.
