"Senior Brother Wang, there is one thing I really do not know who I can find to help me with, if you can help me, Gu Qing will definitely remember your kindness." Gu Qing's eyes were slightly red as she stared at Wang Chong. Wang Chong was her last hope, and she was afraid that he would give her a negative answer.
When Wang Chong heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, and then, he took a step back and said. "Silly girl, what nonsense are you spouting?
Gu Qing took a deep breath, and followed behind Wang Chong into the courtyard. Wang Chong took a step forward and sat down on the stone bench.
Wang Chong smiled, and became intimate like a big brother, "Silly girl, what happened? "I don't think you're an easy target."
Gu Qing stared at Wang Chong's trusting eyes, and gently shook his head, "In front of absolute strength, no matter how hard you try, it is useless. Senior Brother, Sect Leader has already promised to marry me to Shen Chang, and I don't really like him, so I wanted to ask Senior Brother to help me push this marriage over. "
After Wang Chong heard this, he found it hard to believe. "Shen Chang of Xuanhua Sect wants to marry you, Sect Leader has already agreed to it?" His reaction was very normal, and Shen Chang's reputation had skyrocketed among the younger generation. Logically speaking, with his outstanding Cultivation Realm and decent strength, there should have been many fairies, enough for Shen Chang to pick from, but why would he specifically come to Xuanhua Sect for the marriage?
It was not because Wang Chong felt that he was unworthy of Shen Chang, but the contrary, he felt that Gu Qing had an outstanding complexion and an open personality, no matter how one looked at it, he was extremely good. However, according to common sense, the reputation of Shen Chang was not shallow, why would he waste his dao companion spot on a normal disciple who did not have any background and whose cultivation could not be considered as outstanding?
Gu Qing nodded, then frowned and asked: "Other than him saying that he wanted to marry you, did he say anything else?"
Seeing that, Gu Qing knew that Senior Brother Wang had guessed that Shen Chang's motive for marrying her was not simple.
"He didn't say anything, but Qing Shui didn't want to marry him even though he had his own background." There were too many secrets on her body, and she was worried that it wouldn't benefit Senior Martial Brother Wang to know too much.
Wang Chong thought for a moment, then said: "Since you don't like him, then Senior Brother will help you fight for him. Wait for me here, I'll be right back."
Although Wang Chong's position in the Huaqing Palace was not as high as Yun Tian's, he was still a kind person and was highly regarded by the Sect Leader and the elders.
After Wang Chong left, Gu Qing could not sit still as she walked around the courtyard in anticipation. She clearly had a lot of things to think about, but her mind was in a mess and she couldn't think of anything clearly.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but her footprints were everywhere in the yard. She paced up and down, not looking out the door.
Why hasn't Senior Martial Brother Wang come back yet? Could it be that Sect Leader did not agree?
Just as she was thinking about that, a cloud floated up from the horizon and Senior Brother Wang's figure appeared on top of it. The distance between the two gradually closed and Gu Qing realized that Senior Brother Wang's face was dark and heavy.
"Senior brother Wang …" Gu Qing felt her throat go dry. She was afraid that the answer she would ask would cause her to despair.
If the Sect Leader did not change his mind, then in such a big world, besides marrying Shen Chang, there really wasn't any other place for her to stay.
Wang Chong jumped down from the cloud, his face was gloomy, but he looked at Gu Qing worriedly, "Let's talk inside."
Just as she entered the courtyard, Wang Chong's solemn voice came from behind, "Girl, this time Sect Leader has already made a decision to marry you to Shen Chang. I have always been lobbying for you, but Sect Leader did not let go of my words at all. He sighed, "For this matter, I'm afraid that other than Taoist Changhua who could make the Sect Leader let go, no one else would be able to."
Gu Qing's footsteps softened and she almost fell to the ground. She had expected this outcome, but she still held onto hope.
She turned her head and stared at Wang Chong, forcing out a smile: "No matter what, I still have to thank you, Senior Brother. Since that is the case, I will look for Senior Brother Yun Tian."
Originally, she didn't want to look for Yun Tian, but now, there was nothing she could do. Even the Senior Brother Wang Chong had said that other than Yun Tian, no one could save her.
She walked out with heavy steps, but was stopped by Wang Chong: "Little girl, where are you going?"
Gu Qing turned around and said, "Senior Brother, I'm going to find Taoist Changhua."
"Silly girl, Master Changhua is not inside the sect. He and Junior Sister Yun Yan went to the south side to kill the Demonic Beast."
"What?" Gu Qing's expression changed, her taut heartstrings almost collapsed.
Wang Chong immediately comforted her, "Don't be too anxious, I still have some time. I will immediately send a message to Master Chang Hua and have him rush back to help you."
Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked Wang Chong: "Senior Brother, Gu Qing will remember your kindness towards Gu Qing for the rest of her life."
"What do you mean by ungrateful? Little girl, don't think too much of it. Senior brother didn't help you too much, I've let you down!" Wang Chong also sighed, in the end his strength was still a little too weak, and he could not speak much inside the sect. Without helping Gu Qing, his heart did not feel well either.
The two of them did not talk much, because Wang Chong was busy passing a message to Yun Tian. Gu Qing didn't know how she managed to return to her own cave residence. She was in a daze, and she didn't cultivate that day either.
In her dream, she had once again become that lowly adopted daughter of the Gu family. No matter how she tried to break free, she couldn't. No one would be able to save her.
Save me... Save me...
Gu Qing took deep breaths, and when she woke up, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Initially, she thought that since she had become an immortal, she already had the strength to fight against Shen Chang, and no one could control her life in the future. But now, she realised, unless you have an absolute power that no one could talk about, your fate is still in the hands of someone stronger than you.
She clenched her fists tightly and, ignoring the sticky sweat on her entire body, stared at the cave entrance with shining eyes. "Shen Chang, if I escape this calamity, I will work hard to cultivate, surpass you, and surpass your grandfather!"
She only allowed herself to be depressed for one night before she pulled herself together and worked even harder than before.
A day quickly passed, and Gu Qing actually broke through Qi Disciple level 9 and reached Qi Disciple level 10. She believed that if she was given another three months, she would definitely break through to the peak of Qi Disciple level 10 and successfully enter Foundation Establishment.
However, time waited for no one. She only had a few last days.
She cast a dedusting technique and left the cave. As the day of her and Shen Chang's dual cultivation couple got closer and closer, she did not have much time left.
She rode her Paper Crane and once again arrived in front of the Senior Brother Wang Chong's gate. Before she even knocked, Wang Chong opened the door from the inside, his face had a look of anxiety.
Gu Qing knew that something was wrong and asked cautiously, "Senior brother, is it that Taoist Changhua is still not back yet?"
Wang Chong nodded, "Not only that, I don't know if Taoist Changhua was trapped or not, and he didn't send any messages to me."
Her first reaction was not that Yun Tian did not see the transmission, but rather that the other party did not even have a trace of her in his heart. Furthermore, she had left with Yun Yan, that beautiful woman who was as pure and pure as a white lotus!
"Little girl, what's wrong?" Seeing her startled, Wang Chong immediately extended his hand to push her.
Zi Ling came back to her senses and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Senior Brother, now that I have placed my hopes on Taoist Changhua, I'm afraid that it's already too late. I have to save myself."
Wang Chong saw that she had only felt a short moment of disappointment, but quickly calmed down. Appreciation flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he asked: "How do I save myself?"
"Senior Brother, I want to leave the Huaqing Palace." Unless it was absolutely necessary, she did not want to do this. If she left, there might be a chance of survival, but if she stayed, she would definitely be gifted to Shen Chang.
Wang Chong raised his eyebrows, "Maybe I can help you leave the Huaqing Palace, but after you leave the Huaqing Palace, if Shen Zhong finds you, no one can save you."
Wang Chong was worried about Gu Qing, so he did not agree with this decision.
Gu Qing's eyes flashed, "Even if it's the same result, I still want to give it a try."
Wang Chong was shocked by her expression and nodded, "Then Senior Brother will help you once," then he sighed and continued, "If I were half as determined and resolute as you, I'm afraid I wouldn't …"
He did not continue, but his expression was somewhat dejected.
But at the moment, Gu Qing was full of thoughts and didn't notice Wang Chong's abnormality. After a long while, Wang Chong said: "Then you should prepare. I'll bring you out of the Huaqing Palace at night."
"Ok, thank you senior brother." Gu Qing raised her face to reveal a smile.
Right now, if she wanted to leave the Huaqing Palace, she could only do so with the help of the Senior Brother Wang Chong. Fortunately, she and He Zhang had earned a lot of Spiritual Stone s and bought a lot of items, and one of the good items was the Disguising Pill.
That thing had cost her a lot of Spiritual Stone, and could be considered a few jars of spiritual wine. When she saw it in the auction house that day, she had a feeling that it might be useful in the future.
The Disguising Pill is not a high-grade medicine, but it has the advantage of being able to change not only its appearance, but also its age." Only cultivators with a higher cultivation and a certain understanding of you would be able to see through her, so after she leaves, she still has a certain chance to avoid Shen Zhong and the others' pursuit.
As long as she did not get caught before she reached the Core Formation stage, she would have a chance to live on.
But once she thought about the fact that she might not have the chance to return after leaving the Huaqing Palace, her heart sank. Although Yun Tian had never shown any sign of affection towards her, her heart was already tied to him the first time she saw him.
The place where the Demonic Beast was in turmoil a hundred kilometers away wasn't far from the Huaqing Palace, but Yun Tian and Yun Yan hadn't returned their Huaqing Palace even after nearly a month since they chased after the Demonic Beast.
Yun Tian was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, recovering her cultivation. Previously, they had only been fighting a Level 5 Demonic Beast. Yun Yan was protected well, so she recovered quickly.
She touched a piece of paper that was folded in her chest, and after hesitating for a long time, she turned to look at Yun Tian. Seeing that Yun Tian had closed his eyes and was cultivating, her lips would occasionally loosen, and in the end, as if she had made a decision, she opened her mouth and said: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Wang Chong has sent a message, but a few days ago we were busy chasing after the Demonic Beast, I forgot about this matter.
She picked herself clean, as if she had been too busy to read the note.
