"Chu Yao, you are very good."
Lin Xuan stared intently at Chu Yao, speaking slowly and deliberately, his icy gaze and suppressed killing intent making him seem like a god of death from hell.
Now that things have come to this, Lin Xuan finally understands that he has been deceived by Chu Yao from beginning to end.
No wonder Chu Yao has always refused to let Chu Ling'er become an apprentice; no wonder Chu Yao is acting strangely today.
It turns out that everything was a conspiracy against him.
What kind of bullshit worship is this?
It's likely that Chu Yao approached Gu Qing from the beginning in order to help him gather information.
It's laughable that he boasts of his almost supernatural wisdom, transcending the world, looking down on the vicissitudes of life, and acting superior.
But he was completely fooled by Chu Yao's few words. At this moment, Lin Xuan felt like a complete idiot, having been sold out by two ants and even helping Chu Yao lose money.
What's even more infuriating is that after he found out, the two of them showed no fear or panic whatsoever, acting as if nothing had happened, and tried to send him away with just a few words.
How much do they look down on him?!
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more ferocious and distorted his face became. He could barely suppress the primordial power within him, wishing he could tear the two despicable people in front of him to shreds.
Chu Yao couldn't help but shiver, her face turning pale. She was trembling in her very soul as she was overwhelmed by Lin Xuan's terrifying killing intent.
A sense of fear welled up inside her. After all, she had taken so many treasures from Lin Xuan; Lin Xuan would definitely not let her go... right?
Gu Qing's domain expanded, shielding her from Lin Xuan's terrifying killing intent, and gave her a reassuring look.
Even without relying on the Star Temple, Gu Qing could still fight against Lin Xuan.
Once the Black Dragon of Calamity appears, even if Lin Xuan were a god, he would only be able to flee for his life.
Chu Yao forced herself to speak and said slowly, "I don't owe you anything. It was just a fair transaction between us."
She praised Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan gave her information; the deal was fair.
It's perfectly reasonable for me to do things for Lin Xuan and receive payment from him.
So, in the end, it's still just a business transaction, and there's no question of who owes whom anything.
Chu Yao thought to herself.
"Buy or sell?"
Lin Xuan was furious when he heard this.
He treated Chu Yao with sincerity, giving her the Enlightenment Jade and the Mother-Child Substitute Divine Fruit without hesitation, genuinely wanting to take Chu Yao and her sister as his disciples.
But Chu Yao actually conspired with Gu Qing to shamelessly betray him, and even said it was a fair deal?
That's absolutely devastating.
Lin Xuan's anger erupted like a volcano, and at the same time, he was filled with regret.
If only he hadn't trusted Chu Yao back then.
If only he had been more cautious back then and had someone inquire about Chu Ling'er.
So it wasn't him who was being schemed against, but rather Gu Qing and Chu Yao who were being schemed against.
"Lin Xuan, stop barking like a dog here. It's dark and the road is slippery and complicated. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being less skilled."
Gu Qing sneered, then added, "If you're going to make a move, then hurry up. If you're too scared, then get lost."
"Huchi! Huchi!"
Damn it, I was deceived emotionally and financially, and it's still his fault in the end?
Lin Xuan was breathing heavily, so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
Those two are so vicious, one more wicked than the other; he's no match for them.
Lin Xuan glanced at Gu Qing, then gave Chu Yao a deep look before turning and leaving.
Forbearance.
He has to endure.
He originally intended to take action regardless of the consequences, since he was being attacked head-on and if he didn't retaliate, how could he save face?
But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he sensed a strong sense of crisis emanating from Gu Qing. His intuition was always sharp and had never been wrong.
Furthermore, Gu Qing is treacherous and cunning; how could he possibly do something he's not confident about?
Today's deliberate exposure of Chu Yao might be part of a shocking conspiracy, a scheme to deliberately provoke him.
Once this is done, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan sneered, his gaze icy.
Now that he's on guard, Gu Qing's attempt to scheme against him is utterly delusional.
Lin Xuan decided to put up with him for now.
The number of prodigies who came to participate in the coronation ceremony of the divine child was countless.
Although Zhi Meng issued a decree, there were always some prodigies who were unafraid of Zhi Meng and the Starry Sky Temple.
Thinking this, Lin Xuan sneered: "Zhi Meng, Gu Qing, Chu Yao, and Jiang Yu, let you be smug for a while. What you owe me, I will repay a hundredfold one day."
Fortunately, Gu Qing didn't know Lin Xuan's thoughts, otherwise she would have made a few sarcastic remarks to Lin Xuan.
In a dog-eat-dog world, who the hell would try to scheme against you?
If he had the ability to kill Lin Xuan, he would have done it long ago. Why would he need to provoke Lin Xuan and then make a move?
Isn't this just like taking off your pants to fart—completely unnecessary?
As for confronting Lin Xuan, it's mainly because it's pointless.
Even if he didn't expose himself, after being rejected by Chu Yao time and time again, it would be obvious to anyone that Lin Xuan would still trust Chu Yao as before.
If Lin Xuan discovers this himself, he might try to sabotage him.
In short, being exposed only benefits him and does him no harm.
"call!"
"Scared me."
After Lin Xuan left, Chu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest with lingering fear, and her chest trembled.
They looked like a pair of big, fat rabbits hopping around.
"Don't worry, he won't harm you," Gu Qing said with a mysterious smile.
Despite Lin Xuan's deep hatred for Chu Yao, Gu Qing could tell that Lin Xuan was just bluffing and didn't really want to kill Chu Yao.
Just like Jiang Yu, Lin Xuan truly hated her, but he absolutely had no intention of killing her.
After all, Lin Xuan is the chosen one, and no matter how deep his hatred for the incomparably beautiful female lead is, he will always find a hundred reasons to exonerate himself.
In addition, Chu Yao is the destined heroine, blessed with great fortune, and with Jiang Yu, the super sixth brother, protecting her, Chu Yao is absolutely safe.
"dare you laugh?"
Seeing that Gu Qing didn't care at all, Chu Yao said angrily.
That's the Divine Fire Realm.
Being targeted by a Divine Fire Realm expert, even if Lin Xuan dared not lay a hand on her, the pressure was immense.
Besides, she took so many of Lin Xuan's valuable treasures, do you think Lin Xuan would let her go?
Even thinking about it seems impossible.
Gu Qing could also see her worry, and thinking about it, it made sense; it was a matter of life and death, and no one was unafraid.
Gu Qing thought for a moment and then took out ten billion strands of Xuanhuang Mother Qi and gave them to her.
"Lin Xuan is like a grasshopper in autumn, he won't be able to jump around for many more days. You should go into seclusion for a while. By the time you come out, I may have already dealt with him."
"You don't need to worry about the Chu family either. I'll have someone keep an eye on them, nothing will happen."
"No, that's not what I meant."
Upon seeing the Xuanhuang Mother Qi vanish instantly, Chu Yao waved her hands repeatedly.
She did things for Gu Qing willingly and never thought about getting anything in return.
Furthermore, Gu Qing promised to take care of the Chu family.
With Gu Qing's abilities, he can definitely keep his word.
So she suffered almost no loss, how could she possibly accept so much Xuanhuang Mother Qi?
"Take it, don't nag."
"Okay, okay."
Chu Yao put the jade bottle into her storage ring, her expression complicated. Why did she suddenly feel that the Xuanhuang Mother Qi was as cheap as air to Gu Qing?
It's an illusion. It must be an illusion.
After all, this is the root of heaven and earth, something everyone desires but cannot obtain. It is a legendary treasure, truly unique, even rarer than divine medicine.
"I will go into seclusion after you are crowned as the Divine Child." She did not want to miss such a joyous occasion as the coronation of the Divine Child.
"Ok!"
Gu Qing hummed in agreement, then teased Chu Ling'er in his arms before leisurely leaving half an hour later.
He used spatial magic to hide in the void.
When Lin Xuan left, his eyes were too confident; perhaps he had already spotted a prodigy who was not afraid of Zhi Meng.
He has to go and see who is so brave.
