Chapter 156 Sold out and still helping Chu Yao count the money
"Disciple greets Senior Uncle. May I ask what brings you here, Senior Uncle?"
Chu Yao immediately hid her precious younger sister behind her back, performed a disciple's salute, appearing respectful on the surface but inwardly extremely wary.
He immediately sent a message to Liu Ruyan, informing her of Lin Xuan's visit.
Although she didn't want to believe it, Lin Xuan coveted her sister, after all, Lin Xuan was a genuine Divine Fire Realm expert.
But Lin Xuan's gaze towards her sister was too intense, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
If Lin Xuan were to harbor evil intentions and forcibly abduct Chu Ling'er, erasing her memories, Liu Ruyan would be the only person who could save her.
In a dog-eat-dog world, it's always good to be careful.
At this moment, Chu Ling'er also peeked out from behind Chu Yao, her big eyes looking at Lin Xuan with vigilance.
My older sister once said that the Star Temple is very dangerous, a place where the strong prey on the weak and natural selection takes place.
There are countless geniuses and prodigies. When they see a beautiful woman, they will snatch her home and lock her up to prevent her from wandering around.
Now that Lin Xuan has come to her door, and the way he looks at her is so scary, could it be that he wants to kidnap her?
Chu Ling'er grew increasingly frightened as she thought about it, her face turning deathly pale.
She had always grown up under the protection of her family and had never encountered anything like this before.
Chu Ling'er regretted it deeply; if she had known Lin Xuan was a bad person, she wouldn't have activated the formation.
"cough!"
Lin Xuan was completely charmed by Chu Ling'er's adorable little actions.
Seeing Chu Ling'er's expression gradually turn to fear, Lin Xuan belatedly realized that he had lost his composure. So he coughed lightly, looked away, and revealed a "gentle breeze" smile.
"It's nothing serious, I just got restless and came out for a walk."
"I see." Chu Yao nodded knowingly, replied, and then said no more, her intention to see the guest out was very clear.
Lin Xuan frowned, looked at her, then at Chu Ling'er, feeling puzzled.
It shouldn't be.
Given Chu Yao's adoration for him, shouldn't she warmly invite him in?
Lin Xuan had already planned it out. He would wait for Chu Yao to tell him about Gu Qing before he offered to take her as a disciple. At that time, the two Chu sisters would definitely be grateful to him.
After all, the grace of spreading the word is greater than anything else.
But now Chu Yao's indifferent attitude has left Lin Xuan bewildered. He can't very well shamelessly ask to go in, can he?
Does he still want to maintain his prestige as a Divine Fire Realm expert?
"Junior Nephew Yao'er, won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?" Lin Xuan said with a faint smile.
What does authority matter?
What does a system reward even count for?
It would be worth it as long as I could bring this perfect, perpetually young girl home.
Chu Yao's heart tightened, and a warm smile appeared on her charming face:
"Of course not. I thought my senior master wanted to continue comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, so I didn't dare to disturb him."
"I apologize for any negligence, Master Uncle. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled.
So you were afraid of disturbing him. It seems you were overthinking things.
Come to think of it, Chu Yao admires him so much, how could she not let him in?
Chu Yao led him to the garden pavilion, served him spiritual tea, and began her elaborate flattery.
In the past, Lin Xuan would have been very pleased, after all, who could resist the admiration of a stunning beauty?
But now, Lin Xuan only wants to know about Gu Qing so he can bring Chu Ling'er home.
Lin Xuan asked directly, "Do you know about Gu Qing?"
Chu Yao paused, then pretended to ponder for a moment: "I wasn't there at the time, so I don't know why Master was angry. Is this news important to Uncle-Master? If it is, I'll go and ask Master right away."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy, and he said calmly, "Insignificant ants, not important at all, just a little curious."
“That’s true. My master’s magic is divine, so naturally he wouldn’t pay attention to a nobody.” Chu Yao nodded in agreement, but sneered inwardly, “If you’re not important, why are you even asking?”
He wanted to know but also wanted to play hard to get, he really thought he was fooling her.
If she doesn't make Lin Xuan bleed heavily today, she'll write his name backwards.
Lin Xuan was deeply hurt by Chu Yao's words.
Gu Qing's information was crucial to him, determining whether he would allow his disciples to compete for the position of Divine Son, and how he should proceed with his plans.
Zhi Meng has already emerged from seclusion, and he doesn't have much time left.
He needed to gain enough power in the Star God Temple before Zhi Meng came to him, and it would be best if he could get the support of the ancestors in the coffin.
These old fogies only value Gu Qing's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body.
His second disciple, Su Yang, possesses the Sun God Body and the Supreme Bone.
If one can become a divine child and cultivate the Taiyin-Taiyang Chaos Record with Su Qingyue, one can definitely transform into a Yin-Yang Chaos Body.
The Yin-Yang Chaos Body with the Supreme Bone is stronger than the Zhou Tian Star God Body, at least that's what Lin Xuan thinks.
As long as Su Yang becomes the Divine Child, then Zhi Meng will be nothing to fear.
The reason I told Chu Yao it wasn't important was simply because of my personality.
After all, if you ask someone for a favor, you'll end up owing them a favor.
Besides, he is at the Divine Fire Realm.
It's somewhat beneath someone at the Divine Fire Realm to pay attention to someone at the Venerable Realm.
But to everyone's surprise, Chu Yao didn't play by the rules and took his words seriously.
"Sigh, sometimes it's not a good thing that the younger generation admires me too much," Lin Xuan thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.
After much deliberation, Lin Xuan decided to betray his disciple: "My second disciple, Su Yang, is the most suitable candidate to become the Divine Child. However, Gu Qing is treacherous and cunning, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I'm afraid he will attack my disciple again..."
After listening for a while, Chu Yao finally understood.
The implication was that she should go and find out information about Jiang Yu's attitude towards Gu Qing.
This made Chu Yao feel utterly contemptuous.
Lin Xuan was no match for Jiang Yu.
He was also afraid that his disciple would be killed if he couldn't defeat Gu Qing.
But he wanted his disciple to become a divine son, so he tried to bully the weak.
Lin Xuan is utterly shameless.
Thinking this, Chu Yao pretended to take out the communication jade and send it. After a while, she showed an apologetic look.
"Uncle-Master, I'm so sorry that Master won't tell me. I can't help you."
Lin Xuan's heart sank, and his expression shifted uncertainly.
"but…"
"But what?"
“Gu Qing is extremely greedy and lustful. I have some connections with him. If the benefits are enough, it’s the same to ask him.” Chu Yao stated her purpose.
Lin Xuan was taken aback.
Do Chu Yao and Gu Qing have a relationship?
Can Chu Yao still be used by him?
Furthermore, Gu Qing is his enemy, so why would he ask him to use a treasure to find out Gu Qing's secrets? What kind of crazy move is that?
Will this work?
"Uncle, don't worry, Gu Qing and I are just in a business relationship."
"He sells elixirs and some useless treasures, while I help him acquire large quantities of demon beast flesh and blood and spiritual herbs," Chu Yao explained.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Chu Yao doesn't like Gu Qing, that's fine.
He was afraid it would be another Bai Suying.
"As expected of that witch's disciple, ruthless and morally corrupt," Lin Xuan said disdainfully.
"Indeed." Chu Yao nodded in agreement.
Lin Xuan took out a jade box containing an ordinary sacred fruit and said calmly, "Give it to him and find out the reason for this as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Uncle-Master."
Chu Yao was overjoyed, but when she opened it, her face immediately showed disdain.
Lin Xuan spoke of it so casually, she thought it was some extraordinary treasure, but it turned out to be just this?
What about sending beggars away?
Chu Yao's expression turned sour, and she pushed the things back without even bothering to pretend: "I'm sorry, Uncle-Master, I'm powerless to help."
"Why?" Lin Xuan's face darkened.
"Does Master Uncle think Gu Qing would lack a mere Sacred Fruit? Besides, it's such a secret; without a sufficient benefit, why would he tell me?"
Chu Yao countered with a question, then added, "Master, you should find someone more capable. I can't handle a single sacred fruit."
Lin Xuan fell silent.
He knew, of course, that Gu Qing was not lacking in sacred fruits.
He was even certain that Gu Qing had taken the miracle drug.
But this was just to send Chu Yao to gather information, and since the two had a relationship, he naturally assumed that a small token gesture would suffice.
Giving Gu Qing the miraculous medicine would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.
But judging from Chu Yao's appearance, the two really had no relationship, and Gu Qing was also unusually greedy.
He can't go on without bleeding.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan reluctantly took out a divine fruit.
Chu Yao took it, but said, "It's not enough."
Lin Xuan was taken aback. Did Gu Qing have such a big appetite?
“Senior Uncle, Gu Qing has no shortage of divine medicines or sacred herbs, nor does he lack magical treasures or divine iron. Does Senior Uncle have any particularly precious treasures? If not, then there’s basically no chance,” Chu Yao said solemnly.
Lin Xuan was numb.
If you have no shortage of miraculous medicines, then why would you need my miraculous medicine?
What's the meaning of taking even the sacred medicine?
If Lin Xuan hadn't known how much Chu Yao admired him, he would have suspected that Chu Yao was trying to line her own pockets.
“You’re right.” Lin Xuan agreed with Chu Yao.
After all, Gu Qing wasn't stupid. How could he casually reveal secrets that concerned life and death?
Moreover, since Gu Qing possesses the Zhou Tian Star God Body, the Star God Palace will definitely give him any good things it has.
Chu Yao did this entirely for his sake, to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"What a treasure of a girl..." Lin Xuan sighed. It's a pity that he became Jiang Yu's disciple. If Chu Yao were willing to become his disciple, that would be great.
Perhaps when the time is right, it wouldn't be unreasonable to try and poach Jiang Yu's boyfriend.
Lin Xuan thought of Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyan possesses a nine-star talent.
Liu Ruyi is one of the eight stars.
They are all peerless beauties of heaven, possessing the potential to become immortal kings and immortal emperors.
Leaving it to Jiang Yu would be a complete waste.
With that thought in mind, Lin Xuan returned to reality.
What treasure will he use to gather information?
After much deliberation, Lin Xuan realized that there was only one thing he possessed that Gu Qing would definitely be tempted by.
That is the Heart of the Stars, containing the origin of the stars, capable of evolving into a galaxy.
Such a treasure could be used to forge a divine artifact.
It can also be used to improve cultivation level and physical fitness.
It can even be used to reshape the physical body.
Moreover, the reconstructed physical body is a celestial divine body.
If Gu Qing obtains the Heart of the Stars, his physique and strength will definitely improve even further.
Lin Xuan thought about it more and more and was less willing to give it.
But for the sake of the bigger picture, he had no choice but to reluctantly part with her, letting Gu Qing benefit.
Lin Xuan's heart was bleeding as he slowly pushed the jade box in front of Chu Yao.
"Heart of the Stars..."
Chu Yao opened it and immediately exclaimed in surprise, overjoyed.
"Okay, here you go." Lin Xuan emphasized the words "here you go."
The meaning is clear: he only wants information; it doesn't matter who gets the Heart of the Stars.
Chu Yao said she understood and promised to ask for clarification. Seeing Lin Xuan's smile, she smiled sincerely as well.
Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction before looking at Chu Ling'er, who had remained silent.
Chu Ling'er sat obediently, her little face soft and cute, making Lin Xuan's heart itch with desire to pet her.
Fortunately, he held back, afraid of frightening Chu Ling'er again. Lin Xuan revealed what he thought was a refined and gentle smile: "Little girl, what's your name? Have you taken a master?"
