Chapter 115 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

Su Yao looked in the direction Gu Qing Qing was leaving, her fox eyes narrowing slightly. She never expected that Gu Qing Qing, a formidable cultivator who had broken through to the Qianyuan stage, to become overwhelmed by inner demons. It was truly surprising. It could be said that she, as an onlooker, could see clearly from her vantage point in the corner. Just from the faint aura emitted by Gu Qing Qing earlier, it was clearly a sign of the initial emergence of inner demons. If left unattended, it was likely that she would fall into a complete inner turmoil shortly. When Su Yao faced Bai Lian, who had her back turned to her just now, she was unaware of what Bai Lian had done to instantly restore Gu Qing Qing's clarity as her inner demons began to surface. Although the short-term crisis was resolved, the inner demons were still present, and they might now lurk even deeper. Despite the calm appearance now, if they encountered any stimulation in the future, it was likely to erupt directly. The subject of Gu Qing Qing's inner demons... would it be Bai Lian? Looking at Bai Lian, still foolishly happy, the corners of her mouth curved slightly as she lazily lay down, deciding to amuse herself as a playful fox. Although she had perceived Gu Qing Qing's problem, she had no intention of helping her solve it. As a Qianyuan cultivator, Gu Qing Qing knew her own situation best; otherwise, she wouldn't have fled in a panic just now. She, on the other hand, was just a mixed-blood Bai Ze, fundamentally lacking the ability to resolve a Qianyuan cultivator's inner demons. Even if she had the ability, she didn't want to resolve them. Despite being co-wives to Bai Lian in their previous lives, she and Gu Qing Qing had very little interaction. After all, Gu Qing Qing was a great human cultivator, while she was the Empress of the Yao clan, and their natural positions were in opposition. Furthermore, both of them were devoted to Bai Lian, naturally becoming love rivals and glaring at each other. Even before Bai Lian controlled their vital spirits with the Great Joy Scripture, she hadn't met Gu Qing Qing many times. Even if they had met, most of the time, they were in direct competition for affection, and there were seldom any peaceful exchanges. What's more, Qianyuan cultivators had plenty of matters to attend to. Very few individuals in the world could compare to the Qianyuan cultivators, as most of them were affiliated with a sect or organization. In her previous life, Bai Lian once said that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Although this statement was direct, it was quite reasonable. Qianyuan cultivators were all nurtured through countless resources, and having benefited from the support of several generations of disciples from their sects, they naturally needed to shoulder corresponding responsibilities. Look at Bai Ze's daily busyness - she was busy handling official business as soon as she woke up, often not finishing until dawn. If Qianyuan cultivators didn't need sleep for hundreds of years, even she, Hu Hu, was afraid that Bai Ze might pass away without marrying Bai Lian. Only people like Gu Qing Qing, who had nothing to do all day, would be so idle. By the way, Hu Hu didn't fit into this category. Hmph, in her previous life, Bai Ze conspired with that vile Bai Lian to kill Hu Hu, and Hu Hu held grudges. In this life, Hu Hu wanted to play the fool and occupy Bai Lian's heart until she forgave that vile Bai Lian! Thinking so, Hu Hu looked at the twin swords left behind by Gu Qing Qing, unable to help the sarcasm that crossed her face. "To think it's casually refined, it's as if I don't care." But this sword, with its lapis lazuli jade sheath and golden ring, was clearly a carefully refined top-grade spiritual weapon. Furthermore, the two lotus flowers on the scabbard, one blue and one white, blooming together, the name of this sword should be called "Twin Lotus Blooming Together." As for who these two twin lotus flowers represented... Hmph, Hu Hu, you are a big lady with integrity, but it seems you play tricks in secret. Perhaps you were thinking about Bai Lian while refining the sword? It's no wonder the inner demons emerged. Always entangled in her master-disciple relationship with Bai Lian, rejecting her inner thoughts, and yet yearning for her. It was strange that she didn't drive herself to madness in the long run. The Yao Clan is much better; when they see something they like, they snatch it directly, unlike humans who need to abide by all those rules and regulations. Especially the so-called do-gooders among the humans, they are so boring and also love antagonizing the Yao Clan. Compared to that, she liked Jiang Miao more. After all, they were both... cunning and wise! Bai Lian didn't dwell on it too long and, after arranging the things Gu Qing Qing gave her, she set off with Hu Hu. Although they were supposed to board a celestial boat from the Taihua Sword Sect to Xia Du, the celestial boat was not located in the Taihua Sword Sect. After all, the Taihua Sword Sect had a vast territory, with its influence almost covering the three provinces. In addition to the Taihua Sword Sect, there were many smaller sects and factions operating within the area. These smaller sects and factions needed their disciples to go out for training, but they couldn't afford the cost of making celestial boats. Flying with spiritual objects or traversing through the air was too exhausting. Therefore, they hoped to take advantage of the celestial boats provided by the Taihua Sword Sect. While the Taihua Sword Sect was vast and influential, it wasn't foolish enough to miss out on this opportunity to earn an extra income, so it agreed to this arrangement. As long as they paid enough spiritual stones, even ordinary itinerant cultivators could board the celestial boats of the Taihua Sword Sect to travel to various places in the cultivation world. The Taihua Sword Sect also established a base near the foot of the Taihua Mountains, specifically for receiving the celestial boats. Over time, the size of the base grew, eventually developing into a massive city. Moreover, due to the Taihua Sword Sect's celestial boats named "Yao Guang," that city became known as Yao Guang City. "White Junior Sister has never been to Yao Guang City?" Mu Xinghe looked at Bai Lian, raising her eyebrows in surprise. Bai Lian, hugging Hu Hu in her arms, was looking around in curiosity, as if she had entered a whole new world. Mu Xinghe never expected Bai Lian to be so unfamiliar with Yao Guang City. She had to put a question mark on her own speculation. After all, in her previous life, Bai Lian had so many admirers that she needed to use celestial boats to keep her appointments all over the place. She was a master at time management. If Bai Lian was truly a reincarnation of Bai Lian, she couldn't possibly be this unfamiliar with Yao Guang City. However, the way Bai Lian was currently behaving made it seem as if she was seeing the sights of Yao Guang City for the first time. "Well... I'm not completely unfamiliar. I often hear my senior sisters talking about Yao Guang City, but I've never been here myself." Bai Lian blinked, looking extraordinarily sincere. Mu Xinghe couldn't determine if she was acting or speaking from the heart. This feeling of letting a little lamb escape from her grasp made Mu Xinghe somewhat frustrated. She suppressed her inner emotions and smiled gently, saying, "I've heard that Yao Guang City, connected to the five lakes and the four seas by the Taihua Sword Sect, is bustling with the celestial boats of Yao Guang, shining like stars day and night." "I've longed for it and hope to see such a splendid sight." "Since White Junior Sister is also visiting for the first time, shall we take a stroll around first?" "Sure, I'll listen to Sister Mu." Bai Lian replied with a smile, feeling a bit smug. Although she had transformed into a little girl and seemed a bit airheaded, she wasn't foolish enough to not realize Mu Xinghe's probing actions. However, Mu Xinghe couldn't have imagined that, even though Bai Lian had indeed visited Yao Guang City countless times in her past life, she had never truly set foot inside. Because in the game, Yao Guang City only had one purpose for her - - a teleportation point! Hmph, didn't expect that, did you? In reality, it's my first time seeing the sights of Yao Guang City! Following behind Mu Xinghe, Bai Lian quietly revealed a sly smile. To turn me into a little cotton ball, Sister Mu might have to continue trying a little harder! However, what she didn't see was the dangerous expression on Mu Xinghe's face as she walked ahead. Clearly, the more a prey struggled, the more it could fuel a hunter's conqueror's desire. And she had always been an excellent hunter. Whether in her previous life or this one.
