135: Lu Qingmei: OK, I've been manipulated again

Gu Liangyuan was unaware of the upcoming wave of Disciples.

At this moment, he was seated cross-legged opposite Lü Qingmei in the main hall of Forget-Love Peak.

Only the two of them were in the hall, and the soundproofing and protective arrays had been fully activated.

Although Lü Qingmei trusted Gu Liangyuan and chose Ji Kingdom, she was truly uneasy without understanding Gu Liangyuan's intentions, which was why she returned to Forget-Love Peak with Gu Liangyuan, wanting to clarify the reasons.

But as soon as she sat in the main hall, with just the two of them, a man and a woman, coupled with the events of the past few days, she immediately felt an ambiguous atmosphere permeate the air.

It made her open her mouth several times, yet she didn't know how to begin.

"Light Eyebrow, are you trying to ask why I made you choose Ji Kingdom?" Gu Liangyuan, noticing Lü Qingmei's awkwardness, spoke first.

Lü Qingmei let out a soft breath and nodded in agreement.

And so, Gu Liangyuan explained his previous conjectures about the Ancient Ink Dynasty.

Finally, he added:

"Perhaps Taiyi Holy Land has already aligned itself with the Ancient Mo Dynasty."

Lü Qingmei's expression was calm at first, but upon hearing the end, her brows furrowed tightly, and hatred burst forth from her eyes!

She knew more about the secrets of Supreme Sacred Ground than Gu Liangyuan.

The more she pondered, the closer Gu Liangyuan's speculation seemed to the truth, and all the unreasonable aspects she had noticed in the past were perfectly explained at this moment.

"Mo Wuchen!"

She almost squeezed these words out from between her teeth.

Mo Wuchen?

Gu Liangyuan searched his mind; wasn't that the name of the Ancient Mo Crown Prince?

From her reaction, Lü Qingmei must have had some interaction with him.

Lü Qingmei did not hide it either, immediately recounting this past event to Gu Liangyuan.

It turned out that when Lü Qingmei was young and traveled in Central Continent, she encountered that Mo Wuchen.

Upon first seeing Lü Qingmei, Mo Wuchen was immediately awestruck.

And so, he began an endless pursuit of Lü Qingmei, wanting to make her his Crown Princess.

The Ancient Ink Dynasty was powerful, and although Lü Qingmei disliked him, she could do nothing about it.

One day, Mo Wuchen's patience ran out, and he intended to use force.

An Elder of Supreme Sacred Ground received the news and brought people to rescue her, but unfortunately, they were no match.

It was not until Lü Qingmei's Master personally appeared and negotiated with the Mo Emperor that the matter was dropped.

Although Lü Qingmei did not know how her Master negotiated with the Mo Emperor, she knew that the conversation must have been very unpleasant.

After this incident, Lü Qingmei's Master's health deteriorated day by day, and in less than ten years, she completely passed away.

Lü Qingmei's Revered Master never told Lü Qingmei why she, in her prime, would suddenly die violently, even until her deathbed.

However, Lü Qingmei guessed that this matter must be related to the Mo Emperor.

Her Revered Master chose silence so as not to let her fight against the powerful Ancient Ink Dynasty out of hatred.

Although Lü Qingmei guessed the true culprit, she also knew that she alone could not contend with the Ancient Ink Dynasty.

Even achieving a Pseudo-Immortal would not be enough.

And so, she devoted all her efforts to Supreme Sacred Ground.

She hoped to lead Supreme Sacred Ground back to Central Continent within her lifetime.

Gu Liangyuan's analysis was indeed correct; the Xia Dynasty, which was supported by the Tai Shang Sect, was indeed overthrown by the combined efforts of the Mo and Zhou Dynasties.

However, Lü Qingmei was completely unaware of the grand astrological lock; she only thought that the Demon Race, seeing Supreme Sacred Ground defeated, had come to take advantage of their misfortune and seize the Forgetting Love Legacy.

Now it seemed that all of this was a scheme of the Ancient Ink Dynasty.

Even the matter of wanting to make her the Crown Princess might have been a test!

Lü Qingmei felt angry but didn't know how to vent it.

She stared at Gu Liangyuan with her beautiful eyes, her expression unprecedentedly serious:

"Junior Martial Uncle, what do you plan to do? I'll listen to you."

At this moment, Lü Qingmei had clearly taken Gu Liangyuan as her backbone; the problems that Supreme Sacred Ground had not understood for so many years were all seen through by Gu Liangyuan.

Moreover, she had witnessed the progress of Forget-Love Peak during this period; Gu Liangyuan had only officially managed Forget-Love Peak for a little over half a year, and he had already made it flourish.

She understood that, setting aside cultivation, when it came to schemes, she was inferior to Gu Liangyuan.

Gu Liangyuan slowly nodded:

"First, I need to borrow Sun Elder for a while."

Lü Qingmei instinctively recoiled, looking at Gu Liangyuan with caution.

Borrowing someone again?

Li Daoyou and Wu Jiangtao were lost that way!

As if seeing Lü Qingmei's concern, Gu Liangyuan said:

"Don't worry, this time I'll definitely return her!"

"Really?"

"More real than your matter with Yang Qiong."

"You..."

How could Lü Qingmei not hear the threat in Gu Liangyuan's words?

If anyone else had said that, Lü Qingmei would have immediately turned hostile.

But at this moment, although she appeared angry on the surface, deep down, she felt no anger.

She didn't even know what was wrong with her.

Staring at Gu Liangyuan for a while, she sighed softly.

Alright, she was manipulated again.

She made up her mind to reinforce the protective array of Wuji Peak when she returned.

Seeing Lü Qingmei's expression, Gu Liangyuan knew it was done.

Although Qianqiu had the Luck of great fortune and considerable strategy after studying military texts, and she was dealing with mortals.

But to let her go down the mountain alone to become an Emperor, Gu Liangyuan always felt a little uneasy.

Sun Elder was the Dao Protector Gu Liangyuan had prepared for her.

Lü Qingmei rolled her eyes at Gu Liangyuan:

"You must return her to me then."

Although she said that, Lü Qingmei didn't really take it seriously in her heart.

Sun Elder was not like Li Daoyou; her roots were in Wuji Peak, and she didn't think Gu Liangyuan could keep Sun Elder at Forget-Love Peak either.

Gu Liangyuan waved his hand indifferently:

"We'll talk about that later."

"Also, regarding the upcoming Fu Long Court matter, everything will be arranged by me."

"It's time for the Tai Shang Sect to reappear in the world."

Listening to Gu Liangyuan's words, Lü Qingmei's heart stirred:

"Junior Martial Uncle, do you mean..."

Gu Liangyuan nodded:

"As you think."

Lü Qingmei looked at Gu Liangyuan, who didn't seem to be joking, and suddenly chuckled softly:

"If you can truly do it, I will have no regrets even if I abdicate."

Gu Liangyuan laughed heartily: "When that time comes, I will be the Sect Master, and I will make you the Sect Master's wife!"

Lü Qingmei didn't expect Gu Liangyuan to suddenly blurt out such a sentence; she felt flustered and seemed somewhat incoherent:

"Junior Martial Uncle, what are you saying? It's impossible between us; there's a generational gap."

After saying that, she felt her refusal wasn't firm enough, so she emphasized again:

"It's impossible for us."

"Then why are you flustered?"

"Who's flustered? I'm not flustered!"

"You are flustered!"

"I'm not flustered!"

"I just remembered I have something to do at Wuji Peak; I'm going back first."

With that, without waiting for Gu Liangyuan to reply, Lü Qingmei ran away as if fleeing.

She stumbled through the clouds several times, almost falling, appearing very disheveled.

"Master, what's wrong with the Sect Master?"

Just then, Qianqiu walked in.

Gu Liangyuan casually made up an excuse:

"Nothing, she's just too excited."

"Oh."

Qianqiu replied, then looked at Gu Liangyuan, and then at Lü Qingmei, who had already flown far away.

Her intuition told her that there was definitely something fishy going on.
