2: : Why doesn’t he lick it anymore?

Gu Liangyuan scoffed at Meng Yao's words, then stood up.

“Your current status is entirely due to my help.”

“I don’t know who gave you the courage to speak to me like this.”

As soon as Gu Liangyuan said this, the Elders in the main hall all turned to look at Gu Liangyuan, with disbelief on their Faces!

Is this the Junior Martial Uncle I know?!

Has the simp Awaken?

Not sure, let’s see.

Meng Yao below was also slightly stunned; she hadn't expected Gu Liangyuan, who had always been obedient to her, to say such words.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable, making her somewhat angry and embarrassed.

“Gu Liangyuan, what do you mean by this?!”

“Are you threatening me with your past kindness?”

“I told you back then that I didn't want any of your assistance, but you were shameless and pestered me with Cultivation resources.”

“And I said I would return these things to you in the future!”

Gu Liangyuan walked down from the steps, clapping softly, step by step, until he stood before Meng Yao.

“What a righteous Meng Yao.”

“If you truly didn’t care, why did you come to apologize to me today?”

“As far as I know, Yaochi Sacred Ground is selecting a Saintess recently, right?”

“Originally, you weren't qualified, but Yaochi Sun Elder included you in the candidate list because of my Face.”

“You were afraid of not being elected and thought I still had use, which is why you came to apologize.”

“Of course, there was also your Family’s pushing from behind.”

“I also know that as soon as I ordered to stop contact with your Family, your Meng family immediately held a supreme meeting overnight.”

“The content of the meeting was nothing more than figuring out how to continue relying on me.”

“So no matter how high you claim to be, it doesn't change the fact that you’re begging for handouts!”

“Begging requires a begging attitude!”

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone beg so righteously!”

As Gu Liangyuan spoke one sentence after another, the main hall instantly fell silent.

The Elders looked up and down at Gu Liangyuan, as if they were seeing this Junior Martial Uncle for the first time.

Senior Grand-Uncle bless us, has Junior Martial Uncle finally come to his senses?

Meng Yao’s expression shifted as she met Gu Liangyuan’s piercing gaze.

She only felt that Gu Liangyuan before her was incredibly unfamiliar.

His starry eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Indeed, what Gu Liangyuan said was exactly what she was thinking.

She had originally planned to completely cut ties with Gu Liangyuan once she became a Saintess and pursue her wonderful life.

But could she admit that?

No!

Meng Yao knew that even if she became a Saintess, her status would still be slightly lower than Gu Liangyuan’s.

However, although Gu Liangyuan’s status was high, his Aptitude was low, and he disliked Cultivating.

In her opinion, the Supreme Sacred Ground kept Gu Liangyuan merely for reputation, like a mascot.

Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment Peak, her talent was formidable, and reaching the Nascent Soul realm in the future was not impossible.

In over a hundred years, Gu Liangyuan’s Lifespan would run out, and everything he possessed would turn to dust. At that time, she would be in her prime.

She felt she deserved to pursue something better!

But she never thought, or perhaps refused to think, that the reason Gu Liangyuan disliked Cultivating was because all his thoughts were focused on her.

Everything she possessed today was given by Gu Liangyuan.

Without Gu Liangyuan, where would she be today?

Although Gu Liangyuan spoke such harsh words, deep down in Meng Yao’s heart, she still felt that Gu Liangyuan was still the same simp as before.

He was saying these words now merely to use threats to make her closer to him.

Thinking of the upcoming Saintess selection, Meng Yao thought to herself:

“Alright, with the Holy Land Grand Competition approaching, to avoid any complications, I will play along with him for a bit longer.”

“Once I become a Saintess, I will no longer need his help.”

With this thought, Meng Yao's expression instantly changed. Tears shimmered in her eyes, and she looked as if she was about to cry.

“So, in your heart, I’ve always been that kind of person, haven’t I?”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll leave now.”

“I’ll withdraw from the Yaochi Sacred Ground and return all the assistance you’ve given my Family.”

“From now on, there will be no relationship between us!”

As she spoke, tears streamed down Meng Yao’s cheeks.

As if she had made some great decision, she turned and left resolutely.

In the empty main hall, her back looked exceptionally lonely.

She naturally did not want to withdraw from the Holy Land; everything she did was merely a tactic of retreating to advance.

She remembered that once, when Gu Liangyuan also threw a tantrum, she had easily handled him with this very trick.

Although she turned her head, Meng Yao was counting down in her heart:

Three

Two

One

Just as she silently counted to one, Gu Liangyuan indeed spoke.

“Good, I’ll wait for your news at Forget-Love Peak.”

Meng Yao turned her head: “It’s too late to admit your mistake now…”

Huh?

Meng Yao paused mid-sentence, then suddenly reacted: “What did you say?”

Gu Liangyuan ignored Meng Yao and instead looked at Elder Wang.

“Elder Wang, I’ll have to trouble you with this matter. If Meng Yao cannot do it within ten days, then you will deal with the Meng family as the Holy Land deals with traitors.”

Elder Wang’s heart first rejoiced upon hearing Gu Liangyuan’s words, then he looked at Gu Liangyuan with some suspicion.

He was happy because he had long disliked Meng Yao, and now Gu Liangyuan had finally come to his senses, allowing them to act against the Meng family.

He was suspicious because would Gu Liangyuan, who used to love Meng Yao to death, truly be willing to do it?

One must know that although the Supreme Sacred Ground was a Righteous Path Holy Land, the punishment for traitors was extremely severe.

Not only would the traitor die, but all those with Spiritual Root in the traitor’s Family would also be killed. The Mortals within the Family would also be sterilized.

Even an ant passing by would have its six legs broken!

Would Junior Martial Uncle really be willing?

Gu Liangyuan also saw Elder Wang’s doubt and his expression became stern.

“What, are my words as your Junior Martial Uncle not effective?!”

Elder Wang hurriedly said he wouldn't dare.

“Junior Martial Uncle’s words are naturally effective.”

Having confirmed Gu Liangyuan’s intentions, he suddenly turned to look at Meng Yao, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes!

He had truly had enough of this woman these past few years!

In the past, with just a word from this woman, Gu Liangyuan would order them, the Elders, to serve the Meng family hand and foot.

In between, they were even insulted by Meng Yao and slighted by the Meng family.

One must know that they were all Nascent Soul-level powerhouses; although their Cultivation might not seem prominent in the Holy Land, any one of them, if taken out, would be a formidable existence capable of causing chaos!

Such humiliation was naturally unbearable.

But with Gu Liangyuan always suppressing them, they dared not do anything.

Heaven be merciful, Junior Martial Uncle had finally come to his senses!

The anger in his heart could finally be released.

The other Elders, seeing this, also eagerly rolled up their sleeves.

“Elder Wang, it's a bit tiring for you to inventory assets alone. I’ll come and help you too.”

“Hehehe, I’ll come too!”

“It just so happens I have nothing to do recently, so I can accompany you on this trip.”

The various Elders eagerly signed up, occasionally letting out strange laughs at Meng Yao.

They looked as if they couldn’t wait to flay Meng Yao alive immediately.

Seeing Gu Liangyuan's serious expression and the Elders' predatory gazes, Meng Yao's Face turned slightly pale.

How could this be?
