328: Qianqiu and Song Xianer join forces
Just as Qianqiu was flustered, an unexpected, yet seemingly reasonable, person appeared before her.
The person was none other than Song Xianer.
Song Xianer naturally sat down on a chair, casually picking up a spirit fruit from the table and eating it.
"Master is gone?"
Although Qianqiu was a little flustered, she didn't want to show weakness in front of Song Xianer. With the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture circulating, she forcibly calmed herself down and hummed softly.
"I think we need to join forces."
Song Xianer's sudden remark made Qianqiu a bit slow to react.
"What do you mean?"
Song Xianer stood up and sighed faintly.
"Upon returning to Forget-Love Peak, I immediately sought out Elder Song."
"I possess a secret art that can extract what I desire from Elder Song's mouth."
"From him, I learned that my conjecture was correct."
Conjecture correct?
Qianqiu's eyes flickered, and she quickly recalled what Song Xianer had once told her: Lü Qingmei and Yang Qiong might have had an ambiguous relationship with Revered Master.
Realizing this, a sense of grievance suddenly arose in Qianqiu's heart.
How could there suddenly be two more mistresses out of nowhere?
Song Xianer saw through Qianqiu's thoughts, and this time, instead of adding fuel to the fire, she offered words of comfort.
"I think you shouldn't be sad, but rather feel fortunate."
"If Revered Master had never found a Dao Companion and then only found one in the end, that one would almost certainly be our mistress."
"Now, Revered Master's actions also indicate that Revered Master is not the type to choose one person to grow old with."
"We all cultivate the Forget Love Sutra, and Revered Master has cultivated this scripture to its highest Realm, being utterly emotional and true to his nature, he naturally won't be bound by worldly morals."
"From this perspective, isn't it also a good thing?"
Qianqiu: ...So reasonable.
But she always felt that something was strange.
Song Xianer continued, "Moreover, Revered Master and Lin Furen (Lady Lin) also seem to have an unclear entanglement."
With the previous groundwork laid, Qianqiu found this news less difficult to accept.
Furthermore, Qianqiu thought the same as Song Xianer; she also knew that Revered Master and this Lin Furen (Lady Lin) could not be too open and upright.
Qianqiu then thought of Song Xianer's earlier mention of joining forces, and at this point, she also understood.
Meeting Qianqiu's gaze, Song Xianer nodded slightly.
"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking."
"Thinking carefully, Revered Master's identity as a Holy Land Holy Lord does indeed match."
"But between us and Revered Master, it's a Master and Apprentice relationship..."
"I think Revered Master also has concerns in this regard."
"Since we can't have him exclusively, and one person's strength is far from enough, why don't we join forces to win?"
Qianqiu felt that she had been persuaded by Song Xianer.
It makes sense!
However, she still felt a bit unwilling.
Song Xianer's words continued: "This kind of thing is like pulling a cart; it's difficult for you to carry the load alone, but if I help you push, it becomes much easier."
Pulling a cart, pushing it...
Song Xianer's words were serious, but for some reason, Qianqiu's thoughts went astray.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!
Qianqiu once again circulated the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture, forcibly suppressing the distracting thoughts in her heart.
After calming down, she felt that although she was still somewhat unwilling, Song Xianer's words were undoubtedly the most stable method at present.
So she spoke:
"How do you want to push... Ptooey, how do you want to unite?"
Song Xianer didn't think much of it, only assuming Qianqiu had a slip of the tongue.
She went on to explain her plan.
"Past mistakes are future lessons."
"I've already found out how Yang Qiong succeeded, and we might as well follow suit."
Immediately after, Song Xianer recounted how Yang Qiong coaxed Gu Liangyuan to Yaochi and how she plotted.
Qianqiu listened, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Senior Sister Yang was only able to succeed with the help of the Yaochi Six Elders."
"Now, Revered Master's cultivation is far stronger than it was back then. Can the two of us really do it?"
Song Xianer smiled triumphantly: "We can't trap Revered Master, but Revered Master can trap himself."
"Junior Sister's meaning is?"
Song Xianer looked left and right, set up a sound-insulating array, and then used sound transmission to tell Qianqiu her plan.
After listening, Qianqiu's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.
Finally, Song Xianer left an ancient scroll on the table.
"I'll come find Senior Sister when I find the right opportunity, but don't hold me back."
With that, her figure vanished.
After Song Xianer left, Qianqiu glanced at the table and saw three large characters written on the ancient scroll: "Su Nü Jing."
Qianqiu showed disdain. She had specifically consulted Revered Master about this; how could she hold her back?
Too small!
The scope is too small!
Although she thought so in her heart, Qianqiu still instinctively opened the book.
Just one glance, and her pupils immediately constricted.
There... how could that be possible!
While Qianqiu was engrossed in her studies, Gu Liangyuan had already returned to Forget-Love Peak.
Of Forget-Love Peak's nine direct Disciples, all but Mo Chen and Oriental Heng, who were training in the Great Abyss, had returned to the peak.
Gu Liangyuan immediately ordered Zai Xiyue to be summoned, preparing to bestow the treasures obtained from the Taiyi Treasury.
Not long after, Zai Xiyue stepped into the hall from outside.
"Disciple Zai Xiyue greets Revered Master."
At this time, Zai Xiyue had entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
Although it was said to be the Nascent Soul Realm, Zai Xiyue naturally couldn't form a Nascent Soul.
According to the ghost Cultivator's statement, Zai Xiyue was now a Ghost General.
During Core Formation, although Zai Xiyue's Physical Body had completely solidified into a physical entity, ghost Qi always inadvertently emanated from her body.
Moreover, if she stayed in the sun for a long time, although it wouldn't cause her any harm, it would always make her uncomfortable.
Now, Zai Xiyue's ghost Qi was contained within her body, and aside from her overly pale complexion, she was no different from an ordinary Cultivator.
Furthermore, due to cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture, pure Qi surrounded her body.
Coupled with the Magic Treasure for concealing heavenly secrets gifted by Gu Liangyuan, unless one had extremely high cultivation or special means, generally no one could discern Zai Xiyue's true origin.
"Rise."
"Thank you, Revered Master."
"Before you, your six Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters all received life-saving Magic Treasures from me."
"Although I have given you the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and a Mahayana Puppet, it is still not stable enough."
Zai Xiyue knew that her Master always liked to keep a few tricks up his sleeve and pursue stability.
But Revered Master, you are too stable.
"Revered Master, with the Mahayana Puppet, I can walk sideways in the Eastern Continent."
"No one below Mahayana can kill me."
"Above Mahayana, who wouldn't give Revered Master some face?"
"Is this still not stable?"
Gu Liangyuan's expression immediately became serious upon hearing this.
"Xi Yue, that thought is unacceptable!"
"Although Revered Master has some face in the Eastern Continent, he also has many enemies."
"Or, what if you encounter a special situation and leave the Eastern Continent?"
"I am doing my best to create a stable cultivation environment for you, but you must not lose the mindset of being prepared for danger in times of peace."
"The world is vast; there will always be extraordinary people and events."
"You just said, no one below Mahayana can kill you?"
"Then, do you think this Mahayana Puppet can stop me, who is in the Body Integration Realm?"
