153: Illiterate girl

The girls all agreed with this point.

Although Sister Xia was extremely mysterious, she was very friendly toward them.

“One day, I’ll find out everything about Sister Xia, hehe...”

Gu Yuan chuckled, speaking words that sounded like those of a villain.

“Eww~ Gu Yuan, you sound so perverted. Heehee, I’m going to tell on you to Sister Xia next time!”

Yun Qingci never missed an opportunity to find fault with Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan simply rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Sister Xia was magnanimous; why would she care about this? Little Noodle was still too naive.

“Let’s finish reading. Look, this last section is about our current era,”

Tian Mei said softly.

Compared to the shock the others felt, she was actually the calmest one.

There was no other reason than the fact that Tian Mei had personally experienced Xia Gehuang’s terror.

The image of her harvesting those high-and-mighty Incarnations of the Heavenly Dao like leeks was something she would never forget in her life.

Even though she was now Gu Yuan’s woman, her heart couldn’t help but shudder every time she faced Xia Gehuang.

It couldn’t be helped; the shadow Xia Gehuang had cast over her back then was truly too large.

Gu Yuan and the others continued reading after hearing her.

They were also extremely curious about the content that followed.

However, this last section regarding the records of the Great Thousand Era felt somewhat strange to Gu Yuan and the others.

Because those records were basically about how the Heavenly Dao met Xia Gehuang, as well as their meetings, contact, and so on.

Until the end, the two sides actually became best friends—can you believe it?

“Th-this is too ridiculous. I never imagined... that the Heavenly Dao actually split off an Incarnation to go on adventures and travel with Sister Xia. My god...”

Tian Mei said, somewhat dazed.

In the past, she could never have imagined that the Heavenly Dao had such a history, and... with Xia Gehuang, of all people.

As for Gu Yuan, his focus was on the titles they used for each other.

Sisters... Gu Yuan was starting to feel a bit numb now.

Sister Xia really called the Heavenly Dao her sister... and their relationship was that good back then!?

Then why did it turn into how it is now?

Gu Yuan was becoming more and more curious about Xia Gehuang’s past.

“Traveling with the Heavenly Dao... this Sister Xia really is...”

Xi Nian didn't know what to say for a moment.

“But why did the Heavenly Dao become like that afterward? And Sister Xia’s attitude toward it is completely different from what’s recorded here...”

Yun Qingci asked the question that was in everyone’s hearts.

“Let’s see if there are any more related records on here.”

Gu Yuan shook his head and just looked at the book of heavenly judgment, hoping there were more records.

Unfortunately, the content in the book of heavenly judgment ended right after the Heavenly Dao and Xia Gehuang parted ways.

The record stated that the Heavenly Dao had to leave this world for some unavoidable reason.

The book of heavenly judgment did not record the specific reason in detail.

It only said that the Heavenly Dao seemed to have sensed some kind of change, and this change forced it to leave.

A change... Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, many guesses forming in his heart.

Could it be that from that moment on, the Heavenly Dao gradually transformed into its current state?

Or perhaps Sister Xia noticed this...?

Or... Gu Yuan shook his head slightly. He would probably have to wait for Sister Xia to tell him the secrets behind this personally.

“Ugh... this is so torturous. How can it just cut off here? I still want to know what happened later.”

Yun Qingci curled her lips and said after a soft huff.

Her curiosity had always been very strong.

“Do you think this book of heavenly judgment will continue to update later...?”

Gu Yuan stared at the book of heavenly judgment and spoke out of the blue.

Hmm!?

His words instantly piqued the interest of the girls, and they all felt that what Gu Yuan said was not impossible.

“It really is possible. After all, this book records everything about the Heavenly Dao, and... this is only the first page.”

Xi Nian said softly. The more she spoke, the more she felt Gu Yuan’s words were likely true.

“Oh right! This is only the first page. There’s still a second page, a third page... Eh, wait...!”

Yun Qingci also nodded, but her expression soon became somewhat subtle.

“In that case, are we technically peeping? Um... peeping on the Heavenly Dao’s daily life?”

Hey, why was Little Noodle’s perspective always so novel?

Yun Qingci’s words made everyone present feel very strange.

At the same time, the way they looked at the book of heavenly judgment became extremely odd.

“Cough, if that’s really the case, then it would be extremely interesting. As for whether it is, we just need to wait.”

The corners of Gu Yuan’s mouth curled up slightly, as if he had thought of some interesting scene.

Xi Nian and Yun Qingci naturally guessed what Gu Yuan was thinking and chuckled along.

Under Gu Yuan’s leadership, well, they had become better and better at enjoying gossip.

As for Tian Mei, she felt caught between laughter and tears at this moment.

How could this group of people be so interested in the Heavenly Dao’s daily life?

But... Tian Mei bit her lip, a strange look flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Well, she was also very curious!

After displaying these records, the book of heavenly judgment returned to its original appearance.

From the outside, it looked like just an ordinary book.

“Speaking of which, Gu Yuan, where is that Cult Master? I don’t see her anywhere.”

Yun Qingci and the others had only been studying the book of heavenly judgment out of curiosity.

Now that there was a result, Yun Qingci lazily stretched her body and asked curiously.

That Cult Master had a deep relationship with Gu Yuan; Yun Qingci didn’t believe she wouldn’t come out with him.

Uh... Gu Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this.

“Her? Well, she should be experiencing the feeling of defeat right now. Yeah, that’s it.”

Ah...?

Yun Qingci froze for a moment, then frowned slightly.

What did Gu Yuan mean by that?

It couldn’t be helped; Yun Qingci was still an illiterate young maiden, so she naturally couldn’t understand Gu Yuan’s words.

However, Tian Mei and Xi Nian’s faces turned slightly red, and they both glared at Gu Yuan at the same time.

This person really had no filter; he dared to say anything. Didn’t he see that Qing Ci was still here?

Oh, Qing Ci didn’t understand. Then it was fine.

“What are you looking at? Could it be that you want to experience it too? I can satisfy you.”

Gu Yuan chuckled at Tian Mei and Xi Nian, then sent out an invitation.

Unfortunately, this invitation was rejected by both women simultaneously.

One turned her head away and wouldn’t look at Gu Yuan, while the other lowered her head, not daring to say anything.

Sigh, it’s truly as lonely as the snow~

Gu Yuan’s heart suddenly felt a bit more sentimental.
