27: This absolutely cannot happen again next time!

Chi Lin strolled through the grand hall, her steps appearing much lighter than before.

“Humph~ Gu Yuan, I knew you couldn't let go of me, hee hee...”

Chi Lin murmured to herself, her pretty face filled with joy.

She was like a little girl who had received the candy she had been longing for.

At this moment, she didn't possess even a hint of the coldness and decisiveness she usually showed as the Leader of the Jin Mie Cult.

“It's just... Jade Moon Sect... How did you become someone from the Jade Moon Sect?”

Thinking of this, Chi Lin felt a bit confused.

However, this trace of confusion only lasted for a moment.

In the next instant, that originally cute face immediately transformed into a look of fanaticism.

“No matter who it is, they won't be able to take you away from my side again. Gu Yuan, you are mine, and you can only be my Lord Sovereign...”

Chi Lin's voice carried a hidden madness and obsession.

Jade Moon Sect, yes, I'm going to the Jade Moon Sect.

Qiong Yue Grand Assembly... Hehe... Qiong Yue Grand Assembly.

Gu Yuan, I'm coming.

My Lord Sovereign, I will personally come to take you home.

And on her originally sweet face, a sickly smile now hung... Meanwhile, Gu Yuan was opening the heavens mandate rescue system to check it.

For some reason, with the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly approaching, he always felt that his identity might be uncovered by them.

Regarding things like intuition, Gu Yuan felt it was necessary to believe in it a little.

However, seeing that the rescue mission for the Revered Master column still hadn't refreshed, Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged.

Sigh, the top priority right now is to complete Revered Master's rescue mission as soon as possible.

Then let the System complete its upgrade; that way, I won't have any restrictions.

It's just a pity that the System's refresh of the Fated Heroine rescue missions is random and not under my control.

“System, can you see if they have discovered my identity now?”

Gu Yuan swallowed his saliva and then asked the System.

The answer given by the System temporarily allowed Gu Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Host, for the time being, none of the Fated Heroines have detected your identity. However, every Fated Heroine has already become suspicious. Please pay attention at all times, Host!”

Suspicious, huh... Even with my flawless concealment, I still managed to arouse their suspicion.

They truly deserve to be called Fated Heroines... Gu Yuan nodded. It seemed he still needed to complete Revered Master's rescue mission as quickly as possible.

As long as the System completes its upgrade, he would have no worries about the future.

Well, at that time, the only thing to worry about would be whether they would chop him up... Cough.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan looked at the Revered Master column again.

How could he make Revered Master fall into a crisis?

Should I just have Feng Wu send someone to ambush Revered Master?

No, no, they probably wouldn't be Revered Master's match.

Hmm... Eh, wait, why am I starting to plot how to deal with Revered Master?

Gu Yuan's expression was a bit strange. Was he really turning into a Rebellious Disciple who deceives his Revered Master and destroys his ancestors?

Forget it, forget it. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Let nature take its course.

But since I'm thinking of Revered Master, today's daily task of harassing Revered Master hasn't been completed yet!

Gu Yuan gave a sneaky laugh and then sauntered over to Dongfang Yingxue's courtyard.

“Revered Master, do you want to... cough, uh... Sister Zhao, are you also here to see Revered Master?”

Gu Yuan stepped into the courtyard, just about to ask if his Master Baby missed him.

As it turned out, he saw Elder Zhao, Zhao Yinfēi, reporting something to Revered Master.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's voice, both of them looked toward him.

So Gu Yuan immediately changed his words, asked after a light cough.

Seeing this, how could Dongfang Yingxue not know what this Rebellious Disciple was here for? A faint blush immediately flashed across her pretty face.

At the same time, she gave Gu Yuan a sharp glare, which roughly meant, 'Behave yourself!'

When Zhao Yinfēi saw Gu Yuan, she couldn't help but smile as well.

“The Young Sect Master is here too. Are you here to see the Sect Master for something? Hmm... Speaking of which, I still have to thank the Young Sect Master for saving Shiyun and the others earlier.”

Zhao Yinfēi pursed her lips and smiled at Gu Yuan, her voice full of gratitude.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said:

“It was only right, Sister Zhao, there's no need to be polite. They are all my cute little Junior Sisters, after all.”

As he spoke, Gu Yuan asked curiously:

“Sister Zhao, what were you just talking about with Revered Master?”

Hearing this, Zhao Yinfēi said with a strange expression:

“It's nothing much. It's just that the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly is approaching, and I was checking the list of major factions attending. It's just...”

“For some reason, the Jin Mie Cult actually wants to come. Even their Cult Leader is coming in person. I thought something was fishy, so I came to report to the Sect Master.”

Uh... Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

Did she even need to ask why? It was obvious that the girl was coming for him.

Gu Yuan sighed somewhat helplessly.

Last time, in a moment of soft-heartedness, he had agreed to let that cultist go back and inform her of his appearance.

But Gu Yuan never expected that she would personally come.

One had to know that she was now the Leader of the Jin Mie Cult, not that little girl who used to act spoiled in front of him.

“This matter is indeed strange. The Jin Mie Cult has always been mysterious and unpredictable, acting as they please...”

Dongfang Yingxue also spoke in a heavy tone; she was also extremely puzzled in her heart.

At the same time, as if thinking of something, she gave a cold snort.

“It is said that the reason the Jin Mie Cult has developed so rapidly in recent years is all thanks to that mysterious Lord Sovereign. If there's a chance, this Venerable One would really like to meet him.”

Gu Yuan expressed that he knew nothing; silence was golden.

“Cough, Sect Master, since the Young Sect Master has business with you, I'll take my leave. I'll continue to keep an eye on the list. Goodbye to you too, Young Sect Master~”

At this time, Zhao Yinfēi looked at the Sect Master and Gu Yuan, gave a charming laugh, and then left.

“Eh... Don't... Mmm...”

How could Dongfang Yingxue have expected Zhao Yinfēi to just leave like that?

Moreover, wouldn't she be in danger once she left! So she hurriedly tried to call out to stop her.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuan's movements were extremely agile. Before she could finish speaking, he flashed forward and pulled her into his arms.

At the same time, he extremely skillfully pried open Master Baby's pearly teeth, blocking her “call for help.”

Then Dongfang Yingxue could only make “wuu wuu wuu” sounds.

T-this bad fellow, how did he become more and more skillful!

Mmm... Dongfang Yingxue only felt extremely shy in her heart.

At the same time, she secretly decided that she absolutely couldn't spoil him like this anymore.

W-where was there a Disciple who bullied his Revered Master like this all the time!

Emmm, but he's really good at it... and she... didn't hate it at all.

Well... then forget it this time.

Next time, next time I definitely won't let him take advantage of me again, yeah, I said so!

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yingxue shyly closed her eyes and let Gu Yuan bully her.
