32: The Sword Immortal is coming!

“Mm... Revered Master, I actually didn't see anything just now. You have to believe me.”

Gu Yuan looked at his Revered Master with a sincere expression.

“So... can you put me down now? It's quite embarrassing if someone sees this.”

Dongfang Yingxue looked at Gu Yuan, who was hanging there looking pitiful, and almost couldn't hold back a laugh.

But she managed to restrain herself. Dongfang Yingxue gave a light huff and said:

“Gu Yuan, do you realize your mistake? If you dare peep at This Venerable One bathing today, tomorrow are you going to start building a harem in the Jade Moon Sect?”

Uh... Gu Yuan shook his head, feeling exasperated. Where did Revered Master even get that idea?

He moved his hands, and then jumped down.

Well, he only allowed himself to be hung up in the first place just to let Revered Master vent her frustration.

“Alright, Master Baby, I really didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry, okay?”

Gu Yuan walked up to Dongfang Yingxue, pulled her into his arms, and then kissed her delicate cheek as he spoke.

Hmm... Dongfang Yingxue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away with a huff.

Thinking about it now, she might have truly wronged him.

After all, whatever this Rebellious Disciple wanted to do, she... well... she wouldn't stop him.

So there was no need for him to resort to peeping.

Although that was the case, Dongfang Yingxue could never admit it!

Therefore, the punishment he deserved still had to be given.

“Revered Master, let me tell you, earlier the Demon Venerable...”

Gu Yuan decisively chose to change the subject, immediately throwing the Demon Venerable Lord under the bus.

Hearing that Nether Moon, That Woman, was responsible for all this, a hint of anger appeared on Dongfang Yingxue's beautiful face.

“It’s her again! That Woman relies on her unparalleled ability to Conceal Presence to constantly pull these stunts!”

Saying this, Dongfang Yingxue poked Gu Yuan twice, then said softly:

“She really stops at nothing to find someone. Gu Yuan, are you alright?”

Gu Yuan chuckled. He knew Master Baby felt distressed for him.

He grabbed Dongfang Yingxue's small hand, kissed it, and then said with a smile:

“Of course I'm fine. Even the Demon Venerable can't do anything to me. Master Baby, relax!”

Dongfang Yingxue's pretty face turned red. She tried to pull her hand back, but Gu Yuan held it tightly, so she could only let him grasp it.

“Now that the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor are unknown, the Yao Race is in chaos. Once This Venerable One investigates the specific situation of the Sea of Stars, I will begin dealing with her.”

Dongfang Yingxue said softly. Both she and Nether Moon were Great Dao Realm experts, and neither side could truly overcome the other.

But Nether Moon was proficient in the Art of Concealment. As long as she didn't show herself voluntarily, Dongfang Yingxue couldn't do anything to her either.

Gu Yuan naturally supported this, after all, he still had a Revered Master Rescue Mission to complete.

Yes, it would be best if Revered Master encountered danger in the Sea of Stars, allowing him to naturally go and rescue her.

Then, he would complete the Revered Master Rescue Mission, and the System could be upgraded.

In that case, he would have no more worries!

Hmm... although this sounds a bit like cursing Revered Master, *cough*... “As for you, prepare properly for the upcoming Qiong Yue Grand Assembly, understand? If you dare make any mistakes, just wait and see how I punish you!”

Dongfang Yingxue poked Gu Yuan's forehead, huffed lightly, and then spoke.

Gu Yuan looked at Master Baby's charming appearance, smiled, pecked her on the lips, then patted his chest and guaranteed:

“Revered Master, rest assured. I absolutely won't let you lose face at this Qiong Yue Grand Assembly!”

Gu Yuan spoke with extreme confidence, after all, his current cultivation had already reached the Divine Charm Realm.

You must know, only a very short time had passed since he resolved his Physique issue and stepped onto the Path of Cultivation.

With such Heaven-Defying cultivation speed, coupled with the System's boost.

If he still couldn't reach the peak of the younger generation, he might as well bash his head against a block of tofu and die.

Dongfang Yingxue didn't react much to being kissed by him.

After all, this guy kissed and touched her every day; she was almost used to it.

Dongfang Yingxue also believed what Gu Yuan said.

She truly couldn't comprehend Gu Yuan's Prodigy-like talent.

“I heard Qing Ci say that her Revered Master should be arriving in the next few days. Luoying, it has been a long time since this Revered Master saw her.”

The two chatted sweetly for a while longer, and finally, Dongfang Yingxue mentioned Di Luoying's impending arrival.

Gu Yuan's expression froze upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Ah haha, that Sword Immortal, well, I, I am also looking forward to it, hahaha...”

Gu Yuan gave an awkward laugh, but his strange expression made Dongfang Yingxue extremely suspicious.

“Why do you look like that? Don't tell me you have ideas about Luoying too!? You Rebellious Disciple, be careful she doesn't chop you down with a single sword strike! I won't protect you then!”

Dongfang Yingxue pouted her little mouth and spoke with a hint of jealousy.

Her adorable jealous appearance made Gu Yuan extremely fond of her.

“Hehe, Master Baby, you look so cute when you're jealous~ Come on, let's continue doing some loving things~”

“What loving things... Mm...! You, mm... Rebellious Disciple...”

...“Qing Ci, I heard your Revered Master is arriving in the next few days, cough, is that true?”

Gu Yuan still held a sliver of hope in his heart, wishing that Sword Immortal could arrive a little later.

Yun Qingci was currently eating the dessert Gu Yuan had inexplicably provided, and she paused when she heard him.

“Yes, why wouldn't it be true? But I also find it strange that Revered Master would personally come this time, and she seems rather impatient.”

Uh... Hearing her say that, Gu Yuan felt nervous again.

He understood Luoying's nature; it was one of absolute indifference and coldness.

Before he intervened in her life, she only had a sword for company and cared about nothing else.

But now she was so eager to come to the Jade Moon Sect.

There was only one reason: she might have discovered some clues.

Coupled with the System's warning that the Fated Heroine had begun to suspect something.

This made Gu Yuan feel even more urgent.

It seemed relying solely on the System to complete its upgrade was unreliable, as Heaven knew when the upgrade would succeed.

Gu Yuan thought about it internally and decided that he must try his best not to expose any flaws.

His Identity must absolutely not be revealed!

“Gu Yuan, why do you look so strange? Is it because you're too nervous about meeting my Revered Master?”

Yun Qingci asked with amusement. She had never seen Gu Yuan look like this before.

Hmm... Gu Yuan forced a smile.

Nervous? How could he not be nervous... This concerned his very life!

“You're right, I am a bit nervous. Ah haha, I'm excited, yes, that's it. *Cough*, come, eat some more...”
