62: I'm starting to panic...

Chi Lin patted Gu Yuan's shoulder, becoming more excited as she spoke, finally outright encouraging Gu Yuan to intentionally embarrass himself.

"Go away, go away, stop messing around. What kind of thing is that to say?"

Gu Yuan rolled his eyes and poked Chi Lin's forehead as he spoke.

Hmph~

Chi Lin lightly snorted.

"Gu Yuan, you still have time to prepare! Tomorrow, many major powers will be attending. If you really make a fool of yourself, *pfft*, Empress Qiongyue definitely won't let you off!"

Little Noodle said this with a hint of schadenfreude.

This girl was actually quite looking forward to seeing Gu Yuan make a fool of himself.

"That's right, Gu Yuan. If you don't know what to say, we can help you think of something."

Xi Nian also chimed in from the side.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan waved his hand and chuckled.

"No worries. Since I know now, it's still timely. Tomorrow, just enjoy my performance! Oh, right..."

Speaking of which, Gu Yuan suddenly looked at Yun Qingci, who felt a bit awkward under his gaze.

"Gu Yuan, why are you looking at me like that?"

This Little Noodle is getting naughtier and naughtier. Gu Yuan needs to properly teach her a lesson!

"Nothing much, it's just that someone promised to be my little maid until the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly, giving me massages and leg rubs. Oh dear, my shoulder is a bit sore, and my legs feel weak now~"

Gu Yuan said with a smiling Face.

Ugh...!

Yun Qingci's little Face flushed. She glanced at Chi Lin and Xi Nian beside her, who had instantly adopted a spectator posture.

Alas, plastic sisters!

Yun Qingci sighed deeply, then obediently went behind Gu Yuan and started massaging his waist and legs.

A Disciple of the Sword Sect keeps her word!

Hmm... although Little Noodle's technique isn't great.

But... this is an exclusive massage from a Sword Immortal Disciple. This honor isn't something just anyone can enjoy.

Speaking of which, a few days ago, Gu Yuan actually mentioned to Luoying that she should also give him a shoulder and leg rub.

And then... he was smacked away by Sword Immortal's long sword... *cough*... a bit awkward.

"Emperor Lord, I've seen people from Ice Spirit Valley and Qintian Study arriving these past few days. Tsk, your Jade Moon Sect really has a lot of Face."

Chi Lin curled her lips and said that for this Qiong Yue Grand Assembly, all the top powers on the Qihuang Continent had sent representatives.

The other first-rate and second-rate powers, and so on, were countless.

"Qintian Study sent people too? That's quite rare..."

Yun Qingci lightly furrowed her brow and said softly.

You should know that Qintian Study has always adhered to observing heavenly secrets and calculating everything.

Therefore, the Disciples of Qintian Study are always mysterious.

Or, to put it another way, well, they are a bunch of charlatans... So the fact that they sent people to this Qiong Yue Grand Assembly is truly surprising.

"It's not just Qintian Study, Ice Spirit Valley also sent someone, and it was actually the Valley Master herself! Gu Yuan, I heard the Valley Master of Ice Spirit Valley and Empress Qiongyue are close friends?"

Xi Nian asked with some curiosity.

Gu Yuan nodded upon hearing this, then said rather helplessly:

"More than just friends, they're practically... ugh, never mind, let's not talk about it."

Mentioning this made Gu Yuan feel extremely weary of life.

Because he had originally thought that since she was Revered Master's close friend, her temperament should be similar—the cold and aloof type, right?

But... after that Valley Master learned he was Revered Master's Disciple, she was truly hands-on and feet-on with him.

She was extremely flirtatious, like an older sister teasing Xiao Chunnan.

Gu Yuan truly hadn't expected that the seemingly dignified and elegant Valley Master of Ice Spirit Valley would have such a personality.

And Master Baby didn't care at all, watching his awkwardness from the side and looking extremely pleased.

She had a bit of a 'you deserve this' mentality.

Alas, just thinking about it brings tears!

The four of them chatted for a long time before finally dispersing.

Originally, Chi Lin and Xi Nian wanted to talk more with Gu Yuan.

But unfortunately, Little Noodle dragged them both away.

"What's there to talk about with Gu Yuan? Come on, come with me, just let him stay by himself, hehe~"

Since the two of them couldn't directly express their reluctance, they could only follow Little Noodle away with resentment.

Gu Yuan shook his head, finding it amusing.

The way Little Noodle had just looked at him was exactly the look one gives a Scumbag.

Heh, this Little Noodle, she's technically still his little maid right now.

Hmm, she really is a naughty little maid who needs some discipline!

"Uh... Sister Xia, do you always appear so suddenly? It's quite frightening."

Gu Yuan had just finished tidying the table and turned around only to see Xia Gehuang staring at him.

Gu Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

However, Xia Gehuang did not reply, but merely scrutinized Gu Yuan, seemingly pondering something.

This action actually made Gu Yuan feel a bit creeped out.

What's wrong with this Fairy Sister? Why is she staring at me like this?

"Little Fellow, I've realized that when it comes to attracting women, you truly are a Great Master."

Xia Gehuang sincerely sighed with emotion, while also muttering to herself.

"It seems like the only good thing is that he's handsome. I haven't noticed anything else special about him, so why is it that..."

Uh... Gu Yuan's Face was covered in Black Lines upon hearing this.

Wait, did I somehow provoke her?

Otherwise, why would this Sister start with personal attacks the moment she appears?

What does she mean, 'nothing special besides being handsome'!?

"Sister Xia, what are you saying? This is called having charm, alright?"

Gu Yuan said somewhat testily.

After hearing this, Xia Gehuang's expression froze slightly, and then she looked at Gu Yuan with a strange gaze.

"Hmm... charm, you certainly have charm. Little Fellow, I... well... I wish you good luck!"

For some reason, Gu Yuan felt that Xia Gehuang was suppressing laughter in her voice when she said this.

It was... well... it felt like she was anticipating a good show.

Something is wrong, this is very wrong!

Considering Xia Gehuang's near-omniscient power, Gu Yuan felt that she might be hinting at something to him.

In this regard, Gu Yuan's intuition was exceptionally sharp.

"Sister Xia, just tell me what it is. Why wish me good luck? Emmm, please don't scare me."

Gu Yuan swallowed and asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Xia Gehuang merely revealed a faint smile.

"I just said it casually, Little Fellow, don't overthink it. After all, you said yourself that your charm is great, so how could anything happen? Right?"

Well, if Gu Yuan was only suspicious just now, he can now be 100% certain that Xia Gehuang is definitely hinting at something.

What exactly is it?

Gu Yuan was starting to panic a little.
