Chapter 518: Chapter 78 Qingcang’s Will_3

Just like what Gu Wen did at the Dragon Bridge, they aim to make a steady profit, only earning a bit of price difference within the allowable procedures.

Yu Hua once said that when Ao Tang first started, he would accept benefits from Zhao Feng every day, but he merely said he would pass a message to Yu Hua or put in a good word.

But now he dares to meddle in the matter of conferring the world and the Venerable’s positions, is it because he thinks his merit in reviving the Immortal gives him the right to be so audacious?

Lu Chan explained: "Actually, everyone knows it’s impossible. Ao Tang... well, the Three Pure Ones’ Divine Beast doesn’t accept just anyone’s benefits, he saw the decree in advance and came to ask for wedding candies."

"I see. This indeed aligns with his way of doing things."

Gu Wen suddenly understood and then asked: "Why was he expelled from the Daoist Sect then..."

Before he could finish, a realization dawned on him. Lu Chan didn’t answer; the answer was already clear.

"That old thing thought he was fine, but once this spread out, wouldn’t the decision for the Venerable’s position depend on his whim?"

Lu Chan praised: "Brother, you’re exceptionally clever. Many could guess it at the time, but nobody dared to disbelieve, fearing that even the slightest margin of error would cost them the Venerable’s position. So everyone rushed to send gifts, I did too."

"Why didn’t I know about it?"

Beside him, Chi Yu Zi scratched his head in confusion, "Could it be that old donkey didn’t believe auntie could become a Venerable?"

"Your battle achievements are illustrious, and your fierce reputation is widespread, who would dare ask you for a reward?"

Lu Chan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

The Chi Yu Zi of those days wasn’t as easygoing as now. She maintained her Golden Body Divine General form for hundreds of years, a living embodiment of a Daoist killing god, completely unapproachable.

Only with Gu Wen did she appear adorably silly, but outside, she could twist someone’s head off at any moment.

The two started bickering again, and Gu Wen wore a thoughtful expression.

This trouble Ao Tang created could be big or small; he should lend a hand.

He stood up and said: "I’m going to see the master, do you want to come along?"

Chi Yu Zi nodded, while Lu Chan shook her head, scratching her cheek somewhat sheepishly: "I’ll wait here for you to come back."

She hadn’t broken any laws, but the pressure from Li Yunshang was too great. The bloody storms of the past hundreds of years made Lu Chan afraid to act rashly.

Gu Wen was unique in the world.

"Alright then, let’s have dinner together tonight."

Gu Wen and Chi Yu Zi left the room, and Lu Chan picked up the Yellow Flower Temple on the table to start reading.

——————————

Gu Wen and Chi Yu Zi arrived at the bamboo house in the middle of the Jade Emperor Peak.

They walked in with familiar ease, not needing to wait outside for permission like others, before entering the courtyard, then the house.

Those who could enter the courtyard were all Venerables, and those who could enter the house were all Immortals or the Three Pure Ones.

Inside the house, Li Yunshang was laughing and chatting while drinking tea with an extremely beautiful Fox Fairy. Upon seeing Gu Wen, the latter immediately turned into a White Fox and darted into Li Yunshang’s arms.

Li Yunshang asked with a smile: "What wind brought you to see your master today?"

"As a disciple, it’s quite normal to pay respects to you, isn’t it?"

Gu Wen took two steps forward and respectfully cupped his hands and bowed.

Li Yunshang raised an eyebrow and said: "Come on, what is it that you need from your master? Don’t tell me you two really consummated your relationship?"

Chi Yu Zi answered earnestly: "Gu Wen woke up by himself, he’s even more formidable than the Immortal expected."

Li Yunshang knew things had totally fallen through.

This foolish girl living a lifetime with Gu Wen didn’t sound too bad.

Gu Wen spoke: "Master, about Ao Tang’s matter..."

Before he could finish, Li Yunshang interrupted: "No way, you don’t need to get involved in this."

"Senior Ao has been kind to me, how could I not intervene?"

Gu Wen changed his address, and Li Yunshang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This rebellious disciple truly had a spirit of defiance!

Subtly, the two began to exchange sharp glances.

Li Yunshang said: "Do you think I won’t hit you?"

"Everything has a price, and filial piety comes first, Master, if you want to hit, go ahead."

Gu Wen’s demeanor of willing sacrifice amused Li Yunshang slightly. She grabbed his ear and said: "Let’s see how much you’ve improved this time."

As she finished speaking, both their figures flickered and disappeared, followed by a thunderous boom from outside.

A quarter-hour later, Li Yunshang and Gu Wen returned, the latter sporting a new bruise on his face but at least standing.

This time, Li Yunshang only threw three punches, Gu Wen blocked two and got hit by one. Compared to the last time, he had made some progress, not being beaten down with just one punch.

Back in the house, Li Yunshang took a sip of tea and said: "Give me a suitable reason."
