Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 687 - 687 647 The Whereabouts of Huang Yueqing Part 1

687: Chapter 647: The Whereabouts of Huang Yueqing (Part 1) 687: Chapter 647: The Whereabouts of Huang Yueqing (Part 1) The Sky Martial Sect’s Martial Artist selection concluded swiftly.

In total, thirty Martial Artists were recruited into the Sky Martial Sect.

Guu Lie personally chose two individuals to be his Direct Disciples.

After the selection ended, the crowd dispersed, and Zhao Shengyang walked towards Gu Xiaosang.

“Follow me, the master wants to see you,” he said.

He approached Gu Xiaosang, casting a glance over the few people remaining in the vicinity.

His gaze landed on Lu Chuan, from whom he sensed an unusual aura.

However, since Lu Chuan had obscured his face, it was merely a brief encounter.

Gu Xiaosang followed him towards Guu Lie without delay.

Seated in a chair, Guu Lie gently sipped tea from the cup beside him.

Upon seeing Gu Xiaosang approach, he immediately revealed a smile.

“Xiaosang, pack your belongings and come with us to the Sky Martial Sect.

There, you will begin your cultivation career.

Under my guidance, you will grow rapidly.”

However, her participation in the competition was not for the sake of becoming a disciple of the Sky Martial Sect.

“Old sir, could you please visit the Hundred Cranes Tower this evening?

I would like to have a private conversation with you,” she said.

At her words, Guu Lie frowned slightly and asked, “What do you wish to discuss with me?”

“You will know once you get there.”

Zhao Shengyang immediately showed displeasure and said, “Mind your tone.

My master is not your servant and doesn’t need to follow your commands!”

“I am not compelling him, but I have important matters to share with him that can’t be discussed here.”

“Are you worried that I might harm your master?

I don’t have the power to do so.”

Zhao Shengyang didn’t know how to respond and turned his head to look at Guu Lie.

“It’s all right.

Since you have something to tell me, I will make the trip,” Guu Lie said.

“However, my time is precious.

I can only stay for a few minutes before I must return to deal with other matters.”

Gu Xiaosang nodded in satisfaction.

“Good, I’ll wait for you at the entrance then.”

After speaking, she turned and left the area.

Watching her departing figure, Guu Lie stroked his beard and furrowed his brows.

“What could this young girl want to talk about?

She doesn’t even know me,” he mused.

“Never mind, let’s go and see.

She’s just a little girl; I’m hardly afraid that she might harm me,” he thought as he stood up to attend to the selection results.

…

Gu Xiaosang returned to Lu Chuan and said with a smile, “He agreed and will go there tonight.”

“Good, your part is done.

Leave the rest to me,” Lu Chuan replied.

“I’m curious about the Divine Tree branch too.

Can I listen in?” Gu Xiaosang asked with wide eyes filled with anticipation.

“You being there would only complicate matters.

Better not,” Lu Chuan said.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Xiaosang’s face fell immediately.

“So once the mill is done grinding, the donkey is killed.

Heartless!” she exclaimed.

Gu Xiaorou tried to reason, “Don’t always look for excitement.

Lu Chuan will naturally share what he knows when he returns.”

“But I want to know as soon as possible…” Gu Xiaosang said with a hint of disappointment.

Gu Xiaorou could only respond with a helpless smile.

At that moment, Zhan Tianyu, who was standing by, curiously looked at Lu Chuan.

“What’s the story with this branch you’re talking about?” he asked.

“It’s something rich in Spiritual Energy,” Lu Chuan explained.

“That’s vague.

I could buy a bottle of elixir pills anywhere that contains Spiritual Energy,” Zhan Tianyu said with an embarrassed smile.

Immediately thereafter, he continued his cautious inquiries, “Was the Hua family’s Spirit Tree revival achieved with this thing?”

Lu Chuan gave a slight nod, “Yes, I managed to revive the Hua family’s Spirit Tree using this.”

Hearing this, Zhan Tianyu couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, “Then…

this small Divine Tree branch contains such astonishing Spiritual Energy; just how incredible must the Spiritual Energy contained within the Divine Tree itself be?”

“It’s truly terrifying.

The world is full of wonders; to think that such a miraculous thing exists!” he exclaimed.

Lu Chuan continued, “I too know very little about this thing, therefore, I am currently trying to figure out what’s going on.”

“Let’s go.

Come nightfall, I shall head to the Hundred Cranes Tower.

This Guu Lie must surely know something.”

They temporarily returned to the Zhan Residence.

It wasn’t until dusk that Lu Chuan put his veil back on and left the Zhan Residence.

Hundred Cranes Tower wasn’t the most luxurious restaurant in Dubhe City.

It was located in a more remote area in the north of the city, where there were fewer people and the business was quite ordinary.

Standing in front of Hundred Cranes Tower, Lu Chuan waited for Guu Lie to appear.

Before long, he saw a figure in a red robe with flame patterns approaching.

Guu Lie, accompanied by his disciple Zhao Shengyang, walked toward this direction.

Before reaching the entrance, Zhao Shengyang, fuming with anger, said, “Gu Xiaosang said she would wait for us at the entrance, where is she?”

“Isn’t this toying with us?

Master, can you really take in such a person?

She has no respect for her elders at all!”

Guu Lie raised his hand in a calming gesture.

“Don’t be rash when facing issues.

Being rough and unrefined, it’s hard to achieve anything great.”

“If we are toyed with, then let it be.

After all, there’s only one chance.

If she doesn’t cherish it, she’s the one at a loss, not us.”

Having said this, he turned to leave.

He wouldn’t choose to go inside to look; if Gu Xiaosang wasn’t waiting for them at the entrance, they would definitely not enter.

As soon as he turned, Lu Chuan quickly approached.

“Old sir, may I have a word?”

Guu Lie paused in his steps, turned back to look at Lu Chuan, “What do you want from me?”

“Remove your veil.

Without showing your face, you have no right to speak to my master!” Zhao Shengyang spoke arrogantly.

But the next moment, he felt a familiar aura emanating from Lu Chuan.

“You’re the person from today!

You’re in cahoots with that Gu Xiaosang!”

Zhao Shengyang turned back to Guu Lie, “Master, I knew there was fraud.

That Gu Xiaosang’s intentions in participating in the Martial Artist selection are impure!”

Guu Lie, still with a tranquil expression, looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Speak, what do you want from me?

My time is precious, and I don’t want to waste too much of it here.”

“Old sir, you from the Sky Martial Sect should recognize me.”

“Heh, why don’t you take off your veil first before making such a claim.”

Lu Chuan continued, “Your Third Elder, has he not returned in a long while?”

Guu Lie’s brow creased slightly; this was something only people within the Sky Martial Sect knew.

Where did this person get his information?

“What is it you want to say?”

“I know the whereabouts of your Third Elder; he is still in Flower City.”

Guu Lie’s eyes opened slightly wider as he stared at Lu Chuan, “What did you say?

You know the whereabouts of the Third Elder?

Where is he now?”

Lu Chuan felt relieved inwardly; Huang Yueqing’s death was still unknown to the Sky Martial Sect.

“I have a few questions for you.

If you answer them truthfully, then naturally, I will tell you Huang Yueqing’s whereabouts.”

Guu Lie’s brows tightened, and he looked at Lu Chuan with suspicion.

“What do you want to ask?

What if I tell you what you need to know, and you just walk away?”

“With such strength as yours, are you really afraid that I might renege?”

Upon hearing this, Guu Lie nodded slightly and then said, “Ask what you will.

I will answer as best as I can.”
