Noticing the tense atmosphere, Gu Qing Shan quickly changed the topic and asked: "What have you been busy with lately?"
"Preparing to break through"
"Ah, preparing to break through, hm, very good" as Gu Qing Shan said so, he froze.
He looked at Ning Yuechan as if there was something strange on her face.
"You — — aren't you Rejuvenation realm peak?" he hesitantly asked.
"That's right"
"Then — –"
"That's right"
"You're only in your early twenties!"
"Hmph!"
Ning Yuechan regained her composure and proudly raised her chin.
Gu Qing Shan felt like he was being hit by a storm.
No wonder the very first Destiny Quest that the War God UI gave was to save Ning Yuechan.
What did the Destiny Quest say at the time?
Gu Qing Shan quickly opened the completed Quest and checked the description.
[Quest description: Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan are both fallen characters buried deep within history, if you can change their fate, you will be able to change the course of history]
Reading through, Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Ning Yuechan truly lived up to the War God UI's evaluation, already about to break through to Ascended realm at such a young age.
In the entire history of humanity, there were many talented people, but people like her couldn't even be counted on one hand.
This kind of talent is truly the favored child of fate, as soon as she escapes the cage of life and death, she would turn from a cocoon into a butterfly and become a true legend.
Perhaps she will be humanity's 4th Saint in the future?
Sure enough, this world's history is slowly being changed.
Then …
After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan made up his mind.
He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a flower that gave off a faint fragrance.
"It's been a while, this flower is for you"
"Why would I want to give you a flower? I don't care "saying so, Ning Yuechan received the flower.
This was a top-notch Dragon's Tear. It was extremely beneficial for nourishing the soul. Its fragrance was light and elegant, lingering for a long time. If one took it back and stuck it in a water bottle, they could live for several years.
"The flowers are naturally to curry favor with you." Gu Qing Shan said with a straight face.
"You're a disciple of a Saint. Do you still need to suck up to me?" Ning Yuechan smiled.
Gu Qing Shan raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Can't someone fawn over you? Do you want to suck up to me instead? "
Ning Yuechan looked at him from head to toe, just like how Gu Qing Shan looked at him earlier.
She smiled and shook her head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Foundation Building realm …"
This string of "tsk, tsk, tsk" directly cut off Gu Qing Shan's momentum that had just surged up.
Ning Yuechan was in a good mood as she had successfully turned the tables.
"Forget it if you don't want it." Gu Qing Shan reached out for the flowers.
"Who said I don't want it?" Ning Yuechan hurriedly dodged his hand and hid the flowers behind her back.
"Fine, fine, fine, it's always going to be you" Gu Qing Shan begrudgingly said.
Ning Yue Xi ignored him, raised the Dragon's Tear Cup up, wrinkled her nose and sniffed it, a triumphant smile on her face.
The airship picked up Gu Qing Shan. A few moments later, the two of them landed in the wilderness.
Flying for a long time will definitely draw the demon's attention, so it's safer to run on the ground.
After they left.
A dream-like figure appeared from the void of space.
This figure was transparent, thin as a cicada's wing, as if it was only the silhouette of someone.
A slender figure, a face that could steal the soul of a city, flashed and disappeared.
"The camp …"
A soft whisper, as the figure flew away, became almost undetectable.
At dusk, Gu Qing Shan returned to the camp.
He took out a Communication Talisman and left. A few moments later, Leng Tian Xing also arrived.
Leng Tian Xing looked at Ning Yuechan in surprise, then at Gu Qing Shan, as if he understood something.
But Leng Tian Xing's expression didn't change at all, only casually greeted Ning Yuechan.
— — -this Leng Tian Xing is a sly one, but he knows his limits.
"How's the Quest?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It's done, we need to turn in the Quest now, otherwise we'll be scolded" Leng Tian Xing answered.
The three of them entered the camp together, heading towards the camp's tent.
Bai Hua Palace.
A Flame Talisman flew in, landing in Hundred Flowers Fairy's hand.
Hundred Flowers Fairy received it, scanned it with her inner sight, then laughed.
"Interesting, very interesting!"
Her face was full of curiosity and excitement when she saw something new.
Xuanyuan Tianzun and the Great Monk of Sorrow both stood up, looking at her with a serious expression.
"Fairy, tomorrow is the decisive battle, what could possibly make you so relaxed?" Xuanyuan Tianzun's tone was a bit strict.
He's never talked to her like this before, so this time, he was a bit angry.
The two strongest people in the world, sitting there for over an hour, only to be told that it was very interesting.
Even the Great Monk of Sorrow's expression didn't look too good.
Hundred Flowers Fairy looked at them, then understood.
"Very well, tomorrow is the decisive battle, I'll tell you the information I just received" she smiled and said.
"We're all ears" the two Saints spoke at the same time.
A few moments later.
The three Saints all had different expressions on their faces.
The Great Monk of Sorrow clasped his hands together and chanted: "Sādhu, sādhu, it's a good thing we already knew about this, otherwise we would've been in big trouble"
Xuanyuan Tianzun asked: "But is this information accurate? This kind of thing can't be wrong "
Hundred Flowers Fairy replied: "My disciple has never lied to anyone, not to mention this kind of important information"
"Then we'll head to the frontline right away to eliminate the threat" Xuanyuan Tianzun said.
"Wait" Hundred Flowers Fairy smiled, "Don't be hasty, Tianzun, my disciple has a suggestion for this, I think it's a secret military strategy, we can try it out"
She had a warm smile on her face, her tone was slow and polite, obviously she was in a good mood.
"Secret military strategy … this …" Xuanyuan Tianzun muttered in a low voice.
Being able to find this much information is already quite good, but how can something like military strategy be made up so easily?
But following Hundred Flowers Fairy's explanation, Xuanyuan Tianzun's eyes opened wide, his mouth opened wide and didn't close for a long while.
Half an hour later, the three Saints finished their discussion and flew out of Bai Hua Palace on a cloud.
…
The camp.
Leng Tian Xing and Gu Qing Shan handed in their mission, but were asked to stay by Ding Yuan General Wu Xing Wen.
Wu Xing Wen cleared his throat and asked: "Gu Qing Shan, when you came to the camp before, did you kill someone called Li Chu Chen?"
— — -isn't this guy annoying? Why is he still bothering about this? Gu Qing Shan glanced at him: "It's not like you don't know"
"Why did you kill him?" Wu Xing Wen asked.
"He disobeyed orders and ran away" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Wu Xing Wen looked at him and suddenly smiled.
His smile was very proud of himself.
"That doesn't seem right, hm, someone else seems to have a different story" saying so, he waved his hand.
A few people came in from outside the camp.
They were Spirit Beast sect's people.
"Murderer!" Li Chu Chen's brother shouted.
Gu Qing Shan squinted her eyes.
Spirit Beast sect's elder stopped the excited disciples, stepped forward and bowed to Wu Xing Wen.
He spoke: "General, we've found evidence that proves that Gu Qing Shan was secretly taking revenge, recklessly killing her comrades"
"Very well, show me the evidence, this General will definitely uphold justice" Wu Xing Wen leaned back on his chair and spoke kindly.
Spirit Beast sect's elder took out five Spirit Beast Bags and placed them on the ground.
"These are the Spirit Beast Bags that Li Chu Chen left behind, taken from the dead cultivator's belongings" he said.
"I was the one who put them there" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"That's why the heavens have their own way of dealing with retribution" Li Chu Chen's brother gritted his teeth.
Spirit Beast sect's elder glared at Gu Qing Shan, then opened the five Spirit Beast Bags one by one.
Five different Spirit Beasts immediately jumped out.
They were telling a completely different story to all the cultivators here.
In their narration, Gu Qing Shan was always looking for trouble with Li Chu Chen, but Li Chu Chen didn't know how to curry favor with him, instead messing up Gu Qing Shan's plans and offending Gu Qing Shan.
At the end, Ding Yuan General Wu Xing Wen cut them off and said: "So, what you're saying is that Gu Qing Shan purposely took revenge on Li Chu Chen?"
The five spirit beasts all nodded.
Wu Xing Wen waved his hand and said: "Bring Bai Hai Dong and the other five female cultivators"
As soon as they arrived, Wu Xing Wen immediately ordered [Questioning Heart].
The result of [Questioning Heart] was also very clear, exactly the same as what Gu Qing Shan said before.
Wu Xing Wen looked at everyone, then at the five spirit beasts, a bit troubled.
The cultivators all passed the [Questioning Heart] test.
As spirit beasts, their soul vessel is different from humans, so they can't be [Questioning Heart].
At this time, among the spirit beasts, the blue-eyed slanted tiger spoke in human language: "You're all humans, so your perspective is different from us spirit beasts. We can see Li Chu Chen being bullied and wronged, but you can't see it at all"
"So, your [Questioning Heart] test isn't wrong, but you don't know what kind of person Gu Qing Shan is"
"The conclusion is that Gu Qing Shan has always wanted to harm Li Chu Chen, so she finally found a chance to do so, but on the surface, she said that he didn't follow orders" it said.
"Bullshit!"
"Bullshit!"
"That's not it at all"
Bai Hai Dong and the other female cultivators loudly refuted.
At this point, Spirit Beast sect's Elder stood up and said: "How about we use [Soul Search]?"
As soon as he said that, everyone went silent.
[Soul Search] is a relatively difficult technique to use, it comes with a certain amount of risk. If the cultivator using [Soul Search] isn't careful, it's very easy to cause permanent damage to the target's soul vessel.
"I agree! That way, the truth will be revealed "Wu Xing Wen slammed the table.
The fact that a Bai Hua sect disciple had her soul searched has a very deep meaning behind it.
Even if Gu Qing Shan's innocence is proven later on, she'll still be suspected of harming her colleague, so she's already had her soul searched.
Once a person's soul is searched, they'll immediately be labeled as a suspect.
No matter what happens from now on, Gu Qing Shan's reputation will be tarnished, people will look at her with suspicion.
From now on, Bai Hua sect disciples won't be able to raise their heads anymore, not to mention being on par with Blue Clouds sect.
Gu Qing Shan didn't even look at Spirit Beast sect's Elder, only looked straight at Wu Xing Wen and smirked: "[Soul Search]? You really can think of something like that "
"I know how to use [Soul Search], let me do it" Spirit Beast sect's Elder rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
Ning Yuechan stood up and stopped him.
"Saintess, what do you mean by this, even the Great General agreed" Spirit Beast sect's Elder was surprised.
"You can't use [Soul Search]" Ning Yuechan spoke: "Don't you think you're going too far by not letting him go?"
