After a few attempts, he finally understood Qi Yan's intentions!
In that split second, Gu Qing Shan's mind went back and forth countless times.
He couldn't help but recall a few things from before.
When he returned to the sect, the airship full of resources once again appeared in his mind.
Those were resources used to exchange for Grand Elder Wang Hong Dao's life-saving pills.
A world where resources couldn't be replenished …
Not to mention, Guang Yang sect's strongest combatant was under someone else's control, so it was normal for Rakshasa Peak to covet Guang Yang sect.
Under such circumstances, Qi Yan still wanted to dual cultivate with the famous Rakshasa's Daughter.
This was no different from playing with fire.
However!
Although Qi Yan was heartless and selfish, he wasn't an idiot.
Yes, he was lustful, but in so many years of history, he had never made a mistake because of that.
He was even cautious of a beauty like Chu Liu because of how skilled she was in formation.
This was a smart and cautious person.
Under what circumstances would such a person take such a huge risk and ask for help from an outside force?
Unless his situation was so bad that he had no choice but to do so …
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a few moments had passed.
Seeing how silent Qi Yan was, the two Hallmasters thought that he was still stubborn and wouldn't listen.
They couldn't hold back their anger any longer.
Zhao Wu Chui couldn't help but clench his fists.
Ye Ying Mei's expression slowly turned cold.
At this point, Qi Yan suddenly sighed deeply.
He stood up, clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the edge of the platform.
"Ying Mei sis, old Zhao, do you think I'm an idiot?" he asked.
The two Virtualized realm cultivators froze.
We were talking about Rakshasa Peak, why did it suddenly jump to you?
Idiot — — -
They slowly came back to their senses.
"That's right, although you're cold, cruel, and unreasonable …" Zhao Wu Chui muttered.
Ye Ying Mei also couldn't help but nod.
From what she could see, Qi Yan really doesn't do anything stupid.
He's a very smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to reach Virtualized realm.
If that's the case, why would he do something like this?
The two Virtualized realm cultivators thought at the same time.
As their anger subsided, new questions arose in their minds.
"Qi Yan, tell me honestly, why do you insist on pursuing Rakshasa's Daughter?" Ye Ying Mei asked.
Gu Qing Shan was silent for a few breaths, her mind quickly processing all the information.
They were trying to rope in their disciple, Gu Qing Shan.
Although this kind of solicitation was hidden in the gifts given by the elders, it was aboveboard, and even Gu Qing Shan would not suspect it.
But Zhao Wu Chui actually explained it to Qi Yan.
For a Virtualized realm great cultivator like him to take the initiative to explain to the enemy was already superfluous.
This was a clue.
Zhao Wu Chui and Ye Ying Mei both had their own thoughts about 'Gu Qing Shan'.
Some sort of thought …
There was too little information, and it was impossible to deduce anything.
Let's change our way of thinking.
When did their attitude toward "Gu Qing Shan" change?
That's right, ever since I told him that I haven't completed the ceremony to acknowledge him as my master.
As long as the ceremony is not completed, Gu Qing Shan is not Qi Yan's official disciple.
But the apprenticeship ceremony would be completed sooner or later.
"Gu Qing Shan" would also become Qi Yan's disciple sooner or later.
Not to mention, Qi Yan wouldn't give up his disciple to someone else, that doesn't make sense.
If that's the case, then — — -
There's only one situation in which Zhao Wu Chui and the others could obtain "Gu Qing Shan".
Qi Yan is dead.
Indeed, that's the only answer.
From Qi Yan's end, it's easy to deduce Qi Ruo Ya's current situation.
Wang Hong Dao still hasn't appeared.
Where did he go?
It's obvious.
Gu Qing Shan's heart turned cold.
From this conjecture, she was able to deduce everything she saw before and found the corresponding clues.
The two Hallmasters are afraid of Rakshasa's Daughter.
They didn't mention a single word about sect master Qi Ruo Ya's Tribulation.
Grand Elder Wang Hong Dao was absent from the meeting.
No one knows where Wang Hong Dao is.
Other than that, the most important piece of information was: The sect's spirit stones have been delayed.
Could this be the reason for everything?
Gu Qing Shan recalled the airship full of resources.
Thoughts after thoughts appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind, then quickly linked them together to form a conjecture.
A few moments later.
Zhao Wu Chui spoke impatiently: "Qi Yan, Hallmaster Ye is asking you a question, why aren't you answering?"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: "Because I don't think my father will be able to survive this Tribulation"
Like a bolt of lightning, the two Virtualized realm cultivators were so shocked that they almost wanted to attack her.
"Why?" Zhao Wu Chui asked.
He lowered his gaze, trying his best to hide his killing intent.
"He actually has a kind of injury that hasn't healed yet, it's very difficult for him to face the Tribulation" Gu Qing Shan said.
Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui exchanged glances.
Seems like Qi Yan doesn't know the other truth.
It was now that the two Hallmasters relaxed a bit.
"Qi Yan, I don't believe you'd tell me such a secret" Zhao Wu Chui said.
Ye Ying Mei also shook her head.
"This is actually a very secondary matter, not as important as whether or not we can survive" Gu Qing Shan suddenly said something out of nowhere.
Hearing that, both Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui's expressions changed.
"Us?"
Ye Ying Mei muttered.
Zhao Wu Chui couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean? Qi Yan, is there something wrong with your head? You can't even understand what you're saying "
Gu Qing Shan suddenly became furious, quickly walked in front of Zhao Wu Chui and poked him in the chest.
He shouted: "Zhao Wu Chui! We're all done for, we won't even have a chance to reincarnate if we die in the realm demon's mouth! And you're still trying to act like that in front of me! "
This sentence struck deep into Zhao Wu Chui's heart.
He froze.
"What do you mean, I don't understand" he muttered.
He didn't dare to confirm what the other party was talking about.
But someone like Qi Yan wouldn't joke around with his life.
Ye Ying Mei spoke in a low voice: "Qi Yan, explain yourself"
Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed: "How much longer do you think we can live?"
"Don't try to scare us, we're alive and well" Zhao Wu Chui replied.
— — -we're alive and well, but you're going to die.
Zhao Wu Chui silently added.
But Qi Yan continued: "My father is about to die, Guang Yang sect only has a heavily wounded Cryptic realm cultivator left, which is your Shifu, Wang Hong Dao"
"How could Guang Yang sect defend against Rakshasa Peak's attack like that?"
Zhao Wu Chui's expression darkened and said: "That's why we hope that you won't provoke — — -"
"Provoke? You're saying that I'm provoking them? "
Gu Qing Shan laughed out loud, as if she just heard something funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Wu Chui asked.
"Rakshasa Peak has three Cryptic realm cultivators, as long as they really want to kill us, do you think we can avoid them just because we don't provoke them?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Zhao Wu Chui was speechless.
Ye Ying Mei tried to explain for him: "At least we still have Grand Elder Wang Hong Dao, Rakshasa Peak wouldn't dare …"
Ye Ying Mei couldn't say anything else.
She also felt how powerless her words were.
Grand Elder Wang Hong Dao needs Rakshasa Peak's pills every day to keep himself alive.
Rakshasa Peak doesn't even need to do anything, as long as they stop trading pills, they can just wait for Guang Yang sect's strongest force to die.
The two of them fell silent.
Indeed, this is the real situation.
This is the situation that the three Hallmasters have no choice but to face, aside from the sect's internal strife.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them and calmed down a bit.
Only by raising the matter to this level would the two Hallmasters seriously listen to what he has to say.
If he still talks about the sect's internal matters, they'll only look at him like he's a clown, waiting for him to finish, waiting for him to die at the hands of the returning Wang Hong Dao.
After a while, Zhao Wu Chui spoke up: "Is this the reason why you provoked this generation's Rakshasa's Daughter?"
He stubbornly used the word 'provoked', as if all of this was caused by her.
Gu Qing Shan's expression was solemn as she stared at Zhao Wu Chui.
"What is it?" Zhao Wu Chui asked uncomfortably.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
"Old Zhao, tell me the truth, how much resources does the sect have left to trade with Rakshasa Peak for pills?"
"Of course there's still a lot of — — -" Zhao Wu Chui opened his mouth to speak.
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand to cut him off: "Stop! Don't try to lie at a time like this, this is related to our survival, I hope we can be honest with each other "
"If you're honest with me, I'll be honest with you too. I've found a way to survive."
The two Hallmasters stared at him.
"A way to survive?" Ye Ying Mei fell into thought. "Qi Yan — — -"
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand to cut her off, saying: "Rakshasa Peak has three Cryptic realm cultivators, do you really think they care about our survival? Their resources are only enough for their own use "
"People like you and I, if we take a step further, we'll threaten their position, if we take a step further, they'll need to spend resources to support us, if you were them, what would you do?"
Gu Qing Shan smiled at Ye Ying Mei: "Ying Mei sis, I'm sure the sect's three formation users would be better off than us"
Ye Ying Mei's mouth opened and closed a few times, but couldn't say a single word.
Indeed, Qi Yan was telling the truth.
Countless sects have been destroyed, the same thing happened.
Gu Qing Shan leaned forward, looking at Zhao Wu Chui: "Old Zhao, I'll say it again, tell me, how many resources does the sect have left to use"
He continued: "Tell me the truth and I'll tell you what our only way to survive is"
Zhao Wu Chui stared at Gu Qing Shan for a while before speaking: "I remember you weren't at the sect a while ago"
"I was" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"A lot of people left with you, none of them came back" Ye Ying Mei also said.
"Where did you go?" Zhao Wu Chui asked.
"Old Zhao, tell me your story first, then I'll tell you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What if you're lying to me?"
"There are two of you, and my realm is much lower than yours"
Hearing that, Zhao Wu Chui lowered his head.
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment.
After a while.
Zhao Wu Chui struggled to open his mouth and said something.
"Resources … can still support one last pill exchange"
Ye Ying Mei's expression changed.
She exclaimed in shock: "Old Zhao! How could that be! I remember last time you said it was enough for a few more years "
Zhao Wu Chui lowered his head, still not saying anything.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
It seems Guang Yang sect's situation is even more dangerous than I thought.
But my situation has turned for the better because of this.
It's only now since he came to this world that he had a bit of confidence.
— — confidence to survive.
Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice: "Old Zhao, it must be Wang Hong Dao who told you to say that to calm everyone down, right?"
Zhao Wu Chui still didn't say anything, only nodded unnoticeably.
Ye Ying Mei's face went pale.
She seemed to have thought of something and gritted her teeth: "He even lied to me …"
"Wang Hong Dao needs pills to keep himself alive, if he wants to continue living, he needs to monopolize all of the sect's resources until there's nothing left in the sect" Gu Qing Shan said.
He sighed: "You two must know this very well, you just don't want to admit it"
The two of them went silent.
This was a common problem for everyone, before despair has arrived, they'll always think that everything is fake.
Looking at them, Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned.
Maybe it wasn't just a fantasy.
Maybe Wang Hong Dao used some sort of method to make them not dare to resist.
Then, if I can't move them now, everything will fall apart.
The situation has reached a point where I have to see the truth.
Sure enough, Zhao Wu Chui suddenly looked up and stared at him: "I've been very honest"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"Truthfully, I'm also a bit desperate, that's why I risked letting you know about this. If Shifu finds out that I've leaked the secret, he won't let me go" Zhao Wu Chui said.
"That's true" Gu Qing Shan agreed.
"Then, Hallmaster Qi, can you show us your sincerity?" Zhao Wu Chui asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Zhao Wu Chui.
Zhao Wu Chui also looked at him.
Zhao Wu Chui's eyes carried a bit of hope, his body tensed up.
If I let someone like Qi Yan know about the sect's secret, Shifu definitely won't let me go.
If Qi Yan still tries to trick me this time, I'll kill him even if it costs my life.
"I do have a way" Gu Qing Shan said.
Saying so, he couldn't help but look around.
Seeing that, Zhao Wu Chui smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, this time, all the formations are activated"
In other words, sometimes the formations aren't even fully activated.
The sect's lack of resources is already this shocking.
Gu Qing Shan walked in front of the two of them, lowered his voice and said something.
