On the surface of the lake.
Qing Rou and Wan Er's attitude became much friendlier.
Without this man in front of them, they wouldn't even be able to survive, let alone regain their freedom.
During their time together, he had earned their respect and trust.
Wan Er hurriedly asked: "Senior — — no, senior brother, did you follow that white fox to its world?"
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.
White fox?
How many seconds did the white fox survive in front of Buttercup?
Against the 900 million World Layers, who could predict what would happen in the next second?
At the time, after Qing Rou and Wan Er left, the entire situation took a sudden turn for the worse, so how could he explain it all in a short amount of time?
"I had a fight with someone, then a few things happened, I'm afraid it'll take a long time to explain"
"It's fine, senior brother doesn't really know how to explain it, let's talk about it later" Qing Rou said considerately.
"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I can't explain it in a short amount of time. First, tell me about what happened in this world, I'll tell you about me later" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two girls nodded.
Gu Qing Shan then asked: "What happened to the person who impersonated me?"
Wan Er answered: "He was imprisoned by Shifu — — the alliance's elder council came this time to ask for him"
"They still dared to ask for him?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, they used the excuse that they were secretly investigating the next leader candidate, that's why they sent people here" Qing Rou replied.
"Choosing someone to impersonate me and secretly investigate my Shifu, that's quite the thought"
Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed, her tone already carrying a bit of killing intent.
Qing Rou continued: "Shifu had already used many methods against that person, finally finding out that he came from the cultivation alliance and represented the alliance's elder council"
Wan Er also added: "If it weren't for the necessary considerations, Shifu would have already killed him"
"What were those people's goals?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"To further understand everything about the Hundred Flowers Fairy, to understand the strengths and weaknesses of this world's cultivators, to collect information on weapons, armors and formations"
"Oh?"
Gu Qing Shan silently chuckled and asked: "Which means, they're trying to find my Shifu's weakness, or weakness?"
"Exactly. Speaking of which, the person who impersonated you once did something."
"What is it?"
"He tried to take Xiu Xiu away."
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
Seems like he really did discover Xie Dao Ling's weakness.
In the past, when Xiu Xiu was captured by Xie Dao Ling's mortal enemy, she didn't reveal any information about Xie Dao Ling even after being tortured, which was how Xie Dao Ling managed to escape.
After Xie Dao Ling became a Saint, she finally got her revenge, only to find that Xiu Xiu had fallen into the enemy's hands and was barely breathing.
Xiu Xiu was Xie Dao Ling's master's orphan.
Xiu Xiu protected Xie Dao Ling's life.
So no matter what, Xie Dao Ling wouldn't allow Xiu Xiu to come to any harm.
If Xiu Xiu was captured, Gu Qing Shan couldn't imagine what Shifu would do.
"Is Xiu Xiu alright?" Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.
"What a coincidence. At the time, we had just returned from the Suspended world, so we followed what you said and found Bai Hua sect"
"When we entered Bai Hua sect, both your Shifu and first brother weren't here. Second brother Qin Xiaolou saw that we were related to you, so he made the decision to have us stay in the sect until Hundred Flowers Fairy returned"
"And then — –"
"That's right. We just happened to run into this matter. We thought that you wouldn't be able to return so quickly, and this person has a weakness. Furthermore, Xiuxiu is also your junior sister. So, we picked a thorn and stopped them."
"How did you find a weakness?"
Qing Rou covered her mouth: "We said that he was a pervert who took his junior sister out to do something to her"
Wan Er smiled: "Because we tried to seduce him before, he tried to do something to us, so he thought that was what we really thought, so he didn't dare to take Xiu Xiu out"
Qing Rou spoke in relief: "Fortunately, in order to perfectly impersonate you, the person who impersonated you didn't have a high cultivation, even if they fought, they wouldn't be able to win against us"
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief, then spoke with a bit of fear: "Fortunately, before you returned, I had already removed all the seals on your bodies"
Hearing that, the two girls nodded.
They were both Tribulation realm cultivators, so dealing with an Ascended realm cultivator was a piece of cake.
"After that, your Shifu returned" Qing Rou explained.
"As your Shifu recognized us, she immediately asked us about you"
"Because there was someone impersonating you, we decided to have her use Soul Reading to understand the whole thing, to avoid any more complications"
"Your Shifu was very grateful to us for saving Xiu Xiu, as well as grateful that we worked together to deal with Qi Yan in Shen Wu world, so she asked us if we wanted to stay"
"Since we didn't have anywhere else to go, and since you and your Shifu are both good people, we decided to stay"
Gu Qing Shan cheerfully spoke: "You're welcome, in truth, staying at Bai Hua sect is the best thing for you"
"We also thought the same" Qing Rou replied.
"Compared to before, the days we're living now are truly like deities" Wan Er sighed emotionally.
Qing Rou waved her hand.
The airship slowly landed on the surface of the lake.
"Senior brother, let's go, we need to hurry back to the sect" she said.
"That's right, we need to bring you back to help" Wan Er also said.
"Help?" Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.
This was the day he had the most questions of all.
Because he had been away from this world for too long, he needed to quickly gather as much information as he could.
Qing Rou explained: "Shifu has only just become the leader of the alliance, so many people in the alliance are still unconvinced and want to do something"
"Are those people still at Bai Hua sect?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, the council of elders and Shifu are currently discussing how to deal with the impersonator, they came prepared"
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and thought for a bit, then said: "With Shifu's personality, if someone impersonates me, she'll kill them right away, and if someone wants to deal with Xiu Xiu, she won't let them go"
He asked further: "Why is she discussing this with those people right now?"
Qing Rou replied: "We don't know the specifics, but it seems to be because of the fusing of worlds, Shifu has to rely on them"
"That's right, Shifu seems to be very helpless" Wan Er also said.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
That's right, Shifu needs the cultivation alliance's quota to not break the rules of the 900 million World Layers when she fuses several worlds together.
According to Meow, without the quota, anyone who fuses more than two worlds will be directly erased.
The two girls exchanged glances, then Qing Rou told Gu Qing Shan very seriously: "At a time like this, both Wan Er and I feel that it's best if you're here"
"You trust me that much" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Wan Er smiled sweetly: "Senior brother was able to deal with even such a dangerous situation in the Suspended world, so as long as senior brother is here, you'll definitely be able to help Shifu"
Qing Rou also agreed: "That's right"
"Alright, let's go and meet them" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two girls replied at once: "Yes, senior brother"
The airship turned into a streak of light, flew across the sky and headed towards Bai Hua sect.
…
Bai Hua sect.
The grand hall of conference.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy, Xie Dao Ling, was wearing a bright green feather dress, sitting on her throne of ten thousand flowers.
A cultivator was tightly bound by chains, kneeling at a corner of the hall.
From his appearance, he looked exactly the same as Gu Qing Shan.
At the center of the hall, eight old men were arguing with Xie Dao Ling.
They were all elders of the cultivation alliance, highly respected and responsible for the various matters of the alliance.
Even the leader of the alliance had to rely on them in order to accomplish many things.
One of the elders spoke: "Xie Dao Ling, you're the leader of the alliance, why must you make things difficult for a mere cultivator?"
Xie Dao Ling coldly replied: "He pretended to be my disciple and tried to pry into this world's secrets, do you think I should just let him go?"
Another elder spoke: "That's not the case, he was sent by the alliance to investigate whether or not you had any relations with the Demon Nation. The alliance is doing this in order to select a leader with a clean identity, I hope you can understand"
Xie Dao Ling nodded: "I can understand that, but I've already searched his soul. Although some of his memories are sealed and I can't see them, I can clearly see that he tried to take Xiu Xiu away"
Xie Dao Ling coldly spoke: "Trying to kidnap my disciple, is that also the will of the alliance?"
The elders all had awkward expressions and went silent.
This completely tore away the veil and exposed their plan.
"Xie Dao Ling, we don't want to tell you what to do, we only want to understand you better through your disciple. After that, your disciple will be sent back to us" one of the elders tried to persuade her.
Another elder said, "In the past, in order to become the leader of the alliance, the Daolord of the Tai Hao Celestial Kingdom took the initiative to hand over his son to my sect to be my closed door disciple. Actually, you can learn from him."
"That's right, that way, everyone will be on the same side, there won't be any more trouble" another elder vaguely reminded her.
"Indeed, that is the case"
"That makes sense"
Xie Dao Ling shook her head: "If that's the case, I don't mind being the leader, and I don't want to stay in the alliance any longer, you can all return!"
The elders looked at each other in dismay.
Who knew things would turn out like this?
This Xie Dao Ling, why can't we even talk properly?
But more importantly, if Xie Dao Ling doesn't want to be the leader, who will?
The alliance is about to fall.
If she backed out, those who supported her would definitely fall to her side. Then, they would use this matter to deal with them harshly.
No!
I can't let that happen!
I have to subdue this woman today!
One of the elders spoke with a serious tone: "Xie Dao Ling, let's just forget about this. We can concede a lot of authority to you, but from now on, we hope that you will clearly understand one thing — — the quota that the alliance uses to fuse worlds is actually in the hands of our council of elders"
Xie Dao Ling couldn't help but frown.
Indeed, this was her biggest problem.
To become stronger, she had fused several worlds together, but only after that did she hear that doing so would bring disaster to both herself and her world.
Without the cultivation alliance's quota, everything would be over.
A while later.
Xie Dao Ling asked: "Then, what about this person who pretended to be my disciple?"
"He must be handed to us, because he is one of us, he cannot die in your hands" the elder spoke without hesitation.
When Xie Dao Ling was about to say something else, her expression changed.
The 8 elders also paused.
They looked towards the entrance of the palace.
Only to see a young sword cultivator standing at the entrance, curiously looking around.
Gu Qing Shan!
The real Gu Qing Shan!
At this crucial moment, this disciple of Bai Hua sect had returned to this world!
"Did you see your two junior sisters?" Hundred Flowers Fairy smiled and asked.
"I did" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Are you satisfied with my arrangements?"
"They are also pitiful people, their temperament and talents are top-notch, I approve of accepting them into the sect" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He slowly walked into the palace and respectfully bowed to Hundred Flowers Fairy.
"Shifu, I've returned"
"Hm, go and rest first, I still have something to discuss here, let's talk later"
"Shifu, the matter you want to discuss, is it about that spy?"
Gu Qing Shan pointed at a corner of the palace.
The person who pretended to be him was still tied up, unable to move.
Hearing him say that, Hundred Flowers Fairy knew that this disciple of hers usually has his own thoughts, so she went along with him: "That is indeed the case, Qing Shan, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"I don't think it's a big deal, there's no need to care too much about it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He continued: "Others want to know more about Shifu so that they can get along better with Shifu, that's a good thing — — - don't you think so?"
Halfway through his words, he asked the 8 elders.
The 8 elders were a bit surprised, then nodded and praised: "That's right"
"That's right"
"That's what we've been thinking"
"Gu Qing Shan, try to persuade your Shifu"
Gu Qing Shan nodded to the elders, expressing that she understood.
He continued to persuade Hundred Flowers Fairy: "In truth, among many organizations, only by forming a community of mutual benefit would they be able to get along well with each other and do things well"
"I trust that everyone's intentions are good, Shifu, there's no need for you to go to war over this"
"Ah? You really think so? "Xie Dao Ling asked.
"Yes, Shifu, from now on, we'll all be working together, it's good to get along well" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Saying so, he slowly walked towards the person who impersonated him.
"Shifu, there's no need to tie this cultivator up so tightly, it'll be bad if he holds a grudge against us. If word gets out that our Bai Hua sect doesn't treat our guests well"
He said as he walked.
Hundred Flowers Fairy was stunned.
The few elders praised him loudly.
"Xie Dao Ling, you've taken in a good disciple"
"You're very sophisticated. Very outstanding."
"This is the kind of person who can take care of a sect, very good, very good"
Xie Dao Ling didn't seem to notice anything and didn't say anything, only staring at Gu Qing Shan.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already walked in front of the impersonator.
He looked at the other party and smiled apologetically: "It must be very hard to be trapped by such a barrier, right? I apologize on behalf of my Shifu, in truth, our Bai Hua sect shouldn't have treated you like this "
Seeing him being so easy to talk to, the impersonator sighed in relief and smiled: "My apologies, I truly needed to borrow your identity in order to understand the leader of the Alliance"
"It's fine, it's fine, it's only my duty"
Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder and said without a care.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, you truly are a person with a big heart, this humble one is truly impressed" the impersonator said.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan seemed a bit embarrassed.
"Brother, you're too kind, you don't need to think too much about it, after all — — -"
Hoh!
A sharp flash of sword flashed.
The impersonator's head was sent flying by a single slash, falling in the middle of the hall and rolling in front of the elders.
The headless corpse's neck started to bleed profusely, stood still for a few moments before collapsing.
Clang clang clang!
The heavy chains that bound the corpse kept hitting the cold floor, giving off a series of metallic clangs.
"— — -you're already dead, our Bai Hua sect has always been generous, we won't bother with the dead"
