Nightfall.
A kite rose up in Bai Hua sect.
This was a kite about the size of a cushion, hovering in the air, not moving at all.
Even when the wind weakened and it started to drizzle, the kite still didn't fall.
Seems like this was a kite powered by a formation, it didn't need wind power at all.
"Is this alright?"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the kite and asked.
"It's fine" Hundred Flowers Fairy answered, "cultivation is a hard path to begin with, someone has to force him, otherwise he won't be able to break through again for the rest of his life"
She then said: "Alright, let's get ready for dinner, let's try Qing Shan's cooking"
Xiuxiu, Qing Rou, and Wan Er came over to help with the dishes.
Everyone sat down at the table.
Other than Hundred Flowers Fairy and the white goose, there were also people who occasionally looked up at the sky.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Shifu and the white goose, then at her three junior sisters who were still looking up and couldn't help but clap her hands: "It's going to get cold if we don't eat now"
Everyone picked up their chopsticks.
"It smells so good!"
Xiu Xiu took the first bite and opened her eyes wide.
"Hm, Qing Shan's spirit cooking is quite good" the white goose commented.
Hundred Flowers Fairy tasted a few dishes and nodded in satisfaction.
She thought for a bit, then said: "Qing Shan, Xiu Xiu is still growing, plus Qing Rou and Wan Er have suffered quite a bit, I'll leave the sect's meals to you for the time being, what do you think?"
"Yes, Shifu" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Very well" Hundred Flowers Fairy stood up, saying: "With Qing Shan here, I can rest assured about the sect's food, you can all eat now"
"Shifu, you're not eating anymore?" Xiu Xiu asked in a small voice.
"The people from the cultivation alliance are here" Hundred Flowers Fairy said.
Gu Qing Shan also stood up: "Shifu, I'll go with you"
"No need, the people who came this time are all my supporters, they must've heard the news and came here as soon as possible"
"I see. Why don't I cook a few more dishes and invite them in for dinner?"
"You don't have to be so close to them. I'll go deal with them and come back. I haven't made a decision about the future of this world."
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
It's just a Cultivation Alliance. Although I'm the leader in name, I'm actually being used as a spear by others. It's fine not to be such a leader.
But now, the situation had changed.
All the opposing forces in the Alliance had disappeared.
In the end, whether to take down the entire Cultivation Alliance in one fell swoop or to leave the Cultivation Alliance according to their original plan, this indeed needed to be carefully considered.
After all, this is related to the future of Shen Wu world.
Although the decision was made by Hundred Flowers Fairy, Gu Qing Shan felt that she should also carefully consider the pros and cons.
While he was thinking, the Hundred Flowers Fairy opened her mouth and said, "Qing Shan, when I return, we'll have a good discussion about this"
"Okay." Gu Qing Shan immediately agreed.
Qing Rou asked with concern: "Shifu hasn't eaten yet, how about you eat first?"
The Hundred Flowers Fairy smiled.
Qing Rou was the most meticulous and caring one, if she hadn't joined the sect so late, she would've been a suitable First Sister.
"Forget it, it's not good to keep them waiting, let's see what their attitude is first"
"Not to mention, with my cultivation, I can easily absorb the essence of the Laws of heaven and earth, so food is no longer important to me"
The Hundred Flowers Fairy very seriously said.
Her figure flashed and disappeared from the table.
The girls were all fascinated by what she said.
"I wonder when I'll be able to reach such a realm" Wan Er sighed.
"Let's keep working hard, one day we'll also become as strong as Shifu" Qing Rou encouraged her.
Xiu Xiu also sighed, saying: "Shifu has already transcended the mortal realm, I feel like I'll never be able to reach her realm"
Hearing the three girls' discussion, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but look at the white goose.
The white goose's head was buried in his bowl, happily eating a crystal shrimp dumpling.
After a bit of silence, Gu Qing Shan said: "That's enough, Shifu isn't a normal person, don't compare yourself to her, it's not suitable"
He gave each of them a piece of food.
These were all dishes that they liked to eat.
And so, the disciples of Bai Hua sect picked up their chopsticks again.
While eating, they chatted a bit, asking the white goose a few questions about cultivation.
— — except for Qin Xiaolou who was flying in the sky.
Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he could only sit on the kite and close his eyes to cultivate.
Only after he breaks through Rejuvenation realm and Ascended realm will he be able to return to the ground.
After dinner, Gu Qing Shan put away the plates and bowls, quickly washed them, then took out the basket from the well and placed the chilled fruits on the table.
The brothers and sisters ate the fruits while chatting.
Qing Rou and Wan Er continued to ask the white goose for advice, wanting to understand a certain scripture in detail.
Gu Qing Shan helped Xiu Xiu cut the fruits.
A few moments later, Hundred Flowers Fairy also returned.
Seeing the smile on her face, Gu Qing Shan asked: "How's the situation?"
"Seems like I can't leave the Alliance anymore" Hundred Flowers Fairy said.
"Why not?"
"Right now, everyone supports me as the leader, even the departments in charge of the Alliance are on my side"
"News sure travels fast" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
"That's right, they can't find out anything else, but they know about that matter right away" Hundred Flowers Fairy said.
"Shifu, senior brother, what matter are you talking about?" Xiu Xiu couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qing Shan stroked her head and answered: "The world fusion quota"
"Yes" Hundred Flowers Fairy said, "the entire Alliance's quota has been transferred to me"
She took out a small badge and put it on the table.
This badge was exactly the same as the one the 8 Elders had before, but the quality was much better.
"This is the badge that the world arbitration council just gave me, asking them to give it to me. The documents that came with it have the seal of the world arbitration council's chairman, as well as the signature of the Lord-class Arbitrator Chen Wang"
"Did you scare them?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"A bit" Hundred Flowers Fairy smiled, which was rare for her.
"If that's the case, there's no need to throw away the organization you hold so quickly" Gu Qing Shan said.
Hundred Flowers Fairy replied: "I'm of the same mind — — I'll just sit on this Alliance's leader position for now, at least I won't have to beg anyone in exchange for the corresponding quota"
She looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "I've heard about you going to the Suspended world from Qing Rou and Wan Er"
"You were able to adapt to the situation, act accordingly, and kill a Cryptic realm cultivator in one fell swoop, that was beyond my expectations, and I'm proud of you"
"But then, what happened after that? Your master wants to hear what you went through "
As Hundred Flowers Fairy said this, Xiu Xiu, Qing Rou, and Wan Er all perked up their ears.
After all, it wasn't easy for Gu Qing Shan to return safely, not to mention that she was able to get to know someone like Chen Wang, so they were naturally curious about Gu Qing Shan's experiences.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "Please let Xiao Lou down, Shifu, I believe there are a few things that would benefit him"
"Do you really think so?"
"I do"
Hundred Flowers Fairy waved her hand to summon the kite down.
Qin Xiaolou sat on the kite, still pretending to be meditating.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Alright, second brother, you'll have to listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you. I think there are a few things that should be told as soon as possible, so that our Bai Hua sect can be prepared"
Qin Xiaolou opened his eyes and spoke disappointedly: "I thought you managed to convince Shifu to let me out of seclusion"
Seeing Bai Hua Fairy's stern gaze on him, he quickly shut his mouth.
Gu Qing Shan then began to narrate.
He started from when the two girls left the Suspended world, all the way to how he used [Mystery of All Beings] to counter Rakshasa's [Mystery of All Things] and won the competition.
The white fox appeared, but was easily killed by the True Devil Buttercup.
The realm demon was Buttercup's son.
The truth of the Suspended world was revealed.
At this point, everyone sighed emotionally.
No one cared about the Suspended world's destruction, they were all sighing about Buttercup's suffering.
After that, Gu Qing Shan told them about the existence of Super Dimensional worlds, as well as how she met Bali and Meow.
Then came the call of the Bramble Birds.
Triste's betrayal.
The Bramble Bird princess.
The [Demon King Order]'s continuous upgrade.
The gathering of 2 million demonized people.
The icy peak of the Old Gods.
The lost world underground.
The extinction of the Divine Seed.
The Tianma's hiding and attack.
My deal with the Tianma.
The Wind and Lightning Double Tribulation.
The battle between the [Demon King Order] and the [Heavenly God Order].
Gu Qing Shan told them everything in one breath. Everyone listened with rapt attention, occasionally holding their breaths in nervousness.
Until Gu Qing Shan talked about her homeworld.
"I seem to be able to travel between this world and that world, which means, I'm both a person of this world and a person of that world" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Got it, don't tell anyone about this from now on. And the rest of you, don't tell anyone about Qing Shan either, keep this a secret" Hundred Flowers Fairy told everyone.
Everyone nodded in unison.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
He originally came from another world — — this was one of his biggest secrets, he thought Shifu would be suspicious when he told her about it, but he didn't think it would be so easy.
Seeing his expression, Hundred Flowers Fairy solemnly asked: "Do you know what Returnees are?"
"Returnees?"
"That's right, in truth, this world of ours originally had a secret …" saying so, Hundred Flowers Fairy suddenly changed her mind: "Alright, if you know about this, it won't be a good thing for you. Once you're able to stand on your own like Qing Shan, I'll tell you about it"
She told everyone: "It's already very late, Xiu Xiu, Qing Rou, Wan Er, you should all go back and rest"
"Orchid Hall has always been cleaned, it's still very clean. Qing Shan hasn't been back for a long time, you should also rest well today, I'll tell you about this tomorrow"
"Kite on the roof, continue to cultivate, don't come down until you reach Ascended realm"
"Disperse"
Following Hundred Flowers Fairy's order, everyone had no choice but to disperse, no matter how unwilling they were.
Gu Qing Shan was the last to leave.
Hundred Flowers Fairy looked at him.
"I'll talk to second brother for a bit, remind him again and again" Gu Qing Shan said.
Hundred Flowers Fairy nodded, turned around, and left.
After everyone had left, Gu Qing Shan finally flew up into the air, stopping in front of Qin Xiaolou.
Qin Xiaolou appeared happy and asked: "Junior brother, did you leave some food and wine for me?"
"No, I just have something I want to talk to you about"
"What is it?"
"Second brother, do you know where Qing Rou and Wan Er came from?"
"Not really" Qin Xiaolou answered: "Shifu said they were pitiful people"
Gu Qing Shan then explained: "Qing Rou was the next leader of her world, she started cultivating when she was 3 years old, after 27 years without a single day of rest, she finally broke through to Tribulation realm, becoming the most outstanding cultivator in the world"
"Wan 'er was the daughter of the leader of the strongest sect in her world, but she never slacked off because of her identity. Because of her poor aptitude, she put in far more effort than her peers. She wandered on the edge of life and death several times, but she still bravely advanced. She would rather die than break through to a higher realm."
"The two of them worked so hard, but their worlds were invaded by others, their loved ones were killed, even they themselves were reduced to slaves"
"They had worked so hard, but the result was so unfair, senior brother, whose fault do you think this is?"
Qin Xiaolou was stunned.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Then there's our Shifu. Shifu took an unforeseeable risk to fuse with the world, forcefully increasing her cultivation to a point where even I can't sense it, but she was killed in the end"
"She had no choice but to join the Cultivation Alliance, fighting against the demon armies day and night for the Alliance, only then could she survive"
"But there were still people who infiltrated our world, trying to take away Xiu Xiu and use that to control our Shifu"
"Everyone worked so hard, not only did they have to guard against disasters, they also had to guard against evil people"
"Senior brother, you can keep playing around"
"But just look at everyone, have any of them talked about their hardships?"
"Just now, when we were eating, Qing Rou and Wan Er were still using their time to ask Shifu questions about their cultivation"
"They've already lost everything, but they're still fighting, why do you think they're doing that?"
"Our Shifu couldn't even eat, she's always busy dealing with the outside world"
"Who is she working so hard for?"
Qin Xiaolou was a bit surprised and couldn't help but ask: "So what are you trying to say?"
Gu Qing Shan patted Qin Xiaolou's shoulder: "You're the senior brother, I'm the junior brother, so I can only remind you to pay attention to these things, other than that, there's nothing else I can teach you"
"Finally, senior brother, I just want to ask you one thing"
"Go ahead" Qin Xiaolou replied.
Gu Qing Shan slowly asked: "When Xiu Xiu was almost taken away, if Qing Rou and Wan Er didn't return, would you have been able to do anything?"
Qin Xiaolou was stunned, unable to say anything.
"If something like that had happened, Shifu isn't one to be coerced, she would have used everything she had, even if she had to die, she would take those people down with her"
Gu Qing Shan asked further: "If Shifu had died, and Xiu Xiu had also died, would you still be happy like this every day?"
