Chapter 772: We Can't Not Eat
The next day arrived quietly.
When Gu Heng woke up, he first went to the Sutra Repository and, as usual, checked the vast amount of martial arts techniques inside. Then he took an ancient book and went to the pavilion to continue reading.
He was waiting for Qingluo to come to his door.
However, an hour or two later, the other female disciples arrived at the Sutra Repository first.
They were still talking non-stop about what had happened yesterday.
Although such a major event happened yesterday afternoon, to Gu Heng, it was just a rather interesting little episode.
Anyway, he knew that Zi Yuan had been suddenly killed in an instant, leaving not even ashes behind. She had won, and perhaps she would have more days without being bothered.
Ning Hanyan didn't come back last night; she probably stayed overnight at Hua Yeli's place...
Yeah.
Let the two of them get to know each other better.
It was almost noon when Qingluo arrived with the prepared food. However, compared to yesterday, she seemed downcast, without a smile or a word, and silently placed the food box on the stone table in the pavilion.
"Miss Qingluo, are you worried?"
Gu Heng took out the food and then asked.
"Um……"
Qingluo nodded.
It would be strange if she weren't worried; she knew very well what kind of trouble she had gotten herself into.
She was too weak to get involved in such high-level matters, but since she carried such blood and past, she was bound to get involved, even if she didn't want to.
I didn't have a choice.
Qingluo knew she was very talented, but compared to those great figures who had been immersed in this art for countless years, she was not even as good as an ant.
However, the treasures and secrets left behind by the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal are precisely what those powerful figures are willing to go to great lengths and risk getting involved in bloodshed to obtain.
Her origins in the Demon Realm made her a target that everyone wanted to kill, so from the beginning, Qingluo didn't ask for anything, she just hoped to survive, she didn't have any lofty ambitions or aspirations.
But since she kept such a secret, she was never able to extricate herself from the beginning.
As for Gu Heng... Qingluo really doesn't know him at all, but she imagines he must be a formidable expert. As for whether he will actually save her life, Qingluo doesn't dare to believe it.
But considering that I'm still alive and breathing, I'll let it go.
At least Gu Heng was definitely friendly enough.
"Don't worry, that Ling Yi can't do anything to you. I'll protect you."
Gu Heng took a bite of his food and said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir."
Qingluo said with her head down.
"The treasure of that Crimson Flame Demon Fairy contains what I want, but apart from that, I can give you everything else."
He knew that Qingluo was definitely not calm right now. Even he himself wouldn't dare to say he had everything under control, let alone Qingluo, who was weaker than him.
But for the sake of the system's mission, Gu Heng certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He'd squeeze every last bit out of Ling Yi!
"It's really strange. Mr. Gu doesn't seem to care about that secret treasure that everyone craves, yet he insists on getting involved."
Qingluo looked at him with suspicion in her eyes.
"Ahem, I do care, though not all of it."
"But you don't need to worry about these things, I have my own things to take care of."
Gu Heng couldn't say he had to do it because he was "on a system mission," but he really wasn't interested in the legacy of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal.
because.
The most precious primordial soul lamp in the legacy is in his hands!
The Golden Bird said that this lamp contributed at least half of the power that enabled the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal to conquer the world. If that's the case, then all the remaining legacies combined are no match for this lamp. So why should he care?
It's simply that those legacies contain information about fragments of the world, so we need to get our hands on them.
Then he can further develop the untapped abilities within the Primordial Soul Lamp. He has held this lamp in his hands for a long time, but he didn't know it was a treasure!
The thought of how much time he had wasted in the past made Gu Heng's teeth itch with hatred.
Full of wine and food.
Gu Heng sat quietly in the pavilion, waiting for Ling Yi to send a message so he could go and meet her.
Another hour or two passed.
A bird flew into the pavilion and landed in front of him.
"Elder Gu, may I ask how things are going? Is everything going smoothly?"
The bird's first sound was Ling Yi's, which Gu Heng found extremely annoying. But why did its tone suddenly change...?
It's become much friendlier, hasn't it?
He sounded trembling, as if he was deliberately trying to protect his feelings, and he didn't dare to speak too harshly.
They also showed a level of enthusiasm that was completely absent yesterday.
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, wondering what Ling Yi was up to, but he still steadied his voice and said, "No problem. That disciple Qingluo is with me. Just tell me where we'll meet."
After speaking, Ling Yi manipulated the bird to look back and saw Qingluo sitting there, looking somewhat uneasy.
"That's fine, that's fine."
"We would like to invite Elder Gu to the Tianshui Mountains so that we may have a meeting."
After saying that, the bird burped right there on the table in front of Gu Heng. "Tsk, this guy."
Gu Heng picked up the dead bird with a look of disgust and threw it aside.
"Golden Bird, you have food now."
Then the golden bird came down from its nest and swallowed the bird, which was not much smaller than itself, whole.
Although it despised this thing, it used to eat incredibly powerful demonic beasts, whose meat was delicious and tender, and had even been nourished by spiritual energy. This bird had nothing like that!
It tasted awful!
Ling Yi turned this bird into a puppet, imbuing it with many flavors it disliked.
But it can't go without eating.
Mr. Gu wants to eat it himself, so how could he say he would refuse?
"Does Miss Qingluo know where the Tianshui Mountains are located?"
“I know, it’s not far north of the Flower Extreme Sect.” Gu Heng took out the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc.
"Okay, let's go!"
