Chapter 973: The Little Girl's Efforts
"Oh... if you're confident, then go ahead and do it."
Gu Heng roughly understood what Xiao Bai meant, but there was no need to ask too many questions.
Just now in the burial ground, some of the dragon cubs were indeed not very polite to him at first, but Gu Heng didn't think that much at the time. He was just temporarily brought in to fill in, so he didn't have much time to care about whether others were polite to him or not.
Looking back now, I realize I was indeed quite offended.
Talk about it.
Gu Heng also felt that it was really too extravagant of him to use the "Secret Diagram of Destiny Creation" as a reward!
He didn't know how powerful this thing was before, but now he does! Although there are plenty of sheets of paper in the Destiny Creation Secret Diagram, enough for him to tear up, it's not something he can just tear up whenever he wants!
But once the water has been spilled, it's not easy to take it back.
As for now...
If any of those dragons had a grudge against Xiaobai and he had given away the reward, it would be a huge loss. It would be good if he could get it back.
"I know, but we can't do it now; the timing isn't right."
Xiao Bai knew what was going on.
In a one-on-one fight, I'm confident I can crush Yin Qu like a stink bug!
However, Yin Qu is definitely being protected by a powerful dragon from the Yin Yuan clan at this moment, so it's not a good time to make a move. He needs to wait until Yin Qu is alone so that he can finish the battle quickly. Besides, Xiao Bai knows that there will be "guests" coming to see him later.
Since that's the case, it's better to wait a while in Burning Heaven City.
“Xiao Bai, I was also trapped for a while…” Gu Heng sighed, his eyes becoming deep and urgent: “How have the others been doing during this time?”
This is what he most wanted to ask.
The flow of time within the Epoch Graveyard is completely different from that outside. He can't perceive anything there, but it's a completely different story for others.
While inside, besides figuring out how to get out, what he missed most were his old acquaintances and friends, especially his only apprentice, Qin Yiyao, that stubborn and clingy little girl.
She's the kind of person who's clingy to him.
Of course, she can't be considered a little girl anymore.
Over the past decade or so, she might now be a charming and alluring woman with a cold and aloof allure?
Gu Heng thought about it for a moment and realized that the contrast was not just big, it was huge! "Master, please rest assured, everyone is still alive and has made a name for themselves."
Xiao Bai wasn't in a hurry; he slowly recalled what he had seen and heard since ascending from the Origin Realm.
Unknowingly.
This has become a memory worth cherishing.
"The first five of us ascended from the Origin Realm..."
Xiao Bai recalled, "At that time, our strength had reached its limit in the Origin Realm. The rules of the Origin Realm forced us to leave. Coincidentally, our first stop after ascension was 'Zixiaotian' within the territory of the Immortal Dao Civilization."
To be honest, Xiaobai had a very good impression of the myriad worlds. The vast universe was full of cruelty and magnificence, and quite exciting.
"When we first arrived in the myriad realms, the five of us supported each other and ventured together in various places in the Purple Heaven..." "Until we encountered the 'Inquiry Conference' held by the Jade Emperor Palace."
Xiao Bai's tone became somewhat wistful: "That was a grand event where the Jade Emperor Palace recruited promising newcomers from across the entire Immortal Dao civilization. It was a massive event that brought together countless geniuses and prodigies from the lower realms and the native heavens. The five of us decided to go and try our luck."
"After all, if one cultivates alone all the time, one is likely to miss out on many opportunities."
"The competition in the Dao Asking Tournament is extremely fierce, with layers of selection and exceptionally dangerous conditions, but we have all made it through, and our rankings are all very high!"
Xiao Bai's voice was filled with pride, "We have all lived up to our master's expectations and are ranked in the top ten!"
"Really?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Bai spoke with great enthusiasm, but Gu Heng was somewhat confused. He knew about the Immortal Dao civilization; his fellow inmate Yue Ru came from there. But what was the "Jade Emperor Palace"?
However, since there was something he didn't understand, he turned to look at Gu Xitong.
With a system in place, why bother using your own brain?
"The Immortal Dao Civilization is divided into six major regions, namely the Six Outer Heavens. The Jade Emperor Palace is one of the major powers in the Purple Heaven, and it is quite powerful."
The system's answers are always simple and clear.
Now Gu Heng understood.
"Then, what about my apprentice?"
Gu Heng rubbed his hands together.
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "She swept through all her powerful opponents with an unparalleled attitude and finally won the championship of the Dao Inquiry Tournament!"
"Even the higher-ups of the Jade Emperor Palace were alarmed, and countless veteran powerhouses took notice!"
"Yi Yao got first place?"
Is this little girl really that amazing?!
Gu Heng was stunned, and then an indescribable sense of relief and pride welled up in his heart.
He could almost see Qin Yiyao standing on a high platform under the spotlight, holding a divine sword, looking heroic and dashing.
To be honest, this achievement has far exceeded his initial expectations.
When Gu Heng first found her, he never thought he could train her into a powerful figure. At that time, he himself was not even a cultivator, let alone a disciple.
However, fate played a trick on her later. Qin Yiyao definitely had a talent for cultivation, and a great one at that, which she discovered little by little!
Even now, he truly feels that things have changed.
"And then?"
Gu Heng pressed on, his tone filled with anticipation: "Since you're in first place, the reward must be pretty good, right?"
"Indeed, the Jade Emperor Palace directly took her under its wing, and she was personally taught by a very high-ranking head of the palace. She has lived up to expectations, showing remarkable talent and making rapid progress within the Jade Emperor Palace!"
"Now she is the 'Chief of the Purple Sun Division' appointed by the Jade Emperor Palace, holding a prestigious position and enjoying extremely high prestige!"
"Although she holds a high position, she has always had only one goal..."
Xiao Bai looked at Gu Heng with a complicated expression.
Qin Yiyao only cared about her master; nothing else could make her continue to care.
Xiao Bai saw all of this clearly. As an observer, he knew very well that Qin Yiyao's feelings for Gu Heng were far more than just a master-disciple relationship. It was something he could see at a glance.
"She's suffered so much."
Gu Heng sighed, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
I felt gratified, proud, and a touch of indescribable heartache.
He knew that Qin Yiyao had endured unimaginable hardships and pressure to get to where she was today, and that her relentless climb was driven by only one motivation.
Even if Xiaobai didn't say it outright, Gu Heng understood.
Gu Heng suppressed the turmoil in his heart. There was no point in being melancholy now. When he saw her, he would understand what he should and shouldn't say.
"What about the others?"
"After the Dao Asking Conference, the five of us parted ways due to our own opportunities and choices."
"Your cat went to the 'Demon Civilization'..."
"Or, it would be more accurate to say, the Demon Race Civilization Alliance."
