I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 817: A World for Two

Chapter 817: A World for Two

Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong was not attracted by Qin Yiyao's stunning beauty. After all, no matter how beautiful one's appearance is, it is never as important as strength.

But her strength is the most important thing.

It's actually at the Immortal Emperor level!

Mr. Gu's disciple, the Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong, could see through it all.

Even without the strength of an Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor's vision remained. He could tell at a glance that the woman exuded the aura of an Immortal King!

Moreover, she is very young.

Even among mortals, her physical body was visibly "youthful." Unlike those old people who had cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years and incidentally acquired the art of preserving their youth, there was a fundamental difference between them.

This difference can only be discerned by the more advanced and older ones.

As for Mr. Gu...

That would be on a completely different level.

Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong couldn't tell whether he was truly young or an old man older than himself, so he could only guess based on experience and intuition. After all, no matter how much he tried to appear young, it was hard to hide his sense of vicissitude.

However, Mr. Gu did not appear weathered, and indeed seemed to have little life experience.

That's quite strange.

"I do not care."

"That's exactly how it should be."

"It's been so long since I've seen you, and now you're actually considering other people's opinions. Master, you've been gone for so long, have you gone somewhere and picked up a few pretty women again?"

Qin Yiyao squirmed in his arms for a long time, her voice as light as a feather, carrying a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction. No matter what Gu Heng said, she just wouldn't get down, and she buried her head deeply, refusing to show even a little bit of it.

"Girl, the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm always looking for girls. Am I that kind of person?"

Gu Heng rolled his eyes.

"you are not?"

Qin Yiyao reluctantly raised her head, squinting her eyes.

"I really am not..."

Gu Heng tried his best to make his voice sound genuine and not questionable, although he hesitated a little when he thought of Hua Yeli and Ning Hanyan.

But it's only a little bit. Regardless of what they do, Qin Yiyao currently occupies the best position in his eyes, without a doubt!

Gu Heng can still guarantee that.

"Here, these are the things I brought for you."

Gu Heng handed the things he had prepared to Qin Yiyao. Although it was just a small cloth bag, and there was a strange, faint fishy smell inside, making her feel like it contained some kind of body parts, Qin Yiyao immediately smiled and raised the corners of her lips when she saw that he had brought her something.

"Hmph, at least I didn't have to wait in vain for my master to return."

Like a lazy and obedient kitten, she pulled Gu Heng's arm over and rested it on her face.

Gu Heng carefully observed Qin Yiyao's body curves and found that the little girl seemed to have gained weight recently, her hair was also longer than before, and the dress embroidered with gold and silver flowers was particularly exquisite and beautiful.

Especially that black and gold corset, which perfectly accentuated her figure. This little girl knows how to dress herself!

And she was dressed quite elegantly!

"...I'd better find a place to close my eyes and rest first."

Watching the two of them being so intimate, Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong couldn't bear it any longer. The two of them were too cloying, and this lonely old man like him decided not to get involved.

With that, he got up and slowly strolled away.

Although Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong hadn't decided where to go, even though he had made an appointment with Mr. Gu and planned to follow him, his disciple showed considerable resistance to him as soon as he appeared.

Forget it, let's avoid it for now.

He's a shrewd and experienced person; there are some things it's best not to know too much about.

"Hmph, at least you have some sense."

Qin Yiyao glanced at Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong and snorted coldly. This old man of unknown origin, she had made it clear that she didn't want anyone to disturb her time with her master, and she was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he had been sitting here for a long time without moving.

Fortunately, he wisely left before he could speak.

It's one thing for someone to be squatting in her capital; she can ignore it. But if it involves her master, she'll be like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, baring her teeth in disgust.

"Yi Yao, you'd better say less. He used to be a strong person. Even though he's fallen on hard times now, you should still show him the respect he deserves."

Gu Heng was somewhat dissatisfied.

Why does this little girl speak so harshly?

It seems like my temper has been spoiled.

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to be so rude in front of him, otherwise her little bottom would have suffered.

Sure enough, once these fledglings are released, they'll be free to fly as high as the sky, and their wings will grow strong in no time, making them quite independent.

"What kind of strongman? I can surpass him in no time. Master, stop siding with outsiders."

Qin Yiyao poked Gu Heng's cheek, as if reminding him who was the most important person to him.

"Okay, okay, I know you missed me."

Gu Heng said helplessly.

"how have you been?"

Gu Heng touched the bun that Qin Yiyao had tied up on her head.

It's fun.

"Great, apart from not being able to see the people I want to see, I basically have no regrets."

Qin Yiyao pouted.

These words made Gu Heng so embarrassed that he scratched his toes.

He's not stupid; how could he not know that every word the little girl said was subtly directed at him?

There's no way around it; I can't just lock her up by my side and not let her go anywhere, can I?

Gu Heng politely declined that kind of game.

"Master, you're not angry, are you?"

"Ok?"

"It's about... that Lu Li and Mo Qian, who attacked you without even asking what happened and threw you into the dungeon."

Qin Yiyao said with some concern.

When she learned that her master had come to find her, but instead she was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison as a spy, she almost fainted on the spot!

What are they doing?

His most trusted minister turned out to be one of the "culprits"!

Although Mo Qian still released his good master, Qin Yiyao has not yet decided whether to let him go. Even though Mo Qian has made great contributions, when it comes to Gu Heng, no amount of contributions matters.

As for Lu Li, Qin Yiyao didn't plan to pay him any attention. Anyway, Mo Qian had almost beaten him to death, so let it go.

Qin Yiyao wanted to know what her master thought.

"Oh, I'm not angry. Although it's unpleasant to be arrested and questioned for no reason, it's their job after all. Besides, I did see you, didn't I? It wasn't all smooth sailing, but the result was good."

Gu Heng shrugged.

Speaking of which, the fact that the little girl came to find him so quickly suggests that the Imperial Guard Commander did indeed deliver a message to her.

That was handled very efficiently!

"It's good that Master isn't angry."

Qin Yiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "As for those two blind fools, what does Master plan to do with them?" "You mean the Imperial Guard's clerk and the Imperial Guard Commander?"

Gu Heng was puzzled. He wasn't a member of the Central Plains Dynasty, he had no power or influence, and his words carried little weight. Why was he being asked how to handle this?

"Yes, their cultivation has been sealed, and they've been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, left to their fate."

"Master, tell me, how do you intend to punish them?"
