Chapter 590: Your approval is enough
They entrusted Qin Yiyao to someone else for protection.
Such matters naturally require careful consideration; otherwise, if a wrong decision is made, leading to consequences he absolutely does not want to see, he will never be able to sleep well again.
Gu Heng pondered for a long time before asking, "How trustworthy do you think that woman named Yunshang is?"
Since it was the little girl who suggested it.
Let's see what she has to say first. If this was a completely spur-of-the-moment decision, and she didn't even think about it much...
"Now?"
"I find it completely unbelievable."
Qin Yiyao smiled. Apart from her good master, she had no one she could completely trust. Even with others who seemed close enough, Qin Yiyao would secretly keep a close eye on them.
After all, no one else could occupy such an important place in her heart as Gu Heng.
Qin Yiyao naturally didn't believe Yunshang.
But whether or not there is trust is actually completely unimportant.
Qin Yiyao knew that as long as Yunshang wasn't a fool, she wouldn't dare to play any tricks in front of her master.
The reason is simple: the stronger a cultivator is, the more they cherish the strength they have painstakingly cultivated, and the more they will want to climb higher. It is precisely this kind of strong person who, when facing a "mountain" that is much stronger than themselves, will behave more humbly and obediently than ordinary people.
For mortals, death is death; it's just a worthless life.
The lives of these powerful individuals shouldn't be worthless! Rather than being trampled to death like disobedient ants, why not obediently follow orders?
Qin Yiyao thought Yunshang was a shrewd woman. At least she could cultivate to the Immortal Venerable level, so she couldn't be a fool. If she had witnessed Gu Heng's strength, she would never have thought of fighting against him.
An ant with self-awareness will not choose to be an enemy of a mountain.
Clearly, Yunshang had already witnessed it.
"Unbelievable?" Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
"Anyway, I don't trust her, but she's not stupid. As long as she gets paid, she'll naturally work hard and won't have any ulterior motives."
Qin Yiyao looked at the sky outside.
"understood."
Gu Heng touched his chin.
It seems the little girl means that Yunshang is someone who will definitely do a good job once she takes the money, and who cares a lot about her "reputation"? That makes things easier.
Those who make a living by building their reputations shouldn't risk ruining their own livelihoods.
Gu Heng nodded slightly, his gaze softening. He reached out and ruffled Qin Yiyao's hair, his tone filled with affection, "Since you know what you're doing, then you can handle it. Do you need me to give you anything else?"
"Your approval is enough."
Qin Yiyao responded obediently.
All she needed was her master's statement and a little bit of substantial "deterrence." With these two powerful backings, wouldn't she be able to easily manipulate Yunshang?
There was absolutely no need for Gu Heng to show up in person.
Qin Yiyao felt that Yunshang was not qualified to meet her master directly.
The dishes on the table were completely devoured. After eating and drinking their fill, Qin Yiyao parted ways with Gu Heng and went straight to the Yin family, who had been targeted by the strange celestial phenomenon. In the Yin family's courtyard...
As expected, Qin Yiyao saw Yunshang.
The latter's power seemed to have increased significantly, but conversely, she was trying her best to contain it, as if afraid of attracting the attention of some being...
"Uh, what brings Miss Yi Yao here?"
Yin Rufeng had not expected that Qin Yiyao would come to visit him.
He hadn't met Qin Yiyao much, but this young lady was Gu Gongzi's only and most valued disciple. Therefore, in Yin Rufeng's eyes, Qin Yiyao's importance was second only to Gu Heng!
"There was quite a commotion here just now, let's come and take a look."
Qin Yiyao gave a casual reply, her gaze falling on Yunshang.
It was just a glance.
Yunshang then understood.
Qin Yiyao was completely unprepared for his arrival, or rather, she knew all along that he would be interested in her "backer" and choose to follow her!
Yunshang had considered this point.
But she didn't care at all.
After all, in Qin Yiyao's opinion, her backer was at most a Celestial Venerable, and the possibility of that was extremely slim and could be basically ignored.
But the reality is quite different.
Her guess was too conservative!
"Immortal Venerable Yunshang, this is Young Master Gu's only disciple."
Neither Yunshang nor Qin Yiyao were people Yin Rufeng dared to neglect. He assumed the two parties did not know each other, so he intended to introduce them.
But I didn't expect it.
Qin Yiyao said directly, "Immortal Venerable Yunshang, have you witnessed the power of my master?"
Yunshang's lips twitched, and her face stiffened.
"...The powerful backer behind you has truly broadened my horizons. It seems I was too confident and thought that the Xuan Tian Realm could no longer have such a person."
I have indeed witnessed it.
That's incredibly impressive!
It was just a painting, yet even a celestial being like her could only immerse herself in it for a dozen seconds before having to withdraw; any longer and she would have had to send it away.
But it was this fleeting glimpse that allowed him to break through from a half-step Immortal Venerable to a true Immortal Venerable!
just now.
She is the strongest in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm!
The gap between a half-step Immortal Venerable and a true first-level Immortal Venerable is not small. He could immediately return to the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm and drag out Gu Yun and all those inhuman half-step Immortal Venerables who followed him, and give them all a good beating!
Then one can rise up and call out, and how could anyone not follow?
The idea is beautiful.
Having experienced such a shocking event that overturned her common sense and experience, Yunshang quickly calmed down.
she knows.
It is true that I have broken through to the first level of Immortal Venerable.
Strictly speaking, she achieved enlightenment and breakthrough by relying on the profound truth of the Dao found in this painting!
That young master Gu possessed the ability to make a half-step immortal master easily break through to the immortal master realm, and this was nothing more than one of his paintings.
If he's serious...
How terrifying must it be? It wasn't difficult to understand this, so Yunshang didn't dare to make any more rash moves.
If the other party could enable her to break through to the Immortal Venerable realm with just a glance at a painting, then they could probably also kill her, an Immortal Venerable, on the spot with a flick of their finger!
"Immortal Venerable Yunshang, you have already witnessed how powerful my backer is."
"Now tell me, do I still need your protection?"
The smile on Qin Yiyao's face made Yunshang feel ashamed of herself.
Yes.
Her master could treat her like an ant and trample on her, so why should she be presumptuous?
"but……"
Qin Yiyao changed the subject.
“It’s not impossible for you to be my protector.”
