Chapter 333: Is the little girl being playful?
Feeling Jiang Lingyun's intense gaze, Gu Heng realized she was very serious, so he immediately pulled out ten jars of his homemade wine.
This number one swordsman in the world is actually a female drunkard.
However, she has a very good drinking manner, so you don't have to worry about her getting drunk and acting crazy when drinking with her. On the contrary, you feel that this Sect Leader Jiang is really generous and magnanimous when drinking.
"Young Master Gu, you're hiding a lot from me."
Jiang Lingyun smiled, reached out and took a jar of wine, and immediately opened it and started drinking.
At this moment, she regained some of her composure and rationality. After all, she was the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect here, and she had to be dignified and composed no matter what.
"Really? Actually, I know nothing about any of this," Gu Heng said with a smile.
He truly knew nothing.
There was nothing he could do; the system simply wouldn't tell him what was going on. Besides, ignorance is bliss, and Gu Heng didn't want to know too much.
Some secrets are actually death warrants.
In any case, Gu Heng intends to know as little as possible. As for Jiang Lingyun's "questioning" attitude, Gu Heng has already made up his mind to deny everything!
He genuinely didn't know, so how could he admit it?
Although he had known Bai Feier for some time, Gu Heng had only recently figured out the system's true nature by chance. Little did he know that this guy might have started some kind of "plan" against him a long time ago.
"Heh, you have quite a few secrets..."
After taking a couple of sips, Jiang Lingyun started chatting with Gu Heng.
“Yesterday, when I asked you if you knew about the Seven Destiny Stars, you obviously knew something, right?”
Gu Heng didn't answer, but slowly took the wine glass and gave a knowing smile.
He decided to let Sect Leader Jiang guess on her own. Since she was determined to know something, no matter how she guessed, she would definitely be going in the wrong direction.
Because Gu Heng really didn't know any of this.
Seeing that he did not answer, Jiang Lingyun seemed to have accepted her own guess.
"Ha, maybe God really does have his own plans."
She tilted her head back and started chugging the wine.
Gu Heng also drank with her.
Jiang Lingyun seemed to be in a state of confusion, whether depressed or happy, drinking more and more enthusiastically, muttering vague words about the "golden age of the primordial world" and "hope for immortality," all of which Gu Heng couldn't understand. After some time, around midnight, Jiang Lingyun leaned back in her recliner, muttering fragmented words, and then drifted off to sleep.
Gu Heng then took out the Primordial Soul Lamp and asked Jian Xuan to accompany her.
He then returned to his room.
His room wasn't far from Qin Yiyao's, and Gu Heng even went there on purpose, only to find that the little girl had changed into her nightgown and was lying there reading a play script.
Seeing Gu Heng enter, Qin Yiyao hurriedly put away her script and scratched her head, saying, "Master, what brings you here?"
"Ah, I just wanted to come and see you."
Gu Heng sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Qin Yiyao in front of him.
At this moment, her face was flushed, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look like a delicate and beautiful flower bud.
"If we don't have anything else to do tomorrow, how about we go back to Yunling City?"
He gently touched Qin Yiyao's head.
Qin Yiyao raised her eyes, her gaze sparkling, but hesitated before saying, "Alright..."
She didn't seem to be in a bad mood, but when the topic of returning to Yunling City came up, she visibly became a little unhappy.
Gu Heng could understand.
This capital city of Sunfire is truly a bustling and prosperous place.
Yunling City, that poor and remote place, is really not as good as here. Gu Heng had briefly considered reopening his clinic here. The place is bustling, and the little girl would have more places to go, wouldn't she?
However, bustling and prosperous places are crowded, and with crowds come trouble. It's inevitable that you'll run into all sorts of weirdos and monsters. Gu Heng prefers a peaceful life and doesn't want to cause himself too much trouble.
Therefore, he still wanted to return to Yunling City.
"What, do you want to stay outside a little longer?" Gu Heng noticed Qin Yiyao's dissatisfaction, so he asked on her behalf to prevent her from being too embarrassed to say what she wanted to say.
He didn't think it was a big deal; the girl was just being playful!
"You can see it."
Suddenly, Qin Yiyao spoke softly, her head lowered, not daring to look at Gu Heng's face.
"Little girl, your thoughts are written all over your face. I'm not that stupid."
Gu Heng gently pinched Qin Yiyao's earlobe and then said.
Qin Yiyao certainly didn't want to go back so soon.
Back in Yunling City, she could certainly continue her cultivation at the clinic. Her current progress in cultivation was not just rapid, but incredibly fast!
In fact, her cultivation level improves by one or two levels every day. This is not because Qin Yiyao cultivates quickly, but because she is naturally capable of such powerful cultivation.
After being poisoned by the Immortal-Slaying Poison, Qin Yiyao had to let the poison kill her once in order to survive, and then be reborn.
After being resurrected, one's cultivation level will naturally return to its peak over time.
If Qin Yiyao doesn't cultivate at all, it will probably take her six or seven thousand years to return to her peak.
If she cultivates diligently and is blessed with various top-tier spiritual treasures, then sixty or seventy years should be enough.
Of course, Qin Yiyao herself also needs to work harder in this process, but without a doubt, she has already reached the ninth level of the Supreme Saint realm, so this cultivation process is basically not difficult.
It just takes time.
But now, Qin Yiyao felt that her cultivation was growing faster than she had imagined! She had the Body Refinement Book to temper her physical body, and the medicinal baths she took were made with top-grade medicinal mud personally prepared by her master. She could also occasionally eat some "sugar pills" to accelerate the digestion of a large amount of medicinal power. Not to mention that there was actually an extremely powerful "original aura" around Gu Heng that nourished her every day!
The "original aura" is different from the common "spiritual energy of heaven and earth".
That was a core force from the Xuan Tian Realm, and a key to breaking through to the Saintly Stage.
There was a very strong and powerful aura of origin around Gu Heng.
If he stays in one place for forty or fifty years without moving, the area within a hundred paces of him will become a rare spiritual land due to the long-term blessing of the "original aura".
Those who follow him will naturally benefit greatly.
It wasn't just Qin Yiyao and Su Jinxi; she had actually observed the neighbors and residents around Gu's Medical Clinic as well.
Those three or four ordinary people who originally had no cultivation or Dao roots had a lot of contact with Gu Heng.
For example, the butcher who Gu Heng frequented, and the owner of the tailor shop where Gu Heng often bought clothes...
They still cannot cultivate, but their physical bodies are already much stronger than before.
But those mortals themselves were unaware of it.
This is normal, after all, the south of Yunling City is a very quiet place where almost nothing happens.
They probably will never notice this "abnormality" in their entire lives.
