Chapter 276: Never heard of it
When Gu Heng found Bai Feier and arranged a place for him and Qin Yiyao to stay, he returned to the teahouse next to Yunxiang Tower.
Jian Xuan and Jiang Lingyun have finished discussing everything they needed to discuss.
He walked in and sensed that the atmosphere in the teahouse was quite suitable; it seemed that the two old lovers had actually made their relationship clear.
"How about it?"
he asked.
Jiang Lingyun nodded, indicating that everything was going smoothly.
"Congratulations, Sect Leader Jiang! Your long wait has finally paid off and the clouds have parted to reveal the moon."
Gu Heng joked. Although he himself had only transmigrated to this world and lived for twenty years, his experience was truly no match for these two.
Moreover, Gu Heng himself doesn't even have a girlfriend.
But he was still happy that Jian Xuan and Jiang Lingyun's reunion was getting warmer.
Humans do have the capacity for empathy.
Jian Xuan snorted lightly: "Of course, I, Jian Xuan, am a righteous gentleman, when have I ever let anyone down?"
"she."
Gu Heng pointed indifferently at Jiang Lingyun.
You owe them over two thousand years of love and affection.
Jiang Lingyun nodded happily: "Young Master Gu is absolutely right."
Jian Xuan could only cough awkwardly.
“Young Master Gu, my senior brother still intends to stay with you. I would be grateful if you would agree to that,” Jiang Lingyun said.
This surprised Gu Heng: "You actually wanted him to stay with me first?"
strangeness.
It's not that Gu Heng didn't want Jian Xuan to stay, but he had no idea why Jian Xuan would stay. He was a cultivator, and since he still had a soul, he wasn't completely dead. Jiang Lingyun would definitely have a way to make him a human again.
Can it stay by my side?
Gu Heng couldn't figure out what benefits he, a mere mortal, could bring to Jian Xuan.
To be honest, it was Jian Xuan who brought him benefits.
After all, this is the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect!
By cultivating good relationships with such individuals, once Gu Heng completes the system's tricky and bizarre tasks and unlocks "cultivation" for him, he will truly be considered a person who has entered the world of cultivation! Connections are indispensable even for mortals, and even more so for cultivators.
Having already become acquainted with the sect leader and the grand elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, Gu Heng could even imagine that even if he were a novice in the future, he could easily bring up these important figures to create momentum for him.
However, Gu Heng also understood.
The reason why Jiang Lingyun and Jian Xuan respected him so much was probably because they both considered themselves cultivators, and even Saint-level cultivators at that.
Indeed, once Gu Heng uses the experience voucher, he will gain the power of a cultivator.
But they didn't know that this power was only "temporary" and could only be possessed for a quarter of an hour.
Only Gu Heng himself knew that these coupons could not be used recklessly. Before he could truly cultivate, he had to live the same way he had before. Since he could not truly cultivate, he should just be an ordinary mortal!
Moreover, Gu Heng felt that Jiang Lingyun would never let Jian Xuan stay. These two old lovers hadn't seen each other for over two thousand years, so they should go back together and spend a few hundred years together to satisfy their cravings.
But now, Jiang Lingyun is entrusting Jian Xuan to him...
Ignoring Gu Heng's astonished gaze, Jiang Lingyun smiled and winked at Jian Xuan.
Jian Xuan glanced at her, then nodded.
He turned to Gu Heng, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Gu. Please feel free to ask me for anything in the future, and I will do my best to help!"
This was the first time he had said such a thing so solemnly.
His expression was especially sincere.
"This...sigh, I'm just living a mortal life, with countless trivial matters."
"You, a dignified elder, following me, I can't offer you any benefits." Gu Heng didn't presume, honestly admitting that he was just a mortal, far inferior to these cultivators, and couldn't be of any help. Following him, he would definitely go hungry nine times out of three days.
"I only ask for peace and quiet, and I don't need any benefits. Young Master Gu, please rest assured."
Jian Xuan said earnestly, without the slightest reluctance.
Jiang Lingyun smiled but didn't say a word.
They both knew that Gu Heng simply didn't want to get involved in too many matters between cultivators; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to live in seclusion in such a remote place.
Why not just grant his wish?
Jiang Lingyun would definitely not expose Gu Heng's whereabouts, and Jian Xuan only wanted to use the power of the Primordial Soul Lamp to nourish his soul.
Bringing those meddlesome people to Young Master Gu's place is really not beneficial.
"Since you've said that..." Gu Heng touched the tip of his nose, unable to discern what the couple was plotting.
However, since Jiang Lingyun didn't refute it, he was too lazy to say anything more.
As long as this relationship doesn't cause any problems in the future, and doesn't end up getting him into trouble, that's fine.
"Then come in."
Gu Heng took out the Primordial Soul Lamp, and Jian Xuan didn't hesitate either, transforming into a ball of light and flying inside.
After putting away the lamp, Jiang Lingyun also put the wine he had given her into her spatial ring.
"Sect Leader Jiang is planning to leave?"
He asked with a smile.
"Not so fast, I still have some things to do..."
Jiang Lingyun smiled but didn't say much. However, before she left, she stopped and looked at Gu Heng. "Young Master Gu, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."
"But it doesn't matter."
Have you ever heard of the saying that there are 'Seven Destiny Stars' in the world?
"A destiny star... I've never heard of it."
Gu Heng shook his head.
"Oh." A smile seemed to appear on Jiang Lingyun's face for a moment. "If you don't know, that's fine. Don't worry about it, Young Master Gu."
After saying that, she turned and walked outside.
"Sect Leader Jiang, please take care."
Gu Heng stood up and bowed to see him off.
After she left, a slightly unnatural, stiff smile appeared on Gu Heng's face.
Destiny Star?
Of course he hadn't heard of it. Can something seen through the system be called "hearsay"?
