Chapter 189 The Junior Lin Daiyu
Chapter 189 The Junior Lin Daiyu
As soon as Gu Yan, Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mu Lan stepped out of the palace, they felt a terrifying pressure, the pressure of a Celestial King. The expressions of the group immediately changed.
Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mulan's hearts pounded wildly. Their master had arrived, and so quickly.
What should we do? We haven't let Young Master Gu leave yet.
Auspicious clouds shrouded the sky, radiant with divine light. Pink petals drifted down from the sky, their rich fragrance intensifying the atmosphere. Then, several beams of light shot from afar, arriving in an instant and transforming into dozens of fairies.
Standing at the forefront among these fairies was a female fairy king with long purple hair. She wore a colorful palace dress and a white shawl. Her hair was cloud-like and her face was beautiful. She had fair skin and was charming and graceful. She also had an amazing aura of majesty that made her unforgettable.
This female immortal king is none other than Lu Huanong, the master of the Palace of Heartless Love.
Upon seeing their master arrive in person, Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mulan were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Master!"
Lu Huanong's gaze didn't linger on them. Not only her, but none of the Jueqing Palace disciples who had come with her had their eyes on Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mulan. Their eyes were all on Gu Yan, on this stunningly beautiful girl in white who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. My god, she's so beautiful!
There is such a stunning beauty in all the heavens and myriad realms. Such a face is beyond the imagination of all living beings. It is hard to believe that this is real and not a beautiful dream.
Lu Huanong stared blankly at Gu Yan. She had lived for billions of years and had seen countless beauties. Her Heartless Palace also had many beautiful female disciples, but none of them could compare to the white-clad girl in front of her.
She's perfect, she's just too perfect.
Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes like rippling waves, her skin as clear as washed snow, and her beauty as radiant as the sunset. This white dress made her look like a plum blossom in the snow, pure and aloof, inspiring endless tenderness.
Many women blushed and their hearts pounded as they watched.
"You...you are..." Lu Huanong stared blankly at Gu Yan, certain that the girl before her was not a disciple of her Heartless Palace. If her Heartless Palace had such a person, how could she not know?
Gu Yan thought to herself, how should I answer this?
Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then cupped her hands and replied, "Junior Lin Daiyu greets Senior."
"Daiyu? What a lovely name. Does she have a courtesy name?" Lu Huanong asked with a smile.
Gu Yan: "..."
Why does this conversation sound familiar?
Gu Yan said, "I don't have a courtesy name."
Lu Huanong looked at Gu Yan and chuckled. She said, "Young friend Daiyu, you are not a disciple of my Heartless Palace, are you?"
Lu Huanong rarely smiled; she was always cold and aloof. Ever since her heartbreak, she harbored a deep hatred for all men, and not only for men, but also for her disciples, becoming increasingly harsh and prone to punishment. The female disciples of the Heartless Palace were terrified of her.
Just as Gu Yan was about to answer, Zhou Ting hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, please forgive me. I brought this fellow Daoist back without permission. She was seriously injured and unconscious at the time. I couldn't bear to see her perish, so I took it upon myself to bring her back to the Palace of Heartless Love."
"This disciple also lied about being injured and used many sacred medicines from Jade Forest Peak without authorization. Please punish me, Master!!"
After Zhou Ting finished speaking, her face turned deathly pale, and she was trembling with fear.
Xie Wan'er and Mulan, who were standing nearby, were both surprised and nervous to see her take all the blame.
"Master, please forgive me. It was I who begged Senior Sister to save Fellow Daoist Lin. It was not Senior Sister's fault. Master, please punish me," Xie Wan'er said, kowtowing.
"No, Master, it was my idea. Please punish me instead," Mulan kowtowed.
Lu Huanong chuckled: "Why are you all so nervous? It's as if I, your master, usually treat you badly. Get up, lest you make a fool of yourself in front of Daiyu."
Lu Huanong's voice was so gentle that Zhou Ting and the others could hardly believe it. So gentle, is this really their master?
Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mulan rose hesitantly. Lu Huanong walked towards Gu Yan, meeting her gaze. She was a tall, beautiful woman, almost the same height as Gu Yan. Gazing at Gu Yan's exquisite face, she found it breathtakingly beautiful, and couldn't resist reaching out to touch its flawless surface.
"Daiyu..."
Her warm, delicate skin was being gently stroked by Lu Huanong. Gu Yan felt taken advantage of but dared not move.
"Beautiful, so beautiful..."
"It's absolutely perfect..."
Revlon stroked Gu Yan's face while sighing.
Gu Yan tensed up all her muscles. "Hey, hey, hey, have you touched enough?"
Lu Huanong said no, after touching his face, she touched his hand. She held Gu Yan's fair and slender hand, stroking it as she sighed:
"You are truly beautiful. In all my years, I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you. If men saw you, they would go mad. A beauty as lovely as you must have countless filthy men coveting you. Why don't you stay in the Palace of Heartless Love? I will take you as my personal disciple. What do you say?"
Gu Yan couldn't help but pull his hand back. He took a step back and said calmly and confidently:
"Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master, but I already have a master."
"Oh? Then who is your teacher?" Lu Huanong asked.
"My master is eccentric and forbids Daiyu from mentioning his name casually. I'm sorry, Daiyu, I cannot tell him," Gu Yan lied without changing her expression.
Lu Huanong leaned closer, also annoyed, and asked with a smile, "I am a Celestial King. Is your master more powerful than me? Wouldn't it be better to find a more powerful master?"
"If you're willing to become my disciple, you'll become the young master of the Heartless Palace. What do you say?"
Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and the others stared at Lu Huanong in shock.
Their master has many disciples, both nominal and direct disciples. Because there are so many disciples, who will inherit the Heartless Palace in the future depends on the master's will. Of course, generally speaking, it will be the one with the highest cultivation level. Currently, the disciples with the highest cultivation levels are Senior Sister Xue Lan and Senior Sister Ji Ying, both of whom have reached the Great Luo True Immortal realm.
But now Master actually wants to bypass the two of them and make Young Master Gu the young master of the Heartless Palace? Senior Sister Xue Lan and Senior Sister Ji Ying, aren't they going to explode?
If Master discovers that Young Master Gu is not a woman...
Just thinking about it sent a chill down Zhou Ting's spine. Xie Wan'er and Mulan shuddered.
I can't imagine that scene; it's terrifying.
"Thank you for your high regard, Palace Master, but the kindness of my teacher is as vast as the sea and I will never forget it. Apart from my master, Daiyu will never take anyone else as her teacher in this life," Gu Yan said resolutely.
He only has one master in his heart, the one who raised and educated him in his previous life. Apart from him, Gu Yan will not have any other master in his heart, nor does he want to take anyone else as his master.
