Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 381 I Don’t Believe That You’re Up to No Good

After the two sides parted ways, Gu Qingtang came to Tiannan Marquis's residence and found that Song Yunmo was as weak as an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.

So he spent some time refining a few life-extending pills, but he couldn't take them immediately. He had to wait until the fifteen-day period of weakness had passed before he could take them.

Zhong Siyao and the others leaned over the door frame and poked their heads out to gossip about the situation in the inner room, but accidentally Zhong Siyao lost her balance and stumbled in.

"Master, Senior Sister, why are you taking the longevity pill?"

She smiled sheepishly and touched her head, her eyes still dodging. The pill that melted in her mouth instantly gave her a faint green breath of life.

But Gu Qingtang just glanced at her without blaming her or replying. Instead, he sat beside her with his chin supported by one hand, thinking blankly.

"Senior sister, if there is any problem that you can't solve, why don't you tell us and we can help you, no, I can give you some advice?"

Zhong Siyao sat beside her with a smile on her face, looking at her with her hands on her cheeks. Gu Qingtang took out the dragon core he had just obtained and placed it on the table, examining it carefully.

"This dragon core has fire attributes. It should be able to be used as a fire attribute beast core to help him repair his damaged fire spirit root."

"But the energy of this dragon core is too overbearing and will damage his meridians. But what if... two people absorb it?"

As she muttered, she looked at Zhong Siyao who was smiling beside her. Noticing the strange gaze, Zhong Siyao felt something was wrong.

As if sitting on pins and needles, he immediately stood up and prepared to flee: "Senior sister, I, I remember there is a technique that needs to be further refined. I'm leaving first."

She had just taken a few steps when she found herself frozen and unable to move. Cold sweat immediately broke out on her back. She looked helplessly at Song Shixin and others who had taken the opportunity to flee outside the door frame.

Mu Huayan brought Zhong Siyao to the huge backyard. Soon Su Wangyou came out from the inner room and took a look at the immobilized Zhong Siyao. He also had the urge to escape.

He bowed and saluted, his eyes dodging from time to time, feeling a little uneasy, "Senior Sister, Wangyou is here."

"Don't be so serious or scared. I'm calling you here for good reasons."

Zhong Siyao now had all kinds of expressions on her face, and she wanted to cry but had no tears. She cried out that he had good things coming to him, but I guess I'm going to suffer.

In her heart, she complained that her senior sister was too partial. She had entered the sect before Su Wangyou, so why did she get all the benefits for him?

Gu Qingtang untied the spiritual power restraints on her body with a single finger. He wanted to escape, but was pulled back by her spiritual power.

"I can't find a beast core, so I can only get a dragon core. I'll just have to use it."

She pointed to a fiery red dragon core floating in the air. Su Wangyou was a little afraid to touch it. He always felt that what his senior sister said was a little unreliable.

Because no one in the world has ever used a dragon core to repair a damaged fire spirit root, and she is the one who set the precedent, and she is so brave that if something goes wrong along the way...

He lowered his head slightly and swallowed lightly, not wanting to do it. Mu Huayan returned to her original appearance and sat against a tree, seeing his worry, she said slowly, "Don't be afraid. Believe me, I'll be fine."

"So what am I doing here, Senior Sister?"

Zhong Siyao asked her fearfully, and Mu Huayan took a few bites of the fairy fruit before answering her: "Of course I absorbed it together with him, after all..."

"After all, good things need to be shared."

Zhong Siyao secretly shuddered and cried secretly, "I don't believe that you are definitely up to no good." But she could only sit cross-legged with him and start to refine the dragon core.

However, the huge aura of the dragon core made Zhong Siyao feel exhausted, and the dragon soul's unwilling curses could be heard from the dragon core from time to time.

"If you dare to refine me, I will definitely torture you..."

Su Wangyou and the other person ignored its words and continued to close their eyes and release their spiritual power to refine it;

Soon, the two absorbed the energy in the dragon core into their bodies, and the damaged fire spirit root in Su Wangyou's body was indeed completely healed.

The golden light around him became more and more dazzling, and he had entered the breakthrough period. "Thank you, Senior Sister. Wangyou will practice diligently and break through the peak ancestor realm as soon as possible to help you share your worries."

Song Yunmo, who was sitting in the hall, was surrounded by Bai Yu and others, looking at him. There was a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.

At this moment, the hall was so quiet that only the chirping of birds could be heard outside the hall. Song Yunmo was generous and did not blame them, but sipped tea leisurely.

No matter how they looked at him, he never got angry. Finally, when Mu Huayan came, Bai Yu and the others moved away from him one after another, pretending to be fine and suspicious.

But how could she not see through their thoughts? Song Yunmo was too weak now, and it would be dangerous to return to the palace rashly.

But it is not possible to not let him go back. After all, a country cannot be without a ruler. If it is a little serious, it will arouse suspicion from the people in the court.

It was almost time for the court session and Mu Jing had already sent a message to urge them. He had to show up today no matter what.

Although he was in a weak state and could not use his spiritual power, he could spend the next fifteen days safely if he was not discovered by others or put in danger.

Bai Yu and the others looked at Song Yunmo, who was being examined as a criminal, and felt a little sympathetic towards him, but also looked like they were looking forward to a good show.

Unexpectedly, Song Yunmo actually smiled and said to her in front of them, "You will have to work hard for the next fifteen days, my princess."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yu and the others were furious, and they clenched their fists as if they were going to beat him up.

Mu Huayan sensed the abnormal heat around her but did not say anything to stop it. Instead, she transformed into Gu Qingtang and planned to return to the palace with him.

"Senior sister, you have to be careful."

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Gu Qingtang stretched out her hand to Song Yunmo, asking him to hold her hand. He originally wanted to hug Gu Qingtang and go back in front of them, but it became an illusion.

He placed his big palm on the fair jade hand like a well-behaved child. Bai Yu and the others almost stepped forward to pull Song Yunmo away and beat him up.

"It's just a show. Senior sister is so powerful and smart that she won't suffer any loss."

Fortunately, Zhong Siyao and others arrived and held back the angry Bai Yu and his companions.

"I'm telling you, you don't stand a chance. In my heart..."

Fang Hanyu dragged Tang Xuanze away from the palace. Gu Qingtang took him back to the palace and briefly told Mu Jingyan what happened.

The ministers of the imperial court were already waiting for him to come to the court to discuss matters. The news in the imperial palace was not tense and many people were talking. It didn't take long for the news to spread that he and the imperial concubine had returned from their outing.

Chu Mengyan must have known that he would come back to attend court, so she waited outside the Tingzhu Palace early because the eldest princess felt that he was too doting and partial to Gu Qingtang.

The ministers in the court were all discussing how Chu Mengyan was being ignored. After all, the princess of the enemy country coming to marry was a matter of great importance, but he ignored her as if she were invisible.

Such behavior might cause dissatisfaction among the princess and indirectly lead to war between the two countries, and in the end only ordinary people would be hurt.

But the fact that she was not favored and was considered invisible was not spread by her, but by the palace maids around her for the purpose of spreading it...

Seeing him coming, Chu Mengyan went up to him and explained to him, but he looked expressionless and didn't care at all. He just held Gu Qingtang's hand tightly.

Rumors in the palace began to spread again, but what was there to fear? Thinking of Chu Mingchuan's ugly face that day, he felt even more disgusted with the woman in front of him.

He gave her a little face and agreed with her, then he picked up Gu Qingtang and explained to Mu Jing beside him.

His tone was full of dominance and impatience. "My imperial concubine is too tired and needs to rest and calm her mind. The affairs of the court will be handled by the regent."
