Chapter 787 - 248: I Just Enjoy the Company of Women; It’s Not a Must (10,000 Words, Please Subscribe)_5

She came to Anle Village by Wang Mu’s order.

「At the same time.」

Gu Yuqing floated by the creekside, her gaze complex as she looked at the figure ahead.

Piao Miaoxu truly understood Dongfang Mu, knowing he might appear here... After all, this was where he first lived... and also, where they first met.

"It’s been a long time..." Gu Yuqing murmured softly.

In fact, after leaving Piao Miaoxu, she had secretly returned to the Fengyue Sect, wanting to check on her Master’s situation.

As expected, she was intercepted by several Elders. The reason given was that her Master was at a critical point in her seclusion and might undergo Crossing Tribulation as soon as she emerged.

After learning this, Gu Yuqing didn’t hesitate and went directly to Anle Village to await Dongfang Mu’s appearance.

The Moon God was speechless.

How should I respond to this? she wondered. She felt conflicted. That scoundrel Wang Mu has entangled himself with so many women! Look at this one—eyes downcast, words caught in her throat, yet her breathing is clearly rapid. She looks for all the world like a woman he abandoned, now come to confront him.

[Wang Mu: Just smile and say, ’Brother Qin, long time no see.’]

Taken aback, the Moon God did as Wang Mu instructed.

"Brother Qin..." Gu Yuqing paused, her eyes welling with tears.

He never truly forgot me.

[Moon God: What next?]

[Wang Mu: Brother Qin, have you visited your Master recently? How has she been?]

The Moon God relayed the message.

Hearing this, Gu Yuqing nodded lightly and briefly recounted her experiences over the past few years.

"With no one to influence you, it seems your cultivation path has been quite smooth," Wang Mu said with emotion. "It was I who held you back initially."

"Not at all, not at all..." Gu Yuqing waved her hand. "If I hadn’t met Brother Wang, I might still be a Nascent Soul Cultivator facing a bottleneck..."

Observing Gu Yuqing’s submissive demeanor, the Moon God silently cursed, Wang Mu, that good-for-nothing!

"By the way, about that Dongfang Mu..." Wang Mu said softly. "He might be Piao Miaoxu in disguise. He hasn’t troubled you, has he?"

Why is this fellow making me say this? the Moon God wondered.

Gu Yuqing was taken aback for a moment. "No."

"Good that he hasn’t!" Wang Mu said. "I’ve always been worried that fellow might use my identity to lure you. I’m relieved you’re unharmed. Since that’s settled, why not travel with me? Your Master is currently in seclusion and can’t protect you. You know what Piao Miaoxu is like; he will surely target both you and your Master, perhaps even use you against her."

Gu Yuqing hesitated. Brother Wang, acting this way... he doesn’t seem to be connected to that middle-aged man, does he? I still don’t know... Could it be that my Cultivation Technique has nothing to do with Brother Wang?

"This Spirit beast by my side is an Ascension Realm Spirit beast," Wang Mu said. "It’s perfectly capable of protecting me. If you travel with me, even if Piao Miaoxu wants to target you, he’ll have to get through me first!"

A pang went through Gu Yuqing’s heart. No matter what, Brother Wang still cares for me. How could I become Piao Miaoxu’s spy? But his words now give me the perfect reason to travel with him...

Hearing this and seeing the subtle light in Gu Yuqing’s eyes, the Moon God finally understood. This fellow... he truly has a way with women.

The Moon God pursed her lips.

"Brother Wang, aren’t you afraid Piao Miaoxu has already controlled me? That she sent me to get close to you, to harm you?" Gu Yuqing suddenly asked.

The Moon God was taken aback.

Wang Mu, however, seemed to have anticipated this.

"I have wronged your Master, and I am indebted to you," Wang Mu said. "If you were truly to harm me, I would rather it be by your hand than Piao Miaoxu’s."

The Moon God was speechless again.

Gu Yuqing sighed softly. Brother Wang is still the same Brother Wang.

"Then, what are your plans next, Brother Wang?" Gu Yuqing asked.

"Isn’t your Master about to undergo her Tribulation Crossing?" Wang Mu said. "I sense she might be in some danger. I recently heard that the Qianzhou Heavenly Water Sect has a type of Immortal Spirit Fish that can help avert the disaster of a Heavenly Tribulation. I plan to go there and try my luck Fishing for it."

Gu Yuqing remained silent.

Even now, Brother Wang is still thinking of Master. No wonder Master has waited so devotedly for him for all these years.

"Then I will accompany you, Brother Wang," she said.

"Good."

Gu Yuqing thought, Fishing at the Heavenly Water Sect... The Heavenly Water Sect belongs to the Righteous path. That place shouldn’t pose any danger to Brother Wang. Even if I tell Piao Miaoxu, she wouldn’t dare act recklessly there.

Gu Yuqing continued to ponder. Piao Miaoxu said Brother Wang faced a great tribulation and that she wanted to save him. The first part might be true, but as for the second, not even a dog would believe it. I don’t believe Piao Miaoxu would want to save Brother Wang. It’s far more likely she’d use his great tribulation as an opportunity to ensure his death. So, when will this great tribulation occur?

「 」

"Gu Yuqing has secretly sent a message," Wang Mu (disguised) said. "It says, ’My great enemy might be heading to the Heavenly Water Sect for Fishing, claiming to be after some Immortal Spirit Fish...’"

Piao Miaoxu scoffed. "He really has no regard for me whatsoever, still preoccupied with those female confidantes, is he?"

"The Heavenly Water Sect?" Wang Mu (disguised) feigned ignorance. "Then I absolutely must go take a look myself. That Ascension Expert from Qianzhou might just be lurking nearby..."

"My status is too sensitive," Piao Miaoxu frowned. "If I go to the Heavenly Water Sect, that scoundrel will find out and won’t show up. I’ll send one of my trusted subordinates instead... This matter is quite dangerous."

"No!" Wang Mu (disguised) shook his head. "I must go personally. Your great enemy knows all your trusted people. Besides, most of your subordinates are famous throughout the Nine Provinces; their reputations are too great, making them too conspicuous. On the other hand, I’m just a Nameless Loose Cultivator. As long as Gu Yuqing doesn’t let anything slip, he wouldn’t recognize me even if I stood right in front of the real Wang Mu."

"That’s true," Piao Miaoxu said thoughtfully.

"If I discover that Ascension Expert..." Wang Mu (disguised) continued, "then, either by using Gu Yuqing or by waiting for the right time, they will inevitably come into conflict, leading to a major battle. We’ll each hold a Sound Transmission Talisman. I’ll send you updates, and you just need to wait for the opportune moment to make your move."
