Chapter 375: The Cycle Dao Emperor's Book
Upon hearing Jiang Qiong's words, Gu An frowned and sighed, "How can I persuade her? Su Han was indeed forced to her death by Peony Ghost Mother."
In the past, Su Han was being hunted down and had no choice but to follow Peony Ghost Mother. She taught Su Han the Reversal Divine Skill, and before her death, he passed on his cultivation to Zhen Qin, helping her transform and break free from her old self. Over the years, Zhen Qin had always held onto her grudge.
Gu An had already severed his master-disciple relationship with Su Han and had even saved him before, so he didn't owe him anything. Therefore, he didn't plan to seek revenge for Su Han.
Moreover, Peony Ghost Mother had already pledged her allegiance to him. If not for his arrangement, how could Peony Ghost Mother have helped Jiang Qiong establish the Flower Gathering Sect?
Gu An wouldn't help Zhen Qin kill Peony Ghost Mother, but he would ensure she stayed alive.
Perhaps it was unfair to Peony Ghost Mother, but he had no choice. In Gu An's heart, Zhen Qin was undoubtedly more important than Peony Ghost Mother.
Among his first batch of disciples from the Medicine Valley, only Zhen Qin remained alive, and she was also very filial towards him. How could he not favor her?
Jiang Qiong furrowed her brows and said, "Peony Ghost Mother is now the Vice Sect Master of the Flower Gathering Sect. I can't possibly go against her."
"There's no need. Everyone has their own grudges. The fact that you can protect Zhen Qin's life is enough. Thank you."
Gu An spoke sincerely and raised his hand to salute Jiang Qiong.
Jiang Qiong humphed, "No need for thanks. Your matters are my matters. I quite like that girl Zhen Qin. When I become strong enough, I'll help her take care of Peony Ghost Mother."
Gu An was taken aback and asked, "Do you have a grudge against her?"
"No grudge, but if I had to choose between you and her, I would definitely choose you. But all this is for later. I'll talk about it when I have the ability to do so." Jiang Qiong shook her head.
After that, she began chatting about the insights she gained from her trip to the Nine Abysses World.
Ever since her journey to the Nine Abysses World, she had gained numerous insights during her cultivation, particularly in the area of deduction.
She could now perceive the cause and effect of mortals and thus calculate their fates.
She was curious if Gu An had gained any insights as well.
Gu An replied that he had, but they were not as profound as her own, leaving her slightly disappointed.
As night fell, Jiang Qiong pulled Gu An towards the Eight Scenic Immortal World.
"Why must we go to the Eight Scenic Immortal World? Why not stay at my Third Medicine Valley? You're now a leader of the righteous path and have established an alliance with the Taixuan Sect. They won't stop you from entering." Gu An couldn't help but ask as they walked through the forest.
Jiang Qiong held his right wrist and replied without turning back, "The Eight Scenic Immortal World is our home."
"What home? Do you want to live in a coffin?"
Hearing Gu An's words, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but turn and glare at him.
In the end, Gu An couldn't refuse Jiang Qiong and was pulled into the Eight Scenic Immortal World.
It wasn't until the next day at noon that Gu An finally returned to the Third Medicine Valley.
As soon as he arrived at the bottom of his own tower, Ji Xiaoyu stepped out of her room.
Forty years ago, Ji Xiaoyu had returned, and her understanding of the Path of Cause and Effect far surpassed An Xin, Lo Qing, Ye Lan, and others. Gu An could sense the growing power of cause and effect within her.
"Who were you messing around with last night?" Ji Xiaoyu stared at Gu An and asked coldly.
Gu An looked at her and replied, "An old acquaintance. I knew her before you were even born. If not for her guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today."
He wasn't joking; Jiang Qiong had taught him too much.
Among them, the Demon Shadow Skill was the most important. With Gu An's improvement, this skill could now isolate cause and effect deductions.
Upon reaching the Immortal Dao Realm, one would inevitably begin to delve into the art of deduction, and upon reaching the Freedom Yuan Immortal Realm, one would start to initially research the Path of Cause and Effect. Without Jiang Qiong's Demon Shadow Skill, Gu An might have been discovered long ago.
Hearing his words, Ji Xiaoyu's expression softened, but just as she was about to continue, he interrupted her.
"Focus on your cultivation and don't meddle in the affairs of mortals."
With that, Gu An quickly headed upstairs.
Ji Xiaoyu watched him go upstairs, her eyebrows furrowed in concern.
As Gu An entered the room, he was about to close the door when Ji Xiaoyu suddenly appeared out of thin air, her hand pressing against the door.
"What are you doing?" Gu An furrowed his brows and looked at Ji Xiaoyu, his face showing fear.
Ji Xiaoyu's expression remained blank as she took a step forward, startling him into retreating.
Bang! The door slammed shut behind Ji Xiaoyu as she entered the room.
Gu An backed away until he reached the table, his eyes fixed on Ji Xiaoyu's emotionless face, feeling anxious.
What was this woman up to? Was she going to beat him up or was she going to do what Jiang Qiong did? Just thinking about last night's commotion gave Gu An a headache.
Sigh!
Why did so many women take a liking to him? Even if he refused, it wouldn't work.
Ji Xiaoyu walked up to him and said, "Over the years, as I've delved into the Path of Cause and Effect, I've discovered that your disciple, Long Qing, possesses extraordinary cause and effect. Where did you find him? Do you know his true identity?"
Upon hearing this, Gu An was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Extraordinary cause and effect? What do you mean? What's wrong with him? Could he be the reincarnation of a Heaven Demon?"
Ji Xiaoyu studied Gu An's expression, sensing that he wasn't lying.
Her face softened, and she said, "Whether he's a Heaven Demon or not is hard to say. If you keep him here, it will surely bring you trouble. Either hand him over to me or let Shen Xinzi take him to the Sea of Suffering Buddhist Sect."
"That's not right. He grew up in the Third Medicine Valley since he was young. How could I possibly drive him away?" Gu An frowned as he spoke.
Ji Xiaoyu took a deep breath and said, "His bloodline is not ordinary. I can sense that my innate Dao talisman is wary of his cause and effect and doesn't want to get involved. I'm not joking. Don't you want to live a peaceful life forever?"
Gu An thought to himself, He's the descendant of one of my past lives, so his bloodline is naturally extraordinary!
"Does that senior also know this?" Gu An asked.
He was referring to the Moonshadow Emperor.
That fellow was still inside the house, recovering from his injuries, and had not eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Perhaps," Ji Xiaoyu replied, her face showing some impatience. It was unclear if it was because of Long Qing or Jiang Qiong.
Gu An clenched the Destiny Pen in his hand and hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, I can't abandon him. He treats me like a father. How could I drive him away? Even if there's a great cause and effect, what of it? Maybe by the time I die, he still won't have faced his tribulation."
Seeing Gu An's determined expression, Ji Xiaoyu became annoyed. Why was this man so stubborn?
"What if he brings disaster to the entire Medicine Valley or even the Great Mystery Sect?" Ji Xiaoyu asked, suppressing her anger.
Gu An's expression turned serious as he said, "Your cause and effect is not simple either. If you encounter trouble, should I also distance myself from you to avoid suspicion?"
"Impossible! I can't do that! I, Gu An, am not that kind of person!"
His words resonated, causing Ji Xiaoyu's expression to soften.
As expected, women are women, using any excuse to vent.
Gu An was certain that Ji Xiaoyu was jealous of Jiang Qiong.
Ji Xiaoyu humphed, "You're good at saying nice things. If that day really comes, I bet you'll run faster than anyone."
Gu An covered his chest and pretended to be in pain, saying, "You actually think that of me..."
Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. She gave him a sidelong glance and walked to his side. A book appeared in her hand, which she placed on the table.
Gu An looked at it closely.
There was only one word on it.
"Dragon!" Ji Xiaoyu introduced, "This is a book I dreamed of in my past life. The Cycle Dao Emperor often held it in his hands. The book records the evolution of a family. You like reading this kind of book, don't you? I'm letting you see it, but don't spread it around."
Gu An couldn't help but ask, "Dragon? Could it be related to Long Qing?"
Ji Xiaoyu didn't say more and turned to leave.
When she closed the door, she didn't slam it as hard as before, gently shutting it instead.
