Chapter 311 The Ghost King's Target

"Great!"

Wanren led Gu Qing away, intending to ask Gu Qing to subdue the demons and monsters, while also inquiring about Gu Qing's name.

"I am the most disappointing disciple in the Qingyun Sect."

With a look of shame on his face, Gu Qing said, "I have been cultivating on the mountain for decades and have only just achieved something..." Through these words, Gu Qing created an image of being self-pitying and eager for fame, and then said, "My name is Ye Fan."

Gu Qing, who was also a veteran actor with decades of experience, was performing at the 10,000-person gathering. When he got emotional, his eyes were filled with tears, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances under the high-pressure education environment of Qingyun Sect.

"A real man will make something of himself sooner or later."

Ten thousand people went to comfort him.

"Yes!"

Gu Qing gripped the sword hilt tightly and shouted, "Never underestimate a young man's potential!"

Wan Renwang was somewhat speechless. As the Ghost King, he had a keen eye for people's hearts and had seen far too many like Gu Qing. As for the saying "Don't underestimate a young man's poverty"... Gu Qing had just said that he had been cultivating in Qingyun Mountain for decades, which was already a case of "Don't underestimate an old man's poverty." It was a matter of respecting the dying.

Even so, Wan Renwang couldn't help but scrutinize Gu Qing. Seeing that Gu Qing was very beautiful, he guessed that the grievances Gu Qing had suffered might be related to her outstanding appearance.

"correct."

At this moment, Gu Qing asked curiously, "Why are you so sure I'm a member of the Qingyun Sect?"

You just fly around with your sword flashing in broad daylight, didn't you reveal your identity long ago?

Wanrenwang was most adept at seeing the big picture from small details, but he didn't tell Gu Qing his deduction at this moment. He simply said, "I'm just guessing randomly. After all, someone with your demeanor should be a member of the Qingyun Sect."

"That's it."

Gu Qing casually brushed it off, seemingly without suspicion, and steadily followed behind Wan Renwang, inquiring about the mountain demon's situation.

“The demon lives in the mountains, and the people dare not go into the mountains because they really don’t know what’s going on.”

Wan Renwang led Gu Qing to a boat by the water and said, "However, recently the demons have been frequently harassing this place. Sword Immortal can wait here to ambush them."

Gu Qing looked around. Outside Zhushan City, there were many multi-story ships, most of which housed families. As his gaze passed over them, he noticed that the windows of one of the ships were bright and clean, and there were beautiful women inside, frequently looking out. When they saw Gu Qing, they all became shy and timid, showing great interest.

Wan Renwang, seeing Gu Qing looking around, whispered, "Master Ye, this is our pleasure boat. If you have a daughter, you can entertain guests on this boat. Most of those craning their necks to look are doing this."

Gu Qing nodded. In fact, he had more experience in the martial arts world. Although he hadn't boarded these ships, he knew they were "honey traps."

In ancient times, there were carriages, boats, inns, porters, and spies. Even innocent people could be killed. One should not easily board a boat. Once on board and sailing to the middle of the water, one would be in a situation where one could neither live nor die. Kidnapping and extortion were considered mild. There are many luxury boats in front of us, with beautiful women, but in the end, they are all luring people onto the boats.

"Let's get on this boat."

Wanren led Gu Qing onto a multi-story ship. On the ship, there was a woman who was exceptionally beautiful. She then led Gu Qing into the cabin.

"This humble woman, Shen Xiaoyu, greets Master Ye."

The stunningly beautiful woman slowly lowered her head towards Gu Qing, a truly captivating sight.

Gu Qing was immediately at a loss, not knowing what to do. Wan Renwang saw this and repeatedly comforted him, suggesting that wine and meat be served on the ship, with Shen Xiaoyu accompanying him, and that Gu Qing drink there first.

"You can't drink!" Gu Qing quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "Qingyun Sect has a rule that you can't use your flying sword after drinking. I still have to slay demons and monsters."

Seeing this, Wan Renwang smiled and asked Shen Xiaoyu to play music. Wan Renwang then chatted with Gu Qing. Gu Qing knew that this Ghost King was the most cunning, so he did not test him. He simply played his role and remained unchanged in the face of all changes.

Suddenly, golden light appeared in the sky, and tens of thousands of people looked up and gazed outwards.

"Why are the monks from Tianyin Temple here?"

Gu Qing seemed very curious, but he knew what was going on. On Dragon Head Peak, Gu Qing had heard that the monks of Tianyin Temple had come to the vicinity of Qingyun, which was why he said goodbye to Cangsong and came out to get the Heavenly Book.

This beam of Buddha light is most likely caused by Gu Qing.

"However, with the seniors from Tianyin Temple around, things will be much easier!"

Gu Qing patted his chest and said to Wan Renwang, "Even if I am powerless, the monks of Tianyin Temple will surely lend a helping hand."

"Yes."

Ten thousand people chuckled lightly, but the smiles didn't reach their eyes.

At this moment, Gu Qing suddenly realized that the most important reason why Wan Renwang was looking for Gu Qing was to target the monks of Tianyin Temple, and that Wan Renwang even knew the monks' identities.

The Ghost King Sect and Tianyin Temple have a deep-seated feud. Biyao's mother and grandmother were killed by the monk Pufang of Tianyin Temple. During the ordeal, Biyao and her mother, Xiaochi, were trapped under the ruins for many days without food or water. Xiaochi used her own body to keep Biyao alive. This cruel reality created a rift between Biyao and the Ghost King Sect, and she naturally hated the monk Pufang of Tianyin Temple to the core.

Having figured out the Ghost King's thoughts, Gu Qing relaxed and looked at Shen Xiaoyu. He observed that her every move seemed to be captivating, suggesting she was a woman from the Hehuan Sect.

"Xiaoyu, serve the great hero some wine."

Upon seeing this, Wanren immediately gave orders.

Shen Xiaoyu put down her zither and gracefully approached Gu Qing. She picked up the wine cup and carefully handed it to Gu Qing.

"This is the only cup; there will be no more."

Gu Qing seemed to be bewitched, accepting the wine and, relying on his good deeds, drinking it down, further lowering the Ghost King's guard against him.

Upon seeing this, Wan Renwang's smile widened, and he said, "We've chatted about so much, the food and wine are getting cold, go heat them up..." After giving the order, Wan Renwang told Gu Qing about his identity, saying that all the ships in this area had to pay him, and that they would surely reward Gu Qing handsomely after he slew the demons.

While they were talking, the food was heated up. Shen Xiaoyu served Gu Qing rice and dishes, and Gu Qing buried his head and ate some. According to the senses of the Good Deeds System, there were no toxins in the food and wine.

You should eat too!

Gu Qing looked at Wan Renwang, and Shen Xiaoyu spoke.

"Hero Ye..."

Shen Xiaoyu whimpered, "I want you to feed me." She looked pitiful as she spoke.

She is indeed quite charming.

Seeing this, Gu Qing picked up some food and was about to feed it to Shen Xiaoyu when he suddenly felt a chill. He looked to the side and saw Lu Xueqi riding a flying sword, her face frosty, flying over.

Gu Qing reached out and pressed Shen Xiaoyu's head down onto the plate, saying, "Is this how I feed you? Can't you eat properly?"

We can't let Xueqi misunderstand!
