Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 427 The heart that yearns for the Dao is unwavering!

With his limited strength, how could he possibly obtain the Myriad Swords Gourd right under the noses of so many experts?

Besides, although he had a grudge against Zheng Changlong, it wasn't necessary for him to take revenge right now.

If Su Qiuyue really thinks that these two points alone will be enough to get Gu Yuan to help her, she's probably dreaming.

"Brother Gu is right."

Seeing that Gu Yuan was too lazy to even pretend anymore, Su Qiuyue's heart sank. She stopped beating around the bush and simply said what she was thinking: "Since that's the case, then I'll be frank."

"I would like to ask Brother Gu for your help in capturing Zheng Changlong. If we are unable to capture him alive, then we will kill him. I will deliver the final blow to kill Zheng Changlong. As for you, Brother Gu, you only need to provide support."

"Afterwards, all the clues about the Myriad Swords Gourd on Zheng Changlong's body, as well as everything else on him, belong to you, Brother Gu. Furthermore, you can pin the entire blame on me, Brother Gu. I can also swear that I will never reveal your identity, otherwise I will be plagued by inner demons and never have the chance to achieve immortality in this life. What do you think, Brother Gu?"

At this point, Su Qiuyue stared intently at Gu Yuan.

"Fairy Su is indeed magnanimous."

Gu Yuan said calmly, though he was slightly surprised.

Whenever a disciple of a major sect, or a disciple or descendant of a powerful figure, encounters an accident outside, their master or father can often use some kind of karmic divination to find out the culprit.

So, as Su Qiuyue just said, if they can't capture Zheng Changlong alive and have to kill him, then she will do it herself.

In other words, Gu Yuan only needs to help in this matter; she will handle the killing and offending people, and all the benefits will go to Gu Yuan.

It can be said that if Su Qiuyue did not lie to Gu Yuan, then she did this matter with considerable sincerity.

However, Gu Yuan didn't quite trust the other party.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, looked at the other party, and decided to be honest: "This matter is of great importance. I can agree to your request, but I don't quite trust you."

"Don't you trust me?"

Su Qiuyue was taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly somewhat astonished. She quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, took out a jade talisman, and then used a spell to separate a wisp of her divine soul, which flowed out from between her eyebrows and was sealed in the jade talisman.

After finishing these tasks, Su Qiuyue's face was pale, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Then, she handed the jade talisman to Gu Yuan and said seriously, "This talisman seals a wisp of my soul. Once the talisman is destroyed, the soul inside will dissipate, and I will be severely injured as well. It may even affect my cultivation foundation, and I may not be able to form a core in the future."

"If I do this, I don't know if Brother Gu will still trust me?"

Gu Yuan met Su Qiuyue's bright eyes and saw undisguised persistence and sincerity. Then, Gu Yuan slowly nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

By doing this, Su Qiuyue essentially put half of her life in Gu Yuan's hands. If Gu Yuan had any ill intentions, Su Qiuyue would be at his mercy.

Since that's the case, Gu Yuan naturally won't hold anything against it anymore.

Gu Yuan asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I'm very curious. We don't have any real relationship, so why do you trust me so much, Fairy Su?"

Su Qiuyue looked at Gu Yuan for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Gu, you may not know this, but I spent some money to investigate you before. Although many people regard you as a monster with a strong bloodlust, you have a bottom line. At least you have never harmed the innocent, nor have you ever actively harmed anyone."

"Those you have killed with your sword all deserve to die, whether they are those who actively provoked you or demons and evil spirits. Someone like you, with a firm Dao heart and your own bottom line and thoughts, surely you wouldn't compromise your Dao heart for my sake." Gu Yuan looked at the other party with some surprise. He hadn't expected that someone would understand him so well.

However, few people can match Su Qiuyue's ruthless and decisive spirit in achieving her goals by any means necessary.

Now that the two have made a verbal agreement, they are temporarily considered to be on the same side, and naturally they have become closer, without the initial awkwardness and distance.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but ask:
"Fairy Su, have you considered the consequences of doing this?"

What consequences?
The consequence, naturally, would be the capture or execution of Zheng Changlong!

Zheng Changlong is the son of a powerful Yang God. If he goes missing or even dies, his father, the Old Man of Hun Tian, ​​will surely find out.

At that time, Su Qiuyue will be the first to be affected!
Even the Taixu Temple might not be able to protect her.

If she were to anger the Old Man of Hun Tian, ​​he might take his anger out on the Tai Xu Temple. In that case, even the fellow disciples of the Tai Xu Temple and the temple master might have a problem with Su Qiuyue and would no longer tolerate her.

After all, although Su Qiuyue had an extraordinary background, her personal cultivation was incomparable to the Taixu Temple Abbot's attainment of the Dao and the creation of the Primordial Spirit.

Therefore, it's hard to guarantee that he won't take his anger out on her.

Although Gu Yuan did not say what was on his mind, Su Qiuyue, with her intelligence, naturally understood what Gu Yuan meant.

She chuckled softly: "I know the consequences, of course. But I have made a vow since childhood to attain the Great Dao. I have been cultivating for this purpose until now, and I am only a hair's breadth away from the Golden Core stage. Why should I submit to others and abandon my path for the sake of the greater good and for others?"

"Even if it's the abbot of our Taixu Temple, I won't acknowledge him!"

"If one fails to attain the Dao, one will ultimately face death. All people have a destiny, which is nothing more than good or bad, long or short. Since I have vowed to attain the Dao and live forever, I will naturally not care about such trivial matters."

At this point, Su Qiuyue looked at Gu Yuan with a smile and said, "I wonder what Brother Gu thinks of my reason?"

Su Qiuyue had bright, clear eyes and a beautiful yet dignified face. When she spoke these words, she gave off a divine aura of loyalty to the Dao and sincerity towards the Dao.

Even with Gu Yuan's calm and collected nature, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then took a deep look at the woman in front of him.

He hadn't expected that Su Qiuyue's heart was so firm and persistent in her pursuit of the Dao.

Even Gu Yuan himself is probably inferior in this respect.

Gu Yuan had to admit that among all the female cultivators he had met since he began cultivating, apart from Qin Hongxiu, the most mysterious Peach Blossom Fairy from Rotten Axe Mountain, Su Qiuyue was the one he couldn't understand the most.

"Fellow Daoist Su's steadfast Daoist resolve is truly admirable."

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Yuan tossed the jade talisman he had just received back to the other party.

Su Qiuyue was somewhat stunned. She subconsciously took the jade talisman, seemingly puzzled as to why Gu Yuan had returned it to her.

Seeing the surprise on Su Qiuyue's face, Gu Yuan smiled and explained, "I didn't trust you before, so I needed a guarantee. But now, there's no need for any guarantee anymore. Someone with such a Dao heart must be no ordinary person, so I trust you, Fellow Daoist Su."
