Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Xiaolongnu's words made Yue Que realize what was going on.

This heartless tyrant, Lord Gongsun Zhi, intends to make her his son-in-law?

Even the fastest marriage proposal isn't this fast!

Oh~

This era was a time of frenzied competition for sons-in-law, especially after the imperial examinations were held.

It happened so fast.

Once he becomes Yue Que's son-in-law, Gongsun Zhi can then take over Yue Que's ancient tomb assets.

How can this be allowed?

Whether the ancient tomb succeeds or fails is a matter for the ancient tomb itself, and outsiders have no right to comment.

In the blink of an eye, Yue Que saw through Gongsun Zhi's plans and ambitions.

Because of his hatred for his wife Qiu Qianchi, even his daughter Gongsun Lü'e was merely part of Gongsun Zhi's plan; what a tragic girl she was.

"...Go with the flow."

"I want to see what this Lord of Heartless Valley is really up to!"

Yue Que commented on the matter: "If I were a potential son-in-law, it means you two might also have caught each other's eye!"

"Um?!"

With a furrowed brow, Xiaolongnu's slightly raised tone conveyed her opinion.

In Xiaolongnu's view, this was already a provocation against the dignity of the ancient tomb.

The second game between myself and Que'er has already begun. What would it mean if something happened to Que'er in the middle of it?

Having already won the first game, Xiaolongnu placed great importance on the second game.

Xiaolongnu wouldn't allow outsiders to interfere with this game she was playing with Que'er.

She might not think much of it if she were to rob someone, but robbing Yue Que is unacceptable.

A murderous intent had already formed in Xiaolongnu's heart, and she had sentenced the Heartless Valley Master, whom she had never met, to death.

"How dare you!"

Li Mochou expressed her murderous intent with just two simple words.

Aside from those in the Ancient Tomb, very few people in the world who could flirt with the Red Serpent Fairy could live peacefully.

Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, on the other hand, exhibited a stress-induced reaction.

Regardless of the other person's appearance, the fact that a man with such a grown daughter would have such thoughts is enough to make one disgusted.

……

The banquet was lavish and extremely lively.

Such a scale is rare in the Valley of Heartbreak in recent years.

As for Yue Que and the other people in the ancient tomb, after guessing what was going on inside, they felt an uncomfortable feeling of being spied on.

Moreover, the fact that the person in charge has not yet appeared means that the two sides have not fallen out for the time being, so Yue Que and the others cannot take direct action.

Moreover, they also wanted to see what tricks Gongsun Zhi was up to.

After all, watching a show after knowing the answer is a completely different experience from watching a show without knowing the answer.

soon.

When Gongsun Lü'e came out again, her expression did not change much.

Clearly, this silly girl didn't know what had happened either.

After inquiring around, they might just assume it's because some outsiders accidentally wandered into the Valley of Heartbreak and caused a commotion.

With a gentle smile on her face, Gongsun Lü'e displayed the elegance of a lady from a prominent family, and calmly invited Yue Que and the others to come forward.

"Everyone, thank you for waiting."

After making proper arrangements, Gongsun Lü'e apologized and then said, "My father is the Lord of the Heartless Valley. He has arrived. Please come to the main seat so that we can fulfill our duties as hosts."

"Please!" Gongsun Lü'e invited again with a graceful bow.

"Please!" Yue Que subconsciously returned the Taoist greeting, originally intending to clasp his hands in a fist salute.

Faced with such courtesy, the three members of the Red Serpent Fairy group returned the courtesy of Taoist priests.

Little Dragon Girl, however, nodded slightly in response to the other person's gaze.

This is quite a show of courtesy from Xiaolongnu. She didn't directly retaliate against those who wanted to take her Que'er, which is already quite polite.

It is said that one cannot hit a smiling face. A well-educated and sensible young lady like Gongsun Lü'e is indeed a pleasant person to talk to.

soon.

Led by Gongsun Lü'e, the group met the true leader of the Valley of Heartbreak—Gongsun Zhi.

As they could see, Yue Que and his companions spotted a middle-aged man standing on the steps in a brand-new royal blue satin robe. The color and style of his clothing stood out against the sea of ​​green in the Valley of Heartbreak, just like Yue Que and his group of outsiders.

The middle-aged man was about forty-five or forty-six years old. He was handsome, had a dashing demeanor, and a slight mustache on his upper lip and under his chin.

At first glance, he gives off an air of lofty elegance, with the air of a hermit and a gentleman.

If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Zhi was missing a folding fan, this sudden meeting would have given Yue Que the illusion that he hadn't come to the Valley of Heartbreak, but rather to Mount Hua where he had met the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun.

This shows that Gongsun Zhi must have been a handsome young man with outstanding looks when he was young.

However, the other person's complexion was currently poor, with a sallow and withered appearance, making them look somewhat sickly.

He doesn't look like a martial arts master at all.

"Gongsun Zhi is just putting on a show!"

Having experience in feeding people sweetness, Yue Que immediately saw through the man's plan.

Since Gongsun Zhi wanted to offer him a treat and chose to leap up and present it to him, Yue Que should eat this treat just like Xiaolongnu did back then.

To be honest, seeing someone choose the same path he had taken before still made Yue Que feel a little uneasy.

Yue Que now understood how Xiaolongnu must have felt when she saw him.

Fortunately, Xiaolongnu always presented a cold and aloof image, and was able to control her emotions with strong self-control for such a long time. If it were Yue Que, he would have laughed out loud.

"I am Gongsun Zhi, the unworthy master of the Heartless Valley."

"Greetings, everyone."

"Please take a seat, everyone, as we are honored to have you here."

"No outsiders have visited the valley for a long time, and the people of the valley are quite curious about your arrival, so they have prepared a more lavish feast for you."

Gongsun Zhi first clasped his hands in greeting and then spoke directly. If seeing him from afar had only stirred his heart, seeing him up close now had stirred his soul.

Even the celestial maidens of the Nine Heavens could not surpass her.

His gaze lingered briefly on the Red Serpent Fairy and Little Dragon Girl, then swept over Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, finally settling on Yue Que.

Seeing the young man's unremarkable appearance, Gongsun Zhi inwardly admired that the other man possessed the same charm as himself in his youth. In terms of demeanor and appearance alone, Gongsun Zhi was actually somewhat inferior.

"Ancient Tomb Yue Que".

"The Little Dragon Girl of the Ancient Tomb"

"Li Mochou of the Ancient Tomb"

"Hong Lingbo (Lu Wushuang) of the Ancient Tomb".

When Gongsun Zhi introduced himself, everyone naturally used the same self-introductions they had given to Gongsun Lü'e, and then they all returned the Taoist greeting to Gongsun Zhi.

Ancient tomb?

Gongsun Zhiren was a little stunned.

The name seemed familiar... but because of Yue Que and the others' Taoist etiquette, Gongsun Zhi was misled and couldn't remember it for a moment, leading him to mistakenly believe that this ancient tomb belonged to some Taoist sect.

As long as it's not the Quanzhen Sect, everything is fine.

Coupled with the ancestral precepts of the valley, even with Gongsun Zhi's special arrangements, his understanding of the outside world of martial arts was very limited, except for top-level events.

For example, at present, Gongsun Zhi only knows about the Heroes' Gathering and the theft of tens of millions of taels of silver from the Xiangyang Treasury.

Especially the latter, Gongsun Zhi thought to himself that those people who used snakes as their code name were truly formidable.

Even though the Gongsun family is a descendant of a martial arts family, Gongsun Zhi knows that he cannot afford to provoke such terrifying characters if he encounters them.

If they were to meet, Gongsun Zhi would have to carry the Valley of Heartbreak away and retreat three steps away.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, they were drinking wine produced in the Valley of Heartbreak.

The wine is quite good, it's just a pity it's not made with love flowers.

Yue Que thought that if there was a chance, he could try using love flowers as an ingredient.

However, when it came time to drink, Fairy Chilian took a small sip first, subtly indicating that it was alright, before the others raised their cups together.

All the women took a sip, even Little Dragon Girl took a small taste, her fair face flushed. Yue Que, on the other hand, just pursed his lips, as if to moisten them.

As for Gongsun Zhi, he paid more attention to the two sisters, Chi Lian Fairy and Xiao Longnv.

Surprisingly, only Gongsun Lü'e noticed this action.

Mistakenly believing that Yue Que couldn't drink, Gongsun Lü'e subconsciously gave Yue Que an apologetic look.

After a series of casual, probing inquiries and pleasantries, Gongsun Zhi finally revealed his true intentions.

Gongsun Zhi slowly put down his wine cup, looked at Yue Que with a serious expression, and said, "Young Master Yue!"

"Valley Master, please speak!" Yue Que thought to himself, "As expected, they've arrived."

"I wonder what you think of my daughter, Lü'e, young master?" Gongsun Zhi had noticed some of his daughter Lü'e's subtle expressions, and now he no longer held back, revealing his true colors.

Gongsun Lü'e: "???"

"..."

Yue Que paused for a moment, meeting Gongsun Zhi's gaze, and then, seeing Gongsun Lü'e's astonished expression, he still gave his answer based on facts: "Elegant and refined, graceful and ethereal, possessing the natural beauty and spirit of mountains, rivers, sun, and moon!"

Yue Que did not describe Gongsun Lü'e's appearance, but only commented on her temperament.

Gongsun Lü'e was the first truly refined young lady that Yue Que had ever met.

Lu Wushuang and Guo Fu don't count.

Gongsun Lü'e didn't know why Young Master Yue said that, but she still subconsciously lowered her head and blushed shyly.

So Gongsun Lü'e, with her head down, picked up the wine cup and brought it to her lips, trying to hide the blush on her face.

Seeing his daughter's shyness and the appearance of the women around Yue Que, Gongsun Zhi understood why Yue Que only mentioned temperament.

Therefore, Gongsun Zhi was even less likely to give up: "Since Young Master Yue has a good impression of my daughter, and my daughter also has a good impression of Young Master Yue."

"Why not take this opportunity to form a marriage alliance?"

"My Gongsun family is quite wealthy."

With a single sentence, the scene was instantly transformed into a silent wasteland.

Fortunately, Yue Que and the others were mentally prepared, but Gongsun Lü'e, who was also a party involved, was so shocked that she subconsciously stood up.

Speechless with astonishment, Gongsun Lü'e was so shocked that the wine cup at her lips fell to the ground.

Snapped!

The wine glass falling to the ground is a signal that the glass has been smashed!

Do it!

In an instant, action was taken.
