Gu Ping walked in front of the desk in his bedroom, lighting a candle. By the faint candlelight, he reviewed the information Yang Yan had given him. There was a lot to go through, and it had been nearly three days since he received it. He hadn't finished reading everything, especially the details about the battle from four days ago, which contained many insights about cultivators that ordinary people wouldn't understand, as well as some information provided by Zhuang Zhixian.
The sandalwood desk emitted a faint fragrance, slightly awakening Gu Ping's fatigued mind. However, he couldn't deny that there was nothing new that Bei Qinping had discovered that he hadn't already noticed.
Gu Ping placed a few sheets of paper filled with dense handwriting aside and closed his eyes, seeking a moment of rest while rubbing his temples with his right leg.
He began to sort through his thoughts, but his mind felt like a tangled mess. Whether it was Feiyuxuzong or the Light Path, or even the Great Jin Royal Family, everyone seemed unrelated. The Jin Dynasty and the current emperor were involved, and according to Ancient Words, this should have been a conflict between the Great Jin Royal Family and the Jade Void Sect. Yet there were numerous doubts.
After all, the royal family was just a group of mortals; how could they compare to cultivators? Even if the Great Jin Yang Family was a family of immortals, how could they stand against the Jade Void Sect backed by Tai Xu Dao Men?
It seemed unreasonable for the Jade Void Sect to go through such elaborate schemes involving mere mortals. It suggested that the Great Jin Royal Family did not have the qualifications to be compared with the Jade Void Sect.
Gu Ping shook his head and continued to ponder over this matter.
Ten years ago, Spring Pavilion had been a sensational place that drew everyone's attention—a place that forced people to take sides. But who was forcing whom? Who truly held the initiative in that conflict?
Many people had sought him out back then—individuals from the Jin Dynasty as well as those from the Jade Void Sect—along with numerous other factions.
Suddenly, Gu Ping recalled something Ancient Words had said before. It seemed that the Jade Void Sect was testing the waters; they were wary of the royal family. If that were true, then ten years ago, the royal family must have held a dominant position.
The old emperor could use an imperial edict to have Yang Xin ascend to power, and Yang Xin could manipulate Ancient Words—a newly appointed official—and Yang Yin, who was then the crown prince, into playing their roles perfectly. They could even withstand pressure from the Jade Void Sect. After ten years had passed, Ancient Words remained safe and sound; it appeared that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Gu Ping realized he knew too little about these matters. He picked up more information regarding Heavenly Cloud Dragon Swallowing the Moon once again.
Great Master, he recalled how Liu Lao Jiu had described the Great Master to him, pointing to the sky and saying that only a cultivator as large as that day could be considered a Great Master. Based on the rank of cultivators that Zhuang Zhixian had previously mentioned, Bu Luo thought that at least a cultivator at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Void level would be needed to create the scene of Cloud Dragon Swallowing the Moon.
Indeed.
Gu Ping suddenly thought of something. He picked up the paper in his lap and searched through the densely packed small characters for the information he needed. To do this, Gu Ping reviewed the battle report from that day once more.
Throughout that battle, there had been no presence of Golden Core cultivators from the Jade Void Sect until the Great Master of Light Path made his move, at which point a matching opponent from Jade Void Sect finally appeared to counter him.
The battle was full of twists and turns, lasting nearly two hours. According to Liu Lao Jiu, given his speed after breaking through, that much time would have been enough for him to make a round trip from Jincheng to Chenqiao. Was it really just a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator? What about Golden Core and Nascent Soul?
From Liu Lao Jiu and Zhuang Zhixian, Gu Ping had roughly understood the levels of cultivators. He naturally knew that the higher the rank, the stronger the corresponding power. But why was it that while Light Path appeared at his doorstep, no one from Jade Void Sect showed up? What had happened in between?
Suddenly, Gu Ping felt he had grasped the key to the situation; all signs pointed towards the royal family and Jade Void Sect. Cigarette Paper seemed to indicate that cultivators were crucial, but what secrets were being hidden?
Great Jin Yang Family...
Gu Ping silently sighed in his heart.
In Lingyuan Pavilion in Jincheng, Hong Ling gazed at the messenger pigeon flying in from afar. She waved her hand as the messenger pigeon landed on her lap, retrieving the small note tied to its leg before placing it on the windowsill.
Slowly unrolling the note with her fingers, Hong Ling's heart echoed with two words: as expected.
"What’s wrong?" Hong Yulong's voice came from behind her, though she didn't know when he had entered.
I casually entered the girl's room, completely unaware of any shyness.
Although Hong Ling was saying one thing, deep down she didn't deny it. She felt much closer to Hong Yulong. At least before the Cloud Dragon Swallowing the Moon incident, they were just ordinary friends. Their relationship no longer felt as stagnant as it once had.
What was there to be shy about? Sooner or later, she would be his.
Hong Yulong walked up behind Hong Ling. Long ago, he had expressed his feelings to her, but the four words "Celestial" had always stood between them. After enduring great hardships, Hong Ling seemed to have come to terms with things and no longer felt conflicted about her identity as a Cursed Ruby Dragon cultivator.
Who said that if he got angry one day, he would just find someone else to marry? Let's see what happens then!
Pouting her lips, Hong Ling only realized how much she cared for the person behind her when she saw Hong Yulong during the Great War with Chongguang. She understood that she truly valued that quiet genius who had always been by her side, wanting nothing more than to spend a simple life together with her.
She dared to think that if she didn’t want to marry, he would kill that person and then take her back.
Through the mirror, Hong Ling could see the satisfied expression on Hong Yulong's face as his legs slowly wrapped around her shoulders, holding her tightly without any resistance. Coco, this was how it should be for the two of them.
