He Ling True Master said this, seemingly modest, but clearly was protecting his disciple.
Turning the phrase "disrespectful to elders" from You ng True Master’s mouth into "a bit naughty," and then imdiately saying he is very filial to him and Situ Yan.
Moreover, his cultivation talent is good, and his alchemical talent is exceptionally good.
The aning of these words is clear: Does Gu Yuan disrespect elders, and do I and Situ Yan not know?
Why is he only disrespectful to you—don’t you realize it?
You ng True Master’s face imdiately turned gloomy, becoming quite unpleasant.
She was about to say sothing, but upon seeing Situ Yan, who remained silent at the side and was leisurely drinking tea, she ultimately said nothing.
If it were just He Ling True Master, she could question him, assuming her role of responsibilities.
But Situ Yan... he is also her senior brother, with much older qualifications and a status that far exceeds hers.
The aning of He Ling True Master’s words was obvious, showing that Situ Yan also thought highly of Gu Yuan, so she should not engage in any framing or distorting of facts.
Therefore, she had to restrain so of her inner thoughts.
The facts were clear: with He Ling True Master and Situ Yan around, she could not and would not be able to do anything.
However, You ng True Master was a bit frustrated. Why did Gu Yuan, this little brat, even win the favor of Situ Yan? How was this possible?
Just because he had so talent in alchemy?!
"Less nonsense!"
You ng True Master no longer paid attention to He Ling True Master and instead looked at Gu Yuan: "Five months ago, your uncle master, Cyan Wood True Master’s Soul Lamp was extinguished, and he died. Are you aware of this matter?"
Gu Yuan shook his head decisively: "I didn’t know at the ti, but a month ago, when I just ca back from the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, my master did ntion it."
Talking about this, Gu Yuan sighed in regret: "Uncle Master You ng, to be honest, I truly feel regretful about this matter."
Truly regretful?
You ng True Master frowned, thinking she heard wrong. Cyan Wood True Master, like her, belonged to a noble clan faction and was always proud of the noble clan disciples, looking down upon disciples like Gu Yuan, who ca from lower-caste origins.
And she was certain that Cyan Wood True Master had no goodwill towards Gu Yuan either.
Under such circumstances, Gu Yuan actually said he truly felt regretful for Cyan Wood True Master’s death?
Gu Yuan, however, seed oblivious to You ng True Master’s expression, continuing with a look of pity:
"Though I only had a few encounters with Uncle Master Cyan Wood, he was kind, cheerful, generous, and regarded highly. It’s a pity... such a good person, I don’t know which damn villain bore him enmity to murder him, alas..."
"..."
You ng True Master fell silent, though knowing Gu Yuan was spouting nonsense, there was nothing she could say to retort.
Pausing, she looked at Gu Yuan, her eyes sharpened like swords: "At the ti, when Cyan Wood True Master died, where were you, and what were you doing?"
Gu Yuan smiled and queried in return: "Oh? Does Uncle Master You ng suspect that Uncle Master Cyan Wood’s death has sothing to do with ?"
"Nephew Gu!"
You ng True Master snorted coldly, her tone indifferent in cautioning: "Do not forget, now, I am the one questioning you! Should you conceal even a shred, I have reason to suspect your guilt and nervous concealnt, so you’d better spill everything you know!"
"Ah, yes, absolutely, Uncle Master You ng is completely right, I think the sa."
Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly, seemingly oblivious to the unkindness in her words, and said: "At that ti, I was at my residence on Changfeng Street, uh, secluded in my courtyard cultivating a divine technique."
"Is that so?"
You ng True Master’s expression remained unchanged, speaking coldly: "Originally, people noticed you wandering the streets more than once, and a few days before the incident, they saw you et with Cyan Wood True Master. After conversing, Cyan Wood True Master’s face didn’t look too good."
"Can you tell , at that ti, what did you and Cyan Wood True Master discuss?"
As soon as these words landed, You ng True Master’s face remained cold, her presence suffused with an oppressive aura.
Changing the circumstance for soone else, at this point, they might be quaking, standing weak-kneed under such intimidation.
Yet Gu Yuan appeared unaffected, his expression unchanged, even picking his ear as if flicking nonexistent skin flakes, entirely casual.
No joke, Golden Core Great Cultivators, he has killed no less than five or six already; the You ng True Master before him, though strong, was after all rely a Second Grade or Third Grade Golden Core Great Cultivator. If it truly ca to a fight, Gu Yuan would bet victory assuredly on himself.
Observing this, You ng True Master’s countenance shifted, recalling so of Gu Yuan’s rumors and battles, realizing she had done sothing foolish.
Rumors had it; Gu Yuan had slain several Golden Core Great Cultivators — could she suppress him with re aura?
Faced with these inquiries, Gu Yuan responded: "Wandering the street was just to relax during cultivation, a trivial stroll to ease boredom."
"As for eting and chatting with Uncle Master Cyan Wood before the incident, I do not acknowledge it. I did not enter Jade Cauldron Tower in those days. I highly suspect soone has mistaken or is deliberately slandering !"
You ng True Master’s gaze inspected his face several tis, trying to discern truth in his words.
Yet after a few glances, whether due to Gu Yuan’s impeccable expression managent or truthfulness, nothing could be deciphered.
You ng True Master did not dwell excessively on this topic, coldly speaking: "Then you, a re inner sect disciple, how did you gain a place for a Red Dragon Order?"
Gu Yuan was montarily dumbfounded, sowhat bewildered: "A re Red Dragon Order spot, is it difficult to obtain?"
Upon hearing this, He Ling True Master couldn’t help but glance at him, coughing once and subsequently sipping so nearby tea.
On the other side, Situ Yan sat primly, eyes half-opened, as if in so semi-conscious state.
The corner of You ng True Master’s mouth twitched, perceiving Gu Yuan’s expression as shaless:
"Oh? Then how did you obtain it?"
Gu Yuan replied: "Speaking of it, I received the spot, as a gift from Su Qiuyue of Taixu Temple. On this matter, Su Qiuyue, and Duan Chen, True Disciple of the Star River Sword Sect, can testify for ."
The na Ji Canghai naturally cannot be ntioned, as he is from the Primordial Nether Sect.
ntioning it, Gu Yuan felt he’d be thoroughly entangled.
Using Su Qiuyue as an excuse should be fine, for Taixu Temple was no less a major Immortal Dao Cultivation Sect than dicine King Mountain.
Su Qiuyue, True Inheritance of Taixu Temple, held a position not inferior to Li Changsheng from dicine King Mountain. No matter how many guts, You ng True Master wouldn’t dare to confront her.
