"Gong Leitian, you’re mad!"
"Shh... keep your voice down, you’ll scare everyone." Gong Leitian placed his index finger on his lips, signaling him to quiet down.
Zhan Jingshu clearly saw that there wasn’t a single person around.
"You’re really sothing, even here you managed to find it. No wonder you’re that woman’s top disciple..." he laughed strangely, leaning his head forward.
Zhan Jingshu suppressed the fear in his heart, analyzing, "For hundreds of years, no one discovered this place. I found it as soon as I investigated. Did you deliberately let find it?"
Although Zhan Jingshu was confident in his abilities, he didn’t think that there hadn’t been anyone smarter than him in the past few centuries to discover this place.
So, what about those who did?
"You’re really clever!" Gong Leitian praised wholeheartedly, "I did let you discover it on purpose. Why wouldn’t I, you’re that woman’s disciple? As long as it’s sothing she wants to know, I’ll tell her."
"What exactly is this Qiu Pavilion?"
"Ah, you’re talking about this place? I built it specifically for her. Hundreds of years ago, when I first saw her, I fell in love with her..."
Hundreds of years ago?! Dian Jingshu was shocked.
Was Gong Leitian, like his master, soone from centuries ago?
No, it was clear that Gong Leitian was picked up by the elder who brought him from outside the mountain gate, then slowly raised.
This person isn’t Gong Leitian?
Then who is he?
Why use Gong Leitian’s identity?
"Stop guessing, you won’t figure it out." Gong Leitian seed to know he was curious, and said with a smile, "I am indeed from the sa era as your master, but unlike your master, I didn’t have such a good cultivation talent to live so long. So, I had to guess and use certain special thods."
Evil technique! Zhan Jingshu imdiately confird.
"I know, people like you must think my ways are disgraceful, but to survive, to be with her, I’ll do anything. Hundreds of years ago, I stood guard at the foot of their Artifact Refining Peak every day, just hoping to see her and know her. But damn, she was either with her master or her senior brothers, never giving a chance to get close."
This part, Zhan Jingshu had heard of. It was said that even though Mu Qiuniang was young back then, she was very beloved because of her exceptionally cute appearance. Her master also cherished her greatly, fearing she would be bullied if she went out, so she was almost never allowed to go out alone, either accompanied by her master or senior brothers, and anyone with ill intentions was completely cleared out.
Even later, when the master went out alone for "training," her master and senior brother would secretly clear the way.
Probably, this man was one of those who were cleared out back then.
"Who decided? Just because my cultivation was low, I didn’t have the right to get close to her? I’m not willing, I worked hard in cultivation, I wanted power, I would do anything to beco stronger."
"So, you embarked on the path of an evil cultivator?"
"What’s the harm in being an evil cultivator? It’s just a different cultivation technique. As long as I have absolute strength, who can say anything?" Perhaps from being lonely for too long, Gong Leitian wasn’t worried about Zhan Jingshu escaping at all, and started pouring out the frustrations he’d held for centuries.
Back then, when he entered the Hidden Immortal Sect, he really was just an ordinary Outer Disciple with poor cultivation talent and no family background, easily bullied in the Hidden Immortal Sect.
But one day, when he was squatting by the river, covered in dirt and crying, a Mu Qiuniang dressed like a fairy appeared, handed him a handkerchief, and told him not to cry, no matter what difficulties he encountered, as long as he worked hard to move forward, one day he would achieve his dreams.
At that mont, he etched the young Mu Qiuniang into his heart.
Unfortunately, he was only an Outer Disciple, while Mu Qiuniang was the direct disciple of the Artifact Refining Peak Master, and adored by many senior brothers. They couldn’t spoil her enough themselves, so how could they allow an outsider with no background or cultivation talent to get close to her?
Consequently, he was excluded.
Whenever he wanted to get close to her, soone would always take him away, making it impossible for him to approach. So even mocked him, saying he was a toad lusting after swan at, who was Mu Qiuniang anyway? The direct disciple of the Artifact Refining Peak Master, any young master of any peak would have to think twice, who would dare make a move on her?
