Chapter 0.45 Enlightenment
Regardless of how fascinated Qin Gou was by the true appearance of the Reverse Halberds clan, it was impossible for him to remain in the Main Vein of the Reverse Halberds forever.
Most of the time, the various affairs of the clan could not be handled in person with great detail, so it was still necessary to select a regent to assist him.
When Qin Gou directly sought the opinions of the clan members, some looked towards Gong Wumeng, while others chose Gong Yu. The number of people who chose Gong Yu was clearly more than those who chose Gong Wumeng.
However, this was not primarily due to Gong Wumeng’s age or cultivation. It was mainly because Gong Wumeng, like Qin Gou, was almost always venturing out into the outside world.
Thus, Gong Yu’s appointment as regent was smoothly settled. Afterward, Huan Baiyao, Gong Wumeng, Zhu Yuping, and Ao Banwei, the four Little Saint Monarchs, discussed their joint efforts with Qin Gou.
These four decided to form a temporary alliance and jointly search for the whereabouts of the other Little Saint Monarchs, hoping to gather them all as soon as possible to perfectly complete the final contest… Qin Gou was very suitable as the supervisor and referee.
Qin Gou also agreed with this. The Little White Dragon had now become increasingly proficient and exquisite in cultivating the “Nether Moon” that he had given her. He was not worried that the Little White Dragon would suffer losses at the hands of other Little Saint Monarchs along the way. However, he still repeatedly cautioned her to contact him immediately through the imprint of the dream soul spirit tool if she encountered any troublesome individuals who deliberately caused trouble.
“How can I only think of my Master when I encounter trouble? Master, if you don’t mind, Banwei would also like to share anything interesting she encounters on her journey with you at any time.” Although it was only a brief separation, the Little White Dragon’s pair of golden eyes were still filled with deep reluctance.
“Alright,” Qin Gou said with a warm smile.
“The Monster Dragon and his Master have a really good relationship. The great ferocious beast has become a little kitten, which is quite astonishing,” Zhu Yuping remarked casually.
Immediately after, Huan Baiyao also smiled and said, “Baiyao might do the same thing as Banwei, so the person Brother Qin meets in his dreams should include Baiyao!”
“Of course.”
“If you two are like this… I’ll join too,” Gong Wumeng said, spreading her small hands. “As long as Brother Qin doesn’t mind the noise.”
“It’s a deal.”
Suddenly, the lonely Zhu Yuping looked dumbfounded. “What happened?!”
…
“Brother Qin is leaving already? Won’t you stay a few more days?”
“Because after this matter is resolved, I have to go elsewhere for another appointment.”
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu lightly nodded her head and did not try to persuade him further. Instead, she changed the topic. “Brother Qin, I’ve been thinking… do you think it’s really possible for the Reverse Halberds to reach the height of the former Eternal Night Marquis ancestors, or even surpass them?”
Qin Gou knew that Gong Yu asked this because he had previously rebuked ‘Gong Kang’ for taking the wrong path.
“I only know that nowadays, the talent of various races comes from the blessings and heritage of their ancestors. And in the beginning, there was no inherently powerful Eternal Night Marquis clan.”
Qin Gou mused, “Besides Qingyu’s example, I also know another Fellow Daoist. Let’s not even talk about talent or ability not being strong enough. She was even classified as someone not worth cultivating from a young age and was expelled from her sect. But now, she is already a very famous master in the Cultivation World… Of course, there’s you too, Fellow Daoist Gong. Haven’t you realized that at your age, your cultivation has already approached, and even surpassed, Gong Kang, whose Eternal Night Marquis bloodline is clearly more potent?”
“I understand,” Gong Yu said with a beautiful smile. “Now, my biggest goal, although it’s not to become a renowned mighty figure in the world, is not easy either. I have to work harder. That is, I hope that one day, I can also greatly assist Brother Qin once!”
Qin Gou smiled and nodded. “A promise? However, I wish I hadn’t asked Fellow Daoist Gong to help manage clan affairs earlier. This might take up some of your cultivation time?”
Gong Yu blinked her beautiful eyes and teased, “So, Brother Qin also knows that this is finding me a very busy task?”
Qin Gou was stunned for a moment. “So many people supported Fellow Daoist Gong at that time, and you didn’t object, so I…”
“But I never thought about being a regent. I actually have my eye on another identity now.”
“Another identity? May I know what position in the clan Fellow Daoist Gong wishes to hold?”
“I can’t say it. Brother Qin knows how shy I am. I might blush and faint.”
“En?”
Gong Yu lightly bit her silver teeth and asked, “Brother Qin, when you go, when will you be able to return to our Main Vein of the Reverse Halberds? Will it be long?”
“This, I can’t really say for sure at the moment.”
“That’s good… my lifespan is exceptionally, exceptionally long.”
“Ah?”
Gong Yu’s delicate face suddenly became shy, and her voice was soft and faint. “I just want to understand Brother Qin more and more, and I hope Brother Qin can also understand me!”
After speaking, Gong Yu quickly turned around, her shoulders trembling slightly. “No, I have to go.”
“Where?”
“Fainting in my own cave is the ultimate dignity!” Gong Yu said solemnly.
“I’ll escort you.”
“No need… By the way, Brother Qin, if you don’t have any news for more than a year, I might contact you via message.”
Qin Gou couldn’t help but scratch his head. “I just can’t give a definite answer, but if things go smoothly, it will be at most one or two months.”
“Help!”
Gong Yu’s steps froze instantly, and she suddenly covered her flushed little face, stamping her small foot in shy anger.
“I’ve said everything so foolishly!”
…
“Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully appeasing the Little Saint Monarch ‘Gong Wumeng’. You have been rewarded with thirty thousand Merit points, and the Profound Technique ‘Sacred Dragon Manual’ has advanced to the ninth level.”
After Qin Gou, Li Yuanzhen, and the two Qingqings had entered the Abyss, the system’s prompt sounded.
Qin Gou immediately felt his entire Spirit Blood boiling. It was clear that after the “Sacred Dragon Manual” reached a higher level, he could also convert more and purer True Dragon bloodline.
At the same time, the two Qingqings held hands, and a flash of radiance appeared, revealing Jing Liyu’s figure.
“The Abyss! It’s been a long time since I’ve been here.”
As she spoke, Jing Liyu quickly came to Qin Gou’s side and asked with a smile, “Does Eldest Senior Brother have time right now? Just an hour! Liyu wants to look for the treasures she hid before!”
“Oh? What treasures? Tell me about them?” Qin Gou asked curiously.
Jing Liyu said somewhat sheepishly, “Uh, Liyu was boasting a bit. In fact, most of the truly powerful ones are Master’s treasures. I only refined a very small amount myself.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Gou immediately shook his head and smiled. “Silly girl, don’t get so excited. Speak seriously.”
“Excited? That’s right, most of them truly belong to Master…”
Jing Liyu was confused for a moment, then suddenly saw Li Yuanzhen beside her, with a beautiful smile, reaching out her small hand to lightly caress her Imperial Weapon sword, originally named ‘Myriad Transformations’ and now named ‘True Feelings.’ It was then that she had a sudden realization and received great enlightenment!
“They are all Eldest Senior Brother’s treasures!”
