(Fast-paced story, exciting from start to finish, no need to overthink.) Gu Changqing, a nominal disciple of the Qingyun Sect, wakes up and realizes he has been reborn. With only three months left ...
"Oh, so that's what it was about. I heard about it too, and I was quite angry at the time. The disciples of the Hun Tian Sect are too arrogant. They really need to be taught a lesson," Jiang Qingcheng said indignantly.
"Don't worry about that. I've already taught them a lesson they won't dare to disobey. Not a single one of them dared to say a word against it. They've now submitted to our Qingyun Sect," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"Wow, husband, you're amazing!" Jiang Qingcheng said with a smile, quite playfully.
"Look at what you're saying. When have I, your husband, ever not been amazing?" Gu Changqing said with a mischievous grin, as if he was implying something, something only the two of them could understand.
"You're so annoying..." Jiang Qingcheng said coquettishly.
The two then joked and laughed all the way back to their lodgings.
The two of them, having not seen each other for a few days, felt as if three autumns had passed, and became affectionate and lovey-dovey again.
These past few days, Gu Changqing has had some rare free time, and he has hardly gone out at all, spending almost all his time at Jiang Qingcheng's residence, living a very carefree life.
"Husband, the sect has been quite lively these past few days, especially Elder Liu, who has been busy preparing a celebration banquet for you. You should thank him properly; it's been a long time since you've received such an honor. It seems Elder Liu treats you very well," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile.
"Elder Liu is good to me, but I have also helped him a lot. It is only natural that he treats me well. I will inevitably have to help him in the future." Gu Changqing sat in the courtyard, lazily basking in the sun, and said calmly.
“My husband is right. What you are doing is called helping each other and benefiting each other.” Jiang Qingcheng nodded and said with a look of agreement.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a young male voice said, "Excuse me, Senior Gu, is Chief Gu here?"
"Who is it? Come in." Gu Changqing was too lazy to move, so he shouted loudly towards the door.
The man carefully opened the door, approached, and said to Gu Changqing with great respect, "Chief Gu, Elder Liu asked me to convey that the celebration banquet has been arranged and specially sent me to invite Chief Gu to the banquet."
"I didn't expect Elder Liu to be so quick. Alright, I understand. You may leave now." Gu Changqing smiled faintly and replied casually.
"Yes," the male disciple replied and then withdrew.
"Elder Liu is really something. He only sent someone to invite my husband, but didn't he invite me along the way? Don't I have any dignity?" After the male disciple left, Jiang Qingcheng pouted and said, pretending to be angry.
"We are husband and wife, one in essence, without distinction between you and me. Asking me to be your husband is the same as asking you to be your husband, there's no difference," Gu Changqing comforted him with a smile.
"I'm not angry, I'm just marveling at how much face my husband has, and how I can benefit from it too. Husband, should we change our clothes before going to the celebration banquet? After all, it's a banquet for you, so we should dress up a bit. Clothes make the man," Jiang Qingcheng explained calmly.
"Okay, whatever you say. Let's go change our clothes." Gu Changqing smiled and nodded.
Soon after, the two changed their clothes and immediately looked different. The woman was even more radiant and beautiful, while the man was even more handsome and dashing.
Afterwards, the two held hands and went to the banquet in high spirits.
In less than fifteen minutes, the two arrived at the banquet; it was already noon.
From afar, the banquet hall was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, creating a festive atmosphere. There were hundreds of tables at the banquet, and the large, dark area was filled with disciples of the sect, each with a happy smile on their face.
When Elder Liu saw Gu Changqing arrive, he was very excited and immediately invited Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng to the main seats.
Elder Liu then silenced the entire room, and instantly the room became completely quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Chief Gu, today is your victory celebration banquet. Please say a few words to the disciples of our sect." Elder Liu said with a faint smile.
Gu Changqing didn't stand on ceremony and addressed everyone directly: "Today is my victory celebration banquet. Thank you all for coming. Eat well, drink well, and have fun."
Afterwards, under Elder Liu's arrangement, everyone began a pleasant feast.
All the disciples of the sect enjoyed the meal immensely, especially the outer disciples. They had known that they usually ate very ordinary food, but today's banquet was far too lavish, with everything imaginable, dazzling the eyes and leaving them unable to finish it all.
Before long, the sect's disciples were full and drunk, some even falling asleep and snoring.
Gu Changqing, on the other hand, was not drunk at all and was perfectly sober.
Looking at Jiang Qingcheng again, she was already a little drunk, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked quite different.
At this moment, a group of sect disciples, having drunk a little, mustered their courage and walked up to Gu Changqing. These sect disciples were the ones who had clashed with the Hun Tian Sect back then.
"Chief Gu, first of all, let me say that we are ten disciples who fought against the Hun Tian Sect but couldn't win. Thank you so much for helping us get revenge. You are a role model and an object of worship for all the disciples in our sect. Your great achievements make us admire and envy you. We really hope to become as outstanding and powerful as you. Even if we are only one-tenth as good as you, we will be satisfied." One of the disciples said excitedly.
"Yes, you are amazing. We all admire you very much. It's just a pity that our cultivation is too low. I'm afraid we will never be able to reach even one ten-thousandth of Chief Gu's level in this lifetime," another disciple said somewhat pessimistically.
"Chief Gu, on this auspicious day, I dare to ask, but I have a favor to ask: could you also pass on your skills to us? That way, when we go out on missions, we won't have to worry about being bullied or looked down upon anymore," the disciple pleaded cautiously.
"Oh, alright, I understand. I also understand your gratitude. I've noted everything you've said. The most important thing is that you want me to pass on my skills to you, right?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." The ten disciples nodded quickly in agreement.
“Alright, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll grant your requests. However, there are too many people here, so it’s not suitable for passing on skills. It wouldn’t look good if they got hurt. Let’s find a clean and empty place.” Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said very thoughtfully.
"Okay, okay, we'll do whatever Chief Gu says, we have no objections." Upon hearing Chief Gu's agreement, their faces beamed with happiness, and they were extremely excited.
