Gu Qingze nodded gently, his eyes filled with emotion: "Actually... when I first met you, I thought you were a little difficult to approach, and gave people a strong sense of oppression. I really didn't expect..."
Hearing this, Feng Ying said, "That's just a special effect I set up. It can be bought for 300 points. It's mainly used to increase the level of prestige."
"But you now owe me points for a thousand years, so you definitely won't be able to afford this special effect within a thousand years."
Gu Qingze complained silently in his heart: Actually, I don’t really want to buy this special effect...
Feng Ying seemed to see through his thoughts and continued, "At first, I also thought this thing was useless, but it can add to the prestige."
"As long as you add special effects, others will subconsciously think you are very powerful and intimidate them. This way, you don't have to explain too much in many cases, which reduces a lot of explanation costs and makes things much more convenient."
He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and patted Gu Qingze on the shoulder: "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. If there is anything else in the future, we can contact each other through the system. I have added you as a friend in the contact list."
"Okay." Gu Qingze had just finished speaking when he saw Feng Ying's figure gradually disappearing, along with the Tianji Pavilion. He felt that he was teleported to a small town by a force.
He shook his head helplessly. Since the feeling that had guided him before had disappeared, he decided to return to Qingyun Sect first.
I believe that after completing the key plot, Ling Xiao will come to Qingyun Sect to find him.
.........
Qingyun Sect, Hidden Sword Peak——
After Gu Qingze came back, he found that Cangjian Peak was still deserted. No matter how the outside world changed, or how the Qingyun Sect changed, Cangjian Peak remained the same, as if the five hundred years in between had not existed.
He looked around, but Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan were still nowhere to be seen. He thought they were probably still traveling outside, enjoying their journey of cultivation.
And as usual, Master was not at Cangjian Peak. Her whereabouts were mysterious and no one knew where she was busy with her own affairs.
Gu Qingze felt a surge of emotion in his heart, and when he was about to turn around and go back to his room, he noticed that the small ball floating beside him was trembling slightly.
He stretched out his finger curiously and gently poked the small ball.
In an instant, the small sphere turned into a light screen, displaying the communication interface.
"It's a message Feng Ying sent me." Gu Qingze noticed the flashing red dot above the contact and clicked on it.
[I forgot to remind you, Chu Lingxiao will need your participation when he reaches the penultimate key plot point. Please be prepared at any time.]
Seeing this message, Gu Qingze couldn't help but feel a little worried. He hesitated for a moment and sent a message asking:
[When I go through that plot, will it cause harm to Ling Xiao? ]
Within a few seconds, Feng Ying replied:
"What are you thinking? That crucial plot point is in the middle to late stages. Although you're nominally the villain, in the story, you only abuse the protagonist in the early stages. Later on, you're the one who suffers, and the protagonist abuses you."
Gu Qingze felt relieved, as long as he didn't let him cause any harm to Ling Xiao.
However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Feng Ying sent another message:
"I'm asking you to be prepared because this scene is mandatory, and Chu Lingxiao will stab you during it. Try to stand still and overcome the pain. Don't hide; just let him stab you."
After seeing this message, Gu Qingze couldn't help but start to worry again.
He certainly wasn't worried about getting hurt himself. He'd suffered all sorts of injuries over the years and had developed a considerable tolerance for pain. He was worried that Ling Xiao might not have the heart to do it.
[I've already sent you the specific details, just think of it as acting out a script.]
Feng Ying sent him a file package. After receiving it, Gu Qingze glanced through it and prepared to study it carefully later.
[One more reminder: during this process, just follow the plot and avoid any secret communication. This is an important plot point, and the Heavenly Dao is observing at all times.]
[Understood.] Gu Qingze replied.
Feng Ying did not reply to the message. After noticing that Gu Qingze did not perform any further operations, the light screen automatically returned to its original state and turned into a small transparent ball again.
