Liu Qianqian looked at him with tender eyes and said softly, "I've already told Father about what happened last time. The sect has decided to promote you to chief of the inner sect. However, since the past few days haven't been auspicious, the higher-ups plan to wait until an auspicious day is chosen before officially informing you. But I've already brought you the appointment letter and the new identity token. How about it? Am I good to you?"
As she spoke, she took out a treasure bag from her person, took out a document and a glittering gold medal, and waved them in front of Gu Changqing.
"Good, good, good, you're so kind!" Gu Changqing didn't bother arguing with her, a young lady, and said directly.
He then took the appointment letter and saw that the paper was made of pure gold. It read: "After a meeting of this sect, Gu Changqing, an outer sect disciple, is exceptionally promoted to the inner sect chief. His monthly salary will be doubled, and he will be accompanied by a luxurious and prestigious carriage and served by young and beautiful maids!"
In addition, all disciples of the sect must abide by all of Gu Changqing's requirements from now on, and those who disobey will be severely punished!
"Holy crap, my salary has increased a hundred thousand times! Awesome!"
Gu Changqing immediately noticed the salary. A registered disciple only earns twenty low-grade spirit stones a month, but becoming the inner sect's chief disciple is a complete change. He earns a whopping two million spirit stones a month! Damn, awesome!
From now on, I can make money just by sitting still every day. How awesome!
If only I had two million RMB a month back on Earth, I could buy any sports car I wanted!
However, when it comes to sports cars, they always come in a prestigious carriage, which is a symbol of status.
And beautiful maids...
Suddenly, Gu Changqing had a flash of inspiration and looked at Liu Qianqian, asking, "Wait a minute, my current salary is 20 low-grade spirit stones a month. Now that it's doubled, it can't still be low-grade spirit stones, can it?"
"Tsk tsk, you're overthinking it. How could someone as esteemed as the chief inner sect disciple possibly have low-grade spirit stones? The sect gave you top-grade spirit stones! Top-grade ones!" Liu Qianqian gave him a disgruntled look and said helplessly.
"Haha, that's great!" Gu Changqing was overjoyed!
"How was it? Feeling good? But I have some good news for you. Although the sect hasn't officially notified you yet, your salary has already started today. On this day next month, you'll be able to collect two million top-grade spirit stones from the Internal Affairs Hall. How about it? Hurry up and thank this young lady!" Liu Qianqian smiled, her face as beautiful as a peach blossom.
"Haha, thank you so much, Miss Liu!" Gu Changqing was never a stingy person. It was just a matter of using his words to coax a woman.
Next, Liu Qianqian added, "There's something else. My aunt wants to see you."
ah?
Gu Changqing was taken aback. Aunt?
The next moment, Gu Changqing suddenly remembered that when the six major demonic sects invaded, a slender and beautiful figure did indeed soar into the sky... but he died too quickly and didn't see that many.
"Where is she, and why does she want to see me?" Gu Changqing asked, puzzled.
"Hmph, how would I know? You can just ask her yourself. But I'm curious, my aunt usually doesn't see strangers, especially men. Why is she suddenly asking to see you? You know, she's not very warm towards men at all. She's cold and keeps people at arm's length." Liu Qianqian suddenly became puzzled.
However, she didn't waste too much time and immediately led Gu Changqing out of the pavilion and headed deeper into the sect.
Soon, the two arrived at a cliff face on the back of the mountain.
The road ahead is bare; there's no path anymore.
Liu Qianqian took out a fluorescent jade pendant and gently tapped it against the mountain wall. The jade pendant immediately emitted a fluorescent light, and large swaths of clouds and mist suddenly appeared on the mountain wall in front of her. Then the mountain wall disappeared and was replaced by a pavilion by the water.
Before me lies a vast lake, teeming with lotus blossoms. In the center of the lake stands a long pavilion, its white interior exuding elegance, luxury, and extraordinary refinement.
A graceful figure sat in the pavilion, her beautiful eyes gazing at the distant horizon, a scene of poetic beauty.
"Auntie, Gu Changqing has arrived." Upon arrival, Liu Qianqian bowed and said.
The figure said calmly, "Alright, you can go now."
"Yes." Liu Qianqian shook the jade pendant in her hand, and then disappeared without a trace.
Gu Changqing looked around and found himself in what seemed like another place, which was quite magical.
He vaguely guessed that this must be a formation.
"Young Master Gu, don't be nervous. Come here, I have something to say to you." The figure spoke in a soft and gentle voice.
Without a second thought, Gu Changqing moved and flew over.
Soon, in the pavilion, he looked at the figure before him.
This is a beautiful woman in colorful clothes with skin as white as spring snow, a face as beautiful as a peach blossom, and a voluptuous figure. She is full of charm, and every smile and frown is full of mature allure.
Especially her figure, with its prominent curves, graceful curves, black hair, and snow-white skin, would make any man in the world fall for her.
Her snow-white cheeks were as clear and flawless as unpolished jade, and beneath her long eyelashes, her beautiful eyes sparkled with captivating charm.
"Oh dear, young master, I am much older than you. How can you stare at me like that without moving?" A blush rose on the beautiful woman's cheeks, making her even more charming and alluring.
"Well, there's nothing I can do. I'm not a woman. Senior, you're so beautiful, it's normal for me to lose control of my eyes for a moment," Gu Changqing readily admitted with a smile.
"You're so natural," the beautiful woman smiled, her pretty face blossoming with two dimples, like a winter plum blossom in full bloom, breathtakingly beautiful.
Gu Changqing withdrew his gaze, sat down opposite him, and said, "May I ask how you are addressed, senior? Why did you call me here? Is there something important?"
Ning Xianrou's bright eyes flickered as she voiced her doubts.
"My name is Ning Xuerou. As for why I called you here, it's nothing really, Young Master Gu, please don't be nervous. I mainly want to ask you why you passed on your skills to my niece. Could it be... that you like her?"
Logically speaking, how could anyone in the world pass on their skills to others for nothing? Yet Young Master Gu did just that, which is truly admirable.
So he must like his niece.
Gu Changqing stroked his chin and said with a gentle smile, "It's nothing. My internal energy is so full that it's almost overflowing, so I'm passing it on to her."
Upon hearing this, Ning Xuerou's admiration only grew stronger. Her eyes sparkled with charm, and her gaze towards Gu Changqing softened with increasing tenderness.
The next moment, she suddenly asked again, "This doesn't make sense. I've investigated you. Even if you pass on your skills to others, you've never passed them on for eight hundred years, or even a thousand years. But you've passed them on to my niece for so long. Such favoritism! If this isn't affection, what is it?"
"This..." Gu Changqing was speechless for a moment.
Ning Xuerou interrupted with a smile, "Alright, stop talking. I understand. I agree to you two being together."
Well?
Another freebie?
Gu Changqing's eyes widened in surprise. He never expected to find another wife on this trip, and a rich and beautiful one at that.
“Qianqian lost her mother at a young age and was raised by me. Sometimes she has a good temper, and sometimes she is quirky and mischievous. Please don’t mind her, but she is still a kind and innocent person,” Ning Xue said softly with a smile.
At this point, she suddenly changed the subject, saying, "But... you have to do me a favor."
"What kind of help?" Gu Changqing asked without hesitation.
"I won't tell you yet, come with me." Ning Xuerou didn't answer, but instead waved her sleeve, and her colorful clothes became bright and exuded an intoxicating fragrance. Gu Changqing felt the fragrance filling his nose, as if he were walking in a field of blooming wildflowers. It was so refreshing. Then he felt a flash of light before his eyes, and he was no longer at the pavilion.
And in a secret room.
"This is a secret chamber, Young Master Gu. Could you please pass on some of your cultivation to me? I've been cultivating for so long, but I'm only about on par with the sect leader. I also want to advance to the Saint Realm, so... could you pass on some to me as well? You certainly won't refuse me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing was taken aback. This was too gentle!
Wait a minute, they've got themselves figured out!
What else can we do but pass on our skills?
They've already been brought here; if they don't agree, how can they possibly get out?
