After witnessing Xia Muge kill several Venerable-level demonic cultivators, Zhang Haoran's heart was still unsettled.
He knew that Xia Muge was no longer someone who could be dealt with easily.
Zhang Haoran found Guo Yang, and at this point, he could almost guess that many people would fawn over Xia Muge.
But Guo Yang was the only one who didn't know how.
After all, Guo Yang didn't have much ability.
Looking at Guo Yang now, Zhang Haoran's inner turmoil subsided without him even realizing it.
He smiled and said to Guo Yang, "Don't worry, I am still the Holy Son, so whatever you want, I can give it to you."
"But the condition is that you can't betray me."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never betray you."
Guo Yang was somewhat surprised, but he still spoke loudly on the surface.
He knew very well that even if Zhang Haoran couldn't compare to Xia Muge, it would still be easy for him to crush him.
Therefore, Zhang Haoran stayed with Guo Yang for a while afterward.
Guo Yang was learning cooking skills and going to great lengths to please Zhang Haoran.
Xia Muge simply smiled faintly at this.
He had already learned through the system that Guo Yang's luck had declined again.
His luck has finally run its course.
It's fair to say that this is because Guo Yang's strength has fallen behind the plot of the novel. In the original story, Guo Yang was supposed to be a protagonist who "plays it cool," and through this "playing it cool" approach, he gained a lot of power.
Later, in the Holy Land Grand Competition, Guo Yang soared to great heights and became a well-known genius.
After he became a genius, a series of events naturally followed, propelling him to a high position.
However, Guo Yang has now obtained a system, but he has given up cultivating it because he is too lazy.
Giving up is part of his personality and also his philosophy of life.
He certainly couldn't be self-disciplined.
The lack of systematic rewards also means that he lacks strength.
In this case, Guo Yang naturally can't keep up with the plot's progression, and many plot points are irrelevant to him.
His luck will naturally decrease as well.
When Xia Muge received the system notification, he and Qin Wanning had just established their relationship.
After he returned to the Divine Will Sect, Qin Wanning hugged him.
"You're back, that's great. I thought you were going to die."
Qin Wanning knew that Xia Muge would be attacked if he went out, but she did not expect the demonic cultivators to be so ruthless as to send four Venerable-level demonic cultivators.
Spirit Venerable level cultivators are quite rare across the entire continent.
That is why he is revered as a venerable one.
Qin Wanning's hug made Xia Muge slightly embarrassed.
He paused for a moment, then said, "If you're like this, you shouldn't get so close, otherwise you'll easily become a target."
"I'm not afraid of being targeted."
Qin Wanning suddenly mustered her courage and said to Xia Muge, "After you left, I suddenly felt that nothing meant anything. I realized that I like you."
Would you give me a chance?
She genuinely believed that Xia Muge was not coming back, even though Xia Muge had previously made such a solemn promise.
Xia Muge nodded: "Okay."
This wasn't his first relationship, and he wasn't opposed to dating.
"But it would be dangerous for me to follow you."
Qin Wanning wept with joy: "With you by my side, what danger do I have to fear?"
The girl has made her feelings clear.
Upon hearing this, Xia Muge also hugged Qin Wanning.
The news of the two being together spread throughout the entire inner sect in no time.
Many inner disciples said that this was only natural.
After all, Xia Muge and Qin Wanning are often together; it would be unreasonable if they didn't have a romantic relationship.
Even so, they still envied Qin Wanning somewhat.
Everyone knows that Xia Muge is so powerful now that even if he is not yet a Holy Son, it seems to be only a matter of time before he dies young.
At this time, the benefits that Qin Wanning would gain from becoming Xia Muge's partner are self-evident.
The news of their relationship naturally reached Goddess Peak.
Xiao Shuyan couldn't help but scoff at this: "With such talent, you should be cultivating diligently. Getting caught up in love and romance is really pathetic."
Despite this, Xiao Shuyan was actually somewhat unwilling.
The Daoist partner she desires must at least be someone with greater talent than her.
Xia Muge met the requirements, but Qin Wanning beat him to it.
In this situation, she naturally couldn't bring herself to lower herself to please Xia Muge and become a third party in their relationship.
In that case, she can only pretend not to care.
However, she inexplicably felt a growing dislike for Qin Wanning.
Such news naturally reached the ears of Zhang Haoran and Guo Yang.
...
While the inner disciples were discussing Xia Muge, they seemed to have forgotten that he was not the true Holy Son of the Divine Will Sect.
This true saint experienced what it felt like to fall from grace.
When he was still the Holy Son, many people protected him.
But now, those people admire Xia Muge even more.
He didn't want to see those annoying looks, so he simply started coming to Guo Yang's place more often.
At least, Guo Yang is comfortable here.
To be precise, some emotion within him was being stirred up because of Guo Yang.
At this moment, the way the Holy Son looked into Guo Yang's eyes was already somewhat strange.
He had been venting his pent-up frustrations on Guo Yang.
