Chapter 475: Surprise
"Ding! Complete the first unknown mission, double the points, a total of 8 points rewarded."
"Ding! Received 1 blessing!"
"Ding! Gained 1,300 merit points."
Gu Qingcheng and Chi Powang cut through the void, preparing to "ascend".
After experiencing the thunder tribulation, her soul did not ascend to the upper realm, but instead returned to the system space.
So, did she fail in her ascension? Or was it the power of the system, because she had already completed the task, and it directly extracted her soul? ! Gu Qingcheng pondered secretly, with many guesses flashing in her mind.
But what she could never forget the most was the look her master gave her before he ascended to heaven.
Gu Qingcheng always felt that Chi Powang seemed to have discovered something——
For example, she is not the original owner.
She is just a soul from another world.
Chi Powang's cultivation is incredible, and the key is that he also has ancient bloodline.
His eyes that can see through illusions can see through all illusions.
Gu Qingcheng suspected that Chi Powang might have seen something as early as when he was in Yunhua Mountain.
But he didn't show it.
Even at the end of the "story", when the master and disciple were destined to separate, he just looked at himself with a deep gaze.
He knew that someone as smart and perceptive as Gu Qingcheng should be able to "read" his eyes.
And she really “got it”!
"Master has long known that I am not the original owner, and has also long known that I have been pretending all along!"
Gu Qingcheng realized this and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
She prides herself on being smart and having excellent acting skills, but in the face of absolute "strength" (ancient bloodline, darling), everything seems so insignificant.
However, Chi Powang did not point it out and continued to act with Gu Qingcheng.
"Could it be that Master knows that if he reveals the 'truth', I might suffer 'punishment'?"
Gu Qingcheng's soul was suspended in the system space. She ignored the evil water rolling around her feet, but was thinking to herself.
Before they parted, Chi Powang's eyes really touched her deeply.
In the small world, Chi Powang's protection and preference for Gu Qingcheng also made Gu Qingcheng feel novel and touched.
No one had ever treated her like this except her blood relatives.
Even though Gu Qingcheng had lived two lifetimes, even though she had a strong mind and was calm to the point of being cold-hearted, she couldn't help but be moved.
This is probably the real Master.
Not only taught her the skills, but also taught her how to behave in society.
Gu Qingcheng might still be a person who will do anything to achieve his goals, and his character is so low that even his mentally retarded assistant despises him.
But, there was a softer feeling in her heart.
So much so that she made a decision that shocked even the evildoers:
"Out of 8 points, 5 points go to appearance, and the remaining 3 points go to character."
The character value is always failing, which doesn’t seem very good.
You don’t need to add too much, 60 points is fine! “Huh?”
Huoshui was dumbfounded and didn't react for a moment, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to repeat herself.
When she spoke about the distribution of task points, the previous task was completely completed.
All memories and emotions related to the previous world were taken away.
Chi Powang was just a character in the stories she had read, not a master who made her feel a little warm!
Huoshui asked stupidly, and seeing Gu Qingcheng respond to it, it was worth recalling.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to add 3 points to your character score?"
Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes in response.
Huoshui: ...OK, got it! It hurriedly rolled over to operate, as if it was afraid that if it was slow, Gu Qingcheng would change her mind.
"Hehe! Her Majesty the Queen finally listened to what the Lun family said!"
"Oh my, being able to make someone who is obsessed with beauty and has a failing character score change her mind and be willing to add precious points to her character score, I'm so amazing!"
By rounding it off, does it mean that I, Huoshui, can already change a real big shot like Gu Qingcheng?
Gu Qingcheng: ...You are thinking about PEACH!
Gu Qingcheng didn't care about Huoshui's random thoughts at all. She opened the system panel and the values had been updated.
Executor: Gu Qing (Gu Qingcheng)
Appearance: 82 points; IQ: 96 points; Character: 60 points; Stamina: 83 points; Grid space: Blessing (3), Storage (6); Merit: 3300 points.
Yes, her appearance has reached 82 points, she is an absolute beauty.
Of course, there is still some distance between her and being a great beauty or a top beauty, but Gu Qingcheng is confident.
Huoshui was still muttering, "You are worthy of being my Queen, hehe, you can even exceed the target for such an unknown task."
"The original owner didn't know her own wish, not only because she only had a remnant of soul left, but also because she was very conflicted."
"Your Majesty, think about it, Li Wuwang is indeed an ambitious man, but he is also sincere to the original owner."
"When he set up the formation, his original intention was simply to revive the original owner."
This sincerity alone is enough to move a woman.
Although later on, my heart was mixed with personal privacy.
It was also because of Li Wuwang's self-righteousness that the once noble and proud lady from an aristocratic family who was admired by everyone turned into an ugly, barbaric and hated zombie monster, causing the original owner to feel resentment.
Why? Why did Li Wuwang think that this kind of "resurrection" was for my own good?
I don't want it! I am the daughter of the Gu family, and I have the pride of a noble family.
The original owner would rather die than become a monster without intelligence.
Not to mention, in the original plot, the original owner was not able to "live forever", and she directly became a stepping stone for the advancement of the male and female protagonists.
Therefore, the original owner, out of hatred, used the only remaining trace of his soul to make a deal with the system.
But her hatred was mixed with her love for Li Wuwang...
There were so many contradictions and entanglements, and in the end, even she herself didn't know what her real wish was.
Gu Qingcheng made the choice for her——
Kill the ambitious and uphold justice in the world.
Even if made into a zombie, it will be the most beautiful and noble one.
She did good deeds and saved people, accumulating countless merits and also left a good name in the small world.
What Gu Qingcheng did did not bring shame to the reputation of the Wujun Gu family.
The original owner was very satisfied. Gu Qingcheng completed his first "unknown task" in excess and even received extra bonus points!
Gu Qingcheng: ...I am originally a daughter of the Gu family, so I naturally know the original owner’s entanglement and wishes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Of course, she, Gu Qingcheng, is indeed very powerful!
After listening to Huoshui's flattery, Gu Qingcheng felt in a good mood and left the system space.
After returning to this world, Gu Qingcheng habitually looked for the bronze mirror.
A beautiful face is reflected in the slightly blurry bronze mirror.
Well, a beauty with a score of 82 still has flaws, but she is already a beauty.
Curved willow-leaf eyebrows, charming phoenix eyes, small and straight nose, and petal-like cherry lips.
The skin is no longer dull, but whiter.
Of course, there is still room for improvement before it can glow white.
However, it has changed greatly from its original yellow and black skin.
And the hair is no longer sparse and yellow, but thick and black.
Gu Qingcheng admired herself in the mirror, even though she was used to being a top beauty in the mission world.
But that kind of "beauty" does not belong to me.
It was still the little beauty in the mirror that just gave her a sense of accomplishment.
She was like a piece of unpolished jade whose rough outer skin had been worn off, gradually returning to her original appearance.
"Sanniang, your husband invites you over!"
Outside the door, under the corridor, the maid Jiao Wei reported back softly.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment before she responded, "Aunt called me?"
Well, this husband is not that husband.
Gu Qingcheng's grandfather, Gu Heng, was the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
The Minister of the Secretariat is the prime minister, and the respectful title for the prime minister is "Xiang Gong".
It is estimated that the word "husband" represents the highest achievement of civil officials. Out of beautiful hopes, it has gradually evolved into a wife's title for her husband! Gu Qingcheng was impacted by the culture of later generations in the mission world. Although her memory will be erased, her "habit" will not.
For example, nouns such as husband and husband have differences in ancient and modern times, and Gu Qingcheng would also be dazed for a moment.
However, after returning to this world and making some slight adjustments, Gu Qingcheng was completely adapted.
She stood up, adjusted her skirt, and walked with a straight posture, speaking and moving calmly. She was once again the well-behaved and exemplary lady from aristocratic family.
Gu Heng sat cross-legged in the study, with a table beside him.
In his hand, he held a few pages of letter paper.
Gu Qingcheng took a quick look and saw what was in her grandfather's hand.
However, she did not rush to ask, but greeted her grandfather first, "How are you, Grandfather!"
Gu Heng: ...It’s not good for me to feel uneasy!
The old man was indeed pissed.
Of course, his anger was not directed at his precious granddaughter in front of him, but at the one who was not in front of him.
"Yeah! Get up!"
Gu Heng waved his hand and pointed to the cushion in front of him, motioning Gu Qingcheng to sit down.
Gu Qingcheng knelt down properly. She would not be rude even in front of her grandfather.
There was no way. The etiquette of the aristocratic family had long been engraved deep into her soul and had become her instinct.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng kneeling in the correct position, a hint of relief flashed in Gu Heng's eyes.
Fortunately, my granddaughter, Gu, is not all stupid and unruly.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh no, Grandpa's expression doesn't seem right.
Did something happen?
Gu Qingcheng has successfully switched to this world mode, and all her memories have been restored.
Everything is going well in Wu Castle, and Gu's territory is expanding in Lingnan.
The cooperation between Gu Qingcheng and the Li Ministry was very smooth. White sugar, brown sugar, etc. were not only sold well in the Southern Dynasty, but also spread to the Northern Dynasty.
There is also Champa rice, which has undergone four years of domestication and improvement, and has been trial-planted again and again, with each trial showing better results.
As early as this spring, Gu Heng sent people to his hometown of Jiankang and began large-scale promotion.
Gu Qingcheng was also frantically reclaiming wasteland and planting crops in Lingnan.
The granary of Gu's Wubao has long been filled to the brim...
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Gu Qingcheng's plan.
Aong's anger——
"Aunt, is there something wrong in the north?"
Gu Qingcheng's brain worked so quickly that she guessed it in just a few breaths.
Gu Heng did not hide anything and threw the letter in his hand to Gu Qingcheng, "Take a look for yourself!"
Gu Qingcheng took the letter and read it quickly. Then, a look of astonishment appeared on her face...
