The only legitimate master and disciple in Shenxiao Palace are Zong Zhengchi and Gu Qing.
But it does not mean that there are only these two people on the huge Shenxiao Mountain.
Gu Qing is the Palace Master's personal disciple and also an inner sect disciple.
In addition to the inner disciples, Shenxiao Palace actually has many outer disciples and servants.
They either have poor spiritual roots or are "not destined to be together".
They were just brought to Shenxiao Palace by Zong Zhengchi to teach them some external skills.
Moreover, outer disciples can only specialize in one of the five categories: talismans, elixirs, formations, instruments, and techniques.
Unlike Gu Qing, the direct disciple, who can master all five subjects.
In addition to the restrictions on practicing martial arts, outer disciples, menial servants, etc. also have to undertake tasks for the sect.
Only by completing tasks can you get points.
Only with points can you redeem the sect’s treasures.
For example, elixirs, skills, magic tools, talismans, and even the cave for cultivation, are all obtained through one's own efforts.
This is a huge difference from Gu Qing, who doesn't have to do anything and can just have it.
It is still the best and most abundant in the sect’s treasury.
Hundreds of outer disciples and servants worked hard and completed tasks desperately, but the rewards they received were only one percent of what Gu Qing, a second-generation cultivator who got something for nothing, got!
This isn't just unfair; it's simply unbearable.
The key point is that Gu Qing, this little dragon, is still arrogant because of his favor.
She is simply the little bully in the sect.
Arrogant, willful and capricious, he is the worst of all naughty kids.
What’s even worse is that behind this naughty kid is a brainless and protective parent.
The key point is that this Mr. Xiong is the number one person in the world of cultivation.
Let alone bullying an outer disciple in the sect, even if he were to go outside and beat up the second and Nth generations of the major sects, the elders and masters of those sects would have to come and apologize to the Shenxiao Palace!
With such partiality and doting, it is only natural that Gu Qing is a "bear".
However, when there are many people who are oppressed, even the humblest people will rise up in resistance.
"...Gu Qing, you are a lowly demon!"
"Do you think the Immortal Venerable really loves and pampers you? I tell you, you are just a substitute!"
"Go to the forbidden area in the back mountain and take a look. There is a secret room there. The secret room is full of portraits—"
Even if you don't know the past of Shenxiao Palace and can't see through Zong Zhengchi's inner secrets, you only need to look at those portraits to know some of the truth.
In the portrait, the woman in red is bright and beautiful. She is wearing the reddest clothes, but she has the purest fairy spirit.
She is so beautiful, bold but not gaudy.
She has not become worldly and still maintains her unique personality.
The fairy in red and Gu Qing in front of him could not be said to have nothing to do with each other, but they did have a strange resemblance.
The outer disciple who roared at Gu Qing understood everything because he accidentally entered the forbidden area and peeked at the portrait in the secret room.
What the most beloved disciple, what the most noble personal disciple, is clearly just a ridiculous and pitiful substitute.
What's more, it might even be used as a container.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are simply too many similar examples.
As long as there is a remnant soul and a suitable body, it can be "reborn"!
“…”
Gu Qing was stunned.
At first, she didn't believe the outer disciples' nonsense at all.
But, what this person said was very convincing. Although it was just speculation, it made damn sense.
Gu Qing was completely devastated, "Impossible! This is impossible!"
"Master, Master loves me the most and dotes on me the most, how could he treat me as a substitute——"
The outer disciples were probably desperate, firing on all cylinders. She sneered, "You also said that the Immortal Venerable loves you and pampers you, but he doesn't love you!"
Owners also love and pamper their pets.
But a pet is just a pet, a plaything.
Can't really stand shoulder to shoulder with the master.
Only when we love each other can we be equal and respect each other.
The relationship between them is the most beautiful love, not just pampering!
“…You’re talking nonsense!”
What doting, what love, it's all nonsense.
Master is, is——
Gu Qing couldn't even argue anymore.
Because she had a premonition, this is the truth.
However, Gu Qing did not give up. She really ran to the forbidden area in the back mountain and entered the secret room.
Then I saw a room that looked like a boudoir, filled with many women's belongings, and on the front wall hung portraits.
The portrait shows a beautiful woman in red from various angles and poses.
Although her face did not resemble Gu Qing's, for some reason, Gu Qing felt that she looked very similar to the person in the portrait!
"I, am I really just a substitute?"
"No! This is impossible! You're lying to me, you're all lying to me!"
Gu Qing collapsed. She raised her hand and threw out a bunch of explosive talismans. She wanted to destroy this disgusting place.
It seems that as long as this place does not exist, the so-called "truth" will disappear.
However, just as Gu Qing threw out the talisman, a strong wind blew.
Like a giant hand, it gently closed and held all the talismans in its palm.
"Gu Qing! Who allowed you to come here?"
Zong Zhengchi hadn't arrived yet when a harsh scolding came first.
The voice was colder than ever before, and the tone was more restrained and disgusted than ever before.
It seemed as if he was facing not the pretty disciple whom he had doted on for ten years, but his mortal enemy.
Gu Qing's eyes widened in disbelief, "Master, are you scolding me?"
How is that possible?
In the past ten years, Master would not even say anything serious to her.
