On the lake.
Qing Rou’s and Wan Er’s attitudes became a lot closer.
If it weren’t for the man that stood in front of them; never mind obtaining freedom, it might have been hard for them to even survive.
During the time they spent together, he had gained their respect and trust.
Wan Er couldn’t wait anymore and asked: “Young mas—– no, senior brother, did you come with the white fox to its world after we parted ways?”
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.
The white fox?
Just how many seconds did that white fox live in front of Xiao Die?
Who could actually tell what would happen even a second later in the vast 900 million World Layers?
At the time after Qing Rou and Wan Er left, the situation changed so rapidly and unexpectedly that it was impossible to tell them right here.
“I had to compete with someone, then a series of unexpected things occurred, it’s a long story”
“It’s fine, senior brother doesn’t seem to want to tell the story for now, we can slowly talk about it later on” Qing Rou spoke in consideration for him.
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but rather because that I wouldn’t be able to, for now it’s better that you tell me about what’s happening in this world first, I’ll slowly tell you about my story later” Gu Qing Shan told them.
The two girls nodded.
Gu Qing Shan then asked: “How was my impersonator dealt with in the end?”
Wan Er replied: “He was captured by Shifu——- the elder council of the alliance came here this time specifically to bring him back”
“So they still have the gall to come bring him back?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“They do, their official reason was that they sent someone here to test the newly appointed leader candidate of the alliance” Qing Rou explained.
“Specifically choosing someone to impersonate me and secretly probe Shifu’s personal matters, what a good excuse that is”
Gu Qing Shan smirked coldly, his tone already contained a bit of killing intent.
Qing Rou continued: “Shifu had already used a lot of means against that person, she found that he came from the cultivation alliance, and that he represented the alliance’s elder council”
Wan Er also added: “If she didn’t need to be wary of a few things, he would’ve already been killed”
“What did those people want to do?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Investigate everything about Bai Hua Fairy, understanding the characteristics of this world’s cultivators, collect the relevant information on our weapons, armors and even formations”
“Ah?” Gu Qing Shan chuckled without smiling and asked: “Which means, they’re trying to find a way to threaten Shifu or to find her weakness?”
“That is indeed the case, now that you mentioned it; that impersonator actually tried to do a certain thing”
“What was it?”
“He tried to bring Xiuxiu outside”
Gu Qing Shan’s heart skipped a beat.
Seems like the other party had already found out about Shifu’s weakness.
Back then, Xiuxiu was captured by Shifu’s mortal enemies, but even after receiving all sorts of torture, she still never revealed a single word about Shifu, which allowed Shifu to escape.
After reaching the realm of Saint, she finally got her revenge, only to find that Xiuxiu was barely alive during her time being captured.
Xiuxiu was Shifu’s master’s sole daughter.
And Xiuxiu saved Shifu’s life.
Which is why Shifu would definitely never allow anything to happen to Xiuxiu.
If Xiuxiu was really captured, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t even imagine what Shifu would do.
“Is Xiuxiu ok?” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.
“It was quite a coincidence but at the time, we had just returned from the Suspended world and followed your instructions to find Bai Hua sect”
“When we came into Bai Hua sect, your Shifu and first brother were both out, second brother Qin Xiao Lou saw that we were related to you, so he took the initiative to let us stay in the sect and wait until Bai Hua Fairy returned to make her decision”
“And then—–”

“Yes, we happened to be involved in the attempted kidnapping. Thinking that you couldn’t have returned so quickly, we managed to confirm that he was a fake. Since Xiuxiu was your junior sister, we decided to poke where it hurts and stopped him”
“How did you poke where it hurts?”
Qing Rou covered her mouth as she explained: “We exclaimed that he was a pervert, wanting to take your junior sister out because he was trying to do something to her”
Wan Er smiled: “Because of our previous run-in when we tempted him, his hands really got a bit grabby, so he believed that we really thought that way and gave up on trying to bring Xiuxiu out”
Qing Rou sighed: “Fortunately, in order to impersonate you well, the person’s cultivation wasn’t too high, he couldn’t actually win against us even if he tried”
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief: “It’s fortunate that I managed to dispel your shackles before you returned”
The two girls both nodded.
As Tribulation realm cultivators, it was quite easy for them to win against a Projection realm cultivator.
“And then your Shifu returned” Qing Rou continued.
“Since your Shifu already knew us, she immediately asked us about you”
“Because someone had already tried to impersonate you, we decided to let her use Soul Reading on us to find out everything and avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings”
“Your Shifu was grateful for us saving Xiuxiu as well as when we betrayed Qi Yan in the battle before, so she asked us if we were willing to stay”
“We didn’t have anywhere to go and since both you and your Shifu were decent people, we decided to stay”
Gu Qing Shan joyfully spoke: “You’re certainly welcome here and truthfully, staying at Bai Hua sect might have been the best for both of you”
“I was thinking the same thing” Qing Rou replied.
“Compared to before, every day right now feels like heaven on earth” Wan Er emotionally commented.
Qing Rou waved her hand.
The airship slowly descended to the surface of the lake.
“Senior brother, let’s go, we should return to the sect now” she said.
“Yeah, we’ll bring you back as support” Wan Er also said.
“Support?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.
He has asked more questions today than any other.
Because it had really been so long since he left this world that he had to quickly learn every usable information.
Qing Rou explained: “Shifu had only just become the leader of the alliance, so a lot of people are still unsatisfied with her and were attempting something”
“Are those people still at Bai Hua sect?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“That’s right, the elder council and Shifu are currently discussing how to deal with your impersonator and they came prepared”
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and asked: “With Shifu’s personality, if someone tried to impersonate me, she would’ve killed him, if someone tried to try something against Xiuxiu, she would’ve made them wish for death”
He then asked: “Why would she be discussing this with those people at all?”
Qing Rou answered: “We aren’t so sure, apparently Shifu had to rely on them for the matter regarding the world fusion”

“Yeah, Shifu seemed really helpless regarding that matter” Wan Er also confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
That’s true, Shifu has fused a few worlds, so she needed the cultivation alliance’s quota in order to not violate the rules of the 900 million World Layers.
According to Kitty, without having any quota, fusing two or more worlds together will result in immediate execution.
The two girls exchanged glances, then Qing Rou looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke seriously: “At a time like this, Wan Er and I both believe that you have to be here in order for us to feel secure”
“You trust me that much?” Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Wan Er also smiled sweetly: “The situation in the Suspended world was much scarier, but senior brother managed to deal with that, so as long as senior brother is here, we’re sure you’ll be able to support Shifu”
Qing Rou confirmed: “Exactly”
“Alright then, let’s go back and meet with these people then” Gu Qing Shan told them.
The two girls both replied: “”Yes, senior brother””
The airship turned into a green streak as it flew across the sky towards Bai Hua sect.
…
Bai Hua sect.
The grand audience hall.
Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling was wearing a bright green traditional dress as she sat atop her Throne of Ten Thousand Flowers.
A cultivator was shackled by several chains, kneeling in a corner of the audience hall.
His current appearance was exactly the same as Gu Qing Shan.
In the middle of the hall, 8 old men were arguing with Xie Dao Ling.
They were all elders of the cultivation alliance, people of authority who had been taking care of the alliance’s various matters for countless years.
Even the alliance’s leaders have to rely on them to accomplish a lot of specific tasks.
One of the elders spoke: “Xie Dao Ling, you are the noble leader of the alliance, do you have to be so petty with an insignificant cultivator like this?”
Xie Dao Ling coldly answered him: “He disguised himself as my disciple and looked into the secrets of my world, and you’re still telling me to forgive him?”
Another elder explained: “That is not the case, he was sent by the alliance to investigate whether or not you were related to the Demon Nation in any way. The alliance only did this to ensure that their leader is clean, I hope you can understand”
Xie Dao Ling nodded: “I understand but I’ve read his soul, there are fragments of his memories that were sealed away so that I can’t see them but I was clearly able to see that he attempted to take Xiuxiu away”
Xie Dao Ling’s voice turned cold: “Attempting to kidnap my disciple, is this also the alliance’s will?”
The elders were embarrassed and went silent.
This thoroughly ripped the veil apart, revealing their plan.
“Xie Dao Ling, we weren’t trying to influence you or anything of the sort, we just wanted to understand you better through your disciple, she would have been sent back sooner or later” one of the elders explained.
Another elder spoke: “Back then, when the Dao Lord of Tai Hao Immortal Country became the alliance’s leader, he actively sent his son to my sect to cultivate as my direct disciple, you might want to consider learning from your predecessor as well”
“That’s right that way, everyone will be united and there will be no discord among us” another elder vaguely reminded her.
“That’s right, that is indeed so”
“Very reasonable”
Xie Dao Ling shook her head: “If that was the case, I don’t need to be the leader of anything, I won’t even be part of the alliance anymore, you should all go back!”
The elders exchanged glances.
Who would know that the situation would turn to this?
Can’t this Xie Dao Ling even discuss this for a bit?
But more importantly, if Xie Dao Ling doesn’t become the alliance leader, who would?
The alliance is already crumbling apart.
If she left, her supporters will definitely turn to her side and use this as a tool to use against us.
That cannot be the case!
Definitely not!
Today, we have to persuade this woman one way or another!
An elder spoke with a serious tone: “Xie Dao Ling, you won’t be able to gloss over this so easily. We might be able to compromise with you on many things but I hope you understand something clearly—— the world fusion quotas allotted to the alliance are all held in the elder council’s hands”
Xie Dao Ling scowled.
Indeed, this was her biggest problem for now.
To become stronger, she had fused several worlds together, only finding out that doing so would cause a lot of trouble for both herself and her world later on.
Without the quota from the alliance, everything will have been for naught.
After a while.
Xie Dao Ling asked: “Then, what about this one who impersonated my disciple?”
“You have to give him back to us, because he’s someone on our side, he can’t die here” the elder left no room for negotiation.
When Xie Dao Ling wanted to say something else, her expression changed.
The 8 elders also stopped.
They all turned to look at the entrance of the audience hall.
A young sword cultivator stood there, curiously looking inside.
Gu Qing Shan!
The real Gu Qing Shan!
At this crucial point in time, the last disciple of Bai Hua sect had returned to this world!
“Have you met your two junior sisters?” Bai Hua Fairy smiled and asked.
“I did” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Do you have any objections to my decisions?”
“They are pitiable girls, but both their talents and their minds are top-notch, I have no objection to them joining our sect” Gu Qing Shan answered her.
He slowly walked into the hall and respectfully bowed to Bai Hua Fairy.
“Shifu, I’ve returned”
“Hm, you can go rest, I still have something to discuss here, we can talk more later tonight”
“The matter Shifu wanted to discuss was regarding that spy?”
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the corner of the hall.
His impersonator was still tightly bound on the spot, unable to move even a finger.
Hearing that, Bai Hua Fairy recalled how this disciple of hers always had a few of his own ideas, so she decided to follow up and asked: “That is indeed the case, Qing Shan, how do you think we should deal with this?”
“I personally feel that this isn’t a big deal at all, there is no need to think too much about this” Gu Qing Shan answered.
He continued: “They only wanted to know more about Shifu so that they can get along with Shifu better, this is a good thing——— wouldn’t you say so?”
Half-way through, he turned to ask the 8 elders.
The elders were surprised, but quickly nodded and praised him: “That is indeed true”
“Very true”
“That was our intention from the start”
“Gu Qing Shan, you really should advise your master to do the right thing”
Gu Qing Shan nodded to the elders, gesturing that he understood.
He continued to advise Bai Hua Fairy: “Truthfully, when staying in an organization, only when everyone’s benefit are unified can they get along well with each other and accomplish a common goal:”
“I trust that everyone’s actions started from goodwill, so there’s no need for you to make this such a big deal, Shifu”
“Ah? Do you really think so?” Xie Dao Ling asked.
“I do, Shifu, everyone being able to cooperate and get along in the future is always the best, wouldn’t you say so?” Gu Qing Shan replied.
After saying that, he slowly walked towards the impersonator.
“Shifu, there is no need for you to tie this cultivator up so tightly, if they feel grudgeful or mistreated, words might come out that our Bai Hua sect doesn’t know how to treat our guests”
He was talking as he walked closer.
Bai Hua Fairy was stunned.
The elders were loudly praising him.
“Xie Dao Ling, you got a very good disciple”
“Someone who understands the subtleties, a splendid young man”
“Such a person is truly someone who can support a sect”
Still stunned, Xie Dao Ling said nothing and only stared at Gu Qing Shan.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already stood in front of the impersonator.
He looked at him with an apologetic smile: “Being bound by all these chains must feel very uncomfortable, right? I apologize to you on behalf of Shifu, truthfully, our Bai Hua sect shouldn’t have treated you like this”
Seeing how easy he was to talk to, the man sighed in relief and smiled: “I’m sorry if I offended you, I really needed to borrow your identity in order to get to know the alliance’s new leader better”
“It’s fine, it’s fine, everyone has their job to do”
Gu Qing Shan patted him on the shoulder, apparently not minding it at all.
“Thank you for being so forgiving, you truly are a broadminded person, I truly respect you” the man told him.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan looked somewhat embarrassed.
“You praise me too much. You really shouldn’t have, after all——-”
Sha!
A sharp gleam of the sword suddenly came.
The man’s head was lopped off with a single slash, flew towards the middle of the audience hall and rolled towards the elders’ feet.
Blood came out from the headless corpse as it remained straight up for a few moments before finally collapsing.
Clang clang!
The chains that were binding the corpse gave off clear chiming sounds as they hit the cold, solid ground.
“——-after all, you’re already dead. Our Bai Hua sect have always been broadminded, we wouldn’t be petty against a dead man”
Gu Qing Shan lowered his sword and whole-heartedly spoke.
