Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 486 - 171: What, has he also let you down?
When Wang Mu recognized the figure at the end of the Ice Prison, he froze.
Brother Qin... The Gu Witch of the Fengyue Sect? How could she be here? Wasn’t the Immortal Mansion’s gate opened by Mo Xilan? Could it be that she entered earlier?
Back at the Fengyue Sect, he had heard Mu Hongyuan mention sending her to the Great Wilderness to sever feelings in a certain secret realm. Wang Mu’s memory wasn’t very clear. When he later returned to the Fengyue Sect, he hadn’t heard anything about where this Gu Witch had actually gone. He assumed that probably only Mu Hongyuan had authority over her, and the other Elders couldn’t interfere.
Since I’ve encountered an acquaintance, then things should be easier, Wang Mu thought.
Judging from the geography of the various places in the Immortal Mansion, before Mo Xilan opened the Immortal Mansion’s gate, this peculiar little world must have been accessed by others as well. Moreover, since Mo Xilan could open the gate, Mu Hongyuan, whose strength was similar, could very likely do the same, which wasn’t so surprising.
He just hadn’t expected to find Gu Yuqing here.
Was Mu Hongyuan the one who sent her here for severing feelings?
Reflecting on the past events on the Feeling Severing Bridge at the Fengyue Sect... Wang Mu hesitated for a moment, looking at her, and thought to himself, I wonder if she has severed them or not...
Rationally speaking, it would be better if she had. With my relationship with Mu Hongyuan, her being caught in the middle would definitely not be good.
Wang Mu thought for a moment and then decided to greet her first.
「On the other side.」
"Brother Wang, how did you come to be here?"
The Moon Wheel behind Gu Yuqing flickered faintly. As her Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Dark Moon Wheel possessed an Artifact Spirit and could understand its master’s will, fluctuating with her mood. This revealed the considerable turmoil in her heart at that moment. Had she not stepped away from the ice pillar, the Moon Wheel would probably have vibrated even more frequently.
Could it be... he came looking for me?
Gu Yuqing’s ice-sealed heart suddenly quivered.
Only in his presence had my Master mentioned that I must come here for severing feelings... Could it be... he had come here after going through immeasurable hardships? He... he... does he still hold a place for me in his heart? But would my Master allow him to come? My Master would never let him, but he still came. Moreover, he didn’t even know where this place was or how dangerous it could be, yet he still entered...
At this thought, Gu Yuqing fell silent, her mind starting to tremble slightly.
"Huh?"
"What’s the matter with you? Your mind had just calmed down from severing feelings, so why is there such a violent fluctuation now? You’ve been cultivating the Six Desires Treasure Book and have extinguished the six desires, which is a critical moment to condense your Heartless Dao. Logically, you shouldn’t be having such intense emotional surges..."
The strange voice clinging to Gu Yuqing seemed to perceive this as well and sounded quite perplexed, "Could it be that you recognize Dongfang Mu? Well, that scoundrel was surrounded by countless women a thousand years ago. It’s no surprise that having reemerged, he would also have women around him..."
"How so, has he also wronged you?"
"No." Gu Yuqing shook her head.
"What do you mean no?"
"It’s not Dongfang Mu," Gu Yuqing said.
"If it’s not Dongfang Mu, then who?" The strange voice seemed extremely surprised and immediately denied, "Impossible. No one could make it here apart from Dongfang Mu. This is the Immortal Mansion she left behind, especially this final Ice Prison area. Aside from Dongfang Mu, no one else could have reached this place even if they entered."
"You must be mistaken."
"I am not mistaken."
"Then this is interesting..." the strange voice cackled. "With her calculations, there absolutely couldn’t be the slightest error... Someone who can walk through here and yet is not Dongfang Mu must be inextricably linked to Dongfang Mu in some way."
"Wait, that emotional surge... could it be the man you’ve been pining for in your heart?"
Gu Yuqing remained silent.
"It seems so..." the strange voice sounded amused. "Look at you, the Six Desires Treasure Book can’t even suppress the emotions in your heart. Could it be that you think he has come here for you?"
"Touched?"
"No," Gu Yuqing said. "I was just thinking... with his level of cultivation, it would’ve been incredibly arduous to reach this place. Or perhaps... he made some kind of deal with my Master. Otherwise, with his power alone, he shouldn’t have been able to arrive here."
"What’s his level of cultivation?"
"It seems... he seems to have formed his Golden Core."
Wang Mu had condensed his Golden Core during that one year with Mu Hongyuan. Her impression of Wang Mu was still from the time he was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"What’s his name?"
"Why should I tell you?" Gu Yuqing said. "I only agreed to help you kill Dongfang Mu; I don’t want to discuss the rest."
"HAHAHAHA..." The strange voice suddenly burst into loud laughter. "What, are you afraid of me?"
Gu Yuqing gave a cold snort but did not reply. She had always been very wary of this mysterious and strange voice that clung to her.
"Then let me ask you, do you truly wish for severing feelings?" the strange voice suddenly asked. "If you really don’t want to, I have a way to bring you two together here."
Gu Yuqing was slightly taken aback. ?
At this moment, Wang Mu also approached.
"Brother Qin... Fellow Taoist Gu, are you alright?" Wang Mu greeted.
He had intended to call her Brother Qin. However, he felt the current Gu Yuqing, with the cold gleam of Xuanbing in her eyes and an ethereal beauty, seemed to have completed her severing feelings; her gaze toward him was no longer the same as before.
"..." Gu Yuqing did not speak.
"What, are you considering it?" the strange voice drawled. "Although I don’t know the story between you two, if he truly came here for you, it shows his sincerity."
"Your Master isn’t anything good, trying to separate two lovers. I can’t stand to watch that."
