Chapter 16 Chu Yaoyue’s Anger, Not as Strong as Them

“From now on, Tuoba Siyu is willing to serve the Divine Son, and I will not hesitate to enter mountains of knives or seas of fire!”

Tuoba Siyu knelt on one knee, his expression excited. There was no hint of dejection from being easily defeated by Gu Changsheng.

In his eyes, leaving a name on the Heavenly Dao Monument and surpassing the record set by the Ascetic Emperor by four times was already an achievement beyond his reach.

The reason he wanted to ask for guidance today was purely to verify his guess: was the Divine Son of the Gu family really as strong as the rumors said?

Now, he had his answer: far stronger and more terrifying than the rumors. It was almost enough to make one tremble.

Tuoba Siyu even suspected that Gu Changsheng’s physical body was forged from Immortal Gold or Divine Iron.

After all, my halberd contained three parts of Bright Black Gold, a material capable of forging sacred weapons.

Yet, it nearly broke just now!

Could it be that beneath his slender, tall frame, Gu Changsheng hid the power of several true dragons?

Gu Changsheng slightly nodded, his expression indifferent, and said, “Rise.”

As he spoke, a pill emitting hazy purple Qi fell into Tuoba Siyu’s hand.

A rich medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air, causing one to feel refreshed and relaxed.

Those with keen eyes could tell that this pill was a sacred medicine for healing wounds, worth a fortune.

“The Divine Son is magnanimous!”

“Tuoba Ancient Clan’s disciple only got hurt because of his own actions, yet the Divine Son doesn’t mind his provocations and instead gifts him a healing pill…”

“Every word and action reveals an extraordinary self-confidence that makes people willingly submit!”

The onlookers couldn’t help but admire him in their hearts.

“Thank you for the pill, Divine Son,” Tuoba Siyu said gratefully.

He then swallowed the pill, and the injuries he had sustained earlier quickly healed.

Such a rare healing pill was something he had, but he reserved it for life-threatening situations.

He could never casually give it away like Gu Changsheng.

His resolve to follow Gu Changsheng grew even stronger in his heart.

Gu Changsheng paid no attention to the thoughts of the crowd.

The pill he gave was partly to win the people’s favor and partly because he didn’t need such things.

Afterward, Gu Changsheng’s gaze swept across all the cultivators in the Purple Bamboo Forest once more. His eyes briefly lingered on the white jade sedan chair in midair. He pondered for a moment but said nothing further.

The Heavenly Emperor’s body.

If there was a great, ancient imperial dynasty as support, there was indeed an unlimited future ahead—able to dominate the world.

However, the dragon Qi of the dynasty behind her was already close to vanishing, and the dynasty was about to fall. What difference did it make whether she was an Emperor’s body or a so-called waste body?

“Let’s go.”

He then said to Su Xiaoxuan and Tuoba Siyu, without selecting any other followers.

The crowd immediately felt disappointed but also understood that their luck wasn’t as good as Su Xiaoxuan’s, nor were their powers as great as Tuoba Siyu’s.

“Leaving?”

Inside the sedan chair, Chu Yaoyue, still in a state of shock, quickly came to her senses. The usual confidence and arrogance on her face disappeared, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

Just now, when Gu Changsheng and Tuoba Siyu briefly fought, it greatly expanded her horizons. She understood how powerful the Gu family’s Divine Son was. They weren’t even on the same level.

But she also believed she was no weaker than Tuoba Siyu.

So why did Gu Changsheng look at her but not choose her? Was she not excellent enough, or was there some other reason?

Chu Yaoyue gritted her teeth, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and said, “Please, Divine Son, wait.”

At this moment, many cultivators finally realized that the Ninth Princess was still here.

The most beautiful woman in the Jingyang Dynasty, with a strong talent and a far-reaching reputation for her beauty.

Yet, she hadn’t caught the eye of the Son of the Gu family.

Their expressions immediately turned strange—curious, mocking, doubtful, and even gloating.

Gu Changsheng paused his steps for a moment, looked back, and asked in surprise, “Is there something you need?”

Chu Yaoyue, now revealed, was indeed extremely beautiful. Her long, black hair was held by a white jade hairpin, further accentuating her delicate, flawless features.

But in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, there was still no fluctuation, as calm as water.

Chu Yaoyue clenched her teeth again and, facing the strange gazes around her, said, “Please, Divine Son, tell me why I was not chosen. I believe I am not weaker than anyone present.”

She was an extremely confident and proud person.

Now, seeing people inferior to her being chosen while she was not, the disparity was something she could hardly bear.

She desperately wanted to know the reason: why was she not chosen?

Was it because I had remained hidden in the sedan chair, showing no respect to the Divine Son?

Or was it just because Gu Changsheng wanted to humble my pride?

Women’s thoughts were always hard to guess.

Gu Changsheng didn’t know that Chu Yaoyue had already thought of many possibilities in her mind in that instant.

“You’re not better than them, so naturally, you won’t be chosen,” Gu Changsheng said indifferently, not bothering to say more.

He could tell that Chu Yaoyue wasn’t someone willing to be a follower, and she wasn’t here voluntarily.

She had her own ambitions.

“You…” Chu Yaoyue was furious. Her eyes widened, and she didn’t even use respectful terms anymore.

Su Xiaoxuan and Tuoba Siyu?

What made her inferior to them?

But soon, she realized.

This was Gu Changsheng’s domain. Anyone who disrespected him was seeking death.

She had no choice but to suppress her anger.

“Fine, if you don’t choose me, then so be it. If it weren’t for the affairs of the dynasty, who would care to be here!”

She coldly snorted in her heart.

However, Gu Changsheng didn’t seem interested in talking more. He flicked his sleeve, and with Su Xiaoxuan and Tuoba Siyu in tow, he left the Purple Bamboo Forest.

He left behind a group of cultivators exchanging looks and the trembling Chu Yaoyue.
