Chapter 10 The Son's Father is the Demon Lord (10)
Qin Junche changed into a white robe.
Her long, jet-black hair was tied up with a small, equally jet-black sandalwood crown; her eyebrows were sharp and her nose straight; her eyes were like obsidian; and her lips were like carved stone.
Even in the cultivation world where beauties abound, she can be described as having a stunningly beautiful face.
Ning Wan was originally considered a top-tier figure in Danxin Pavilion, with her appearance and martial arts skills being top-notch.
Now that the Palace Master of Feiyun Palace is standing next to him, everyone immediately and subconsciously feels—
Ningwan lost!
They lost terribly!
Qin Junche had already walked up to Gu Tang's side.
No one knows how far Qin Junche's cultivation has progressed, but there has always been a legend in the cultivation world that the Palace Master of Feiyun Palace will soon be able to break through the void and ascend to immortality.
If it weren't for him, and his Flying Cloud Palace, their actions would sometimes be incredibly wicked.
Qin Junche has probably already firmly established himself as the number one person in the cultivation world.
Instead of now, where people always secretly call him "Demon Lord" behind his back.
No matter how powerful Ning Wan is, she is only the eldest disciple of Danxin Pavilion.
It's not unfair that I lost to him.
But……
The outer disciples looked at Palace Master Feiyun, who had already walked up to Gu Tang.
Why did Gu Tang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a faint smile, not feel suppressed by Qin Junche?
Shouldn't he have lost even more miserably?!
"Are you satisfied with my conditions?" Qin Junche asked indifferently.
Ning Wan's eyes were practically spitting fire.
He glared angrily at Qin Junche. Had Qin Junche just slapped him in the face?
I told him that 55% was already a very generous offer, but he actually gave me 100%.
What is he doing...?
Ning Wan subconsciously took a step toward Qin Junche.
Elder Zhu reached out and stopped Ning Wan.
He slowly shook his head at him.
He was also unsure of the true strength of this Flying Cloud Palace Master, because all those who had fought with him had already died!
He was an elder of Danxin Pavilion and was unwilling to watch the sect's most promising disciple die at Qin Junche's hands.
Gu Tang looked at Qin Junche with suspicion.
This guy just coldly rejected me, but now he's suddenly turned around.
Is there a conspiracy?
Was it really just to repay the debt of saving his life?
Or, for Noel?
Gu Tang took a step back without making a sound, blocking the door of the simple wooden house.
Gu Nuo is currently cultivating inside. If Qin Junche uses force, he is indeed no match for him right now.
“The Palace Master of Feiyun Palace’s conditions are certainly very good.” Gu Tang cupped his hands in greeting. “May I ask why?”
“I am not an ungrateful person, and I should repay your life-saving grace.”
"Oh..." Gu Tang responded thoughtfully.
The original owner had missing memories of this part, and he didn't know how he saved the Flying Cloud Palace Master.
He has no recollection of how he came to have Nora.
But none of that matters!
Gu Tang smiled and said, "Of course I couldn't ask for more."
To be honest, he wasn't very interested in these low-grade herbs.
However, since he needs to raise a son and nurture Gu Nuo's foundation, and he is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, these low-level herbs are a better choice at present.
Ning Wan: "..."
Elder Zhu: "..."
Was Danxin Pavilion so easily abandoned?
“However…” Gu Tang changed the subject, his gaze falling on Elder Zhu, “After all, it was I who took the initiative to propose cooperation with Danxin Pavilion, so it doesn’t seem right to turn our backs on them like this.”
Elder Zhu sighed softly, "Four-six it is then."
He had approved of the proposed division method between Danxin Pavilion and Gu Tang.
"Thank you, Elder Zhu." Gu Tang also cupped his hands in thanks.
He wasn't sure if Qin Junche had any ulterior motives.
The other party has the nickname "Demon Lord," so he has to be careful.
Danxin Pavilion can be considered a backup plan he left behind.
Having finalized two deals in one go, Gu Tang was in a good mood.
What pleased him even more was Gu Nuo's extraordinary talent in cultivation.
During this period, no matter what Gu Tang taught him, Gu Nuo understood it immediately.
In just one month, Gu Nuo's health has improved significantly.
He was already six years old, and previously looked thin and weak, like a four or five-year-old child.
Now that Gu Nuo has gained a little weight and her little face has become rosy, she's even more adorable!
"Father." Perhaps because he had suffered hardships since childhood, Gu Nuo was particularly sensible and resilient when seizing opportunities.
That day, following Gu Tang's instructions, Gu Nuo returned from his cultivation at the cold pool behind Danxin Pavilion. As soon as he entered the wooden house, he threw himself into Gu Tang's arms, holding him tightly with both hands, and unusually remained silent.
"What's wrong, Nuo'er?" Gu Tang rubbed his little head.
After spending a month together, he grew to like Gu Nuo more and more, and some of his habitual little gestures became more and more natural.
In the beginning, Gu Tang had no choice but to bring Gu Nuo with him in order to complete his mission and accumulate merit.
He now genuinely loves Gu Nuo and has even developed some fatherly affection for this suddenly appearing son.
Gu Tang thought that even in the past, in his world, if he had met a child as intelligent and well-behaved as Gu Nuo, he would have been willing to take him as his apprentice.
This was a very novel experience for him.
"Daddy..." Gu Nuo rubbed her little head against his chest.
After a while, he looked up at Gu Tang. His face, which had gained some weight, was rosy and as cute as an apple.
"Father..." Gu Nuo blinked her big eyes and called out softly to Gu Tang again.
"Hmm? What's wrong with Nuo'er?" Gu Tang rarely saw his sensible son show such a shy and awkward side.
"It's just..." Gu Nuo pursed her lips, "That Palace Master Feiyun, has Father seen him recently?"
Chapter 11 The Son's Father is the Demon Lord (11)
"Father..." Gu Nuo hesitated for a long time, her little face turning red: "Some friends said I was lying, that the Great Demon Lord Feiyun Palace Master couldn't possibly be my other father, that it was just wishful thinking on my part with Father."
By the end, Gu Nuo's voice had become very aggrieved.
He couldn't understand why others would say that he and his father were delusional, when the Palace Master of Feiyun Palace had clearly hugged him and called him Nuo'er affectionately.
His father is very powerful now; even Elder Zhu from the sect has to ask him for help.
Moreover, his father praised him, saying that he had a great talent for cultivation.
In just one month, they not only caught up with the gap left by their peers over the years, but also surpassed them.
Daddy said that he is now unbeatable among his peers and can beat up anyone he doesn't like!
He got into a fight today!
But those people are bad.
One person was knocked down by him, and a group of people rushed up, seven or eight of them attacking him.
Gu Tang's eyes flickered slightly as they fell on the few small bruises that had recently appeared on Gu Nuo's chin.
The inner disciples all knew that Gu Nuo was Qin Junche's son.
In addition, some outer disciples also heard it.
However, Danxin Pavilion is still one of the major sects in the cultivation world, with a large number of disciples.
The fact that Gu Tang, the former top disciple of the inner sect, had a son while still a man was already a scandal within the sect.
So even though those people knew that Gu Nuo was the son of the Palace Master of Feiyun Palace, it did not change their opinion of Gu Tang.
Some people even looked down on Gu Tang.
Some of them said he was shameless for climbing into the bed of the Flying Cloud Palace Master.
Some people think he has given up on himself.
Some people started to connect his greatly diminished power with the birth of Gu Nuo, feeling that he gave up a promising future to become someone else's illicit lover, and that he deserved to end up like this!
