I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243: Chapter 472: Saintess Gu: Disciplining Master, I’m a Professional! _2

"No wonder the master is so attentive to them and personally teaches the ’Green Jade Scripture.’ She must have seen their extraordinary talents early on and wanted to use this to strengthen the sect’s power..."

"But what should we do about the Lord?"

Gu Manzhi felt a headache thinking about this matter.

Ji Lianxing was determined to revive the sect with unwavering resolve, while Chen Mo was the Imperial Consort’s person. The two sides had completely different positions. Although their relationship seemed harmonious now, it was just the calm before the storm.

If the Moon Brilliance Sect truly grew, and the news reached the Imperial Consort’s ears, conflict would erupt immediately!

By then, not only would Chen Mo be caught in the middle, but she and Shuishui wouldn’t know how to position themselves. Even if they left the sect, with the Empress’s temperament, she wouldn’t tolerate them being together!

"To completely resolve this matter, we must start from the master."

"Only by having her let go of her obsession and accept reality can everyone be at peace..."

In fact, Gu Manzhi had always had mixed feelings about the matter of ’revenge.’

In terms of strength, Ji Lianxing was indeed one of the strongest, but when it came to managing the sect, she was not praiseworthy.

Back then, the previous Sect Leader, before passing away, held Ji Lianxing’s hand and said his greatest regret was not making the Moon Brilliance Sect the foremost in the Daoist arts.

Ji Lianxing also inherited her master’s dying wish. To enhance the sect’s overall strength, she began to recruit talents extensively. As long as their realm was high enough, regardless of their background or status, even if they were from a bandit background, they were accepted into the sect.

With the ’Azure Darkness Seal,’ the Sect Treasure, capable of continuously deducing magic techniques, it quickly attracted a large number of strong individuals to join.

The Moon Brilliance Sect thereby became one of the top ten sects and the largest sect in Qing Province, its fame echoing throughout Jiu Zhou.

But the cost of rapid expansion soon became apparent—

The sect’s internal system became bloated, a mix of good and bad, with massive management loopholes.

Various small groups formed factions, both overtly and covertly fighting, and malicious incidents frequently occurred. Some even used the sect’s name to amass wealth unscrupulously, causing the local populace to grumble, and the reputation to plummet.

Gu Manzhi, possessing the Extreme Yin Body, often faced covetousness from fellow members. She relied on her identity as the Holy Daughter to remain safe.

She was filled with respect and admiration for Ji Lianxing but felt no sense of belonging to the Moon Brilliance Sect. The only reason she stayed in the Imperial Music Bureau for many years was to repay her master’s kindness for nurturing and teaching her.

If she hadn’t met Chen Mo, she might have continued to cooperate.

But now, she had someone she liked and wanted to live a life of her own!

"With the master’s temperament, no matter how much persuasion might be useless unless, like me, she can no longer be apart from the Lord... But to make her submit, how difficult it is, unless we can get a First-Grade Creation Gold Contract..."

While Gu Manzhi was pondering secretly, suddenly, the space in front of her twisted, and several figures appeared out of thin air.

"Who?!"

She was shocked, thinking it was an enemy coming to settle scores.

Just as she was about to act, she froze when she recognized the people in front of her.

"Lord?"

"Master?!"

She saw Chen Mo standing before her, holding two people.

The black-haired girl was You Ji, and the other disheveled woman... was Ji Lianxing!

The two seemed like sculptures, motionless, blinking hard, and mumbling indistinctly.

"Master!"

Yu’er, hearing the commotion, looked up with a joyful expression.

She immediately got up and rushed towards Chen Mo, wrapping her arms around his neck, her legs around his waist, snuggling against his cheek, and said infatuatedly, "Master, weren’t you going to the Southern Border? When did you return? It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, Yu’er really missed you..."

"Mr. Chen."

"I greet Mr. Chen."

Liu Miaozhi and the others reacted, hurriedly standing up to pay respects.

"At ease, everyone."

Chen Mo nodded slightly, then gave Gu Manzhi a look.

Gu Manzhi understood, cleared her throat, and said, "Continue your cultivation, everyone. Lord, let’s talk inside the room."

"Alright."

Chen Mo, holding one in each hand with another hanging on him, walked with her towards the inner bedroom.

It wasn’t until the figure disappeared that everyone straightened up, looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

"The woman Mr. Chen brought with him seems like Master Ji?"

"It seems Master Ji’s condition isn’t right. What if the two of them really have a conflict..."

"Ahem!"

Liu Miaozhi coughed, and the discussions ceased immediately.

She looked around at everyone with apricot eyes, expressionless, and said coldly, "Remember, no matter what happens, we will always follow Mr. Chen, and are his most steadfast followers, even if it means going through the sword mountain and fire sea without a word of complaint... Anyone who dares to harbor any disloyalty, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
