Chapter 1631: Chapter 828: Thunderclap Out of Nowhere (Part 2)

He gently caressed the jade bottle in his hand, feeling the faint yet chilling aura, and slowly spoke.

"Years ago at the Qin Family Pharmacy, you said you wanted to repay me. Later you disappeared without notice, and today you return with a great treasure seeking assistance. Nangong Qingyue, I see your sincerity. But... do you know what killing a person with a significant position in the Great Wilderness Holy Academy means?"

Nangong Qingyue’s body trembled slightly, clenched her teeth, and said.

"Qingyue knows! This is a great catastrophe! But... as long as I can avenge this deep-seated hatred, I will do so without hesitation, even if it means being crushed to powder!"

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, his gaze deep.

"I still don’t know who your enemy is. I don’t know why he exterminated your entire Nangong Family.

Simply based on this trace of aura and your one-sided words, you want me to kill a senior member of the Holy Academy... Nangong Qingyue, do you think this is enough?"

Nangong Qingyue’s face turned pale, her eyes filled with panic, which quickly transformed into deeper resolve.

She suddenly stood up, and from her bosom took out a completely dark wooden box that exuded a sense of ancient simplicity.

The box was not large, yet it gave a feeling as heavy as a mountain.

"Senior! This is the most precious item hidden within the Nangong Family! It’s also the key to unlocking the core area of the hidden treasure!"

Nangong Qingyue held the wooden box with both hands, her voice trembling.

"The list of other treasures in the hidden storage is also within this box! I am willing to offer this box, along with the Hidden Treasure Key, as a deposit to the senior! I just ask the senior... to give me a chance! Once you ascertain the identity of my enemy, if you deem them worthy of death, then act!

If the senior finds my words false, or if the enemy should not be killed, Qingyue... shall have no complaints! The items within this box may be disposed of as you see fit!"

She placed the Qiankun Wooden Box gently on Gu Sheng’s desk and then stepped back a bit, bowing deeply once more.

"In Great Wilderness City, Qingyue has no relatives, and the only trustworthy person... is you, Senior! I beg you... to fulfill my wish!"

Gu Sheng’s gaze fell upon the ancient Qiankun Wooden Box on the desk.

The box’s material was extraordinary, intricately carved with mysterious runes, clearly a space artifact of not low rank.

Nangong Qingyue’s offering of this item showed her sincerity and determination.

He did not immediately touch the box, but looked at Nangong Qingyue who was deeply bowing to the ground, his voice calm and unaffected.

"Stand up."

Nangong Qingyue stood up as instructed, watching Gu Sheng nervously, awaiting his answer.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I need to deliberate over this matter. Your enemy’s identity is unclear, involving the Holy Academy, and is no small matter.

I will keep this trace of aura. As for this Qiankun Wooden Box..."

With a thought, an invisible force lifted the box and sent it to the waiting maid outside the door.

"Give this box to the shopkeeper, and have him check the items inside, make a detailed list, and bring it to me later."

"Yes."

The maid respectfully took the box and left.

Gu Sheng then looked at Nangong Qingyue.

"Before you receive my reply, you may rest at Linyin Pavilion. This place is safe, and no one will dare to cause trouble here. If you have other places to go, you may arrange yourself. But remember, do not act rashly before my response."

Nangong Qingyue felt disappointment but more understanding.

She knew that Gu Sheng not rejecting her on the spot already gave her hope.

She bowed again.

"Yes! Qingyue understands! Thank you, Senior, for taking me in! Qingyue... will wait here for your news!"

Without speaking further, Gu Sheng left the Quiet Room.

Inside the Quiet Room, only Nangong Qingyue remained.

She looked at Gu Sheng’s departing back, then at the empty desk, slowly sat back down on the chair, her hands tightly clasped, knuckles turning white.

In her eyes, there was anticipation, anxiety, and deeply buried, heart-wrenching hatred silently burning.

She knew this was her only hope.

She could only... wait.

Linyin Pavilion, third floor, in Gu Yuanyuan’s Quiet Room.

Gu Yuanyuan was sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat, circulating her qi according to the Basic Cultivation Technique taught by Gu Sheng. The rich Spiritual Energy flowed into her body like a gentle stream, nourishing her meridians.

Her aura was harmonious, seemingly only a step away from breaking through to the Sect Realm.

The Quiet Room door was gently pushed open, and Gu Sheng entered.

"Master!"

Gu Yuanyuan immediately stopped her cultivation and rose, her face beaming with joy.
