Chapter 816: Chapter 816: Genius Young Lady vs. Reborn Concubine-born Daughter (Part 27)
The final match of the Young Kings Tournament.
The opponent was strong.
Of course, anyone who made it to this final step couldn’t be weak.
Yet, he was still no match for Gu Shengyin.
The man was a swordsman, silent and steadfast like his sword. Only when he drew his blade did one feel that chilling, ever-present killing aura.
His admission of defeat was equally straightforward.
A person like him wouldn’t waste his time on meaningless things.
With that time, he might as well practice his swordsmanship again.
As everyone expected, Gu Shengyin won first place in the tournament, becoming the undisputed king among the younger generation of martial artists on the Tianxuan Continent.
On the Tianxuan Continent’s side, the precious communication stone was used to send this joyous news back to Tianxuan the moment the results were announced.
Waiting for the returning warriors to the Empire would be the grandest welcome ceremony.
After the award ceremony, the Tianxuan Continent delegation did not linger in the Vermilion Bird Empire for long. Under King Lie Xiao’s reluctant gaze, Gu Shengyin embarked on the journey home.
Inside the carriage, Gu Shengyin was toying with an exquisite little white jade bottle.
Inside that small bottle was the Mystical Profound Pill that Cheng Lingyu coveted most.
She knew that Cheng Lingyu was trying every means possible to obtain this bottle of elixir.
And she was contemplating how to let Cheng Lingyu have this bottle of elixir.
She would treat it as a grand gift for the true Cheng Lingyu.
The effects of the Mystical Profound Pill could be described as terrifying, as it completely cleansed and remolded the root bone. Such pain was unbearable for the average person.
Among the cases of awakening failures after taking the Mystical Profound Pill, at least thirty percent were because they could not endure that pain.
If it were the real Cheng Lingyu, she would definitely not withstand this pain. Follow current novels on novｅlfire.net
But Cheng Ling was different. This woman could endure anything to become stronger.
Her aim was to expel Cheng Lingyu’s soul at the moment of awakening when she was at her weakest, and coincidentally, Gu Shengyin planned to do the same.
At her soul’s weakest moment, expel her from Cheng Lingyu’s body.
To use one’s own method in return.
No one wronged anyone else.
While Gu Shengyin was thinking, a familiar presence appeared beside her.
She wasn’t surprised at all and turned her head to smile, “Teacher.”
The Great High Priest seemed surprised, “How did you know it was me?”
Gu Shengyin blinked, “No matter what form Teacher takes, I can recognize you at a glance.”
The Great High Priest admitted he felt a surge of joy because of this statement.
“Close your eyes,” he said.
Gu Shengyin closed her eyes without hesitation.
Seeing her completely unfazed by his words, not even on guard in the slightest, exposing her vulnerabilities to him, the Great High Priest’s eyes softened.
He gently extended a finger and touched Gu Shengyin’s brow.
That night, the sealed memories surged into Gu Shengyin’s mind instantly.
So… did I really confess just like that, when I was drunk?
Gu Shengyin opened her eyes somewhat conflicted, looking at the Great High Priest who had returned to his original appearance.
Her teacher sealing her memories was something she could completely understand. It avoided mutual awkwardness and discomfort.
Then why now had he suddenly lifted the seal?
Did some time passing mean they wouldn’t feel awkward anymore?
Could it be? Gu Shengyin opened her eyes wide.
