Chapter 370 - Mo Yang and Gang 9

Gu Shanshan could not help but cry out once she snapped out of her daze.

“Ah!”

She pulled Qi Qingyao over to one side and said, “Y-you, you have no idea who Gong Sunshe is?”

Qi Qingyao replied earnestly, “I just got to the city, so what’s so weird about not knowing who he is? Is this old man really famous?” However, Cangjing Lake did sound very familiar to her.

She had heard of it before.

She had forgotten where she had heard it from, though.

Gu Shanshan quickly said to her, “A grand master from Southern Ming who likes to cultivate at Cangjing Lake! His name is Gong Sunshe.”

“That guy?” Qi Qingyao was stunned for a moment. “That guy is a grand master?”

Gu Shanshan pulled Qi Qingyao further away and wiped the sweat off her forehead. It was winter, but she was still sweating. Where was her brother when she needed him? Where the hell had he gone to?

Despite her anxiety, she pretended to keep calm as she replied, “It certainly looks like it.”

However, she was screaming on the inside, ‘Brother!! Gu Cheng!! Second Brother!! Hurry up! There is a grand master here! Help!!”

At the same time, Gu Shanshan thought to herself, ‘Yaoyao, I’m not sure if you’ll be lucky or unlucky this time around.’

She had once had a young grand master following her around.

Now, she had run into another grand master while visiting a temple!

Gu Shanshan was unhappy about it, and Qi Qingyao shared the same sentiment. “…”

Her expression was ashen as she turned around to ask the old man, “So, you’re a grand master?”

“According to most people, I guess I am.” Gong Sunshe stroked his beard as he smiled at Qi Qingyao.

Qi Qingyao stared at the old man with caution as she asked him, “You didn’t come to Qingzhou City for me, did you? Ah, no. You came here for Si Jin, right?”

“Si Jin? That young grand master?”

It turned out that this was the lady everyone was talking about, Qi Qingyao.

She had gotten a grand master to be her companion.

Was she… the one who had helped the young grand master achieve enlightenment, or was she his lover?

The child Pang Juan kidnapped might just be her daughter…

Gong Sunshe muttered her name as he stared into the wary eyes of the young lady in front of him. He then said to her, “Something like that, but not exactly that. I want to wander around and explore, I want to break through and achieve enlightenment.”

There were eight grand masters in the world right now. As experienced veterans, they really wanted to pay this amateur a visit.

Killing him came second.

He had journeyed a long way here because he thought he would be able to find something that might help him achieve a breakthrough.

Something stirred in Qi Qingyao’s gaze as she said, “You said you’re not here to capture me, yet you want me to make a bet with you, and if I lose, I’ll have to follow you. You’re saying one thing but doing the opposite, aren’t you, old man?”

Gong Sunshe felt like he had been misunderstood, “I want you to follow me around because I feel like fate has brought us together so you can help me with my cultivation.”

Qi Qingyao was even more infuriated now. “Different excuse, same demand. You still want to capture me!”

“Why you little…” Alright, the outcome would be almost the same, but Gong Sunshe was at a loss for words when it came to this lady. He thought to himself, ‘This girl definitely has a clear and sound mind.’

Qi Qingyao had no idea why this grand master wanted her to follow him, but since he was so eager about it, she might be able to make use of it.

She mused over it for a moment and then said, “If you’re a grand master, you should be able to help me.”

Her eyelashes flicked as she looked downward. She took out three dice from her pocket and held them in between her fingers, “Let’s make a dice bet. The one with the greatest value wins. If I win, you’ll rescue my daughter. If I lose, you’ll still rescue my daughter.”

He was the one who had proposed the idea first, and now he was willingly putting himself in this situation.

After all, he wanted to use her.

It all came down to who was going to make the first move.

This is a battle she had to win.

Since she had the good fortune to run into such an elite figure right outside the koi temple, the Koi God was looking over her and was going to protect her for sure!
