Perhaps he’s already left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Huangji and Scholar Xiao Yun nodded in agreement; Little Fisher watched Gu Qing putting on an act, while on the other side, Shen Qinghong led a group of guards hauling out gold, silver, jewels, weapons, and secret manuals—enough to fill thirty-five carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth stirs the heart; seeing these treasures, the seasoned veterans who came seeking treasure felt their desires stir—but remembering the Flower Moon Palace, they suppressed those thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this martial world, the Flower Moon Palace is a taboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These once belonged to Ouyang Ting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing pointed to the underground palace and explained to them: “Later, Xiao Mimi of the Ten Evils discovered this place, declared herself queen here, took male concubines, and sat upon a mountain of treasure without realizing it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing spoke calmly, Xiao Mimi, hidden in the forest, bit her teeth so hard she nearly shattered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These treasures were once hers—but Xiao Mimi never unearthed them, and now Yan Nanjiang was nearby; as one of the Ten Evils, Xiao Mimi dared not show herself, forced to watch helplessly as Gu Qing gathered these treasures to deliver them to the Flower Moon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master is not a person who clings to love.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Wuxue looked at the thirty-five carts of gold, silver, jewels, weapons, and manuals, feeling unusually uneasy, and warned Gu Qing: “Your feelings may go unreturned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Wuxue knew Yao Yue’s nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Gu Qing smiled gently and said: “Whether or not it’s returned, I must try. When I was young, I was ignorant and idle—until I saw the Mistress of the Flower Moon Palace from afar, and then I found my goal, changed myself, and became who I am today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Consider it me chasing a dream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Wuxue, new to the martial world, had never met a man like Gu Qing before, and felt deep admiration—but he asked: “If my master refuses, where should I return them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could one possibly refuse so much treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Gu Qing took out two letters and handed them to Hua Wuxue: “After bringing these treasures back to the Flower Moon Palace, give the red letter to your master. If your master still refuses after reading it, then give the white one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Wuxue had heard of clever stratagems; seeing Gu Qing’s arrangement, he found it amusing and tucked both letters into his robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the thirty-five carts began to move, Gu Qing stood up; Master Huangji, Scholar Xiao Yun, and the other martial artists had long been impatient—they each made excuses to slip away, actually rushing toward the underground palace; Gu Qing had already taken thirty-five carts’ worth of treasure, but what if something was left behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re awfully generous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Fairy watched the treasure depart and felt deeply pained: “You really went all out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jing had always believed herself above coveting wealth and glory—but when gold and jewels piled into mountains, only to be handed away by Gu Qing, she truly ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Gu Qing, hate waste most of all—I always finish every grain of rice in my bowl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing watched the carts depart and said to Zhang Jing: “Once these treasures reach the Flower Moon Palace, and I marry the Mistress, won’t they still be mine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better than drowning them in water as in the original tale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if she takes the treasure but rejects you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jing laughed bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said confidently: “She will.” Zhang Jing turned her face away, refusing to look at his self-assured expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go. I’ll take you to Great Hero Yan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had already decided; now he led Zhang Jing away, saying: “My side is no longer safe—I fear your blood might splatter on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yao Yue and Lian Xing attacked together, Gu Qing truly couldn’t protect Zhang Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With all that treasure, you didn’t even think to give some to Ninth Sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jing thought of returning to Jiuxiu Manor, thought of Murong Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gu Qing and Zhang Jing traveled toward Mount Emei, Murong Jiu had already broken through the fourth level of the Fossil Divine Art and was now consolidating her cultivation; the Fossil Divine Art, revised by Gu Qing and Murong Jiu, had many flaws corrected and its side effects greatly reduced, and its energy flow was even stronger than the original version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what Gu Qing had infused into it came from various divine arts and supreme techniques, with the Yi Jin Jing being the most abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it the Five Supreme Arts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing countered Zhang Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the treasures sent to the Flower Moon Palace, the Five Supreme Arts was not included—this manual now rested in Little Fairy’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jing stamped her foot and asked: “Then what about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t just give me a single “Nine Appearances of the Divine Dragon, Which Even Ghosts Fear” and dismiss me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiuyu Valley, Flower Moon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most renowned holy site in the martial world; all knew that the Mistress of the Flower Moon Palace, Yao Yue and Lian Xing, possessed peerless beauty, yet few dared harbor improper desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Yao Yue’s beauty was unmatched, yet her face was icy cold, while Lian Xing’s bore a gentle smile as she listened to reports of the latest news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new hero had emerged in the martial world—Gu Qing—who had exposed the conspiracy of the Emei Mountain treasure map and discovered a great hoard, and now intended to offer this treasure as a bride-price to court the Mistress of the Flower Moon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this funny?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue glared coldly at Lian Xing; with that single glance, Lian Xing’s smile vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-five carts of gold, silver, jewels, secret manuals, and divine weapons were indeed a vast windfall for the Flower Moon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the letter Gu Qing sent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Wuxue, following Gu Qing’s instructions, presented the red envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You stand on the bridge admiring the scenery, while the one admiring the scenery watches you from the tower. The bright moon decorates your window; you decorate someone else’s dream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue flipped through its contents; in the letter, Gu Qing spoke of falling in love at first sight, of countless efforts made, and of finally becoming a man worthy of the Mistress of the Flower Moon Palace, hoping she would favor him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was heartfelt devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Yao Yue, this devotion was merely noisy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Gu Qing’s one-sided obsession, now known throughout the martial world, filled Yao Yue with deep irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Wuxue bowed quickly and said: “Gu Qing has another letter—he says if you refuse, you should read this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Wuxue handed over the second letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue looked at the white paper, snorted coldly, and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yao Yue, you don’t want anyone to find out that Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuxue are brothers, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1262,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cd1418166c16f2fae4352ffd3403fe6fed4d72c58786bd204f3eeba66f48be1f","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-171","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-169",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
