After a night, Gu Qing left the Yihua Palace with Yao Yue—a further decisive victory for Yao Yue over Lian Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing turned his face toward Yao Yue; their gazes met. Yao Yue slightly lifted her chin, triumphant and self-satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think you’ve won?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I rarely lose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you’ve already lost to Lian Xing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue frowned slightly, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled and said: “You both are martial geniuses. The Yihua Palace’s secret art, Mingyu Gong, you both reached the eighth level after twenty-four years of practice. Originally, you both believed that with another four or five years, you would both break through to the peak ninth level. But after Jiang Feng came to the Yihua Palace, he became your mutual demonic obstacle—since then, your martial progress has stalled completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue’s proud expression gradually faded; her gaze turned cold as she fixed it on Gu Qing. The topic of Jiang Feng was one she refused to hear—but since Gu Qing insisted, she had no choice but to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because both of you carry heavy chains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing continued: “Compared to your chains, Lian Xing’s may be even heavier—she is burdened with a fanatical, domineering sister who makes her dare not challenge her in anything; her crippled limbs have left her with deep-seated inferiority...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every word Gu Qing spoke, Yao Yue’s face grew three degrees colder; by the end, her entire aura radiated chilling frost, colder than the harshest winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now, Lian Xing has no chains left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No chains left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because Lian Xing has found a soulmate who heals her physical defects, offering her unprecedented care and warmth. Now, Lian Xing no longer remembers Jiang Feng from over a decade ago. To protect this lover, she dares to challenge her own sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial accumulation of over a decade will now swiftly break through to the ninth level of Mingyu Gong once Lian Xing’s heart achieves perfect harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue’s expression darkened again; she stared fixedly at Gu Qing and said: “So you came out with me to avoid disturbing her cultivation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue drew a deep breath, feeling tricked by Gu Qing—and a flicker of anxiety stirred within her over Lian Xing’s imminent breakthrough to the ninth level of Mingyu Gong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gestured to Yao Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue tilted her body slightly toward Gu Qing, only to see him point at his own face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kiss me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue replied frostily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing did not anger; he chuckled and said: “You forcibly dragged me away, yet you don’t even know what you truly want. How can you break through to the ninth level of Mingyu Gong like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue fell silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing no longer provoked her; he leaned back lazily at the bow, letting the Yihua Palace disciples behind him row—overall direction: toward Guishan. “Is that Gu Qing, the great hero?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the boat glided forward, a voice called from the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gazed toward the shore; most faces there were unfamiliar. He was about to ask when the man introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Tie Wushuang. I’ve long heard of your heroic name. If you’re not in a hurry, please come ashore for a cup of wine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on shore was Tie Wushuang, leader of the Three Xiang Alliance and father-in-law of Li Dazui. In the Jianghu, he was famed as “one who loves talent above all”—whenever a talented young hero appeared, Tie Wushuang would lend aid. As alliance leader, he mediated Jianghu affairs in the Three Xiang region with such fairness that all were convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Tie Wushuang’s name, the Yihua Palace disciple rowing shuddered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing looked at the disciple. During his time at the Yihua Palace, Gu Qing had learned this girl’s name was Tie Pinggu, daughter of Li Dazui and Tie Wushuang’s granddaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go drink a cup of wine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded to Tie Pinggu, then said to Yao Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In The Peerless Couple, Tie Pinggu was a perpetual victim: she fled with Jiang Xiaoyu from Yao Yue’s side, but due to her lack of Jianghu experience, she was seduced and betrayed by Jiang Yulang. Afterward, she remained devoted to Jiang Yulang, believing they would have a future—only to be stripped naked and displayed, then hung from a waterfall, while Jiang Yulang proved utterly unreliable. In the end, she surrendered, accepted her fate, and casually followed one of the Twelve Zodiacs—the Rabbit, Hu Yaoshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing took Yao Yue’s arm and leapt ashore; Tie Pinggu followed behind. As a Yihua Palace disciple, Tie Pinggu’s lightness skill was no weakling’s—she executed a swallow-skimming-the-water maneuver and landed on shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Wushuang’s hair and beard were snow-white, his face flushed with health. Upon seeing Gu Qing, he bowed respectfully; upon seeing Yao Yue, however, he nearly choked—Yao Yue was beautiful beyond measure, and even with her eyelids half-lowered, she radiated crushing pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you the Yihua Palace Mistress?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Wushuang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the Jianghu knew of Gu Qing’s connection to the Yihua Palace Mistress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Mistress Yao Yue,” Gu Qing said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Wushuang, leader of the Three Xiang Alliance, was awed by Yao Yue’s terrifying aura and dared not meet her gaze directly; he merely said: “Mistress Yao Yue, a celestial descending to earth, gracing this mortal realm—truly a blessing of three lifetimes for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Wushuang hurriedly invited them to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing glanced at the chair—it was plain, far from suitable for Yao Yue’s standards. He said: “I’ve recently been practicing a walking art—I cannot sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue cast a sidelong glance at Gu Qing, then remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Wushuang was astonished by this “walking art” and knew better than to press further. He promptly served wine, toasted Gu Qing, and inquired about Yan Nantian’s whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m asking about Yan Nantian because of a young Jianghu hero named Jiang Xiaoyu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Wushuang said: “Lately, I’ve been hunting the Ten Evils. Jiang Xiaoyu was among them, and he repeatedly protected me. But a few days ago, the great hero Yan Nantian suddenly appeared, took Jiang Xiaoyu away, and scared off the Ten Evils.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing studied Tie Wushuang... Though an old Jianghu hand, Tie Wushuang’s tactics were no match for the Ten Evils. Had Jiang Xiaoyu not protected him, Tie Wushuang would have been dead long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Yan Nantian taking Jiang Xiaoyu away—when Yan Nantian first awoke, he wanted Jiang Xiaoyu beside him. But Jiang Xiaoyu wished to visit Emei to investigate who fabricated the rumor of Yan Nantian’s treasure, then learned the mastermind behind Jiang Biehe was Jiang Qin. He went after Jiang Biehe with Tie Xinlan, became entangled in Tie Wushuang’s hunt for the Ten Evils, and never returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Yan Nantian has taken him, Jiang Xiaoyu will surely be rigorously trained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue’s eyes grew colder as she listened. Perhaps letting Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wúquē fight to the death would finally resolve her inner knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will you still pursue the Ten Evils?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Wushuang’s face flushed awkwardly. “The Ten Evils are treacherous and cunning, and now that Yan Nantian scared them off, who knows where they’ve hidden? As leader of the Three Xiang Alliance, I have countless duties—I cannot neglect Jianghu affairs for personal vendettas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words sounded noble, but Gu Qing knew Tie Wushuang understood perfectly well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled, looking at Tie Wushuang, and said: “Speaking of personal matters—do you know you have a granddaughter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing wanted Tie Wushuang to reunite with Tie Pinggu, to earn some good karma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1377,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ebacb2ba1d347244bbe87aed62e6c599005b463906cbe55a349a03bfe8755833","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-183","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-181",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
