Gu Qing stood nearby, watching as Elder Peng’s body was collected, and upon returning to the manor, he heard muffled quarreling inside—clearly, Guo Fu’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stirred Gu Qing’s curiosity, and he hurried to the edge of the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fu-mei, where did you go so early this morning? Why did you come back with Yang Guo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw something fun yesterday…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wu brothers were pestering Guo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fu, still unsettled from the recent chaos, was extremely impatient and kept shooing them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fu-mei, I heard Master intends to betroth you to Yang Guo. You’re so indecisive—have you developed feelings for him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiuwen cried out angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Yang Guo’s return, he had gained considerable favor from Guo Jing, and Guo Fu often took him along on outings. Rumors of a betrothal between the Guo and Yang families had spread, and Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen, already anxious, now saw Guo Fu’s coldness toward them and grew even more desperate, wishing she would immediately declare her feelings for one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether I have feelings or not is none of your business!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fu slammed the door shut from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being shut out, the Wu brothers both turned red-faced and stormed off. Just past the corner, they spotted Gu Qing standing there—and froze. Had he overheard everything they’d just said to Fu-mei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you staring at?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing felt no embarrassment. He spread his hands and grinned. “Guo Fu hasn’t developed feelings for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing was just passing by, enjoying some gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen were so furious their blood boiled—if they could have beaten Gu Qing, they’d have fought him then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking past the two Wu brothers, Gu Qing headed straight for Xiaolongnu’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing knocked on the door and said, “I’ve come to return your Jade Bee Needles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu, by nature, disliked commotion and cared little for most affairs. Saving Guo Fu was meaningless to her. Gu Qing knew her disposition, so he had not invited her before. Now that he had returned, he came simply to greet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu’s voice was cold and distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you don’t want needles that have pierced anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said, “So I’m returning you a hundredfold—new needles, never used.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing “a hundredfold,” Xiaolongnu finally opened the door. In the sunlight, her form glowed like spring blossoms; her brows slightly furrowed, she extended her hand directly toward Gu Qing, signaling him to return the needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing reached out, lifting the Golden Wheel and Iron Wheel of the Golden Wheel Master, placing them into her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two wheels were the last ones the Golden Wheel Master had thrown. Seeing he abandoned them, Gu Qing picked them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu saw the two wheels and retracted her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jade Bee Needles are forged from six parts gold and four parts refined steel, then tempered with the Jade Bee venom from the Ancient Tomb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing knew the Ancient Tomb Sect’s methods well. “These two wheels, combined, contain enough material to forge a hundredfold the original needles. Don’t worry—I’ll find someone to make them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were already workshops specializing in needle-making, and many master craftsmen. With the right artisan and the Ancient Tomb’s process, crafting a full set of Jade Bee Needles wouldn’t be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Best you do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu glanced at the two wheels and replied, “The needles left by our Foundress were never many…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing was about to speak when he heard shouting—the Wu brothers, rebuffed by Guo Fu, had come to confront Yang Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen had admitted Yang Guo was stronger. But after being slapped by Gu Qing, they had reformed for a long while, trained diligently, and received guidance from Zhu Ziliu of Dali. Now they believed themselves equal to Yang Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yang Guo’s name mentioned, Xiaolongnu did not step out immediately. Instead, she turned to Gu Qing, her gaze asking: What happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu knew what had transpired that morning—Gu Qing and Yang Guo had rescued Guo Fu. Now she wanted to know where things had gone wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jealousy over a woman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing summed it up briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Yang Guo truly loved Guo Fu was debated endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether Guo Fu loved Yang Guo—there was no debate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Guo Fu only realized her own heart at the very end, a careful unraveling revealed many signs of her inner turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their reunion, Guo Fu had shown Yang Guo subtle, peculiar feelings—until Guo Jing proposed the marriage, Yang Guo caused a scene, and only then did Guo Fu turn hostile toward him. Even after being saved by him and Xiaolongnu, she showed no gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the scene where Guo Fu cut off Yang Guo’s arm, she rushed to him, asking how he intended to resolve his claim that he would marry her. It seemed like an accusation, but was really testing his attitude. Yang Guo’s response—acknowledging fault but refusing responsibility—pushed her to demand where Guo Xiang was, then attack Xiaolongnu, until things spiraled beyond control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Guo Fu has been rescued by Yang Guo again. Perhaps this has stirred her heart, deepening her impression of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing and Xiaolongnu left the courtyard and walked into the locust grove outside Lu Family Manor. This place had once hosted the Beggar Sect’s succession ceremony and witnessed Elder Peng’s execution. Now cleared, the Wu brothers had chosen it to settle their score with Yang Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why bother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guo, helplessly dragged into the confrontation, said, “We have no grudge against each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s just settle who’s better!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wu brothers persisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yang Guo, give them a lesson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fu rushed over, flustered and angry. “They’ve both lost their minds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group remained entangled in argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stood watching, idly glancing at Xiaolongnu. He reached out, gently grasping her hand. Startled, she tried to pull away—but her resistance was slight. Gu Qing, emboldened, tightened his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu looked at Gu Qing, her eyes filled with embarrassment and irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Gu Qing was about to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I came at a bad time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a woman’s voice rang out—cool, clear, and sweetly melodic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Gu Qing, it felt like a sword pierced his back. Startled, he turned while still holding Xiaolongnu’s hand—and saw a woman standing behind him, clad entirely in green, wearing a human-skin mask, her voice laced with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ying had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guo clapped his hands excitedly. Amid the chaos, he had seen Gu Qing holding Xiaolongnu’s hand and was about to intervene—but now, he wanted Gu Qing to keep holding it, so Cheng Ying could see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spotlight instantly shifted to Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—you came at the perfect time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let it be death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing reached out toward Cheng Ying across the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1180,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ef56d2ab9b19d3cf5bc336271bbab1e2c32d0e53ed66646959eea9acb12487a0","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-38","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-36",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
