Truly a noble, benevolent man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing flipped through each martial arts manual once, then used Good Deed Points to memorize them all, digesting them slowly afterward. After finishing the entire chest, he looked up to see the rising sun, dewdrops glistening green—the natural scenery of the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion was quite lovely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion now held too many people: vendors selling buns, poor scholar-officials, old men smoking traditional pipes, vegetable peddlers… to Gu Qing, they spoiled the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Two Excellences of the Northwest, the Seven Heroes of the Marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were under the Tianqin Sect, commanded by Huo Tianqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their appearance before Gu Qing clearly meant the Tianqin Sect was preparing to act against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess Danfeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing reached out and suddenly took “Shangguan Danfeng” by the hand: “The weather is perfect—shall we practice our morning exercises together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shangguan Danfeng”’s face turned instantly pale; though her wrist was held by Gu Qing, her body remained rigid and stiff as she said solemnly: “When the spirit is tranquil, blood and qi harmonize; when desires are excessive, illness arises. I hope Great Hero Gu understands the way of health preservation and cherishes his body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shangguan Danfeng” was advising Gu Qing—but in truth, she was refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing ignored her resistance, pulled “Shangguan Danfeng” into his arms, and gently seized one of her feet—the small foot beneath her robe wore a red shoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You weren’t so proper last night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shangguan Danfeng” sensed danger, yet stared coldly at Gu Qing and said: “Great Hero Gu, last night I was organizing the manuals in the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion—I never spoke with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gazed at “Shangguan Danfeng” and said: “Your disguise has always been excellent—but there are still many flaws…” As he spoke, he touched her chin: “I’ve heard some ninja from the East Japan are skilled in disguise and can control throat muscles to alter their voice. Is that why you’ve resisted my advances—afraid of damaging those abilities?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shangguan Danfeng” slapped away his hand on her chin and said coldly: “If it’s vulgar talk between men and women, don’t say it to me.” As a princess, “Shangguan Danfeng” remained dignified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had already tried twice to tear up Huo Xiu’s script—but Huo Xiu had patched it each time. Now that Yan Tieshan and Du Gu Yihao were gone, the situation was becoming clear. If Huo Xiu continued his script, he would frame Huo Tianqing—but before that, Gu Qing had already become too much of an obstacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing knew Huo Xiu would inevitably target him, so before Huo Xiu acted, he attempted to turn Shangguan Feiyan against him—to reverse the chessboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this situation could not be reversed, Gu Qing would have to follow the path of the Great Han Chess Sage and force a hard reversal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only want to sit with you and talk—to help you analyze who your friends are and who your enemies are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing held “Shangguan Danfeng” and began: “Right now, before you are three men. One is an old man—rich but stingy, who has practiced celibacy for years and dares not touch women. You stay by his side for his money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shangguan Danfeng”’s expression grew colder as she listened to Gu Qing’s analysis, realizing he understood the current situation far better than she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Xiu was stingy and could not touch women; Shangguan Feiyan had received no money from him that satisfied her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another is the sect’s patriarch—high-ranking in the Jianghu, young and handsome, powerful and influential, skilled in martial arts, ambitious, and capable of offering you strategy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing spoke of this second man, “Shangguan Danfeng”’s heart softened—though she had been working with Gu Qing, her thoughts had always been on Huo Tianqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Feiyan was serious about Huo Tianqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this man is fickle—though he has you, he still has others outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, “Shangguan Danfeng”’s heart turned cold again—Gu Qing knew about Huo Tianqing and Ye Xiuzhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Feiyan was deeply jealous of Ye Xiuzhu’s existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The third is me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing continued: “I have no interest in Jianghu power or the Jin Peng Dynasty’s wealth. The only thing I care about—martial arts manuals—conflicts with nothing you seek. Now the three sides are about to clash. Who do you truly wish to support? Think carefully.” As he spoke, he released “Shangguan Danfeng,” signaling she could leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shangguan Danfeng” made her decision quickly, smiled seductively at Gu Qing, tore off her face mask, revealing her true identity—Shangguan Feiyan—and pouted: “When did you find out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you made your choice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Feiyan happily flung herself into Gu Qing’s arms: “Stingy Huo Xiu practices celibacy and won’t even pay me. Huo Tianqing has lofty ambitions, but his strength and wisdom fall short—he’s been played like a puppet by you and Huo Xiu. But you, Great Hero Gu—your personal strength and abilities far surpass both of them. Of course I stand with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Feiyan clearly understood the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Qing killed Huo Xiu, she could take over much of the Qingyi Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stroked Shangguan Feiyan’s hair and said: “Actually, your plan with Huo Tianqing still has flaws. Do you know the royal family of the Jin Peng Dynasty all have six toes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shangguan Feiyan’s heart turned cold—Huo Xiu, as the last of the Three Ministers, must know this royal secret—and by keeping it, he could easily kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Shangguan Feiyan knew exactly whom she must target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1226,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","78b687bd884e40cc859ac253edeb449f1a408c82757f54c389d3aa75bf842edd","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-87","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-85",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
