#64 - This emperor is not a good person, Qingzhu, you have to be careful

“Ding… Gu Changsheng's reputation has been damaged, Destiny Value -200000, your System Value + two million.”

Normally speaking, a person's reputation doesn't greatly affect their Destiny Value.

But in recent years, Gu Changsheng's reputation has been too good.

Many people, and even some forces, are friendly towards him and the Gu family because of Gu Changsheng's refined demeanor.

Including his good reputation, it makes some powerful individuals subconsciously have a good impression of him.

Thus, among a group of people, he is more likely to be chosen for some opportunities and assistance.

This is also Destiny.

Therefore, the damage to his reputation does affect his fortune, and it's not insignificant.

Beneath her veil, Lin Qingzhu slightly pursed her red lips and softly said to the Medical Saint: “The two of them have tried their best to make amends, but I fear they can hardly escape death.”

Xu Fengqiu lightly said: “Before doing something, one must consider the consequences. What they just did can only spare their lives. Otherwise, even if Gu Changsheng doesn't kill them, I won't let them go.”

For some reason, Lin Qingzhu didn't feel any aversion upon hearing Xu Fengqiu's words.

Normally, it would damage an Immortal Emperor's prestige to bother with people who are almost like mortals.

However, Xu Fengqiu doesn't conceal his thoughts at all. Even if it does damage his imperial prestige, she finds it very genuine.

“Ding… Lin Qingzhu's affection for you +1, current affection: 31.”

“Young Master Xu is truly genuine, Qingzhu admires you.”

Xu Fengqiu walked forward with his hands behind his back, saying: “What's there to admire?”

Lin Qingzhu: “Over the years, it's rare to meet someone as unrestrained as Young Master Xu, who doesn't fear the eyes of the world. No wonder you could write such an astonishing and unrestrained masterpiece like 'Bring in the Wine'. It perfectly matches Young Master Xu's temperament, and no wonder you could enter the Dao through this poem.”

“I also wanted to be a refined gentleman.” Xu Fengqiu laughed.

Lin Qingzhu frankly said: “In Qingzhu's eyes, Young Master Xu is a refined gentleman.”

“Oh?” Xu Fengqiu glanced at her.

Lin Qingzhu: “In Qingzhu's opinion, it's not just Young Master Gu who is a refined gentleman. The Young Master Xu of this moment, the Young Master Xu who composed poetry last night, are both refined gentlemen.”

“Hahaha, just kidding. I don't want to be a gentleman. It's better to be a villain, even better to be an evil person. I don't need to be restrained anymore. I can kill whoever displeases me, and I can directly express my admiration for whomever I admire, without needing to hide anything or consider my reputation.”

Lin Qingzhu: “Qingzhu also never expected Young Master Gu to be like this, but upon closer thought, how many saints are there in this world?”

“Do you think Gu Changsheng will kill those two?” Xu Fengqiu asked.

Lin Qingzhu walked gracefully, pondering for a moment: “If he is a true gentleman, he shouldn't kill them. If he is a hypocrite, um… he also shouldn't kill them, at least not in the short term. He'll wait until the storm passes before killing them.”

Xu Fengqiu smiled.

Lin Qingzhu curiously glanced at Xu Fengqiu: “Why is Young Master Xu smiling?”

“Three.”

“Huh?”

“Two.”

Lin Qingzhu was stunned.

“One.”

In the rear, a sudden uproar erupted.

Lin Qingzhu turned her head to look.

Gu Changsheng walked into the crowd and killed the two on the street.

“Bastard! This Young Master has never met you two, let alone done such despicable and shameless things. To slander this Young Master like this, you deserve to die!”

Gu Changsheng said angrily.

Then he looked around: “These two are slandering this Young Master. Heaven and earth can bear witness! This Young Master suspects that their actions are being directed by someone else, to tarnish this Young Master's reputation! Hmph! Their deaths are not a pity!”

Gu Changsheng had no choice.

He could only use the excuse that they were slandering him to openly kill them.

This was actually better.

Otherwise, if they died later, the blame would fall on his head.

Doing it this way now is considered reasonable.

Lin Qingzhu was stunned for a moment.

She followed Xu Fengqiu's footsteps.

“How did Young Master Xu know that Young Master Gu would kill them now?”

Xu Fengqiu smiled: “Thinking what others think, considering what others consider, I am not a good person either. I can naturally guess what he would do. Miss Qingzhu should be careful.”

“Qingzhu is not afraid.”

“That's good, hahaha.”

… …

Lin Qingzhu brought Xu Fengqiu to the Imperial Isle above the Imperial Palace.

This is where the Holy Yao Empress usually stays.

It's also where the Holy Yao Empress's royal experts are located.

The Imperial Palace below is just a place for civil and military officials to handle the major and minor affairs of the Holy Yao Empire.

The scenery here is beautiful, and the spiritual energy is extremely rich.

There aren't many people. Under Xu Fengqiu's Spirit Peering Eyes.

These maids may seem ordinary, but each of them has the cultivation of a Divine Emperor Realm or Heavenly Dao Realm.

“I was only qualified to enter this place after becoming a disciple of Her Majesty the Empress. I usually cultivate here. Young Master Xu, please.”

Lin Qingzhu brought Xu Fengqiu to a lakeside.

Maids brought fruit and served tea.

Xu Fengqiu took a sip of tea and asked: “What does Her Majesty the Empress want from me?”

Lin Qingzhu sat upright in front of Xu Fengqiu, gently shaking her head: “Qingzhu doesn't know either, but Qingzhu really wants to discuss poetry with Young Master Xu.”

“Qingzhu would like to ask Young Master Xu to comment on some poems I wrote a few days ago.”

Xu Fengqiu said: “I don't know how to appraise poetry.”

Xu Fengqiu looked at Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu was stunned.

“But I know how to copy poetry.” Xu Fengqiu smiled.

Lin Qingzhu softly said: “Young Master Xu is teasing Qingzhu. Qingzhu did have some doubts about Young Master Xu a few times last night, but…”

Xu Fengqiu asked: “It's fine, it's fine.”

“I wonder if Miss Qingzhu would be willing to remove her veil?” Xu Fengqiu asked.

Lin Qingzhu looked slightly apologetic: “Qingzhu has been somewhat disrespectful to Young Master Xu.”

Then she slowly removed her veil.

A peerless beauty was presented before Xu Fengqiu.

Xu Fengqiu praised: “Bewitching the country, captivating the city, neither flower nor mist, unparalleled in the spring breeze.”

Lin Qingzhu was shocked.

Young Master Xu's talent shocked her.

Truly, such beautiful verses just flowed out of his mouth.

“Young Master Xu is too kind, Young Master Xu is very talented.”

Lin Qingzhu elegantly picked up a writing brush, and then involuntarily and excitedly copied Xu Fengqiu's poem.

“Hahaha, let me take a look.”

“Yes, thank you, Young Master Xu.”

Lin Qingzhu handed the few poems she had written to Xu Fengqiu.

“They are all excellent works.” Xu Fengqiu praised: “However, there are also a few places that can be improved.”

In the distance.

The Holy Yao Empress watched Xu Fengqiu and Lin Qingzhu discussing poetry and nodded slightly.

She originally wanted to find Xu Fengqiu for help.

After last night's poetry gathering, she knew that she was right.

The Holy Yao Empress turned and left.

Let's give them some time alone first.

An hour later.

The Holy Yao Empress, who was flipping through ancient books, suddenly frowned.

She looked out the window.

“Huh?”

In the back garden, by the lakeside, there were faint signs of a celestial phenomenon?

The Holy Yao Empress frowned slightly as she looked.

By the lake, the two were sitting there.

And at this moment, above Lin Qingzhu, a phoenix phantom was slowly opening its wings, emitting light.

But Lin Qingzhu was completely unaware.

“This is?”

The Holy Yao Empress was shocked!

Her disciple, Lin Qingzhu, was about to enter the Dao through poetry after chatting with Xu Fengqiu for a while?

Ah?

And Xu Fengqiu was able to discover this.

It's not that Lin Qingzhu couldn't discover it, but that she had entered a special state.

Lin Qingzhu was extremely absorbed in the poems that Xu Fengqiu had just created.

And in the poems after he had revised them for her.

She didn't even realize that her beautiful hair was faintly dancing.

Why was she about to enter the Dao so easily?

Actually, it's very simple.

First, she is indeed a rare and monstrous genius.

Second, the Immortal Card.

The effects of Xu Fengqiu's Immortal Card, which last for a day, haven't ended yet.

The Immortal Card doesn't just affect Xu Fengqiu himself.

It also has an effect on the people around him.

Ultimately, its effect is to make Xu Fengqiu seem like an “Immortal.”

Composing poetry, celestial phenomena.

Painting, embodying reality.

Preaching, everyone breaks through, advances, and comprehends the Dao.

Everything is to showcase Xu Fengqiu, to make the world feel that Xu Fengqiu is an “Immortal.”

An existence beyond comprehension.

Why was the Poetry Saint able to advance?

It wasn't just because 'Bring in the Wine' affected his poetic path.

The Immortal Card also played a role.

Xu Fengqiu's poem attracted a celestial phenomenon.

After comprehending it, the Poetry Saint successfully advanced to Supreme Immortal Emperor.

Isn't all of this to highlight how awesome Xu Fengqiu is?

This is the essence of the Immortal Card.

And now, the effects of the Immortal Card are still active.

Lin Qingzhu doesn't have any malice towards Xu Fengqiu and is immersed in it.

The Immortal Card is helping her enter the Dao, thereby raising Xu Fengqiu's status in her heart.

Showcasing Xu Fengqiu's extraordinary nature!
