Chapter 1196: Chapter 622: Come In and We’ll Talk
A warm current surged in Gu Sheng’s heart. He hurriedly bowed to the Tianlan Saint Mother and gratefully said, "Thank you, Holy Mother, for your efforts. This way, I will have no more worries."
Gu Sheng solemnly bowed to her, "I will never forget the great favor of the Holy Mother."
Tianlan Saint Mother smiled and said, "Gu Sheng, my actions are not without reason."
Gu Sheng responded, "As long as it is within my capability, I will not hesitate to fulfill any request of the Holy Mother."
The Holy Mother gestured for Gu Sheng’s sister and teacher to leave. Once only Gu Sheng, Gongsun Yue, and herself were left in the room, her expression became somewhat serious.
"Gu Sheng, I have two main reasons for calling you here today." Tianlan Saint Mother’s expression was solemn, her gaze shifting back and forth between Gu Sheng and Gongsun Yue.
"The first matter concerns the curse of our Tianlan Sacred Land. Only by re-signing the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate can we resolve this long-standing disaster. I have found the suitable person, who is Gongsun Yue."
Gu Sheng reacted quickly, almost immediately pointing at Gongsun Yue, blurting out, "Is it her?"
The Holy Mother nodded and explained, "Gongsun Yue is one of the few friends you have in our Tianlan Sacred Land. By signing the marriage certificate with her, many complications can be avoided.
Furthermore, I also hope to use this opportunity to strengthen our relationship, allowing you to integrate more deeply into our Tianlan Sacred Land."
Gu Sheng thought for a moment and found the plan quite clever. Having known Gongsun Yue for a long time, they understood each other well. Carrying out this mock wedding would indeed reduce many unnecessary troubles.
Upon hearing that she was to sign the marriage certificate with Gu Sheng, Gongsun Yue’s expression became complicated.
She slightly lowered her head, her eyes showing a mix of shyness and helplessness. However, at this moment, Gu Sheng’s mind was entirely focused on the second matter and did not notice Gongsun Yue’s unusual reaction.
"Holy Mother, what is the second matter?" Gu Sheng asked.
Tianlan Saint Mother spoke slowly, "Ever since my training on your Holy Road, I occasionally feel unwell. I know your medical skills are excellent, and I hope you can diagnose me."
Gu Sheng guessed this might be a residual effect left by the curse. Without hesitation, he immediately stepped forward to the Holy Mother, formed hand seals with both hands, and directed a gentle spiritual power into the Holy Mother’s body.
Strangely, there was no trace of the curse within the Holy Mother. Yet her previous reactions made him involuntarily recall the Qinghe Saintess he met while receiving inheritance on the Holy Road.
At that time, the Qinghe Saintess seemed fine on the surface but harbored hidden mysteries. Gu Sheng calmed his mind, becoming more focused on exploring the secrets within the Holy Mother’s body.
Gongsun Yue walked outside alone. Her mind was a chaotic mess, filled with resistance about the forthcoming marriage certificate signing with Gu Sheng.
Looking at the tall ancient tree before her, Gongsun Yue could no longer suppress her emotions, throwing a punch. With a "bang" sound, the wind from her fist whistled, shaking the thick tree trunk and causing leaves to fall.
"Why does it have to be me?" Gongsun Yue muttered to herself, her eyes turning red, "How... how am I supposed to face him..."
In the Elder Hall, however, it was another lively scene.
Everyone waited anxiously for the appearance of the Tianxuan Divine Girl. Rumor has it that the Tianxuan Divine Girl is a once-in-a-century talent in the Tianlan Sacred Land, not only possessing extraordinary gifts but also with a beauty that could topple nations.
Today is the day the Tianxuan Divine Girl is to choose a husband. Those disciples, who usually prided themselves, were flushed with excitement, trying to present their best selves before the Goddess.
"Here she comes!" someone called out, and everyone’s gaze turned towards the hall door. A woman dressed in splendid garments entered the hall with graceful steps.
Her posture was elegant, her aura cool, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. It was the Tianxuan Divine Girl. For a moment, the hall fell silent, everyone held their breath, afraid to disturb this peerless beauty.
"Fellow brothers and disciples," the Tianxuan Divine Girl spoke, her voice crisp and pleasant like the sound of nature, "I am here today under the elders’ orders to choose a husband. However, let me say this first: only those who pass my test can become my ideal match."
Everyone was eager, ready to give it a try.
The Tianlan Saint Master respectfully said, "The presence of the Tianxuan Divine Girl lights up our Tianlan Sacred Land."
The Tianxuan Divine Girl’s cool voice sounded, "Saint Master, you are too kind." Her gaze swept over everyone, her expression calm, yet it made everyone present feel as if cut by a sharp blade.
The Great Elder whispered to the elder next to him, "This Goddess came looking for a husband, but we, the old fellows, hadn’t heard a thing about it."
"Indeed, could it be that the Goddess has mistaken the place?" another elder responded quietly.
The Tianxuan Divine Girl seemed to have heard their whispers, glanced at them, and the two fell silent, looking somewhat uneasy.
The Tianlan Saint Master quickly smoothed things over, "Goddess, please don’t blame them, these elders are usually focused on closed-door cultivation and know little of the outside world."
The Tianxuan Divine Girl softly replied, "Hmm," saying no more.
The Tianlan Saint Master awkwardly continued, "Goddess may not know, but ever since the news of you seeking a husband came out, many have imposted in our Tianlan Sacred Land. Rest assured, those imposters will be heavily punished, no leniency."
The Tianxuan Divine Girl calmly said, "I originally intended to keep this a secret to avoid trouble. I didn’t expect there to be more than twenty imposters in your sacred land, which is somewhat beyond my expectations." She glanced towards those claiming to be her fiancé.
