Chapter 1720: Chapter 1720: Some Rebellious Psychology
“What am I doing? I would like to ask you what **you** want to do, Junior Brother Gu. If you wish to go mad, then leave the Qingyun Sect and be as mad as you like, but don’t drag our Qingyun Sect into it. Our Qingyun Sect still wishes to establish a footing in the Feather Abyss Plane!”
The sect master said to the Great Elder with a stern voice.
“You…”
The Great Elder was choked up for a moment and then thought of Mo Zheng’s identity.
Although not a member of the royal family, Mo Zheng hailed from the Mo family, the most prominent clan of the Feather Abyss Plane. When people said they were wealthy enough to rival nations, it was no mere figure of speech.
Moreover, Mo Zheng was the direct eldest son within the direct lineage of the Mo family.
“Even if his status is high, so what? He killed my granddaughter, my Qingyu!” he said with hatred.
Was his precious granddaughter supposed to have died in vain? She was the child he doted on from a young age, the highly talented child of the Gu Family. To have her gone just like that, how could he possibly accept it?
“Both you and I are in the Qingyun Sect. How would you know what happened outside?” the sect master questioned him.
What exactly happened, nobody knew. They could only wait for Mo Zheng and the others to return before they could find out why Gu Qingyu had died. To jump to conclusions now would be premature, wouldn’t it?
“And how can you be so sure that it was Mo Zheng who harmed Gu Qingyu?”
“I…”
The Great Elder opened his mouth but found nothing to say.
“When Gu Qingyu originally decided to leave the sect with Zheng’er for experience, I did not agree. It was you who insisted on forcing Zheng’er to take her along. Now that she’s gone, are you shifting all the responsibility onto Zheng’er’s shoulders?
The Great Elder really does have quite the nerve. Could it be that you were not at fault? If it hadn’t been for your insistence back then, Gu Qingyu would still be safe by your side! Why would she have gone outside to meet her demise?”
The sect master spoke very impolitely to the Great Elder.
He had said before that Gu Qingyu leaving the sect would only lead to trouble, yet the Great Elder wouldn’t listen. Now that it had come to this, with her life lost and not even knowing what had happened, maybe Mo Zheng and the others had encountered some difficulties.
“You—”
The Great Elder was about to explode with rage at the sect master’s assertion that his granddaughter went outside to court death.
But the person opposite him was the sect master, his senior brother, so he didn’t quite dare. After all, his abilities were not as significant as his senior brother’s; otherwise, he would have been the heir to the position of sect master of Qingyun Sect all those years ago.
He placed one hand behind his back, clutching it tightly. His anger was suppressed deep within his heart, held firmly in check, as though it could potentially kill him from the inside.
“Fine, we’ll discuss the matter of Qingyu further when Mo Zheng returns. I want to see for myself how he caused Qingyu to lose her life!”
He swung his sleeve forcefully and turned to leave.
“Hmph!”
The sect master also snorted lightly.
The matter of Gu Qingyu was uncertain now, and they could only wait for the people to return.
And now…
“Ensure the Everlasting Lamp of Gu Qingyu is carefully preserved,” he instructed Brother Hao before leaving as well.
The Great Elder almost came to blows with him today. The Gu surname has always carried a sense of rebellion, and now it had become even more pronounced. He had to go back and prepare early.
…
Two days had passed in the Zhedu Sea Area.
The poison within the space was finally absorbed completely, and the pill-refining furnace had been cleaned by Wei Na several times to ensure not a trace of poison remained.
In the room, An Jiuyue took the medicinal furnace out from the space and placed it on the table.
Alongside, all sorts of medicinal ingredients were already prepared. This was the scene that Qian Jiyun encountered as he pushed the door open and entered.
