Chapter 573 Being tricked
As the ruler of a palace, is this how you talk to people?
Lin Que rolled his eyes in anger and asked indignantly, "Palace Master Gu, aren't you afraid that I, a lowly woman, will ruin the reputation of Qingyue Immortal Palace?"
Moreover, because he was so angry, Lin Que emphasized the word "bitch" very heavily!
To everyone's surprise, Gu Qingrou waved her hand dismissively, not caring at all.
"What does reputation matter as long as the disciples of Qingyue Immortal Palace can survive the calamities to come?"
"Moreover, I believe that given the character of the disciples of my Qingyue Immortal Palace, the cultivators of Fengtian Continent would only blame Fellow Daoist Lin."
"Anyway, Fellow Daoist Lin is already used to these things, isn't he?"
At this moment, Lin Que was finally speechless!
I was so angry I wanted to yell something, but I just didn't know how to say it...
And so, the two talked in the hall for an unknown amount of time, but no matter what Gu Qingrou said, Lin Que refused to agree to take over the position of Qingyue Palace Master in the future.
“I appreciate Palace Master Gu’s kindness, but I am truly not interested in the position of Palace Master.”
"I'm used to being free and don't want to be restricted in any way!"
"You asked me earlier, if Li Yao weren't a disciple of Qingyue Immortal Palace, would I still have taken action?"
"This question simply doesn't exist!"
"Since you yourself said that you understand Li Yao's personality very well, how could she possibly leave Qingyue Immortal Palace?"
"As long as she is alive, Qingyue Immortal Palace will be safe."
"Besides, how could a man ever become the Palace Master of Qingyue Palace? Isn't this a rule passed down from yourselves?"
Lin Que said with a speechless expression!
He really didn't want to be this damn palace mistress; he was much more comfortable being free!
There's no way around it; he's had enough of being a beast of burden on Earth, and now that he's in the cultivation world, he wants to be a beast of burden again, right? Or maybe his subordinates or disciples will have to do it.
He won't do it!
"Rules are rigid, but they can be changed!" Gu Qingrou waved her hand and launched into another lecture.
But Lin Que remained the same as always, refusing to agree!
Finally, having no other choice, Gu Qingrou could only sigh and say, "Alright, since Fellow Daoist Lin is unwilling, then I will not force you."
"But please accept my other invitation and become a guest elder of my Qingyue Immortal Palace!"
"I suppose Fellow Daoist Lin won't refuse this request again?"
"And Fellow Daoist Lin, rest assured!"
"As a guest elder, all my actions are not restricted by the palace, and I can even mobilize the resources of Qingyue Immortal Palace."
"This is entirely beneficial to Fellow Daoist Lin."
"All we have to do is lend a helping hand when Qingyue Immortal Palace is in trouble!"
"Is this okay?"
After saying that, Gu Qingrou took out a token made of cold iron from her bosom and tossed it to Lin Que.
Seeing this, Lin Que reached out and caught it!
However, the moment Lin Que held the token in his hand, he felt a slight warmth still lingering on it...
Then, for some unknown reason, Lin Que inexplicably put the token to his nose and took a deep sniff. Immediately, a faint fragrance lingered around his nose.
"Hi~!"
Passing through the lungs!
Good smell......
This scene instantly caused Gu Qingrou's pupils to dilate dramatically!
A blush quickly crept up from her snow-white, jade-like neck to her cheeks, making her look incredibly red!
Wait, something doesn't seem right!
Damn it? !
Lin Que suddenly widened his eyes!
Realizing what he had done, he hurriedly and awkwardly explained, "Uh...that...oops! No, that's not right!"
"Palace Master Gu!"
"Please, please let me explain!"
"It's all a misunderstanding!"
"I don't know what happened. I might have been briefly possessed by someone just now."
"But Palace Master Gu, please rest assured!"
"I got it back!"
Fearing that Gu Qingrou wouldn't believe him, Lin Que patted his chest forcefully, his face full of seriousness.
To this, Gu Qingrou, blushing, simply spat lightly: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lin, besides being shameless, would also be so thick-skinned!"
"Having such a hobby... never mind!"
"Then Fellow Daoist Lin must have agreed, right?"
Hearing Gu Qingrou's ambiguous words, Lin Que knew that she didn't really blame him, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
Mudd!
I feel like I've become a pervert.
Since there was no blame, Lin Que shook his head and then noticed that there were words engraved on both sides of the token!
After glancing at both sides, Lin Que raised his head and said dejectedly, "It seems that Palace Master Gu had prepared for this all along, hadn't he?"
What else can I say?
Upon hearing this, a beautiful smile immediately appeared on Gu Qingrou's pretty face, which had been flushed.
"Then Qingyue Immortal Palace welcomes Fellow Daoist Lin to join us!"
Gu Qingrou's smile was unlike any other woman's; it was gentle, yet possessed an indescribable mature charm, leaving Lin Que, who was accustomed to seeing the smiles of countless beautiful women, momentarily captivated...
Seeing Lin Que's appearance, Gu Qingrou's blush, which was about to fade, returned!
For some inexplicable reason, he asked softly, "Does it smell good?"
"Xiang...uh...no!" Lin Que immediately realized what he meant, his expression turning serious again as he solemnly said to Gu Qingrou, "Palace Master Gu, please let me explain again!"
"You might not believe it, but that old bastard just tried to possess me again!"
Seeing Lin Que spouting nonsense with such a straight face, Gu Qingrou rolled her eyes speechlessly and quickly waved her hand at Lin Que!
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Lin, you may leave now."
"Don't keep Li Yao waiting outside. Don't we still need to see Empress Shuangyue?"
Little did people know, her eye roll had a unique charm!
Upon hearing this, Lin Que dared not linger any longer, fearing that he might do something even more perverse.
He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "In that case... um... Palace Master Gu."
"I'll be going now!"
Having said that, Lin Que, holding the token in his hand, immediately turned and ran away!
As for why he said Gu Qingrou was prepared, it was because the token was inscribed with the words "Guest Elder".
On the back, it is engraved with "Lin Que"!
Clearly, Gu Qingrou had planned everything out in advance.
Of course, Gu Qingrou would probably be even happier if Lin Que readily agreed to become the Palace Master of Qingyue Palace!
Watching Lin Que's hurried and comical back, Gu Qingrou laughed again!
Gu Qingrou thought that because he was facing away, Lin Que wouldn't see her smile, but to her surprise, he suddenly turned around, catching her off guard!
However, Lin Que was not as captivated by Gu Qingrou's smile as before. Instead, he spoke to her with a serious expression.
"Palace Master Gu, you just asked me whether I believe in fate."
“My answer is…”
"Do not believe!"
"You should know that the path of cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens. If you were to believe in that so-called will of heaven..."
"Then it's better not to cultivate immortality at all!"
"As for why I nodded just now, it's because, as an ordinary person, I might have believed it..."
Having said that, Lin Que didn't linger. He turned around and left the stunned Gu Qingrou outside the main hall.
"Going against the will of Heaven?"
"Fellow Daoist Lin."
"It seems I was too persistent and forgot that there were thorns on this path."
After a long while, a faint sound echoed through the hall...
"Sigh, I got tricked by this woman!" After leaving the main hall, Lin Que couldn't help but touch his nose.
Yes, that faint fragrance is still there.
"Lin Que, what did you and Master talk about just now?" At this moment, Li Yao, who was waiting not far away, suddenly walked over and asked, seeing Lin Que's somewhat abnormal behavior.
"Ahem~!"
"No...nothing!"
Upon seeing Li Yao approach, Lin Que quickly lowered his hand and changed the subject, saying, "Um... by the way, Li Yao!"
"My time is a bit tight, could you take me to see Empress Frostmoon?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yao had no doubts and immediately smiled and said, "Of course, no problem! My relationship with my senior uncle is very good!"
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Li Yao led Feng Jiuyou and Lin Que back the way they came...
