Smoke Desert City, originally belonging to Wang Xiu's City Lord Mansion, was now temporarily serving as the base for the Holy Emperor Hall's branch.
Why didn't Gu Changsheng just wave his hand and build a luxurious palace?
Establishing a branch was just a whim for him, mainly to train this girl, Tuoba Beryl. If she wanted something, she had to fight for it herself.
At this moment, Tuoba Beryl was listlessly趴 on the table, playing with the Endless Wine Gourd, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.
"Stinky Uncle-Master, bad Uncle-Master, ah... it's so boring. When I get back, I'll tell Master you bullied me and let her scold you!"
Tuoba Beryl muttered resentfully, but the most ruthless thing she could think of was to have Houtu scold Gu Changsheng, which was not even close compared to a certain rebellious disciple.
"The little girl from back then is now starting to dislike her Uncle-Master. Alas, I even specially found you a helper. It seems I was just being sentimental."
At this time, Gu Changsheng and Yao Xian walked in, while Ling Wu quietly followed behind them.
Finished!
Tuoba Beryl suddenly stood up, her face flushed with shame, and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"That... Uncle-Master, I was just joking."
Tuoba Beryl looked at Gu Changsheng pitifully.
Gu Changsheng looked at her with a smile and said, "But why do I feel like the whole room is filled with resentment?"
"Is there? No, no, Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master, please have tea... please have wine!"
Tuoba Beryl hurriedly wanted to pour tea and water, but found that there were only teacups and no tea, so she had to pour wine from the wine gourd and respectfully presented it to Gu Changsheng and Yao Xian.
"Go, go, go, the mouth of that gourd is full of your saliva. Are you toasting or punishing us?"
Gu Changsheng directly rejected Tuoba Beryl's kindness.
"Uh... hehehe."
Tuoba Beryl was also stunned for a moment before realizing that her actions were inappropriate. She quickly drank the wine in the cup and even said, "Can't waste it," which made Yao Xian shake her head repeatedly.
"I don't know if you are Houtu-jiejie's disciple or Changsheng's disciple, such good wine," Yao Xian said with a smile.
"Hee hee, with the relationship between Master and Uncle-Master, it's all the same, all the same," Tuoba Beryl quickly picked up on Yao Xian's topic so that Uncle-Master would not have a chance to scold her.
I'm so smart!
"Don't take the opportunity to change the subject," Gu Changsheng saw through this girl's little thoughts at a glance and bluntly exposed them.
"Uncle-Master, I know I was wrong. As long as you spare me, I will obediently manage the affairs of the branch in the future," Tuoba Beryl said coquettishly.
"That's what you should be doing," Gu Changsheng glared at her, but he couldn't bear to scold her, so he said, "Don't do it again."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"
Tuoba Beryl was overjoyed.
"Uncle-Master, is this the helper you found for me?"
At this time, Tuoba Beryl finally noticed Ling Wu behind Gu Changsheng. She couldn't see through Ling Wu's cultivation, but since he could catch Uncle-Master's eye, his cultivation must be good, at least a Quasi-Supreme of the Guiyi realm.
"That's right," Gu Changsheng nodded, then gave Ling Wu a look.
Ling Wu understood and stepped forward to Tuoba Beryl and said, "This humble one is Ling Wu, from Lingchen Pavilion. Please give me your guidance in the future, Holy Maiden!"
"Lingchen Pavilion?"
A strange look flashed across Tuoba Beryl's face. Previously, Elder Mu of the Sand Star Sect mentioned the relationship between the Sect Master of the Sand Star Sect and Lingchen Pavilion. At that time, she was angry and didn't pay much attention to it. Now, suddenly hearing that Ling Wu was from Lingchen Pavilion, she immediately thought of the Sand Star Sect.
"Ling Shaxing is my孽徒. I have failed to teach him, allowing him to wreak havoc in the Northwest Desert for decades. This trip to the Northwest Desert is precisely to atone for my rebellious disciple. Having learned that His Majesty the Holy Emperor intends to establish a branch of the Holy Emperor Hall to educate all living beings, this humble one is willing to do my best."
Ling Wu spoke in a literary manner, making it difficult for Tuoba Beryl to imagine that Ling Shaxing would be his disciple.
A scholar teaching a rogue disciple?
If this plot is written into my book, I wonder if it will add some color?
Tuoba Beryl subconsciously wanted to take out a pen and paper to record, but she felt a familiar gaze looking at her, which immediately brought her back to her senses. She said seriously, "Educate all living beings?"
She was puzzled. Uncle-Master hadn't told her about such a lofty goal.
"This is what I concluded!" Ling Wu said.
Gu Changsheng pulled Yao Xian to sit aside, watching Ling Wu with great interest. On the way, Gu Changsheng had already transmitted the information about the Holy Emperor Hall to Ling Wu. Since he had decided to let Ling Wu assist Tuoba Beryl, he naturally had to inform him about the Holy Emperor Hall. However, he didn't expect Ling Wu to give such a high evaluation of the Holy Emperor Hall.
Educate all living beings?
Gu Changsheng recalled his life, from preaching to the Human Race and being revered as the Holy Emperor, to proving the Dao and becoming Emperor, establishing the Ancient Starry Sky Road, benefiting all races, and becoming the Eternal Emperor admired by all races in the mortal world.
Could this be considered educating all living beings?
Gu Changsheng didn't feel anything. At that time, he did these things entirely based on his inner thoughts. As for fame and fortune, he never considered them.
Gu Changsheng shook his head. He didn't want to think about these things before, and now these things were not worthy of his thoughts.
Yao Xian leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "He's right!"
Ling Wu's words were equivalent to praising her man, and sincerely praising him in front of her. She didn't have Gu Changsheng's state of mind, and she was very happy after hearing it.
If her strength allowed, she would have wanted everyone in the heavens and myriad worlds to know how amazing her man was.
And Tuoba Beryl was intrigued by Ling Wu's words, and she asked Ling Wu to continue.
Ling Wu was not restrained and spoke eloquently about his views on the Holy Emperor Hall.
Ling Wu, as a True Immortal, was unattainable for countless creatures in the Northwest Desert, but he was willing to lower his status and come to the Northwest Desert to atone for Ling Shaxing, which showed how upright his character was.
In his opinion, the various viewpoints and ideas of the Holy Emperor Hall were positive for the vast majority of cultivators.
At the same time, although he was upright, he was not rigid.
He did not find the Holy Emperor Hall's plan to unify the heavens and myriad worlds unacceptable.
Admittedly, countless creatures would bleed in this process, but if someone could unify the heavens and myriad worlds, and the heavens were interconnected, and cultivators from myriad worlds could freely communicate, what a glorious age that would be?
Under such a glorious age, even cultivators with low talents would have unlimited possibilities. His trip was to atone for his sins, and if he could participate in creating a glorious age, that would be the most effective way to atone for his sins.
Ling Wu's words were sonorous and forceful, and even Gu Changsheng looked at him with new eyes.
Gu Changsheng looked at Yao Xian and smiled, "Seems like we found a treasure?"
"Remove the 'seems' and your questioning tone," Yao Xian said affirmatively.
