Chapter 599 Unexpected Guest
"Gu Qingjue."
The saint spoke to verify Ranran's guess.
"Wu Shan has an unexpected guest."
The Saint's voice did not change at all, but Ranran heard emotions in it that were different from when she was talking to her. The Saint really liked Gu Qingjue.
At least, I really like Gu Qingjue's appearance.
Ranran was still quite surprised. She was surprised that she could accurately guess that the person in front of her was Gu Qingjue.
What allowed Ranran to come to such an accurate conclusion was her intuition.
This strange intuition not only came from the first time she saw Gu Qingjue, but also from the feeling when she saw Wu Ning's vague shadow in the thick and impenetrable fog before Ranran entered this world!
These two people give her similar feelings!
A bold guess gradually formed in her mind.
Was it true that from the very beginning, when Wu Ning let her enter this world, what he had to "observe and identify" was not just her own characteristics.
But it includes Wu Ning and even others!
But if we follow this line of reasoning, it means... Wu Ning knew her before.
He knew her before her reincarnation was reversed, the one who had all her memories!
If we simply divide her life into past and present lives...
Then, in this life, she picked up Wu Ning and Xiao Hei Shu in the mountains. Does this have something to do with her in her previous life? Or maybe Wu Ning and Xiao Hei Shu came to her in this life because of her influence in her previous life!
Ranran was unable to sort out her thoughts from this shocking situation. Her breathing became heavy and the sounds in her ears seemed to hit her eardrums like a hammer.
"What's wrong?"
The saint's voice called back Ranran's attention, and the gradually dispersing scenery in front of him began to gather again.
Ranran was surprised. Gu Qingjue, who was so attractive to the Saint, was standing in the audience, but the Saint ignored him and cared about her situation.
But no matter what, the cold voice of the saint made Ranran sober up a lot, and she exhaled deeply.
"I suddenly thought of something. It's okay. Don't disturb the good thing of you and Gu Qingjue reuniting after a long separation."
Ranran regained her senses and tried her best to say something appropriate, but the saint, who always liked to hear good words from her, was not very happy at this time. On the contrary, she lowered her eyes coldly.
"Is it good?"
"not necessarily."
After the saint finished speaking, she ignored Ranran's reaction and cast a half-smiley look at Gu Qingjue in the audience.
"Mr. Gu, what do you think? Are you here as a guest of Wushan, or..."
The saint's unfinished intention was very obvious, so naturally the others didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
There was no ambiguity in Gu Qingjue's stance, it was very simple. He came to plead for Luo Haocang and even to support him, which was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Saint. It was not difficult to understand why the Saint would treat him like this. People just didn't understand why Gu Qingjue did this.
Is it because we are all one of the seven major sects of the host alliance?
Several voices gradually emerged among the crowd.
"I've heard that Gu Qingjue is good in every way except that he is old-fashioned and doesn't know how to adapt. Does he really think that the current Zhongzhou is still the same as before, and that the Demon Realm is an existence that all other forces need to unite to resist... Things have changed a long time ago!"
"Fellow Daoist Gu Qingjue is indeed a bit unreasonable... Even Luo Haocang, whom he wanted to protect, has sent Luo Jinghua and Luo Pingyang to Wushan to select his retainers. This already represents the attitude of the Luo family, but Fellow Daoist Gu Qingjue still insists on his original opinion. It is really puzzling." "Don't make up stories about Fellow Daoist Gu Qingjue like this. He hasn't said or done anything yet. Maybe he is not here to plead for Luo Haocang at all."
"How is that possible!" Yun Qingxi couldn't help but interrupt after listening for a long time, "Didn't you see him just standing next to Luo Haocang? Didn't he go anywhere?"
"If he really came to make friends with the Saint, he wouldn't have had such a cold face and said nothing until now."
Xiao Yiyang also watched the excitement for a long time, and at this moment his attention was all on other places.
"Are none of you curious about how Gu Qingjue came to Wushan?"
"Think about how we got here in the first place. Without the permission of the Saint, it is impossible for outsiders to find Wushan on their own."
After Xiao Yi Yang said this, many people's attention was immediately diverted. At least the number of people who were indignant and accused Gu Qingjue of not standing on the side of the Saint decreased a lot.
Ran Ran couldn't help but touch her nose when she observed this situation. She clearly remembered that Gu Qingjue had a very high reputation among these young people before.
Luo Jinghua was merely as famous as him, but he was already sought after by many people. Even Xiao Yiyang couldn't help but follow him and flatter him. If Gu Qingjue also participated in the Wushan selection like Luo Jinghua, Ranran had no doubt that these young men would willingly give up their places to Gu Qingjue.
Because Gu Qingjue is the most outstanding among his peers in their opinion, and the Saint should naturally be matched with the best.
But Ranran never expected that even with such strong recognition, he would still be defeated in front of the saint.
These young men did not hesitate to beat Gu Qingjue to the opposing camp simply because he did not show friendly attitude towards the Saint at the first opportunity.
In Ranran's opinion, the saint was not just preaching to them and giving them drugs to eat, the saint was a complete succubus!
It is inevitable for others who don't know the inside story to think this way, but Ranran knows the inside story. She knows the little-known relationship between the Saint and Gu Qingjue.
Therefore, she became the most confused person present.
The saint clearly likes Gu Qingjue, so why does she treat him like this?
Why did Gu Qingjue treat the saint so coldly as if she were his enemy?
Did their breakup really leave such a deep shadow on each other?
There were so many things to think about that Ranran felt his head was a mess.
Everyone's anger towards Gu Qingjue had just calmed down a little, but Gu Qingjue stirred up the anger again as soon as he opened his mouth.
"The Saint knows exactly why Gu came here."
"Even if Patriarch Luo has a lot of bad intentions, the host alliance needs to come up with a reasonable solution. Saint Wushan can't make the decision anyway."
The Saint did not respond to this, but just raised her eyebrows, "You are well-informed."
Gu Qingjue lowered his eyelids upon hearing that. His long eyelashes cast an alluring arc under his eyes, as if they were covered with a faint fragrance of ice, making people want to find out more even if it meant enduring the extreme cold.
"Gu just made some assumptions, and the Saint did not let me down." Gu Qingjue said in a low voice.
Ranran's heart ached, and she understood almost instantly why Gu Qingjue was so attractive to the saint.
Because Gu Qingjue is so beautiful!
Even though what he said now was very, very unpleasant to the ear, he was really good-looking!
It's not just that he's good-looking according to the saint's aesthetic taste, but as the saint said, anyone who has seen him will admit that he's good-looking.
The Saint raised the corner of her lips indifferently. She tilted her head and looked at Ran Ran, "Do you understand what I mean now?"
"His coming to Wushan is definitely not a good thing. After all, he once swore that he would never set foot in Wushan."
The Saint said coldly: "He has always been a man of his word. Now that he has broken his own oath, it can only mean that in his eyes, what is about to happen is more important than his oath and his principles."
"He traveled thousands of miles to come here to see me, who disgusts him."
