Chapter 2519: You Havenât Taken a Fancy to That Kid, Have You?
Moments later, the Origin Secret Treasury suddenly stirred and began to shake violently.
Gu Nianshuiâs figure appeared outside, and the Origin Secret Treasury quickly shrank, becoming the size of a fist, and fell into Gu Nianshuiâs hand.
Gu Nianhai was overjoyed and stepped forward to Gu Nianshui, "How did it go?"
Gu Nianshui smiled, "Mission accomplished."
As he spoke, his aura surged, and a star appeared in the center of his forehead. Immediately, a one-horned jiao flew out from the star, circling above Gu Nianshuiâs head.
After circling for a while, the jiao returned to Gu Nianshuiâs forehead.
What Gu Nianshui displayed was the Star Lordâs mark.
This also meant that he had truly obtained the inheritance of the Horned Jiao Star Lord.
"Good, good, good!" Gu Nianhai was overjoyed, exclaiming several times.
Even as a Dao Venerate, he couldnât suppress his excitement at this moment.
Gu Nianhai said, "You did very well this time, making a great contribution to our Cold Water Holy Land."
Then he turned to Lin Moyu and the other two, "You did well too. If you want to join the Cold Water Holy Land, I can make the decision to accept you."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I am used to being free and not accustomed to being bound."
Miao Wen and Lian Cheng also said, "We are disciples of the Sin Fire Sect and cannot join the Cold Water Holy Land, but we appreciate your kindness."
Gu Nianhai was just in a good mood and said it casually. Lin Moyu and the others were not fools and would not agree.
Gu Nianhai said, "Since thatâs the case, letâs go back."
They returned the way they came, passing through the teleportation array, and returned to the Blue family in Linhai City.
It was nighttime, and the moonâs origin shone in the sky, enveloping the entire Origin Continent in a cool aura.
Gu Nianhaiâs voice echoed through Linhai City, "The ban on Linhai City is lifted, and normalcy is restored!"
In an instant, the formations in the sky disappeared, and rays of light burst out from Linhai City. The city, which had been sealed for many days, returned to its usual state.
At this moment, Gu Nianshui said, "Grandfather, I have some matters to attend to. Please wait a moment."
Now, Gu Nianhai treated Gu Nianshui like a treasure and agreed to everything.
Gu Nianshui approached Lin Moyu and took out a storage ring, "Senior Lin, this is what I promised you."
Lin Moyu accepted the storage ring without hesitation and did not check it.
With the soul vow in place, Lin Moyu was not afraid of being shortchanged.
Gu Nianhai frowned. He didnât know what his grandson had given Lin Moyu, but he didnât stop him.
He understood Gu Nianshui and knew that his grandson was sensible and wouldnât act recklessly.
Lin Moyu put away the storage ring and said to Gu Nianshui, Miao Wen, and Lian Cheng, "See you again if fate allows."
Gu Nianshui also nodded, "See you again, Senior Lin!"
"See you again, Daoist Lin."
"Feel free to visit the Sin Fire Sect!"
Lin Moyu turned into a stream of light, flew out of Linhai City, and disappeared without a trace.
Miao Wen and Lian Cheng also bid farewell and quickly flew away from Linhai City.
With Gu Nianhai, a Dao Venerate, present, they didnât want to stay long.
If they accidentally angered him, they wouldnât have anywhere to seek justice if they were killed.
After they left, Gu Nianshui sighed, "Senior Lin is truly mysterious."
Gu Nianhai asked, "Nianshui, tell me what happened in the secret treasury."
Gu Nianshui said softly, "Grandfather, I made a decision on my own. I hope you wonât blame me."
At this moment, Gu Nianshuiâs voice changed, becoming clear and pleasant.
At the same time, he was enveloped in a ball of light. When the light dissipated, Gu Nianshui had changed his appearance.
He transformed from a young master into a young lady.
A beautiful young lady with long flowing hair and an extraordinary appearance.
The treasured robe on his body also turned into an exquisite long dress.
Gu Nianhai, with a hint of doting, said, "No matter what it is, grandfather wonât blame you."
It was clear that Gu Nianhai doted on his granddaughter.
Gu Nianshui recounted the events in the Origin Secret Treasury in detail, causing Gu Nianhai to frown repeatedly.
Gu Nianhai said, "So, if Lin Moyu hadnât agreed in the end, he would have received the inheritance."
Gu Nianshui nodded, "Thatâs right. Senior Linâs killing intent was so terrifying that even the jiao senior was startled. The jiao senior asked Senior Lin how many people he had killed, and Senior Lin said he couldnât count."
Gu Nianhai frowned, "It seems this kid is very deep. He didnât want to offend our Cold Water Holy Land, nor did he want to leave empty-handed."
"Now you have received the inheritance, and he has taken everything else. Itâs probably a fortune."
"And within ten years, we canât do anything to him. Heâs really good at calculating."
Gu Nianshuiâs beautiful eyes sparkled, "Grandfather, do you remember the soul vow that Senior Lin made?"
Gu Nianhai asked curiously, "Why do you ask?"
Gu Nianshui said, "When I saw Senior Linâs expression at that time, I suspected he did something to the soul vow."
"Impossible. No one can do anything in front of me." Gu Nianhai naturally didnât believe it. As a Dao Venerate, if Lin Moyu dared to tamper with the soul vow, he would have noticed.
However, under his beloved granddaughterâs repeated requests, Gu Nianhai still took out a jade stone.
This jade stone had the function of recording images. When Gu Nianhai came to investigate the Blue family, he had kept the recording function on.
When everyone made their soul vows, Gu Nianhai did not turn it off. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.
They quickly found the soul vow made by Lin Moyu.
"I swear that I will not actively participate in the competition for the Star Lordâs inheritance in the Origin Secret Treasury. If I break this vow, my soul will be severely damaged, and my cultivation will be destroyed."
Gu Nianshui listened to it twice and said softly, "At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but upon careful analysis, there are many issues."
Gu Nianhai also sensed something was wrong, "Indeed, there are some clever tricks. Nianshui, tell me, whatâs the problem?"
Gu Nianshui analyzed, "First, Senior Lin said he would not actively participate in the competition for the Star Lordâs inheritance. So, if he really wanted the inheritance, he could have found me and killed me as soon as he entered."
"At that time, the competition for the Star Lordâs inheritance hadnât started, so he wouldnât be breaking his vow. But thatâs just one point; thereâs more."
"Senior Lin said that if he broke the vow, his soul would be severely damaged, and his cultivation would be destroyed, but he didnât say he would die."
"Maybe Senior Lin has a way to repair his soul and restore his cultivation."
"We have such pills in our Holy Land, and Senior Lin might have them too."
"If thatâs the case, the soul vow doesnât really bind Senior Lin. It depends on whether he wants to comply."
Gu Nianshuiâs analysis was thorough, and Gu Nianhai smiled, "Nianshui has grown up and become smarter."
Gu Nianshui gently shook his head, "My little cleverness is nothing compared to Senior Lin. Fortunately, I didnât really provoke him this time; otherwise, I might have died in the secret treasury."
Gu Nianhai laughed, "No, if heâs as smart as you say, he wouldnât dare kill you, knowing that your grandfather is outside."
Gu Nianshui said, "No, I think Senior Lin might have other means. He might not be able to defeat you, but he should have ways to save his life under your hand."
Gu Nianhai dismissed it, "My dear granddaughter, youâre overestimating that kid. No matter how powerful he is, heâs just a low-level Heavenly Venerate."
Gu Nianshui said, "Itâs not overestimating; itâs just my intuition. You know my intuition is usually very accurate."
"But âusuallyâ doesnât mean âalways.â This time, your intuition might be wrong." Gu Nianhai maintained his view. Although he admitted Lin Moyu was excellent, he didnât think he was that formidable.
Suddenly, Gu Nianhai thought of a possibility, "My dear granddaughter, you havenât taken a fancy to that kid, have you?"
Gu Nianshuiâs eyes widened, "Grandfather, if you keep talking nonsense, Iâll tell grandmother!"
