Upon hearing Jiang Qiongâs words, Gu An frowned and then sighed, âHow can I persuade you? Itâs true that Su Han was indeed forced to death by the Ghost Mother of Ephemera.â
That year, when Su Han was pursued and had no choice but to follow the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, she taught him the Defying Fate Divine Skill. Before his death, he transferred his cultivation level to Zhen Qin, helping Zhen Qin to be reborn. After so many years, Zhen Qin always remembered the hatred in her heart.
Gu An had long severed the master-disciple relationship with Su Han and had even saved him, owing Su Han nothing, so he did not plan to take revenge for Su Han.
Moreover, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had already pledged allegiance to him. If not for his arrangement, how could the Ghost Mother of Ephemera have helped Jiang Qiong establish the Juhua Sect?
Gu An would not help Zhen Qin kill the Ghost Mother of Ephemera but would ensure her survival.
Perhaps it was unfair to the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, but there was no helping it. In Gu Anâs heart, Zhen Qin was definitely more important than the Ghost Mother of Ephemera.
Out of his first batch of Medicine Valley Disciples, only Zhen Qin was still alive, and since she was very filial to him, how could he not favor her?
Jiang Qiong frowned and said, âThe Ghost Mother of Ephemera is now the Deputy Sect Master of the Juhua Sect; itâs impossible for me to confront her.â
âThereâs no need. Everyone has their own grudges. Your protection of Zhen Qinâs life is enough; thank you.â
Gu An spoke earnestly and then raised his hand to salute Jiang Qiong.
Jiang Qiong snorted and said, âWhat thanks? Your business is my business. I quite like that girl Zhen Qin too. Once Iâm strong enough, Iâll help her slaughter the Ghost Mother of Ephemera.â
Gu An was taken aback and asked, âDo you have a grudge against her?â
âNo grudge, but if I had to choose between you and her, I would definitely choose you. However, these are all things for later, once I have the ability,â Jiang Qiong shook her head.
Afterwards, she talked about the insights she gained in the Jiuyuan World.
Since her journey in the Jiuyuan World, she had many revelations during her cultivation, particularly about divination.
She could now peer into the cause and effect of mortals to deduce their fate.
She was curious if Gu An had gained anything.
Gu An replied that he had, but his fortunes were not as great as hers, which left her slightly disappointed.
After night had fallen, Jiang Qiong took Gu An to the Eight Scenic Caves.
âWhy insist on going to the Eight Scenic Caves? Just stay at my Third Medicine Valley. Now that youâre a giant of the Righteous Path, having formed an alliance with Supreme Sect, they wonât stop you from entering Supreme Sect.â
Walking through the forest, Gu An couldnât help asking.
Jiang Qiong, holding his right wrist, didnât look back and said, âThe Eight Scenic Caves are our home.â
âWhat home? You want to live in a coffin?â
Hearing Gu Anâs words, Jiang Qiong couldnât help but turn around and glare at him.
In the end, Gu An couldnât resist Jiang Qiong and was pulled into the Eight Scenic Caves with her.

It wasnât until noon the next day that Gu An finally returned to the Third Medicine Valley.
As he arrived at his own loft, Ji Xiaoyu stepped out of the door.
Forty years ago, Ji Xiaoyu had returned. Her understanding of the Way of Cause and Effect far surpassed that of An Xin, Long Qing, Ye Lan, and others. Gu An could feel the force of cause and effect growing stronger within her.
âWho did you fool around with last night?â Ji Xiaoyu stared at Gu An, asking with a somewhat cold voice.
Gu An looked at her and replied, âWith an old friend. When I knew her, you werenât even born yet. If not for her guidance, where would I be today?â
His words were no joke; Jiang Qiong had taught him so much.
Among them, the Demon Shadow Divine Skill was the most important. Under Gu Anâs enhancement, this skill could now isolate cause and effect.
Reaching the Immortal Path Realm, many would start to delve into divination techniques, and to rise to the Carefree Primordial Immortal Realm was to study the Way of Cause and Effect. Without Jiang Qiongâs Demon Shadow Divine Skill, perhaps Gu Anâs true cultivation level would have been discovered long ago.
Hearing his words, Ji Xiaoyuâs expression softened, and she was about to continue speaking but was preempted by him.
âFocus on your immortal cultivation, and donât bother with the affairs of mortal romance.â
Having said that, Gu An quickly ascended the stairs.
Ji Xiaoyu watched him go up, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
As Gu An entered the room, ready to close the door, Ji Xiaoyu appeared out of nowhere, pressing her hand against the door.
âWhat are you doing?â Gu An frowned at Ji Xiaoyu, a look of fear on his face.
Ji Xiaoyu stepped forward expressionlessly, startling him into stepping back.
Bang!
After Ji Xiaoyu entered the room, the door closed heavily behind her.
Gu An kept retreating until he reached the table, looking at Ji Xiaoyuâs expressionless face with trepidation.
What did this woman want to do?
Was she going to hit him or was she trying to learn from Jiang Qiong?
Just thinking about last nightâs chaos gave Gu An a headache.
Sigh!
Why were so many women interested in him?
Even if he refused, it wouldnât work.
Ji Xiaoyu walked up to him and said, âOver these years, Iâve been delving into the Way of Cause and Effect and have discovered that your disciple Long Qing has extraordinary karma. Where exactly did you find him? Do you know his true identity?â
Hearing this, Gu An asked in astonishment, âExtraordinary karma? What do you mean? Whatâs wrong with him? Could he be the reincarnation of a Heavenly Demon?â
Ji Xiaoyu scrutinized Gu Anâs expression, feeling that he did not seem to be lying.
Her expression softened as she said, âWhether he is a Heavenly Demon or not is yet to be determined. You keeping him by your side is sure to bring you disaster. Otherwise, hand him over to me, or let Shen Xinzi take him to the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect.â
âThat doesnât seem right. Heâs grown up in the Third Medicine Valley since he was a child. How could I possibly drive him away?â Gu An frowned.
Ji Xiaoyu took a deep breath and said, âHis lineage is not simple; I can feel that my Primordial Daoist Talisman is very wary of his karma and unwilling to intervene. Iâm not joking. Donât you want to live in peace forever?â
Gu An thought to himself, of course his lineage isnât simple; heâs my descendant from a past life!
Gu An asked, âDoes that elder also know about this?â
He was referring to the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor.
That rascal was still inside the house recuperating and did not eavesdrop on their conversation.
âPerhaps,â Ji Xiaoyu replied, her face showing some impatience, unsure if it was because of Long Qing or Jiang Qiong.
Gu An clenched the Fate Determining Pen in his hand and, after hesitating for a moment, said, âNo, I canât abandon him. He sees me as a father; how could I banish him? So what if thereâs a great karma? Maybe by the day I die, he will not have faced his karmic retribution yet.â
Looking at Gu Anâs determined face, Ji Xiaoyu felt frustrated. Why was this man so stubborn?
âWhat if he brings catastrophe to the entire Medicine Valley, or even to the Supreme Sect?â Ji Xiaoyu asked with suppressed anger.
Gu An said sternly, âYour karma is not simple, either. If you encountered trouble, would I have to avoid you to prevent misunderstandings?â
âImpossible! I canât do it! I, Gu An, am not that kind of person!â
His words rang with conviction, causing Ji Xiaoyuâs expression to soften.
Indeed, women will be women, always finding an excuse to get going.
Gu An was sure that Ji Xiaoyu was simply jealous of Jiang Qiong.
Ji Xiaoyu huffed, âYou always say nice things. If that day really comes, I bet youâll run faster than anyone.â
Gu An clutched his chest, feigning heartache, and said, âYou actually think that of meâŠâ
Ji Xiaoyu couldnât help but smother a laugh, giving him a look. She walked beside Gu An, a book appearing in her hand, which she placed on the table.
Gu An fixed his eyes on it.
It only had one character.
Dragon!
Ji Xiaoyu explained, âThis is a book I dreamed of in my past life. The Reincarnation Path Emperor was even holding it. It records the evolution of a family clan. You like this kind of book, donât you? Take a look, but do not spread it around.â
Gu An couldnât help asking, âDragon? It wouldnât be related to Long Qing, would it?â
Ji Xiaoyu did not elaborate and turned to leave.
When she closed the door this time, she wasnât as forceful, gently shutting it.
