Han Dong and Ouyang Ye had two purposes in bringing Gu Qingfeng here this time. The first was to reassure Daozun Feiyan, so she wouldn't worry about the affairs of Yao Yue Palace.
In their plan, they only needed Gu Qingfeng to express his sincerity, to make Daozun Feiyan understand. Of course, it was acceptable for him to boast a little appropriately, as long as it could put Daozun Feiyan's mind at ease.
But what the two of them never expected was that this guy, once he started boasting, not only went on endlessly, but his boasts were so outrageous.
What destroying the Immortal Office, and after destroying the Immortal Office, destroying the Immortal Dynasty!
Heavens above!
Earth below!
Forget that this guy was just an impostor; even the real Gu Qingfeng wouldn't dare boast so wildly, would he?
Never mind whether the real Gu Qingfeng was the true successor of Monarch Chixiao; even if he was, he wouldn't dare boast like this!
Even more outrageous was him saying something about killing his way up to the Nine Heavens and destroying the old Immortal Emperor?
Forget the real Young Lord Chiyan, forget the real successor of the Monarch; even the real Monarch Chixiao himself wouldn't dare utter such grand words, would he?
Damn it.
Was this Old Nine addicted to boasting or what?
Since they were in front of Daozun Feiyan, Ouyang Ye didn't dare to reprimand him. Originally, they were worried that this guy's wild boasting might arouse Daozun Feiyan's suspicion. However, to their relief, judging from Daozun Feiyan's few words, she didn't seem suspicious. Especially her last sentence, saying this guy had a bit of the Monarch's bearing. It seemed not only was she not suspicious, but she also seemed even more convinced.
This made the stone that had been hanging in the hearts of Han Dong and Ouyang Ye gradually settle. Ouyang Ye gently patted her frightened chest, and Han Dong also secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Since Daozun Feiyan wasn't suspicious and seemed truly at ease, Ouyang Ye thought it was time to proceed with the next part of the plan: trying to see if they could resolve the knot that had been in Daozun Feiyan's heart for many years.
Ouyang Ye stood up, poured a cup of Jade Dew for Gu Qingfeng, and pretended to ask, "This... Young Lord Chiyan, since you are the only successor disciple of the old Monarch, you must know a lot about the Monarch, right?"
"Of course."
Gu Qingfeng shrugged, picked up the cup of Jade Dew, and drank it all in one gulp. "The old master told me many things."
"Many?"
Ouyang Ye pretended to be very excited and asked again, "Then did he mention Yao Yue Palace?"
"Yes, he did. Master said he was very happy during the time he lived incognito at Yao Yue Palace. He also said that if it weren't for Lady Zhuoyue and Senior Feiyan lending a helping hand back then, he would have died long ago."
"Ah! Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Gu Qingfeng said, mixing truth with falsehood, "And every time Master mentioned Yao Yue Palace, he would sigh with regret, feeling he had let down Lady Zhuoyue and also let down Daozun Feiyan..."
Hearing this, Daozun Feiyan quickly interjected, "Young Lord, please don't say that. The Monarch never let this old woman down in the slightest. On the contrary, it is this old woman who let down the Monarch... If it weren't for this old woman back then..."
Daozun Feiyan was speaking when Gu Qingfeng interrupted her, "I heard from Han Dong that you, Elder, have never been able to let go of what happened back then..."
Before Gu Qingfeng could finish his sentence, Ouyang Ye's urgent and angry voice sounded in his ears: "Old Nine! What are you doing! Why aren't you following the plan? Why are you saying these things to Daozun Feiyan? It will make her suspicious! Didn't I tell you? I ask the questions, and you answer. That way it won't seem so deliberate. How could you..."
Gu Qingfeng ignored Ouyang Ye's persuasion and continued, "Their intention was for me to come today to persuade you, and..."
"Old Nine! Are you crazy! Saying this will make Daozun Feiyan even more suspicious!"
This time, not only was Ouyang Ye unable to sit still, but even Han Dong's heart was in turmoil.
Just as Ouyang Ye had said, in their plan, the best way to resolve the knot in Daozun Feiyan's heart was to chat naturally and then slowly steer the conversation to the events of the past. That way, it wouldn't seem so deliberate. That was the original plan. But they never expected Gu Qingfeng to speak so bluntly, even revealing the purpose of their visit today. He was practically telling Daozun Feiyan that he was an impostor, that Han Dong had deliberately found someone to impersonate Young Lord Chiyan to resolve her heart's knot.
Damn it! How outrageous! How could this guy be like this!
Ouyang Ye was both angry and anxious in her heart. However, because Daozun Feiyan was present, she couldn't lash out and could only secretly transmit her voice.
Yet.
Gu Qingfeng paid no heed and continued, "Senior Feiyan, actually, you're overthinking it. My master, that is, Monarch Chixiao, never took what happened back then to heart, not even a tiny bit. Not only did he never blame you for that incident, but he was also filled with gratitude towards you."
"Back then, Monarch Chixiao was a notorious evil cultivator in the Northwest Frontier, like a rat scurrying across the street that everyone wanted to beat. He was seen as a thorn in the side by many major powers in the Northwest. Forget taking him in; even daring to speak a word with him would bring trouble upon oneself."
"Yet you, Elder, knowing full well what the consequences would be if Lady Zhuoyue took him in, still tacitly allowed it. For Monarch Chixiao back then, this was the greatest kindness, equivalent to saving his life. Without your tacit consent, Lady Zhuoyue wouldn't have dared to take him in. Without your tacit consent, Monarch Chixiao wouldn't have been able to recuperate peacefully at Yao Yue Palace."
Gu Qingfeng went on speaking on his own, completely disrupting the previous plan. This not only made Ouyang Ye extremely anxious but also left Han Dong at a loss. Especially now, the originally kind smile on Daozun Feiyan's face gradually faded, replaced by seriousness and earnestness. The eyes once filled with guilt and sorrow also gradually became filled with doubt and surprise.
"It's over, it's over! This guy is acting on his own. What do we do now!"
Ouyang Ye was burning with anxiety, thinking to herself, "If he keeps spouting nonsense like this, what if Daozun Feiyan becomes suspicious... It seems... it seems Daozun Feiyan is already starting to get suspicious..."
"Damn it! Old Nine! What nonsense are you spouting! Who told you to say that! If you dare spout any more nonsense, believe me, I'll cripple you!"
Ouyang Ye secretly transmitted her voice, roaring in anger.
Unfortunately.
Gu Qingfeng acted as if he hadn't heard a thing and continued speaking on his own, "A life-saving grace is greater than heaven. Such a great kindness, Monarch Chixiao was too grateful to even think of blaming you. Moreover, during the time he lived incognito at Yao Yue Palace, his injuries were severe, even life-threatening. It was you, Elder, who tirelessly treated and healed him day and night."
"Using the Minor Luo Heaven Formation to treat the countless wounds on his body."
"Using Black Water Quicksand to reconnect the many broken and shattered bones within his body."
"Using the Azure Cloud Soul-Restoring Formation to gently nurture his nearly dissipated Violet Palace."
"Using the Yin Moon Spirit to gently nurture his eighty-one long-dried-up Golden Cores..."
