Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 32: Worried Qi Yuan

"Senior Brother!"

A clear voice came.

Qi Yuan put on his clothes and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Yawning, he glanced at the black fish in the fish tank and walked out of the courtyard.

"What's wrong so early in the morning?"

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Lingsu and Jiang Ran stood side by side, one innocent and lovely, the other elegant and beautiful.

Qi Yuan felt a wave of relief in his mood.

Indeed, beautiful things always make one's mood pleasant.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, I have good news to share with you!" Jiang Ran's face was filled with a smile. "Yesterday, a disciple of the Black Mountain Sect stayed overnight in Rongcheng and was killed by a mysterious expert! Chu Tianxiong is dead, and Bai Ji Lao Zu is dead too!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's face was filled with excitement.

Qi Yuan slapped his thigh. "I didn't expect my divination skills to be so powerful!"

However, he thought of something and changed his words. "I said I'm good at divination. I could see at a glance that the kid would meet a bloody disaster. See, he didn't listen to me and ended up dead. He deserved it!"

Jiang Lingsu, seeing this, smiled helplessly. "I really don't know who the expert is, but they have done such a great thing!"

"I heard that today, a Black Mountain Sect elder happened to arrive nearby to investigate the scene. And last night, our Divine Light Sect also sent elders to Rongcheng. Although the scene was burned, they have already obtained many clues."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's heart tightened slightly. "What clues?"

"The one who slaughtered the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect was a masked person. The elders said that the mysterious masked person should be a sword cultivator. However, in order to avoid leaving traces of their Dao techniques, they deliberately used a knife to kill the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect." Jiang Lingsu paid close attention to the news within the Divine Light Sect and knew a lot.

"What kind of knife?"

"I don't know." Jiang Lingsu shook her head.

"It can't be a kitchen knife, right?" Qi Yuan took out a knife and waved it.

Jiang Lingsu covered her mouth and chuckled. "How is that possible!"

Jiang Ran's innocent face also smiled, and a hint of charm naturally appeared in her smile. "If they were killed by a kitchen knife, that would be frustrating and satisfying!"

Jiang Lingsu added, "It is rumored that Bai Ji Lao Zu was shattered by a knife that broke through his protective body light and destroyed his Gold Core. It can be seen that the knife must be a powerful Law Weapon. How can it be compared to a kitchen knife?"

Qi Yuan immediately felt dissatisfied. "All things are equal. How can you look down on my knife! My knife can also chop off that guy's head!"

Jiang Ran smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

Jiang Lingsu, on the other hand, retorted, "All things are equal, Senior Brother, how can you insult dogs?"

Qi Yuan didn't continue on this topic. He held the kitchen knife and said anxiously, "I have a kitchen knife, and the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect died under the knife. Do you think the Black Mountain Sect will suspect that I killed Chu Tianxiong?"

Jiang Ran was stunned, wanting to laugh, but she held it back. Although she hadn't received professional training, she still managed to hold it in.

Jiang Lingsu smiled lightly. "Senior Brother, you're thinking too much. You should focus on Foundation Building!"

"Enough with the foundation, let's be civilized!"

"???"

"???"

Jiang Ran and Jiang Lingsu couldn't keep up with Qi Yuan's train of thought at all.

They saw Qi Yuan's worried face. "Yesterday, I kindly reminded Chu Tianxiong, but in the eyes of others, it seems like I had a dispute with him. Do you think others will suspect that I argued with Chu Tianxiong and harbored resentment, then went to kill them all at night?"

Jiang Ran and Jiang Lingsu were completely speechless.

"Senior Brother, don't worry, no one will suspect you!"

"But if someone asks, you have to testify for me. Say that I didn't go out last night and was drinking and playing rock-paper-scissors with you two on Seven Colour Peak!"

"Alright, alright!" Jiang Lingsu massaged her temples.

A smile also appeared on Jiang Ran's lips.

Obviously, with Chu Tianxiong dead, her mood had improved a lot, and the gloom on her face had temporarily disappeared.

Qi Yuan lowered his head, looking somewhat afraid. "What if the Black Mountain Sect doesn't believe your confession and forcefully comes to arrest me? Will the Divine Light Sect protect me?"

Jiang Lingsu was completely speechless. "Senior Brother, I think you shouldn't worry about yourself right now. You should be worried about that masked person. After all, you're facing the Black Mountain Sect, and the Black Chicken Old Demon!"

After some discussion, Jiang Lingsu and Jiang Ran left.

Jiang Lingsu had a helpless expression on her face. "My Senior Brother, he's a good person, but his personality is, well, as you can see, a bit eccentric, belonging to the Eccentric Lineage."

Jiang Ran smiled sweetly. "Actually, Senior Brother Qi Yuan is quite interesting."

"Ah, indeed, he is interesting. He doesn't need to have so many worries and can live carefree." Jiang Lingsu thought of something and couldn't help but sigh. There was a boulder in her heart that she couldn't let go of.

"Is Senior Brother Qi Yuan really carefree?"

...

Qi Yuan paced alone in the room, his face filled with deep worry.

"I was careless last night!"

"Just wearing a mask isn't perfect. I should have cross-dressed so that my gender wouldn't be exposed!"

"Oh no, they know the killer uses a knife. What if they suspect me?"

"Will the Black Mountain Sect come after me?"

The more Qi Yuan thought, the more worried and frightened he became, and the more he thought, the more angry he became.

Although what he did was almost flawless.

But what if there was an Innate Saint hidden in the Black Mountain Sect who figured out that it was him?

He had already imagined the elders of the Black Mountain Sect coming to the Divine Light Sect, ready to attack.

He felt weak, pitiful, and helpless.

The more he thought, the angrier he became, his face turning red and his neck thickening.

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is fragrant."

"The Black Mountain Sect really doesn't want the Bi Lian!"

"I only represented the moon in eliminating a few evildoers."

"They joined forces to bully a child who is only 229 months old?"

"Is there no justice left? Is there no righteousness left?"

"They've gone too far!"

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully a poor young man!"

"No, I must seek revenge!"

Qi Yuan sharpened his knife, pacing in the room. He found a hat and covered his head to avoid being seen.

After some thought, he even smeared some soot on his face.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Qi Yuan felt slightly safer.

He tied the kitchen knife to his waist and quietly left Seven Colour Peak.

Not long after, Jiang Lingsu arrived outside Qi Yuan's courtyard. "Senior Brother, are you there?"

She called out but received no response.

"Strange, wasn't Senior Brother in the courtyard all this time? When did he leave? How did I not notice?"

You see, she had successfully reached the Foundation Building stage last night and her perception had greatly improved.

If Senior Brother had left, she should have been able to sense it.

"How strange."

She wondered and her gaze fell on a glass fish tank.

Looking at the black fish swimming in the tank, she murmured, "Is this the fish Senior Brother caught last night? It doesn't seem to be a wild fish."

She pondered for a moment but didn't think much of it, then left Senior Brother's courtyard.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Light Sect's library.

Qi Yuan climbed to the third floor and hid in a corner, secretly examining information about the Black Mountain Sect's strength.
