Chapter 771: The First Appearance of the Legacy
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Jingman’s aura was not fanciful, but it was tempting in its reservedness. At this moment, she was extremely seductive. Even the flowers in the garden all lowered their faces. She was like their master receiving their adulation.
Wang Yinru was extremely shocked. It was the first time she had encountered such a terrifying aura. She could not describe what level the warrior was at to be able to give off such remarkable power. If not for the reservedness of Gu Jingman’s aura, Wang Yinru might have even suspected that her own aura could be pulverized immediately. “It is like the power of the heavens!” Wang Yinru thought. Not even warriors in the Golden Elixir Realm would have such a terrifying aura.
The aura slowly drew back until it disappeared completely. It was as if it had never appeared.
“How…how did you do that?” Wang Yinru released the breath she had been holding. Shock filled her eyes. Gu Jingman’s aura alone had caused her to lose her mobility. It was astonishing.
“Elder Sister Yinru, thanks to Mo Wen, I am now different from before. In the future, it won’t be just you who can help him. I will be able to as well.”
Gu Jingman’s smile was very attractive. In the past, Wang Yinru had stayed in the Dafang Sect to help Mo Wen manage a large sect but Gu Jingman had only been able to go home; she was not much of a help. She had naturally been very disappointed but now could do what Wang Yinru could. In fact, she could do more.
“Younger Sister, your appearance has scared me.” Wang Yinru laughed bitterly. She could vaguely guess that the huge change in Gu Jingwen had something to do with Mo Wen. However, Mo Wen probably didn’t have such an ability. How could he have helped Gu Jingman reach such levels?
“Elder Sister, please do not worry. If the Crimson Star Sect dares to create trouble for Dafang Sect, I will definitely deal with them.” Gu Jingman smiled, but her facial expression remained cold. A glint of red shone in her eyes and a devilish aura that was hard to describe permeated the entire back garden.
Wang Yinru looked at Gu Jingman oddly. Gu Jingman had unexpectedly reappeared and had clearly undergone too large of a change. Not only had her cultivation levels changed drastically, but her disposition, character, and even her appearance had changed. Gu Jingman might still look like Gu Jingman and nothing much seemed to have changed externally. However, her appearance had grown more charming and beautiful. She exuded an indescribable beauty.
Gu Jingman was already a rare beauty and was second to none in the secular world. However, in the martial arts world, she did not stand out. After all, there were many fairy-looking swordswomen there. Some of them were much more famous than Gu Jingman.
But now, Wang Yinru could be sure that Gu Jingman was a goddess of their time. Even she seemed dull standing next to Gu Jingman.
It was the change in her disposition that seemed to have brought an earth-shaking change in Gu Jingman. How could an ordinary woman have such a disposition?
“Could you tell me what happened to you?” Wang Yinru asked curiously. She could not understand what circumstances would change a mortal into a goddess. They were both women, and she knew that such a change in a woman was very enviable.
Gu Jingman shook her head. “This matter is related to some confidential issues. I cannot speak of it. Please forgive me for this, Elder Sister.” Mo Wen had instructed her over and over again to not tell anyone about it, not even her family. She did not dare take Mo Wen’s words lightly. She could also sense how startling the changes in herself over the past few days were. She knew that this must not become common knowledge.
In just two short months, the changes in her body had already reached this stage. She did not know what realm her powers were in, but this was just the beginning. Ever since she accepted the legacy of the Blood God, Gu Jingman realized that she was changing all the time. Her power rose crazily on a daily basis. She did not need to cultivate much and she could already sense her cultivation levels raising.
Furthermore, it was not just her cultivation levels that were changing. Her appearance and disposition were changing as well. She naturally exuded an aura that induced fear and respect. The maid that grew up with her and was like a friend to her usually did not screen her words. But now, she grew more and more careful with her words and actions around Gu Jingman. She spoke to her respectfully and was always careful to toe the line.
Gu Jingman noticed the change and asked the maid not to be so ill-at-ease. But the invisible power could permeate one’s soul and could not be blocked. One would behave like this subconsciously around her.
She did not know what the Blood God’s legacy was and what further changes would happen to her in the future. She only knew that the Blood God’s legacy that flowed through her veins was related to the Blood Kindred in the Western world. It was an utmost highest legacy of the Blood Kindred. It was something that the Blood Kindred must not find out about, or it would lead to great trouble.
Wang Yinru could not do anything to force Gu Jingman to speak about it. She arranged for Gu Jingman to stay in the Dafang Sect. With a powerful person like Gu Jingman here to help, she was now much more relaxed. At least she did not need to worry about the Crimson Star Sect’s threat.
On the second day, a messenger came to Dafang Sect.
“What instructions does the supreme sect leader have?” Wang Yinru asked lightly as she looked at the kneeling messenger in the great hall.
“The supreme sect leader ordered us to wait. He will settle the matters regarding the Crimson Star Sect.”
The messenger’s eyes were filled with confusion. The sect leader was just one person. How would he deal with the Crimson Star Sect? Could the rumors be true? Could it really be the case that the sect leader would be forced to beg for forgiveness from the Crimson Star Sect?
Wang Yinru nodded when she heard his words. “You can go.”
After the messenger left, a charming young woman emerged from behind the screen. She asked in confusion, “What does Mo Wen mean? Is he going to destroy the Crimson Star Sect alone?”
Gu Jingman knew Mo Wen’s character well. He would not beg the Crimson Star Sect for forgiveness. There was no need for him to do so. When they were in Fu Sang Country, Mo Wen had not feared the warriors of the Golden Elixir Realm. He would not be afraid of the Crimson Star sect now.
The most likely possibility was that he was prepared to destroy the Crimson Star Sect alone.
“Does he have the ability to?” Wang Yinru was stunned when she heard Gu Jingman’s thoughts. She knew that Mo Wen was powerful. His power was way above average, but he had not yet broken into the Golden Elixir Realm, had he? The Crimson Star Sect had Golden Elixir Realm warriors in it.
“Elder Sister Yinru, you do not know him well. It’s been more than two months since you saw him, so who knows what realm he is in now? Furthermore, he did not need to fear the Crimson Star Sect even two months ago.” Gu Jingman smiled and shook her head. She knew very well how talented Mo Wen was. Back in Fu Sang Country, he had dared to fight against a mysterious woman from a sacred alliance who was of the late Golden Elixir Realm. Who could say how powerful he was now?
However, it was a pity. She had come all the way to Dafang Sect thinking that there would be a good show to watch. She might even be able to show off in front of Mo Wen. However, Mo Wen had gone straight to the Crimson Star Sect and she had come for nothing. Had she known that, she would have gone to the Crimson Star Sect.
….
Mo Wen woke up early in the morning, feeling energetic and revitalized. During this period, Shen Jing had been very paranoid because of the premonition she had. She stuck to him all day, not willing to let him out of her sight for even the slightest moment. At night, the two stayed together in the same room. They naturally did certain things…Mo Wen was very energetic and hardworking, and he did his assignment on time every day…
Shen Jing grew more and more tender and flirtatious as the days passed. Her eyes were almost dripping with honey when she looks at Mo Wen.
However, this had annoyed Qin Xiaoyou. She looked at the two of them like a spurned woman. They were very noisy at night. It was alright if she could not get peace and quiet at night, but the two behaved amorously in the day as well. They might as well kill her!
Qin Xiaoyou made breakfast while looking at Mo Wen out of the corner of her eye.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Qin Xiaoyou, not feeling self-conscious at all.
Hrmph!
Qin Xiaoyou harrumphed softly, her cheeks puffed up in her anger. She wanted to kick Mo Wen’s butt. This man was too much! Couldn’t he rest for a few days and not be so noisy every night?
“Xiaoyou, quickly go and rest. I’ll make breakfast and get you when it’s ready.” Shen Jing brought out a few loaves of freshly baked bread from the kitchen. She stopped Qin Xiaoyou from doing her chores; it seemed as though she knew that Qin Xiaoyou had been feeling upset for the last few days. As such, Shen Jing treated her especially well. She did not allow Qin Xiaoyou to do any chores and did them all herself instead.
“Elder Sister Shen Jing, why are we always the ones to cook for him? He does not do any chores. Let him make breakfast and we will come and eat it when it’s done,” Qin Xiaoyou said hotly.
“He is a man and is clumsy. He won’t be able to make it even if you want him to. I’ll do it.”
Shen Jing laughed and cooked breakfast. She had never thought of letting Mo Wen do anything.
“You spoil him too much.” Qin Xiaoyou stomped her feet, feeling extremely aggrieved.
“He doesn’t know how to do it anyway. The breakfast he makes tastes terrible. I’d better do it,” Shen Jing said, disagreeing with Qin Xiaoyou. When Mo Wen and Qin Xiaoyou were together, Qin Xiaoyou had never asked Mo Wen to do anything. But now, she was criticizing her.
….
After breakfast, Mo Wen walked out of the courtyard alone. He strolled along the large school field, thinking about the Crimson Star Sect.
“You’ve been following me around sneakily. Aren’t you tired?” Mo Wen said suddenly without any warning as he walked. It was as if he was talking to the air.
The next moment, a slight breeze blew across the field, pulling the person hidden behind the tree to the front. Everything happened in an instant. Not even those strolling on the field noticed anything odd. It was as if that person had always been standing in front of Mo Wen.
“Senior, I’m sorry…I’m sorry… I don’t have any ill will…”
It was a woman who was dressed in professional clothing. Her hair was short and her face was exquisite. She had an elegant disposition. She was none other than Little Tang, who worked for Wang Qinghan.
