Chapter 1705: Chapter 1705: Thought She Had Learned Her Lesson
“Huh, that’s good then.”
Xuanyuan Zimo let out a heavy sigh of turbid air.
As long as they hadn’t succeeded, there was still room for negotiation. At the very least, Lord Yaan hadn’t been harmed because of them, and to the Qingyun Sect, it was not yet a calamity that would destroy them.
“What’s good?”
Brother Zhen glared at her.
Naturally, it was better that Gu Qingyu had not succeeded compared to if she had.
But this didn’t mean they were safe, or that the Qingyun Sect was safe. The fact that Gu Qingyu dared to make a move was already a grave disrespect to the Xiang Dynasty. Even if she had not succeeded, once Lord Yaan woke up, he wouldn’t let them off easily.
“That idiot, despite my repeated warnings, it was all in vain. Is she using the entire Qingyun Sect for her risky gamble, thinking it’s the foremost Great Sect under the heavens?”
He rubbed his forehead with one hand, wishing he could drag Gu Qingyu back and give her a severe beating.
Even a beating would not be enough to vent his anger.
“Brother, are you suggesting that Gu Qingyu might implicate the Qingyun Sect?” The other brothers shuddered internally at his words.
This was no small matter. If the Xiang Dynasty indeed held the Qingyun Sect responsible, even if the Xiang Dynasty didn’t take action themselves, other Sects would kick them while they were down.
And for the Xiang Dynasty, just spreading some rumors would suffice.
Brother Zhen stayed silent, hands planted on his waist and the other on the table, seemingly too furious to speak.
“Brother Zhen, please calm down.”
Xuanyuan Zimo hurried over upon seeing him so enraged and handed him a cup of tea.
“The situation has reached this stage; we still need to think of a solution. Maybe we can go over there first to scout and see how they plan to deal with the Gu Qingyu matter.”
Brother Zhen remained silent, not wanting to speak, but still took the teacup from Xuanyuan Zimo and drank down all the tea in one gulp.
“Zimo, go with Junior Brother Sun and ask Prince Zhan for the specifics.”
After a moment’s hesitation, he finally spoke up.
Reluctant as he was to get involved, they had to send someone to gather information. Gu Qingyu was still their junior sister; even if they were extremely upset with her for stirring up trouble again and wished to ignore her, they still had to show their stance.
“Remember, once you’re there, do not plead on Gu Qingyu’s behalf under any circumstances. The last thing that will work now is pleading for mercy,” he added with a reminder.
“Brother Zhen, rest assured, I understand.”
Xuanyuan Zimo was well aware – pleading for mercy? Which brother or sister hadn’t warned Gu Qingyu, both openly and in secret, to stop causing trouble and to stay away from those people?
Did Gu Qingyu listen?
Since she didn’t heed their advice, why should they bother pleading for her?
Moreover, this was a serious matter of casting Worm Gu on Lord Yaan. The royal family was always wary of Worm Gu, they even avoided people skilled in Worm Gu Cultivation, forbidding them from entering important places freely.
And even if they wanted to plead, they would have to understand the entire situation clearly first. For now, the priority was to find out exactly what had happened.
“This Gu Qingyu is simply a disaster!”
After Xuanyuan Zimo left with Senior Brother Sun, the rest of the brothers were all fuming.
“These past few days, I thought she had learned her lesson and wouldn’t stir up more trouble. Little did we know, she was only behaving in front of us, waiting for us to let our guard down before revealing a bigger scheme!”
