His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 273: The Fortuitous Opportunity Gifted by Master (Two)

Yu Qing Qian noticed that the red-clothed beauty looked around twenty years old, and guessed that his cultivation talent must also be extremely high.

On this continent, Spiritual Plant Masters and Body Tempering Masters could freeze their appearance as long as they reached the level of Spirit Emperor or Martial Emperor, which meant that their appearance would no longer age. Therefore, the younger the advanced-level powerhouses were, the more talented they were. Of course, there were also many people who accumulated steadily and broke forth vastly over the years.

For example, the middle-aged cold, tough-looking man from the Imperial Academy was actually not much different in age from Elder Gu from the Holy Academy, but he looked much younger. This was also because the cold, tough man advanced to Spirit Emperor in his forties.

But after Elder Gu from the Holy Academy broke through to Spirit Emperor, his aura was much denser than that of the middle-aged man. This was a kind of strength that had been accumulated over time and broke forth vastly.

“Master, what’s your title?” Yu Qing Qian asked.

The red-clothed man said with a smile: “My name’s Gu Yan, as for title, many people used to call me Venerable Phantom Hand.”

“Master, your title sure is special. Does Phantom Hand mean that you’re superb at carving plant inscriptions?” Yu Qing Qian continued to ask with a smile: “Venerable means that Master, you’re cultivation base was at Spirit Venerable powerhouse?”

After knowing her Master’s name, Yu Qing Qian didn’t think about investigating her Master behind his back—this was a sign of respect.

“Haha, there are two reasons behind the origin of ‘Phantom Hand’. One is exactly what you said. If I dare to claim second in plant inscriptions, no one dares to claim first, and I almost never make a mistake after acting; second is that my temperament is relatively capricious and I do things based on my preferences. Even when I meet people I hate, if I want to kill, I’ll kill, so I was termed Phantom Hand.”

Gu Yan said with a half-smile: “As for your Master’s cultivation level, if one day you can refine the three towers and release me, you will naturally know about it.”

“I see, cultivators should do things based on their heart to begin with. Master doing this is the way to be free and unbridled.” Yu Qing Qian chuckled.

She wasn’t trying to flatter Gu Yan, but she felt the same, because she was the same way in her previous life. She did things based on preferences, like was like, hate was hate, and on this point, she preferred this Master’s temperament.

What Yu Qing Qian disliked the most in her life was the kind of hypocrite who did one thing in front of others and did another behind the scenes. She especially hated people who liked to stab people behind their backs. Judging from the temperament of her Master, this was obviously not the case.

“HAHA, we are destined to be Master and disciple. We agree on this point.” Gu Yan was in a very happy mood.

Master and disciple chatted for a while, then Gu Yan said: “First try to refine the first level of the pagoda, then you can get out of this confined space.”

“Then will Master always be in the small pagoda from now on?’ Yu Qing Qian asked after thinking for a bit.

Gu Yan’s lips hooked up into a smile: “Naturally. Disciple, wherever you are, I, your Master, will naturally follow.”

“Alright, then I’ll go refine the first floor of the pagoda first.” Yu Qing Qian sighed in relief and nodded.

She didn’t want to be separated from him after she had only just acknowledged this show-off master that she felt was pleasing to the eye.

“Go ahead, if this pagoda tugs at your soul, don’t resist it anymore. Follow it in and as long as you’ve refined the first floor, you can exit.” Gu Yan advised.

“Yes!”

Yu Qing Qian sat cross-legged, her mental energy and mind fusing with the black pagoda.

Suddenly, a relatively strong suction force appeared, trying to pull her soul in. This time, Yu Qing Qian didn’t resist, and entered the small pagoda in a daze.

Immediately, she felt as if all the spiritual energy in her body had disappeared, and she couldn’t use her mental energy either, but the wood-attribute variant ability became rather active.
