Chapter 232 If given a choice, who wouldn't want to be a good person?
A maniacal laugh suddenly echoed through the void.
Gu Qing and Zhi Meng looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
A burly young man with disheveled hair, a full beard, and a manic expression was seen laughing wildly at the sky.
He stopped in front of the flying boat, looked at Zhi Meng and Gu Qing, and danced with joy, his eyes brimming with tears of excitement.
"madman."
The two gave the same assessment in perfect unison.
"madman?"
"No, no, no, brother, I'm not crazy."
Dan Mao shook his head excitedly: "My name is Dan Mao, the Holy Son of the Changhe Dao Sect. How should I address you, brother? How should I address this fairy? I would like to be friends with you. I'm sure you won't mind, right? You must also want to be friends with me..."
Gu Qing put away the flying boat and looked him up and down.
At the peak of the Celestial God Realm, his blood energy was like a vast ocean, and the Daoist aura emanating from his body was profound and extraordinary.
Before he went mad, Shan Mao must have been a prodigy and genius.
It's a pity, he's gone mad now, mentally deranged, and everything is over.
"What are you looking at? What kind of look is that? I'm not crazy, brother, you can trust me."
"I was just a little excited to see a living person. I'm perfectly normal. I'm the Holy Son of the Changhe Dao Sect. How could I be crazy? I'm not crazy."
"Waaaaah, I'm so excited to see you all! I'm so thrilled!"
Dan Mao spoke and cried, his words incoherent, and he gestured wildly with emotion.
A tall young man, nearly two meters tall, was crying his eyes out, tears streaming down his face. The scene was quite comical.
"Aww, brother, don't do this! I'm really not crazy, really, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, aww..."
Gu Qing and Zhi Meng looked at each other, then glanced at Shan Mao, who was crying like a dog.
Is that really not it?
Not sure, check again.
"Brother, fairy, I apologize for my rudeness. Fellow Daoists, no, friends, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Dan Mao wiped away a tear, looked intently at Gu Qing, suppressed his excitement, and said.
"Brother, let me tell you, don't look down on me. You have a fairy by your side and people to talk to. It's easy for you to talk when you're not in my shoes. You don't understand me at all."
"Do you know how hard I've been? Do you know how much I've suffered? Do you know how I've lived these past years? No, you don't know."
"Let me tell you, I am a cold and aloof sword cultivator who is ruthless and doesn't talk much. Countless fairies flirt with me, but I don't even bother to look at them. To me, women are nothing more than painted skeletons."
"But do you know what? In order to temper my mind, I cut off all contact. I crushed the communication device and the coordinates of the city. I came to the boundless void alone, determined to cultivate a calm and undisturbed mind."
"But three years after three years, I spent countless years alone, facing the desolate and boundless void alone... It was too hard for me."
"Do you know what my biggest wish has been all these years? You don't? Let me tell you, my biggest wish is to see the woman I once looked down on the most again. My second biggest wish is that someone will say just one word to me, just one word..."
Listening to Shan Mao's barrage of words, Gu Qing looked at him with pity.
This is a prodigy with perseverance, courage, and talent, but unfortunately, he was driven mad by boundless loneliness.
Gu Qing was overjoyed.
Fortunately, he had Zhi Meng by his side and to comfort him; otherwise... the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"cough!"
"Brothers, fairies, thank you for listening to my story. Please accept these two drops of Time Essence as a token of my gratitude."
Seeing the two men's impatient expressions, Shan Mao suppressed his boundless urge to confide, tossed out two jade bottles, and said with tears of gratitude.
He really couldn't hold on much longer.
Countless times I wanted to die by dismemberment, thinking that it would be good to die like this, with the earth as my bed and the sky as my blanket.
Fortunately, he met Gu Qingzhi.
He can still be saved.
"Aren't you going to rob us?"
Upon receiving the jade bottle, Gu Qing and Zhi Meng looked astonished.
Even if Shan Mao looks down on their family background, he shouldn't look down on Zhi Meng.
Also, what's the deal with giving them such precious time marrow?
Why would I rob you?
Dan Mao was taken aback and asked in surprise.
He's just lonely, he hasn't turned bad.
He has his own principles and bottom line.
Moreover, those who commit murder will always be killed by others.
If you always try to snatch what you want, you'll eventually run into trouble.
Countless geniuses and prodigies, immortal families and lineages in the celestial realm, ultimately perished because of greed.
Therefore, robbery is not the right path and will not last.
"Okay, I misunderstood you, brother."
"My name is Gu Qing, and this is my senior sister, Zhi Meng."
Gu Qing introduced himself and threw a ball of light to him.
"Brother, these are the coordinates of the three thousand He Guang Immortal Cities. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
"Okay, take care, bro. Wait a minute, bro, give me your contact information. Let's keep in touch sometime."
Dan Mao caught the ball of light, overjoyed as if he had found a treasure, and shouted at Gu Qing's flying boat.
call out!
A beam of light flew over, and Shan Mao caught it in his hand.
This is the mark of the messenger jade.
Shan Mao carefully put the item away, looking at Gu Qingfei with gratitude until it disappeared from sight before turning his gaze away.
He glanced at the location of the light sphere, then rode away on his sword.
"Such a treasure, obtained without any effort at all."
Zhi Meng happily played with the jade bottle.
She had consumed that drop of Time Essence, which did not lead to a breakthrough in her cultivation, but it cleansed and refined her Daoist techniques and aptitude.
This further enhanced her foundation, making her more than twice as strong as before.
After all, she broke through too quickly before. Even with thousands of years of accumulation, breaking through in succession within ten years still caused her foundation to become unstable.
The Time Essence perfectly compensated for her deficiency.
"Ok!"
Gu Qing hummed in agreement, her expression thoughtful.
To be honest, the fact that Shan Mao didn't rob him was truly beyond his expectations.
He was fully prepared; if Shan Mao showed any murderous intent, he would immediately curse Shan Mao and then unleash the Mysterious Fire Mirror.
However, Shan Mao gave him the Time Essence without warning, which completely surprised him.
In addition, Shan Mao's actions served as a wake-up call for him.
The waters of the immortal realm run deep; robbery is not a long-term solution. If you walk the dark path too often, you'll inevitably encounter a ghost sooner or later.
Who knows if a seemingly ordinary cultivator might possess a soul-protecting jade pendant bestowed by their sect elders?
If you offend a descendant or disciple of a Celestial King, you won't even know how you died.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing said seriously, "Master, you must not rob again in the future."
"..."
Zhi Meng smiled and affectionately patted Gu Qing's head: "Don't worry, your teacher knows the ins and outs better than you do."
He paused, then added, "Given a choice, who wouldn't want to be a good person?"
"Master is right." Gu Qing leaned back, avoiding Zhi Meng's hand.
Hearing Zhi Meng's words, Gu Qing was quite surprised.
Judging from what Zhi Meng said, she wants to be a good person?
Maybe.
Human nature is treacherous, and the world is difficult; everything is for the sake of survival, and for a better life.
"Master, a flying boat from Tianbao Trading Company just passed by. Should we take it?" Gu Qing subtly changed the subject.
At the same time, he sent a message to Li Yuzheng to inquire about the situation of the flying boat and whether it was possible to stop and pick him up for a while.
"Go!"
Seeing that Gu Qing avoided her intimate gestures and stopped looking at her strangely, Zhi Meng smiled with relief.
It seems that Gu Qing's character has truly been completely transformed.
Compared to before, Gu Qing exuded a calm and collected demeanor, naturally revealing the aura of a powerful figure.
With such achievements, it's time for Gu Qing to find a place to properly improve his cultivation.
