Chapter 2, My goal is the stars and the sea

Junior Sister Pei

This is ultimately not a sustainable path; if one continues to exploit the situation without regard for others, it is only a matter of time before the senior and junior members of the sect will notice and distance themselves from him.

The Outer Sect and Inner Sect of the Taiyi Sword Sect are two distinctly different systems. The former is relatively lenient, with no significant requirements regarding your personal diligence; you can choose to be complacent and drift aimlessly, as long as you do not fail the major examination held every three years. In contrast, the latter compels you to study through various means employed by the sect.

Are you really here to repay the money

It is rumored that it was a childhood betrothal, but after Lu Qingming became famous, he ventured into the Tianquan Ancient Road and has not heard any news of the other party's return. Some speculate that Lu Qingming has long since fallen in the Tianquan Ancient Road.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Changsheng opened the restrictions and stepped out of the cave dwelling

Come, everyone listen, the talent is unparalleled throughout history, yet it has mysteriously vanished, suspected to have fallen! The Holy Maiden of the Sword Sect is already a near widow!

The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened the door, revealing a delicate and fair face fully before Gu Changsheng. Her stature was not particularly tall; she was of a petite and exquisite build. The white training and library sword attire of the Taiyi Sword Sect appeared to be a size larger on her.

The rewards for different levels of Destiny plunder are completely different. Instead of constantly engaging in minor skirmishes and dealing with small fry, it is better to seek wealth and fortune through risk, concentrate efforts on significant matters, and go all in for a top-tier SSR

After Gu Changsheng carefully sat in meditation and practiced breathing in the cave for a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that his junior sister Li had not come over to confront him.

Then you should pay me back. Pei Ningning spread her delicate white hands.

"This ... ... let's not rush it for now." Gu Changsheng said seriously while retracting the girl's open palm, "Junior Sister Pei, how many years have we known each other?"

Indeed

A gust of wind blew by, and no one responded. Gu Changsheng cleared his throat twice, thought for a moment, and then said

Gu Changsheng is a complete miser; however, fortunately, there happens to be a wealthy young lady by his side

Her long black hair is as fine as silk, her features are simple and gentle, her lips are cherry red, and her thick eyelashes flutter. When she appears before you, the majority of people's first reaction may not be one of astonishment, yet she is unexpectedly the kind of person who becomes increasingly pleasing to the eye the more you look at her

The first consideration is the selection of the object, which generally involves choosing those of destiny quality below "Eternal Radiance." After all, those who reach this level of excellence are bound to achieve great success in the future, and even with Gu Changsheng's system, his cultivation speed may not necessarily keep pace.

Higher levels, such as suppressing the present age and unilaterally dictating the ages, are destinies that Gu Changsheng has never encountered. Of course, even if he were to encounter them, he would not dare to look at them, fearing that he might become entangled in some great cause and effect and suffer immediate death.

Suddenly, a plopping sound echoed within the cave, followed by the sound of a chair being moved. After a while, the cave door gently opened a small crack, revealing a pair of eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion.

The moment you step into the inner gate, even your breath feels as if it is igniting spirit stones

In the bright and clear days of March, Gu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, strolls leisurely under the sunlight, occasionally nodding and smiling at acquaintances, exchanging greetings.

I consider Mr. Gu to be an ambitious person This is not in accordance with etiquette

Given Gu Changsheng's appearance, if he were to choose to pursue one person after another for physical relationships, it would be he who stands to lose

In theory, he could also help his destined senior and junior sisters recognize their companions and embark on the path of pure love, but reason tells him that this is a wicked road, one that he must not touch at all

To dig into the corner of the road to clarity, one must first enter the inner gate to seek a stronger child of destiny for development; to enter the inner gate for development, in addition to participating in the irregular selections held by various sword peaks in the inner gate, one must also have wealth

Brother Gu, a few days ago, I went down the mountain with Brother Zhang and a few others to fish at Han Lake for an entire night. We caught a top-quality Lingstone grouper weighing several dozen pounds. You know your sister-in-law's cooking skills, so remember to come over. Let's have a good drink together

Saintess of the Sword Sect, Qi Hansu

Of course

I want to enter the inner gate! I want to shed blood and achieve merit for the Taiyi Sword Sect! I want to see the Saintess!

If it were someone with ulterior motives, they would naturally welcome such requests and seek to gain as much as possible. However, Gu Changsheng is different; he is a person who has transcended base desires. Although he has been ensnared by the Huangmao system, leaving him in a quagmire, his heart remains oriented towards the light

The small fish and shrimp outside can no longer satisfy me; I want to wander in the broader ocean behind the inner gate

Those were exceptionally captivating eyes, strikingly clear in black and white, with peach blossom-shaped pupils that seemed to reveal the depths of clarity. However, the vigilant gaze that emerged from the *illustration* made Gu Changsheng feel somewhat embarrassed. The girl scrutinized Gu Changsheng for a moment, and a muffled voice came from behind the cave door:

He cleared his throat and spoke in a loud voice

Junior Sister Li has already secured that reward. Considering that the selection day for the inner sect Sword Peak is approaching, he does not plan to continue selecting new fortunate senior brothers to experience the pain of snowflakes drifting and the north wind howling.

Did you not deceive me

Sister Pei, I have come to repay the money

She also holds another identity—fiancée of Lu Qingming, the most gifted prodigy in the history of the Taiyi Sword Sect

Although this great and noble goal has been established, one must take it step by step, and even the most proud corner of the sect must be dug out shovel by shovel

The Taiyi Sword Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the leader among the three sects and five schools of the Yaoguang Domain. Even as merely an outer sect, it has already allowed Gu Changsheng to reap the rewards of three Chosen Ones. Two have gained widespread fame, while one has made a name for himself in a particular region. As for those at the next level, who are known throughout the world, they have yet to be encountered.

If the importance is too high, it is possible to attract attention and be eliminated by others, making the risk truly not worth it

I don't remember. Pei Ningning once again spread her small hands, her gaze fixed, and said: "But I remember that you owe me two thousand five hundred and thirty-two spirit stones, and it has been 183 days."

Senior Brother Gu! Junior Sister Lin always says there are a few sword techniques from the sect's teachings that she does not understand, and she specifically seeks me out at night to ask for guidance. No matter how hard I try, I cannot teach her. If you have some free time, could you please teach her? I really have no way to help her anymore. Sigh, I wonder what will happen to Junior Sister Lin if this continues.

Secondly, regarding the choices of young women, true love that has already developed mutual affection with the Child of Destiny should not be pursued! Those with an importance level of over 80% should not be pursued! A person’s wife should not be pursued! ... As for widows, it depends on the situation ...

So the question arises, where is the top-tier SSR that is closest to Gu Changsheng and also the safest

Gu Changsheng raised his head to gaze at the sky, his eyes seemingly penetrating the layers of stone walls of the cave, reaching the distant inner gate of the Taiyi Sword Sect, where the ethereal figure of a cold fairy in white, holding a long sword, appeared before him in a fleeting moment

Gu Changsheng politely declined the other party's invitation and kindly advised them to read more and fish less. He then continued on, quickly arriving at the entrance of a cave along the winding stone steps in the mountains.

"Sister Pei has an excellent memory," Gu Changsheng said with a smile. "To be honest, I came to see you today specifically regarding this substantial debt of spirit stones."
