Chapter 851 Secrets (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips, pondering and said, "Is that so? Then, I must thank you, Master!"

He hadn't expected that such a great upheaval would occur after his departure!

From this, one could guess some of the general situation—it was nothing other than the cause of Shangguan Lin's pregnancy, which after being discovered by Ling Luoyan, led to the order to expel her from the Xuantian Sect…

Yun Churan glanced at Yun Cong and the others beside him and spoke indifferently, "There's no need to thank me. After bringing the pregnant Gu Linruo to Tianlan Peak, it was your fellow disciples who took great care of her!"

As Tianlan Peak's Peak Master, she couldn't possibly take care of a disciple who had been expelled from the Xuantian Sect!

However, it was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but when she uttered the word "pregnant," she placed extra emphasis on it…

Upon hearing Yun Churan mention them, Yun Cong and the three others all gave Xu Sheng a meaningful wink…

Xu Sheng nodded slightly to express his gratitude…

Only Shangguan Lin, sitting beside him, had a face that had turned extremely ugly, and she thought bitterly, "This Gu Linruo is actually pregnant… pregnant with Xu Sheng's child!!"

Just from that alone, she no longer had any chance of turning the situation around!

After all, she had cultivated the Yang Harvesting and Yin Nourishing Technique, losing her ability to bear children; perhaps this was punishment!

With this thought, her entire demeanor became a few shades more desolate…

Yun Churan silently closed her eyes and said softly, "Let's go in and see her now, she must be very sad during this time!"

Xu Sheng stood up from his seat and casually uttered, "Hmm!"

Then he turned his gaze toward Shangguan Lin beside him, and smiling, said, "Didn't you want to see her? Come with me."

Shangguan Lin was stunned and replied with some astonishment, "Xu… Xu Sheng, this isn't… isn't quite appropriate..."

If Gu Linruo was already pregnant, what if she agitated her by going in?

However, she then reconsidered, reminding herself that she was also one of Xu Sheng's women!

And she was not inferior to others; it wasn't a good look to be so timid and flinching!

As long as she was careful not to provoke the former with her words, that would be fine! As for everything else, it was none of her business!

In the end, she only uttered two words, "Alright then!"

Having said that, the two made their way toward the room where Shangguan Lin was staying…

At that moment, Yun Cong's cheeks revealed a gossip-hungry expression as he clapped his hands on the two beside him and said, "Mu Junior Brother, Mo Junior Sister, what do you think, will there be trouble?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his question, both Mu Yun and Mo Qingyue shook their heads and said in unison, "There won't be!"

Seeing this tacit moment, Yun Cong felt sour…

He thought to himself, "Damn it! I have to find a partner for myself as well, otherwise, I'll be irritated by their lovey-dovey displays every single day!"

And Yun Churan, who was sitting with her eyes closed, said softly, "Yun Cong, pour the wine…"

Yun Cong's face turned bitter, as he held back and said, "Coming, Master!"

With the current living conditions, still finding a partner??

Fears were he might not have that chance in his lifetime…

…

Xu Sheng gently knocked on the room door, "Tap tap tap!"

Shangguan Lin's heart raced, showing signs of nervousness…

After a long while, an ethereal female voice came from inside, "Is it Master Yun? Please, come in!"

Only then did Xu Sheng push the door open, "Crack."

Accompanied by Shangguan Lin, he entered the room...

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Linruo, who was sitting on the bed, raised her eyes to look towards the door...

When those amber-colored beautiful eyes clearly saw Xu Sheng, she couldn't help but swallow and said in disbelief, "Xu... Master... Xu Sheng, how come, you're back?"

In her memory, the last time might have been her last encounter with Xu Sheng!

But now, she was somewhat suspicious that she was hallucinating due to missing the other person!

Seeing her somewhat dazed look, Xu Sheng slowly stepped forward to her and gently embraced her, whispering into her ear, "Senior Sister Gu, it's not an illusion, I'm back!"

Gu Linruo's eyes were touched with tears as she softly said, "It's good that you're back... I thought I wouldn't see you again!"

Envy flashed through the eyes of Shangguan Lin standing beside them...

After a while, Xu Sheng released Gu Linruo...

Gu Linruo wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and turned to Shangguan Lin with a light chuckle, asking Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, aren't you going to introduce us?"

Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Lin thought to herself in shock, "This Gu Linruo... isn't angry at all??"

Her man was snatched away by another woman, wouldn't anyone be at least a little upset?

What exactly went wrong?

She was all set for a war of words, but this abrupt anticlimax made her feel somewhat unreal!

Xu Sheng softly introduced, "Her name is Shangguan Lin, she used to be my slave! And now, well..."

Shangguan Lin bit her tender, thin lips in annoyance and scolded, "Xu Sheng!!"

He was actually introducing her like that, wasn't that like lowering her own status?

Gu Linruo didn't mock but instead smiled softly, extending her frail palm with a very amicable manner, "Shangguan Lin? What a coincidence, my name also has the character for Lin, Gu Linruo!"

For a man as outstanding as Xu Sheng, having lots of women was normal...

There was no need to get angry, as long as his love was true, that was enough...

Shangguan Lin's beautiful eyes first glared at Xu Sheng before she reached out and lightly clasped hands with Gu Linruo...

Afterward, the two engaged in casual conversation, somehow developing a sense of camaraderie...

Xu Sheng, looking at the scene before him, propped his chin and pondered, "Perhaps I could arrange for Shangguan Lin to have the identity of a Xuantian Sect disciple, even though her strength, nearing the Void Refining Stage, has already far surpassed Mu Qingge."

Suddenly, Gu Linruo interrupted his thoughts with a puzzled expression, "Xu Sheng, did you come back to the Xuantian Sect for some reason?"

Xu Sheng didn't deny, replying, "Yes! Mainly to see you, and also to look for information about the Cave Heaven Underworld!"

As for finding out the whereabouts of the Cave Heaven Underworld from within the Xuantian Sect, he didn't hold much hope...

Gu Linruo's beautiful eyes concentrated, pondering, "Cave Heaven Underworld? I feel like I've heard of it before..."

Shangguan Lin also showed a surprised look beside her...

If even the elders of a sect like the Evil Spirit Sect didn't know, how could the considerably less powerful Xuantian Sect possibly have a clue!

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng asked urgently, "Lin Ruo, can you remember anything?"

Gu Linruo shook her head, apologizing, "It's very vague, but the Xuantian Sect was once a top sect, and now it has declined to this state. I think, Sect Master Mu might know some secrets, but still, don't get your hopes up too high."

These words made Xu Sheng's heart tighten...

Gu Linruo's words made sense; if the Xuantian Sect was truly once a top sect, then it might know some secrets of the cultivation world...

It looks like it was necessary to meet with Mu Qingge!
