Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Does It Make Any Difference?

As the three of them started to engage in a conversation here and there, the prohibition outside the Butcher Palace suddenly sent a signal.

After seeing the appearance of the person outside the hall, Yang Yan showed a wry smile and turned around to say to Gu Sheng, "Gu Sheng, go and bring the guest in."

"Yes, young master."

Gu Sheng nodded, responded immediately, and walked out.

Not long after, Gu Sheng hurriedly returned, closely following a certain someone’s tail.

There was nothing he could do; even his young master Yang Yan probably didn’t have a good solution.

"Eh... Why is Guoguo here?"

Elder Dugu showed a look of confusion upon seeing the newcomer.

Then he glanced at the visitor and then at Yang Yan.

Suddenly, he appeared to have an epiphany.

So that’s how it is!

It was Guo Guoguo who came to find Yang Yan just as he returned to the Ancient Abyss Sect.

Originally, Guo Guoguo came in with her two little buns puffed up boldly, but after seeing Elder Dugu’s expression, she rarely showed the embarrassment typical of a young girl.

Her initially brisk steps came to a halt beside Yang Yan, twisting her skirt with her hands and said shyly, "Master Dugu, why are you here?"

Elder Dugu winked at Yang Yan before turning his head to intentionally tease, "Why, is it only allowed for you to meet your little sweetheart, but not for us to have a chat with Yang Yan?"

"Who’s meeting a little sweetheart?!

Guoguo quickly got anxious and hurriedly argued.

Yang Yan happened to be looking at her awkwardly, not expecting her to glare back fiercely.

Alright, so it seems to be Yang Yan’s fault again.

"Haha! No interruptions, no interruptions. Guoguo, do you have something? If not, Zimu and I will head back first."

Dugu said he was going back with a chuckle, yet his butt didn’t move an inch on the stone stool.

Guoguo, of course, didn’t believe Elder Dugu.

Everyone knows, she isn’t afraid of Elder Dugu purely because of that... Elder Dugu acts more shamelessly than she does! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

When she was a child, he even asked with a smile if she was willing to marry his future disciple, claiming that following Dugu would mean having meat to eat.

Hate to think that she was young and ignorant at the time, almost getting swindled by this unscrupulous guy!

To this day, Guoguo feels resentful at the thought.

So, she both hates and fears Elder Dugu.

"I wouldn’t come looking for Yang Yan!"

Guoguo deliberately put on a pouty face and stood boldly beside Yang Yan, glaring at him hard with her eyes while clearly stating she didn’t come to find Yang Yan.

"Oh! Is the Young Sect Leader here to see me?"

At some point, Lin Zimu also learned to joke, gracefully stood up, and said earnestly.

"I’m not here for you either, wishful thinking." Guoguo immediately glared at Lin Zimu and spoke fiercely.

Lin Zimu awkwardly smiled, attempting to appear calm, then slowly sat back down, "Drink tea, drink tea."

Yang Yan said somewhat helplessly, "Guo, if there’s something you want to say, just say it!"

The moment Yang Yan spoke, Guoguo immediately rolled her eyes, placed her hands on her hips, and angrily questioned:

"You, I came to see you out of good heart, worried you might be missing an arm or a leg outside, and you didn’t even know to offer me a seat. Are you... are you overlooking this young lady!"

Yang Yan found it somewhat amusing.

Her eyes were red just because he forgot to offer her a seat?

With a bitter smile, he stood up and vacated his seat with a grin, "Guo, please have a seat."

Guo Guoguo snorted, turned her head and grumpily said:

"I won’t sit! How dare I sit in the host’s seat. If word spread, wouldn’t they say I’m a guest bullying the host."

Isn’t that so?

You’ve always been like this, haven’t you?

However, Yang Yan only thought such words in his heart, and didn’t dare to voice them.

He had no choice but to take Guoguo’s wrist, leading her to the seat beside his left hand and sincerely said, "Then Guo, please have a seat."

Being held by Yang Yan, Guo Guoguo clearly blushed and sat down slowly without saying a word.

Gu Sheng behind them glanced at Guo with slight envy.

In his view, even though Guo Guoguo is the Sect Leader’s daughter, she couldn’t compare to the nobility of his young master’s partner!

His young master is the Saint Son!

You could go outside and check.

How many beautiful female disciples both in and out of the Ancient Abyss Sect yearn to share a bed with the young master but can’t?!

"Guo, I may need to return to my hometown soon, so you won’t need to come looking for me these few days," Yang Yan kindly reminded.

He did consider leaving without a word, but since he would ultimately return, given Miss Guo’s temperament, who knows what trouble it might cause.

Guogu, with the pride of a peacock, raised her chin looking at Yang Yan and pouted, "Who would come looking for you! Don’t flatter yourself."

Lin Zimu laughed and deliberately chimed in, "Indeed, how could the Young Sect Leader come looking for Yang? We don’t even know if there will be any risks this time. The Young Sect Leader should join us."

This statement seemed to please Guogu. She looked at Lin Zimu with satisfaction.

This guy finally said something proper!

Hmm...

So, Guogu struck a pose indicating it’s not that she wants to go, but they needed her, and she reluctantly agreed:

"Alright then, since you guys are so worried, I’ll just have to sacrifice some of my cultivation time."

Unfortunately, at this moment, Yang Yan spoke at the wrong time.

"Guo, you’re still at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation; it’s better not to go."

This remark hit Guogu’s sore spot.

Even though she has the lower-grade Dao Body, theoretically, her cultivation speed shouldn’t be much slower than Lin Zimu.

Especially since she has a good father.

Resources wouldn’t be lacking for her.

Yet, who within the sect doesn’t know that the Young Sect Leader, who started cultivating earlier than the senior brother and had more resources, whose aptitude isn’t much less than Lin Zimu’s, is now only at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.

In the Inner Sect for so many years, this aptitude is really just like any ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.

"How dare you say I’m at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation? What do you mean!" Guogu glared at Yang Yan fiercely.

Yang Yan, unafraid of dying, nodded: "Indeed, it’s what I said!"

Guogu was so angry that her face twisted.

She seemed to want to prove her cultivation, and immediately released her pressure, stating word by word:

"I am at the seventh level, consummated!"

Yang Yan blinked his eyes and nonchalantly said, "Is there a difference?"

Guogu angrily stood up abruptly and strode out of the hall.

"Mind your own business about my cultivation! Anyway, I’m going to tell Dad and I am going! Hmmp!!"

Yang Yan stood there stunned, looking at Elder Dugu with some suspicion, "Why didn’t the Elder try to persuade her?"
