The others also tried to persuade Gu Zhicheng.
A hint of confusion flashed in Gu Zhicheng’s eyes.
As a Saint, he was well aware of the gap between Saints and experts of the
Heavenly Realm. Even if he only used fifty percent of his power, it wasn’t something an expert of the Heavenly Realm could easily withstand.
Could it be because this girl was on the verge of becoming a Saint, which allowed her to withstand his attack?
Or maybe she wasn’t an easy opponent as she appeared on the surface? Regardless of which possibility it was, Gu Zhicheng chose to accept it. So, he launched another attack on Gu Qingluan.
This time, he used eighty percent of his power.
He temporarily held back from going all out, reserving twenty percent of his power.
As the palm wind surged, everyone present could feel the sharp aura.
Everyone felt that Gu Qingluan would definitely be injured this time. However, Gu Qingluan remained calm and effortlessly blocked his move. “Elder brother, why can’t you make a decisive move?”
Gu Zhixin was getting anxious for him.
Others also felt that Gu Zhicheng was too reluctant to act forcefully.
Gu Zhicheng had a stern expression, but he was secretly shocked.
Eighty percent of his power, and she still blocked it!
This was impossible!
Unless she was also a Saint!
However, Gu Zhicheng couldn’t accept such a possibility.
Gu Qingluan was so young, how could she become a Saint?
The entire Cheng Yuan only had three Saints, and if it weren’t for him consuming the Universe Stabilizer, he would still be at the Heavenly Realm. Wait!
Gu Zhicheng suddenly widened his eyes, his mind shaken.
How could he forget!
Mr. Liu was willing to put the Universe Stabilizer up for auction, indicating that he wasn’t lacking in Universe Stabilizers!
Gu Qingluan had a close relationship with Mr. Liu. Perhaps she asked him for the Universe Stabilizer!
Once this assumption was made, all the doubts had a reasonable explanation. Gu Zhicheng stood up in a daze, to the astonishment of everyone, he stared at
Gu Qingluan and asked urgently, “You’ve advanced to the Saint Realm?” “Finally, you’re not completely hopeless.” Gu Qingluan smiled faintly.
So, she really was a Saint!
Wang Shi and the others looked at her in disbelief, unable to accept this fact. How did she become a Saint?
Was it so easy to advance to the Saint Realm?
She was so young!
“Uncle, could she be wearing a defensive Saint artifact that can withstand attacks from Saints? Don’t let her deception fool you!” Gu Jinyue said sharply.
She didn’t believe that Gu Qingluan was a Saint. If Gu Qingluan became a Saint, did she still have a chance for revenge?
If the Fifth Prince found out that Gu Qingluan was a Saint, he would definitely marry her, leaving no chance for herself!
In Cheng Yuan, Saints held an unparalleled position.
Gu Jinyue was well aware of what being a Saint meant.
It would not only bring endless glory to the family but also immense benefits. The Fifth Prince would certainly not give up such an opportunity.
Gu Zhicheng’s face turned iron-gray as he said, “She also consumed the Universe Stabilizer!”
The difficulty of refining the Universe Stabilizer Pill was widely known.
Gu Zhicheng hadn’t thought that Mr. Liu would still have it.
If he had known…
Suddenly, Gu Zhicheng thought of the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince wanted to marry Gu Qingluan because of the power of the Island of No Return.
Now it seemed like a wise decision.
Gu Qingluan was merely on good terms with Mr. Liu, and she could easily obtain the Universe Stabilizer Pill.
If they could establish a relationship with the Island of No Return, wouldn’t it be easy for them to obtain their elixirs?
Their status would undoubtedly rise to a higher level!
Gu Zhicheng’s eyes changed rapidly.
While Gu Qingluan listened to his judgment, she paused for a moment and then smiled.
The excuse he found for her breakthrough in cultivation sounded quite reasonable.
If someone asked how she improved her cultivation so quickly, she now had a good reason.
Thinking this way, Gu Qingluan tacitly accepted Gu Zhicheng’s conclusion. The rest of the Gu family was dumbfounded.
A strong sense of fear spread in their hearts, as if demons crawling out of hell were gradually devouring their souls..
