Chapter 571 Gu Qingrou
"Come in~"
Upon arriving at the entrance of the main hall, Li Yao knocked twice, and a mature and pleasant voice came from inside.
Pushing open the door, Li Yao led Lin Que inside.
The interior decorations were not particularly opulent; the use of ice-resistant carvings gave it a slightly cold and austere feel.
Upon entering the main hall, Lin Que immediately saw a mature and beautiful woman in the center of the hall. She was dressed in an elegant palace gown, exuding a gentle and mature charm, and had a kind smile on her face.
In Lin Que's eyes, in the parlance of Earth, she was... a mature woman like a caring older sister.
This must be Li Yao's master, Palace Master Qingyue.
as predicted!
While holding Lin Que's hand, Li Yao introduced him to the beautiful woman with a happy smile: "Master, this is Lin Que."
There were no sect rules whatsoever, nor any respectful greetings.
It looked so natural!
It's clear that Li Yao and this beautiful woman are very close!
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman smiled gently and said softly, "I know, Liyao, you may leave now."
"I would like to have a private talk with Fellow Daoist Lin."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que raised an eyebrow!
As the lord of a sacred land, he actually calls himself a "fellow Daoist".
interesting!
“Alright, but Master,” Li Yao nodded and said, “If Lin Que has offended you in any way, please don’t take it to heart!”
"Sometimes people are like that; they talk nonsense."
"But there was absolutely no malicious intent!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que and the beautiful Qingyue Palace Master were speechless and amused!
What do you mean I'm talking nonsense?
So this is how I am in your eyes, girl?
With this thought in mind, Lin Que glanced at Li Yao with annoyance, while the latter merely made a face at him.
At this moment, Li Yao was just like a little girl.
It actually looks kind of cute!
"You!" The beautiful Mistress of Qingyue Palace said, both amused and annoyed, "I've raised you for so long, and now that you're all grown up, you're turning your back on me, aren't you?"
"Alright, I know what to do."
"Besides, given Fellow Daoist Lin's current reputation, there's nothing I can do to him!"
"Don't worry about me, little girl."
"Alright, then Liyao will take her leave for now." Liyao thought about it and realized it was true, so she prepared to leave towards the door.
"I have long admired Palace Mistress Qingyue. I am honored to meet you!" Lin Que stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Qingyue smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need for that. However, I only wish to have a private chat with Fellow Daoist Lin."
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin would be willing?"
"Of course!" Lin Que smiled, knowing what she meant.
He immediately grabbed Feng Jiuyou from his shoulder and handed it to Li Yao.
Li Yao understood and quickly led Feng Jiuyou out of the main hall.
"What would the Palace Master like to discuss with me?"
Lin Que also felt a little strange for a moment. He was supposed to have something to talk about with Palace Master Qingyue, but it felt like the roles were reversed.
After becoming the main character of Qingyue Palace, she had a chat with herself.
This shift in priorities gave Lin Que a strange feeling.
But the next moment!
The beautiful Palace Mistress of Qingyue Palace actually bowed slightly to Lin Que and said apologetically, "Regarding the matter of Li Yao marrying the young master of Tianyou Valley, I would like to say 'sorry' to Fellow Daoist Lin!"
"I also want to thank Fellow Daoist Lin for saving me back then; I almost caused a great disaster!"
"It's ruined that girl Li Yao..."
Seeing this, Lin Que quickly said, "No...please don't!"
"Palace Mistress Qingyue, there's no need for this!"
"Besides, that wasn't your original intention; it was Li Yao's own!"
"Besides, this matter is already in the past, and there's no need to dwell on it anymore."
Clearly, the Palace Mistress of Qingyue was apologizing for what happened back then.
However, the fault did not lie with her. It was Li Yao who took the initiative to agree, as she had told Lin Que about it afterward.
It's no wonder Li Yao did this, because the Palace Master of Qingyue was just too good to her, as can be seen from the relationship between the two of them just now.
Moreover, to be honest, Qingyue Palace Master's gentle personality gave Lin Que a very good first impression!
She was so good that Lin Que felt she was completely unsuitable to be the master of this palace, especially a powerful force like Qingyue Immortal Palace, which was a sacred land of the heavens.
Lin Que couldn't detect the slightest decisiveness in her!
This is actually quite fatal for the ruler of a palace!
This indicates that the person is unable to make very effective decisions when it comes to major decisions within a certain sect, or when faced with life-or-death situations!
Take Huan Qingcheng for example. Although she usually appears gentle, she never hesitates or struggles when it comes to important decisions for the sect.
Fortunately, Qingyue Immortal Palace is one of the four holy lands of Fengtian Continent, which makes it untouchable.
If the Palace Master of Qingyue Palace were just an ordinary sect leader, she might have been devoured long ago.
"Although it was Li Yao's own decision, I was also partly to blame." Palace Mistress Qingyue said softly, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gu Qingrou."
"She is the twenty-sixth Palace Master of Qingyue Immortal Palace."
As her name suggests, she is gentle and kind...
"Now that we know each other, I won't waste any more words." Gu Qingrou's voice rang out again: "I presume Fellow Daoist Lin has already discerned something from me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que remained silent for a moment, but still nodded.
"Then why don't you tell me, Fellow Daoist Lin?" Gu Qingrou looked at Lin Que with a pair of beautiful eyes that were full of smiles.
Touching his nose, Lin Que said, "You are not suitable to be the master of this palace."
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent instantly...
Gu Qingrou's gaze began to become complicated at this moment!
After a long silence, Gu Qingrou sighed softly, "Ah~! Fellow Daoist Lin, you're right..."
"Given my personality, I am indeed not suited to be the master of this Qingyue Immortal Palace."
"So many disciples of Qingyue Immortal Palace follow me; to be honest, they've suffered a lot."
bitter?
No matter how bitter it is, you are still one of the holy places.
Although Gu Qingrou's personality was not suitable to be the head of this palace, the peaceful scene within the sect showed that the disciples of Qingyue Immortal Palace still loved and respected Gu Qingrou.
A peaceful scene...
and many more!
Lin Que was suddenly startled!
It quickly dawned on me!
Considering her past seeking help from Tianyou Valley, it turns out that the "suffering" Gu Qingrou spoke of wasn't what she was going through now!
Seeing the change in Lin Que's expression, Gu Qingrou smiled and said, "As expected of Fellow Daoist Lin, you made the connection so quickly. I am finally sure that I did not misjudge you!"
"Palace Master Gu, what does this mean?" Lin Que frowned, somewhat confused by Gu Qingrou's last words.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingrou shook her head and said softly, "We'll talk about that later. I presume Fellow Daoist Lin has come here for the matter of the Frost Moon Empire."
"Right?"
These words surprised Lin Que slightly!
He hadn't even said anything yet, but Gu Qingrou was able to guess the purpose of his visit!
Although her personality isn't ideal for becoming the head of a palace, Gu Qingrou does possess other remarkable qualities.
"That's right!" Lin Que nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "But I wonder, Palace Master Gu, how did you guess that?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingrou smiled faintly and said, "The actions of the Lotus Buddha Kingdom and the Immortal Pavilion, as well as the Tianxuan Academy and the Tianji Pavilion which has not appeared for a long time, plus the recent actions of the Lieyang Empire."
"I could probably guess it was Fellow Daoist Lin at a glance."
"As for why it is Fellow Daoist Lin and not someone else, it is because in the past few decades, Fellow Daoist Lin is the only man who has visited my Qingyue Immortal Palace!"
"That doesn't quite make sense, does it?" Lin Que said, somewhat speechless. "Others could go directly to Empress Frostmoon. Is it possible that I'm simply here to see Li Yao?"
Gu Qingrou shook her head and smiled confidently, "Absolutely impossible!"
"Why?" This certainty only fueled Lin Que's curiosity.
"That's because..." Gu Qingrou smiled at Lin Que as she said this.
"The current Frost Moon Empress is my senior sister!"
