Chapter 52 I'm not some delicate, naive little girl
"Jiang Yu, are you sure you want to succeed to the position of Holy Son? It's not too late to back out now."
Jiang Yu secretly transmitted his voice to Jiang Yu.
The position of the Holy Son is prestigious and offers access to more resources.
But with a monster like Gu Qing around, being the Holy Son this year won't be easy.
Therefore, she had subtly reminded Jiang Yu that there was a prodigy in the Star God Temple, and that he should give up on the Holy Son and give up pursuing Su Qingyue.
Jiang Yu has exceptional talent and the potential to become a god and ascend to immortality. It would be such a pity if he were to perish.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yu wouldn't listen to advice.
However, the Star Temple has a rule: whoever defeats the Holy Son and sweeps away the current generation of disciples can apply to become the Holy Son.
"Thank you for your concern, Hall Master. This disciple will never regret it."
Jiang Yu stood calmly in the center of the square, replying in a firm and resounding tone: "In this glorious world, how can a disciple bind his own hands and feet, confining himself to one place?"
"Even if that prodigy is exceptionally talented, I have a sword that can sweep away my peers, and I also have a sword that I ask Heaven to challenge: does it dare to be my enemy?"
Jiang Yu's internal energy and blood erupted, radiating brilliant divine light, and his blazing fighting spirit soared into the sky.
Endless rays of sunlight, moonlight, and stars surged toward him, and Jiang Yu's cultivation level rose steadily.
As they climbed step by step toward the high platform, their momentum grew stronger with each step.
Boom~!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Yu's cultivation level broke through to the eighth level of the Void Dao Realm, immediately drawing gasps of astonishment from the crowd.
"Humph, just pretending."
Wei Yiqing, who was defeated by Jiang Yu, was filled with murderous intent towards Jiang Yu.
Clearly, he believed that Jiang Yu did it on purpose, deliberately getting stuck at the bottleneck and breaking through in the main hall today.
This is to attract more attention and prove that they are unparalleled.
After all, the higher the level, the harder it is to break through.
The Void Dao Realm requires comprehending the laws of heaven and earth; how could one possibly break through in just a few steps?
"Do you dare to oppose Heaven? How arrogant..."
Jiang Yu shook her head secretly, her gaze falling on Jiang Yu.
His expression was calm and composed, yet his fighting spirit soared to the heavens; he possessed an extraordinary temperament and the potential to become a prodigy.
However, this tone is far too arrogant and ignorant.
It's utterly laughable that someone at the mere Void Dao Realm dares to question the heavens about whether they dare to be an enemy.
She had originally intended to take Jiang Yu as her apprentice, believing that with a little guidance, he would surely become a great talent.
In retrospect, the idea of taking on apprentices was hasty.
If your personality is flawed, even the greatest talent will be useless.
Jiang Yu immediately closed her eyes and stopped paying attention to Jiang Yu.
Good words can't persuade the devil to die.
Since Jiang Yu wants to die, let him go.
When he meets Gu Qing, this freak, he will naturally realize that the so-called "Heaven-Asking Sword" is nothing but a load of rubbish.
No one could withstand Gu Qing's punch.
"how so…"
After completing the grand ceremony for the succession of the Holy Son, Jiang Yu frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
The ceremony for the Holy Son of the Star Temple was grand in its beginnings, but it ended rather anticlimactically.
Those Supreme Realm elders were indifferent and their etiquette was perfunctory.
Furthermore, his sudden breakthrough only caused a moment of shock among the crowd before they stopped paying attention.
This shouldn't be the case.
Shouldn't these elders and old monsters at the Saint Realm be vying to take him as their disciple?
"Could it be that the higher-ups of the Star Temple don't think highly of me and believe I'm no match for that monster?"
The thought arose, and Jiang Yu's face turned grim. He made up his mind that he must find the monster Jiang Yu had mentioned and settle the score.
Give those snobbish people a good slap in the face.
"Palace Master, may I ask who this so-called monster is?" he asked telepathically.
"Do your job well." Jiang Yu's gentle, heavenly voice was now chillingly cold.
Jiang Yu had no doubt that if he dared to act arrogantly, he would be annihilated by Jiang Yu in an instant.
This sent a chill down his spine.
Some doubt about life.
In his mind, he should be surrounded by crowds and the Star Temple should be at his beck and call.
Jiang Yu had already made up his mind to become Jiang Yu's apprentice.
After all, Jiang Yu is at the peak of the Saint Realm and is known as one of the two peerless talents along with Zhi Meng. She could break through to the Divine Fire Realm at any time.
And having such a beautiful master is pleasing to the eye, isn't it?
But the reality is quite the opposite.
Jiang Yu guessed that it might be because of the monstrous genius hidden in the Star God Temple.
His resolve to kill that monster grew even stronger.
But before that, he had more important things to do.
Jiang Yu walked step by step to Su Qingyue, looking at her calmly.
The original owner was a total simp, but he wasn't.
That's right, Jiang Yu is a time traveler with a sign-in system.
The original owner gave Su Qingyue countless rare and precious materials, and he felt heartbroken just thinking about it; he had to take them back.
He also publicly clarified that he, Jiang Yu, is not a simp.
Su Qingyue frowned, feeling a surge of tension, but her aura remained undiminished. She stared coldly at Jiang Yu, her gaze as icy as ice.
Like a fairy from the Moon Palace, untouched by worldly affairs, beautiful yet cold.
Su Qingyue made up her mind that as long as Jiang Yu dared to express his love, she would refuse him without any mercy.
"Huh."
"So what if you become the Holy Son?"
“A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.”
The disciples looked at Jiang Yu with mocking eyes, waiting for him to embarrass himself.
Although Jiang Yu's sudden increase in cultivation and combat power changed their impression of him quite a bit.
But Jiang Yu's image as a sycophant is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
After a moment of eye contact, before Su Qingyue could speak first, a fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Jiang Yu's face, and he said indifferently.
"Saintess Su".
"Is something wrong?"
"you…"
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, then said coldly, "Since Saintess Su doesn't like me, then return all the rare and precious materials I've given her over the years."
"..."
Su Qingyue's beautiful eyes showed a look of astonishment.
Chu Yao was equally stunned by Jiang Yu's words. She scrutinized Jiang Yu with her fox-like eyes, wondering if he had been possessed.
After all, she knew how much Jiang Yu fawned over her.
Moreover, Jiang Yu's temperament and personality are completely different now than before.
"Hey, what did Jiang Yu just say? He wants the Holy Maiden to return the treasures she gave away? Did I hear that right?"
"I also suspect I misheard."
The onlookers were stunned, then looked at Jiang Yu with disdain and made sarcastic remarks.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the young patriarch of the Jiang family, an immortal clan, would be so tasteless, wanting to take back what he gave away."
"That's right. If you were unwilling to give it away, why pretend to be rich in the first place?"
"Damn, you're a disgrace to us men."
"Junior sister, you see? I told you this kid was all show and no substance, but you didn't believe me."
"do not talk."
Many of the proud young women who had feelings for Jiang Yu stomped their feet in anger and wanted to cover their faces.
Hearing the crowd's mockery, Jiang Yu's lips curled into a disdainful smile, and he said calmly, "Saintess Su, if you didn't like me in the first place, why did you accept my gifts?"
Although it's a bit shameful to ask for the treasures that were given away back, they were real money.
Besides, what's wrong with him asking for his things back?
Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, everyone seemed to be deep in thought, and their gazes turned to Su Qingyue.
Su Qingyue felt extremely nervous under everyone's gaze, so she took a deep breath.
"Okay..." She wanted to return the magic item, since she had fed it to the pigs, and then exchange it for another one.
"and many more."
Chu Yao quickly stopped Su Qingyue and pulled her behind her.
Su Qingyue was naive and unaware of the complexities involved, but she understood all too well.
As long as Su Qingyue returns the treasure, regardless of right or wrong, Su Qingyue will no longer be the flawless fairy.
"Jiang Shengzi, do you want the gift you sent back?"
Chu Yao asked with a smile.
The fox's eyes were bright, with a slight upturn at the corners, like those of a cunning fox spirit.
"Yes."
Jiang Yu nodded, his hands clasped behind his back with a nonchalant air.
"Giggle."
"I, Chu Yao, have traveled all over the country and seen countless customs and cultures. This is the first time I've ever heard of a gift that was given away being asked to be returned."
"If I remember correctly, Qingyue made it clear from the beginning that she didn't like you, but you were the one who shamelessly begged and forced your way in."
"Now that you regret it, you want to come back. Jiang Shengzi has truly opened my eyes."
Chu Yao covered her mouth and giggled, a cold glint appearing in her eyes.
She's not some delicate, naive young girl.
Jiang Yu wants to salvage his reputation, reclaim the treasure, and climb to the top by stepping on Su Qingyue. Has he asked her beforehand?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu's face turned ugly, and he was furious inside.
What does it mean to be shameless and beg for something?
Did the original owner really fawn over her like that?
Well, there really is.
"I never expected you to be this kind of person."
“tui…”
Everyone instantly felt contempt and a chill ran down their spines.
I can't imagine how beautiful it would be to beg and plead for something so desperately.
Jiang Yu has completely disgraced all men.
Jiang Yu's face was grim, and he cursed the original owner of the body in his mind.
Now he's in a bit of a bind.
If Su Qingyue had disliked him from the beginning, he wouldn't be in such a passive position if he wanted to return what he had given away.
But Su Qingyue didn't play by the rules and remained coldly silent.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Open the bow without turning back the arrow.
Jiang Yu's eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to cleave this vixen in two with a single sword stroke. He said in a cold tone, "Saintess Su, you wouldn't want to have your cake and eat it too, would you?"
"Young Master Jiang, you start by throwing mud at people. Is this how the Jiang family is raised?"
"To tell you the truth, all the rare and precious materials you sent were taken by Qingyue to feed the pigs."
Chu Yao retorted clearly and logically, her stunningly beautiful face revealing a mocking expression.
"Feeding pigs?"
Jiang Yu's expression instantly crumbled.
Everyone present couldn't hold back any longer, their eyes widening in shock.
They knew without even thinking that the treasure Jiang Yu gave them was definitely not ordinary.
How could such a precious treasure be wasted on feeding pigs?
damned.
"You do not believe?"
“I have a recording jade here. Although it only recorded a few short clips, it was definitely fed to the pigs.”
Chu Yao immediately took out the image-recording stone and displayed the scene of Su Qingyue feeding the food.
This was due to her perverse sense of humor; she found it hilarious that a fairy was feeding pigs, so she secretly recorded it, intending to use it to blackmail her girlfriends at any time.
Wow!
The picture is so beautiful.
Su Qingyue's smile was pure and beautiful. She held the pink and tender little pig, poking and stroking it, and playfully tugging at its ears, grinning and laughing.
Where is even a trace of her aloof goddess demeanor?
"No!"
Su Qingyue covered her face; her aloof goddess image, which she had maintained for many years, collapsed instantly.
"The goddess is so cute..."
"The saintess is so beautiful..."
"This little girl."
Jiang Yu spoke with a doting tone, but also with some annoyance. It was such a pity that such an excellent disciple had been taken in by Zhi Meng first.
"Jiang Yu, don't go too far. What kind of skill is it to deceive Saintess Su like this?"
"That's right, once something is given away, it belongs to someone else."
"Tsk, is this the kind of person the young patriarch of the Jiang family is?"
The prodigies who came to witness the ceremony, upon learning the whole story, were immediately enraged and began to mock.
Jiang Yu's face turned ashen.
He knew he was finished.
Today was supposed to be his moment of glory.
However, he became the target of ridicule.
No matter how great his achievements become in the future, he will probably never be able to wash away this shame, and it will stay with him for the rest of his life.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Saint Jiang, the magic weapon you gave me was also thrown away by the Saintess."
"So I regret to inform you that Qingyue cannot return anything you have given away."
"Of course, if you're really so poor that you need a few coins, I, Chu Yao, can give you some."
Chu Yao's words were well said.
It was clearly meant to mock Jiang Yu, yet no one could find fault with it.
Jiang Yu was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and his handsome face was somewhat distorted.
He took a deep breath, glanced at Chu Yao with murderous intent, and turned to leave.
Although he really wanted to slap Chu Yao to death on the spot, Jiang Yu wasn't stupid, and the elders and the palace master ignored him.
He currently only holds the title of Holy Son, but has no real power as a Holy Son, and has no backing in the Star Temple.
If he dares to kill Chu Yao in public, he will surely die.
Even the Jiang family couldn't save him.
The Temple of Stars is no ordinary sect.
Even the most divine body cannot do whatever it wants.
However, he will not let Chu Yao go.
If we can't kill him today, it's not too late to do it tomorrow.
He was just a mere inner disciple; they could kill him on any pretext.
"Lord, when do you think he will die?"
Jiang Yu looked at the person who had sent the telepathic message.
"Cough, just kidding, just kidding."
He gave an awkward smile and then continued talking to others.
“Once Gu Qing comes out of seclusion, he will surely die.”
"Who doesn't know that? Let's guess, how many moves would it take to kill him?"
"It's hard to say. Who knows how many treasures the Jiang family gave him?"
"Tsk tsk, how tragic. This glorious era is destined to be buried by a single punch."
