Chapter 54: 054 will suffer consequences later.

When Gu Yang saw Xu Ruomei again, his gaze was as serene as an ancient well.

He had figured it out. This woman was merely using him as a tool for her practice.

Her cultivation required her to live life as an ordinary person would: getting married, having children. It was just his luck that he was involved in this phase.

Once her cultivation period ended, she would sever all earthly attachments, reach the realm of Divine Power, and simply walk away without any remorse. The martial techniques of this world were certainly a complex and divergent bunch.

Could the “Dust Sword technique” truly be a demonic martial art?

But that was not all.

What truly chilled his heart was that by the end of their journey, when he died, Xu Ruomei was nowhere to be found. However, she had already ascended to the realm of Divine Power. If she had any vestiges of affection left, wouldn’t she have saved him from his untimely demise?

This woman was ruthless and devoid of any compassion.

Now that Gu Yang had recognized this deception for what it was, he would naturally avoid falling into it again.

He was increasingly realizing the impermanence of life. In his last simulation, Xu Ruomei had chosen to die with him just to kill him.

This time around, however, she was willingly agreeing to marry him.

The dissimilar outcomes were all due to his decision to go to another city and exchange the silver note, which only led to a slight delay in his mission to assassinate Lin Ge.

Having understood the future course of events, Gu Yang now knew how to deal with Xu Ruomei.

At the very least, she would not die because of the Element Sealing Bracelet.

Furthermore, Lin Zisheng had ceased causing troubles. Given that the Lin Family had sent over the key later, they must have discovered that Xu Ruomei had been hiding here.

Three months later, when she received the keys, she broke through to the third rank.

He had three more months left.

In this world, strength ruled above all. As long as his cultivation level surpassed hers, she would have no power over him.

Xu Ruomei was oblivious to Gu Yang’s change in disposition. Throughout her life, she had never felt as defeated and helpless as she felt during those times.

After losing her cultivation level, the usually aloof her was plagued by a sense of hopelessness and weakness.

Unbeknownst to her, she began to rely on the man who had shattered her Daoist Heart and who had saved her life. This was a sentiment she had never experienced before.

As Gu Yang sat facing her, infusing True Qi into the bracelet, sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating his face and making it glisten.

A short while later, he abruptly finished his practice and then left the room without uttering a single word.

Watching Gu Yang’s retreating figure, Xu Ruomei was filled with a faint sense of melancholy.

All these emotions were new to her.

She abruptly understood how she was going to immerse herself back into the earthly realm.

“Brother Gu”.

When Gu Yang stepped out of Xu Ruomei’s room, he saw a familiar face. It was the young servant Zhi Xing. Seeing her cheery expression made him feel better instantly.

“What brings you here?” he asked her.

“The young mistress sent me to buy some cloth. I dropped by to visit Brother Gu on my way,” Zhi Xing replied, holding a basket. “These are meat crisps. I made them myself. Try some.”

Once they moved to the city, those past discomforts were slowly fading away.

Gu Yang accepted the basket with a hearty laugh and asked her, “So, are you enjoying your time with the Qingxuan Sect?”

“Oh, it’s great! Everyone there has been so nice,” Zhi Xing answered enthusiastically before abruptly freezing and staring past Gu Yang.

A woman of exceptional beauty had just walked out from behind him.

This was the first time she had met someone who could match her mistress’s grace and refinement.
