Mu Wanqing's words did not give any face to Qihuang Mountain.

Huang Yang's face turned extremely ugly.

Gu Chi narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Huang Yang.

Hong Yuan and other disciples of Qihuang Mountain had their swords half-drawn, their expressions unfriendly.

This time, the smell of gunpowder was much stronger than before.

Mr. Liu was at a loss, and Qin Baichuan, who had been watching the show, also restrained his smile, stood up, and stared at the stage with a serious expression.

The discussions among the onlookers ceased, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

If they were to fight again, it wouldn't be as simple as fighting over a marriage.

If the head of a sect personally intervened, it might even trigger a sect war.

And the disciples of the Gentleman Pavilion were still busy writing...

Among the nine sect masters and the emperor of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Mu Wanqing's cultivation should be the highest. Coupled with the fact that the "operator" might be a player, Gu Chi felt that he probably couldn't defeat him. You could never guess what dirty tricks an experienced player might have up their sleeve.

But he wasn't too afraid either. He could just take Huang Yang and leave. When he also broke through to the Transcendent Realm, he could come back and have a chat with Mu Wanqing about life.

So Gu Chi held Huang Yang's hand.

Huang Yang was taken aback for a moment. She slightly tilted her head and looked at Gu Chi's profile. A hint of tenderness flashed through her angry eyes, like a fleeting moment.

Ignoring the pressure that Gu Changge faced as the owner of Qinghuan Tower, the fact remained that she and Gu Chi were just acting. If it was only for fame, Gu Chi could just stand by and remain silent, then part ways with her afterwards and find an opportunity to get close to Luo Qingshu. This way, he could gain both fame and fortune.

She could think of this, so there was no reason for Gu Chi not to.

Now that her Spirit Phoenix bloodline was broken, dual cultivation with Gu Chi would not benefit him in any way. Apart from her identity as a Holy Maiden, she couldn't compare to Luo Qingshu in any aspect.

But Gu Chi still chose her clearly.

The act had almost become indistinguishable from reality.

Xia Ling was itching with anger when she saw Gu Chi's actions. Although she knew that from Gu Chi's perspective, it was understandable for him to stand on Huang Yang's side, she was still angry.

Not only angry, but also jealous!

She had even helped Huang Yang come up with strategies to reduce the pressure from other sects...

Xia Ling really wanted to continue to intervene and snatch Gu Chi away from Mu Wanqing--

In fact, she was the one who had called Mu Wanqing here.

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

Before today, Xia Ling didn't know that Gu Chi would be the one to marry Huang Yang. She had called Mu Wanqing to make use of the changes in the rankings to expose Mu Wanqing's identity as a player.

The operation was simple. Mu Wanqing just needed to use the Spirit Jade to inform his subordinates when he appeared, and then they would immediately do something in the name of Princess Yangyue in the remote and barren town they had arrived at earlier.

That was the main purpose.

Mu Wanqing's appearance now was not to ask for help, but to defuse the situation.

She couldn't keep fighting with Huang Yang like this forever.

If Huang Yang insisted on protecting Gu Chi even at the cost of her own life, could Mu Wanqing really kill her?

As for why Mu Wanqing said "snatch", it was the grudge between Qihuang Mountain and Qinghuan Tower, not her intention.

After fighting with Huang Yang, Xia Ling's anger had subsided, although Gu Chi almost overturned the vinegar jar in her heart when he held Huang Yang's hand. But this time, reason prevailed.

Who made her like that guy?

The snow-white long sword in Xia Ling's hand suddenly dissipated, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared. A smile reappeared on her face as she said to Huang Yang, "Sister, I'll let you off today. We'll settle the score next time we meet."

After speaking, Xia Ling didn't stay for even a second. She resisted the urge to look at Gu Chi and left Qihuang Terrace directly.

She changed her address to Huang Yang back to "sister".

"Hoo!" Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flicked his feather duster, following behind Xia Ling.

Huang Yang said coldly, "No need to see them off."

Under Xia Ling's signal, Mu Wanqing glanced meaningfully at Gu Chi, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and then left with Xia Ling.

All the players present could see this expression, and they were already cursing in their hearts.

First Gu Changge, and now Mu Wanqing. How could they, as players, win against them?

Gu Chi also felt a hint of pressure.

Obviously, Xia Ling had achieved her goal. Her strategy of deceiving others had worked perfectly.

But Xia Ling didn't care about all this at the moment. She just wanted to leave Qihuang Mountain as soon as possible to avoid regretting her decision.

As the owner of Qinghuan Tower, Mu Wanqing had seen through countless people and naturally understood the girl's conflicted thoughts.

She smiled and said, "If Her Highness the Princess speaks up now, it's not too late. But if we wait until they finish the ceremony and enter the bridal chamber, I won't be able to help you."

Xia Ling didn't say anything, she just shook her head.Previously, in order to confirm that Gu Yuan was indeed Gu Chi, and not just someone who looked like her and Xia Leng, Xia Ling had specifically used an epic-level instance-exclusive item called "Jungle Tracking". This item could not only reveal a player's real-world name and appearance, but also their basic personal information in the Pure Land game.

Gu Chi's player level was only 5, and he had only played the game twice. This was very unreasonable.

The last time Pure Land recruited new players was more than two months ago. If Gu Chi was chosen as a player at that time, he should have played at least 6 games.

Xia Ling didn't quite understand this data, but one thing was certain, Gu Chi was a real newbie. He needed to win this game even more than she did.

Even if he didn't need it as much, Xia Ling didn't want Gu Chi to lose.

And this game was PVP. If Gu Chi wanted to win, he needed to have enough power. Huang Yang could help him.

Originally, Xia Ling could have helped him too. The Spirit Stones of the Qian Yuan Dynasty were really abundant.

If she had met Gu Chi earlier, she would have directly snatched him away and stuffed Spirit Stones into his mouth every day. How could Huang Yang have a chance?

Unfortunately, there were no ifs.

Xia Ling had almost absorbed all the Spirit Stones she could get, so even if she got Gu Chi, she couldn't help him improve his cultivation. After all, she didn't have the bloodline of the Spirit Phoenix...

Xia Ling also wanted to be intimate with Gu Chi, but for now, the game was more important.

She had inexplicably skipped two days in the real world before. If she wasn't careful, something bad might happen. Gu Chi needed to grow up quickly.

Anyway, after the game ended, the players would return to their state before entering the instance. She could just pretend that Gu Chi was lonely and had a moment of passion, playing a little game with him.

Unless she couldn't control herself, she wouldn't bother to be jealous of an NPC.

Xia Ling didn't plan to reveal her identity to Gu Chi for the time being. She didn't want to make things difficult for him.

Well, if love lasts for a long time, it doesn't matter if it's day by day.

That's what Xia Ling thought.

Anyway, let's just leave it at that for now. Any scores could be settled after they returned.

On the other side.

After a series of twists and turns, the wedding ceremony finally proceeded smoothly.

Having composed himself, Gu Chi and Huang Yang completed the wedding ceremony under the envious gazes of everyone.

Huang Yang, who had been calm before, was extremely nervous throughout the ceremony, her palms sweaty.

Fortunately, with Gu Chi's reminders, there were no mistakes.

Next was the wine exchange.

Gu Chi whispered instructions: "Hold hands with your left hand, hold the cup with your right hand."

Huang Yang did as instructed.

Gu Chi: "Clink the cups, cross arms."

Huang Yang continued to follow his instructions.

Gu Chi: "Look into my eyes, let's drink the wine together... we have to finish at the same time."

Huang Yang's evasive gaze had nowhere to hide.

She stood face to face with Gu Chi, close enough to feel each other's warm breath. If she leaned forward a little, she could kiss him.

Huang Yang stared at the man in front of her with her cheeks burning, her attention all on Gu Chi's dark eyes. She felt that this man's eyes were even more intoxicating than the night, and she didn't even know how she managed to drink the wine.

It wasn't until Gu Chi signaled that she could stop that Huang Yang withdrew her hand and put down the cup.

Having completed the ceremony, Huang Yang felt much more relaxed. But when she thought back to the process, she suddenly realized something.

So she stared at Gu Chi.

Gu Chi: "?"

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Huang Yang: "Why are you so proficient?"

Gu Chi: "…"

Of course, it was because he had a rich knowledge of history!

Gu Chi pretended not to understand: "Really? What should we do next?"

Huang Yang: "…"

She thought Gu Chi was really asking, and couldn't help but think of what she had said before.

Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back.

As the Holy Maiden, she had to keep her word.

Huang Yang's pretty face turned red again. She bit her lip slightly, took Gu Chi's hand, and headed towards the Divine Maiden's palace.

Gu Chi didn't react at once: "Where are we going?"

Huang Yang: "To the bridal chamber."

Gu Chi: "…"
