Su Qingge admitted to herself that her heart was in turmoil.
Just now, she had even been a little moved.
For someone like Gu Changge to say such words, it made her feel both flattered and touched.
But she also understood that it would be very difficult to hear a genuine word from Gu Changge.
Being around such a man was like being around a tiger.
To win Gu Changge's favor, that road was still long and difficult.
"If you, Mr.Gu, can trust me this much, Qingge is truly touched," Su Qingge said, her long black hair smooth and her flawless fair face serene as she gently leaned against Gu Changge.
"Touched, or just too afraid to move?" Gu Changge replied casually with a smile.
After all, a woman as intelligent as her wouldn't truly submit just because of a few words from him.
But that didn't matter. As the saying goes, time fosters affection.
Ding—the sound of a system prompt suddenly rang out, surprising Gu Changge.
To his surprise, his fortune points had already increased to one hundred.
Although the color remained unchanged, still black, it was far better than the thirty points he had at the start.
Noticing this change, Gu Changge found the situation even more interesting.
This meant that as long as his fortune points increased quickly enough, he wouldn't need to go through the trouble he had with Ye Chen when dealing with other children of fortune.
After all, without the backlash of fortune, Ye Chen would have been slapped to death by Gu Changge long ago. No need for such a hassle.
"It seems that my method of increasing fortune points is not only through the children of fortune but also through those with great destiny," Gu Changge thought.
"Because of what I just said, although Su Qingge appears unchanged on the surface, she's already close to submitting to me in her heart."
"That's what led to the increase in my fortune points…"
Without asking the system, Gu Changge quickly deduced the truth.
Aside from suppressing children of fortune, he now had another path—conquering those with great fortune.
Meanwhile, the news of Ye Chen's escape from the dungeon was quickly discovered by the people of Tai Xuan Holy Land.
Many elders and disciples were extremely angry, followed by anxiety, fear, and unease.
After all, Ye Chen had offended Mr.Gu.
But because of their failure to properly guard him, Ye Chen had escaped.
If Mr.Gu were to hold them accountable, even if Tai Xuan Holy Land had ten thousand heads, it wouldn't be enough.
The Tai Xuan Holy Lord, who had been confident and decisive just moments ago, was now feeling a bit flustered and uneasy because of this incident.
"Father, there's no need to worry. Mr.Gu won't blame you over this," Su Qingge calmly reassured.
She looked at her daughter, who seemed to be very favored by Gu Changge now.
Upon hearing this, Tai Xuan Holy Lord began to feel more at ease.
"Qingge, if Mr.Gu does hold it against us, you'll have to speak up for your father," he said.
Su Qingge's expression was calm, but inwardly she wanted to roll her eyes and felt a bit helpless.
If Mr.Gu really wanted to do something, how could she persuade him otherwise?
"Father, don't worry," she responded with a reassuring smile.
Su Qingge could tell that Ye Chen had been intentionally let go by Gu Changge.
As for the reason behind it, she couldn't guess.
At the same time, in the main hall of Tai Xuan Holy Land, shadows danced, and the atmosphere was tense and silent.
In the front row stood many prominent figures: Elder Zhao Tian from the Yangxu Holy Land, the former Emperor of the Great Sun Empire, Chu Wuji, and the head of the ancient Xiao family, Xiao Huo, among others.
These were the forces that had come to Tai Xuan Holy Land today.
Men, women, old, and young—everyone sat obediently here, their attitudes exceedingly respectful, not daring to speak.
Not even a breath could be heard.
These forces, taken together, could be considered the most powerful in the Eastern Wilderness.
Under the arrangement of the Tai Xuan Holy Lord, everyone had gathered in the main hall, ready to meet Gu Changge.
They had just received the shocking news: this young lord was actually from the legendary Upper Realm.
This news was absolutely stunning.
It was like a meteor falling into the deep sea, stirring up waves that could not settle.
The Upper Realm.
For the Eastern Wilderness, it was an incredibly mysterious and distant place, representing strength and terror.
In over fifty thousand years, no one had ever broken through the void to ascend to the Upper Realm.
Even the very existence of the Upper Realm had become a vague legend.
But now, they heard that this mysterious young man was from the Upper Realm, here to experience the world.
It was like witnessing a legend come to life.
How huge was the commotion this caused?
It was beyond words.
"No wonder Tai Xuan Holy Land is so calm and arrogant. If my sect had the honor of meeting this young lord, we'd probably be even more arrogant than them…"
At this moment, Zhao Tian, Chu Wuji, Xiao Huo, and others all thought to themselves.
They envied Tai Xuan Holy Land to the point of jealousy and hatred.
At the same time, they secretly rejoiced that they had not actually attempted to break in.
Ascending to the Upper Realm was easy, but descending was not.
Everyone knew that the young lord's background was terrifying beyond measure, someone they could never afford to offend.
At this moment, everyone was incredibly curious about this young lord, eager to catch a glimpse of his true face.
