Killing God - Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Deep Conspiracy
“Ah …”

When Shen Shi heard the words “he is still alive”, his mind instantly became slightly dizzy. The string in his heart, which was tightened to the extreme, finally relaxed in an instant. It had been eight years, eight whole years. He had missed his father countless times, until today, it was the first time he had heard the exact news about him.

Looking at Shen Shi who had lost his composure, Gu Lingyun did not have a strange expression on his face. However, the gaze in his bright eyes was still a little soft, but that was all. If he did not look carefully, he would not even be able to detect anything.

Shen Shi took a deep breath and took a step forward. The excitement on his face was still there. Even his voice carried a trace of tremor as he said, “Then, where is he now?”

Gu Lingyun crossed her fingers and placed them on her lower abdomen. She leaned back in her chair and looked at Shen Shi. However, she shook her head and said, “I can’t tell you.”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and asked in shock, “Why?”

Gu Lingyun said indifferently, “Back then, it was agreed that the period of invisibility was ten years. Now, there are at least two years left. Please wait patiently.”

An anxious expression flashed across Shen Shi’s face. However, Gu Lingyun waved his hand and said, “I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. Actually, after your father left the Yin Province, other people took over the arrangements for the follow-up. Even I don’t know where he is now.”

Shen Shi was stunned again. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, but his voice was a little low. “Is this to guard against the revenge of the Li Clan of the Xuanyin Sect?”

Gu Lingyun looked at him with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She nodded and said, “Exactly.” Whether it was business or business, the most important thing for the Divine Immortal Society was the word’trust ‘. “Since I promised your father that I would keep him safe that day, this Council will naturally do it. Even if the Li Clan catches me in the worst case scenario, they won’t be able to find out your father’s whereabouts from me. However, this kind of thing will hardly happen.”

As she spoke, she smiled, revealing an indescribable confidence. She didn’t know if this confidence had confidence in herself, or if she had faith in the strength of the Divine Immortal Society.

Shen Shi lowered his head slightly. There was a hint of disappointment on his face. After so many years, he finally heard some news about his father who had been separated for so many years. Although he was happy and gratified, he was unable to truly see Shen Tai. However, there was always some disappointment in his heart.

“Aunt Gu, since you said that you don’t know where my father is, why do you know about his current situation and say that he is still alive?”

Shen Shi lowered his head and pondered for a moment. When he raised his head again, his expression had calmed down a little, but there was a hint of doubt on his face.

Gu Lingyun calmly said, “First, I was the one who handled the incident back then. I arranged for your father to escape from the Yin Continent afterwards. Although I don’t know where he actually went, as long as I ask him about the general situation, someone will naturally tell me. Second,” She smiled, her face as beautiful as a flower, and said,

“Secondly, after these eight years, I have also reached a few levels in the Divine Immortal Gathering. My authority is a bit greater, so I will naturally have more information.”

Shen Shi glanced at her and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Then how is my father now?”

Gu Lingyun crossed her fingers in front of her and flicked them slightly. She did not immediately reply. Instead, she stared at Shen Shi for a while, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, when Shen Shi saw that he was already somewhat anxious, she nodded and said, “He is not in the Primordial Chaos Master Realm right now.”

Shen Shi was shocked, but he heard Gu Lingyun continue. “After leaving the Yin Province, it should be someone from this Council who directly took him out of the Primordial Chaos Main World and went to a remote foreign world. Then, he settled down in one of the cities that I didn’t know about, and arranged for him to host the new branch store that this Council had just opened there.”

Shen Shi suddenly raised his brows and looked at Gu Lingyun. The beautiful woman smiled faintly and said, “Your father has failed to cultivate, but he is a rare talent in business. This association is known as the Hongmeng First Chamber of Commerce. Of course, such a talent should be reused.”

Shen Shi was silent for a while. After taking a deep breath, his expression became somewhat strange. He slowly said, “In other words, back then, you first used our father and son to plot against that Origin Core Realm elder of the Li Clan, thus completing what a great figure had instructed you to do.” At the same time, using the name of protection to make my father leave the Yin Province, he just happened to eliminate his biggest opponent in Xilu City’s business. “And then I asked my father to go to that remote alien world and use him to open a new shop for you. Is that so?”

He looked at Gu Lingyun, who had a calm expression and neither nodded nor shook his head. He whispered, “Immortals can do things. Indeed, they have done extremely well for people and things.”

Gu Lingyun said indifferently, “You shouldn’t blame us. After all, we did everything we promised you back then, including saving your father’s life and escaping the pursuit of the Li Clan, and then protecting you to enter the Soaring Firmament Sect to cultivate.”

Shen Shi shook his head and said, “Aunt Gu, you misunderstood. I have no intention of blaming the Divine Immortal Association. However, when I heard this, my heart trembled. If I really wanted to say it, I would be extremely impressed.”

Gu Lingyun smiled, and his expression seemed to soften a little. “It seems that you have indeed grown up, and your knowledge isn’t too bad.”

Shen Shi didn’t pay much attention to her evaluation. After pondering for a moment, he still asked her, “Then when will I be able to see my father?”

Gu Lingyun’s gaze flickered slightly as he said, “Two years. If possible, I’ll try to ask for your father’s permission two years later. See if I can transfer your father from that remote alien world to Floating Cloud City.”

Shen Shi’s body trembled slightly, and his gaze towards Gu Lingyun instantly changed.

“Just now, you said, how high has your status in the Divine Immortal Gathering risen in the past eight years?” After the initial pleasant surprise, Shen Shi quickly fell silent. After a long while, he finally asked this question.

Gu Lingyun nodded slightly and said, “Yes, you see, Xilu City and Floating Cloud City are incomparable, and the Yin Province is also far from the Hai Province, which is known as the number one continent in the southern part of the Primordial Chaos and is guarded by the Four Great Clans of Lingxiao Sect. Therefore, I am able to sit on the shopkeeper of this branch of Floating Cloud City. Compared to back then, it is probably …”

After thinking for a while, she pressed her palm slightly and said with a smile, “Back then, I was standing on the first floor of this building in Xilu City, but now, I’m sitting on the third floor.”

Shen Shi nodded, but then he said, “Your advancement in the Divine Immortal Gathering was so smooth. You must have benefited from a lot of things that happened in Xilu City back then, especially the mysterious figure that we didn’t know was plotting against the Li Clan’s Yuan Dan Elder. Did he also feel happy that you did this so beautifully? So he also took care of you?”

Gu Lingyun frowned slightly for the first time, and her expression was somewhat solemn, as if she looked at Shen Shi with a slightly different gaze. However, after staring at him for a moment, her expression suddenly relaxed, as if it didn’t matter. She smiled and said,

After your father left, no one in Xilu City was able to contend against me in business, so within a few years, I managed to flourish the flower business of that branch store. The big shots in the club looked happy and felt that I had some ability, so they slowly promoted me.

Shen Shi sighed. His expression was slightly gloomy, as if he remembered something from the past. He said indifferently, “Back then, my father told me that you had far-reaching plans and schemes. I never cared much about you, but it was only today that I finally understood what he meant. Shopkeeper Gu, Aunt Gu, admire, admire!”

With that, he cupped his hands and bowed to Gu Lingyun.

Gu Lingyun waved her hand. Just as she was about to say something, two knocks suddenly came from the door. A moment later, the door was pushed open with a creak. Master Wu came in with a Ruyi bag and said to Gu Lingyun, “Everything is done.”

Gu Lingyun nodded and went forward to find the Ruyi Bag. “I’ll just tell him about the rest of the matter. You can go and get busy first,” Gu Lingyun said.

Master Wu agreed and glanced at Shen Shi. He turned around and walked towards the door. However, when he was about to leave the door, he turned around and smiled. “Young Master Shen, if you have nothing else to do, you can come and sit in this shop. Perhaps there are some rare spirit materials that can broaden your horizons.”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then he hurriedly nodded and smiled, “Yes, I will definitely come to consult Master Wu at that time.”

Master Wu chuckled and turned around.

Gu Lingyun looked at Master Wu’s departing figure with a calm expression. However, the light in her bright eyes seemed to flash for a moment. Then, she gently closed the door and said to Shen Shi,

“There are four thousand spirit crystals in this Ruyi bag. It can be counted as the cost of buying that Kuiwen Demon Pill. You can directly take the spirit crystals away, but if you find it troublesome,” she tossed her palm at Shen Shi and threw an object at him.

Shen Shi caught it and looked carefully. It was a white jade pearl, about half the size of a fist. The jade was warm and bright, with the word “God” carved in the middle.

“This is a kind of strange bead made by the Divine Immortal Association. It can directly record the number of spirit crystals a guest has in this shop. It can be retrieved at any cost. It is very convenient. In addition, it is qualified to participate in some activities prepared by special guests of the Divine Immortal Association privately. “This divine pearl has several colors that correspond to the different grades of our customers. However, even the lowest grade ‘White Divine Pearl’ is not something that anyone can obtain.”

She smiled and said, “With my authority, I can only issue this White God Pearl. Do you want it?”

Shen Shi held the white divine pearl in his hand, and his heart couldn’t help but stir. With his experience, he knew that the benefits of this white divine pearl were definitely not small. However, this favor, especially the favor this woman wanted to give him, made Shen Shi subconsciously nervous and wary.

“This thing is naturally good, but I wonder what Aunt Gu wants me to do?” Shen Shi sighed and said, “It can’t really be because I called you Aunt Gu, right?”

Gu Lingyun smiled faintly and said, “You’re really a smart person. You’re not tired at all from talking to you.”

Shen Shi fell silent. Then, he gently placed the white divine pearl on the table and said, “Aunt Gu, if you have anything, please tell me first. I’ll see if I can do it first.”

Gu Lingyun glanced at the warm white divine pearl. His eyes lit up and he said leisurely, “Perhaps in two years, I will go up and ask for your father to leave the Wilderness Bitter Land. But perhaps it will be a long time before I forget it.”

Shen Shi frowned and his expression quickly sank. He looked at Gu Lingyun. However, this beautiful woman did not seem to care about his sharp gaze at all. She continued to stand there with a smile and looked at him quietly.

After a while, Shen Shi lowered his head and said quietly, “Auntie Gu, please tell me, if I can help you, Shen Shi will do his best to do it for you.”
