Chapter 1693: Chapter 1693: Increasing Decline

“You!”

He looked at An Jiuyue with some helplessness, chuckling as he shook his head.

…

That night, the entire Zhedu Sea Area was a pitch-black expanse.

The sound of the waves continuously echoed in their hearts, lulling everyone to sleep, while occasionally a few crabs would crawl in from outside and scuttle about the courtyard.

In Xiang Qiyan’s room, Leader Su leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, it was unclear whether he was asleep or just resting.

There were also two other guards in the room, whispering among themselves.

The long night stretched on, and as they guarded their prince, they naturally couldn’t just do nothing. They had to talk to each other to stay alert, and Leader Su wouldn’t reprimand them for it.

Their conversation went from the venomous snakes on Jade Cloud Mountain to this mansion that had appeared out of nowhere, filled with admiration for the couple Qian Jiyun and his wife.

In the Feather Abyss Plane, the strong are respected.

As for those stronger than themselves, they only held admiration in their hearts and wouldn’t dare to cross them again.

Leader Su opened his eyes for a moment to glance at them, then closed them again to rest. Prince Zhan had given orders that in these next few days, they must keep a close watch over the prince’s side to guard against Gu Qingyu’s possible schemes.

He really thought that woman, Gu Qingyu, was insane.

In fact, they had nothing at all to do with her. On their journey, aside from her taking the initiative to cozy up to the guards, no one dared to speak with her afterwards.

Moreover, she had been hung at the stern of the ship for so many days, and still, she didn’t seem to learn her lesson.

“For Qingyun Sect to have such a disciple, she’s truly a disgrace to them.”

As the two guards chatted, they started discussing Gu Qingyu, one of them shaking his head in disgust.

Neither of them had been amongst those Gu Qingyu had tried to befriend, and they always kept their distance from women with such cunning minds.

“This Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect doesn’t look like a good person either. Otherwise, how could he have raised such a spoiled and willful granddaughter? No wonder the Qingyun Sect’s forces are declining in the Jianghu.”

The other guard added.

Qingyun Sect was once among the strongest sects in the Feather Abyss Plane, but after years of decline, it was no longer as powerful as it had been.

Just look at these disciples; upon seeing their prince was King Yan, fear was written all over their faces.

If this were the Qingyun Sect of the past, they wouldn’t even fear meeting the Emperor of the Xiang Dynasty, let alone show fear as they do now, like mice encountering a cat.

“It can’t be said like that, after all, the Qingyun Sect has stood for thousands of years. I’ve heard that the current Great Elder entered the sect through his knowledge of medicine, and his specialty is Gu refining.”

“Gu refining?”

At the mention of Gu refining, both guards were taken aback.

Suddenly, they turned their gaze towards Leader Su.

If the Great Elder made his way into the sect through medicine and excelled at Gu refining, then as his granddaughter, might she not possess some life-saving Gu poison?

“Leader Su, doesn’t Gu Qingyu maybe…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Leader Su opened his eyes, sweeping a sharp gaze over him.

“Hiss!”

The two guards inhaled sharply.

That fearless woman, she wouldn’t really use those lowly tricks on them, would she?

Gu poison was terrifying to hear about, and in reality, it was indeed frightening, often leading to a death without a place for burial. However, their lives were probably not worthy of Gu Qingyu’s attention, were they?
