Chapter 25: Auntie, We Can’t Make Immoral Jokes

That night, after a sumptuous banquet, Meng Changqing was pulled into his auntie’s room by Gu Hongyu.

Although she was an elder, she was still a woman after all.

The decoration of her room was quite elegant, with a faint fragrance filling the air, refreshing the senses, much like her presence.

“Auntie, is there something you need?” Meng Changqing rubbed his face.

It was rare for him to come back, but he couldn’t avoid the toasts from the elders and clan members.

However, with his cultivation level, getting drunk was out of the question.

After a long journey, he really wanted to rest in his room.

But just as he was about to leave, his auntie called him back and brought him here.

“Take off your clothes,” Gu Hongyu said.

“Huh?” Meng Changqing was stunned. “Auntie, we can’t make immoral jokes.”

“You brat!” Gu Hongyu rolled her eyes in amusement, then lightly tapped Meng Changqing’s head with her right hand. “You’re thinking too much.”

“Just do as I say,” she insisted.

“Okay.” Meng Changqing could only comply.

He could ignore others’ words, even dismiss them, but his auntie was a different matter.

As the clothes came off, Meng Changqing’s perfectly sculpted upper body was revealed. Although he didn’t have explosive muscles, his physique was well-defined, exuding an artistic sense of beauty.

Even Gu Hongyu was momentarily stunned.

However, with the veil covering her face, Meng Changqing couldn’t see her expression.

After a momentary daze, Gu Hongyu quickly recovered.

She cleared her throat and said, “Stand still and don’t move.”

As she spoke, Gu Hongyu formed hand seals with lightning speed, finally patting Meng Changqing’s chest.

In an instant, a lotus flower pattern appeared under his skin.

The lotus was pure white, seemingly untainted.

Seeing this, Gu Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her hand, removing her own veil.

It was hard to describe how beautiful her face was.

Her skin was like jade, delicate and flawless.

Her eyes were like autumn water, captivating.

Meng Changqing had once speculated why Gu Hongyu always wore a veil.

At first, he thought it was because her beauty was too outstanding, and she wanted to prevent others from coveting her.

But later, he realized it wasn’t the case.

It seemed there was another reason behind it.

“Auntie, what is this?” Meng Changqing was puzzled.

“It’s a method to detect demonic techniques,” Gu Hongyu casually replied. “I know your aptitude very well. Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to reach the Aperture Connecting Realm in just two years.

“Fortunately, you didn’t take any shortcuts and cultivate demonic techniques.”

“Auntie, you really don’t trust me,” Meng Changqing said with a wry smile.

He realized she had asked him to undress upon his arrival, probably thinking he had been practicing demonic techniques.

“Being away from home for two years, and with me not by your side, who knows?” Gu Hongyu relaxed, wrinkling her pretty nose and crossing her arms.

She wasn’t much older than Meng Changqing, only in her thirties.

Perhaps it was her innate beauty or her proper care that made her look timeless.

There were no signs of aging on her, only mature charm.

“What if I really did cultivate demonic techniques?” Meng Changqing looked at her with a strange tone.

Gu Hongyu raised her eyebrows and locked eyes with Meng Changqing.

They remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she shrugged.

“What else can I do?” she said. “I’ve raised you with so much effort. Am I supposed to become a righteous guard and kill you with my own hands? Naturally, I’ll just go along with it.”

With that, the conversation ended.

Meng Changqing’s lips curled into a smile.

Indeed, she was the most important person to him, always choosing to stand by his side regardless of right or wrong.

“Don’t worry, Auntie, I have the right path to follow. There’s no need for me to walk the demonic path,” Meng Changqing said softly. “The rapid progress in my cultivation is mainly due to some fortuitous encounters.”

“Ah,” Gu Hongyu nodded. “Although your aptitude is ordinary, in martial arts cultivation, aptitude is not absolute. Luck is also a crucial factor.

“It seems, young man, you have some luck on your side,” she continued. “Why didn’t it show up before?”

“Perhaps the time hadn’t come yet,” Meng Changqing smiled faintly.

At the same time, he activated his eye of appraisal.

Earlier, surrounded by clan members, he hadn’t had the chance to observe his auntie’s status.

Now, finally, he had the time. In his memory, his auntie was very mysterious, as if shrouded in mist.

Hum~

Like flowing water, the information about Gu Hongyu’s status appeared beside her.

Basic Information:

【Name: Gu Hongyu】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Aperture Connecting Realm, Seventh Level (Temporary)】

Attribute Information:

【Root Bone: Second Grade (Damaged)】

【Comprehension: Superior】

【Talent: Spirit Eyes (Sealed)】

【Martial Arts: “Linglong Cold Moon Sword Art” (Perfected)】

【Secret Art: Palm Lotus Demon Sealing Art】

Seeing this, Meng Changqing clenched his fists tightly, striving to keep his expression unchanged.

But inside, a storm was raging.

This status panel was too luxurious!

He had only seen such a luxurious panel on that girl Bai Suxi!

Only the most exceptional geniuses could possess it.

He never expected his auntie to have one too! However, unlike Bai Suxi, many of his auntie’s attributes had suffixes.

For example, the cultivation realm had “(Temporary)” behind it.

What did this mean?

Cultivation realm was something straightforward. It was what it was.

Why would it be temporary?

Could it be that his auntie’s realm was once very high and had fallen to this level?

Then there was the Root Bone. It was a Second Grade Constitution, equivalent to Bai Suxi’s. Even though he was now an inner disciple, he hadn’t seen any others like it.

It showed how rare it was.

Of course, this didn’t mean that Tai Xuan Sect didn’t have geniuses of this level. It was just that he hadn’t encountered them yet.

After all, above the inner disciples, there were true disciples and more.

What he currently glimpsed and touched was just the tip of the iceberg of Tai Xuan Sect. Constitution was the most important thing for a warrior.

Once it was damaged, cultivation progress would be impossible.

And then there was the talent, “Spirit Eyes,” also in a sealed state.

Overall, it was evident that his auntie had been deliberately crippled.
