WAO Chapter 437: Qi Yan’s intentions
Translated by: La0o9
Proofreader: Arya
Everyone unrelated already left the platform .
Back on the platform, all three of the Hallmasters went into temporary silence .
The two Hallmasters were thinking on their own, carefully considering what to say next .
Gu Qing Shan also decided to just stay quiet and said nothing .
He doesn’t know anything about their secret discussions, so the more he says the more likely he’ll make mistakes .
He was taking this time to look at the War God UI .
A few lines of glowing texts had appeared on the UI for a while .
Gu Qing Shan was too busy dealing with the situation to read them before .
[You’ve killed a Sainted realm late stage cultivator Wang Qi Shen]
[You’ve killed a Sainted realm mid stage cultivator Xiong Shi]
[Because both enemies were stronger than you and you killed them in one hit, you’ve received Soul Points that surpasses the maximum limit]
[Soul Points gained: 700]
[Soul Points gained: 500]
[Current Soul Points: 1203/300]
Seeing this notification, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit more assured .
In the current situation, Soul Points was the only power that can overturn everything .
To find Shen Wu world’s coordinates, he needed a formation user .
But the only trustworthy formation user in this world, Chu Liu, was already dead .
The other three formation users of Guang Yang sect can’t be used at all .
So Gu Qing Shan can only do it himself .
He will have to use [War God Skills] to comprehend the art of formations and fully grasp the concept of the warp formation .
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze fell down, looking at the row of icons below the War God UI .
Only three of them showed actual icons .
These three were [War God Skills], [War God Thaumaturgy], and [War God Title]

Aside from that, the rest of them were blacked out, unable to be seen .
After glancing over them, Gu Qing Shan pulled his attention away .
The first thing he should focus on right now was how to escape from this world .
Everything else can be put on hold .
Ye Ying Mei finally started to speak: “Gentlemen, the next issue is related to the survival of our sect, we’ve already talked about it once before, but I’m sure you’ve all had time to reconsider it carefully once again . Now that we’re here, I hope the three of us can reach a consensus”
Talked about it once before .
Better reach a consensus .
----but what exactly did the three Hallmasters discuss before?
Qing Rou and Wan Er were not qualified to participate in such a discussion; and Qi Yan wouldn’t tell them about it unprompted .
So Gu Qing Shan has no idea what Ye Ying Mei is talking about .
“Hallmaster Zhao can tell us his opinion first” Gu Qing Shan said without hesitation .
Zhao Wu Chui didn’t think too much of it and spoke directly: “I disagree with Qi Yan’s suggestion, he should stop it with that thought”
Ye Ying Mei said nothing and only looked at Gu Qing Shan .
After showing his stance, Zhao Wu Chui also looked at him .
Being stared at by two Virtualized realm cultivators, Gu Qing Shan acted like he was contemplating something .
Alright, you disagree with what I said, that’s fine .
I can just fight back step by step .
But can anyone tell me just what my proposal was?
“Old Zhao”
Gu Qing Shan spoke after a bit of consideration: “I feel that you’re only disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing and haven’t seriously considered my proposition at all, isn’t that a bit disagreeable?”
Zhao Wu Chui scoffed: “Don’t think everyone else is like you . I separate work and personal matters very clearly, this has nothing to do with our discord”
-----but I still don’t know what this is about .
“We’ve known for so many years but that’s the first time I’ve heard that about you” Gu Qing Shan smirked .
Zhao Wu Chui only stared at him and said nothing .
Ye Ying Mei also didn’t say anything .
They were only staring at him .

Gu Qing Shan could only continue: “Alright then, if you’re insisting that, then give a proper explanation of why you’re rejecting my proposal”
His tone shifted a bit to sound sincere: “If you can convince me, maybe I’ll consider it again”
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan went silent .
Since he still doesn’t know what this was about, he planned on saying as little as possible .
Hearing him say that, Zhao Wu Chui became serious as well .
This matter needs to be dealt with now, but master still hasn’t said anything, so I have to make Qi Yan give up on this .
“I’ll admit that you have a good flesh bag, and is a talented cultivator, but do you know what kind of existence Rakshasa Peak is, they’re not people we can mess with” Zhao Wu Chui spoke .
“Hmm… go on” Gu Qing Shan said .
Rakshasa Peak .
When I arrived at the sect, I recall seeing a large airship specifically used to transport resources to Rakshasa Peak .
An entire airship full of resources, in exchange for a single pill .
A healing pill for a Cryptic realm cultivator, to prolong Grand Elder Wang Hong Dao’s life .
And soon, Rakshasa Peak will come to visit them .
Gu Qing Shan was thinking quickly while showing an expression of paying attention .
Seeing that, Zhao Wu Chui thought of it as him rethinking about it .
He then sincerely went on: “Ever since the other great sects left the world, Rakshasa Peak has become the strongest authority here . With three Cryptic realm cultivators, they are able to overpower any and every other sect”
“And so?” Gu Qing Shan showed impatience .
What he has been hearing was nothing but common knowledge, so it makes sense for him to be annoyed .
Zhao Wu Chui then quickly explained his point: “That’s why, when Rakshasa Peak accepted your proposal, it was only at face value . Their intention was only to probe our situation”
“Both Hallmaster Ye and I think that this type of predatory sect will definitely hold bad intentions towards our own”
Gu Qing Shan lifted his cup of tea and took a sip with nonchalance .
Just what the hell did this Qi Yan propose?
The two Hallmasters are both against his proposal, and it seems to be related to his handsome appearance .
No matter how hard Gu Qing Shan tried, he still couldn’t fish out Qi Yan’s true intentions from this vague exchange .
The two Hallmasters kept staring at him .
Even the Rakshasa’s Daughter mask on the table seems to be staring at him with a smile .

Gu Qing Shan once again opened his mouth .
“Old Zhao, I think this is nothing but your personal opinion, there’s nothing to prove that at all”
Gu Qing Shan shook his head .
Zhao Wu Chui looked over to Ye Ying Mei .
Ye Ying Mei cleared her throat and spoke: “I honestly also agree with old Zhao’s opinion”
“Ah? Ying Mei sis also thinks the same way he does?”
“I do”
Alright, they clearly want to go 2 against 1 .
“Truthfully, I think Ying Mei sis’ mind is much clearer than old Zhao, so I want to hear your opinion as well” Gu Qing Shan replied .
Not suspecting anything, Ye Ying Mei sternly told him: “This generation’s Rakshasa’s Daughter is about to breakthrough to Cryptic realm, but you’ve only just reached Virtualized realm, this is one”
“Two, none of those who got noticed by Rakshasa’s Daughter ever died off peacefully, some of them gave everything they had yet still ended up hopelessly dead, this can’t be a coincidence”
Receiving two useful pieces of intelligence, Gu Qing Shan nodded and gestured Ye Ying Mei to go on .
Ye Ying Mei continued: “Three, since every other large sect has gone away, aside from Rakshasa Peak, our Guang Yang sect is the strongest, I believe that Rakshasa’s Daughter might want to use you as a springboard to deal with our entire sect”
She concluded: “That’s why, when Rakshasa Peak’s people come, I hope that you can retract your request right in front of everyone”
“Retract it?” Gu Qing Shan’s expression dimmed .
“I was the one who proposed this, and now I have to take back my words in front of everybody, what do you think my face is?”
Even though he got some information, he still didn’t want to assume Qi Yan’s specific proposal .
With how sharp the two Virtualized realm cultivators were, as soon as Gu Qing Shan gets one word wrong, they will immediately find out .
The situation was getting more and more dangerous .
Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui exchanged looks, both very irritated .
Qi Yan still has the gall to talk about face when they’re in such deep trouble?
“Just what exactly------” Zhao Wu Chui wanted to say something .
Gu Qing Shan cut him off: “Let us make this quick, if I give up on my proposal, what benefits does that give me?”
Both Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui were shocked .
Right, since when did this brat Qi Yan ever cared about face, he only cared about his own benefit .
The two of them were once again reminded of Qi Yan’s nature .
“Benefit? Your benefit is not dying at Rakshasa’s Daughter’s hands” Zhao Wu Chui scoffed .
Gu Qing Shan sneered, nodded and said nothing .
From the way he acted, it seems he just put another grudge with Zhao Wu Chui into his book .
“Stop it, old Zhao”
Ye Ying Mei glared at Zhao Wu Chui disapprovingly .
“Qi Yan, we’re not joking this time, Rakshasa’s Daughter’s techniques and abilities are mysterious and strange, even we can’t guarantee we’d win against her”
Ye Ying Mei patiently explained .
“Not to mention, you know how the Grand Elder’s body is, he needs to rely on the precious pills to survive every day, so the sect already can’t handle too large a commotion”
“If Rakshasa Peak had any ill will, we can’t even deal with Rakshasa’s Daughter, let alone their entire sect”
“Qi Yan, I really hope you’ll carefully reconsider this and give up on your proposal”
“You have a point, but I still don’t see any benefits” Gu Qing Shan casually dismissed her .
He glanced over at the two of them, Ye Ying Mei was already near breaking point, while Zhao Wu Chui seemed like he had already gone past that point .
He should change his approach right about now .
Gu Qing Shan had a sudden thought .
His expression became serious, speaking in a low voice: “Old Zhao, do you really think this isn’t correct? You should know me very well through these past years, why do you have so little faith in me?”
Seeing how serious he was, Zhao Wu Chui’s boiling rage subsided a bit, but he still couldn’t stand Qi Yan’s bad acting .
Standing up, he shouted: “Then tell me, after all this time, aside from giving her so much precious resources, what exactly did you get from her?”
“Qi Yan! You can’t keep courting Rakshasa’s Daughter, she doesn’t want to be your goddamn Dao companion! You can’t climb that high!”
Ye Ying Mei also lightly nodded .
Dong!
Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank .
-----I finally know what Qi Yan proposed .
And no wonder the white fox was looking at him in a strange manner .
No wonder Rakshasa’s Daughter gave him her mask .
It’s because Qi Yan wanted to marry and become her Dao companion!
