But she didn't overthink it. After all, her father wouldn't harm her, would he?
At that moment, Gu Zhengchun, with a cunning look on his face, said to He Changsong, "Sect Master He, this girl isn't actually my daughter."
"I brought her here this time specifically to offer her to you."
Upon hearing Gu Zhengchun's words, a barely perceptible joy flickered across He Changsong's face.
He subconsciously sized up Gu Youwei, who was kneeling not far away.
Filthy desire churned in He Changsong's eyes.
If Gu Zhengchun and the others weren't present, He Changsong's lips might have already curved into an uncontrollable smile.
"What do you mean by that?" He Changsong glanced meaningfully at Gu Zhengchun, clearly wanting to play along a little longer.
Gu Zhengchun then responded with a chuckle, "Sect Master He, my son Gu Feng is cultivating under you, isn't he?"
"I hope you can take good care of him."
"As for this little girl, she's a gift for you."
He Changsong was extremely pleased at that moment. He nodded directly and said, "You've shown sincerity this time. I accept."
"As for Gu Feng's matter, you don't need to worry. I have my own plans."
Hearing He Changsong's reply, Gu Zhengchun was practically bursting with joy.
He quickly said, "Thank you, Sect Master He. I'll be counting on you!"
After saying this, Gu Zhengchun hurried to Gu Youwei's side, putting on a show of fatherly affection. "Good daughter, I've already spoken with Sect Master He."
"You are now a disciple of the Cangshan Sword Sect. Hurry up and pay your respects to your Master!"
Gu Youwei felt something was off, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
However, Gu Youwei didn't dwell on it. She figured that the sooner she joined the Cangshan Sword Sect, the sooner she could improve her cultivation.
After all, despite how much she disliked Gu Chen, Gu Youwei was well aware of his strength.
If she delayed even a day, Gu Chen's power might increase by a fraction.
By then, it would be much harder for her to crush Gu Chen underfoot!
With that thought, Gu Youwei directly replied, "Father, Mother, your daughter will miss you!"
"When I return after completing my studies, I will properly repay your kindness!"
Gu Zhengchun's face was filled with reluctance and relief, but in his heart, he couldn't wait for Gu Youwei to get into that old man He Changsong's bed.
"Alright, daughter. Take care on your journey!"
With that, Gu Zhengchun led Gu Youwei directly to He Changsong.
At that moment, Gu Zhengchun and He Changsong's eyes met briefly.
The unspoken transaction between them was clear to both.
After looking at Gu Youwei up close, He Changsong's heart surged with irrepressible desire!
"Good, very good!"
"This young lady has good talent. I like her very much!"
Upon seeing Gu Youwei, He Changsong let out a long cry to the heavens, stroking his beard and praising her repeatedly.
Gu Youwei muttered inwardly, Tch, in my past life, I was the Empress, alright? Of course, I have good talent!
But Gu Youwei didn't know that He Changsong's praise wasn't about her cultivation talent at all.
He Changsong suppressed his inner desires with great effort and said with a smile, "You can go back now. This young lady will be in good hands with me."
With a wave of his right hand, Gu Youwei felt her entire body become lighter.
Before Gu Youwei could react, the scenery around her rapidly receded.
In an instant, she was already high in the clouds with He Changsong.
Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun had long since vanished without a trace.
However, Gu Youwei was not someone who hadn't seen the world.
After all, in her previous life, as the Empress, Gu Youwei could traverse the entire continent with a single thought.
As such, this minor magical technique didn't surprise her too much.
He Changsong gently stroked Gu Youwei's hair, his body trembling with excitement.
"Disciple Gu Youwei pays her respects to Master."
Although Gu Youwei was very reluctant to acknowledge He Changsong as her master in her heart.
She had, after all, been reborn.
Even with the memories of her past life, she had lost all her previous cultivation.
As a result, at best, she was now just a cultivator with some talent, and everything had to start from scratch.
However, in order to improve her cultivation and defeat Gu Chen as soon as possible, Gu Youwei still chose to become He Changsong's disciple.
At that moment, seeing Gu Youwei kneeling before him, from that height and perspective, He Changsong's mind conjured some unspeakable images.
The excitement and joy in his eyes were almost impossible to conceal. He Changsong said excitedly, "Marvelous, truly marvelous!"
Gu Youwei was quite pleased with herself at the time, thinking He Changsong was so excited because he recognized her high talent.
"Follow me!" He Changsong waved his right hand gently, and the surrounding clouds instantly dispersed.
When Gu Youwei opened her eyes again, she found herself near a very elegant and noble mansion.
Looking around the environment, Gu Youwei could sense that the spiritual energy here was incredibly abundant.
Such abundant spiritual energy was rare, even in places she had seen in her previous life.
Therefore, Gu Youwei immediately realized that this was likely He Changsong's residence.
He Changsong walked straight into the mansion, and Gu Youwei naturally followed quickly.
Since He Changsong was facing away from Gu Youwei at the time, the greedy and ugly expression on his face was fully revealed.
However, after pushing open the door, He Changsong erased all expression from his face.
He put on a kindly demeanor and said, "Good child, go and bathe."
"After you've washed away all the impurities, I will come to you."
Hearing this, Gu Youwei couldn't help but frown subconsciously.
Although Gu Youwei had always cultivated under Gu Chen in her previous life and had never formally joined a sect, she had at least seen how things were done.
Who ever heard of a disciple's first task upon joining a sect being to take a bath?
This made Gu Youwei feel a bit hesitant.
However, Gu Youwei thought about it carefully. There were so many major sects; each sect must have some strange rules.
Besides, washing away impurities might be for better cultivation.
So, Gu Youwei responded very respectfully, "This disciple obeys. I will go and bathe and change, awaiting Master's teachings!"
At that moment, He Changsong just watched Gu Youwei quietly.
He used his internal energy and divine sense to probe every inch of Gu Youwei's skin. That feeling was simply too wonderful for He Changsong.
