But she only knew that Chiling belonged to her, and Chiling would always fight for her!
However, in this life, Gu Youwei never expected it.
She actually saw the sword that once belonged to her at the Cangshan Sword Sect!
That feeling was like suddenly seeing an old friend you've known for many years in a strange place.
It was hope, and even more so, salvation!
Immediately after, voices came from all directions around Gu Youwei.
"Gu Youwei, surrender quickly!"
"Go apologize to Master now, and Master might forgive you!"
"You actually dare to run to Xuanjian Pond, this is a forbidden area of our Cangshan Sword Sect!"
The Four Great Protectors of the Cangshan Sword Sect instantly appeared around Xuanjian Pond.
And the disciples of the Cangshan Sword Sect directly blocked all exits of Xuanjian Pond.
Finally, a very old and deep voice descended from the sky.
"Weren't you fine staying in your room?"
"You insisted on running out, it seems I need to teach you a good lesson."
He Changsong descended from the sky, like a god arriving in the mortal world.
Everyone present bowed and said with respectful expressions, "Master!"
Seeing Gu Youwei's lack of reaction, He Changsong's expression couldn't help but change subtly.
"Why don't you kneel?"
Gu Youwei stared straight at He Changsong, her eyes full of hatred and hostility.
She immediately responded to He Changsong, "A dying man like you deserves my knee?"
However, Gu Youwei's words made everyone present gasp in shock!
You must know that the person standing before them was the Sect Master of the Cangshan Sword Sect, He Changsong, who possessed a cultivation of the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment!
Even in the entire East Desolation Commandery, he was a top figure.
Yet Gu Youwei not only refused to kneel, but even called He Changsong a dying man.
Everyone felt that this could no longer be described as arrogance on Gu Youwei's part.
This was simply outrageous! Treason!
Hearing Gu Youwei's words, He Changsong's face instantly darkened.
He stared intently at Gu Youwei, even wondering if he should just kill her right now.
"Gu Youwei, you have quite the nerve."
"Guards, give her a little lesson."
As soon as He Changsong finished speaking, the Four Great Protectors of the Cangshan Sword Sect simultaneously attacked!
They moved like lightning, charging towards Gu Youwei from four directions.
However, Gu Youwei remained motionless, her face filled with a look of defiance in the face of death.
She had completely seen through it now.
Her coming to the Cangshan Sword Sect to cultivate was nothing but a dirty lie.
Thinking of this, Gu Youwei's gaze grew colder.
Finally, a strong killing intent emanated from her.
Gu Youwei slowly raised her right hand and said word by word.
"Chiling!"
"Return!"
East Desolation Commandery, Wei family residence.
Wei Qingyu couldn't sleep.
Because she was constantly thinking about Gu Chen.
She always felt that if she was lazy and slept, Gu Chen would use that time to improve his cultivation.
As a result, Wei Qingyu hugged the brazier and secretly ran to the training hall to cultivate.
Every time she cultivated for about ten minutes, she would have to hug the brazier to warm herself properly.
Sometimes, when the cold was too severe, she would even squat over the brazier in a rather embarrassing posture.
At first, it was fine once or twice.
But in less than half an hour, Wei Qingyu had to squat over the brazier to warm herself five or six times.
This was simply making her incredibly impatient!
"Damn it, I, the dignified Empress, have to suffer like this?"
"In my past life, I cultivated directly into the Empress in one go, I never even used a brazier!"
Wei Qingyu, furious, kicked the brazier aside, her face full of displeasure.
Staring at the brazier she had kicked over not far away, Wei Qingyu couldn't help but recall scenes from her past life.
She clearly remembered that in her past life, Gu Chen didn't use any braziers or acupuncture.
He simply helped her cultivate normally, completely dispelling the cold energy.
This made Wei Qingyu start to wonder, what method did Gu Chen use to avoid the cold energy?
However, after a moment, Wei Qingyu couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I know, for all those years in my past life, my cultivation never surpassed Gu Chen because Gu Chen taught me the wrong cultivation method."
"Because it was the wrong cultivation method, the Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture didn't produce cold energy."
Thinking of this, Wei Qingyu's hatred for Gu Chen intensified in her heart.
She felt that Gu Chen had held her back!
If it weren't for Gu Chen, perhaps in her past life, her cultivation could have advanced further, becoming an even more powerful Empress.
She wouldn't have to be hugging a brazier in this life, cultivating like a beast of burden!
"Gu Chen, you owe me far too much!"
"I've changed my mind now, I won't kill you directly."
"I want you to be my servant, living in my shadow for the rest of your life!"
But anger was anger, Wei Qingyu's only option now was to cultivate with the brazier.
Helpless, she could only silently walk forward, pick up the brazier, and squat over it again to dispel the cold energy.
After toiling like this for most of the night, Wei Qingyu felt more exhausted than if she had cultivated for an entire day in her past life.
Fortunately, Wei Qingyu wasn't without gains; her cultivation had directly broken through to the Third Level of Innate Realm.
Realizing her cultivation had greatly increased, Wei Qingyu couldn't stop smiling.
"This is wonderful, this young lady truly has the bearing of an Empress!"
"In just one night, I've reached the Third Level of Innate Realm."
"And I was cultivating while hugging this damned brazier."
"If I keep this up, won't I reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in two or three days, or even enter the middle four realms of cultivation?"
Wei Qingyu knew very well that at this time, the level of cultivation was the sole truth for dominating the world.
Just the first four realms of cultivation: Body Tempering, Innate Realm, Profound Gang Realm, and Foundation Establishment.
Anyone who could cultivate to the Profound Gang Realm or Foundation Establishment Realm could walk sideways anywhere.
Let alone anything else, even the most famous Cangshan Sword Sect in East Desolation Commandery only had a Sect Master at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This made Wei Qingyu almost unable to imagine.
If her cultivation broke through to Foundation Establishment, or even entered the middle four realms of cultivation.
Dealing with Gu Chen would be as easy as flipping her hand!
Thinking of this, Wei Qingyu became very excited and quickly squatted over the brazier again to cultivate.
While Wei Qingyu was cultivating, Wei Qingshan and Liu Yucui had actually been peeking from the doorway.
Seeing their daughter diligently cultivating late at night, Wei Qingshan and his wife showed gratified smiles.
"I knew our Wei family's daughter would be exceptional; look how diligent Qingyu is."
