Chapter 632: Chapter 629: Grudges (Part 1)

"How can this be? How can this be? Impossible!" Ning Luoxi was even more shocked than Lin Tian as she saw the true face of the Gu Cultivator, continually voicing her doubts.

From the true appearance of the Gu Cultivator, she seemed to be in her thirties, with fair and delicate skin—a genuine young and beautiful woman. Perhaps because Lin Tian had kicked her, the blood-red color in her eyes had faded, and there were no zombie teeth in her mouth.

But that wasn’t the point; the point was that this woman was actually Li Qingyun!

Li Qingyun had left a deep impression on Lin Tian—an elderly lady in her seventies or eighties with the face, figure, and voice of a thirty-year-old beautiful woman. Moreover, she possessed the unique aura of a Gu Girl, something Lin Tian could never forget about Li Qingyun’s appearance.

He could confirm that the person in front of him was Li Qingyun; she had the same age and appearance, and even the aura was identical, both carrying the mysterious quality of a Gu Girl.

"Miss Luoxi, what’s going on here? Didn’t you say Granny Li was still outside setting up traps? How did she suddenly become the Gu Cultivator?" Lin Tian collected his emotions slightly and looked at Ning Luoxi, the commander, and asked incredulously.

Ning Luoxi, as the commander of this operation, would bear significant responsibility if Li Qingyun were an undercover enemy.

However, Ning Luoxi shook her head, her face filled with disbelief as she said in confusion, "I don’t know either. Granny Li was only a last-minute addition to the team, and I’m not clear on her background. But her name is on the trustworthy list; it can’t be that she’s an undercover agent."

"I’m not familiar with your trustworthy list, but there is no absolute in this world; anything can happen. Isn’t Li Qingyun right here a perfect example?" Lin Tian immediately retorted. He couldn’t believe in some sort of ghostly list.

These days, the human heart is the most unpredictable; people are scarier than ghost gods, and even at the end, you can’t be sure of the truth.

Lin Tian only felt a tinge of regret. He had a good impression of both Li Qingyun and Li Yue, unrelated to romantic feelings, but stemming from the emotional connection formed by fighting side by side.

Li Qingyun had always struck him as calm and composed. Within her young body dwelt the soul of a sage. Although she was a Gu Girl, she lacked the strange and terrifying aspects associated with them in legends, instead giving off an approachable vibe.

For these favorable impressions, Lin Tian truly didn’t want to believe that Li Qingyun was the Gu Cultivator, an undercover agent.

The four women who had been plastered against the wall struggled free from the embedding in the rock and all leapt to the ground, but none dared to make any rash moves.

"You two shouldn’t jump to conclusions so quickly; maybe they are just two people who look exactly alike," the Heavenly Master Girl suddenly said.

"Two people who look exactly alike?" Lin Tian and Ning Luoxi uttered in unison, questioning.

Lin Tian took another look at the Gu Cultivator, stating with skepticism, "It’s one thing to have identical faces, but to have such similar auras too—if you say they’re two different people, no one would believe it."

Ning Luoxi nodded in agreement with Lin Tian’s words.

The Heavenly Master Girl, however, shook her head and said, "Appearance is just a shell and not at all indicative of the truth. There are too many ways to change one’s appearance in this world. Not to mention the ancient and incredible Disguise Technique, there’s also the mysterious Gu art."

"Even considering the most modern of medical techniques, like the highly developed cosmetic surgery industry in Korea, without discussing the pros and cons of cosmetic surgery, with today’s technology, it’s possible to make someone look just like a twin," she argued with seemingly irrefutable logic.

"How should I put it, even the temperament is similar," Lin Tian asked, puzzled.

"Li Qingyun is a Gu Girl, and she is too. It’s not strange that there are similarities in temperament," the Heavenly Master Girl said again.

With her explanation, Lin Tian began to understand somewhat, but why did the Gu Cultivator look exactly like Li Qingyun, or rather, why would she make herself look like Li Qingyun? What hidden secrets lay behind this? That was still unclear to him.

"Hey, that Gu... Lord Gu, what is your name?" Lin Tian called out to the Gu Cultivator.

"Young man, you should speak with respect. Didn’t your teacher teach you to honor the elderly and cherish the young?" the Gu Cultivator lifted her disheveled strands of hair and said.

This time, her voice came out without the alteration of the Ghost Head Mask, clearly a woman’s voice.

However, Lin Tian snorted in response to her words, indifferently saying, "You look to be about thirty years old, and you want me to respect my elders? Do you really think you’re Li Qingyun?"

"Hahaha..." The Gu Cultivator suddenly laughed and said, "You really are adorable. I am Li Qingyun, and I am more than enough to be your wet nurse. Don’t you think you should respect your elders?"

Is she really Li Qingyun? Now Lin Tian and his companions were truly confused; even the Heavenly Master Girl couldn’t make up her mind.

"What? You don’t believe me?" The Gu Cultivator smiled gently and said, "My granddaughter has been with you all along. What? Have you even forgotten the name Li Yue?"

"I’m right here, who’s looking for me!" A female voice suddenly came from within the shrine.

When the voice ended, two people, two women, walked out from the ruins of the collapsed shrine. Lin Tian turned his head to look and was stunned. It wasn’t anyone else but Li Qingyun and Li Yue who appeared; the one who had just spoken was probably Li Yue.

Two Li Qingyuns appeared at the same time. Whether it was a coincidence or not, the one who appeared later was also wearing loose clothing, which strikingly resembled the attire of the Gu Cultivator.

"Lin Tian, the Gu Cultivator is impersonating my grandmother, she is a fraud," Li Yue called out loudly upon seeing Lin Tian.

"A fraud? How do I know you’re not a fraud, too? The shrine’s outer perimeter is protected by an Onmyoji’s Barrier. How did you get in?" Lin Tian expressed his doubt; previously, he had entered because the Heavenly Master Girl had opened the Barrier, while the grandmother and granddaughter pair Li Qingyun shouldn’t be able to do that.

"Lin Tian, you’re killing me here. To actually suspect that I’m a fraud, be careful or I’ll cast a Heartless Gu on you, you big pervert, and make sure you can never fancy a beautiful woman again!" Li Yue glared and pouted in anger.

The little lady was quite upset, yet seeing her angry like that, Lin Tian could not help but feel amused. This style of speaking was undoubtedly Li Yue, who always threatened people with a Heartless Gu, though of course, she never managed to intimidate Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, I understand your questions. We too knew about the Onmyoji’s Barrier around the perimeter. We managed to come in by accident. Previously Li Yue and I were setting traps on the back mountain and accidentally discovered a small path. This path actually led straight to the mountaintop and wasn’t blocked by any Barrier. It’s probably a secret passage of the shrine," the Li Qingyun who came later explained.

"Then what’s the deal with this Gu Cultivator?" Lin Tian was starting to believe their words, because the task of setting traps had been arranged by Ning Luoxi, which the Gu Cultivator certainly wouldn’t be aware of.

"Li Qingyun, we meet again. How have you been?" The Gu Cultivator stepped forward a few paces, looking at Li Qingyun and greeted her proactively.
