Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 490 Cause and Effect Reincarnation 10

When Gu Yao entered the main hall, all the guests had arrived and were already toasting each other.

The girl followed behind him, panting heavily. When he stopped, she reached out to grab his sleeve. "You thief, are you finally going to surrender?"

Qing Yuan, who was sitting at the head of the left, suddenly changed his expression and stared at Gu Yao with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

The moment the girl behind him reached out, Gu Yao dodged to the side.

The girl glared at him angrily, but her eyes subconsciously searched for her backer in the room.

The moment he saw Qingyuan, his back straightened considerably, and he felt much more confident. Pointing at the young man, he said with certainty, "Immortal Lord, this thief tried to steal treasures from the North Sea, but I discovered him. He was extremely rude and arrogant!"

The girl tearfully accused Gu Yao of his "crimes," describing them so vividly that it seemed as if they were true.

Gu Yao stood to the side, calmly stroking the fox in his arms, his gaze peacefully watching the person jumping around in front of him. He listened quietly as she recounted the entire process of her theft, nodding occasionally as if to express his approval.

For an idiot like that, even giving him a second glance is considered a loss.

Qingyuan glanced at Gu Yao's face, which gradually paled.

He glared at the girl and frantically gave her meaningful glances, but the girl was engrossed in her own world and completely oblivious to the man's almost convulsing gaze.

Gu Yao looked at this joke with a slight smile, as if he were watching a clown.

After a passionate speech, the young woman pointed at the young man standing in front of the main hall with an extremely arrogant expression, like a victorious rooster.

She turned and bowed to Qingyuan, "Immortal Lord, this thief refuses to admit his mistake and is really unruly. I don't know how he got in here today. Who knows what he's up to? I think he's up to no good."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and Qing Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly stood up, wanting to explain something, but Gu Yao spoke first, "Then what do you think should be done?"

The girl crossed her arms, her expression haughty, and subconsciously replied, "Of course he should be locked up in the Heavenly Prison, preferably a water prison, and then whipped to teach him a lesson. It'll be a small punishment to set a good example."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow.

A minor punishment to serve as a warning?

Everyone knows that the Shangqing Realm Water Prison is the most torturous place, and it is always used to interrogate those who have committed heinous crimes.

His indifferent gaze fell upon the proud young woman.

No matter how beautiful the packaging, the inside is already rotten.

His expression was filled with resentment, and his malicious thoughts were obvious.

Everyone present was shrewd; they could all see that they were just giving Qingyuan face.

Qingyuan must have been living quite comfortably these past few years.

After all, he was in seclusion, so Qingyuan was the person with the highest status in the Shangqing Realm.

After being praised for a while, he actually thought he was someone important.

Ah.

Only after the words left her mouth did the girl realize something was wrong.

The person asking this question seems to be that... thief?

The girl was about to shout at him, but Qingyuan interrupted her, "Get out of here!"

The girl was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Qing Yuan, somewhat dazed.

Qing Yuan had already flashed to her side, his imposing aura pressing down on her, and a binding rope tightly bound her. "Kneel down now!"

Gu Yao's smile deepened upon hearing this, and his gaze fell on Qing Yuan before him. He slowly asked, "Immortal Lord Qing Yuan, do you think this punishment is acceptable?"

The young man had a gentle expression, as if he were genuinely asking a question.

Cold sweat had soaked through Qingyuan's back.

He wished he could bury himself in the ground.

Despite her usual arrogance, the girl couldn't grasp the situation. She twisted her body and cried out, "Immortal Lord, why are you binding me? You should arrest this thief!"

Gu Yao turned his gaze to the girl with a resentful expression and gave her a smile.

He had never seen such a stupid person before; Qingyuan must have spoiled him rotten.

Qing Yuan's face turned pale, and he kicked the girl, simultaneously using a sealing talisman to stop her from cursing any further.

Then, the immortal lord, whose hair had turned white, lifted his robes and knelt respectfully before the handsome young man, saying, "My unruly servant is unforgiving; I beg the divine lord's forgiveness!"

The words landed with a resounding thud, plunging the main hall into a deathly silence.

All eyes were on Gu Yao.

The young man, who had become the focus of attention, calmly stroked the fox, a slight smile even playing on his lips, showing no sign of anger. He lowered his eyes and gently caressed the fox in his arms.

It was as if the celestial lord kneeling before him, apologizing, was less than a single hair of a fox.

Despite the utter humiliation, Qing Yuan dared not move an inch.

He is in the wrong today.

After a long pause, Gu Yao finally spoke calmly, "Didn't this person just say how he should be punished? He can go and receive his punishment himself."

After saying that, he carried the fox to his seat at the very front of the main hall, without giving Qingyuan even a glance.
