Chapter 2023 - 1600: Divine Weapon Convention, Scheming Everywhere! (Part 2)

"Hehe... They are the masters!" Alliance Leader Yong Qing responded absentmindedly to the Metallurgy Alliance Leader’s words.

"You!" Hearing this, the Metallurgy Alliance Leader was instantly choked, raising his hand to point at Yong Qing, his aged face trembling with flesh, unable to restrain a low curse, "Yong Qing, you mischievous old man, I hear you babbling nonsense, are you deliberately putting these few young children on the stage to mock us old timers?"

"Brother, when you speak like this, if we’re talking old, you’re not older than me, I’ve nothing to fear from mockery, what are you worried about?" Alliance Leader Yong Qing promptly replied, deep down praying continuously, Little Ancestor, stop looking, your eyes are about to pop out, making us old folks suspect that in the next instant, you might impulsively grab that Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp!

Thinking about it, this kind of thing has indeed been done before!

Reportedly, hundreds of years ago, people from the Southern Border’s Imperial Family openly snatched the Disaster-Breaking Dagger on the stage at the Divine Weapon Convention in Smelting City!

Given the family background, if Gu Changsheng did something like this, Alliance Leader Yong Qing wouldn’t be surprised at all!

Upon hearing Yong Qing’s words, the Metallurgy Alliance Leader was so angry he took a deep breath, he originally wanted to say, "You shameless old coot, how can we compare to you?"

However, he glanced at the crowd below the stage, filled with countless heads, and restrained himself!

It wasn’t that he dared not confront Yong Qing; the elderly man simply didn’t want those present to watch them old folks make a fool of themselves!

The Metallurgy Alliance Leader was quite displeased with Yong Qing arranging Gu Changsheng and others on the stage, and others shared similar sentiments; these few youngsters among the crowd of old men stood out like a sore thumb!

The spotlight of these old men was practically stolen by these few young people!

Thus, wherever people came from to Smelting City to watch the Divine Weapon Convention, both on and off stage, all eyes subtly glanced towards Gu Changsheng...

Despite the overly obvious gazes and hushed whispers being a bit too loud, making it difficult for Gu Changsheng to ignore, she quickly snapped out of the allure of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, and felt a headache coming!

Godfather’s Fourth Auntie Grandma, when did Yong Shu bring her to such a high place?

Why weren’t her evildoer and Shi Wujue holding her back a bit?

It’s cold up here, too cold, and hard to move about!

God knows, participating in the Divine Weapon Convention, Gu Changsheng absolutely has no intention to stay quiet!

Gu Changsheng has a motto, though it’s not very gracious, she’s always believed it: "If you like it, make it yours!"

Indeed, even if at this moment, Gu Changsheng doesn’t know which of the weapons on stage is the best, she speaks of wishing to make that simple little oil lamp hers!

Wanting to make it hers isn’t all that difficult; though there are many present, only a few old men on stage can truly be called masters. Gu Changsheng only needs one glance to see that among these old men, the Leader of the Three Alliances has the highest cultivation, yet he’s only a Master of the Transformative Realm!

A Master of the Transformative Realm!

If in the past, Gu Changsheng heard this title, she’d tremble thrice, but times have changed, and she, Gu Changsheng, coincidentally surpasses the Transformative Realm!

Being a level higher than the First Layer of Heaven, it’s not hard for Gu Changsheng to suppress these people with one move, but in these circumstances, sitting so high makes it inconvenient!

If she were now below the stage, had a fancy for the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, she could simply cover her face with a handkerchief, fly up and claim it as hers, realistically not a difficult feat!

However, currently seated so high, and clearly placed there by Alliance Leader Yong Qing, makes things difficult for Gu Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng doesn’t mind openly snatching things, but the premise is that no one knows she’s the one doing the snatching!

However, it’s obvious that her small intention cannot be realized now!

Alliance Leader Yong Qing knowing her identity isn’t an issue, it’s that her conspicuous seating means any slight move will be watched!

And that would be rather unsightly!

"Evildoer, Shi Wujue, do you think Alliance Leader Yong Qing is genuinely well-intended?" Rubbing her temples, Gu Changsheng felt a sense of being manipulated as she spoke.

Manipulation!

It’s all manipulation!

Alliance Leader Yong Qing arranging her position like this surely has some scheme!

This is clearly a method to prevent her from causing trouble!

Scheming!

Who’d have thought that seemingly carefree Alliance Leader Yong Qing could be so conniving!

This leaves Gu Changsheng, feeling calculated, somewhat uncomfortable, but now seated prominently in plain view, what can she do? What can she do?

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, the supposedly capable of curing Divine Soul Injury Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, even though Gu Changsheng has heard Jiu Yu’s words, knowing it might not work for her condition, but she still aims to make it hers!
