The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 400: Mu Mingyu VS Gong Leitian (Second Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)

Mu Qiuniang returned to the Capital City to reunite with Xu Jing and the others, then take a flight abroad with the rest of the delegation.On the day she returned to the Capital City, Mu Mingyu also visited a special department.

"Why are you here?" Gong Leitian was quite surprised to see him in his office.

"Grand-aunt is going on a long journey, so she asked me to deliver this month’s supplies first." Mu Mingyu said with a smile.

"Is Master Ancestor going abroad? I was a bit surprised when I saw the news. Given her aversion to trouble, it’s surprising she’d participate in such public activities."

"This is about bringing honor to Huaxia. I think any Huaxia person would do it, right?"

"Of course! I’m just a bit surprised, that’s all. Master Ancestor usually appears so detached that if the Grandmaster hadn’t brought her back to the Mortal World, I’d have thought she’d already ascended."

"Don’t you want Grand-aunt to ascend?" Mu Mingyu looked at him, smiling as he asked.

"I do, and I don’t." Gong Leitian tapped his fingers on the desk, saying, "If Master Ancestor could ascend, she’d be the first in hundreds of years. It would prove that the path to immortality is still open in this world, which would be a good thing for everyone."

"Then why don’t you?" Mu Mingyu watched him closely without speaking.

"I won’t be able to become immortal in this life. If Master Ancestor ascends, it means I’ll never see her again." Gong Leitian didn’t hide his thoughts from the man across from him.

Mu Mingyu was taken aback. Although he had guessed this was the answer, it was still somewhat incredible to hear Gong Leitian say it out loud.

"Grand-aunt never belonged to anyone! Her greatest dream is to ascend."

"Are you sure?" Gong Leitian was doubtful.

"Of course, what’s there to doubt?"

"Since meeting Jiang Nuo, has Master Ancestor been cultivating as diligently as before?" Gong Leitian’s tone revealed a hint of resentment, "You have no idea what Master Ancestor means to everyone."

"I do, it’s a belief!" Mu Mingyu interrupted him.

Gong Leitian’s eyes showed some surprise, as if he were very surprised at how he knew.

"No one has ascended for hundreds of years. Grand-aunt is everyone’s only hope. If even she can’t cultivate and ascend, then no one else can. People need a belief in times of despair, and that’s what Grand-aunt is."

Mu Mingyu had only recently entered the Cultivation World, so at first, he couldn’t understand what Gong Leitian was thinking, so he pondered it secretly for a long time.

Gong Leitian also said that he grew up hearing stories of Grand-aunt, so her position in his heart must be different.

She could be sacred, hopeful, worshiped, and definitely not vile or filthy, but what triggered his change in thoughts?

And what caused Grand-aunt to be so cautious about Gong Leitian’s matters?

Is it just because of Gong Leitian’s outstanding performance?

No! Definitely not!

Grand-aunt must have met countless exceptional people throughout her life, so there couldn’t be anyone who doesn’t measure up.

"Since you know she is our belief, you should understand how we feel."

"I understand, but not completely. I know when your belief doesn’t align with your expectations, you’ll feel let down or disappointed. But what I don’t understand is, in what way has Grand-aunt let you down? Why do you think that having love means she’s fallen into the muck and besmirched your belief?"

"Isn’t it?"

"Do you think a belief can’t have its own love? Or is it that you’re discontent with her choosing such a man, thinking he’s too weak to be worthy of her?"

Gong Leitian snorted coldly: "He doesn’t deserve to be with Master Ancestor!"

"Why doesn’t he? You’ve said before that Grand-aunt needs a man who loves her wholeheartedly, willing to give everything for her without complaint, and sacrifice everything. Grand-aunt’s husband has already done that!"

"If he hadn’t done that, do you think I’d have let him live until now?" Gong Leitian’s tone was filled with killing intent.

Mu Mingyu had never imagined that Gong Leitian once wanted to kill Jiang Nuo; he was somewhat surprised: "How could you think of that? If you had done so, do you know how heartbroken and sad Grand-aunt would be? A man she loves dearly, a Master she considered a second home."

After entering the Cultivation World, Mu Mingyu understood why Grand-aunt was initially cold to the Mu family.

Because for her, the Mu family without her parents and siblings was merely a coincidence of the same surname, while the Hidden Immortal Sect that raised her, guiding her path of cultivation, was her true home.

"Gong Leitian, you should be grateful you didn’t actually do it, otherwise you could only be Grand-aunt’s enemy."

"Without my belief, would I still care about this?" Gong Leitian said somewhat irritably, lighting a cigarette, "Enough, weren’t you here to deliver supplies? Hurry up and leave after you’re done."

"No, your current state is too dangerous, I can’t let this slide. I think we should have a good talk." Mu Mingyu looked serious.

"You don’t really consider me a friend, do you?" Gong Leitian showed a sneer with a dangerous smile, "Don’t you know I’ve been using you all along?"

"I know, you’re using me to get information about Grand-aunt, but so what? A friend I’ve recognized will be a friend for life." Mu Mingyu looked determined.

From when he first met this man, he knew he was outstanding, and he didn’t want such a talented man to go astray.

"Hahaha..." Gong Leitian laughed heartily, "Mu Mingyu, how can you be so naïve? In the Cultivation World, where are there any friends?"

Mu Mingyu forcibly grabbed his collar: "How can you say there aren’t any? Am I not one?"

"So, you’re a fool!"

"Why, are you unwilling to have a fool like me as a friend?" Mu Mingyu stared at him unhappily.

"A friend grabs another’s food and livelihood? I thought you wanted to hit me." Gong Leitian smiled, with an expression that could annoy people.

"I really do want to hit you; I don’t know which wire in your brain is short-circuited, I want to fix it, punch you sober." With that, Mu Mingyu threw a punch.

Gong Leitian didn’t expect him to make a move at this moment but reflexively reached out to block.

Mu Mingyu’s fist was caught by him, but not in a hurry, he instead smiled at him.

As Gong Leitian was puzzled, he felt the Spiritual Energy flowing in his body suddenly freeze; he couldn’t mobilize it no matter how hard he tried. He was astonished: "When did you do it?"
