"Gu Liangyuan, Ye Fan and I just slept together, nothing happened. Do you really have to be this angry?
Can you be a bit more mature and stop being so unreasonable?
If this is your attitude, then I don't think we need to continue anymore!"
In the grand hall adorned with intricate carvings, the young woman's eyebrows arched sharply as she looked at the young man seated at the head of the hall, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain.
The young man sat with his eyes lowered, not responding, his emotions unreadable.
On either side of the hall, over a dozen elders stood in two rows.
As soon as the young woman spoke, anger surged among the elders. The fluctuation of their powers made the spiritual energy in the hall turn turbulent.
Despite this, no one acted. Instead, they all turned their gaze to the young man above, seemingly waiting for his command to unleash a thunderous strike.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Liangyuan slowly raised his head and looked at the young woman glaring at him.
He had been in this world for twenty-five years, and perhaps due to some accident during his transmigration, he only awakened memories of his past life a few days ago.
Originally, he was just an ordinary farmer's son who, by chance, was brought to the Supreme Holy Realm by his master to cultivate.
In the Supreme Holy Land, there were seven lineages, each corresponding to one of the seven supreme arts. His master was the head of the Supreme Emotionless Lineage.
Later, when his master exhausted his lifespan, as the sole disciple, he naturally inherited his master's position without any contention.
After all, Emotionless Peak was indeed too poor, with nothing worth fighting over.
Even the dozen or so elders in the hall were borrowed from the Sect Master to support the scene.
It's worth mentioning that although his cultivation was mediocre, his seniority was extremely high, being the granduncle of the Holy Land.
Even the Sect Master had to address him as "Little Martial Uncle"!
It was a perfect start, with resources and status at his disposal!
But unfortunately... his previous self was a huge simp!
The object of his simping was none other than this girl from a small family—Meng Yao!
For Meng Yao, he not only gave her all the cultivation resources provided by the Sect Master over the years but also used his status to arrange for her to cultivate at the Jade Pool Holy Land, which was on par with the Supreme Holy Land.

This led to his cultivation being delayed.
If the two were in love, it wouldn't have mattered.
In the three years they knew each other, he hadn't even held her hand!
She didn't even acknowledge him as her Dao companion!
To others, she only said he was her pursuer.
Yet he often regarded himself as Meng Yao's Dao companion.
Meng Yao frequently declined his invitations to meet, but never once refused his gifts and support.
She always said, "I will repay you in the future."
Before awakening his memories, he was even more excited, thinking Meng Yao was being self-reliant and self-loving.
In hindsight, it was clearly just an excuse to keep him on the hook.
And as if that wasn't enough, she had a childhood sweetheart named Ye Fan, to whom she gave more than half of the cultivation resources he provided her.
There were often rumors of her and Ye Fan being involved, yet he firmly believed Meng Yao wasn't that kind of person.
But this time, when a disciple from the Holy Land reported seeing Meng Yao and Ye Fan spending a night together, he couldn't hold back any longer and sent people to beat Ye Fan up.
Just as Ye Fan was about to be killed, Meng Yao suddenly intervened, saving Ye Fan's life.
Then Ye Fan shouted the familiar slogan, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," and Gu Liangyuan's Divine Soul was shaken, awakening his past life's memories.
With those memories, he suddenly realized how absurd his past actions were!
Even the most foolish would have realized!
So, he immediately ordered to cut off all support to Meng Yao and cease all dealings between the Supreme Holy Land and the Meng family. He planned to deal with her properly once he fully absorbed his past life's memories.
But before he could act, Meng Yao unexpectedly came to apologize for some unknown reason.
She claimed to apologize, but now it seemed more like she was here to accuse him!
Seeing Gu Liangyuan remain silent for a long time, Meng Yao's face showed impatience:
"If you're only retaliating against me because of Ye Fan, then that's just too childish.
Do you think this will make me fall in love with you? Dream on!
The way you are now only makes me despise you more!"
After saying all this, Meng Yao ignored the glares from the elders and turned to leave the hall.
She had known Gu Liangyuan for three years, and three years ago, she wouldn't have dared speak to him like this.
After all, back then, she was just a small Qi Refining cultivator, while Gu Liangyuan was a granduncle of a Holy Land.
But through countless tests over the past three years, she believed she had completely grasped Gu Liangyuan.
No matter how harsh her words were, in the end, Gu Liangyuan would still come running to appease her.
In her view, before she stepped out of the hall, Gu Liangyuan would surely call her back and coax her with sweet words.
Then, she only needed to casually mention her family's matters, and Gu Liangyuan would revert to his simp behavior, and everything would return to normal.
Listening to Meng Yao's words, Gu Liangyuan's anger surged!
I was the one who put you on a pedestal, and you really think you're a chosen one?
Just as Gu Liangyuan was about to act on his murderous intent, a system notification suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Ding, the host's past life memories have been detected, and the system is now activated."
"In response to Meng Yao's current behavior, please choose:"
"1. Continue being a simp to the end, sincerely apologize to Meng Yao, gain her forgiveness, and activate the Invincible Bootlicker System."
"2. Dominate the heavens, starting by never being a simp again. Make Meng Yao truly regret, and kill her and Ye Fan completely, activating the Disciple Recruitment Rebate System."
My system, you're finally here!
Looking at the two options, Gu Liangyuan immediately chose the second!
He had always despised the behavior of simps and naturally didn't want to apologize to Meng Yao or activate any bootlicker system.
Moreover, as the head of a lineage, recruiting disciples was clearly more fitting for him.
While enhancing his strength, he could also honor his deceased master's legacy.
"Ding, the host's choice is successful, and the Disciple Recruitment Rebate System is now activated. Please complete the task as soon as possible."
At this moment, Meng Yao was just one step away from leaving the hall. She thought to herself:
In the past, he would have called me back when I was three steps from the door. I didn't expect Gu Liangyuan to hold out until the last step this time.
Fine, let's see how long you can hold out.
With this thought, Meng Yao lifted her long leg again, stepping halfway out of the hall.
Just then, Gu Liangyuan's voice suddenly came:
"Wait a moment."
Hearing Gu Liangyuan's words, Meng Yao paused, a slight smile forming at the corner of her mouth.
Everything was going as expected.
The elders on both sides of the hall turned red with anger.
The reason was simple: they were furious.
Meng Yao was like this, and you still want to coax her?
Please, stop being a simp, okay?
You're a granduncle of the Holy Land; what woman can't you have? Why hang yourself on the tree of Meng Yao!
Several elders even imagined the next scene: Meng Yao turning back to mock Gu Liangyuan.
Then Gu Liangyuan would lower himself to please Meng Yao, paying a series of costs to make her happy.
Because they had seen similar scenes three to five times already!
Meng Yao turned back to look at Gu Liangyuan and naturally said:
"What, have you realized your mistake?"
