Chapter 671: Chapter 331: Shameless Scoundrel
"Indeed, Fairy Su has truly reached Half-Step Divinity Transformation!"
"She must be the first among the younger generation, right?"
"What younger generation, she’s already the best in the world, isn’t she?"
"But why does it feel strange when she boasts about herself?"
"Why is Senior Sister Su provoking an unknown nobody?"
Seeing Su Hongling’s arrogant demeanor, those around couldn’t help but whisper.
Su Hongling wouldn’t care about others’ opinions, pointing at Qiu Zhihe, her entire being exuding a sense of "pride."
"Come on, let’s go at it now! This time I’ll definitely crush you!"
Qin Gengyun frowned, "Fairy Su, though we had some misunderstandings during the South Demon trip, you don’t need to target like this, right?"
Su Hongling only knew how to fight, drawing too much attention, making it easy to expose his wife’s identity, so Qin Gengyun casually made up an excuse.
As expected, the disciples of the two sects around immediately understood.
"So this female disciple offended Senior Sister Su, no wonder."
"This girl looks alright, too bad she’s about to get crushed."
Hearing Qin Gengyun’s words, Su Hongling sneered, saying to Qiu Zhihe, "For your husband’s sake, I’ll let it pass today, but at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, I’ll crush you in front of cultivators worldwide!"
At Wind Bell Village, Su Hongling was beaten half to death by Qiu Zhihe, and it was Qin Gengyun and Liu Su who saved her, so she still needed to repay this bit of kindness.
At this moment, several people flew in on their swords from afar. The middle-aged man at the front was handsome, with an ethereal, sage-like aura. As he approached, he smiled and cupped his hands toward Tantai Mingyue and Su Longxiang:
"Sect Leader Tantai, Sect Leader Su, what a coincidence."
Tantai Mingyue returned the greeting, "Sect Leader Bai, I hope you’ve been well."
Su Longxiang laughed heartily, "Bai Liu, have your injuries healed too?"
Bai Liu, Sect Leader of the Feiyun Sect.
In the battle of Celestial Ridge Mountain, the leaders of the Three Great Sects were all seriously injured and went into seclusion. Su Longxiang recovered first, while Chen Qingmo remains in seclusion.
Bai Liu’s face was rosy, and his aura restrained, clearly having restored his past cultivation. He smiled at Su Longxiang and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader Su, Bai is already fine."
Su Longxiang suddenly looked behind Bai Liu, his eyes widening.
"Fairy Jiang, you’re here too?"
The crowd followed his gaze and saw a graceful and elegant woman standing quietly behind Bai Liu.
She wore a sky-blue flowing cloud dress adorned with cherry blossoms, holding a Yaoqin, which enhanced her ethereal aura, like a fairy who doesn’t partake in the mundanity of the world.
Immediate exclamations of amazement arose around them.
"Is this Fairy Yunqin, Jiang Yin, ranked ninth on the Beauty Ranking?"
"The Feiyun Zither Waves Transmit Celestial Sound, it’s said Fairy Jiang reached the Golden Core with her music at the age of ten, drawing the attention of Auspicious Beasts."
"Indeed, heavenly beauty, she’s no less impressive than Su Hongling and Ye Xiyue!"
"No wonder Sect Leader Su is so enamored with her."
"That’s not right, I heard Sect Leader Su likes Qiu Zhihe, who is second on the Beauty Ranking, doesn’t he?"
"You don’t get it. The Sect Leader’s tastes in beauties probably change daily."
Despite the numerous admiring glances and the foolish gaze from Su Longxiang, full of infatuation, Jiang Yin remained as graceful as a fairy, seemingly detached from the world, merely offering a slight bow as a greeting.
Su Longxiang chuckled, "Fairy Jiang, did you receive my betrothal gifts at the Feiyun Sect? Ah!"
Su Hongling came over, grabbed his collar, and dragged him away.
"Idiot, making a fool of yourself!"
"Damn, Su Hongling, I’m your father!"
"And I’m hitting you, old man!"
"Ah! Stop hitting, don’t think I’m afraid of you! Ouch, dear daughter, I was wrong, stop hitting!"
This father-daughter duo is too embarrassing, and even the people of the Thunder Sword Sect couldn’t help but cover their faces, turning to fly towards the West Imperial City.
Bai Liu stroked his long beard, exuding an ethereal, sage-like aura, and glanced at the people behind Tantai Mingyue:
"Zhenyang Sect is brimming with talent, it’s truly enviable, unlike our Feiyun Sect, where there’s hardly any decent new blood."
After speaking, Bai Liu gestured to the back, "Mu Lin, hurry and come greet Sect Leader Tantai and all the Senior Brothers and Sisters."
A handsome young disciple with a gentle scholarly aura stepped forward:
"Greetings to Sect Leader Tantai."
He then courteously greeted the other Zhenyang Sect disciples, displaying elegance and thoroughness.
Tantai Mingyue smiled, "Junior Zheng’s cultivation has advanced again, truly impressive for the younger generation."
Half a year ago, Zheng Mulin represented the Feiyun Sect at the Zhenyang Sect to probe the truth about Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan’s deaths, signaling Feiyun Sect’s intent to covet Zhenyang Sect’s position as the Leader of the Righteous Path.
The relationship between the two great sects had become delicate.
At this moment, the harmony seen between the leaders and disciples from both sides was difficult to discern how genuine it was.
Zheng Mulin and Jiang Yin were both participating in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony and respectively greeted Qin Gengyun and the ten others.
Zheng Mulin was very enthusiastic, treating everyone as if they were old friends. When he reached Fang Xue, his face showed admiration:
"Junior Sister Fang, being so young and already at Nascent Soul, becoming the third senior sister of Xiyue Peak, is truly admirable!"
Fang Xue spoke coolly, "I heard that Senior Brother Zheng once had a beloved senior sister named Yin Qiaoqin, who fell into the hands of Northern Wilderness Spirit Corpses. I wonder how she’s doing now?"
Back when Si Minglan brought Yin Qiaoqin’s belongings to the Feiyun Sect to find Zheng Mulin, he betrayed her, an incident Si Minglan disclosed to Fang Xue after leaving seclusion.
Seeing Zheng Mulin now, Fang Xue naturally showed no favor.
Zheng Mulin hadn’t expected Fang Xue to suddenly ask such a question, his expression momentarily froze, barely maintaining a smile:
"I didn’t expect Junior Sister Fang to know so much about me. Senior Sister Yin unfortunately fell victim, and out of fellowship, I ventured into the Northern Wilderness several times to rescue her but was unsuccessful due to insufficient cultivation."
"There are many rumors about Senior Sister Yin and me that are incomplete or false. Please don’t misunderstand, Junior Sister Fang."
Fang Xue suddenly asked, "Did my third senior sister ever seek you out?"
Zheng Mulin’s face changed, and he hurriedly shook his head, "I have never met Si Minglan."
After speaking, he dared not linger and returned to the ranks of the Feiyun Sect’s disciples.
Watching his retreating figure, Fang Xue’s eyes turned cold.
Next, Jiang Yin came over to greet everyone. Her elegant temperament and flawless movements indeed made her seem like a celestial fairy, giving a transcendental and unapproachable feeling.
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, the two girls, were enchanted, thinking this was a true fairy!
Jiang Yin approached Qin Gengyun, and her previously cool demeanor suddenly changed. On her celestial fairy-like face appeared a hint of resentment:
"He Lang, we’ve been apart for days. Why haven’t you responded to my messages?"
???
The surroundings instantly went silent, everyone looking in astonishment.
Throughout the Cultivation Realm, everyone knew Jiang Yin was a true immortal fairy, untouched by mortal affairs and never engaging in idle conversation with any man. Yet now, she addressed Qin Gengyun so specially, like a lovesick girl abandoned by a heartless man.
Impossible!
Fake! It must be fake!
The hearts of the Feiyun Sect’s male disciples shattered.
Liu Su covered her mouth, looking shocked, Mo Xiaolan’s eyes widened, filled with inquiries, while Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er were brimming with excitement.
"Oh my, what is happening?"
"What kind of expression is that on Fairy Yunqin?"
"Could it be that Senior Brother He is truly a scum?!
"Why do I feel like a man taking his wife out only to run into an old lover?"
