“Nanshan Lu and Nanshan Lie, the two Senior Brothers, are actually both standing by Qin Yu’s side? Why? Do they not know what kind of person Qin Yu is?”
“Qin Yu is skilled at bewitching people; she must have used some method to deceive the two Senior Brothers.”
Mo Xiaoxing looked left and right. The ones standing beside her were indeed Nanshan Lu and Nanshan Lie, and she was very surprised!
Although she felt she got along well with the First Senior Brother and okay with the Second Senior Brother… in this kind of situation, she would have understood even if they had kept their distance.
Yet, them standing directly beside her formed a stark contrast to those who had dodged far away.
Understanding was one thing… but in this moment, she couldn’t help but feel moved.
“First Senior Brother…”
Nanshan Lu looked at Mo Xiaoxing and smiled. “You look quite good wearing the sect robe today.”
Mo Xiaoxing brushed her sleeves somewhat uncomfortably.
Wearing this robe signified the Changtian Sect. By wearing it today, Mo Xiaoxing was determined to take a gamble; if the Master protected her, she would protect the Changtian Sect in the future!
Nanshan Lu added, “Don’t pay attention to what others say. You will receive justice today.”
Mo Xiaoxing nodded. “Mm.”
Nanshan Lie stood with his arms crossed. He didn’t have Nanshan Lu’s mild temperament; hearing many people gossiping in his ears made him increasingly irritated.
He turned his head, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd, his whole body seething.
“Whoever is dissatisfied, step forward and say it! If I hear one more word of gossip, don’t blame my fists for greeting you!”
The surrounding area immediately fell into silence.
Everyone knew Nanshan Lie’s temper, and they all knew his fists!
Those who had been greeted by his fists had no reason left to be dissatisfied.
At this moment, a male disciple said, “Everything people are saying is the truth…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Nanshan Lie suddenly grabbed him by the collar and hauled him over.
“So, you are the one who is dissatisfied?”
The male disciple’s feet left the ground. Nanshan Lie’s presence was too overwhelming; staring directly into his eyes, the man could hardly speak clearly.
“No, no, I am satisfied…”
Only then did Nanshan Lie throw him aside.
The crowd indeed stopped discussing it. None of them wanted to taste Nanshan Lie’s fists; to put it bluntly, this Senior Brother was simply too unreasonable.
Mo Xiaoxing looked at Nanshan Lie with emotion, her eyes seemingly turning into stars.
Her gaze was too direct; Nanshan Lie couldn’t ignore it even if he wanted to.
However, his expression didn’t improve much. He glanced at her and said, “What kind of look is that? Why are you staring at me?”
Mo Xiaoxing looked at his fist, then back into his eyes.
“Fists are the only truth; it’s better to be a bit savage when dealing with people!”
The words were true, but who was he calling savage!
“Hehehe, I heard that the Princess of the Yuewu Kingdom has a penchant for handsome men, and that she doesn’t even spare her own Senior Brothers. Her six Senior Brothers have been endlessly troubled, hiding as far as they can, and naturally, there hasn’t been much sibling affection. Looking at it now, the rumors seem to be incorrect.
However, I had assumed that since Qin Yu colluded with the Demon Sect and plunged Ruian City into war, the Changtian Sect would not be lenient. I thought she would be tied up and brought before the hall to be dealt with in public, giving everyone an explanation.
I didn’t expect that so long after the war, Qin Yu would remain safe and sound, sheltered by the sect. Since everyone is just speaking a few fair words, Nanshan Lie, you want to resort to violence?
We six sects have come from afar; is this your Changtian Sect’s way of hospitality?”
At this moment, a smiling female voice came from afar and approached, though the underlying force was incredibly strong.
The woman was wearing a red daoist robe; her appearance was alluring, her smile bewitching, and her figure swayed slightly as she walked, a thick, sweet fragrance drifting faintly through the air.
Many disciples with lower cultivation levels couldn’t help but blush and have their hearts race upon hearing her voice and smelling the fragrance.
Following closely behind her were two men, one holding a fan for her and the other clearing the path.
The crowd turned around, and upon seeing who it was, they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
“It’s the Little Jade Immortal from the Yuliu Sect, the number one beauty in the world! She has come too.”
“With the Seven Sects Master Alliance, such a grand event, naturally everyone wants to come!”
“The Little Jade Immortal is truly as beautiful as a fairy. After seeing such beauty, other mediocre flowers cannot catch one’s eye.”
“If we talk about looks, Qin Yu is no match for the Little Jade Immortal. When the Beauty Scroll was posted last year, the person ranked number one was originally Qin Yu, but because of her bad conduct, she was crossed off!”
“Deserved! How could someone like Qin Yu be worthy of being the number one beauty in the world? It’s a joke!”
At this point, Mo Xiaoxing also looked at the woman who was speaking.
The woman’s lips held a smile, her brows and eyes bewitching. Even she, a woman, felt… a bit moved?
She instantly realized that this was a charm technique!
In her mind, information about the Little Jade Immortal and the Yuliu Sect immediately surfaced.
The Yuliu Sect was also one of the Seven Great Sects. Unlike the others, the Yuliu Sect only accepted female disciples, and their cultivation methods were naturally different and more feminine.
Charm techniques were the most common; every disciple of the Yuliu Sect practiced them.
And this Little Jade Immortal was the beloved disciple of the Yuliu Sect Master, the Buddha Maiden. She was only nineteen and had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago.
Furthermore, this Little Jade Immortal was indeed the number one beauty ranked on the Beauty Scroll.
Combining all this, among a group of Qi-Refining stage disciples, the Little Jade Immortal was naturally radiant, carrying her own halo.
“The six sects have come from afar. I take you as guests, yet all of you, with so many mouths, are making wild accusations and talking nonsense while pointing at my Junior Sister. Is this your etiquette as guests?”
Nanshan Lie looked at the Little Jade Immortal and retorted.
Mo Xiaoxing couldn’t help but look at Nanshan Lie again with emotion. He was truly bold! While others were dazed by the Little Jade Immortal’s charm, he was still able to talk back to a beauty.
“Hehehe…”
The Little Jade Immortal covered her lips and laughed. “Nanshan Lie, you really haven’t changed at all; you make people angry just by looking at you!”
The man holding the fan on the side immediately said, “Little Jade Immortal, don’t pay attention to him. Let’s not be angry.”
The other man clearing the path also said obsequiously, “That’s right, that’s right. Nanshan Lie is just a martial arts fanatic, a foul man. Little Jade Immortal, don’t mind him.”
Nanshan Lie merely glanced at them with disdain; his expression said it all.
Those two were disciples of the Saint Phoenix Sect, yet they were fawning over the Little Jade Immortal, and he despised them for it.
Mo Xiaoxing stood behind Nanshan Lie; he had just blocked in front of her.
…Was it to repay her for saving his life?
Regardless, Mo Xiaoxing felt truly warmed inside.
She quietly tugged on Nanshan Lie’s sleeve.
Nanshan Lie tilted his head to look at her, asking silently.
Mo Xiaoxing: “Nanshan Lie, you will definitely become a peerless expert.”
Nanshan Lie looked at Mo Xiaoxing strangely. Although he didn’t know why she suddenly said something like that, still…
“You actually have some insight.”
Mo Xiaoxing smiled.
A heart without women makes for a godly cultivation. Nanshan Lie would definitely become a god.
Mo Xiaoxing suddenly stepped out from behind Nanshan Lie and looked at the Little Jade Immortal.
She didn’t want to cause trouble, but since someone had named her explicitly, she naturally wouldn’t act like a coward.
“Little Jade Immortal, when the Beauty Scroll was posted last year, I was the number one beauty in the world. Later, when I was crossed off, you went from second to first. I am particularly curious: are you happy being number one?”
