“Heavens! I can’t accept this, how could Senior Sister Qi fall in love with this little white boy?”
“It must be because Lin Yue used some kind of flowery language, coupled with his manly looks, that he was able to trick Senior Sister Qi’s heart.”
“How could Senior Sister Qi fall for that scum Lin Yue, goddess-like as she is, how could she degrade herself?”
None of the Sacred Transmission disciples present could endure this scene that was happening in front of their eyes, many of them were heartbroken, they would rather Qi Fayu end up alone than see Qi Fayu fall into Lin Yue’s embrace.
Of course, there were also many Sacred Transmission disciples who were extremely envious.
“How good would it be if I were Lin Yue? As long as I can hold hands with Senior Sister Qi, even if I can only live for one day, I would be willing.”
“Lin Yue’s luck, how can he be so good? Qi Fayu is the heir of a Medieval Family, getting her favour is like getting the support of a Medieval Family, and you’ll have a great future in the future. Envious!”
Regardless of whether the crowd was jealous or envious, Zhang Ruochen’s heart did not fluctuate in any way as he looked towards Xun Hua Liu and Mu Ji Ji and said, “I still have some important matters that I need to attend to, so why don’t the two of you send Senior Sister Qi back to the Jade Clearance Palace for me?”
Xun Hua Liu and Mu Ji Ji revealed a flattered look, their hearts ecstatic as they immediately straightened their spines. Xun Hua Liu said without hesitation, “Good.”
“Righteous.”Mu Jiji patted his chest.
Xun Hua Liu and Mu Ji Ji had just walked towards Qi Fei Yu and Zhang Ruochen when they felt a powerful oppressive force, only to see that all of Qi Fei Yu’s suitors were staring at them with warning gazes.
The two of them, immediately turned pale and quickly stepped back.
“Boss, I still think that it’s better for you to personally send Senior Sister Qi back to the Jade Clearance Palace.”Mu Jiji said.
Xun Hua Liu coughed dryly and just stopped, saying, “Senior Sister Qi is a fairy in the sky, not something that mundane people like me can touch.”
Zhang Ruochen of course knew that all of Qi Fayu’s suitors were not to be messed with, so he naturally didn’t make things difficult for them.
One of the suitors called Xie Yunfan, carrying a red-coloured longsword with a snake-scaled iron belt wrapped around his waist, stepped out and stared at Zhang Ruochen with an icy gaze, saying, “I’m a disciple of the Jade Clearance Palace, so if you hand over Senior Sister Qi to me, I can escort her back.”
“Good.”
Zhang Ruochen appeared quite pained and was about to hand over Qi Fayu, to the man opposite.
“Count on you to be sensible.”
Xie Yunfan stretched out a finger, pointing it straight at Zhang Ruochen’s face, and said in an imposing manner, “In addition, I’m warning you, stay away from Senior Sister Qi in the future, she’s not something you can get your hands on. Toads should never presume to eat swan meat, or else, they will surely die a miserable death.”
Most of the surrounding Sacred Transmission disciples revealed teasing eyes.
Lin Yue, this toad, deserved to be taught a lesson.
If Xie Yunfan made a move and crippled Lin Yue’s limbs, it would be even more delightful. In the audience, those Sacred Transmission disciples who were secretly in love with Qi Fayu, all of them revealed gloating smiles.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen had wanted to avoid conflict as much as possible by handing Qi Fayu over to someone else to escort her, so as not to fall into the trap she had designed.
However, the current situation was a little different.
Who was pointed at their nose and warned, but could still smile and send out the woman beside them to the other party?
Even if Qi Fayu was a poisonous scorpion, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to give it away right now.
In the face of Xie Yunfan’s warning, Zhang Ruochen revealed a smirking expression, gently nodded, and made another move that shocked everyone.
He stretched out a hand and directly pressed it to Qi Fayu’s savage waist, wrapping his five fingers around it rather forcefully, saying, “I suddenly changed my mind, it’s better to personally send Senior Sister Qi back to the Jade Clearance Palace.”
It had to be said that Qi Fayu’s waist was very slim, round and full of elasticity, and Zhang Ruochen’s large hand could wrap around a small portion of it in a tight grip.
Qi Fayu’s delicate body, spasmed violently, and the two jade hands placed on Zhang Ruochen’s waist also tightened slightly, her shell teeth clenched, and an icy cold light appeared in her eyes.
Zhang Ruochen was completely oblivious to Qi Fayu’s eyes.
Could it be that you are only allowed to reckon with me, but not allow me to snatch back some initiative?
With this, Zhang Ruochen wrapped his arm around Qi Fayu’s waist and left straight away, travelling in the direction of the Jade Clearance Palace, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded Sacred Transmission disciples. From the beginning to the end, Qi Fayu actually did not resist, much less make a move to reject him.
Everyone, all of them froze.
Just like this, on the way from the Ancient God Mountain to the Jade Clearance Palace, all the disciples could see the strange scene of “Lin Yue embracing Qi Fayu”, and they didn’t know how many people’s hearts were broken.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen also wanted to take this opportunity to feel Qi Fayu’s backbone to find out if she was an Immortal Blood Clan.
But Qi Fayu’s hands, which appeared to be gently placed on his waist, had actually gouged Zhang Ruochen’s abdominal vitals.
As long as Zhang Ruochen moved around, her fingers were able to pierce through Zhang Ruochen’s body in an instant.
Zhang Ruochen’s hand, too, gouged her vitals.
What seemed to be a rather ambiguous picture was, in reality, completely different from what the crowd had imagined.
It wasn’t until Zhang Ruochen sent Qi Fayu back to the Jade Clearance Palace that the two of them loosened their hands.
Qi Fayu glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said in a cold voice, “Sooner or later, I will personally chop off that hand of yours.”
“I hate women like you the most, who are obviously scheming against others, but still act like they are victims.”
Zhang Ruochen carried his hands behind his back, not bothering to continue paying attention to Qi Fayu, and left the Jade Clearance Palace straight away.
Returning to the small courtyard on the Zixia Spirit Mountain, Zhang Ruochen greeted Xiao Hei and told him to continue to supervise Xun Hua Liu and Mu Ji Ji’s cultivation. Afterwards, he entered the World of Picture Scrolls.
At the Ancient God Mountain, fighting Qi Fayu had made Zhang Ruochen realise the gap between himself and the top cultivators of the Eighth Transformation of the Fish Dragon.
If, with his current Fish Dragon 4th Transformation cultivation, he participated in the Sword Dao Competition, it would be impossible for him to enter the top ten.
No matter what, it was imperative to make a cultivation breakthrough to the Fish Dragon Fifth Transformation.
Of course before cultivating, he had another thing to do.
Zhang Ruochen performed his body technique and arrived outside a cave mansion.
The owner of the cave residence, it seemed, sensed his arrival, and a moment later, the circular stone door opened, and a young girl with a clear appearance stepped out from inside.
She had a height of around one metre three, wearing a garment as white as snow, with a bun pulled out on her head, a slim figure, and very clear eyes that did not contain any impurities.
“Greetings, Master!”
Immediately, Cold Snow was about to kneel down and salute Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly stretched out a hand and helped her up, carefully looking towards her, saying, “Surprisingly, you’ve already grown so tall.”
Although only a few months had passed outside, yet, in the picture scroll, several years had already passed.
Calculating the age of Cold Snow, she was already ten years old, and the features on her face were already quite exquisite, as if they were carved from ice and snow, not a single flaw could be found, and at a glance, she was a beauty embryo.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Your cultivation level, you have already reached the Fish Dragon First Transformation, right?”
“Hmm!”
Cold Snow gently nodded.
She cultivated the Thousand Bone Empress’ Perishing Nerve and had the Thousand Bone Physique that surpassed the Sacred Body, so her cultivation speed naturally grew by leaps and bounds, far surpassing everyone, including Zhang Ruochen.
“Follow me.”
Zhang Ruochen led Cold Snow and travelled down the mountain.
A master and an apprentice, they kept coming to an open location under the mountain before stopping.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You have reached the Supreme Extreme Realm a total of three times in the Four Realms of the Martial Dao, and you have the Thousand Bones Physique, so even though you are at the cultivation level of the First Transformation of the Fish Dragon, you are still strong enough to fight with a cultivator of the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon. Now, you cross hands with me to try it out.”
Zhang Ruochen suppressed his cultivation to the Fish Dragon First Transformation and put his left hand behind his back, only extending a right hand and poking it forward in a welcoming stance.
Holding a bamboo sword, Han Xue injected her true qi into it, and with a twist of her arm, thirty-six sword qi were formed, turning into a circle of sword qi that enveloped Zhang Ruochen.
“Snap!”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger pointed forwards, shattering the sword qi circle. Afterwards, he quickly slapped his palm out, striking Cold Snow’s chest and sending her flying tens of feet away.
Cold Snow did not give up and rolled around on the ground, once again executing a sword technique and attacking Zhang Ruochen’s legs.
On the ground, turf and mud and rocks flew and rolled up, forming a dimly lit sandstorm.
Taking a step forward, Zhang Ruochen passed through the sand and dust, using his hand as a sword, slashing at the location of Han Xue’s shoulder and neck, sending half of her body sinking into the ground, her entire body unable to move.
“Master’s sword skill is superior, Xue’er can’t compare to Master.”
Han Xue’s gaze was gloomy, she only felt that, the cultivation that she was proud of was unbearable in front of her Master, and her heart was a little lost.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his hand, plucked Cold Snow out of the dirt, flicked a fallen leaf on her cheek, and said, “Logically, with your physique, you should be stronger than me in the same realm.”
“But now, when I suppressed my cultivation to the Fish Dragon First Transformation, you can’t block a single move from me. Do you know why?”
“Please enlighten me, Master.”Cold Snow said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Lack of training, lack of experience in fighting people, and lack of understanding of the seven passions and human feelings.”
“The seven passions, six desires, and human feelings are also related to cultivation?”Cold Snow was a little puzzled.
Zhang Ruochen stared into her eyes and said, “What’s the difference between a person without the seven passions and six desires, a person who doesn’t understand the world of human feelings, and a stone? Do you think that a stone can become a Saint?”
“Can’t.”
Cold Snow shook her head and asked, “What does Master want Snowy to do?”
“It’s time for you to enter the world and experience!”
Zhang Ruochen carried his hands behind his back and looked into the sky as he said, “The red dust is a big dyestuff tank, jumping in, some will be dyed white and some will be dyed black. However, I hope that you can always maintain a pious heart towards sainthood, and in the future, cultivate to become a saint, or even reach the heights of the former Thousand Bones Empress.”
Cold Snow’s eyes reddened a little, finally hearing and understanding that her master was asking her to leave and explore her own path of cultivation.
Tears flowed out of Han Xue’s eyes as she dropped the bamboo sword and clung onto Zhang Ruochen’s waist with a pair of small hands, saying pitifully, “Xue’er doesn’t want to leave Master Teacher, as well as Little Black.”
Zhang Ruochen gently touched Han Xue’s head and said with a complicated expression, “It’s just going out to practice, it’s not a parting of life and death. This time, when you go out for training, I want you to help me send two letters to Evil Emperor City.”
Although, Han Xue was very reluctant to leave, she still pursed her lips and agreed while shedding tears.
