Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng were both stunned when they heard Qin Wentian’s words. After that, they started laughing. The immortal sense of the two of them rudely swept over and surveyed Qin Wentian.

“Qingyi, I thought that you set your sights very high, even Lei Ba from the Thundergod Hall couldn’t enter your eyes. However, reality is so disappointing.” Mo Xiaoxiao giggled. “Such a weak aura yet daring to speak to me in this manner. This man truly doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”

“Although I don’t know what your actual cultivation base is, the you now can be smacked to death by me with a single palm. You even consumed a grand recovery pill of my Lu Clan and you still dare to speak so arrogantly?” Lu Feng had a cold smile of disdain on his face.

Chu Qingyi’s expression changed. She was very clear on what sort of person Qin Wentian was. Back then in the academy, he was the stuff of legends, fighting against all the geniuses there and despite so, could still be so arrogant and dazzling before all of them. He led a group of experts to clash against his enemies, warring till the sky changed color and even feasted on white tiger flesh.

Right now, although he was injured. But, given his pride, how could he allow Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng to insult him like this?

Stepping out, Chu Qingyi came to the side of Qin Wentian. She stared at Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng, “Mo Xiaoxiao, you guys should stop acting so insolent. His words aren’t wrong, he didn’t consume a grand recovering pill belonging to either of you. What qualifications do the two of you have to keep talking here?”

“Fine, since you still want to argue, we will ask Lu Yao’s father to come out. The grand recovery pills the Lu Clan concocted should have a connection with the City Lord Manor.” Mo Xiaoxiao coldly snorted.

“I’ve already asked someone to invite him out.” Lu Feng spoke. Chu Qingyi’s expression was very unsightly. Seems like Mo Xiaoxiao was really determined to blow things up and use it to damage her reputation. After all, the two of them were holy maidens of the Snowdrift Sage Hall and are fellow apprentice sisters. The competition between them will naturally be extremely intense. This Mo Xiaoxiao had never gotten along well with her before.

In addition, the City Lord Manor was a very complicated place. Although it was a subordinate power belonging to the Snowdrift Sage Hall, through the generations, the City Lord Manor has sent many people to join the sect and there were even some who had a very high status within. Hence, the City Lord Manor cannot be treated the same as an ordinary subordinate power.

Right now, there was a disciple with a very high status from the City Lord Manor. She was an elder from Mo Xiaoxiao’s faction and the two of them had a very good relationship. As for Lu Yao’s aunt, she was also in the Snowdrift Sage Hall but was an elder from Chu Qingyi’s faction. However, the status of Lu Yao’s aunt wasn’t that high. Hence, the City Lord Manor favored Mo Xiaoxiao more.

This was why Chu Qingyi wasn’t that willing to bring Qin Wentian to the City Lord Manor in the first place. She had no choice in the end due to the seriousness of his injuries.

An expected, not too long after, a group of experts came by. Their group formation was very impressive and there were even several elders within. Even Lu Yao’s father was here, with a cultivation base at the initial-stage of the immortal king realm. After he arrived, he instantly understood that Lu Yao had created trouble. Seems like his daughter must have offended Mo Xiaoxiao. To think that his daughter would be swept up within the storm between Mo Xiaoxiao and Chu Qingyi. This was something he wasn’t willing to see.

“Uncle.” Chu Qingyi greeted Lu Yao’s father.

“Holy Maiden Qingyi, Holy Maiden Xiaoxiao.” Lu Yao’s father, Lu Zhan, greeted back.

“Lu Zhan.” Mo Xiaoxiao coldly spoke, not giving him face at all. “The grand recovery pills are something concocted by the Lu Clan and cannot be credited to you alone, right?”

“Naturally.” Lu Zhan nodded. How could he concoct a powerful pill like a seventh-grade grand recovery pill on his own?

“The Lu Clan will give a number of grand recovery pills to the Snowdrift Sage Hall every year. However, because the Snowdrift Sage Hall is merciful, we wouldn’t take every single pill produced and would leave some behind for people of the Lu Clan. There’s nothing wrong with you giving one to your daughter Lu Yao, but she should have left it for her own use. Instead of doing so, she actually gave it to a lecher to consume. This man lusts after beauty and barged into the Coldnether Lake while we were cultivating there. He was injured by me yet Lu Yao actually used a grand recovery pill to save him? How can you say that I have no connection to this matter? Lu Zhan, give me an explanation now.”

“Lu Yao is ignorant, and I beseech holy maiden to forgive her. However, since the great recovery pill has already been consumed, it’s useless even if you want him to repay it. I still have a grand recovery pill with me and I’m willing to gift it with respect to holy maiden Xiaoxiao.” Lu Zhan spoke.

“Father, why are you doing this?” Lu Yao spoke with unwillingness.

“Quiet.” Lu Zhan berated her, causing an expression of being wronged to appear on her face.

“And?” Mo Xiaoxiao coldly laughed.

“Lu Yao committed a mistake due to her ignorance. I will naturally punish her well.” Lu Zhan continued.

“Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Yao. I was the one who requested the grand recovery pill from her. There’s no need for you to punish her. Mo Xiaoxiao, if you have anything against me, you can just come straight at me. There’s no need for you to exert dominance here.” Chu Qingyi’s eyes flickered with coldness, staring at Mo Xiaoxiao.

“Qingyi, you are my junior apprentice sister and I naturally won’t punish you. However, since you are also a holy maiden of our sect, how can I let you continue on this path of mistakes? You are now ensnared by the world of emotions and you actually gave a grand recovery pill to such a lecher?” Mo Xiaoxiao spoke. She then smiled in a mocking manner, “I will report this matter upwards to the sect. If you make a decision here now, you may still be in time to avoid trouble.”

“What do you want me to do?” Chu Qingyi frowned. Mo Xiaoxiao’s smile then widened.

“Kill him and make your Dao Heart return to normal. Only by doing so would our sect not punish you. If not, even if your talent is outstanding, the sect would definitely be extremely disappointed towards you.” At this moment, a voice rang out. The person who spoke was a young man in white. He was handsome and exuded an extraordinary aura as well as a sense of noble elegance.

The cultivation of this person was at the peak of immortal-foundation. His name was Lu Zhanfei, and has a very good relationship with Mo Xiaoxiao. He can be considered from the direct line of descent. He has outstanding talent and the nephew of Mo Xiaoxiao’s elder in the sect. He is heavily favored by the Lu Clan and had once pursued Chu Qingyi but was rejected by her with no hesitation. He had always been angered by that and wanted to find ways to make Chu Qingyi his.

Qin Wentian’s eyes glanced over, flickering with killing intent. This man wanted Chu Qingyi to kill to correct her Dao heart?

Although he was very weak and still heavily injured now, with his cultivation base unrestored yet, how dare a mere immortal-foundation character say such a thing.

“Are you sure of the words you just said?” Qin Wentian coldly glanced at Lu Zhanfei. When Lu Zhanfei saw Qin Wentian’s eyes, he actually felt a sense of threat. This actually made him angry. He couldn’t help but to feel provoked as he icily replied, “You are not qualified to speak to me.”

“Qin Wentian, the experts in the Lu Clan are as numerous as the clouds. Mo Xiaoxiao is in control here, just bear with it and don’t act impulsively or they might really act to kill you and I won’t be able to stop it.” Chu Qingyi transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian. “Just endure it for now, I will definitely protect your safety.”

Qin Wentian was somewhat taken aback when he heard this. He asked, “Why are you doing this?”

A faint smile appeared on Chu Qingyi’s face but she didn’t reply. She stared at Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Zhanfei before she coldly spoke, “The great recovery pill was requested by me, I will naturally pay one back to Lu Yao. This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Lu, I will bear this debt alone. You can report up to the sect if you want to. I will wait for the Snowdrift Sage Hall to give the command. However, for those who dare to make a move on my friend before my eyes, that will be considered as forming a death grudge with me, Chu Qingyi. I won’t rest until either of us dies.”

As the sound of her voice faded, she shot a cold and threatening glance at the crowd, especially at the other elders of the Lu Clan. Although Mo Xiaoxiao has more influence here, Chu Qingyi was after all, still a holy maiden of the Snowdrift Sage Hall. If these people wanted to make a move on Qin Wentian, they had to consider carefully if they wanted to offend her.

The people of the Lu Clan all had strange gleams in their eyes when they saw how determined Chu Qingyi was. Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed. She was watching the scene with interest. Chu Qingyi wanted to protect this man? How interesting. Since this is the case, she wanted to see how Chu Qingyi would be able to protect this man.

“The birthday celebration for the City Lord should be happening soon, right?” Mo Xiaoxiao spoke.

“Yes.” An old man replied.

“Mhm, at the time during the celebration, my senior apprentice aunt will definitely come back to wish the City Lord well. At that time, let’s wait for her to return before we settle this matter in the face of senior City Lord.” Mo Xiaoxiao stated, her words causing Chu Qingyi’s expression to change.

“During these days, everyone should pay close attention to the lover of my junior apprentice sister Qingyi. Don’t let him escape.” Mo Xiaoxiao coldly commanded.

“Yes.” Someone nodded to acknowledge. After that, Mo Xiaoxiao’s group departed the area, flying through the air. Lu Zhanfei still remained behind. He stared at Chu Qingyi before glancing at Qin Wentian. “Qingyi, if you agree to my marriage proposal, my aunt definitely won’t pursue this matter.”

“Scram.” Chu Qingyi icily spoke. He wanted to use this matter to threaten her?

When Lu Zhanfei heard that, his countenance turned extremely ugly. He shot a glacial look at Qin Wentian, “You would rather be in love with this trash compared to marrying me? I, Lu Zhanfei, am almost able to break through to the immortal king realm. How am I not worthy of you? Chu Qingyi, you will definitely regret this.”

After that, he coldly snorted and left with a flick of his sleeve. The only people remaining were Lu Yao and her father, Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan glanced at Chu Qingyi before turning to Lu Yao. After that, he could only sigh helplessly.

“Uncle, this matter was started because of me, it originally had nothing to do with Mo Xiaoxiao. I didn’t expect that she would intentionally want to blow this matter up and implicate Lu Yao. I’m really very sorry about this and will try my best to salvage things. In this period of time, can I trouble Uncle to help me take care of my friend?” Chu Qingyi beseeched. She still had something she had to do. Hopefully, it would be able to resolve this crisis.

“Mhm, since things have come to this extent, just go and do what you have to. Since holy maiden Mo Xiaoxiao said that she would wait until the date of the birthday celebration, I don’t think she would try anything funny now.” Lu Zhan spoke. Chu Qingyi nodded and turned to Qin Wentian. “Recuperate well here and wait for my return.”

Qin Wentian glanced at Chu Qingyi, knowing that she was really helping him from the bottom of her heart. He could only sigh and say, “Chu Qingyi, we might both have a grudge back then in the past but I have already forgotten that. You don’t owe me anything and you don’t have to trouble yourself to help me.”

“But...I’m unable to forget.” Chu Qingyi smiled in a somewhat poignant manner. After that, she turned and left the area.

She knew that with Qin Wentian’s character, he had already been disgusted with her right from the start. Right now, he probably wouldn’t feel any goodwill towards her. She wouldn’t request for anything in return, she only wanted to follow her heart and protect Qin Wentian from being in danger here!action
