"Sister, can we slow down a bit?"
"I've just finished exerting myself, at least take care of me!"
On a flight of stairs within the Lingyun Immortal Sect, Zhou Xuan pouted and protested as he watched Lin Qingxuan stride ahead.
Ever since Tai Xuan Dao Ren had told her to take him to the Celestial Treasure Hall, this girl had been walking at a brisk pace, paying no mind to whether he could keep up.
While Zhou Xuan was somewhat interested in the Celestial Treasure Hall mentioned by Tai Xuan Dao Ren.
He had indeed put in a lot of effort when he was treating the poison for Tian Huo Dao Ren.
He hadn't felt anything at the time, but after sitting down to rest for a while, the fatigue had become even more intense.
"Oh, little brother!"
"No way, no way!"
"You can't handle just this short walk?"
"It seems your physique is a bit weak!"
"You need to replenish yourself well!"
"Fortunately, we have quite a few nourishing medicinal herbs within our sect. I'll get you some later!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's protest from behind, Lin Qingxuan finally stopped.
However, when she turned her head and saw Zhou Xuan gasping for breath, her playful nature resurfaced.
She stared at Zhou Xuan's body mockingly, shaking her head and clicking her tongue, appearing quite disdainful!
As expected, seeing Lin Qingxuan like this, Zhou Xuan's anger flared.
He immediately straightened his back, his previous weariness vanishing!
"You're the weak one!"
"With my cultivation, do I need tonics?"
"Lead the way, I'd like to see just how extraordinary your Lingyun Immortal Sect's Celestial Treasure Pavilion is!"
After speaking, Zhou Xuan directly strode past Lin Qingxuan, walking ahead with great confidence.
For a man, the worst thing he could endure was being told he was incapable!
It was a great insult to a man!
"Heh heh!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan like this, Lin Qingxuan covered her mouth and chuckled, then quickly followed.
The two continued on their way towards the Celestial Treasure Hall, but because the Celestial Treasure Hall was located in the back mountain of the Lingyun Immortal Sect.
Therefore, when traveling from the main hall to there, they always had to pass by some cultivation grounds of the Lingyun Immortal Sect disciples.
And whenever Zhou Xuan and Lin Qingxuan passed these places together, some disciples would stop their cultivation practice.
To greet Lin Qingxuan proactively.
And Zhou Xuan could see a hidden affection in the eyes of those disciples who stepped forward.
It was clear that these were all Lin Qingxuan's admirers.
Originally, these had nothing to do with Zhou Xuan, until...
"Qing Xuan, what a coincidence, meeting you here!"
"Where are you off to?"
As Zhou Xuan and the two passed by a courtyard, a slightly effeminate voice slowly sounded, interrupting their forward progress!
"Senior Brother Mo Bai, you're out of seclusion?"
"Nothing much, just following my father's orders!"
"To take this fellow to the Celestial Treasure Pavilion!"
Hearing the voice from behind, Zhou Xuan and Lin Qingxuan slowly turned around.
Then they saw a man dressed in white, holding a folding fan, with a rather handsome appearance, slowly walking towards them!
"Oh?"
"This friend looks somewhat unfamiliar, he's likely not from our Lingyun Immortal Sect, is he?"
"Qing Xuan, are you sure you weren't mistaken?"
"I recall Master once mentioning that outsiders are not allowed to enter the Celestial Treasure Pavilion."
As the man in white reached them and stood beside them, his eyes were fixed directly on Lin Qingxuan.
The desire hidden in his eyes was more intense than any disciple Zhou Xuan had seen!
"Senior Brother Mo Bai, what do you mean by that?"
"Are you suspecting me of forging my father's orders and bringing a stranger into our sect's important place?"
Hearing the words of the man in white before her, Lin Qingxuan's small face immediately sank!
"Of course not, Qing Xuan, you've misunderstood me!"
"How could I possibly suspect you!"
"I'm just worried that you might have misheard the order, and if you were to be punished by the Master later, I would be heartbroken!"
Seeing that Lin Qingxuan seemed a little unhappy, the man in white quickly explained.
At the same time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, his words portrayed his relationship with Lin Qingxuan as extremely intimate.
To anyone listening, it would seem as if they were a couple!
"Senior Brother Mo Bai, please show some self-respect!"
"We are merely fellow disciples, please refrain from saying such things that might cause misunderstanding in the future!"
"With my father's orders, Qing Xuan cannot stay any longer!"
"Farewell!"
After saying this, Lin Qingxuan did not pay attention to the man in white's reaction.
She directly took Zhou Xuan's arm and forcibly pulled him away quickly.
"Lin Qingxuan, you cannot escape my grasp!"
"In the future, I will definitely make you submit to me!"
"At that time, I'd like to see who can compete with me for the position of the next Sect Master!"
"That black tiger, you just wait!"
"The humiliation of that palm strike back then, I will repay you for it one day!"
"And that kid from before, I hope you'll be sensible!"
"If you dare to compete with me for her, I will make your death very rhythmic!"
Watching Zhou Xuan and the two disappear from sight, the man in white finally dropped his pretense.
He clenched his hand towards the direction they had left, as if trying to grasp something in his palm!
Then, the man muttered a few words to himself on the spot before turning and walking back into his courtyard.
"I didn't expect you, little girl, to be quite charming!"
"To have so many people infatuated with you!"
"Tell me, who was that guy just now!"
"Judging by his aura, he should already have the cultivation of the Shaping Realm!"
"And by the looks of it, his age should not be much different from Black Tiger!"
"Someone like this, he must not be an unknown figure in your sect!"
Long after leaving the courtyard, seeing Lin Qingxuan, who was silent beside him.
The slightly stifled Zhou Xuan broke the awkward silence first.
"His name is Li Mo Bai, and like Senior Brother Black Tiger, he is a direct disciple of my father."
"Their cultivation talents are comparable."
"Back then, when he was competing for the representative figure of the younger generation, he lost to Senior Brother Black Tiger by a narrow margin."
"Since then, he confined himself indoors to cultivate in seclusion!"
"And he vowed that as long as he lived, he would definitely surpass Senior Brother Black Tiger and become the most outstanding disciple of our Lingyun Immortal Sect!"
"When I passed by here before, he was always in seclusion."
"I just didn't expect him to come out of seclusion today!"
"From what you said just now, it seems he has just broken through his cultivation and thus ended his seclusion!"
"However, if he knew that Senior Brother Black Tiger had already broken through to the Shaping Realm a year ago!"
"What would he think then?"
