Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 697 - 304: The Blushing Fox

After spending five days going back and forth between the Alchemy Hall and the Array Hall, a well-prepared Lu Jin'an stepped out of the Array Hall, exhaling a long breath.

The hot mist in his sight dissipated. There had been a lot of snowy days recently, and now snowflakes were still falling from the sky.

Lu Jin'an bid farewell to the elder of the Array Hall, and after his work was done, he leisurely walked along the road, holding an umbrella and enjoying the snow.

There were quite a few disciples coming and going within the sect, and during greetings and conversations, one matter caught Lu Jin'an's interest.

"Saint Heir, Qiu Qingtang from the Qingqiu Qiu Clan has been challenging others daily these past few days. Since there are no Direct Disciples with cultivation higher than hers, she specifically chooses to challenge the deacons from each peak and hall, and she hasn't lost once so far."

"There are also quite a few Direct Disciples who have voluntarily challenged her, but none have won."

"Junior Master Ji praised her as worthy of being called the Qingqiu Fox Emperor, but then he didn't give any face to the deacon seniors..."

"By the way, in another thirty minutes, she'll have a sparring match with Elder Bai. I wonder if Elder Bai can win..."

"Elder Bai was the top Direct Disciple of our Wandao Sect's previous generation and has now completed Crossing Tribulation, becoming a Demi Immortal, integrating the Law of Tribulation Force; how could he lose?"

"There's just a rumor outside about 'Demi Immortals'; our Wandao Sect never acknowledges 'Demi Immortals,' always treating them as Tribulation Crossing Realm."

"We'll know after the match, are you interested, Saint Heir?"

Listening to the conversation between his junior brothers and sisters, Lu Jin'an was a bit surprised. Why was this flirtatious fox suddenly interested in 'kicking the hall' instead of focusing on her usual flirtatious pursuits?

Is this still the flirtatious fox he knew?

Going over the events related to Qiu Qingtang during this period, Lu Jin'an became even more puzzled and curious.

Just what is this flirtatious fox planning? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

So he decided to go and see.

······

Zhi Ge Peak is a place for the Wandao Sect's disciples to spar and exchange skills. The reasons for sparring can be good or bad, but the ultimate goal is always to resolve conflicts.

It can't be said that it can resolve all conflicts, but it can alleviate them to a certain extent.

On either side of the mountain gate of Zhi Ge Peak are written eight large characters, "Stop War for Martial Art" and "Use Martial Art to Stop War," penned by Sect Master Zheng, containing his Immortal Law Daoist Skill.

For the disciples practicing Sect Master's Daoist Skill within the sect, this place can be considered one of their sacred cultivation grounds.

At this moment, the snow-covered summit of Zhi Ge Peak was crowded with people. Clearly, the disciples under the sect were very curious about the outcome between the last generation's top Direct Disciple and the current Qingqiu Fox Emperor.

The news that the Saint Heir was coming to the Immortal Square on the peak had long been spread among the disciples via the Communication Compass, so as soon as Lu Jin'an arrived, they instinctively made way for him.

Amidst the greetings from a group of junior brothers and sisters, a crisp and lively voice stood out —

"Young Master Lu～"

On the platform in the center of the square, Qiu Qingtang, holding an umbrella with one hand, waved and smiled charmingly at Lu Jin'an.

Amidst the snowflakes, her smile appeared exceptionally pure and bright.

On the previously lively mountaintop, there was a sudden silence, leaving only the sound of wind and snow.

Slowing his steps, Lu Jin'an stood before a dragon-carved stone pillar, observing Qiu Qingtang on stage, draped in a light green robe and a yellow skirt, with pink hair gently flowing, exuding elegance and innocence.

In the world of elegant fragrance, the plum blossoms reveal their delicate beauty.

Clearly a flirtatious fox, yet her pure appearance is truly deceiving.

But there's no denying that this flirtatious fox is indeed beautiful.

Moreover, before he came, she must have been projecting an imposing aura befitting the Fox Emperor.

Otherwise, why would a single smile at him cause such instant silence, and why would the eyes of his junior brothers and sisters be filled with particular ambiguity?

Lu Jin'an slightly nodded in acknowledgment, saying nothing further.

Fourth Junior Sister Guan Wen pulled over a close friend, laughing softly: "Do you think that in a few days, there will be novels about the love affair between the Saint Heir and Qiu Qingtang?

The Saint Heir sure lives up to his name, not even letting demons off the hook. Heh heh, I wonder if Saintess Zhu will rush over with her sword if she finds out?"

"Qingmiao Palace's martial arts contest will begin in a few days, and Saintess Zhu will come, but it's not now."

"Martial arts contest?" Lu Jin'an turned to look: "What martial arts contest?"

Jiang Wuya replied: "The martial arts contest spearheaded by Qingmiao Palace, involving the Human Clan's Northern Territory, Eastern Realm, and other races like the Spirit Clan, Sky Wing Clan. It not only determines superiority but also life and death, and the prizes…"

As he spoke, his voice halted, then he changed his wording: "Rather than prizes, it's more like stakes. Palace Master Xiao's Lifebound Immortal Sword 'Still Water Runs Deep,' as well as territories from the Qingmiao Domain and some foreign races, will change ownership after the martial arts contest."

"Everyone guesses this is a show of strength for Palace Master Xiao after entering the Divine Concealment stage."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an continued to ask: "Will Palace Master Xiao also be fighting?"

"Yes." Jiang Wuya nodded: "With Palace Master Xiao leading, a total of seven Immortals will be fighting. As a result, many Immortals who have been in seclusion for years have rushed to the Northern Border.

However, apart from Palace Master Xiao, the remaining six are yet to be confirmed. Presumably, they are currently sparring with each other to determine the battle spots."

Lu Jin'an gently nodded. This already counted as a significant war. If one side's combat strength suffered too much loss, how could the other side let slip the chance to attack?

"Lin Yuan Sword Sect and East Slope Confucian Academy are nearby; they should have sent Immortals over, right?"

"It's said that Sect Master Qi personally went."

Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in Lu Jin'an's eyes. The Five Sects and Seven Schools each have their main territories, and there are competitive relations among them. Even if Lin Yuan Sword Sect's Sword Immortal Sect Master Qi Huizu were to go to the martial arts contest led by Qingmiao Palace, it wouldn't be so soon.

Since Qingmiao Palace dares to lead the organization, it shows they have the confidence and assurance. If Lin Yuan Sword Sect steals the spotlight, the winner will not be Qingmiao Palace.
