Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 698 - 304: The Blushing Fox_2

The sect's destiny stolen in the darkness is not something easily reclaimed.

Moreover, although Qingmiao Palace cultivates the Forget Love Path, the "Supreme Forget Love Immortal Technique" primarily includes Sword Dao, and there are not a few female disciples under its sect who cultivate the sword.

Therefore, having their limelight stolen might also affect the number of disciples in the future.

Thus, when a sect from the Human Clan voluntarily leads a martial gathering with an external tribe, other sects will not overshadow them, unless they see the situation as unfavorable and insert themselves.

So if Sect Master Qi goes over before the martial gathering even begins, it would feel like they are overshadowing the host.

You must know, it's not like Qingmiao Palace lacks strong individuals in the late stage of Divine Concealment.

"Saint Heir." Zhao Shize sidled over and interrupted, "Qingmiao Palace didn't invite Lin Yuan Sword Sect either. Don't you think Sect Master Qi is putting Qingmiao Palace in a tough spot? Even if Qingmiao Palace wins, won't people think it's because Sect Master Qi secretly helped?"

Just like us at Wandao Sect, sending two elders over to watch is enough. Why is Sect Master Qi going?"

"Don't speak frivolously." Jiang Wuya reminded softly.

Zhao Shize shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't Junior Master Ji frown upon hearing this news too? Obviously, he has his concerns."

"What about the Sect Master?" Lu Jin'an pondered and asked, "Did he say anything?"

"The Sect Master isn't here." Jiang Wuya said, "He went to the Southern Great Realm. Previously, the Sect Master threw many demons to the Demon Clan over there, and now the Demon Clan somehow started sending them back, so the Sect Master went again."

Ji Wenchen also approached, sighing, "It's only been a few days, but it suddenly feels like a storm is brewing, doesn't it?"

He paused, looked at Lu Jin'an and smiled, "Saint Heir, you've been staying in the Alchemy Hall and the Array Hall, you must feel this more acutely, right?"

Lu Jin'an did feel this way, he looked at Qiu Qingtang on the field putting away her umbrella, and continued to ask, "Did the Sect Master go alone?"

"He brought Elder Cao and Elder Ximen."

Elder Cao is Wandao Sect's 'Sweeping Monk', while Elder Ximen is the first weapon craftsman of the Human Clan, having established the Artifact Hall single-handedly.

These two's positions in Wandao Sect might not seem high, yet they are authentically Divine Hidden Great Powers.

"Elder Cao and Elder Ximen have always been stationed at the sect, rarely going out. I wonder why the Sect Master brought them this time. Saint Heir, what do you think?"

Lu Jin'an shook his head and was about to speak when he noticed an umbrella getting closer in his line of sight.

He raised his hand to catch it as Qiu Qingtang's voice followed, "Young Master Lu, could you keep this for me?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lu Jin'an looked at this flirtatious fox with speechlessness; acting first and reporting later, right?

Putting down his right hand, Lu Jin'an glanced at Zhao Shize, directly silencing him when he tried to gossip.

Zhao Shize cleared his throat lightly, wondering when the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu took an interest in the Saint Heir?

He always heard Qiu Qingtang calling the Saint Heir 'Young Master', but never 'Saint Heir'.

Also, does Senior Mu know about this? Does Saintess Zhu know?

Thinking this, he heard Guan Wen nearby whisper, "The Saint Heir is truly remarkable, managing both cultivation and marriage..."

Zhao Shize intended to approach and gossip together, but then he saw another figure appear on the field.

His attention was immediately drawn away; as good as gossip is, it certainly can't compare to the spectacle of a cultivator's duel.

Even the attention of Guan Wen and others was drawn away.

"Elder Bai is now an elder at Qiantian Peak, previously managing to suppress the Qingqiu Fox Emperor from the Hua family by half a margin..." Jiang Wuya glanced at Lu Jin'an, "Qiu Qingtang in recent days has defeated several elders and deacons in the Nine Tribulations. Saint Heir, who do you think is stronger?"

Lu Jin'an looked at the field at Qiu Qingtang, who had collected her smile, slightly lost in thought.

Earlier, Qiu Qingtang had openly mentioned that she was the Qingqiu Fox Emperor, but a crownless one, because she disliked the trouble of challenges.

But regardless of being crownless, it indicated that she had secretly defeated the other Demon Emperors of Qingqiu.

It was undoubtedly an extraordinary feat, but he had always overlooked this point... because this flirtatious fox kept opening and closing her mouth about being seductive.

Now, as he saw the demonic energy surging around her, the discord between 'flirtatious fox' and 'Qingqiu Fox Emperor' finally vanished.

Demonic energy converged behind her into a six-tailed fox demon, its pink demon eyes looking down, full of oppressive force.

Lu Jin'an then turned to glance at Elder Bai, who was only a generation older than their generation of direct disciples, and yet had always been the first strongest in the sect below immortals.

He already had the answer in his mind but instead, he asked, "What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Jiang Wuya laughed lightly, "Most demon beasts are like wolf packs; the young wolf defeats the old wolf king to truly rise in rank, and Qingqiu is the same.

Although there's not much information on her record, until the beginning of this year, the Qingqiu Fox Emperor from the Hua family hadn't reemerged for two years, which tells everything."

He looked at Elder Bai's serious expression and said without bias, "Even with the Dragon Clan back then, few could overwhelm the Hua Family's Fox Emperor, likely Elder Bai isn't a match either."

He paused and curiously asked, "Are you familiar with Qiu Qingtang's strength?"

"Never fought with her," Lu Jin'an shook his head, "We've only sparred in theory on being seductive, which has no real offensive power."

"She hasn't shown much demon art these days," Jiang Wuya said, "No one has pushed her to her limits."

"Saint Heir," Zhao Shize interjected, "Will you go on the field later?"

"Let's see first."

Lu Jin'an looked into the field but couldn't discern much of Qiu Qingtang's strength because a victor emerged within thirty minutes.

Qiu Qingtang's performance was effortless and gentle.

Lu Jin'an could feel the gazes of many Junior Brothers and Sisters on him, and he hadn't intended to avoid it, as he indeed felt the itch to fight.

Previously, Kong Chan from the Upper Realm gave him a bit of surprise, but after checking her memories, much of it was lost.

After all, Kong Chan herself said that among her Hidden Life Mountain peers, few could withstand her hundred swords.

Few, but not zero.

And Kong Chan referred only to the sword cultivators, not cultivators who didn't practice Sword Dao.

The main thing is... not even as good as Senior Sister.

And now Senior Sister won't spar with him, so finding an opponent is not easy; now there's one right in front of him, might as well have some fun.

Lu Jin'an took a step forward, but only one step.

Because Qiu Qingtang already daintily came before him, clutching the umbrella in his hand but not taking it away.

"Young Master Lu, are you coming to Yun Meng Cliff as a guest today?" Qiu Qingtang raised her head slightly, her smile bewitched by shyness and brilliance between her glances.

"..."

Lu Jin'an opened his mouth, while Jiang Wuya and others beside him knew what to do and began walking down the mountain.

Seeing he didn't speak, Qiu Qingtang's fox ears twitched, and she tiptoed closer to Lu Jin'an's face, her voice lively with a hint of flirtation: "Speaking of which, Young Master Lu, you didn't refuse the umbrella I tossed your way in front of so many people just now, could it be...?"

With her bright pink eyes, her tone was meaningful, giving the impression of a beautiful classmate teasing you.

Lu Jin'an leaned back slightly, pondering what this flirtatious fox's motive really was?

He measured his voice, "You..."

"What about me?" Qiu Qingtang tilted her head and blinked, the earrings on her fox ears jingled as she took another small step forward, eyes filled with curiosity: "Hmm?"

The fragrance was alluring, and Lu Jin'an felt this flirtatious fox was getting a bit arrogant.

He released the grip on the umbrella handle with his right hand, and as Qiu Qingtang subconsciously looked down, he suddenly leaned down and close to her ear, "Why do you think that is, hmm?"

Warm breath brushed past her ear, causing Qiu Qingtang to involuntarily shrug her shoulders, meeting Lu Jin'an's gaze that was seven parts serious and three parts playful, she involuntarily retreated two steps, a faint blush overlaying her pure cheeks.

Qiu Qingtang opened her mouth, but seeing Lu Jin'an advancing another step, the fox tail behind her bristled somewhat: "You, you..."

Before she could finish, she bit her lip gently and immediately dashed past Lu Jin'an's side.

Lu Jin'an clicked his tongue, was this high offense low defense?

He let out a light sigh, a little regretful, feeling a bout would be more satisfying.

Qiu Qingtang, now at the stone stairs, cast a glance back at the exhaling Lu Jin'an, her eyes flashed, slightly annoyed.

This was not the reaction she imagined!

It shouldn't be this way!

Qiu Qingtang couldn't help but stomp her foot, leaving a somewhat deep footprint in the snow, then ran down the stairs.

The returning Xiao Li, in its original form, bewilderedly chased after her.
