I've Been AFK for Ten Million Years-Chapter 1071: Qinglian Jiao’s Thoughts

Qinglian Jiao thought to herself in secret.

Could it be that as her cultivation level increased, she aged as well? Back in the day, she had countless admirers, all of whom were captivated by her charms. But now, Ren Changsheng looked at her with utter indifference.

It seemed she was ordinary and nothing special!

"Oh!"

Ren Changsheng stopped, wanting to leave. He did not want to be too entangled with this woman, as he was well aware that she was the master of the Green Lotus Institute. Getting too involved with her was sure to lead to trouble.

Moreover, judging by Qinglian Jiao’s demeanor.

She definitely had something she needed from him!

"Who sent you to the first forbidden area?"

Suddenly recalling something, Qinglian Jiao asked coldly. Who was it that led Ren Changsheng into the Beast Hunting Land? It was known that due to recent discoveries about changes within the Beast Hunting Land, it had been closed off, and few disciples ventured there.

Who was it that took Ren Changsheng there?

"It was Hu Long!"

Ren Changsheng replied calmly.

Ren Changsheng did not conceal anything. For a formidable figure like Qinglian Jiao, finding out that Hu Long was the one who took him to the Beast Hunting Land was not difficult. Besides, there was no reason to hide it; if Hu Long died, so be it.

"Hu Long?"

Qinglian Jiao raised an eyebrow. She did not have a strong impression of Hu Long, though she did know that he was a descendant of a protector, who had previously asked her to consider Hu Long as a disciple.

But she had refused!

After all, although her cultivation level was not low, she did not have any disciples, as her potential had not yet reached its limit. For Qinglian Jiao, improving her cultivation was the priority.

As for other matters.

She was naturally uninterested!

She did not even actively manage the disciples of the Green Lotus Institute. Otherwise, with her capabilities, training a few disciples at the Sovereign Seventh Level would not be difficult. It could be said that the disciples of the entire Green Lotus Institute were largely left to their own devices.

"Where is Hu Long now?"

Looking at Ren Changsheng, the expression on Qinglian Jiao’s face softened slightly.

Qinglian Jiao was not foolish.

Ren Changsheng had been brought back by Du Sanniang, and Hu Long seemed to have some interest in Du Sanniang. Du Sanniang had mentioned this several times. Qinglian Jiao had previously not paid much mind to it.

But now, reflecting on it.

It must have been due to this incident.

"He is dead!"

Ren Changsheng’s calm voice sounded. He did not hide it in the slightest. Hu Long was indeed killed by him. When Hu Long took him to the Beast Hunting Land, it meant Hu Long would not make it back.

Even with a protector backing him, it made no difference.

"Oh!"

Qinglian Jiao looked at Ren Changsheng with interest. Hu Long’s death was of no consequence. After all, a wayward disciple’s demise was actually beneficial for the Green Lotus Institute.

Previously, out of regard for that protector, she had not acted against Hu Long.

His death this time saved her quite a bit of trouble.

"Hu Long’s father is a protector of our Green Lotus Institute. His cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Sovereign Seventh Level, and he ranks twelfth within our institute. If he learns that you killed his son, he definitely will not let it go!"

Qinglian Jiao’s voice sounded low.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Ren Changsheng, trying to discern something from his gaze, but unfortunately, after hearing this news, Ren Changsheng showed no change at all.

Ren Changsheng’s eyes.

Remained as calm as ever!

"This boy!"

Qinglian Jiao felt a bit dissatisfied. Usually, no one dared to treat her like this; only Ren Changsheng had the audacity. Moreover, she had no way to deal with Ren Changsheng.

"Don’t you want to know the truth about the first forbidden area?"

Taking a deep breath, Qinglian Jiao suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"The first forbidden area?"

Ren Changsheng’s eyes lit up. The terrifying roar could not come from an ordinary person. There must be an existence beyond a Sovereign on that peak, though Ren Changsheng was unsure if it was a controller.

If not a controller.

That roar could never be produced by a mere Sovereign. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

But if it were a controller.

Then why would the guardian of Qingqiu allow such a terrifying existence to reside within the Qingqiu World? Why would the Beast Hunting Land be trapped at the center of Qingqiu as if it were being reared?

"This boy has finally taken an interest!"

Qinglian Jiao’s face displayed a breathtaking smile, and even Ren Changsheng paused slightly at her smile. Indeed, Qinglian Jiao was an extraordinary beauty, unmatched by appearance.

Of all the women Ren Changsheng had encountered.

Few could compare to Qinglian Jiao.

"Who was the one that made the roar?"

Ren Changsheng asked in a deep voice.

"That..."

A bit of embarrassment appeared in Qinglian Jiao’s eyes. Who made the roar? She did not know either. She had heard some things about the Beast Hunting Land from the controllers, but to claim full understanding was impossible.

Moreover, that forbidden area.

She dared not approach it!

"I don’t know!"

Qinglian Jiao said softly.

"Oh!"

Ren Changsheng looked at Qinglian Jiao. She didn’t know? What did this mean? Why bring up the first forbidden area then? Did Qinglian Jiao not understand her importance? Wasn’t this nonsense?

"You brat..."

Qinglian Jiao, looking at Ren Changsheng’s expression, felt as if she might explode. She realized all the patience she had cultivated over the years almost vanished in an instant.

"If there’s something, just say it!"

At that moment, Ren Changsheng’s low voice suddenly rang out.

Qinglian Jiao kept him, and Ren Changsheng already sensed that this woman had something to discuss. After all, Qinglian Jiao had given him the rune for controlling the forbidden area. In that forbidden area,

his cultivation and physique had improved significantly.

Especially the improvement of the Controller’s physique, which was a big leap forward.

It directly indicated to Ren Changsheng.

That he needed to reach the level of a Controller, where physique was crucial. Perhaps now, for someone at the Sovereign realm like him, improving cultivation and physique directly was important, but enhancing the Controller’s physique was undoubtedly of the greatest benefit.

"Is that so?"

Qinglian Jiao was momentarily stunned and then blushed slightly.

Approaching Ren Changsheng.

Of course, it was about the matter of the Controller’s Gate.

But the Ren Changsheng before her was no ordinary person. Even her first apprentice wanted to accept Ren Changsheng but was rejected. Other disciples of the Green Lotus Institute naturally would not dare defy her.

But Ren Changsheng was an exception!

In her heart, she was not confident about getting Ren Changsheng to obediently participate in the matter of the Controller’s Gate. Furthermore, Qinglian Jiao knew very well that if Ren Changsheng refused, even she might not be able to compel him to go.
