Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 347 - 6: Ye Xiyue’s Simp

This man was dressed in a Purple Sun Brocade Robe, with handsome features and a tall and lean physique, exuding an air of elegance and charm.

His attire was meticulously crafted, with his hairpin not being the usual wooden hairpin used by male cultivators, but rather an alluring jade hairpin.

There were five or six conspicuous jade pendants hanging from his waist belt, which would undoubtedly sway mesmerizingly if he were to leap and spin around.

The man’s mouth called out Xiyue, and his gaze towards Ye Xiyue was intensely fiery, as if she was the only one in his world.

Behind him followed several disciples from the Zhenyang Sect, seemingly accustomed to this scene and leaving space for the two ahead.

The man approached Ye Xiyue, looking at her tenderly: "Xiyue, you’ve lost so much weight."

Liu Su on the side nearly vomited.

Wei Wan had just said the same thing, but it felt genuine and caring within the context of fellow disciples, whereas the same words from this man’s mouth seemed strange.

The issue wasn’t a lack of concern; his concern was overly intense, crossing the boundaries among fellow disciples, with a tone laced with hints of anxiousness and humility, quite mismatched with his charming exterior.

Wasn’t he just this little brat’s lapdog?

Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan exchanged glances, their expressions also tinged with peculiarity, while Yun Wu looked intrigued, almost ready to pull up a stool and enjoy the show.

"Senior Brother Chun."

Faced with the man’s intense fervor and care, Jian Yue responded indifferently.

"Xiyue, we’ve been senior brother and junior sister for many years, there’s no need for such formality; call me Ningzhi."

The man smiled warmly, speaking softly to Ye Xiyue, his gaze so passionate it could melt ancient ice.

Yet Jian Yue remained unmoved, not even bothering to reply.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward momentarily.

"Son-in-law, this Chun Ningzhi is the senior brother of Forgetful Peak, known for being quite formidable; who would’ve thought he’d turn out to be Ye Xiyue’s lapdog, ha ha, things just got interesting."

Liu Su’s voice rang in Qin Gengyun’s ear, sounding gleefully munching on gossip, prompting Qin Gengyun to shoot her a glare, while Liu Su stuck out her tongue, pretending to be demure.

"Senior Sister, with demonic beasts wreaking havoc, the sect has assigned Senior Brother Chun Ningzhi to lead us in exterminating them. Some junior disciples have just become steward disciples, let me introduce them to you."

Wei Wan intervened smoothly, pointing to the group of Zhenyang Sect disciples behind and introducing them to Jian Yue:

"This is Junior Brother Liu Tie from Divinity Transformation Peak, and this is Junior Brother Wang Zhen from Heaven-Reaching Peak..."

Wei Wan’s voice was gentle and crisp, invisibly smoothing over the awkwardness, as the steward disciples from various peaks stepped forward to pay respects to Ye Xiyue.

After all, Ye Xiyue’s current status was no longer that of a commanding disciple, but as the Xiyue Peak Master and an elder of Zhenyang Sect.

Everyone treated her with utmost respect, eyes filled with admiration and reverence, while Jian Yue remained aloof and responded mildly, with it feeling natural to all present.

The peerlessly cool Fairy Xiyue was expected to be like this.

"This is Junior Sister Lin Qingchou from Danxia Peak; Senior Sister, you must have met her, Master Uncle Tantai often praises her."

The last person to be introduced was a female cultivator with delicate features, who would stand out anywhere else, yet in Ye Xiyue’s presence, could only seem dim by comparison.

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

Lin Qingchou approached respectfully with a salute, Jian Yue nodded slightly in response. Observing Chun Ningzhi closely beside Jian Yue, Lin Qingchou bit her lip and finally couldn’t refrain:

"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Chun is quite concerned about you, and to help heal your injuries, he made a special trip to Glacier Valley, where he managed to find a piece of Spirit Ice Jade."

Lin Qingchou’s voice was lively, her gaze towards Chun Ningzhi filled with compassion, dissatisfied with how Chun Ningzhi was treated by Ye Xiyue.

Chun Ningzhi paused, then turned to Lin Qingchou: "Junior Sister Lin, the matters between Xiyue and me don’t require outside intervention."

His tone to Lin Qingchou wasn’t as gentle, instead carrying a hint of sternness.

"Senior Brother Chun..."

Lin Qingchou stood frozen, staring at Chun Ningzhi, who in turn gazed warmly at Ye Xiyue:

"Xiyue, the demonic beasts in Yunling Mountain have been slain by us. Tomorrow we shall return to the sect; will you accompany us?"

Jian Yue’s expression remained frosty, glancing sideways at Qin Gengyun, being that she was now beholden to her master for her decisions.

Only now did Chun Ningzhi notice the people accompanying his Junior Sister Xiyue, promptly inquiring:

"Xiyue, who are these people..."

Jian Yue replied indifferently: "They are Loose Cultivators I encountered in Northern Wilderness, possessing some aptitude, so I’m bringing them into the sect for cultivation."

Chun Ningzhi nodded: "I see, Xiyue, your dedication to the sect is commendable."

Ye Xiyue, now an elder of Zhenyang Sect, naturally had the authority to bring Inner Sect disciples into the mountain, raising no doubts among others.

Chun Ningzhi appraised Qin Gengyun’s group, his gaze pausing on Mo Xiaolan, subtle changes marring his countenance, as he asked:

"This fellow cultivator appears quite promising; I imagine your talent must be exceptional?"

Mo Xiaolan was taken aback, puzzled why Chun Ningzhi specifically drew attention to her.

Jian Yue replied: "He’s called Lan Yin, his aptitude is reasonable, I plan to bring her to Xiyue Peak."

This had been planned beforehand with Qin Gengyun’s group, as Xiyue Peak’s cultivation technique suited female cultivators, making it more appropriate for Mo Xiaolan.

However, Mo Xiaolan was currently dressed as a man and, quite handsomely at that. Upon hearing Ye Xiyue intended to bring this attractive pretty-boy back to Xiyue Peak, Chun Ningzhi’s expression grew uglier.

"Xiyue, I believe the cultivation technique of Forgetful Peak is better suited to this fellow cultivator, why don’t I bring him to Forgetful Peak?"

Jian Yue cast him a cold look: "Senior Brother Chun, where my people go is for me to decide."

The phrase "my people" made Chun Ningzhi’s face darken, with Wei Wan promptly interjecting:

"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Chun, everyone has been battling the demonic beasts for quite a while and must be tired, would it not be wiser to return to the inn to rest?"

"Agreed." Jian Yue nodded, turning to lead Qin Gengyun and the others towards Yunling Town.

After walking a good distance, Liu Su glanced back to see Chun Ningzhi still glaring sullenly at Mo Xiaolan, causing her to chuckle:

"That’s it, Xiaolan, Chun Ningzhi sees you as a rival in love, hey little brat, are you doing this on purpose?"

Jian Yue’s expression remained unchanged, while her voice turned coquettishly engaging:

"I’m the master’s, how could I let outsiders eye me? The Third Madam is welcome to shield the slave for the master, hee hee hee."

"This brat!" Liu Su glared at Jian Yue.

Qin Gengyun frowned: "Chun Ningzhi is the senior brother of Forgetful Peak; what if he targets Xiaolan in the future?"

Jian Yue maintained a steady stride, her frosty countenance facing away from the crowd of disciples, yet her eyes towards Qin Gengyun were infinitely bewitching:

"Master needn’t worry, the slave will protect the Third Madam, master treats the Third Madam so well, could you spare some of that care for the slave too?"
