Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was looking at Duan Ling Tian, her eyes gleamed with killing intent.

‘No!’ Zhou Shu Qiu exclaimed inwardly, and her face paled. It was obvious to her that the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had detected something amiss through Murong Bing’s expression when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect must have heard about him from the elder she sent to kill him. Perhaps, when the sect leader heard the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was called Duan Ling Tian, she did not make the connection that it was the same man who had taken Murong Bing’s virginity. However, now that the sect leader had seen Murong Bing’s expression as she gazed at Duan Ling Tian, there was no doubt the sect leader had made the connection with her intelligence.

Worried that the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect would kill Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed, Zhou Shu Qiu quickly called out through Voice Transmission, “Junior Aunt Nangong!” After all, she knew if Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, made a move to kill Duan Ling Tian, there was nothing He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, could do since Nangong Xiu was a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke. Although Nangong Xiu was slightly weaker than Li An, the Old Ancestor of Blissful Sect, who was also a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, she was still stronger than He Shan.

Zhou Shu Qiu’s master and Murong Bing’s master, Wang Dan Feng, had a good relationship and would refer to each other as sisters. They had wandered the outside world in their early years together. For this reason, Zhou Shu Qiu addressed Nangong Xiu as junior aunt. Since Wang Dan Feng was slightly older than Nangong Xiu, Murong Bing would address Wang Dan Feng as junior aunt as well.

“Hm?” Nangong Xiu was successfully distracted by Zhou Shu Qiu’s Voice Transmission. When she looked at Zhou Shu Qiu, the killing intent flashing in her eyes had disappeared. She smiled and said, “Little Shu Qiu, you’re here as well!”

“Junior Aunt Nangong, I… I assume you’re… y-you’re aware that Master Duan from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is B-bing’er’s.. m-man?” Zhou Shu Qiu asked tentatively through Voice Transmission.

“You’re aware of Bing’er’s matter as well?” Nangong Xiu narrowed her eyes that were flashing with killing intent again and bluntly said, “You’re right! It doesn’t matter if he’s a member of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, I’ll kill him today!”

Upon noticing this, Zhou Shu Qiu hastily said through Voice Transmission, “Junior Aunt Nangong, if you don’t want disaster to fall on the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, it’s better to leave him alone!”

“What do you mean?” Nangong Xiu looked at Zhou Shu Qiu apprehensively. “Little Shu Qiu, are you trying to scare your junior aunt in order to protect him?”

“Junior Aunt Nangong, I might lie to you, but my senior sister definitely won’t lie to you. You can verify my words with her later. You can even verify it with the people from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect” Zhou Shu Qiu smiled wryly.

Zhou Shu Qiu’s senior sister was Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.

Then, Zhou Shu Qiu quickly recounted what happened earlier with the people from Blissful Sect and Duan Ling Tian’s background.

‘Li An actually held back?’ The killing intent in Nangong Xiu’s eyes vanished and was replaced with a hint of fear after she heard Zhou Shu Qiu’s words. She knew Li An’s character very well. Unless he really believed there was a high chance Duan Ling Tian was from a powerful clan in the central area, Li An definitely would not have held back! When she calmed down slightly, she asked through Voice Transmission again, “How did he prove his identity and background?”

“He did no such thing,” Zhou Shu Qiu replied.

Nangong Xiu frowned. “He didn’t have evidence to prove his identity? Based on what I know about Li Ann, he definitely wouldn’t hold back unless he was presented with irrefutable evidence.”

“In fact, there’s no need for him to present evidence to prove his identity. After all, it’s impossible for someone like him who’s highly skilled in alchemy and also possesses a high cultivation base to come from an ordinary background,” Zhou Shu Qiu replied.

“High cultivation bases? I heard about his skills in alchemy. He’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill even though he hasn’t even reached the age of 100. It would be amazing enough even if he’s just a Great Overarching Golden Celestial,” Nangong Xiu said.

“Earlier, he revealed his cultivation base to us. Apart from being a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill, he’s also a profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!” Zhou Shu Qiu replied.

“Pro… Profound Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial?!” Nangong Xiu widened her eyes in shock. She tried to extend her Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base.

“Junior Aunt Junior Aunt, he has a way to conceal his cultivation base. We were only able to confirm his cultivation base because he intentionally let us sense his soul aura,” Zhou Shu Qiu quickly said as though she already knew beforehand that Nangong Xiu would try to investigate Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base.

…

While Zhou Shu Qiu was conversing with Nangong Xiu through Voice Transmission, Murong Bing who had been staring at Duan Ling Tian returned to her senses. She quickly pulled Lyu Luo along to catch up with the people from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. She discovered her sect leader and her aunt, Nangong Xiu, had stopped moving and was looking at Zhou Shu Qiu, her best friend. She frowned, worried. It was clear they were both communicating through Voice Transmission about Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally greeted Murong Bing through Voice Transmission. “It’s been a long time since we last met.”

However, Murong Bing did not respond to Duan Ling Tian until she saw him taking two strides in her direction. Her face, hidden under the veil, turned pale immediately. She hastily warned him through Voice Transmission. “Don’t come over!”

Murong Bing’s sudden warning caused Duan Ling Tian to instinctively stop in his tracks. He smiled and said through Voice Transmission, “You’re willing to speak to me now?”

“If you don’t want to die, don’t come over…” Murong Bing said coldly, “Moreover, what happened previously in the Little World left behind by the Celestial King from the Blissful Celestial Sect was purely an accident. I’ve thrown it out of my mind. Don’t have any ideas of being with me. I know you’re the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, but I still don’t like you. It’s better for you to give up. I’d rather die than to become your woman!” Her gaze was indifferent when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was as though she was looking at a stranger.

Duan Ling Tian trembled for a moment upon listening to her words, he felt his heart ache. He inhaled deeply as he stared at Murong Bing who wore a determined and cold expression on her face. his heart ache. “I don’t care if you like me or not. You can’t change the fact that you’re my woman. You might not like me now, but I’m certain you’ll like me in the future. In any case, I’m going to bring you away from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and the Six Southeastern Regions.”

Duan Ling Tian’s words to the people from the Blissful Sect were not complete lies. He had decided to bring Murong Bing away from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and borderlands and head to the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory for Murong Bing’s safety after the end of the Alchemy Conference. After all, who knew when Murong Bing’s master would find out about the fact that Murong Bing had lost her virginity? At that time, her master would surely injure, if not kill, her. Therefore, he was determined to bring Murong Bing away as soon as he could. If it were not for her, he would have stayed a little longer in the Six Southeastern Regions until he had another breakthrough. Alas, he could not afford to stay any longer since Murong Bing’s situation was like a ticking time bomb.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Murong Bing’s seductive body trembled slightly. She had to admit she was moved by his words. She knew Duan Ling Tian wanted to bring her away since Zhou Shu Qiu had told Duan Ling Tian about her situation. However, due to her feelings for him, she was extremely reluctant to become a burden to him. It would suffice for her to suffer alone. She took a deep breath to suppress her emotions before she coldly said, “I won’t leave. The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is my home… Even if I die, I’ll die in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!”

Murong Bing’s expression changed when she saw Duan Ling Tian try to take another step forward. “Don’t come over! If you dare to take another step forward, I’ll die in front of you right now!” Her tone was resolute, there was no doubting that she meant what she said.

Duan Ling Tian knew Murong Bing was not joking when he heard how resolute her tone was. He stopped moving immediately and sent a Voice Transmission Murong Bing to placate her, “I won’t go over… Don’t… Don’t do anything reckless!”

“Hm?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian who had been distracted by Murong Bing finally discovered the killing intent from Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.

‘Is it possible that Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, knows that I’m the one who took Murong Bing’s virginity?” Duan Ling Tian had learned the name of the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect from He Shan. Based on Nangong Xiu’s murderous gaze, it was clear to him that Nangong Xiu knew something.
