Chapter 119: I Think I Like Him
Chapter 119: I Think I Like Him
Such a shameless demand was something he had never heard before.
But he didn’t dare to make a move.
That Blue Light was just too bizarre!
At the moment it suddenly appeared earlier, those with lower cultivation might not have sensed anything, but for the true powerhouses among them, all had felt a wave of intense danger washing over them!
The feeling was like a small animal facing a giant dragon!
They simply did not dare to move!
Including Lu Qingming!
No one dared to make a move!
So it was very awkward.
The person didn’t even show themself, using a young fellow like Ling Yi’s mouth, ridiculing everyone present in a tone full of contempt.
Song Guozi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Even if Senior doesn’t appear today, sooner or later you must give an explanation. After all, your disciple cannot escape, and the Qin State… is still there!”
Ling Yi glanced at him and suddenly felt this little old man, whose daoist title made people want to hit it with a hammer, was rather cute.
Much cuter than someone like Lu Qingming.
Didn’t he see that Lu Qingming was currently silent over there, not saying a word, his eyes flickering?
He was scared!
Only someone from a top-tier major Sect like Song Guozi would still think of forcing someone to appear this way.
“My old man said he can’t be bothered to lower himself to your level. He told you all to get lost quickly, stop lingering here endlessly. Also, Grand State Preceptor Lu… and you, the account between us, we’ll settle slowly. You better not die. I said before you die, I’ll treat you to a seafood feast from our Great Qin’s Eastern Sea City!”
Ling Yi said this, picking up the napkin and wiping his hands hard again.
It was still very fishy.
He glanced at the girls beside him. “Who has a wet wipe?”
“…”
To have forcefully turned such a situation into what it was now, everyone was completely speechless.
The Enchantress roared in Ling Yi’s mind, “You’re the old man! You jerk, who are you calling an old man?”
Ling Yi replied, “Then what should I say? Say Zhou Tang said it?”
The Enchantress immediately quieted down and made no more sound.
Although he had never heard this name from anyone, Ling Yi knew that these two words, in the Cultivation World… even over there at the lofty Star Gate, must hold extraordinary significance.
One day, he would learn her story.
Luo Xue took a packet of wet wipes from her bag and handed it to Ling Yi.
His own girlfriend was still the best.
Ling Yi leisurely opened it and even sniffed it.
It smelled nice.
It felt pretty good.
After wiping, it finally wasn’t fishy anymore.
Satisfied, Ling Yi threw the tissue on the table and looked at Luo Xue and Hu Xiaoxian. “Are you full?”
Luo Xue pressed her lips together. After all, she hadn’t been bold enough to eat heartily in this atmosphere in front of everyone.
The little fox spirit happily nodded. “Yeah, yeah, I’m full.”
“If you’re full, let’s go.” Ling Yi stood up and looked at Diwu Qianqian again. “Let’s go, go on a date.”
Diwu Qianqian: “…”
Luo Xue shot Ling Yi a glare, but a smile played on her face.
Ling Yi finally looked toward Lu Qingming’s side. “Thank you for the generous hospitality, Grand State Preceptor Lu. Again, the same words: live well and wait for me to come take your dog head!”
With that, he walked directly outside.
The seven people from the Carefree Sect had originally been blocking the way. Seeing Ling Yi walk over, about to bump into them, they ultimately made way.
“Thanks.” Ling Yi gave them a friendly nod and said, “If you cultivate, cultivate properly. What business do you have meddling in mortal, worldly affairs? You might end up losing your life, Perish Both Body and Dao. Is it worth it?”
Having said that, he strode away!
The banquet hall fell into dead silence!
Those members of the various diplomatic missions who hadn’t touched their chopsticks much had eaten enough of this ‘melon’ to be stuffed!
But after Ling Yi left, this group of people also felt full of worry.
The Qin State… how did it produce such a monster?
Walking out the door, Ling Yi received a message from an unfamiliar number—
“The Private Jet of the diplomatic mission has already left the country. Ling Yi, remember, I helped you today too! One day, you must help me! Otherwise, I’ll tell the whole world I’m your woman, pregnant with your child!”
Damn.
Ling Yi directly deleted the message.
He wouldn’t even consider being a cloud husband, and she still wanted him to be a cloud dad?
Get lost!
“Where… shall we go next?” Luo Xue asked with a smile.
“We’ll stay here for a few days first, then travel around Great Chu, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Chu State!” Ling Yi said with a smile.
Luo Xue smiled very happily.
For her at this moment, the whole world was filled with sunshine!
Just earlier, she had sent a message to her mom, Yang Xiu—Don’t worry, it’s all over now.
She believed that after today, Ling Yi’s name would resound throughout the entire Cultivation World!
Standing behind him was an extremely protective senior whose cultivation was at least at the Primordial Spirit Realm. Who would dare to provoke him lightly?
The people from the Carefree Sect didn’t dare, and the Qingshan Sect dared even less!
The key point was that so far, no one had seen the true face of that Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse.
There was only the bizarre Blue Light that had appeared twice.
State Preceptor’s Mansion.
Diwu Qianqian sat bored on a bench by the lake. Late at night, quiet and still, a cold breeze blew gently. The young girl pouted, feeling a bit unhappy.
Ling Yi said he was leaving just like that, and before leaving, he even teased her about going on a date…
Clearly, he knew what Dao she cultivated and was just playing with her!
The main issue was that her senior brothers and sisters who came out from the Sect also forbade her from getting close to Ling Yi again.
Cultivating the Dao of Supreme Detachment, love was a necessary trial, but the target she chose was too easy to make her completely fall!
So, rather than let her Dao fail, they absolutely could not let her be ruined by Ling Yi.
At this moment, Song Guozi and the other six were in a secret discussion with Lu Qingming.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy.
No one who experienced something like tonight’s events could feel happy.
He initially thought that by mentioning the Sect, he could force the other party to show themselves and then use the rules of the Cultivation World to make them back off obediently.
But he never expected that the other party simply did not care about their Carefree Sect!
The Qingshan Sect, which was only one level below the Carefree Sect, suffered even more severe losses right in front of that person—losing face and losing lives.
This time, it really felt like kicking an iron plate.
It hurt.
And it was infuriating.
“The only good news now should be that the other party has little desire to get involved in conflicts between nations,” Lu Qingming said solemnly. “But it’s hard to say for sure. Ling Yi is just like his dead father—the blood of Great Qin flows in his veins. So, if that person really steps in…”
Song Guozi said gravely, “Junior Brother, don’t worry. If he truly steps in, the Carefree Sect will not stand by idly. Now that the Star Gate is weakening, the world’s situation is bound to change. Our Carefree Sect has the determination, and also the confidence, to rise in this wave of great change.”
Lu Qingming breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It’s just that Chu Yanyu’s side…”
Song Guozi said calmly, “Junior Brother, are you perhaps afraid of a mere woman?”
Lu Qingming shook his head. “She’s nothing, but she represents the will of the Aged Monarch. Honestly, I don’t want to completely wipe out the Chu royal clan. After all, the Aged Monarch did show me kindness by recognizing my talent.”
Song Guozi smiled. “Even the greatest kindness cannot compare to achieving the Dao and ascending. Many people think Junior Brother’s path is cunning, but they don’t know that your Great Dao of Grand Fortune is even greater. To complete the Dao, you must become the Son of Heaven. Holding onto past sentiments… will not help you achieve the Dao.”
Lu Qingming sighed softly. “Forget it. I originally wanted to leave them with some dignity and even fostered a prince to preserve a branch of the Chu family line. But now, I can only resort to ruthless measures.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Song Guozi. “Senior Brother, to avoid any complications, I will have to trouble a few of you with this matter…”
Song Guozi nodded and said calmly, “Leave it to us. The Sect behind the Chu family line has long been in decline for many years.”
Another elder from the Carefree Sect nearby remarked, “After all, not everyone can be like that Ling Yi.”
The woman who had once intimidated Ling Yi said with a bitter smile, “His Divine Ability leaves no trace. It was never seen before the Beast Tide in Spring City, and even his origins are untraceable… It seems I’ll have to ask the Ancestor about it later.”
Song Guozi hummed in agreement, then turned to Lu Qingming and said, “We came out this time for another matter as well. Several kinds of Great Medicinal Herbs in the Herb Garden have ripened…”
Lu Qingming smiled slightly. “I’ve already prepared them for all of you, Senior Brothers and Sisters! Tomorrow morning, we’ll first go to the Herb Garden, and then deal with the Chu royal family!”
Song Guozi revealed a smile. “Good!”
When everyone finished discussing and came out, they saw Diwu Qianqian still sitting on a bench by the lake, lost in thought.
The woman who had intimidated Ling Yi glanced at Song Guozi and the others, then whispered, “I’ll go talk with Junior Sister.”
The group nodded.
Lu Qingming spoke with a somewhat heavy expression, “That Ling Yi is young and handsome, extremely talented, and skilled with sweet words. It’s only been a day, but I can see that Junior Sister is already starting to… fall for him.”
A flash of anger appeared in the woman’s eyes. “Relying on someone backing him to act so arrogantly is truly excessive! If he dares to ruin Junior Sister’s cultivation, the Ancestor and the Sect Leader will not spare him! Even if he has the support of a Primordial Spirit, he won’t escape death!”
Lu Qingming said with a bitter laugh, “Would the Sect Leader and the Ancestor… easily intervene?”
Song Guozi glanced at him with surprise and couldn’t help but remind him, “Junior Brother’s Dao Heart…”
Lu Qingming was startled. He took a deep breath and clasped his hands in a serious salute to Song Guozi. “Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother!”
Without realizing it, he had already begun to feel wary of that young man!
And it didn’t even have much to do with the person behind Ling Yi!
After all, he wasn’t without strong backing himself.
But he was hoping for the Sect Leader and Ancestor to personally step in and kill Ling Yi.
This clearly reflected the fear growing in his heart.
Song Guozi nodded and said gravely, “The path of cultivation is filled with countless hardships and obstacles. To reach the peak, you must press forward with relentless momentum. Once that drive falters…”
Lu Qingming said solemnly, “I understand.”
Song Guozi nodded and led the others away, while the woman headed toward the lake.
Lu Qingming watched as they left, his eyes uncertain.
What was originally a banquet of division where victory seemed assured ended up far from perfect.
Even after being reminded by Song Guozi, the name Ling Yi still lingered in his mind, refusing to fade.
It had already become a thorn in his side.
And after last night’s events, it was nearly impossible to get the members of those foreign Diplomatic Missions to take action against Ling Yi anymore.
A disciple from the Qingshan Sect, also in the Golden Body Realm, had been struck in the face with a crab shell and had his thigh bone crushed by a single kick… With such terrifying strength, who would dare provoke him unless they were a Dao Enlightenment Master?
“I still need to find a way to eliminate him,” Lu Qingming muttered to himself.
By the lake.
As soon as the woman approached Diwu Qianqian, Diwu Qianqian lifted her tearful eyes. “Senior Sister Song Ying, I think… I think I might have fallen for him!”
