"Chen..."
Ling Ningzhi looked at the backs of the two, her lips moved, but she ultimately said nothing, standing alone at her spot.
Ji Hongxiu saw this, sighed silently, and said, "Qingxuan, let's go too."
"Mm." Ling Ningzhi lowered her head and replied softly.
After the few left, the air returned to silence. Huo Wuya's expression turned cold, "That's enough, how long do you intend to pretend?"
Crash—
Debris fell, and Zi Wenzhong emerged from the pit covered in dust, staggeringly flying to Qiyun Peak, speaking in a dry voice, "Has Daoist Venerable left? This woman really hits hard, almost slapped this old man to death..."
"Father, are you alright?"
Zi Lianji hurried over.
Seeing his miserable appearance, his face changed slightly.
The charred skin was covered in dense cracks, like broken porcelain, with faint traces of blood seeping from the fissures!
Daoist Venerable's slap directly broke his Xuanwu True Body!
Huo Wuya glared at him and said irritably, "You should be thankful Chen Mo is alright, otherwise it wouldn't just be a slap!"
"I wonder what's gotten into you, picking a fight at your age with juniors? And couldn't even win..."
"You may not care, but Martial Saint Sect has its pride!"
"..."
Zi Wenzhong's old face flushed red, knowing he was in the wrong, didn't dare retort, and lowered his head, "Alright, Sect Master, stop mocking me. I just intended to scare Chen Mo, but didn't expect his temper to be even more stubborn than mine. Things escalated from there..."
"As for losing, on one hand, I was careless, but mainly that kid has some skills."
"I limited my cultivation to Third Grade, but couldn't do anything against him."
Although Zi Wenzhong suppressed his realm, his years-honed physique remained unchanged, ultimately still holding an advantage.
Yet even so, Chen Mo did not lag behind and even managed to penetrate his defense, which speaks volumes.
He not only lost but lost utterly!
"Chen Mo managed to step on Wuwan Temple's Buddha's son to take the first place on the Cloud Top Ranking, did you think he was a pushover?"
Huo Wuya said solemnly, "He's the youngest Grandmaster in Great Yuan and practices Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation! How can you provoke someone without even knowing their foundation?"
"Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation? No wonder he's so capable."
"In this respect, he's much stronger than Lianji."
Zi Wenzhong smacked his tongue, then asked in confusion, "By the way, what's the relation between my friction with Chen Mo and Daoist Venerable? Why is she so angry?"
Huo Wuya, unsure, frowned and said, "I'm not clear either, maybe she's interested in Chen Mo's Dao cultivation talent and has thoughts of taking him as a disciple?"
"That's possible." Zi Wenzhong nodded, "The kid's Thunder Technique is indeed noteworthy. It feels different from Tianshu Pavilion, but its power is not less at all."
Huo Wuya stopped pondering, waved his hand, "I originally planned for you and Lianji to explore the Qingzhou Secret Realm together, but now it seems better to forget it, to avoid any more trouble. For now, just stay in the sect to recover."
Saying this, he flashed away and disappeared.
"This mess..."
Zi Wenzhong scratched his head awkwardly.
Noticing the peculiar gazes of surrounding sect disciples, his face suddenly turned serious, reprimanding, "What are you looking at? Did you comprehend today's lesson entirely? Get back to cultivating!"
Everyone, not daring to provoke his wrath, dispersed like birds and beasts, but the shock within their hearts proved hard to calm.
It's known that even Xue Jushan, hailed as "the first under Martial Saint," failed to gain any advantage in front of the Purple Peak Master, yet was defeated so miserably by a young disciple...
After today, Chen Mo's name is sure to resonate throughout the Jianghu!
…
…
"Zhixia, didn't you say you'd take me to Luoxing Peak? Why are we back at the room?" Chen Mo followed Shen Zhixia to the secluded courtyard behind Qionghua Palace, pulled into the bedroom by her, and couldn't help but express some confusion.
Shen Zhixia reversed the latch, leaning against the door, biting her lip, "That was just for others to hear, it's been so long since we've seen each other, who would care about scenery?"
Chen Mo blinked, "So what do you want to do?"
Shen Zhixia puffed her cheeks angrily, embarrassed, "Brother, why are you pretending not to know!"
She stepped forward, stood in front of Chen Mo, raised her slender neck, and pouted her pink lips lightly.
Though she said nothing, her face clearly spelled "kiss me."
