"By the way, Brother Cheng, last time you asked the Second Elder to speak to Qinghan, and it just so happens that Qinghan is here right now..."

[If I could put an end to your thoughts, that would be best; but if I can't, it doesn't matter. I'm determined to have Qinghan!]

Hearing the heartfelt words, Ye Qinghan was deeply moved! Her master had faced fate head-on for her sake!

Cheng Liang certainly wouldn't poach someone's partner in front of so many people; that would make him a laughingstock.

Being rejected to his face by Ye Qinghan once was already humiliating enough! He wasn't about to lose face again!

"It's nothing important. I was just thinking that Brother Su is taking on his first disciple and doesn't have much experience. If Qinghan is lacking anything, given our relationship, it would be my duty to help."

Su Cheng was about to speak when Ye Qinghan pushed him aside...

She wasn't mute; it's just that if her master were around, she wouldn't need to speak.

Now is the time for her to speak, the time for her to express her stance.

"My master treats me like his own son, and I have always had more than enough food, clothing and daily necessities, including rare and precious materials."

"Moreover, since Qinghan has received the master's kindness, he should share poverty and honor with the master. Food and clothing are nothing more than the desire for food and drink, and fine clothes are nothing more than plain cloth to cover the body. Qinghan has never cared about them."

"I appreciate Sect Leader Cheng's kindness. I hope Sect Leader Cheng will take good care of his disciples."

"I met Sister Shangguan a few days ago, and she said that you don't care about her at all and are very indifferent."

The table was full of seasoned veterans. Although Ye Qinghan didn't openly slap Cheng Liang, his words had already caused the family heads around him to start whispering among themselves.

Who doesn't understand? Translated, it means: They don't even look down on your Heavenly Dao Pavilion! Even if their master is poor, they're willing to live a simple life!

Cheng Liang, stop worrying about this and mind your own business!

A few old foxes were secretly laughing at what the little fox said, while Cheng Liang was left speechless and bitter!

What could he do? Kill Ye Qinghan here? Or kill Su Cheng?

If word gets out, it will be said that the Heavenly Dao Pavilion's leader coveted his senior brother's disciple and was willing to kill her to possess the beauty!

Does he think he hasn't made enough jokes already?

"Qinghan, it will take some time for the secret realm to open. I'll chat with them for a while, you go and have some fun."

Ye Qinghan nodded. Having finished speaking, and with nothing else to do here, he decided to go and have some fun.

Elder Shi from Suzhou seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold: "If my wife were half as sensible as your disciple, I would be content!"

"Hehe, Elder Shi, you're quite the joker. This disciple is a vixen, good at sweet talk! I've long heard of the Holy Maiden of the Holy Mountain, who is exceptionally talented and already qualified for the position at such a young age!"

Although Su Cheng's words sounded nice, they were actually sarcastic. Everyone present knew that although the Holy Maiden was exceptionally intelligent, she was actually a fool with the mental capacity of a child.

Comparing my precious disciple to your wife?

Heh, attacking me? Then let's hurt each other!

Su Cheng had no idea that the saintess he was talking about was chatting with Ye Qinghan at that moment.

"What's your name?" A girl with long, golden hair, who looked like an angel, knelt down next to Ye Qinghan. Although she looked like a sexy woman, her expression was very innocent.

However, the conversation didn't go very smoothly; Ye Qinghan didn't particularly enjoy chatting with anyone other than his master...

"None of your business, get out of here."

Can I be your friend?

"Can't."

"I like your master, and I want to be your friend."

Ye Qinghan was startled and almost went berserk upon hearing these words!

"If you say that again, I'll kill you right now!"

As the words fell, a huge sword box crashed down at the feet of the Holy Maiden with a loud bang, drawing the attention of Su Cheng and the other family heads and clan leaders.

"What's wrong, Qinghan?"

"It's nothing." Ye Qinghan didn't turn around to look at his master, but just stared at the innocent-looking saintess in front of him...

Su Cheng pursed his lips. He had no intention of hiding the matter of Pingyun Sect, so he simply spoke in a volume that everyone could hear.

"Qinghan, what did I teach you? There are too many people and too many eyes here. Don't kill people indiscriminately, and you certainly can't slaughter an entire family. If anything happens, go back to Lingxian Palace and I will help you make a good plan."

"Okay!" Ye Qinghan practically said through gritted teeth!

This brain-dead saintess is utterly wicked! How dare she like my master?! Even if Cheng Liang lives, she'll die!

Cut in half at the waist! Slowly sliced ​​to death! Tortured by five horses! Make sure she dies a complete and utter death!

What kind of holy maiden is this? Can't even your holy maiden be properly trained?

It went into heat as soon as it came out?

"Heh, you dare to steal my man from Ye Qinghan? How many lives do you have, Miss Saintess?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's Yitiao, but I really like your master!"

The saintess looked completely sincere, as if Ye Qinghan would give her his master if she sincerely expressed her feelings...

"If nothing unexpected happens, you're about to die!"

"No, I'm very healthy and can give your master a healthy child!"

It must be said, Miss Saint knows how to make friends!

"I'll fucking kill you right now!"

The sword case, which had just been tucked into his arms, was smashed to the ground with a bang!

Compared to last time, the sword box opened instantly, revealing several immortal swords!

"Qinghan! Calm down! What did she do to make you angry!"

Ye Qinghan was grinding his teeth so hard they were about to break, and his right hand, which was poised to control his sword, was already raised, but he slowly lowered it again when he saw his master...

"Sect Leader Su, nice to meet you. My name is Li Shiyao. I just wanted to make friends with Sister Qinghan, but it seems I messed it up."
