Ye Qiu was both amused and exasperated.
In broad daylight, Lin Qingzhu really doesn't try to avoid suspicion at all.
He felt utterly exasperated: "Is it really more interesting to see Tongling Lake from the Wangxian Inn than from here?"
“Of course,” Lin Qingzhu said. “There’s a soft, comfortable bed and a quiet, private space upstairs. We can enjoy our time alone to our hearts’ content. Isn’t that wonderful?”
Are you sure you don't have any other thoughts?
"Pah, do you think I'd eat you? Ye Qiu, I'm a girl, and you're a man. You're not going to chicken out and not dare to go, are you?" Lin Qingzhu glared at Ye Qiu.
"No, that's not it. I'm just afraid you'll make a wrong step and fall into the abyss," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"No way, let's go."
Lin Qingzhu pulled Ye Qiu with all her might.
"Alright, alright, let's go."
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly.
But just as Ye Qiu was about to follow Lin Qingzhu, a figure suddenly approached rapidly from afar and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The newcomer was dressed in a white robe and wore an ice mask. The tuft of snow-white beard on his chin indicated that he was quite old.
Ye Qiu glanced at his ice mask. The ice mask had a strange shape, as if it had been integrated with his face, giving people a sense of mystery.
Ye Qiu suddenly realized that the extremely cold ice that appeared at the end of the trial path seemed to have this kind of aura.
"Ye Qiu, let's talk."
The person spoke, their voice somewhat hoarse.
"We're complete strangers. I don't even know who you are. What do we have to talk about?" Ye Qiu refused, his expression grave.
"My name is Wu Nian," the newcomer continued in a hoarse voice. "Come with me, the Imperial Gate needs you."
Imperial Gate?
Ye Qiu didn't react.
But Lin Qingzhu's expression changed drastically in an instant, and she stepped in front of Ye Qiu to block him.
Wu Nian glanced at Lin Qingzhu and said indifferently, "Girl, this person is not destined for your Supreme God Palace. My Emperor Sect wants him. Let's go."
"Wu... Wu Nian, you are the leader of the demonic path in the world today. If Ye Qiu enters your imperial sect, it will be as if your life has been ruined. I will never let you take him away."
Lin Qingzhu gritted her teeth and said.
Ye Qiu could tell that Lin Qingzhu was flustered and her heart was beating very fast.
Wu Nian's lips twitched slightly, as if he were sneering. Even his icy mask seemed to move along with his lips. His disdainful voice slowly rang out: "What is righteousness and what is evil? They are nothing but tricks used by you self-proclaimed righteous people to deceive people's hearts."
Our Imperial Clan disdains using such high-sounding methods to deceive the world and steal a reputation. Let's go...
With a wave of his hand, Wu Nian unleashed a powerful aura that sent Lin Qingzhu flying.
Lin Qingzhu coughed up blood and tried to get closer again, but an irresistible and terrifying force blocked her at a distance of twenty feet, making it impossible for her to approach.
Lin Qingzhu was frantic and shouted, "Ye Qiu, no matter what he says, you must not listen to him!"
"Noisy".
Five years later, with another palm strike, Lin Qingzhu, who was twenty feet away, was pushed back another dozen feet.
These methods are truly extraordinary.
It should be noted that Lin Qingzhu was already at the Cave Technique Realm, yet she was utterly powerless against him.
"Senior Wunian, please speak frankly," Ye Qiu said seriously.
After the initial shock, Ye Qiu quickly adjusted his mindset and calmed down.
Wu Nian stared at Ye Qiu and smiled, "I have been observing you for several days, including when you killed Yang Ji, I was also present."
"Your qualifications are outstanding in every aspect, making you worthy of becoming the Holy Son of the Imperial Clan. Come, join the Imperial Clan, and I will guide you to rule the world."
"Senior, your cultivation is extraordinary and unfathomable. Aren't you afraid that if you mentor me, I will take your position?"
“I’m afraid, but it will take you at least five hundred years to achieve this.” Wu Nian let out a strange laugh: “Perhaps five hundred years from now, I will hand over the Imperial Gate to you without you having to seize it.”
"It takes five hundred years to have a chance to become the leader? Forget it, I'm not interested." Ye Qiu waved his hand and refused: "Senior Wunian, you should find someone else."
"It's not up to you." Wu Nian's aura completely locked onto Ye Qiu: "You possess the Chaos Law, which is of the same origin as the ancient Demonic Heavenly Venerable's magic system. If you don't join my path now, the world will force you to become a demon in the future. Why wait until then to enter the Emperor's Gate?"
"Impossible." Ye Qiu said seriously, "I will not enter the demonic path, and no one can force me."
Moreover, my cultivation level is entirely due to my own arduous practice; I have never done anything immoral or harmful, so what you described will absolutely not happen.
"Heh heh, naive child." Wu Nian said, "You should soon be able to step into the Cave Dharma Realm. At that time, you will slowly experience the resentment from others, and you will become more and more lonely and isolated."
Even if I don't force you, you will gradually draw closer to the Imperial Clan on your own. Within two years, you will surely join my Imperial Clan.
"Then let's make a bet. If I don't voluntarily join your Imperial Clan in two years, you'll give me your Imperial Clan's supreme cultivation method, how about it?"
"A two-year agreement?" Wu Nian nodded with a smile: "Alright, I'll take your bet, but for your safety, I need to leave the Myriad Demon Seal on you, so that I can find you at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Nian, without saying a word, pointed a finger at Ye Qiu's brow.
In an instant, a blood-red skull mark appeared between Ye Qiu's brows and quickly disappeared.
Ye Qiu's expression changed slightly: "What is this?"
"It's just an ordinary mark. It won't affect your cultivation in any way, nor will it hinder your progress. It certainly won't harm you."
Of course, this is on the premise that you don't try to erase it. If you try to erase it, it will devour your soul in an instant. Wu Nian laughed strangely.
