Chapter 55: He Huan Sect Master Bai Yueguang 16 Accepted a new male cultivator?! ...
The faces of the disciples from various sects below the stage changed. Who could have imagined that during the Hundred Sects Joint Competition, the two sect leaders would actually start fighting each other as if they were risking their lives just because of a disagreement.
After just a dozen moves, Wen Qianning became more and more courageous. With the help of the secret method of the Hehuan Sect and the benefits from her and Ji Hanlin's dual cultivation, she had already surpassed Rong Jie by half.
Even the leader of Qingyun Sword Sect had to be beaten back.
Rong Jie's expression changed slightly, and he took a few steps back. Just as he was about to gather his spiritual energy again, Wen Qianning had already approached, and a stream of spiritual energy was directed at his shoulder. His expression froze, knowing that if he took the blow, even if it wasn't fatal, it would definitely cause serious injury.
The always arrogant Qingyun Sword Sect's leader, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead, finally realized...
The cultivation level of Wen Qianning, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, is no longer comparable to what it used to be.
The people from various sects below the stage were stunned.
They never expected that the Hehuan Sect, which they had never regarded as a decent sect, would be so powerful when fighting. Even the leader of the Qingyun Sword Sect would find it difficult to resist.
The faces of several elders of Xuanxiao Mountain changed. They could no longer sit still and stood up one after another.
However, Wen Qianning's attack was so ruthless and his spiritual power was so strong that if I really intervened rashly, not only would I fail to persuade him, I would also be afraid that innocent people would be affected.
One of the elders had no choice but to step forward and whisper as gently as possible, "Master Wen, please stop! Your anger is understandable, but right now, the extent of your disciple's injuries is unknown. Saving him is paramount. Why don't you check on him first?"
This sentence finally eased the tense atmosphere in the ring.
Wen Qianning paused and turned to look at Sang Yu who was leaning against the railing below the ring. He was pale, still holding his chest, and cold sweat kept oozing from his forehead.
That's right, Sang Yu's situation is more important. Her eyes turned cold, she waved her sleeves back, and said calmly: "If anything happens to Sang Yu, Zhen Zhixin will definitely die."
She stopped looking at Rong Jie, turned around and walked down the stage. In a flash, she came to Sang Yu's side and raised her hand to feel his pulse.
After carefully examining it for a moment, her frown relaxed slightly.
The spiritual veins were intact and the mind was clear, but the spiritual power in the body was temporarily stagnant, as if it was suppressed by something and was not flowing smoothly, so he could not exert his strength in a short period of time.
"Sect Master..." Sang Yu called her softly, forcing a smile to comfort her, "I'm fine, I just... I just can't muster the strength for a moment. It's my fault. I don't know how, but Zhen Zhixin plotted against me."
Wen Qianning gently pressed his shoulder, her face serious: "Why are you apologizing? It's all that sinister person's fault. Don't worry, I won't let him off so easily."
She stood up and glanced coldly at Zhen Zhixin, who was still on the stage, as if she was looking at a dead person.
The elders of Xuanxiao Mountain also stepped forward at the right time and checked Zhen Zhixin. They used several detection spells one after another, but found nothing.
"His sword is spotless, with no trace of spiritual poison." The elder frowned and whispered, "It seems... there really isn't anything they can find."
Everyone present looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Zhen Zhixin sneered in his heart. This treasure has now evaporated and disappeared, so of course nothing can be found out.
Wen Qianning watched coldly without saying a word.
She didn't know what Zhen Zhixin used, nor could she produce any evidence, but she knew this man's character too well, and she knew that he must have used some tricks.
However, the medicinal properties have now dissipated and no trace has been found. If Xuanxiao Mountain has no concrete evidence, it is naturally not appropriate for the Hehuan Sect to come forward and punish the culprit.
Wen Qianning lowered her eyes and glanced at Sang Yu.
"Zhen Zhixin, just wait. I've made note of this." She said harshly.
*
Fortunately, Sang Yu recovered as normal after just one night.
The spiritual energy in his body began to circulate again, his meridians were unobstructed, and there were no sequelae. Apart from a brief period of weakness after the fight the day before, he was not affected in any other way.
Wen Qianning personally took his pulse and confirmed that everything was fine, and only then did he feel completely relieved.
When the disciples of the Hehuan Sect learned that Sang Yu was safe and sound, they felt relieved, but their remaining enthusiasm for the competition had already cooled.
After Sang Yu was ambushed yesterday, everyone in the Hehuan Sect was in a state of confusion and no longer had the heart to continue competing in the ring.
They had not come here for fame and fortune... They had joined the war just to establish their authority over the other 100 sects and build up their sect's reputation.
Now that Wen Qianning had forced the leader of the Qingyun Sword Sect to retreat with one palm, he had made the attitude, strength and bottom line of the Hehuan Sect clear, and he had also established his prestige.
It is no longer necessary to continue the competition.
Indeed, after Wen Qianning's battle yesterday, the attitudes of many sects that were originally on the sidelines towards the Hehuan Sect have quietly changed.
Especially those small sects with shallow roots and weak strength, who witnessed Wen Qianning suppressing Qingyun Sword Sect's Sect Master Rong Jie with one palm and then leaving the scene unscathed, how could they not understand that although the Hehuan Sect had a bad reputation, it was no longer a side sect that could be despised by others.
The world of cultivation has always been one of currying favor with the powerful. Some people are in awe, some are wary, and naturally there are also people who want to take this opportunity to get in touch with the Hehuan Sect.
That afternoon, the head of a small sect quietly came to the door.
This person had a big smile on his face, and behind him was a young cultivator with very beautiful eyebrows and eyes. He was only eighteen years old, and his cultivation was only at the peak of Qi training, but his bones were pure and his mind was gentle, which was an extremely rare qualification for dual cultivation.
"Master Wen, I witnessed your elegance with my own eyes yesterday. You are truly a role model for our generation. Although our sect is small, I am willing to serve you with this disciple. I am willing to serve you as the master and hold the furnace with all my heart. I only hope that if the Hehuan Sect has any missions in the future, I will never dare to neglect them." The person in charge said in a flattering tone.
After saying this, the young man knelt down and kowtowed, raising his eyes timidly with a look of shyness and flattery on his face, showing that he had been taught a lesson.
Wen Qianning sat in the upper seat, paused while drinking tea, lowered his eyes to glance at the young man, remembered something, and suddenly his expression became strange.
She stared at the gentle face and was silent for a moment.
Well... in the original plot, Bai Yueguang has found someone more suitable for dual cultivation and is ready to dump the male protagonist?
"Alright," Wen Qianning sighed softly inwardly and said calmly, "Since it's delivered to my door... then I'll accept it."
When the manager heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
The young man also kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, sir, for your guidance."
The news spread quickly. Someone dared to send someone to please their sect leader. Once the person was accepted, it naturally became the top gossip among the people of the Hehuan Sect after dinner.
"I heard he's a handsome male cultivator with good spiritual roots and a clean aura. He's a perfect match for the Sect Master..."
"It is said that the Sect Master agreed after only one look!"
As the news spread, it finally reached the ears of Sang Yu, who was resting in the dormitory arranged for him in Xuanxiao Mountain.
At that time, he was recuperating on the couch, and he looked like he was fine.
But when he heard the fellow disciple who came to bring him food say that "the sect leader has accepted a new male cultivator as his partner", the bowl that he had originally held steadily in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
Sang Yu didn't bother to pack up, he quickly stood up and walked out with big strides.
The disciple behind him never expected Sang Yu's reaction to be so strong, and shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Sang Yu, don't get excited!"
But he wouldn't listen.
Soon, Sang Yu broke into Wen Qianning's dormitory.
Wen Qianning was holding a book, reading slowly while sitting on a couch filled with sandalwood fragrance. Tea was still boiling in the charcoal stove beside her. The room was quiet and peaceful.
She thought that she had no intention of participating in this martial arts competition. After Sang Yu rested for a few days in Xuanxiao Mountain, they would return to Hehuan Sect together.
At this moment, Sang Yu strode in, breaking the silence in the room, and said in a hurried and aggressive tone: "Master, you...you accepted a male cultivator?"
Hearing the sound, Wen Qianning looked up at him and nodded: "Well, what's wrong?"
"...Don't you like Ji Hanlin?" Sang Yu was dumbfounded, shocked and completely unable to believe it.
She blinked, her eyes innocent and even a bit frank, and smiled: "I took him in for cultivation. His aptitude is indeed suitable for dual cultivation."
Sang Yu choked.
He knew that Wen Qianning always paid attention to the compatibility of talents and physiques when recruiting people, but the problem was... this time she agreed to it personally!
"Besides," Wen Qianning said calmly, "they've already delivered it to my door. If I don't accept it, wouldn't that be too unkind?"
“…” Sang Yu opened his mouth for a long time but couldn’t utter a word.
Hearing his sect leader say this, Sang Yu felt complicated. Some time ago, he realized that his feelings towards her were not entirely love, but perhaps more of admiration and respect, so he no longer thought about practicing dual cultivation with her.
Regarding the fact that she readily accepted the male cultivator offered by others... Sang Yu still felt annoyed, mainly because of the person who always had a problem with him.
"What about Ji Hanlin?" He asked unwillingly, indignantly speaking up for Ji Hanlin. "His personality is nothing but arrogant and aloof. Now that you've accepted someone else, he..."
"He's not my Taoist partner. At most, we're just compatible in cultivation." Wen Qianning said in her usual nonchalant tone, "Do I really need his approval to practice Taoism with someone else? If he dares to object, I'll just dump him."
She blew gently on the edge of the teacup and took a sip slowly, looking indifferent as if she didn't care about Ji Hanlin at all.
Sang Yu's mouth twitched when he heard this.
He didn't expect that his own sect leader would be such a scumbag. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little... sympathetic to Ji Hanlin.
His mind emerged with the way the man who usually had a cold face looked at Wen Qianning since the two of them returned from Yundu Lake. The way he looked at her was completely different from the way he looked at other people. There was love hidden in his eyes, and he seemed particularly stubborn.
Uh... Ji Hanlin was so possessive, it was obvious he wouldn't tolerate Wen Qianning getting close to anyone else. Sang Yu couldn't help but imagine what would happen if that person knew the Sect Master had gone out for a competition and returned with a new dual cultivation partner...
It's so scary, I can't even imagine it.
Sang Yu shuddered. He sincerely doubted, Master... could she really get rid of Ji Hanlin?
Even though she said it nonchalantly, saying that at worst Ji Hanlin could just be dumped, he still felt that things weren't that simple. That person didn't seem like someone who could easily let go of Wen Qianning.
Sang Yu hesitated and wanted to say something more, but when he saw Wen Qianning looking so relaxed and not panicking at all, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
...Forget it, since the Sect Master has managed to get to where he is today, she should be able to handle matters like debts of love.
He turned silently and walked out the door.
