Luo Jianqing turned to look at him and asked, "I didn't know that Fellow Daoist Mo was so gossipy?"
Mo Qiu sneered, "What a joke! I'm gossiping? How could I possibly be gossiping?"
Luo Jianqing asked back: "Then why did you ask me just now?"
Mo Qiu: "...I'm just concerned about you."
Luo Jianqing: "..."
After a moment, Luo Jianqing said, "Then it's up to me to decide whether or not I tell you. I'm sorry I won't tell you."
Mo Qiu: "..."
The distance from Yuxiao Peak to Cangshuang Peak wasn't too far, and the two soon spotted the various cultivators gathered in the Cangshuang Peak square. It was now time for the Foundation Establishment stage's duel, and two late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples were engaged in a fierce battle on the stage. Even though their cultivation wasn't high, their solid strength made the duel quite a spectacle.
When Luo Jianqing arrived at the square, countless eyes immediately focused on him.
The eyes of the Taihua Mountain disciples were filled with eager anticipation, and many amorous junior sisters even raised their hands to their hearts, their cheeks flushed with excitement. Ordinary disciples from other smaller sects also looked at Luo Jianqing with great reverence, as if they had seen an idol, their chatter filling the auditorium.
"Is this the legendary Senior Brother from Mount Taihua? He's so handsome!"
"This senior has already reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of forty! My master said that he might be able to reach the Out-of-Body stage at the age of sixty!"
"Impossible? That's the Out-of-Body Stage. The Grand Elder of our Dianling Sect is only at the early stage of Out-of-Body..."
"How is it impossible? Venerable Xuan Lingzi, who entered the Nascent Soul stage at the age of fifty-six, was able to enter the Spiritual Transformation stage before the age of three hundred. It is absolutely certain that Senior Luo will reach the Out-of-Body stage at the age of sixty!"
…
"Brother, I have something to ask of you."
"Hahahaha, Junior Sister, you say it! As long as I can do it, climbing mountains of swords and descending seas of fire is no problem!"
"Then... Senior Brother, I heard that you are on good terms with the disciples of Mount Taihua. Could you help me deliver this handkerchief to Senior Na Luo?"
“$%#$#…”
…
Because of his natural physique, Luo Jianqing was born with exceptional hearing, and with his high cultivation, he took all of these words in. Mo Qiu had originally been sitting beside Luo Jianqing, curiously watching the action unfold on the stage, but when he heard these words, his mouth twitched, and he exclaimed, "Why are they so gossipy?"
Luo Jianqing said calmly: "So, now you know how I felt just now?"
Mo Qiu didn't understand at first, but after a while, he realized that Luo Jianqing was talking about his gossip again. This time, Mo Qiu couldn't stand it anymore and sent a voice message: "Who asked you to have that kind of relationship with your master? I... I'm just curious!"
Luo Jianqing's heart was shocked and he asked, "What kind of relationship do I have with my master?"
Mo Qiu was silent for a while, then sent a voice message: "Why are you asking me about this?"
Luo Jianqing suddenly fell silent.
The atmosphere between the two instantly grew awkward. When the Jindan-stage disciples began to compete on stage, Luo Jianqing finally transmitted his message, "My relationship with my master is unacceptable to the world. If you also find it distasteful, then after this sect competition, you should leave Taihua Mountain. We should see each other less often."
Mo Qiu: "If you tell me to leave, I'll leave. It's just being with my own master, what's the big deal? You so-called righteous people are just boring. Although we demon cultivators have this kind of rules on the surface, no one ever abides by it. The two guardians of my Demon Dao Palace..." The voice transmission stopped instantly, and Mo Qiu continued: "Two friends I know, they are biological brothers, but they have been together for thousands of years. Their blood relationship is closer than your master-disciple relationship, but no one in the demon cultivator dares to say a word against them. Venerable Xuan Lingzi is the number one person in the world today, who dares to control him?"
Luo Jianqing lowered his eyes, looked at the scene on the fighting stage, and whispered: "He will control him himself."
Mo Qiu was speechless for a moment.
Half an hour later, all matches below the Jindan stage concluded. As expected, Zuo Yunmo, the second-ranked cultivator among the Seven Sons of Taihua Mountain, once again defeated Wei Qiongyin, the third-ranked cultivator, to take first place. At this point, only the Yuanying stage remained in the competition. However, Luo Jianqing was the only Yuanying cultivator in the stage. As long as no one challenged him, he would be the first.
The elder in charge of this matter looked at Zuo Yunmo and asked, "Do you want to challenge?"
Zuo Yunmo raised his head and looked at Luo Jianqing in the stands. The latter nodded to him with a faint smile, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Zuo Yunmo turned around and shook his head, saying, "Big Brother is extremely powerful, so I naturally won't challenge him."
Luo Jianqing raised an eyebrow in surprise as the elder began to announce the final results of the sect competition: "The Taihua Mountain sect competition, held every seven years, has concluded. The first place in the Qi Refining Stage is Lin Zhen from Cangshuang Peak, the first place in the Foundation Establishment Stage is Yue Yunfeng from Bishen Peak, the first place in the Golden Core Stage is Zuo Yunmo from Cangshuang Peak, and the first place in the Nascent Soul Stage is Luo from Yuxiao Peak..."
"Wait a minute!"
A loud voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the elder's words.
The elder turned to look at the audience, only to see a young man in a white brocade robe standing up, waving a broken jade fan in his hand. He smiled gracefully and said, "I am Bai Chi of the Bai family, ranked seventh, and I have come to Taihua Mountain to watch the battle on behalf of the Bai family. I have long admired Taihua Mountain. After arriving here this time, the headmaster also asked us to treat Taihua Mountain as our home. In that case, I wonder if I can participate in this battle?"
There was an uproar in the field!
This kind of thing has never happened in thousands of years!
Mount Taihua has stood tall on the Xuantian Continent for millennia, weathering countless storms. In its heyday, it dominated the continent, unrivaled. However, a massive war between two tribes a thousand years ago shattered the foundations of Mount Taihua, resulting in the death of a peak master and countless elite soldiers.
