184: Chapter 184 It’s Mr. Zhang

Over at the pavilion.

Nangong Yuyan unleashed a full-powered strike against the pavilion wall.

“Boom!”

After a loud bang, the wall remained completely undamaged, only showing a ripple-like distortion before returning to normal.

Nangong Yuyan was thrown back over ten steps, her face changed, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Lu Xiaoyao gently shook his head, muttering, “Sigh, it’s as I guessed; it still failed. Even a King Sealing Realm expert can’t break this Formation.”

“Young Miss, are you alright?” Xiao Ling anxiously ran towards Nangong Yuyan.

Luo Qingxue also followed, her face filled with worry.

Nangong Yuyan shook her head, wiped the blood from her mouth, and calmly said, “I’m fine, just a rebound. This Formation is very strong. Even my full-powered strike couldn’t shake it at all. I estimate that even Feng Wang Realm Great Perfection would be helpless against it.”

“Young Miss Nangong, please don’t act anymore. Let’s think of other solutions!” Luo Qingxue said.

“Yes, Young Miss, quickly Cultivate to heal your injuries,” Xiao Ling also said worriedly.

Nangong Yuyan nodded, put away her long whip, took out a Medicinal Pill for healing, and began to refine its medicinal power to treat her injuries.

Although she spoke casually, the rebound force just now had caused severe internal injuries to her organs. To prevent Xiao Ling from worrying, she deliberately pretended that nothing was wrong.

Lu Xiaoyao’s expression also turned incredibly grim, and he felt the voice in his mind growing stronger and stronger.

Xiao Ling quietly guarded Nangong Yuyan’s side.

After a long while, Nangong Yuyan slowly opened her eyes.

“Young Miss, how are you?” Xiao Ling asked anxiously.

“I’ve recovered,” Nangong Yuyan said with a smile.

But just then.

Xiao Ling suddenly clutched her head and cried out, “Get out! I don’t want to Cultivate your Cultivation Technique!”

“Xiao Ling, what happened?” Nangong Yuyan’s expression changed as she asked anxiously.

“Young Miss, that voice keeps ringing in my mind, and I’m losing control! Besides that voice, there’s also information about that Cultivation Technique in my mind,” Xiao Ling said, clutching her head in pain.

“Xiao Ling, hold on, protect your mind,” Nangong Yuyan quickly reminded her.

In fact, she herself was also not well. In her mind, there was also a voice constantly repeating, urging her to Cultivate Battle King Skill. It was just that Nangong Yuyan’s strength was stronger and her willpower was a bit stronger, so she was not as affected as Xiao Ling.

If it continued, even she would definitely not be able to hold on.

But now, besides holding their minds firm, they had no better solution.

Luo Qingxue took out two Medicinal Pills and handed them to Nangong Yuyan and Xiao Ling, saying, “These are our Piao Miao Holy Land’s Clarity Pills. Taking them can clear your mind a bit.”

Nangong Yuyan and Xiao Ling didn’t stand on ceremony, grabbing the Medicinal Pills and taking them, then Cultivating to refine them.

After the medicinal power spread, Xiao Ling felt a cool energy continuously washing over her mind, and the voice in her head also became much quieter and less tempting.

Lu Xiaoyao saw the Clarity Pills Luo Qingxue took out. He looked on eagerly, wanting to ask for one, but felt embarrassed.

These Clarity Pills were a unique secret technique of Piao Miao Holy Land, extremely famous throughout the entire Eastern Region. Especially when Cultivating Cultivation Techniques or Martial Skills, taking them could keep one’s mind clear and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Although this Medicinal Pill was only a third-grade one, a main ingredient for refining Clarity Pills was extremely rare and seldom seen in the entire Eastern Region. Therefore, Piao Miao Holy Land never sold these Clarity Pills; they were a priceless commodity, extremely precious.

Luo Qingxue also saw Lu Xiaoyao’s expression and snorted coldly, “I only brought three in this time. I took one myself, and the remaining two I gave to them.”

“It’s alright, Xiaoxue, you only have three left. Even if you gave it to me, I couldn’t take it. I’m a big man, I can still hold on.” Lu Xiaoyao forced a smile, but his words were full of male chauvinism.

“Lu Deafy, how many times have I told you not to call me Xiaoxue?” Luo Qingxue glared, continuing, “Don’t talk to me anymore. I don’t have any feelings for you. Besides, I already have someone I like.”

“Impossible!” Lu Xiaoyao’s face changed, “You must be saying that on purpose, right?”

“Do I need to lie to you?” Luo Qingxue said seriously, “I really do have someone I like, and he’s a thousand times better than you.”

Nangong Yuyan and Xiao Ling also looked at Luo Qingxue with surprise, wanting to know who the person she liked was, but feeling too embarrassed to ask.

“Who is it?” Lu Xiaoyao felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, his face incredibly grim.

Several years ago, Lu Xiaoyao followed his master to Piao Miao Holy Land. The first time he saw Luo Qingxue, he fell deeply in love with her, secretly vowing in his heart that he would marry no one but Luo Qingxue.

Afterward, he began a fierce pursuit, but Luo Qingxue completely ignored him.

Lu Xiaoyao even persuaded his master to propose marriage on his behalf at Piao Miao Holy Land, but Luo Qingxue’s master did not agree, saying that her disciple’s lifelong matter was for her disciple to decide herself.

Few people in the entire Eastern Region knew about Lu Xiaoyao’s affection for Luo Qingxue.

Thinking that only a few months had passed, and Luo Qingxue was already saying she had someone she liked, how could Lu Xiaoyao not panic?

How could he not be angry?

“Aren’t you asking who the person I like is?” Luo Qingxue didn’t even think, directly saying, “I’ll tell you now, the person I like is Young Master Zhang, Zhang Bufan.”

“What?” Lu Xiaoyao’s face turned pale, and his body involuntarily retreated a few steps.

Nangong Yuyan and Xiao Ling also had their mouths wide open, looking at Luo Qingxue in shock. Especially Nangong Yuyan, while shocked, inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, though she didn’t know why.

After Luo Qingxue finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. She had been almost driven crazy by Lu Xiaoyao’s relentless pestering, and coupled with being in danger at the moment, she was flustered and spoke impulsively, blurting it out.

“I don’t believe it! That kid is only at Yu Ling Realm, his strength is low, and he’s just a country bumpkin from a remote place. What does he have to compare with me?” Lu Xiaoyao’s face twisted, and he roared out.

At this moment, he had lost his usual composure. His calm and collected expression had long disappeared, replaced by that of a wounded, raging lion.

“How is Young Master Zhang not as good as you?”

Just then, Luo Qingxue and Nangong Yuyan retorted in unison.

After speaking, the two exchanged glances again. Nangong Yuyan felt a bit awkward and quickly lowered her head.

Just now, she had also heard Lu Xiaoyao speak ill of Zhang Bufan and rushed to retort, completely forgetting that this was Luo Qingxue’s moment.

Luo Qingxue didn’t think too much either, simply going all out. She said coldly, “Young Master Zhang is better than you in every way. He’s more handsome than you, stronger than you, and he even saved my life. I just like him, so what?”
