151: Chapter 151 Getting caught up in the drama?
"Vixen, you're still the same, pretending to be young."
Master Yun Hua looked at the young girl and said bluntly.
"Little Yun Hua, saying that makes me sad."
Hu Liner said to Master Yun Hua, putting on a look of feigned sorrow.
"She is the Old Ancestor of the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox clan, Hu Liner. She is in the Nirvana Realm and is over two thousand five hundred years old."
Master Yun Hua introduced her to her Disciples.
"Little Yun Hua, discussing a girl's age in front of others is not a nice thing to do."
Hu Liner said with a displeased expression.
Clearly, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Master Yun Hua revealing her age so publicly.
"A girl? You've become an old woman."
Master Yun Hua said without any politeness.
Master Yun Hua's attitude piqued Lin Ming's curiosity.
What exactly did this Old Ancestor of the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox do to his Revered Master that caused her to be so aggressive from the start?
"Little Yun Hua, there's no need for this. Wasn't it just that I organized a public marriage recruitment for you back then? So many years have passed."
Hu Liner's displeased expression vanished instantly, replaced by a somewhat mischievous smile.
Marriage recruitment?
Hearing this, the curiosity in Lin Ming's heart grew even stronger.
A cluster of flames instantly emerged from Master Yun Hua and surged toward Hu Liner.
Seeing this, Hu Liner waved her hand and dispersed the flames.
"Little Yun Hua, you're making me even sadder like this."
Hu Liner said, still with a smile on her face.
"Vixen, I think it's necessary for me to mention what happened back then to Gu Ze. He should be very interested to know who was behind that incident."
Master Yun Hua said coldly.
"Little Yun Hua, I was wrong. Let's just act as if nothing ever happened."
With a step, Hu Liner arrived in front of Master Yun Hua, grabbed her right hand, and said in a coquettish manner.
"Put away your Charm Arts."
Master Yun Hua pulled her hand away and looked at Hu Liner with disgust.
"Little Yun Hua, you really make me sad. Have you forgotten the days when we fought side by side?"
Hu Liner said with a look of feigned grief.
"I remember them very clearly."
Master Yun Hua sneered.
She had never forgotten what this vixen had done to her.
Master Yun Hua rarely suffered losses at the hands of others, but Hu Liner was one of the few who had managed to trick her.
"Little Yun Hua, this is your one flaw—you're especially vengeful."
Hu Liner shook her head.
She had only tricked her a few times; why hold a grudge for so many years?
Fortunately, she had reached the Nirvana Realm one step ahead of Master Yun Hua; otherwise, she would have been pinned to the ground and beaten.
"These must be your Disciples."
Hu Liner's gaze fell upon Lin Ming and the other two, scanning them before finally settling on Lin Ming.
"He's quite good-looking, and his cultivation is decent."
Hu Liner looked Lin Ming up and down.
"How about it? Do you want to become Dao Companions with my Hu Miaotong?"
Hu Liner suddenly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Ming was stunned. They were chatting just fine, so why was he suddenly involved? Finding him a Dao Companion?
Was this going to be some human-fox romance?
Humans and the Yao Race falling in love wasn't particularly rare nowadays.
But thousands of years ago, it was absolutely taboo. Once discovered, both parties would be criticized or even hunted down.
Until a ruthless man appeared: Yue Changge, a cultivator from Ximo Mountain. He was once a True Disciple of Ximo Mountain and met and fell in love with a fox yao during his travels.
When Ximo Mountain found out, they had Yue Changge's Revered Master personally capture both him and the fox yao.
However, that fox yao was no ordinary fox; she was the daughter of the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox Clan Chief. Ximo Mountain didn't want to make an enemy of the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox clan, so they personally sent her back to the Yao Race territory.
Yue Changge, who was brought back to Ximo Mountain, was imprisoned for ten years for his love affair with the Yao Race.
Ten years later, the matter seemed to have passed, and Yue Changge appeared to have forgotten the fox yao as he focused on his cultivation.
It took him seven hundred years to reach the Nirvana Realm. The first thing he did after becoming a Nirvana Ancestor was to go straight to Ku Mountain and take his fox yao Dao Companion out.
That fox yao had actually waited for Yue Changge for seven hundred years.
After taking the fox yao away, Yue Changge didn't leave; instead, he settled on a mountain peak right at the border between the Human Race and the Yao Race.
He then announced that if Ximo Mountain did not accept his Dao Companion, he would no longer acknowledge his status as a Disciple of Ximo Mountain.
Now it was Ximo Mountain's turn to be dumbfounded. They thought they had gained another Nirvana Realm powerhouse, and such a young Nirvana Ancestor at that.
But instead, he was willing to defect from the Sect for his fox yao Dao Companion, and Ximo Mountain could do nothing about him.
It was said that the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox clan was secretly supporting Yue Changge. After all, they lost nothing and gained a Nirvana Realm son-in-law; for them, it was a guaranteed win.
Perhaps it was his own strength combined with the support of the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox clan that gave Yue Changge such confidence.
However, the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox clan never publicly claimed they supported Yue Changge.
Their public stance was merely recognizing their love.
In the end, Ximo Mountain had to accept it, as they didn't want to lose such a young Nirvana Realm combatant.
Moreover, in front of a Nirvana Realm cultivator, the taboo of human-yao love didn't really mean much.
If they wanted to love each other, let them.
Since then, the taboo of humans and the Yao Race falling in love seemed to no longer be a taboo.
Although it wasn't a taboo, most people still held a dismissive attitude toward it.
"My Hu Miaotong is also very young. You definitely won't lose out by being her Dao Companion."
Hu Liner smiled.
"Old Ancestor..."
Hu Miaotong said with a look of helplessness.
At the same time, a blush appeared on her face.
She couldn't tell if her Old Ancestor was being serious or not. Given her Old Ancestor's playful nature, she might be joking, or she might be serious.
Both were possible.
"Senior, this Junior does not have any thoughts on this matter for the time being."
After snapping out of it, Lin Ming declined.
He truly had no such thoughts; he had never even considered it.
"No thoughts? Well, you have them now. I guarantee you won't lose out."
Hu Liner said persuasively.
"That's enough. Don't go using your crooked schemes on my Disciple."
Master Yun Hua spoke up at this moment.
"Our two families becoming in-laws, isn't that a good thing? What do you mean by crooked schemes?"
Hu Liner said with a straight face.
A good thing?
Did she really think Master Yun Hua didn't know what Hu Liner was plotting?
Using marriage as a pretext to bind herself to the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox clan was a trick they frequently used.
And now, this trick was being used on her Disciple.
