10: Chapter 10: He touched his senior sister's feet right off the bat?

Facing Leng Qingyue's murderous interrogation, Cao Kun spoke words that shocked everyone.

"I advise you to be a bit more polite when speaking to me."

"I was specifically invited by Elder Yu to be the manager in charge of the Lianxiang Peak medicinal garden!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Leng Qingyue's already icy, beautiful face instantly grew three degrees colder.

A manager?

And specifically invited by her Revered Master?

This was simply the height of absurdity!

"Nonsense!" Leng Qingyue snapped coldly. "I am the only Personal Disciple under Revered Master. Why have I never heard her mention this?"

On Lianxiang Peak, aside from her Revered Master, she held the highest status.

The appointment or dismissal of every handyman and deacon—which of them didn't require her approval?

A mere Outer Sect Disciple dared to speak such grandiloquent nonsense here!

"Oh?" Cao Kun raised an eyebrow in feigned surprise, then spread his hands.

"That, I wouldn't know."

He sized Leng Qingyue up from head to toe, then made a cheeky guess.

"Maybe it's because... your relationship isn't that great? Revered Master has things she doesn't trust you with, so she didn't tell you."

Provocation!

Blatant provocation!

How could her relationship with her Revered Master be something this lecherous scoundrel was fit to comment on?!

"You dare!"

Leng Qingyue was thoroughly enraged.

She wasted no more words and flicked her wrist.

That snow-white longsword let out a hum, its blade flashing with a cold light as it lunged straight for Cao Kun's throat!

With this strike, she was playing for keeps!

However, after a crisp "Clang!"

That unstoppable sword tip was actually caught firmly between two of Cao Kun's fingers!

The blade was less than half an inch from his throat. The Sword Qi caused a slight stinging pain on his skin, yet it could not advance another hair's breadth.

How is this possible?!

Leng Qingyue's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

Even an Inner Sect Senior Brother of the same rank wouldn't dare to catch this strike head-on like this!

Just what was the background of this Outer Sect Disciple?

How could his Physical Body's strength be so terrifying?!

In the blink of an eye, Leng Qingyue had already made a decision.

She acted decisively, letting go of the sword hilt and allowing the longsword to remain clamped between Cao Kun's fingers.

Her graceful body performed an incredible spin in mid-air, using the rotational force.

A long, jade-like leg wrapped in a white dress swept toward Cao Kun's handsome face with the sound of whistling wind!

The movement was as fluid as flowing water and extremely ruthless!

"Nice one!"

Cao Kun praised her inwardly; this girl really did have some skill.

In that split second.

Cao Kun raised his left hand and snatched Leng Qingyue's incoming ankle.

It was cold to the touch and felt silky smooth.

Even through the thin fabric, he could still feel that amazing elasticity and perfect curve.

"Your legs are really long."

Cao Kun held that slender ankle, clicking his tongue in wonder as he commented flirtatiously:

"They're just ice-cold, without a bit of warmth."

"Oh, Senior Sister, the soles of your shoes are transparent? Quite unique."

"You...!"

Having her ankle grabbed like this and being teased with such humiliating words.

Leng Qingyue felt a surge of blood rush to her head.

Her cold and ethereal face instantly flushed bright red, whether from anger or shame.

She channeled her spiritual energy again, trying to break free, only to find that she couldn't escape his palm no matter what!

"Shameless rogue! Let go!"

Leng Qingyue screamed sharply, abandoning her seized longsword.

Her other hand quickly pulled a Talisman flickering with purple lightning from her storage ring.

Five-Thunder Talisman!

The moment the Talisman appeared, violent lightning power permeated the air.

Cao Kun's eyelids jumped.

Good grief, this woman is really going for the kill!

If he were hit head-on, even with Chaos energy protecting his body, it wouldn't be pleasant.

He didn't want to go head-to-head with this girl.

With a thought, Cao Kun immediately let go and drifted back several yards, putting distance between himself and Leng Qingyue.

Although their exchange was brief, the commotion it caused was not small.

Lianxiang Peak below was finally alerted.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several streaks of light flew up from various places on the mountainside, stopping in mid-air and surrounding the two in their standoff.

The newcomers were all Inner Sect Disciples of Lianxiang Peak.

When they saw the situation clearly, an uproar immediately broke out.

"It's Senior Sister Leng!"

"Who is that guy in the grey clothes? An Outer Sect Disciple? How does he dare to fly his sword over Lianxiang Peak?"

"Just now... was he taking liberties with Senior Sister Leng?!"

When the male Disciples saw Cao Kun's action of grabbing Leng Qingyue's ankle, their eyes burned with fire, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

Who was Leng Qingyue?

She was the famous Ice Fairy of Lianxiang Peak, and even the entire Hehuan Sect's inner sect!

On normal days, let alone touching her, even wanting to say a word to her was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

Now, the sacred and inviolable goddess in their hearts had actually had her... her foot touched by an Outer Sect Disciple who appeared out of nowhere!

How could this be tolerated?!

"Bold madman! You dare to lay a hand on my Senior Sister? You're looking for death!"

"Seize him! Hand him over to the Discipline Hall for punishment!"

Angry shouts rose one after another.

A dozen Inner Sect Disciples summoned their Magical Artifacts, surrounding Cao Kun in a murderous circle.

However, the few female Disciples in the crowd were not as agitated.

Their gazes swept over Cao Kun's remarkably handsome face.

Recalling the scene of him easily suppressing Leng Qingyue just now, a strange light couldn't help but flicker in their beautiful eyes.

This Outer Sect Junior Brother is good-looking, and his strength seems very formidable too...

At that moment, a handsome young man wearing a blue brocade robe stepped forward from the crowd.

He held a Medium Grade Magic Treasure Flying Sword, pointing it at Cao Kun as he shouted with a face full of rage:

"I am Inner Sect Disciple Lin Fan! A mere Outer Sect piece of trash dares to run wild on Lianxiang Peak and even dares to desecrate Junior Sister Leng! Today, I will ensure your Divine Soul is extinguished!"

Lin Fan, with a cultivation at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, was somewhat famous in the Inner Sect and was one of Leng Qingyue's most fanatical pursuers.

Seeing his goddess insulted, this was the perfect opportunity for him to play the hero!

Cao Kun looked around at this group of guys blinded by hormones, feeling quite amused.

"Tsk, these simps are really something."

He didn't take their threats to heart at all. Instead, he cleared his throat and spoke loudly again:

"I've already said, I was invited by Elder Yu to look after the medicinal garden!"

"If you hurt me and the garden is left untended, making Elder Yu unhappy, can you take responsibility for that?"

"Hahaha..."

Hearing this, Lin Fan laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Death is at your door, yet you still dare to be stubborn!"

"With Elder Yu's status, why would she invite an Outer Sect piece of trash like you? I think you're living in a dream!"

The mockery on his face grew thicker, and Killing Intent appeared in his eyes:

"Fellow brothers, don't waste words with him!"

"This person trespassed on the main peak and even insulted an Elder. His crimes are compounded! Attack! If anything happens, I, Lin Fan, will take full responsibility!"

"Go!"

With the command, the spiritual energy of the surrounding male Disciples surged. The lights of various Spells and Magic Treasures lit up instantly, looking ready to drown Cao Kun.

Leng Qingyue stood to the side, holding the Five-Thunder Talisman, watching coldly without intervening.

In her view, Cao Kun was certainly doomed.

However, at this critical moment.

Not only did Cao Kun show no panic, but he also made a move that left everyone dumbfounded.

He wiped all expression from his face and then gathered all the spiritual energy in his Dantian.

In the next second.

A shout filled with endless grievance and fear echoed through the entirety of Lianxiang Peak!

"Revered Master—save me—!"

"Your Disciple was personally invited by you to look after the medicinal garden!"

"Now, your Disciple is about to be beaten to death by these fellow Senior Brothers who can't tell right from wrong—!"

This shout was full of emotion and loud enough to pierce through clouds and stone.

All the Inner Sect Disciples who were about to attack froze, completely stunned.

Even Leng Qingyue in the distance had a look of bewilderment.

Ma... Revered Master?

Who was he calling?

He was calling Elder Yu Linglong?!

While everyone was dazed by that shout.

Cao Kun's left hand, hidden inside his sleeve, activated that Beast-Taming Tool.

Buzz—Buzz!

At the same time.

Inside the main hall of Lianxiang Peak.

Yu Linglong was rubbing her temples, feeling distracted and irritable.

Suddenly, Cao Kun's earth-shattering shout clearly reached her ears.

"Hmm?"

Yu Linglong's willow-like brows furrowed.

What is this Rebellious Disciple shouting about outside?

Just as she was about to send a voice transmission to scold him and tell him to get over here immediately.

A familiar, strange sensation exploded without warning!

"Ugh...!"

Yu Linglong let out a muffled groan, her graceful body slumping directly onto her throne.

It's here!

It's coming again!

This Rebellious Disciple!

Not only is he shouting outside, but he actually dares... dares to do this at a time like this...

Yu Linglong
