265: The protagonist who was rejected is the daughter of the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.

Western Region.

Outside Wanbao City.

A luxurious and domineering spirit boat flew in from the distance. The spirit boat was covered in various spiritual runes, with several kinds of spiritual light intertwining in a vibrant display. The entire sky was illuminated by the colorful spiritual light, drawing the attention of many Cultivators.

"Such a luxurious spirit boat?"

"Could it be a big shot from the Central Domain?"

"The outer hull of this spirit boat is actually forged from Thousand-year Amethyst Iron."

"You know, a single piece of Thousand-year Amethyst Iron is enough to refine a supreme grade spirit tool!"

"Could this spirit boat be a top grade spirit boat!"

"Look, there's a flag on it with the words 'Treasure Pavilion' printed on it."

"Could it be a spirit boat from the Treasure Pavilion?"

"Could a big shot from the Central Region Treasure Pavilion be coming to Wanbao City?"

...Inside the spirit boat.

"Young Miss, we are almost at Wanbao City!"

A young girl in green said respectfully.

"Xiaodie, where should we go to play later?"

"I haven't been to the Western Region's Wanbao City yet!"

A young girl wearing a blue-purple plain dress looked at the scene outside the spirit boat with some excitement.

"Young Miss, we aren't here to play this time."

"Our purpose in coming to Wanbao City this time is to explore the Yanguang Mountain Secret Realm that opens in two days."

A middle-aged beautiful woman in a black dress said with some helplessness.

"Aunt Zhao, don't be so serious!"

"It wasn't easy to get out for once, so I definitely have to have a good time!"

"Every time I went out before, my father would send a group of guards to follow me."

"This time, I acted spoiled for a long while before my father agreed to only let you, Aunt Zhao, follow me!"

"I can take this opportunity to wander around freely."

Chu Ningyue smiled sweetly, taking the beautiful woman's hand and acting spoiled.

Zhao Zhi touched Chu Ningyue's forehead and said in a gentle tone:

"Alright, alright, Young Miss. This time, you can have a good look around Wanbao City."

"I will keep you safe."

"I knew Aunt Zhao was the best!"

Chu Ningyue's lips curled slightly as she gave Zhao Zhi an affectionate hug. Then, she released her hand and leaned against the spirit boat's window, looking curiously at the scenery outside.

By now, the spirit boat had already flown into Wanbao City.

The Cultivators in the city were all dumbfounded by this luxurious spirit boat.

"Isn't Wanbao City a no-fly zone for spirit boats?"

"How did this spirit boat just fly in so openly?"

"Are you stupid?"

"This is clearly a spirit boat from the Treasure Pavilion."

"Our Wanbao City is a city managed by the Treasure Pavilion."

"It can be said to be the largest branch of the Treasure Pavilion in the Western Region."

"So it's normal for a spirit boat from the Treasure Pavilion to fly directly in."

...Outside the Treasure Pavilion.

A group of Cultivators had been waiting there for a long time.

Among them, at the front of the crowd, was an ordinary-looking young man.

"I've heard that Chu Ningyue, the daughter of the Wanbao Pavilion Master, is a peerless Fairy. I wonder what she's actually like?"

Ning Feng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking expectantly at the spirit boat slowly flying in from the distance.

"Fenger, don't worry, I've asked Chen Yan."

"Chu Ningyue is indeed a peerless Fairy, just as the rumors say."

"Moreover, Chen Yan also said that Chu Ningyue has a simple personality and is an innocent Young Miss who hasn't seen much of the world."

"As long as you can perfectly implement his plan, you will definitely be able to gain Chu Ningyue's favor."

"Perhaps when the time comes, Chu Ningyue will take a direct liking to you!"

Elder Yu said with certainty.

"That's great!"

Ning Feng said with some excitement.

Shortly after, the spirit boat landed in front of the Treasure Pavilion's main gate.

The spirit boat's door opened.

A young girl flew directly out of the spirit boat's door.

The girl was radiant, with a face as beautiful as a flower and skin like congealed fat. She was lively and spirited, wearing a blue-purple plain dress. Flecks of flowing light emanated from around her body, revealing a charming and cute temperament.

Following her were a young girl in green and a middle-aged beautiful woman in a black dress.

They stood respectfully behind the girl in the blue-purple plain dress.

"Greetings, Miss Chu!"

A group of Cultivators from the Treasure Pavilion's branch stepped forward to welcome her.

Leading them was a thin Gray-robed Old Man holding a brown cane.

"Pavilion Master Chen is too polite!"

Chu Ningyue looked at the Gray-robed Old Man and nodded.

"Miss Chu, our Western Region Branch Pavilion is quite different from the Central Region Main Pavilion."

"So, I have arranged for our branch's young pavilion master to take you on a tour of our Western Region Branch Pavilion."

A glint appeared in Chen Yan's eyes as he waved his hand, signaling Ning Feng to step forward.

His plan had to succeed this time; only then would he have a chance to become the Chief Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion in the Central Domain.

He hadn't been able to find an opportunity before.

Later, he thought for a long time before coming up with a way: to target the Pavilion Master's daughter, Chu Ningyue.

Chu Duanjiang, the Master of the Treasure Pavilion, doted on his daughter, Chu Ningyue, the most.

If he could find a way to control Chu Ningyue, he would surely be able to slowly swallow up Chu Duanjiang's faction.

The most suitable candidate he found was Ning Feng.

"The opportunity has come."

"Senior Chen is truly amazing!"

Ning Feng couldn't take his eyes off Chu Ningyue from the first moment he saw her.

He instantly fell in love with Chu Ningyue at first sight.

"This is the kind of Dao Companion I, Ning Feng, should be looking for."

Then, Ning Feng smiled confidently, walked up to Chu Ningyue, and said in a gentle tone:

"Miss Chu, my name is Ning Feng, and I am the branch's young pavilion master."

"Next, I will take you on a tour of the Treasure Pavilion's Western Region Branch Pavilion."

"No need, I've been here before."

"Young Miss, let me show you around!"

Xiaodie, the maid beside Chu Ningyue, stepped forward and spoke directly.

She had been to the Treasure Pavilion's Western Region Branch Pavilion several times before to help Chu Ningyue collect certain Heaven And Earth Treasures, so she was very familiar with the place.

Ning Feng was instantly displeased, and a trace of gloom appeared on his face, though it quickly vanished. He still said with a face full of smiles:

"It's alright, Miss Chu. I can accompany you, and you can ask me if you have any questions."

"No need."

Chu Ningyue frowned slightly and shook her head.

She had noticed the fleeting gloom on Ning Feng's face just now.

Just because her maid Xiaodie had said something and refused his offer to lead the way, Ning Feng had shown such an expression. He was clearly not a gentleman and was quite petty.

It was better to stay away from him.

Thinking of this, Chu Ningyue looked at Chen Yan and said:

"Elder Chen, there's no need to arrange for someone to follow me."

"Xiaodie will show me around."

"Alright, since Miss Chu has spoken, we will do as you say!"

"I will arrange accommodations for Miss Chu."

Chen Yan said with a smile.

Then, he signaled Ning Feng to withdraw with his eyes.

Ning Feng had no choice but to retreat.

He clenched his fists in frustration, watching the three of them enter the Treasure Pavilion. He thought to himself:

"Damn it! I was so close to getting near Chu Ningyue. It's all that maid's fault for getting in the way!"

Elder Yu's figure appeared in Ning Feng's mind. He stroked his beard and said calmly:

"Fenger, don't be in a hurry."

"There is still plenty of time!"

"Chu Ningyue will be staying at the branch pavilion for several days."

"You will have plenty of opportunities."

Chen Yan will help you when the time comes."

"You're right, Elder Yu!"

After a moment, Ning Feng calmed down.

"Ning Feng, come to my room. I have some matters to discuss with you."

Chen Yan sent a voice transmission directly to Ning Feng.

"Okay."

Ning Feng immediately followed Chen Yan into the Treasure Pavilion.
