156: Meet Senior Sister, No. 1 on the Heavenly Ranking

At the peak of Yunxia Peak.

In front of the main hall, on the spacious marble plaza.

Mo Konglan stood holding a flute, still in a black dress, with a dark purple butterfly hair accessory, giving her an ethereal and mysterious aura.

Not far away, a group of passing female Disciples noticed her, and their faces were filled with adoration.

The Young Miss was their Yunxia Peak's Senior Sister, and she had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Qi Gathering Realm at the age of twenty-five. Such a talent was truly rare in a hundred years.

“Senior Apprentice Sister Mo…”

A young man in brocade clothes came forward, forcing a smile, and said, “I just arrived at Yunxia Peak and saw you. We truly have a connection.”

“Look! It’s Wang Chen from Yunhuang Peak, he’s come to find Senior Apprentice Sister Mo again!”

“Senior Brother Wang, at such a young age, has already broken through to the ninth level of the Condensing Core Realm and was accepted as a Personal Disciple by the Elder of the Main Peak. Not long ago, he even defeated the number one on the Heaven Ranking, becoming the new top ranker. He is truly an unparalleled Prodigy!”

“Since Senior Brother Wang is so outstanding, why must he be fixated on Senior Apprentice Sister Mo? Can’t you come look at me?”

“Your looks aren’t even a tenth of Senior Apprentice Sister Mo’s. You wouldn’t even qualify to be Senior Brother Wang’s concubine.”

“Senior Apprentice Sister Mo doesn’t even care for a Prodigy like Senior Brother Wang, so what man could possibly catch her eye?”

Noticing the two figures, everyone began to discuss animatedly.

A trace of coldness flashed in Mo Konglan’s eyes at the man’s attempt to flirt: “Junior Brother Wang, speak directly. There’s no need to waste words.”

Wang Chen was slightly embarrassed but spoke frankly: “I heard that Senior Sister is going to Hidden Sword Manor today to participate in the Sword Comprehension Ceremony. I specifically came to ask if you’ve found a Dao Companion yet. If you haven’t yet…”

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Konglan interrupted: “I’m sorry, Junior Brother Wang, I’ve already found a Dao Companion.”

Wang Chen’s expression changed slightly, and he chuckled: “Haha, what a coincidence. I was just about to invite you to comprehend the Sword together. I didn’t expect you already had someone in mind.”

“Yes, do you have anything else?”

“No, but Junior Brother is a bit curious, who is your Dao Companion? Could it be Senior Brother Zhao of Yunbing Peak?”

“No.”

“Then who is it?”

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

As soon as he spoke, Lin Yuan descended from the sky, landing beside the black-dressed Young Miss.

“I’m sorry, Senior Sister, for making you wait.”

Lin Yuan cupped his hands towards her, speaking with a hint of apology.

“It’s alright, Junior Brother. I didn’t wait long.”

Mo Konglan turned to look at the young man, a faint smile curving her lips.

Her exquisite beauty combined with that smile left everyone stunned.

“So beautiful! Senior Sister truly lives up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman on our Peak!”

“Who is that man? He actually made Senior Sister smile?”

“To be treated like this by Senior Sister, he must not be an ordinary person!”

“I know him, he is Lin Yuan, the Sect Master’s Personal Disciple.”

Sect Master’s Disciple!

Everyone was greatly shocked!

Lin Yuan’s achievements in the Inner Sect Assessment were already well-known, but since he rarely appeared, this was the first time the Disciples had seen his true face.

“So he’s Junior Brother Lin, no wonder he knows Senior Sister.”

“Genius individuals attract each other. Could Senior Sister have developed feelings for Junior Brother Lin because of this?”

“Junior Brother Lin is so handsome, even I, this Young Miss, can’t help but want to get closer to him.”

“Compared to Junior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Wang’s appearance is still quite a bit lacking.”

The voices of the crowd reached Wang Chen’s ears, causing a flame to ignite in his heart.

So what if he’s the Sect Master’s Disciple? So what if he’s handsome? Isn’t he still a Junior? Who knows if he’ll ever truly grow up in the future.

His heart was filled with jealousy, but on the surface, he spoke politely: “You are Junior Brother Lin Yuan? You are indeed a talented individual.”

Lin Yuan looked at him, puzzled: “You are?”

Wang Chen wanted Mo Konglan to introduce him, but the Young Miss remained silent, so he could only awkwardly introduce himself: “My name is Wang Chen, Disciple of Elder Su from Yunhuang Peak.”

Lin Yuan said in surprise: “So it’s a Senior Brother from the same Peak, my apologies for the oversight.”

Wang Chen nodded lightly and asked directly: “Junior Brother Lin, why are you here looking for Senior Apprentice Sister Mo at this moment?”

Lin Yuan glanced at the Young Miss, and seeing no reaction from her, he frankly stated: “Senior Sister invited me to be her Dao Companion and participate in the Sword Comprehension Ceremony together.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked again!

They had all been guessing who Mo Konglan would invite to comprehend the Sword with, but they never expected her to invite Lin Yuan, who had just entered the Sect.

This truly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: “Hahahaha! Junior Brother, don’t joke around. Comprehending the Sword requires one’s own comprehension of Sword Intent to increase the success rate. Since you’re not a Yunbing Peak Disciple, you probably haven’t cultivated the Sword, have you? Why would Senior Sister invite you?”

These words caused most people to nod in agreement.

In terms of Sword Dao talent, Mo Konglan indeed had no reason to choose Lin Yuan.

Who knew the black-dressed Young Miss would say: “Junior Brother Wang, you are mistaken. The person I invited is indeed Junior Brother Lin.”

Wang Chen was stunned again.

“This… Senior Sister, why would you invite him?”

“He and I have a connection.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes.”

“No, then you could have invited me too. My cultivation is higher than his, and I have also cultivated the Sword Dao. By any measure, I’m more suitable than him.”

Mo Konglan shook her head: “I only value connection; nothing else is important.”

“Then do I not have a connection with you?”

“Among all the male Disciples in the entire Cloud Ripple Sect, I only have a connection with Junior Brother Lin. Do you understand now?”

“…”

Wang Chen’s face was grim, his fists clenched, and his gaze was like a knife, scraping across the young man.

This damned fellow, how could he receive Senior Apprentice Sister Mo’s special attention?

Everyone else also looked at Lin Yuan, though most of their gazes were filled with curiosity and admiration.

Because Yunxia Peak consisted almost entirely of female Disciples, no one there would be jealous of him.

Lin Yuan was speechless for a moment.

He never expected that coming to an appointment would inexplicably lead to him being treated as a love rival.

Indeed, beautiful women are always doted upon wherever they go.

Given Senior Apprentice Sister Mo’s beauty, she probably has far more than just Wang Chen as a suitor.

He would likely face constant trouble in the future.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly spoke: “Junior Brother Lin, do you dare to fight me?”

“Ah? Why fight?”

“Since Senior Apprentice Sister Mo values you so much, you must have some extraordinary qualities. I, your Senior Brother, can’t help but want to test what exactly Senior Sister sees in you.”

After speaking, he added: “My cultivation at the ninth level of the Condensing Core Realm should be a bit higher than yours. I can suppress it to the same Realm for the fight, so it won’t be considered bullying you.”

Lin Yuan mused: “I can accept your challenge, but I also want to ask, Senior Brother, your cultivation is only at the Condensing Core Realm, right? How dare you pursue Senior Apprentice Sister Mo, who is in the Qi Gathering Realm?”

Wang Chen said proudly: “What if she’s in the Qi Gathering Realm? With my talent, I’ll catch up to Senior Sister sooner or later. At that time, I’ll also have the chance to become Dao Companions with her and become a beautiful story.”

“Ambitious. Then I won’t waste time, let’s fight directly.”

Lin Yuan praised him, then heard Mo Konglan open her lips: “He is the number one on our Sect’s Heaven Ranking, Junior Brother Lin, you must be careful.”

“Number one on the Heaven Ranking?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan’s lips curved into a smile: “So, if I defeat Senior Brother, I’ll be the new top ranker on the Heaven Ranking, won’t I?”
