193: Chapter 191: Heading to Hengyue Star

Three days later, Jun Mengqing and Gu Shengge left the Jietian Sect together, not bringing any Disciples with them.

When they arrived at the Sect gate, Zhang Shuya was waiting there. Seeing Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She looked around and asked, puzzled, “What’s going on? Are the two of you planning to investigate by yourselves? You’re not even bringing a single Disciple.”

Jun Mengqing hinted, “This journey is perilous, it’s better not to bring anyone, to avoid unnecessary disaster.”

Zhang Shuya’s expression stiffened, and anger surged in her eyes: “Saintess, this Peak Master is merely kindly reminding you, there’s no need to be so sarcastic!”

Jun Mengqing sneered, “This Saintess just doesn’t want to bring anyone, does Peak Master Zhang have a say in it? And is Peak Master Zhang so idle that she has to wait here early in the morning to see this Saintess off?”

Zhang Shuya’s face darkened slightly: “That’s naturally not the case, I merely happened to be here. Saintess, please don’t misunderstand.”

“Let’s hope so!” Jun Mengqing got annoyed whenever she saw this woman and couldn’t be bothered to waste words with her. She pulled Gu Shengge and quickly left.

After they left the Sect gate and traveled a short distance, they heard exclamations from Disciples below. Following their gaze, they saw Saint Lin Chen leading nearly forty Disciples flying through the air outside the Sect gate.

Zhang Shuya really wasn’t waiting for them; she was waiting for Saint Lin Chen. She intimately walked over to Lin Chen’s side, her gaze falling on the several exceptionally beautiful female Disciples behind him, her eyes containing a warning.

Lin Chen, however, seemed completely indifferent, merely perfunctorily responding to Zhang Shuya’s admonishments.

After a while, he seemed to lose patience and unhappily said, “Alright, Junior Martial Uncle, everything that needed to be said has been said. Now, quickly let us leave!”

Zhang Shuya was reprimanded by Lin Chen and only then moved aside.

Lin Chen led them outside the Sect gate. From a distance, he saw Jun Mengqing and Gu Shengge. Upon seeing Jun Mengqing, he took a few steps through the air and soon arrived in front of her.

“Saintess, what a coincidence! Or, shall we travel together, if possible?”

After Lin Chen discovered that Jun Mengqing had only brought Gu Shengge, countless schemes arose in his mind.

“No need, we prefer to be just the two of us. Saint, please return!” Jun Mengqing said coldly.

Lin Chen suppressed his anger and smiled: “In that case, we shall meet again on Hengyue Star.”

He still had some sense of propriety; after being rejected, he left. During this, he occasionally showed a gentle smile to the several exceptionally beautiful female Disciples in his team, appearing like a refined Young Master.

Jun Mengqing watched their departing figures, frowning slightly: “Those three female Disciples are all Core Disciples of the Jietian Sect. They are exceptionally beautiful and extraordinarily talented. I really don’t know what their masters are thinking, allowing them to leave with Lin Chen!”

“A System is extremely covert. Under normal circumstances, unless he says so, no one can know if he has a System. Moreover, this System doesn’t seem to be the type that forcibly changes those women’s wills, but rather entices them through benefits and Opportunities. This is how those women can be fooled,” Gu Shengge said.

Jun Mengqing pondered, “Looking at it this way, it seems those female Cultivators aren’t entirely innocent after all, as they were greedy for resources and Opportunities.”

Gu Shengge smiled: “You can’t say that either. After all, Lin Chen first concealed the price of obtaining those resources and Opportunities. Perhaps they thought they had met their true love?”

As Gu Shengge spoke, he suddenly changed the subject: “So, those three female Disciples know you, right?”

Jun Mengqing nodded: “Yes, years ago when I was Cultivating in the Jietian Sect, I had a good relationship with them. It’s just that after I returned to Qingqiu to Cultivate for a period, we became estranged.”

“So you want to help them?” Gu Shengge asked, puzzled.

“Let’s see how it goes! After all, Lin Chen chose them and has already reported it to the Sect. They have to follow Lin Chen, and I don’t want to get close to that disgusting guy,” Jun Mengqing said.

Gu Shengge understood. The two waited for a long time, estimating that Lin Chen and his group had already teleported away, before heading to the teleportation array.

At the teleportation array, Lin Chen and his group had long since departed. Jun Mengqing, with Gu Shengge, passed through very smoothly. The teleportation array flashed, and their figures disappeared from the array platform.

A moment later, they were teleported to Hengyue Star. This is a Middle Thousand Worlds star under the Zhongtian Star Domain, with billions of living beings. However, the strongest among them are only Soul Transformation Heavenly Mortals. The gap between a Middle Thousand Worlds and a Major Thousand Worlds is still extremely vast.

They were teleported into a desert. The Jietian Sect’s teleportation array platform was probably the only building within a ten-thousand-mile radius.

When the two landed, Lin Chen and his group had not yet left; they were resting below the array platform. They saw Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing, their eyes flickering, but they did not approach to greet them, merely watching them.

These Disciples clearly understood that since they were following the Saint, if they were to get involved with the Saintess and Gu Shengge, what awaited them would inevitably be Lin Chen’s constant petty harassment.

Lin Chen smiled when he saw the two arrive, but the coldness in his eyes never dissipated.

“Mengqing, are you really not coming with us?” He had a smiling face.

Jun Mengqing frowned: “Saint Lin Chen, I have said many times, no!”

She had realized that if she kept avoiding him, this guy would shamelessly keep approaching. It was better to be clear.

After speaking, she quickly left with Gu Shengge, giving Lin Chen no chance to speak again.

After the two quickly departed, the coldness in Lin Chen’s eyes was fully revealed. However, within a few breaths, his expression returned to its gentle demeanor.

He turned and sighed with emotion to the Disciples: “Alas, I merely wanted to be with them, so we could look out for each other. Why does Mengqing misunderstand me so much, always being on guard?”

Below, a male Disciple frowned: “I heard that the man beside the Saintess came from the Qiongsang Domain. It’s probably that wild boy who came to the Zhongtian Star Domain and couldn’t accept the drop from being a Prodigy to an ordinary Cultivator, lacking a sense of security. So he’s instigating the Saintess not to interact with us!”

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly. Thinking carefully, there might really be such a possibility. After all, the Zhongtian Star Domain is vast and boundless, with countless Prodigies. For Cultivators like them, who came from the Eight Directions Spirit Domain, it was normal to temporarily transform from a Prodigy to a Mortal and be unable to accept the disparity.

It’s just that they didn’t expect their Saintess to encounter such a fellow. The key is that he even dared to instigate the Saintess not to be close to them!

They had no ill intentions; bringing them along was entirely for them to look out for each other. That guy truly didn’t know what was good for him!

And Saintess, she also had poor judgment.

Although extremely unwilling to admit it, perhaps only someone like the Saint could be worthy of the Saintess!
