151: Beauty is a disaster!

The next day, early morning.

On Lingyun Peak, the Heavenly Blade Great Emperor lectured as usual. What was different from before was that today, he lectured on the path of the Saint Realm, which was still too profound for the current younger generation.

Therefore, the number of listeners at today's lecture was significantly reduced by half.

The younger generation from the major forces were arranged on a nearby side peak.

At this time, on the side peak, Nine Heavens divine radiance poured down like a waterfall, illuminating the entire peak like a divine kingdom or immortal realm.

This was the Heavenly Emperor Grand Ceremony, a rare event in ten thousand years. Forces from all sides gathered here, and the young heavenly pride were full of vigor and arrogance like dragons.

"Look quickly, that's the Grand Saint Child of the Heavenly Sword Imperial Clan! It is said that he has already broken through to King Realm ninth heaven! In terms of cultivation, he is no weaker than super heavenly pride like Nangong Batian and the Heavenly Sword Emperor Daughter, just slightly less powerful than them..."

"This person's aura is terrifying... I wonder what level this person is at among the younger generation of the War Emperor Clan..."

"Is this Qingyue Fairy, one of the Four Beauties of Central Province...? Just as the legends say, she is unbelievably beautiful!"

"It is rumored that Nangong Batian has been pursuing Qingyue Fairy. You shouldn't have any improper thoughts."

"Uh... Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I wouldn't dare have such thoughts. The Nangong Imperial Clan is not something a small Quasi-Emperor Clan like mine can provoke."

The crowd discussed animatedly, occasionally letting out exclamations.

Amidst this dazzling array of stars, a figure in white was particularly eye-catching—Lin Xuan, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, chatting casually with Lin Haoran and a few others.

Although he was only from a Quasi-Emperor Clan, he became famous for defeating Nangong Batian, the Emperor Child of the Nangong Imperial Clan, in the Heavenly Emperor Cave, and even ascended to fifth place on the Central Province heavenly pride ranking.

Therefore, even though Lin Xuan wasn't doing anything at the moment, just chatting and laughing with Lin Haoran and the others in a corner, he was still constantly being watched by many Cultivators.

"Hehe, Brother Xuan, it seems many people are interested in you today."

Lin Haoran stood beside Lin Xuan, his gaze sweeping over the gazes, both obvious and hidden, around them.

Lin Yan grinned, "Of course, the Young Master is someone who can defeat Nangong Batian. These so-called heavenly pride are inherently arrogant like dragons, so they naturally won't let others easily step on them."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. "Today's grand ceremony, we just need to observe the situation."

On the other side, Nangong Batian glanced at Lin Xuan, and the humiliating scene of being publicly defeated by Lin Xuan in the Heavenly Emperor Cave resurfaced in his mind. The gentlemanly image he had painstakingly maintained almost broke down instantly.

But as soon as he thought of the Qingyue Fairy, whom he always had on his mind, being by his side, he quickly suppressed the anger and humiliation in his heart and continued to try hard to maintain his so-called gentlemanly image.

"Qingyue, how about we go together to... (appreciate the sunrise over there)"

Before Nangong Batian could finish speaking, Qingyue Fairy, whose path had been blocked earlier, passed him and walked towards a certain direction with light steps.

As she passed, a fragrant breeze wafted, and everyone also moved aside.

"Qingyue Fairy actually bypassed Nangong Batian, is she going to..."

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone looked in that direction, and at the end of that direction was the pavilion where Lin Xuan and the others were.

Lin Xuan and the others quickly noticed the commotion here. When they looked up, Qingyue Fairy had already arrived before them.

The four of them were a bit confused; they didn't remember knowing each other, and their Lin Family and the Purple Violet Emperor Palace also didn't have much interaction.

At this moment, Qingyue Fairy revealed a fresh smile, and her voice was no longer cold as it used to be. "Purple Violet Emperor Palace, Qingyue, greetings to a few Young Masters!"

"I wonder if Qingyue can sit here?"

Seeing this legendary great beauty appear before them, Lin Haoran and the others were first surprised, then realized something, smiled mysteriously at Lin Xuan, and immediately stood up laughing heartily.

"Haha, I've long heard of Fairy's great name, please!"

Then Lin Yan and Lin Haoran, one on each side, pulled Lin Dong away from the place. "Haha, I suddenly remembered, we still need to go over there to enjoy the sunrise, you guys chat!"

"You guys..."

Lin Xuan was also speechless at these three old sixes who sold out their teammates.

"What, judging by Young Master Lin's appearance, it seems he doesn't welcome Qingyue?"

"Did Qingyue disturb you?"

Indeed!

Lin Xuan thought to himself.

Of course, on the surface, he still smiled and waved his hand, "Hehe, Fairy is joking, nothing of the sort."

"I wonder if Fairy has something?"

Qingyue Fairy snorted softly, "What, can't I get to know the famous Sword God even if there's nothing?"

"I didn't mean that... As for those, they are just empty titles."

"However, Fairy truly lives up to her reputation as one of the Four Beauties of Central Province; she is truly peerlessly beautiful."

Lin Xuan then started the commercial mutual flattery mode.

"Hehehe~ Young Master Lin is quite good at complimenting people."

Qingyue Fairy seemed very satisfied with Lin Xuan's compliment, also looking charming with a smile in her eyes and brows.

It wasn't that no one had praised her before; in fact, quite the opposite. From childhood to adulthood, she had received countless compliments, especially after she became the Emperor Daughter of the Purple Violet Emperor Palace, where she was surrounded by numerous talented young men like stars surrounding the moon.

But she knew that these people were merely coveting her beauty or her status as the Emperor Daughter, so she had never taken their compliments to heart.

Today, however, she even felt a hint of perfunctoriness from Lin Xuan. The people who had tried to approach her in the past had a strong desire deep in their eyes, which she found very repulsive.

But now, she didn't feel any of that from Lin Xuan; she could even feel a faint sense of distance from him.

This made her a little surprised and filled her with curiosity about Lin Xuan...

...

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Emperor Daughter of the Purple Violet Emperor Palace, she wouldn't be interested in our Brother Xuan, would she?"

Lin Haoran and the other two, who were secretly observing from a distance, were having a blast eating melon.

"Uh... Unfortunately, looking at the Young Master's appearance, he doesn't seem to be interested in her..."

"Alas, is Brother Xuan not up to it? If not, let me... It's a pity these fairies are ignorant; they can't see such an excellent and handsome tough guy like me here."

After saying that, Lin Haoran also looked proudly at the nearby pond surface and checked his reflection.

...

These scenes fell precisely into Nangong Batian's eyes, causing him to instantly break down and become extremely angry.

Damn it!

"Bang!"

The wine cup in his hand instantly shattered, and he was like a roaring lion, his eyes filled with endless fury.

He had used every means to pursue Qingyue Fairy for so many years, yet she had never shown him even a hint of a smile. Now, she was smiling radiantly at Lin Xuan, whom she had just met for the first time.

Why!

Why!!!

Where was he inferior to that damned Lin Xuan?

Qingyue, you are mine, mine!!!

You can only be mine in this life, no one is allowed to snatch you!

"Lin Xuan!!! It's all because of you, not only did you steal this Emperor Child's reputation, but now you want to steal this Emperor Child's woman... This Emperor Child will never let you go!"

Nangong Batian attributed all the reasons to Lin Xuan, and killing intent filled his heart.

...

Just then, a sharp female voice suddenly cut through the noise:

"I was wondering who was being so imposing, turns out it's a scoundrel who won by despicable means!"
