84: Don't call me saint, call me Ran Zhi!

Wei Shengwu chuckled, his eyes darting around, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing this, the Black-Robed Old Man smiled, shook his head, and vanished from the main hall in a flash.

...

“Su Shengzi, this is your residence.”

Wei Ranzhi pointed to a courtyard in front of them and said.

This courtyard was right next to Wei Ranzhi’s own residence, with small bridges and flowing water, and rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, making it an excellent blessed land.

“Thank you.”

Su Changqing said with a smile, cupping his hands.

A rare, faint smile appeared on Wei Ranzhi’s usually calm face; though subtle, it was stunning.

“My father has prepared a banquet for you tonight; I will come find you later.”

“Alright.”

Su Changqing nodded with a smile, then walked in with Ancestor Xuan.

Wei Ranzhi watched Su Changqing enter the room before leaving.

“Changqing, this old man thinks that Limitless Demon Sect Holy Maiden has a bit of a thing for you.”

Ancestor Xuan said with a grin, raising an eyebrow at Su Changqing.

Tsk tsk tsk.

He was an experienced man; although Wei Ranzhi was as frosty as ever, the way she looked at Su Changqing always held a certain difference.

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing simply rolled his eyes at Ancestor Xuan.

Damn.

If Revered Master knew I said that, she would definitely kill me.

“Cough cough, Ancestor Xuan, you shouldn’t talk nonsense.”

“I’m not talking nonsense. In my opinion, not only is the Limitless Demon Sect Holy Maiden pleased with you, but even that Wei Shengwu kid admires you greatly. I think he probably wants you to be his son-in-law.”

Ancestor Xuan chuckled, his words carrying a hint of teasing.

Although he hadn't interacted much with Wei Shengwu, he knew his character; he was very arrogant, rarely putting anyone in his eyes, and was a man of his word within the Sect.

Yet, he was surprisingly amiable towards Su Changqing.

Something was off.

Nine out of ten things felt off.

Su Changqing: “…”

Damn it.

This topic couldn’t be discussed anymore; if Revered Master found out, he would be finished.

After Ancestor Xuan teased him for a while, he left.

Su Changqing sat on the bed, while Wangcai circled him, obediently munching on Medicinal Pills.

As the Tai Xuan Sect Saint, his pet beast naturally wouldn’t lack Medicinal Pills, or even high-grade Medicinal Pills, especially since Su Changqing himself was a sixth-grade Alchemist.

“The Wuji Demon Sect side is settled; next, it depends on the Heaven Sword Sect.”

“As long as the Heaven Sword Sect is dealt with, this alliance of the Four Great Sacred Grounds will be complete.”

“At that time, not only will we be able to eliminate those annoying monks from Zen Heart Temple, but we will also acquire a large amount of resources.”

“Killing and arson lead to wealth” was absolutely true.

After eradicating the Purple Firmament Divine Dynasty last time, the Tai Xuan Sect obtained a large amount of resources, most of which were distributed to the Disciples within the Sect, causing their cultivation speed to greatly increase.

The Sect’s strength had surged considerably.

And Zen Heart Temple had even deeper foundations; if it could be eliminated, the cultivation resources the Tai Xuan Sect would obtain would definitely be more than what they gained from the Purple Firmament Divine Dynasty.

And he, as the Saint, would be the biggest beneficiary.

Moreover, there was also System Bro’s mysterious gift package.

Su Changqing secretly planned.

He planned to verbally describe today’s situation into a sound-recording stone, have Ancestor Xuan send someone to deliver it to Mo Ming, and then begin the next step of the plan.

Su Changqing deduced the subsequent events in the room.

After a long time, night fell.

Wei Ranzhi’s voice came from outside the door.

“Su Shengzi, the banquet is about to begin.”

“Alright.”

Su Changqing got up, and along with Wangcai and Ancestor Xuan, followed Wei Ranzhi to the main hall.

Perhaps because Wei Shengwu placed great importance on it, this banquet was of a very high level.

All the Elders of the Wuji Demon Sect were present, along with a group of Prodigy Martial Artists and True Disciples, all seated.

As soon as Su Changqing entered, dozens of powerful auras emanated from the vast hall.

As one of the Five Great Sacred Grounds, the Wuji Demon Sect’s foundation was naturally not weak; those Elders were extremely powerful and domineering.

However, facing these auras, Su Changqing merely smiled faintly, his expression unchanged, as he slowly walked in.

Seeing Su Changqing’s calm and composed demeanor, the Elders couldn’t help but raise their estimation of him.

“Changqing, Ran Zhi, you’re here. Come, sit next to me.”

With that, Su Changqing and Wei Ranzhi entered the main hall, one on each side.

Su Changqing sat below Wei Shengwu, while Wei Ranzhi sat right next to Su Changqing.

Ancestor Xuan sat opposite Su Changqing.

As everyone took their seats, the Disciples of the Wuji Demon Sect finally turned their gaze towards Su Changqing.

His handsome face was composed and utterly calm; the so-called Wuji Demon Sect held no fear in his eyes.

Just this appearance alone was excellent.

“Everyone, this is Su Changqing, the Tai Xuan Sect Saint. Let’s all raise our cups and toast to Changqing.”

Wei Shengwu said with a chuckle.

And when the Disciples heard Wei Shengwu addressing Su Changqing so intimately, their hearts couldn’t help but harbor a few more conjectures.

However, no one dared to defy Wei Shengwu’s command, and they all rose to toast.

Su Changqing returned their toasts with a smile.

As the wine went down, the conversation seemed to open up.

The Elders saw that Wei Shengwu had an extremely good attitude towards Su Changqing, and they all praised him. Su Changqing responded with a smile, and for a time, the guests were all enjoying themselves.

“Ran Zhi, don’t just watch, put some food on Changqing’s plate.”

Wei Shengwu sat at the head of the table, smiling as he spoke to Wei Ranzhi.

Everyone: “?????”

Su Changqing: “?????”

What the hell?

What was going on?

However, before everyone could react, Wei Ranzhi softly uttered an “Oh,” then got up and gently placed a few pieces of spiritual meat into Su Changqing’s bowl with her chopsticks.

These spiritual meats were delicious, rich in Spiritual Qi, and exuded an enticing aroma.

But that wasn’t the point.

The point was!!

The Sect Master actually told the Saintess to put food on an outsider’s plate.

And the Saintess actually agreed.

And…

She even used the chopsticks she had just eaten with.

What the hell was this?

An indirect kiss?

Damn!

In an instant, the eyes of the Wuji Demon Sect Disciples looking at Su Changqing became unnatural, and countless hostile gazes swept over him.

At the banquet, in the third row, a young Disciple dressed in black and purple narrowed his eyes, his face twisting, unable to hide his rage.

“Damn it!”

“Why?”

“Ran Zhi has never treated me like that before.”

Hong Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering with the flames of jealousy.

He was a True Disciple of the Wuji Demon Sect, a True Disciple of the Grand Elder, with a Late Stage Tiangang Realm cultivation. Among the younger generation, his talent and strength were second only to Wei Ranzhi.

All this time, Hong Feng had also been Wei Ranzhi’s loyal worshipper.

He had confessed his love countless times, but Wei Ranzhi always gave him a cold shoulder, let alone such intimate gestures as just now.

“Su Shengzi, eat more.”

Wei Ranzhi said faintly, a slight smile appearing on her calm face; it was very subtle, but Hong Feng accurately caught it.

“Damn it!!”

Hong Feng felt as if his chest was about to explode, as if he had become a cuckold, feeling green with envy.

Su Changqing glanced at the secretly smiling Wei Shengwu, then at the ‘calm’ Wei Ranzhi.

Alright.

These father and daughter, why did they feel like they had ulterior motives?

“Cough cough.”

“Thank you, Saintess.”

Wei Ranzhi: “Don’t call me Saintess, call me Ran Zhi.”

Su Changqing: “???”

Hong Feng: “?????”
