Chapter 226: Breathtakingly Beautiful

“Sect Master, what Gu Ming wants to do is his business. I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first!”

Feeling not in the best mood, she didn’t give Immortal Southern Candle any face, simply dropped a sentence, and turned to leave.

She didn’t reply to his question either.

She couldn’t even figure out what she was thinking, so how could she reply?

Uh…

Watching the disappearing figure at the entrance of the main hall, both Immortal Southern Candle and Gu Ming were somewhat stunned.

The usually gentle, calm, and aloof Shangguan Yunxi actually… got angry!

That was truly a rare sight.

“Yunxi, wait for me…”

Gu Ming quickly recovered, and like a shadow, he instantly rushed out of the main hall, following Shangguan Yunxi closely.

“Hehehe… Interesting. This Heavenly Dao Inheritor is so infatuated with the Holy Maiden. It seems Moyuan has a competitor!”

Watching Gu Ming run out after Shangguan Yunxi, Immortal Southern Candle couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

Within the Immortal Sect, in most cases, the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son were a pair. Their feelings were unconsciously nurtured from a young age.

This ensured that no matter who took over the Immortal Sect in the future, they wouldn’t turn against each other.

The Holy Son, Immortal Ink Abyss, was a descendant of his Sect Master lineage, while Saintess Shangguan Yunxi was found by the Old Ancestor from outside.

Both of them had their emotions nurtured since childhood.

However, Shangguan Yunxi seemed to have no perception of that aspect. After more than ten years, she still hadn’t sparked anything with his descendant.

But now, Shangguan Yunxi had an additional Gu Ming by her side, and he was also a Heavenly Dao Inheritor.

Gu Ming was fully qualified to become a Dao Companion with the Holy Maiden, as long as both of them agreed.

He couldn’t interfere either.

“This is good too. A little pressure will surely make him learn to pursue actively!”

He stroked his non-existent beard and smiled slightly.

His own descendant was too proud for his own good. He clearly liked Shangguan Yunxi very much, but he was too arrogant and wouldn’t take the initiative.

He believed that no one in the world, apart from him, was worthy of Shangguan Yunxi.

Even with the North Frontier causing such a commotion this time, he was very disdainful of coming here, believing that with Shangguan Yunxi present, he wouldn’t need to act.

Now it was good. An admirer had appeared by her side, and a qualified one at that. His descendant should be getting anxious.

“Reporting to Sect Master, Lin Fei has been lost. The other party’s mastery of the Space Great Dao has reached a state of perfection. We simply can’t find him!”

Just as Immortal Southern Candle was still contemplating his descendant’s lifelong matters, a shadow appeared from the void.

The shadow’s figure was illusory, and he slightly cupped his hands in a report.

“What? You also failed?”

Upon hearing this, Immortal Southern Candle immediately sat up from his seat in the hall, his face filled with disbelief.

The small team he had dispatched were all powerful cultivators of the Shadow Dao and the Space Great Dao.

Each of them was a talent rarely seen in a thousand years.

Moreover, they had all reached the realm of Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortals and above, a total of eight people.

Their rare Concealment Great Dao, combined with their terrifying cultivation, had accomplished many things for the Immortal Sect that couldn’t be done openly.

They had almost never failed.

He hadn’t expected them to suffer a setback at the hands of a young man.

“That’s right, Sect Master. The other party’s understanding of space far surpasses ours, and the spatial secret arts he demonstrated are unheard of and unseen by us!”

The person reporting gave a very high evaluation.

This made Immortal Southern Candle’s brows furrow even more tightly.

If that was the case, trying to deal with Lin Fei by force would indeed be difficult.

Unless the Old Ancestor personally intervened.

“Alright, I understand. Give the order to cease monitoring and surrounding this child!”

After a brief contemplation, he waved his hand at the illusory figure, simultaneously issuing the command.

A person that this small team couldn’t catch, even if he personally acted, he wouldn’t be able to catch him.

He could only wait for the Old Ancestor to arrive before making further plans.

“Yes!”

The shadow respectfully cupped his hands in a salute, then silently disappeared into the main hall like a ghost, without causing the slightest ripple.

And Immortal Southern Candle, standing in the hall, slightly furrowed his brows, his deep eyes gazing forward, seemingly lost in deep thought.

Since Lin Fei was as elusive as a loach, he decided to temporarily abandon the pursuit of Lin Fei.

The most important task at hand was to find the person the Old Ancestor wanted.

The place enveloped by the earlier light was Piao Miao City.

All the city residents had seen it, and the place where the light descended was the Long Family in the city.

However, he didn’t know who it was.

Nevertheless, after his extensive covert investigation, he already had a general candidate.

It was the current eldest young miss of the Long Family—Dragon Ziyan.

It was just a pity that she had suddenly vanished without a trace at some unknown time.

Since she disappeared three months ago, she had never reappeared, as if she had completely evaporated from this world.

This situation was almost identical to Lin Fei’s strange disappearance earlier.

For this, he had sent almost all the people he brought, conducting a carpet search within a radius of millions of kilometers.

However.

To his regret, despite this, he still hadn’t been able to successfully find Dragon Ziyan herself.

The only gain was some scattered and fragmented clues.

“It seems I still need to find a breakthrough point with this Lin Yu!”

Immortal Southern Candle murmured.

The clue he obtained was that before Dragon Ziyan disappeared, a man and a woman from Piao Miao Sect had contact with Dragon Ziyan.

And among them, the man was Lin Yu.

This matter was too coincidental, making him unable to help but be suspicious.

However, now was not the time to act against Lin Yu. He still needed to wait until after tomorrow.

After all, his Holy Maiden had previously announced that she would challenge Lin Yu.

If he were to act now, it would give outsiders cause for criticism.

Just one more day, he could afford to wait.

...

Piao Miao Sect, Jade Spirit Peak, Sixth Peak Master Yue Lingxi’s Palace Hall.

Night had fallen deep, and all was silent.

It happened to be the fifteenth of every month. The bright full moon hung high in the ink-colored sky, casting silver light that poured unreservedly through the wide, carved window lattice, illuminating the entire palace hall as if it were daytime.

Inside the palace hall, on the luxurious bed, the thin gauze curtain gently swayed with the breeze.

After a long while, the gauze curtain gradually stopped moving!

Within the curtain, Lin Yu slowly lowered his head, gazing affectionately at the beauty in his arms, his heart filled with indescribable comfort and satisfaction.

At this moment, Yue Lingxi’s beautiful eyes were gently closed, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows on her cheeks, like a sleeping fairy.

Her delicate body lay lazily in Lin Yu’s embrace, her smooth, jade-like back completely exposed to the air.

Her delicate skin glowed with a soft luster under the moonlight, breathtakingly beautiful, making it impossible to look away.
