37: Chapter 37 If you keep doing this, I'll be the headline in the Eastern Wilderness tomorrow.

Heavenly Palace Sacred Land.

Sky-Connecting Peak, Falling Moon Hall.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

In the hall, dozens of high-ranking members of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land shouted in unison.

"Strange, why isn't the Sect Master wearing a veil?"

"Who is that young man beside her?"

"This person looks quite ordinary."

Many high-ranking members began to whisper among themselves.

"Let me introduce someone to everyone."

"This is Senior Li, a Grand Elder of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. He will be staying at our Sect for a short while."

Wu Luoluo smiled.

"What? A Grand Elder?"

"Did I hear that right?"

"How is that possible? He looks to be the same age as the Disciples under my command, yet he's actually a Grand Elder of the Taiyi Immortal Sect."

"Did I miss some major event?"

A wave of murmurs filled the hall.

Although they found it somewhat hard to believe, they did not doubt its authenticity; if he didn't truly have the strength of a Grand Elder, their Sect Master wouldn't have introduced him publicly.

The truth of this matter could be easily verified later.

"Greetings, Senior Li."

All high-ranking members of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land bowed respectfully.

To be a Grand Elder of a Sect, one's strength must be at least at the Great Power Realm.

Seeing this, Li Qing smiled and told everyone to dispense with the formalities.

[I really don't want to socialize, but I'll endure it for the sake of the drama.]

[Speaking of which, the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land truly is one of the oldest sacred lands; the Spiritual Qi here is much denser than at the Taiyi Immortal Sect.]

So Brother Qing doesn't like socializing.

Then let's end this quickly.

Wu Luoluo didn't want Li Qing to be unhappy.

"If there's nothing else, you may all leave. I will accompany Grand Elder Li for a walk."

Wu Luoluo started dismissing people and then naturally took Li Qing's arm.

This scene made the high-ranking members' eyes pop out in an instant.

"Hiss."

"What did I just see? The Sect Master actually took Grand Elder Li's arm on her own initiative? She's never given any man a good look before."

"I must be hallucinating."

"It's confirmed; the Sect Master must have removed her veil for Grand Elder Li."

"So, what exactly did I miss?"

"No, I have to go and find out as soon as I leave."

The sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed in the hall.

"What should I do? It seems the Sect Master really has taken a liking to Fellow Daoist Li." Saintess Yin Yue in the crowd appeared somewhat flustered upon seeing this.

[Damn, what on earth is Wu Luoluo doing? If you keep this up, tomorrow's Eastern Wasteland headlines will be about me.]

[No, I must keep my distance from these female protagonists, or trouble will fall right on my head.]

"Sect Master Wu, please behave with dignity." Li Qing lightly shook his arm, breaking free from her hold.

[Hehe, since I didn't give her any Face in public like this, she'll definitely be very angry.]

[Get angry, get angry! It's best if she's so angry she runs away.]

Wu Luoluo was originally a bit angry; she had been so proactive, yet he still bullied her.

However, as soon as she heard Li Qing's inner voice, her anger vanished instantly.

Hmph, you want to drive me away with anger?

Dream on.

What about being a female protagonist? A female protagonist is going to eat your rice.

I'll eat until you're poor.

"Brother Qing, did Luoluo make you angry?" Wu Luoluo looked completely aggrieved.

Li Qing: "..."

[Who are you calling Brother Qing? Are we that close?]

[No, why aren't you following the script? I didn't give you any Face, shouldn't you unleash your ultimate move or just storm off in anger?]

[I have to say, this aggrieved look is actually quite pretty.]

[Crap, Li Qing, what are you thinking? She's a female protagonist, female protagonist, female protagonist! Important things must be said three times—stay away!]

So he thinks I'm pretty.

So happy.

This is so fun.

Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

"Sect Master Wu, we aren't that close, are we?" Li Qing said flatly.

Wu Luoluo blinked her lake-like eyes and reached out to take Li Qing's arm again: "Aren't we close now?"

Li Qing: "..."

[So we're saying this arm absolutely must be held today, is that it?]

[What a sin.]

"You're a Sect Master after all, and so many people are watching." Li Qing rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Why haven't you all left yet?" Wu Luoluo scanned the hall, her Sect Master's aura fully unleashed.

Everyone: "..."

You just realized we're still here?

"Buzz."

Just then, from among the peaks of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land, a golden sword light shot into the sky, reaching the clouds.

[Golden sword light, the Great Golden Moon Sword Art of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land.]

[It's starting.]

Is this the drama he mentioned?

What exactly happened?

Wu Luoluo was very curious.

"What's going on?"

"Someone is fighting within the Sect."

"There's an unfamiliar aura; an outsider has infiltrated the Sect."

"That's the place where the Grand Elder cultivates in seclusion."

The Elders of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land's expressions changed.

The next moment, everyone turned into streaks of light and headed toward the sword light.

Li Qing took a step forward, using Shrinking the Ground to an Inch to bring Wu Luoluo near the golden sword light in a few steps, where they saw a familiar figure.

"Gu Beichen."

Li Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

[Here it comes, the plot where he steals the Moon Soul Fruit has begun.]

At this moment, Gu Beichen was holding a young woman, confronting a middle-aged beautiful woman.

Several other figures stood nearby.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

Wu Luoluo and the other Elders of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land all bowed to the middle-aged beautiful woman.

Li Qing's gaze fell on the middle-aged beautiful woman.

[She is Yue Luoyu, the Great Power Realm expert of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land. She is indeed as beautiful as a painting. With this kind of mature beauty, no wonder Gu Beichen couldn't resist the temptation and was caught peeping at her.]

[This novel is just a harem story; it's full of beauties.]

[The good thing is you see beauties everywhere, and the bad thing is also that you see beauties everywhere.]

Hmph, is the Grand Elder that beautiful? Am I, Wu Luoluo, any worse than her? I haven't seen you praise me like that.

Wu Luoluo was a bit jealous.

"No need for formalities." Yue Luoyu waved her hand.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, what is your intention in infiltrating our Heavenly Palace Sacred Land?" Wu Luoluo said coldly.

Brother Qing said he's here to steal the Moon Soul Fruit. This person's character is truly vile. How blind was I to become one of his harem members?

Hearing this, Gu Beichen's gaze fell on Wu Luoluo, and his eyes instantly lit up.

Gu Beichen could not resist Wu Luoluo's beauty at all.

What a beautiful woman. Revered Master just taught me the Phoenix Reversal Dual Cultivation method. If I could practice Dual Cultivation with her, not only would it be wonderful, but my power would also increase greatly.

A hint of greed immediately appeared in Gu Beichen's eyes.

[Oh boy, look at Gu Beichen's little eyes; he's probably set his sights on Wu Luoluo.]

[That's right! Wu Luoluo was originally yours. Quick, go and win her over.]

Li Qing's eyes lit up.

[Hehe, once Gu Beichen wins over the female protagonist, I can stay completely out of this.]

[Quack quack.]

Wu Luoluo was so angry.

You actually want to push me to that vile person? How much do you look down on me?

No, Brother Qing doesn't dislike me; he dislikes the "female protagonist."

What exactly is a "female protagonist"?

Why does Brother Qing avoid them like the plague?

"Oh, Luoluo, you know this person?" Yue Luoyu said calmly.

"I do. His name is Gu Beichen, the Saint of the Moon Wheel Holy Land. He is lustful, cowardly, and his character is as low as mud." Wu Luoluo nodded.

"Heh, for the Saint of the Moon Wheel Holy Land to infiltrate our Sect, he's truly seeking death." Yue Luoyu sneered.

At these words, the young woman in Gu Beichen's arms became unhappy.

"Aunt, it's not Brother Chen's fault. I'm the one who asked him to come. Today, I must break off the engagement."

[Ding, the System has detected that a drama is ripe. Congratulations to the Host for starting to eat the melon.]
