105: female imp
"What?"
Pei Qingli was greatly shocked;
Had she been exposed?
But looking at her Beloved Disciple's reaction, it didn't seem like she had seen through Chen Qingxuan's identity.
Afterwards, Pei Qingli asked in confusion, "Susu, Senior Chen just wants to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance to fight against Evil Cultivators... why would you want to kill him?"
"I..."
Jiang Susu hesitated to speak;
Facing her Revered Master's astonished gaze, she finally just said: "Revered Master, just keep an eye on him."
Whoosh—
With that, Jiang Susu broke free from the restraint and directly fled.
"Susu..."
Pei Qingli wanted to stop her but it was too late.
Inside the main hall.
Looking at the beautiful woman who returned alone, Chen Qingxuan walked forward and asked, "Where's Susu?"
"Emm..."
Pei Qingli bit her lip, and could only truthfully say: "She went to the Southern Border to find Qingxue... saying she wants to join forces with Qingxue to kill you."
"What?"
Chen Qingxuan was instantly struck as if by lightning;
"No... why does she want to kill me?"
"I don't know... she didn't say."
"You...?"
Chen Qingxuan was dumbfounded.
Everything was fine and he hadn't been exposed... why would she want to kill him?
At this moment, Pei Qingli guessed: "Do you think there's a possibility that the persona you just put on was too fake... and Susu thinks you don't seem like a good person?"
"Even so, that's no reason to want to kill me!"
Chen Qingxuan looked as if he was questioning his life.
The next moment, he looked at Pei Qingli with dissatisfaction, "And you! What kind of Revered Master are you... how did you teach her to become like this?"
"What does that have to do with me?"
Pei Qingli retorted guiltily.
But after what just happened, she also felt an indescribable complexity.
Although she originally thought the rumors about Chen Qingxuan from the outside world were somewhat exaggerated, the fact that Jiang Susu and Huang Qingxue held such a grudge against him meant the latter must also have some fault... but now, having witnessed it firsthand, Chen Qingxuan hadn't even said a few words before Jiang Susu became hostile... this couldn't help but remind her of the past—
Chen Qingxuan had once cried out about being wronged!
Originally she didn't believe it, but now... she inexplicably felt that The two women seemed to have incompatible fates with Chen Qingxuan.
Their innate magnetic fields just didn't align.
Thinking of this, Pei Qingli inquired: "So what do we do now? Susu has already gone to find Qingxue... should the plan still continue?"
"Continue, of course continue."
Chen Qingxuan didn't hesitate at all.
At this point, there was no turning back... Southern Border, Divine Phoenix Sect.
Inside the main hall.
Huang Qingxue was greatly shocked, "What did you say? Someone who's been in seclusion for over three hundred years... wants to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance to fight against Evil Cultivators?"
"Yes!" Huang Qingxue nodded, "Judging from the aura he released, his strength is probably above both of us... Qingxue, we might need to join forces to kill him."
"Why kill him?"
"Are you stupid? What if he really kills that heartless man, what then?"
"Huh?"
Huang Qingxue was stunned.
Looking at her good sister's serious expression, her beautiful Face changed, "Susu, you... you couldn't possibly be worried about that Evil Cultivator, could you?"
"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Susu flatly denied.
After saying that, she spoke with righteous indignation: "Qingxue, don't you want to personally kill that heartless man? Do you want to see someone else beat you to it?"
"Of course I want to take revenge personally... and shove my foot in his mouth!"
Huang Qingxue couldn't deny it.
But she hesitated again: "But just because of this... we kill someone who has done a favor for your Yihua Palace... wouldn't that be bad?"
"Originally I didn't want to kill him either, I just hoped he wouldn't interfere in this matter." Jiang Susu said seriously, "But you don't know, Qingxue, that old thing acted all righteous, as if he were the most just judge in the world, claiming his life's work was destroyed, insisting on killing that heartless man..."
"If we don't stop him... that heartless man might really die by his hand... by then, you won't be able to shove your foot in his mouth... and I won't be able to sit on him... anyway, we won't be able to take revenge."
By the end, Jiang Susu stamped her jade foot to show the seriousness of the situation.
"..."
Huang Qingxue fell silent.
The moment she remembered that handsome Face engraved deep in her Soul, her body couldn't help but tremble;
Even after so many years, the feeling of being held in Chen Qingxuan's arms and forcibly kissed in public... still felt as vivid as if it were happening now.
Every moment... it stimulated her spirit and body.
But when facing anyone other than Chen Qingxuan, Huang Qingxue remained rational, "Susu, don't get agitated first... I'll accompany you back to Yihua Palace, and we'll discuss it later."
"Okay!"
Jiang Susu didn't object.
And so, the two sisters set off for the Eastern Land... Eastern Land;
Yihua Palace main hall.
Looking at the two sisters who appeared, Pei Qingli asked warily: "Are you two sure you won't cause trouble?"
Jiang Susu spoke first: "Revered Master, I've thought it over, actually I have no grudge against him... I was just speaking in anger at the time."
Huang Qingxue chimed in: "Yes, Senior Pei, even if you don't believe Susu, you should believe me, right? Today we're here in our capacity as leaders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, wanting to meet that Senior Chen. I won't let Susu act recklessly."
"Alright then, wait here first."
Pei Qingli hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.
"..."
The two sisters exchanged knowing smiles.
But looking in the direction Pei Qingli left, Huang Qingxue noticed something, "Susu, I remember that direction... seems to lead to your Revered Master's Sleeping Hall, right?"
"Huh?"
Jiang Susu's smile froze on her Face.
The next moment, she realized belatedly: "It really is my Revered Master's Sleeping Hall... that person... could he be staying in my Revered Master's Sleeping Hall?"
Huang Qingxue thought of something, "Do you think the two of them... might be that kind of relationship?"
"No way?"
Jiang Susu was dumbfounded.
On the other side.
Inside the Sleeping Hall, Pei Qingli didn't waste words, directly informing Chen Qingxuan of the situation, "Now they want to see you, will you meet with them?"
Chen Qingxuan wasn't in a hurry to respond, "What's the atmosphere like? Are they still talking about wanting to kill me?"
Pei Qingli shook her head, "It seems Susu has calmed down, though I don't know how she calmed down, but it's much better than last time, and Qingxue is more sensible..."
"Sensible my foot!"
Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but interrupt.
Among the three talents under contract, she was the most difficult to deal with.
She's practically a sissy!
Since childhood she loved to oppose him, only admitting her mistakes after being disciplined each time, but she'd do it again next time... truly both weak and fond of playing.
Pei Qingli didn't know the secrets behind this, "Are you going over now?"
"No hurry, let's play some foreplay with them first."
"What foreplay?"
"Just do as I say..."
Chen Qingxuan took out two Medicinal Pills while explaining his plan... until Pei Qingli returned.
Jiang Susu looked around, "Revered Master, where is he?"
Pei Qingli first handed over two Medicinal Pills, "Susu, Qingxue, you two refine these two Medicinal Pills first."
"Senior Pei, what are these?"
Huang Qingxue looked curious.
But as she spoke, Jiang Susu had already put the pill into her mouth, a warm current flowing from her throat down to her abdomen.
"Cough... such a strong taste."
Jiang Susu coughed lightly from the irritation.
But before she could say more, the spiritual energy torrent transformed from the pill exploded within her Dantian.
Boom—
A powerful aura erupted from Jiang Susu's body, countless ethereal spiritual energy particles spreading around her, leaping like stars without end.
"Susu?"
Pei Qingli and Huang Qingxue both looked at her simultaneously.
In contrast, Jiang Susu's delicate and pretty Face now showed a look of pleasant surprise. "Wow, what a powerful Medicinal Pill... I feel like my body is about to be filled up... Revered Master, what kind of Medicinal Pill is this?"
Facing the curious gazes of the two sisters, Pei Qingli brought out the explanation Chen Qingxuan had instructed her to give. "This is a Talent Pill, freshly refined by Senior Chen. He is currently cleaning the Pill Furnace and specifically ordered me to bring it for you to use. He will be here soon."
"He refined it?" Huang Qingxue exclaimed in surprise. "Senior Pei, is he a Revered Master proficient in the Dao of Alchemy?"
"It's not quite like that," Pei Qingli shook her head. "After all, refining Medicinal Pills is just one of his most inconspicuous skills. However, his willingness to gift you these pills is a form of care for the younger generation. So, remember to show respect later... especially you, Susu. Last time, Senior Chen didn't hold it against you entirely out of consideration for my Face. You absolutely must not be disrespectful again."
"Oh!"
Jiang Susu bit her small lip and nodded.
As the saying goes, 'He who eats another's food is short-tongued; he who takes another's gifts is soft-handed.'
If only I had known, I wouldn't have eaten it.
Boom—
Subsequently, Huang Qingxue also eagerly took the Medicinal Pill, similarly unleashing a powerful aura.
As the saying goes, 'Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times.'
Although the pill's effects had already been verified from Jiang Susu's experience, now that she had taken it herself, Huang Qingxue truly understood how formidable the Medicinal Pill was.
"Such a full feeling... I feel the power within my body... is about to overflow."
"Right? I feel the same way."
Jiang Susu nodded in agreement.
The two women's gazes met, but there were no smiles on their Faces.
After all, the stronger Chen Qingxuan's abilities and the more methods he possessed, the less confidence they would have in negotiating terms.
"Senior Chen is here."
Pei Qingli reminded them.
The two women looked toward the entrance, where a dignified and imposing figure walked into the hall.
"Hmm?"
Huang Qingxue's delicate body suddenly trembled;
For some reason, the moment she saw him... she felt an indescribable strangeness.
Under Pei Qingli's gaze, Jiang Susu took the initiative to speak. "Senior Chen."
"Mm."
Chen Qingxuan nodded slightly.
Then, in a tone befitting an elder, he said, "Susu, although you disappointed me greatly last time, I am also very happy that you have returned now."
At this moment, Pei Qingli pointed at Huang Qingxue and said, "Senior Chen, this is Qingxue, the one who co-founded the Heavenly Dao Alliance with Susu and is now the Sect Master of the Divine Phoenix Sect."
"Oh?" Chen Qingxuan feigned surprise as he looked over. "So, you are Qingxue. I didn't expect you to be so young... your future is boundless!"
"Senior Chen, you flatter me."
Huang Qingxue snapped out of her strange feeling and maintained her manners by cupping her hands in salute.
However, as she spoke, she kept staring at Chen Qingxuan, but no matter how hard she looked... it felt as though some force prevented her from seeing his true appearance.
She simply assumed it was a personal habit of disliking public exposure and didn't think much of it.
"Susu, what do you want to discuss with Senior Chen?" Pei Qingli opened the conversation.
Jiang Susu glanced at Huang Qingxue, then looked back at Pei Qingli. "Revered Master, could you leave for a moment? We would like to speak with Senior Chen alone."
Before Pei Qingli could respond;
Chen Qingxuan stopped her with a gesture. "You can't leave!"
"Ahem."
The next moment, facing the surprised gazes of The two women, Chen Qingxuan explained, "Palace Master Pei is not an outsider. There is nothing that cannot be discussed in her presence."
"We want to discuss matters related to Chen Qingxuan," Jiang Susu said again. "Revered Master, we would like to speak with Senior Chen alone. Is that okay?"
"This..."
Pei Qingli glanced at Chen Qingxuan.
In the end, she still chose to leave first.
Once only the three of them remained in the hall.
Chen Qingxuan remained vigilant at all times. "Speak, what do you want to discuss?"
Jiang Susu didn't waste words either. "Senior Chen, back then, you proposed that the Heavenly Dao Alliance join forces to deal with that heartless man. We are not entirely unwilling to agree, but we have one small condition."
"What condition?"
"Even if there is an opportunity, you cannot directly kill that Evil Cultivator... you must leave him for us!"
Huang Qingxue interjected.
Facing Chen Qingxuan's stunned gaze, she added, "After all, that Evil Cultivator is utterly devoid of conscience and has committed so many wrongs... simply killing him would be too lenient... we have ways to make him wish he were dead."
"Yes, we've already thought of ways to torment him."
Jiang Susu chimed in.
"?"
Chen Qingxuan felt a black line forming in his mind;
Killing him isn't enough... they also want to torment him until he wishes he were dead?
How absurd... it's not like I've done anything to you two!
The next moment, he shifted his position on the chair, trying hard to remain calm. "May I ask... how do you plan to torment him?"
"We're going to..."
Jiang Susu was about to explain;
But before she could finish, Huang Qingxue interrupted her. "Senior Chen, rest assured, we have many methods to torment him. We will absolutely make him beg for death but find it impossible!"
"What?"
Chen Qingxuan's lips twitched violently. "Isn't that a bit too... ahem, what I mean is, since you two ladies harbor such hatred for him, he must truly be devoid of conscience, right?"
"Of course."
Jiang Susu nodded deeply in agreement.
No one could understand the shadow left by having their feelings toyed with at a young age.
And no one could understand the humiliation of seeing the man they longed for... forcibly kiss their close friend right in front of them.
At this moment, Huang Qingxue spoke again. "I wonder if Senior Chen could agree to hand him over to us for disposal in the end?"
"This... is not a problem."
Chen Qingxuan nodded in agreement.
After all, it wasn't like he could capture himself.
After saying this, he added, "That Evil Cultivator can be handed over to you for disposal. However, I also have a small request."
"What is it?"
The two women exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued.
Chen Qingxuan said solemnly, "As far as I know, that Evil Cultivator is quite powerful and is currently hiding within the Demon Emperor Palace. Even the Demon Alliance can do nothing about him. Since he is such a formidable opponent, the Heavenly Dao Alliance must follow my commands to avoid unnecessary casualties. What do you think?"
"..."
The two women remained silent, simply staring quietly at Chen Qingxuan.
What a joke?
They worked hard to establish the Heavenly Dao Alliance, not to hand it over to someone else.
Moreover, even without Chen Qingxuan joining... they were confident they could deal with Chen Qingxuan in the future.
"Ahem!"
Sensing the atmosphere turning cold, before The two women could refuse, Chen Qingxuan took the initiative to say, "What I mean is... I hope to participate in the Heavenly Dao Alliance's decision-making with you from now on, to avoid unexpected troubles."
"That is acceptable."
Considering Chen Qingxuan's strength, Huang Qingxue readily agreed.
"Then it's settled."
Chen Qingxuan knew when to stop;
After all, trying to take over the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance in one go was truly wishful thinking.
Now that he had successfully infiltrated the Heavenly Dao Alliance's decision-making layer, it could be considered an initial success.
Just then, Jiang Susu suddenly said, "Senior Chen, you want to deal with that heartless man... it's not just to punish evil and promote good, is it?"
"Oh? What makes you say that?" Chen Qingxuan picked up a teacup and took a light sip.
"Is it because that heartless man... once said he wanted to sleep with my Revered Master?"
Pfft—
