67: It's okay, I was just pretending

"Who says she has nothing to do with our Wanhua Sect?"

As Duan Haoming's words fell, Nangong Jing walked directly to the center of the hall, her gaze indifferent as she watched Duan Haohaoming.

Then, she pointed at Murong Qingxue and said coldly, enunciating each word clearly.

"She is a disciple my Master has just taken in. By attacking her so recklessly, do you think our Wanhua Sect is easy to bully?!"

After speaking, a cold glint flashed in Nangong Jing's eyes, as if she couldn't help but attack in the next moment.

Murong Qingxue was dumbfounded upon hearing this. When did she become a Wanhua Sect disciple?!

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Duan Haoming was instantly enraged upon hearing this and blurted out a vulgarity without thinking.

"This woman was neither human nor ghost two days ago and had been staying in the City Lord's Mansion without leaving. In just two days, she's been taken in as a disciple by your Master?!"

"Why don't you say... the red hair all over her body was also cured by your Master?!"

As far as he knew.

The Wanhua Sect Sect Leader had been in seclusion for the past two years, suspected to have suffered some backlash from cultivating her techniques.

If Murong Qingxue had truly been taken in as a disciple by the Wanhua Sect Sect Leader, would she be left alone within the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild?!

"If you're not convinced, let's fight!"

Hearing Duan Haoming's crude words, Nangong Jing's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, and she let out a cold, low shout.

In the next moment.

Without any unnecessary words, Nangong Jing directly unleashed her cultivation and instantly charged towards Duan Haoming.

"Damn crazy woman, I'll defile your grandmother!"

Seeing Nangong Jing shoot towards him, Duan Haoming's expression changed. As his cultivation erupted, he frantically retreated.

At the same time, he roared at the Red-Clothed Old Man.

"Stop her!!"

Nangong Jing's cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Core Formation realm, a full three minor realms higher than his.

Fighting this woman, he could only be utterly crushed!

Almost as soon as Duan Haoming's words were spoken, the Red-Clothed Old Man's figure blurred, charging towards Nangong Jing like a ghost.

But also at this moment.

The Wanhua Sect Elder, who had remained silent, suddenly had flower petals scattering around her.

Her entire being was like a phantom among flowers, and with a flash, she disappeared from her original spot.

Bang!!

In the next moment, as several figures clashed and collided, a muffled explosion rang out like thunder.

Duan Haoming was sent flying a long distance by a palm strike from Nangong Jing, almost flying out of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild's hall like trash.

"Han Xinyue, do you really want to start a war?!"

Seeing Duan Haoming sent flying by Nangong Jing's palm, the Red-Clothed Old Man stared gloomily at the Wanhua Sect Elder.

"A spar between juniors, does it need to escalate to the sect level?"

Hearing the Red-Clothed Old Man's words, Han Xinyue said calmly.

Since the Wanhua Sect and Burning Flame Valley fell out thirty years ago, conflicts between the two sects have frequently erupted.

Juniors fighting fiercely among themselves is also a common occurrence.

But as long as no serious consequences result, such as crippling the opponent's cultivation or causing their body to explode.

The two major sects would not completely fall out again.

"Sirs, although visitors are guests, your fighting like this seems to be against the rules?!"

Just as the Red-Clothed Old Man's face turned gloomy upon hearing this, and his aura became increasingly violent.

As a clear voice drifted over, Zi Luo and her Dao Protector also appeared in the hall.

Looking at the shattered floor of the hall and the somewhat messy surroundings.

Zi Luo glanced at Nangong Jing, Duan Haoming, and the others, then continued speaking with a somewhat cold tone.

"Regardless of who attacked first, all damages to the merchant guild hall today must be compensated according to the price!"

"In addition..."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble on the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild's territory again, the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild will permanently blacklist this person."

Hearing Zi Luo's cold words, Nangong Jing and the others restrained their auras and did not foolishly continue fighting.

"Damn woman, I will repay this debt one day!"

Duan Haoming stabilized the turbulent qi and blood within his body, shouted coldly at Nangong Jing, then casually tossed a spatial ring to Yun Shan.

"Let's go!"

Although their Burning Flame Valley was not afraid of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, they still could not offend it.

After all, the connections and resource-gathering ability that the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild possessed were things their Burning Flame Valley could not compare to.

In the current situation, trying to forcefully take Murong Qingxue away was already impossible.

They could only wait until after the auction ended to see if they could find an opportunity!

"Miss Zi Luo, it was unavoidable just now, we caused you trouble."

Seeing Duan Haoming leave with a frustrated expression, Nangong Jing turned around and said to Zi Luo.

"It's fine, I was just putting on a show just now."

"Miss Murong is a friend of one of our Purple Cloud Merchant Guild Elders. If you hadn't intervened in time just now, she might have encountered quite a bit of trouble."

Zi Luo waved her hand upon hearing this.

Yun Shan had just sent her a voice transmission about what had happened.

She hadn't expected such an unexpected turn of events in the merchant guild hall while she was arranging matters for the auction in the back, which was a moment of carelessness on her part.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Murong Qingxue, otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain to Xiao Chen.

"Murong Qingxue thanks you all for your righteous assistance..."

After Zi Luo's words fell, Murong Qingxue bowed to Nangong Jing and the others.

If these people hadn't intervened today, even if Zi Luo had arrived later to stop it, she would have suffered Duan Haoming's molestation.

Therefore, Nangong Jing and the others' timely intervention saved her innocence.

"So your name is Murong Qingxue. That name is quite pleasant."

Lee Wancheen looked at Murong Qingxue with some curiosity, observing the proud curves that were as full as her own.

An expression of admiration immediately appeared on her face.

What an exquisite beauty.

Not only did she possess a certain special Pure Yin Physique like her, but her appearance and figure were also not inferior to hers in the slightest.

If she could truly be taken in as her junior sister, then her ranking would no longer be the lowest.

"My name is Nangong Jing, this is my junior sister Lee Wancheen, and this is the Wanhua Sect Elder Han Xinyue."

After Lee Wancheen spoke, Nangong Jing also gave a simple introduction, her gaze fixed intently on Murong Qingxue.

"Miss Murong, you possess a certain special Pure Yin Physique. Are you willing to join my Wanhua Sect?"

"Although my Master has not yet come out of seclusion, I can represent my Master and take you in as a registered disciple first."

"When my Master comes out of seclusion in the future, you can formally become her disciple."

After these words fell, Murong Qingxue was slightly stunned, and the surroundings fell into silence.

Zi Luo looked at the few people with a strange gaze.

During the two days Xiao Chen was in seclusion, she had also noticed Murong Qingxue's extraordinary nature and had also extended an invitation to her.

However, Murong Qingxue refused, which left her feeling somewhat regretful.

She hadn't expected the Wanhua Sect to also set their sights on this Pure Yin Physique.

"Murong Qingxue appreciates your kindness."

"However, Murong Qingxue has already sworn in this life to follow Gongzi Xiao, so I can only disappoint you."

Murong Qingxue shook her head upon hearing this, refusing without the slightest hesitation.

In this life, she belonged only to Xiao Chen; unless he explicitly drove her away, she would not leave.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Murong Qingxue's answer.

Neither Nangong Jing nor Lee Wancheen could help but widen their eyes, their faces showing expressions of shock.

Wanhua Sect...

It was one of the top forces within the Great Qian Dynasty, and it was a sect entirely composed of women.

It held immense prestige within the Great Qian Dynasty and was a cultivation holy land that countless women dreamed of.

They hadn't expected Murong Qingxue to refuse without even thinking, and even under the premise of becoming the Sect Leader's disciple.
