19: Xu Tian, the Chosen One of the Nine Heavens, is secretly ruthless and iron-blooded.
"Senior Sister, that's not right of you. Are you using me, your Junior Brother, as a human shield?" Cao Meng said with a chuckle.
Fairy Qing Luan smiled faintly: "Yang Ye's Sui State Duke's Residence has deep roots and, along with the Wu family, is known as the 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix' of the Wu Zhou Imperial Dynasty. This Yang Ye is the leader of the Yang family's third generation. Not long ago, the Yang family requested a marriage decree from Master, but Master refused."
"So that's how it is." Cao Meng glanced at Fairy Qing Luan with a smile, "Senior Sister, aren't you afraid the Yang family will chop me up for doing this?"
"How dare they!" Fairy Qing Luan's spiritual eyes swept over Cao Meng, and she laughed: "Besides, Little Junior Brother, you've become a Dragon overnight. Are you going to stand by and watch your Senior Sister be bullied?"
"No way!"
"See?" Fairy Qing Luan smiled sweetly, "Oh, and Junior Brother, when you see Xu Tian later, please be a little patient. After all... he's Master's son, so we should show respect for Master's sake."
"That depends on whether he acts like a human..."
Sleeping Dragon Courtyard.
The residence for newly admitted Disciples of White Deer Academy.
Although Xu Tian was a new Disciple, upon his admission, he displayed strength that crushed most of the old Disciples in the Qi Sea Realm, so he was assigned a secluded, detached small courtyard.
The two arrived at the courtyard entrance, where a slender young girl in a purple thin dress was already waiting.
"Fairy Qing Luan, Young Master Cao, please come in."
Entering the small courtyard, they saw a long-faced young man in a purple robe, with a rather handsome appearance, half-reclining on a bamboo chair. On either side, two stunning maidservants attended to him meticulously.
This person was Xu Tian.
Opposite Xu Tian, an old man with white hair, wearing a dilapidated long gown, leaned against the railing, holding a wine gourd, his eyes hazy with intoxication.
A foul odor could be smelled from a distance.
"Sword Demon Li Daoxuan?" Cao Meng's eyes narrowed slightly.
The old man seemed to sense something, lifted his head, and a glimmer of spiritual light flashed in his cloudy old eyes.
"Oh?"
"Ah!"
As soon as Xu Tian saw Fairy Qing Luan, his eyes immediately fixated on her.
Senior Sister Qing Luan's beauty was beyond words, but what was truly captivating was her ethereal and stunning temperament... The four maidservants around Xu Tian were all beauties of national renown, but compared to Fairy Qing Luan, they were slightly inferior. If her temperament was also considered, it was a complete crushing.
Young Master Xu Tian had known since childhood that his mother had two peerless Prodigies by her side. In his heart, he had long regarded these two Senior Sisters, whom he had never met, as his future wives.
He had already met Junior Sister Nether Pupil.
She was a vibrant and Peerless Grade little sprite.
After meeting Nether Pupil, he had always looked forward to meeting his Senior Sister.
Now~
At their first meeting, Xu Tian was captivated by his Senior Sister's beauty and demeanor.
However, in the next moment, he froze.
His gaze fell on Cao Meng and Fairy Qing Luan's clasped hands.
A hint of hostility flashed across his handsome face, which was slightly distorted by wine and women.
"You are Cao Meng?"
As Xu Tian scrutinized Cao Meng, Cao Meng was also observing the Empress Revered Master's adopted son.
"Qi Sea eighth level? How could this be... Didn't this kid not yet Cultivate? I also Plundered his dragon tiger golden elixir, so how could he still..."
In his surprise, he cast an Appraisal Technique.
[Xu Tian: Heir of the Prince of Yanbei of the Great Liang Dynasty, a Reincarnation, his previous life was Li Yan, a Prodigy of the Sword Dao of the Li Imperial Clan. He perished twenty-five years ago during the rebellion of the Eight Pillar States. After his death, his true spirit was entrusted to a Nine Revolutions Spirit Fruit. Empress Wu Feiyan mistakenly consumed the spirit fruit, and he was born through her. Raised in the Yanbei Royal Residence since childhood, he has now Awakened part of his past life's memories, and his Sword Dao Realm has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Cultivation: Golden Core initial Realm
Talent: Flame spirit sword Body [Heaven Grade]
Nine Tribulations Chongyang Saint Body [Saint Grade+]: Born with nine lives, Rebirth after death, long-lasting Luck.
destiny value: 9114 [Ninth Heaven Fated One] [Plunderable] [Danger]
Thoughts: Little Brat, how dare you covet my woman? You truly don't know your place. Do you really think that just because Wu Feiyan took you as a personal Disciple, I will spare your life? Ridiculous... How can the seven absolute spirit swords be without your life to sacrifice?]
"Ninth Heaven Fated One, Nine Tribulations Chongyang Saint Body?"
Cao Meng's expression changed slightly.
He had known this kid's destiny was extraordinary, but he didn't expect his talent to be so astonishing.
Reincarnation.
Saint Grade+ talent.
And born with nine lives, Rebirth after death?
Of course, what shocked Cao Meng the most was this kid's background, which was incredibly bizarre.
This child's previous life was Li Yan, a Sword Dao Genius of the Li Imperial Clan.
He died during the rebellion of the Eight Pillar States of Great Zhou, and this rebellion also led to the decline of the Li Imperial Clan's imperial power, with the throne falling to Empress Wu Feiyan, the leader of the military faction that led the Eight Pillar States.
This was a case of accidentally being reborn into the womb of his enemy.
However, in Cao Meng's opinion, Empress Revered Master was not his true mother, because he was a spirit fruit Reincarnation and spent less than a day in Empress Revered Master's womb.
It was like the legendary Peacock Great Bright King Mother of Buddha or King Wen of Zhou spitting out his sons; it was merely a nominal relationship.
"No wonder, even though I went against Wu Feiyan, it didn't reduce his destiny value much... It turns out this 'mother and son' pair are actually enemies."
"Audacious!" The beautiful maidservant beside Xu Tian saw Cao Meng staring at Xu Tian and scrutinizing him, and immediately became furious.
"Why aren't you kneeling when you see Young Master! Is this how you serve as a servant?"
As she spoke, another voluptuous young girl picked up a black leather whip from the side and lashed it towards Cao Meng's face.
"Servant?" A hint of malice flashed across Cao Meng's face.
A ray of light from the shen ya sword at his waist~
Pfft~
The long sword sliced across the swan-like neck, and a beautiful head flew into the air.
"This sword..." Swoosh~ The Old Sword Demon, leaning against the railing, showed a trace of surprise on his face. He flashed and appeared beside Xu Tian.
His cloudy old eyes stared intently at the shen ya sword in Cao Meng's palm.
His face was filled with greed~
Aside from the Old Sword Demon, everyone present was stunned.
No one expected Cao Meng to be so ruthless.
He killed instantly, and he killed a stunning beauty.
That young girl was one of the four maidservants carefully trained by the Prince of Yanbei for his adopted son. Her Cultivation had reached the Peak of the Qi Sea Realm, and in the Jianghu, she was a well-known first-rate expert.
However, in front of Cao Meng, she lost her head without even a chance to react.
Looking at the beautiful head that had fallen to the ground and bounced twice, Xu Tian was bewildered.
After a few seconds~
"Hongxiu!"
His confidante who had accompanied him for ten years had vanished in the blink of an eye. Young Master Xu's eyes were bloodshot with rage.
"Scum, how dare you kill my woman! I'll have your life~"
Clang~
Young Master Xu casually drew the long sword from another maidservant's waist, raised the blade, and slashed at Cao Meng.
"Stop!"
Fairy Qing Luan flashed and stood in front of Cao Meng, her slender fingers clamping Xu Tian's long sword with lightning speed.
"Qing Luan, get out of my way!"
"Junior Brother Xu Tian, I'm doing this for your own good!" Fairy Qing Luan said unceremoniously.
"For my good?" Xu Tian was enraged to the extreme, and his gaze towards Fairy Qing Luan was filled with hidden killing intent.
Fairy Qing Luan said in a deep voice: "The Academy's ironclad rule states that Disciples are not allowed to fight privately. If you actively attack Junior Brother Cao, it will be a grave offense!"
"Grave offense?"
Xu Tian's eyes widened, and his teeth gnashed: "This beast committed an offense against a superior and killed my maidservant. Doesn't that count as a grave offense?"
"No."
Fairy Qing Luan shook her head, "This woman is not an Academy Disciple. She insulted and actively attacked an Academy Disciple within the Academy. Junior Brother Cao's action of suppressing and killing her is not inappropriate!"
"What the heck?"
