60: Su Lianxue is shy

“I tell you, that is someone even the Chu Family treats with courtesy. He might be a powerful figure from the Upper Realm who has descended, so we naturally must be respectful.”

“Did you find out his name, the Chu Family’s person?”

“It seems he’s not from the Chu Family. The message from the Saintess suggests his surname is Jun…”

“Anyway, no matter what, just treat him well, and everything will be fine.”

“By the speed of the wooden boat, it will still take some time to arrive. I just happen to have a jar of century-old fine wine for the welcoming banquet later.”

In Guan Xue Holy Land, the Holy Lord and a group of Elders gathered to discuss how to receive Jun Lingxiao.

They all began to calculate their resources.

And just then, the entire hall suddenly began to shake violently.

“Enemy attack?!” In an instant, the expressions of several seated Elders changed.

But it was only a momentary change; after all, their Guan Xue Holy Land’s sect-protecting array was not a joke.

“Someone!” The Guan Xue Holy Lord immediately called for someone to investigate what had happened.

But as soon as the hall doors opened, they were stunned.

I can’t do anything about the color scheme, please bear with it.

“!!!”

“This is…?”

They saw sixteen plumes of black smoke rising from Guan Xue Holy Land, no more, no less. And this black smoke was none other than the locations of the sect-protecting array’s core.

“The array… it’s broken?” An Elder murmured, looking at this scene, his eyes full of disbelief.

They looked up and indeed saw the light curtain of the sect-protecting array slowly disappearing. And what first entered their eyes… was a massive golden boat with black edges slowly approaching.

The colossal boat, which blotted out the sky, stopped above everyone’s heads, yet it showed no signs of attack. This could only mean one thing… the adult from the Upper Realm had arrived.

“Let’s go, to welcome that adult.”

The Holy Lord sighed heavily, then took the lead and flew towards the distance.

A flying boat of this Rank… it seems this adult is probably not as simple as just being from the Upper Realm. I only hope we don’t bring disaster upon ourselves… “Han Feng! Look! What is that??”

“My heavens, what a huge flying boat! It’s my first time seeing such a massive flying boat, it must be half the size of Guan Xue Holy Land, right? I wonder which important figure has arrived.”

At the foot of the Holy Land’s Miscellaneous Peak, Han Feng and the chubby man next to him naturally saw this scene.

Han Feng remained unmoved, but the chubby man seemed very excited, constantly nudging Han Feng: “Hey! Han Feng, do you think such an important figure wouldn’t specifically come to watch the Outer Sect Competition?”

“Then you really need to perform well this time! If such a person takes a liking to you, you’ll directly ascend to the heavens in one step!”

Han Feng listened to the chubby man’s words and also looked up at the giant flying boat in the sky with a slight longing, then shook his head and lowered his head to continue tidying his clothes.

“How could such a figure come to watch the Outer Sect Competition? If he were to watch, he’d go to the Inner Sect.”

“Moreover, my destiny is mine, not heaven’s!”

“There’s no such thing as relying on someone to ascend to the heavens in one step. The only thing I can rely on is my own two fists.”

Han Feng finished speaking and tidying up, clenching his hands. He felt his condition was unexpectedly good today.

Winning a place in the Outer Sect Competition and entering the Outer Sect was just the first step. After that, he would enter the Inner Sect, reclaim everything that belonged to him, and then, avenge all the humiliation he had suffered!

Especially that Fan Zuo! Relying on his identity as a True Disciple and his power, he constantly pestered Su Lianxue and harassed her! Even after he became a cripple, he sent people to frequently cause him trouble!

After returning to the Inner Sect, the first person he would settle scores with was Fan Zuo!

【Kid, don’t let hatred blind your eyes. Your Physique is special, and you’ve just managed to Cultivate this Profound Qi. This power is different from their Spiritual Qi. Anyway, you’ll know in the future. One of the rewards for first place in this Outer Sect Competition is useful to me, you must win it.】

“Of course, Senior, that’s what I intend to do.”

After finishing his conversation with the Senior in his mind, Han Feng also tidied up, pulled the chubby man, and left the small house, walking up the mountain.

Along the way, the chubby man kept chattering non-stop, as if he really wanted to go up to the flying boat to see what kind of scene it was.

“Holy cow, we’ve walked for so long and are still at the tail of this flying boat. My goodness, how big is this thing??”

“Oh, right, Han Feng, I forgot to tell you.”

“Yesterday, when I went to gather information, I heard some news you’ll definitely be interested in.”

The chubby man said, winking at Han Feng, as if certain he would be interested.

“Oh? Tell me?”

Han Feng currently only wanted to win a place in the Outer Sect Competition and enter the Outer Sect; he really had no time to think about other things. But seeing his friend like this, he still asked, indulging him.

“Fan Zuo… is dead!”

“He’s dead??”

Hearing this, Han Feng’s steps suddenly halted, a bit bewildered.

“He’s the second young master of the Fan Family, with immense power in his family. His Elder brother is an acclaimed Prodigy, renowned throughout the world. He himself is also a Holy Land True Disciple. Who would dare touch him?”

He had planned to seek revenge later, but now he’s actually dead??

“I don’t know, it seems he died in Guan Nan City. Not only him, but several of his cronies also died, directly beheaded! It was extremely gruesome.”

“What’s even more outrageous is that I heard his body lay on the street for a day, and no one dared to collect it. It was only secretly picked up and buried at night.”

“There’s a rumor that… it seems it was the work of the Upper Realm adult who caused a stir some time ago. I wonder if that adult is on this flying boat.”

“If he is, maybe we can also see what people from the Upper Realm look like.”

The chubby man said, his face full of longing, but Han Feng seemed dismissive of it.

“Just seeing is enough? You wait, maybe one day we two can also go to that so-called Upper Realm.”

Carrying a small cauldron, Cultivating a different Profound Qi than others, and also having the guidance of a Senior.

Guan Xue Holy Land was just a starting point; his stage was far beyond that.

“Tsk, still going to the Upper Realm, you’re just bragging.”

“Really, I’ll definitely take you to the Upper Realm one day. Of course, if you’re still alive then.”

“Go, go, go, talking about bad luck, are you cursing me? You should know that I, your young master, have lived until now by being stable, not competing or snatching. Who could possibly touch me?”

The two bickered all the way to the Outer Sect Competition grounds. Han Feng looked at the chubby man, who was still chattering non-stop, and was filled with emotion.

Ever since his reputation as a Genius became a joke, all the people who had flattered him disappeared. Only this chubby man truly treated him as a friend.

Thinking of this, Han Feng secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely take the chubby man to the Upper Realm he longed for one day!

“…”

“Divine Son Your Highness, please…”

Su Lianxue was still in shock, but the Spiritual Boat had already landed. She glanced at the Disciples below, then walked to the exit and made a gesture of invitation.

“You are not of my clan. Isn’t it awkward to keep calling me Divine Son?”

Jun Lingxiao glanced at her indifferently, then disembarked from the Spiritual Boat.

Su Lianxue was stunned to hear this, then for some reason, a faint blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head slightly and softly responded:

“Yes, Your Highness…”

‘Does this mean he already considers me one of his own?’

Su Lianxue thought this to herself, unaware that this scene had completely changed in the eyes of the Disciples watching below, immediately causing a huge uproar!

“My heavens, did you see that? The man said something to the Saintess, and her face instantly turned red!!”

“I saw it too! The Saintess is shy! I thought the Saintess was always aloof and otherworldly, but it turns out the person who could make her show such a delicate demeanor hadn’t appeared yet!”

“What’s that man’s background? Such a huge flying boat, and looking at the Saintess, could he be interested in her?”

“Not just that, look at that man’s expression; it hasn’t changed from beginning to end. It’s probably unrequited love!”
