Volume 1 Chapter 073: The Master of Piaoyou Sect

  "Concubine?" Qin Luo Yi sneered uncontrollably: "Not to mention whether you can become the concubine of the Third Prince, even if you really did, I am the main wife and you are the concubine, our status is clear. If I want to see you, I'll see you; if I don't want to see you, can you still force me to?"

  Du Yu's butterfly energy became even more intense.

  Qin Luo Yi paused for a moment before continuing to add fuel to the fire: "You're just a concubine, to put it bluntly, you're a mistress. What do you have to be proud of in front of me?"

  Du Yu Die couldn't bear it anymore, her eyes blazed with anger, and she retorted: "Qin Luo Yi, what's the use of having the title of Zheng Fei? I've known my cousin since we were kids, our feelings for each other have been building up for over a decade, how can you compare to that? Zheng Fei? A Zheng Fei who doesn't receive any favor, is worthless. Once you enter the palace, just wait to be neglected by my cousin. Every day, watching us two being loving and affectionate, you'll be crying with your precious title of Zheng Fei! Hmph, if it wasn't for your father being a Martial Saint, do you think my cousin would have married you? Ugly freak!"

  "Dragonfly! What nonsense are you spouting?" A low, irritated growl suddenly sounded from behind her.

  Du Yu Die was startled and turned her head around, only to see that her brother had somehow appeared behind her not far away, his handsome face looking gloomy.

  By his side was the stern-faced King of Southern Quelling.

  In an instant, her pretty face turned white and then green, green and then purple, it was really good-looking, she stuttered: "Brother, I..." with a rare look of fluster in her eyes.

  The King of Zhen Nan's eyes were sharp and his gaze was stern, with an aura of majesty emanating from him. His knife-like gaze swept over Du Yu Die: "Unfavored official wife, if it weren't for me, the Third Prince wouldn't have married my daughter? Once my daughter enters the manor, you'll become the concubine of the prince's residence?"

  Du Yucui couldn't help but retreat several steps under his piercing gaze, her face filled with terror, almost falling to one knee. Her heart racing wildly, she was truly afraid that the furious Zhen Nan Wang would slap her to death in a fit of rage. Who in the capital didn't know that Zhen Nan Wang had been extremely displeased because of Zhu Mei and her daughter, designing a trap to harm Qin Luo Yi?

  No one wanted to touch his sore spot, but she happened to run into his knife mouth today.

  It's all because of that cheap woman Qin Luo Yi! If it weren't for her making me angry, I wouldn't have said such thoughtless words on the territory of Zhen Nan Wang.

  She carefully looked at her brother, and her brother's eyes were full of anger, glaring at her with a hint of ferocity she had never seen before, clearly not intending to take action to protect her.

  "Is that so?" The last sentence of Zhen Nan Wang was not directed at Du Yu Die, but rather at Chu Yi Xiu.

  Chu Yixiu's heart tightened, and he hastily stepped forward: "Nothing happened." He sighed and continued: "Your Highness, to be honest with you, my cousin has been spoiled since childhood. My uncle only has this one daughter, so she speaks without restraint..."

  He and Wang Ye came out of the study, originally wanting to bring his cousin along into the palace, but unexpectedly just as they were walking here with Wang Ye, he heard his cousin say something about how the Empress was worthless, and that she herself wanted to be on an equal footing with him, speaking coldly and disdainfully of Qin Luo Yi's shameless words. If this weren't the residence of the Duke of Town South, he really would have liked to give her a good slap!

  Before, she was willful, but it was all just some harmless temper, speaking so recklessly... For the first time, he thought Du sister was not lovable at all and had become detestable.

  The expression on the face of King Zhen Nan did not ease, he only raised his eyebrows and said: "Is there no such thing? Your Highness means to say that even if Yī Er enters the palace later, this Miss Du will not marry into the Wang Fu as a concubine?"

  Du Yu Die's body trembled, almost fainting, her eyes turned red, and she looked pitifully at her own cousin.

  Chu Yixiu's heart sank, but his face remained solemn as he said, "I've always regarded Du Jia's sister as a younger sister, so it's only natural that I wouldn't marry her as a concubine."

  He knew what his words implied, but he also knew that the King of Zhen Nan was waiting for him to make a statement. It's not his fault, it's his cousin's fault for saying such things in the King of Zhen Nan's mansion. The King of Zhen Nan only has one daughter now, and he definitely won't let him marry Du into their family after hearing what his cousin said.

  Du Yu's heart was filled with despair, and she lowered her eyes and wept, but didn't dare say anything more.

  In front of Zhen Nan Wang, let alone a small Qi Refining stage cultivator like her, even her own brother wouldn't dare to put on airs and act wildly.

  At this moment, she knew that for Qin Luoyi and for the King of Southern Town, she was abandoned by her brother, becoming a discarded child. This life, as long as the King of Southern Town is around, she can forget about marrying her brother.

  After Chu Yixiu and Du Yu Die left, the King of Zhen Nan softened his expression and comforted his daughter: "Don't take that woman's words to heart. From now on, whatever happens, I'll make decisions for you."

  "I said I don't want to marry the Third Prince, why didn't you stand up for me?!" Qin Luo's eyes sparkled as she quietly complained to him.

  There are only a few days left, and the wedding preparations are almost complete. This girl is still thinking about this?

  The King of Zhen Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, gazing at her lovely face, and said: "Yi Er, this marriage is an imperial decree, it's not child's play. The Third Prince... among the Emperor's five sons, except for the Crown Prince, the Third Prince is quite good too. The Crown Prince Chu Yi Feng... when the Empress Dowager passed away back then, the Emperor promised her that he would take charge of the Crown Prince's marriage himself."

  Qin fell to the ground in shock.

  Is this really happening? Can Chu Yifeng's marriage be decided by himself? Did the Emperor agree to the Empress's suggestion? No wonder he is two years older than the Third Prince, yet there has never been any news of the Emperor choosing a princess for him.

  It was night, a bright crescent moon hung high in the dark sky, accompanied by a few stars that harmonized with it to form a halo. Except for the occasional chirping of insects, the South Town King's Mansion was quiet inside and out, like a painting or a poem, enveloped in the hazy moonlight, serene and enchanting.

  A strange feeling caused Qin Luoyi to suddenly wake up from his sleep, and he lazily looked towards the outside of the tent with his phoenix-like eyes. In the pitch-black night, the window that was originally closed before he fell asleep had somehow opened two flaps.

  He was startled in his heart, propped himself up, and his eyes vigilantly swept towards the inside of the house.

  Damn it!

  Wasn't Chu Yifeng that bastard sneaking into her room again under the cover of darkness?

  Taking a glance around, Chu Yifeng's figure was nowhere to be seen inside the house.

  Qin took off his clothes but didn't relax, instead he became more vigilant, quickly put on his clothes, got out of bed and walked to the open window, looking outside.

  She was certain that she had closed the window before going to sleep, and it was absolutely impossible for Liu'er and Xing'er, who were sleeping in the outer room, to get up in the middle of the night on purpose to open the window.

  At this time, in the Mirror Snow Garden, the night wind was refreshing, and the fragrance of flowers wafted through the air. The moist night dew refreshed one's heart and spleen. Suddenly, a white figure, extremely fleeting, flashed by in the garden and swiftly flew out of the Wang Mansion.

  From a distance, the figure looked like Chu Yifeng. Qin Luoyi cursed under her breath and jumped out of the window, chasing after him. Dahei, who was guarding outside her house, noticed her movement and let out a low growl, following behind her.

  They chased all the way to a secluded forest outside the Wang Fu, and the white figure in front of them kept appearing and disappearing. Just as Qin Luo was starting to feel uncertain, the white shadow finally stopped.

  Qin Luo Yi carefully followed up, his left hand pinching a long sword, his right hand pinching a five-element wind and thunder talisman, making all preparations without any mistake.

  As she walked closer, the man in white clothes in front of her slowly turned his head around.

  The man looked about forty years old, with piercing eyes, a slender figure, handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, his appearance was also one of the rare elegant ones in the world.

  Not Chu Yifeng.

  Qin's clothes fell, and her heart skipped a beat as she gazed at him with a slightly sunken face. The aura emanating from this man was absolutely stronger than the aura on her father, the king!

  When did the Holy Dragon Continent have such a powerful person again? And what is his purpose in coming to the Town South Wangfu and bringing himself out?

  Her mind was racing, and just as she was hesitating, the white-clad person opposite her suddenly raised their hand, and a bright white light shot towards her, enveloping her body.

  Qin's face changed color as he hastily retreated backwards, only to discover that his body had been immobilized by the white light and could no longer move a single step.

  Dahuo suddenly felt something was off and let out a furious roar beside her, his massive body leaping into the air as he pounced viciously at the white-clothed man.

  The man in white robes smiled slightly, without even looking at it, a palm wind passed by, and with a loud "thud", it fell to the ground in disarray, silent.

  "Where's Dahei?!" Qin Luoyi's heart skipped a beat, her eyes turned red with rage as she shouted: "What have you done to Dahei?"

  Looking at her with a furious expression, the man in white raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I said I'd kill it, what would you do?"

  "Then you can die too!" Qin Luo Yi shouted loudly and released a 7th-grade Wind Blade Talisman that she had just made a few days ago.

  "Whoosh!"

  In an instant, a strong wind blew around her, the air was turbulent, and in an instant, it shattered the white light that surrounded her into powder.

  "Go and avenge my Dahei!" Qin Luo Yi, who had burst out of the white light, did not stop attacking. With a flick of her slender hand, she threw out another seven-grade Ice Blade Symbol, unleashing tens of thousands of sharp ice blades that instantly surrounded the man in white.

  The calm eyes of the man in white finally had a change.

  Seven Treasure Talisman Paper!

  She actually has a very rare seventh-grade talisman paper... Where did her talisman paper come from? Moreover, the power of this seventh-grade talisman paper is several times greater than that of ordinary seventh-grade talisman papers!

  With a flick of his finger, he drew one of the ice blades into his hand and examined it carefully. The other wind blades seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to get closer than about a foot from his body.

  Qin Luoyi was secretly shocked.

  She gritted her teeth, knowing that this man was not someone she could handle. Not daring to fight him head-on, she took advantage of the white-clothed man being surrounded by ice blades and ran to Da Hei's side, discovering that he had only fainted and was not injured.

  "Bang!"

  With a slap, Dahei was awakened by her and saw that she was fine. Dahei let out a low growl and sprang to his feet, his face ferocious as he prepared to pounce on the man in white again.

  Qin Luoyi hastily stopped him. "Dahai, let's go back!" He glanced at the man in white, who was holding an ice blade with a thoughtful expression... If they didn't leave now, when would they?

  The big black extreme spiritual nature blinked, and it would understand. It also knew the ferocity of that white-clothed man. Just now, it hadn't even had time to get close before being struck down!

  Qin took off his clothes and sat on the big black back, one man and one dog were about to quietly leave.

  "Qin'niang!" A somewhat familiar voice called out to her.

  Qin Luo Yi turned her head towards the direction of the sound, and found that it was actually Qing Yun Dashi from the Jue Chen Palace. Beside him stood a middle-aged man in a silver brocade robe, with a handsome face, deep and gentle eyes, a pair of black eyes overflowing with wisdom, smiling at her.

  Qin Luoyi's face lit up with a smile, and her heart was filled with excitement. She quickly jumped down from Da Hei's back and walked to Qingyun Dashi's side: "Master, how did you end up here?"

  She took another look at the silver-robed man beside him, as well as the white-robed man who had already turned that ice blade into water vapor. Her heart skipped a beat and accelerated involuntarily, with sparkling lights flashing in her phoenix eyes.

  Qingyun Master didn't answer her question, but pointed to the silver-robed man beside him and smiled at her: "Miss Qin, this is my senior brother, Qingfeng Master, the master of Juechen Palace."

  Qin took off his clothes and hurried forward to pay his respects.

  Qingfeng Master smiled peacefully and nodded slightly towards her.

  Qingyun Master smiled and brought her to the front of the man in white, saying: "This is Ge Zhangmen, the first immortal gate of Penglai Xian Island's Floating Sect."

  Penglai Fairy Island!

  Qin's eyes narrowed and her heart began racing wildly.

  No wonder this man in white looks like a fairy who is about to ascend to immortality, with an extraordinary and powerful demeanor, he is actually from the Penglai Fairy Island!

  The leader of Penglai Xianmen's Xiao Sect is also the first fairy gate, and just hearing this name is enough to make people's hearts excited.

  She was excited in her heart, but her face remained calm and composed. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the man in white: "Qin Luoyi has seen Master Ge, I didn't know it was Master Ge earlier, please forgive me for my offense."

  Ge Zhengmen narrowed his eyes and sized her up, expression unreadable. Qin Luoyi didn't think much of it and stood there letting him look her over.

  Qingyun and Qingfeng, two masters, also stood by with their hands clasped together, their expressions extremely respectful.

  "I heard you can refine seventh-grade elixirs?" After a long while, Ge Zhengyuan finally opened his mouth, and a hint of sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

  "Yes!" Qin Luo's crisp voice responded, facing Ge Zhangmen's such a powerful existence, her alchemy skills had nothing to hide.

  "At such a young age, you can already refine seventh-grade elixirs, that's quite impressive!" Ge Zhangmen nodded his head, then suddenly changed the subject: "However, your body obviously cannot cultivate spiritual energy, what a pity!"

  Just now he emitted white light, not to attack Qin Luoyi, but to test her cultivation foundation. It's just that the result disappointed him, and at the beginning of the test, he found that the meridians in her body were severely blocked and not suitable for cultivation. She was already over ten years old, but she hadn't even reached the middle stage of refining her body.

  Qin's heart sank at the words.

  Does Penglai Xian Island's Yizhang also think that she can't cultivate? Is it destined for her to have nothing to do with cultivation in this life?

  She is not reconciled!

  Qingyun Master and Qingfeng Master heard Ge Zhangmen's words, also with a face full of regret. Under the age of twenty, he can already refine seventh-grade elixirs, and with more time, even higher-grade elixirs are not out of reach.

  However, being unable to cultivate is a huge deficiency. The True Immortal Realm is cruel, and without the ability to refine pills or defend oneself, entering the Immortal Gate may not be a good choice, as one might fall at any time.

  Moreover, cultivation can prolong one's lifespan, but without it, even with the best care and consumption of longevity medicines, a mortal can live for no more than a hundred years at most. Even with excellent alchemy aptitude, one cannot go too far.

  Ge Zhangmen and his Shizu met by chance hundreds of years ago, without knowing Ge Zhangmen's identity. The two got along famously. This time, Ge Zhangmen came to Jue Chen Valley to sweep the tomb for his Shizu and happened to meet Yi Gu Yun sent by Jian Yu Yan. After hearing about Qin Luo Yi's affair, he was suddenly interested and came over to take a look.

  This is something that others can't get even if they beg for it.

  It's just... after all, Qin girl's qualifications for cultivation are too poor to be pleasing to others. It seems that the matter of becoming an apprentice on Penglai Fairy Island is not going to work out.

  Ge Zhangmen turned around and left.

  Qin's face, as white as jade, showed a hint of melancholy. Ge Zhangmen's speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared. Even if she wanted to catch up with him, it was already too late, and she could only watch him leave with her eyes wide open.

  Penglai Fairy Island is in the deepest part of the ocean, if you can't get his green light, join the Piaoyou Sect, with her own strength, it's impossible to reach... Without Penglai, the opportunity for her to cultivate is even more elusive!

  Master Qingyun looked at her with a lost expression, and his heart couldn't bear it. He walked up to her and comforted her, saying: "Miss Qin, I heard from Jian Xiaozhi that you want to join the Xianmen because you want to get rid of your engagement to the Third Prince? Actually, if you just want to get rid of the engagement, there are other ways."

  Qin Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "Getting rid of the marriage contract, this is just one of the reasons... actually, what I hope for most is to be able to join a powerful immortal sect and then seek out a cultivation method that suits me."

  Qingyun Master and Qingfeng Master looked at each other, both with a hint of difficulty on their faces. Qingfeng Master deliberated: "To join the Immortal Sect, talent is the most important thing. Gu Zhangmen just said that your body is not suitable for cultivation. You can refine pills, and at such a young age, you can already refine high-grade pills. If your talent were suitable, Gu Zhangmen might have been tempted... but..." He trailed off here, only sighing and shaking his head.

  Qin Luoyi knew that the two masters were right, but a rare opportunity was in front of her and she didn't want to give it up. After thinking for a moment, she resolutely looked at them and said: "Masters, to be honest with you, the highest grade of elixir I can refine is tenth-grade, that is to say, eleventh-grade elixir, and I also have two chances in ten to refine it successfully...I wonder if Master Ge would be willing to let me join the Piaomiao Sect?"

  Digression

  Haha, dear friends, the boss has finally appeared...
