Chapter 108: Jianqing, Return the Blood Spirit Fruit to the Fiend Exalt (I)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Soon, Luo Jianqing and Xie zizhuo came to the arena where the new cultivators competed.
This year, Tai Hua mountain enrolled three new cultivators, among whom Mu Ruorong had already finished the Foundation Establishment, so she would not compete with other two disciples. Instead, with her outstanding talent, she was directly accepted as the disciple of Tai Hua mountain, while the other two cultivators had to compete with each other.
Now, those two cultivators had decided their target peaks, but Mu Ruorong hesitated. Of course, it was not her fault, as disciples in all the six peaks were striving for this beautiful new disciple.
She was 28 years old, more mature than the girls who were in their teens. Besides, she had great talent! Any man could not control their appet.i.te for her, especial those in Hao Ming peak where all disciples were men.
Although there were many female disciples in Qing Lan peak, Mu Tianxin was also striving for that girl, not for her appearance and talent. She was just disgusted by those men, “Such a nice girl cannot fall into a stinky place with you awful guys. I know exactly what you are thinking about! She will join our Qing Lan peak. If you don’t take that, send Xie zizhuo to me!”
To be honest, Mu Tianxin’s power could only rank third or fourth in Hao Ming peak, much weaker than Xie zizhuo. However, everyone knew that if they hurt her, Sir Yu Qingzi would definitely ignore his ident.i.ty and teach them a lesson!
They were not afraid of a willful princess, but a willful princess spoiled by a big shot…
Suddenly, they didn’t know what to do.
When Luo Jianqing saw Mu Tianxin in the distance, he immediately gave Xie Zizhuo a sharp look and said, “So you are not bringing me here to persuade that new fellow younger sister, but your fellow younger sister Mu Tianxin.”
Although Xie Zizhuo was quite handsome, his flattering smile destroyed that all. He moved closer to Luo Jianqing and rubbed against him intimately, “My good brother, just help me. See? Even the second fellow brother and third fellow sister couldn’t win Mu Tianxin. You are the only one who can ‘take her down’!”
Luo Jianqing looked at Xie Zizhuo with dislike and flew down.
A lot of disciples of Tai Hua mountain surrounded the arena and waited for the final decision. As they saw Luo Jianqing coming, they cleared a path for him. Xie Zizhuo was walking ahead with great panache as if others were showing respect to him, but when he came in front of Mu Tianxin, he abruptly smiled brightly, “Oh, isn’t this my fellow younger sister! What are you doing here?”
Mu Tiaxin stared at Xie Zizhuo who was in scarlet and sneered, “If I don’t come here, are you going to lure our new younger sister into your peak?”
Xie Zizhuo explained innocently, “We have promised to compete fairly! I’m not that kind of tricky person! Anyway, we disciples of Hao Ming peak will respect her own choice. She can choose any peak she likes and we won’t stop her. Don’t you trust your big brother’s integrity?”
Mu Tianxin pretended to reply with great astonishment, “Oh, you have integrity?”
Xie Zizhuo clamped his hand against his heart, “My heart is hurt.”
Mu Tianxin said with a hint of sarcasm, “Yeah, yeah, I bet you must have come up with some bad idea and attempted to trap her… Brother Luo?!”
As she saw Luo Jianqing, Mu Tianxin coughed slightly and stood with great manners. Even if she had given up all thought of Luo Jianqing, her years of love for him still haunted her.
Mu Tianxin blushed slightly with lowered head, saying nothing. After a while, she suddenly realized something, “Xie Zizhuo! I have known your trick now! You try to use brother Luo to stop me! No way!
Xie zizhuo was totally stunned.
Wait, that was different from the expectation! She should have been as docile as a cat in front of Luo Jianqing, but why did she become so bold? That was abnormal!
Luo Jianqing still felt very sorry when he saw Mu Tianxin, but her response today rea.s.sured him a lot.
She had digested his words.
Although she was still a little bit shy, Luo Jianqing saw something different in her.
He couldn’t waste any time now. He looked around and found Li Xiuchen in the crowd. Li Xiuchen was staring at Mu Tianxin and Mu Ruorong. Luo Jianqing couldn’t tell what he was thinking about, but he knew that Li Xiuchen was planning something evil.
Slightly frowning, Luo Jianqing stepped forward and said, “Why so bothering? Let our new fellow sister make her own choice.”
Mu Tianxin shook her head immediately, “Brother Luo, those men are all boasters! The disciples of Hao Ming peak said nothing but empty flattery. Hearing their words, I even felt embarra.s.sed for them!”
Luo Jianqing turned to Zuo Yunmo and Wei Qiongyin. Zuo Yunmo beamed and nodded to him slightly, confirming the claim of Mu Tianxin, while Wei Qiongyin held his sword and also nodded coldly.
Seeing that, Xie Zizhuo said unpleasantly, “You three all pick on me! That’s not fair!
Mu Tianxin laughed out, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Xie Zizhuo! Stop quibbling, or I will kick your a.s.s.”
“You!” Xie Zizhuo was about to go mad, but after a quick thought, he hided behind of Luo Jianqing and said innocently, “Brother Luo, you see? They are all bullying your poor fellow brother. I’m integrate, honest, caring, warm and helpful. I’m literally the moral model of Tai Hua mountain, but they treat me unfairly…”
Luo Jianqing pulled him away impatiently and said, “Enough, shut up!”
Xie Zizhuo murmured and stopped his nonsense.
Then, Luo Jianqing turned around and looked at Mu Ruorong, who was surrounded by the crowd.
It had been several years since their farewell in Wan Shou Mountain. It seemed that she had grown taller with better figure. Her nice face was finally tinted with unique heroic spirit after years of battles. Her bright eyes were now fixed on Luo Jianqing.
Her eyes made Luo Jianqing slightly baffled. He thought: At that time, he had worn a mask, and now his voice had changed a little, so she couldn’t have remembered him after these years.
The handsome cultivator beamed and approached Mu Ruorong.
Xie Zizhuo said in a low voice, “I knew it! This new fellow sister will definitely be attracted by brother Luo’s appearance.”
Mu Tianxin stepped hard on his foot, “Shut up! Don’t talk about brother Luo behind his back!”
Luo Jianqing ignored their words. His long, thin eyes were so profound as if they were caressed by spring water, giving out warmth and brightness.
Mu Ruorong’s eyes followed Luo Jianqing. She gazed at him and nodded slightly.
