"Oh? Since your mind is made up, then... till we meet again." Ling Xiao smiled faintly. This young girl was clearly inexperienced in the ways of the world.
To put it plainly,she was easy to fool.
He wasn't in a hurry to subdue her just yet; otherwise, people would start calling him a womanizer again.
Besides,right now, dealing with Lin Xi and Nian Qingyun was the top priority.
Today in the auction house,the voice of the system in his mind hadn't stopped.
Both Nian Qingyun and Lin Xi had contributed a considerable amount of Luck Points.
As for what came next...
Of course,it was time to strike while the iron was hot and thoroughly deal with that little cutie, Lin Xi.
Moreover,if Ling Xiao's guess was correct, the old grandpa attached to Lin Xi wasn't just a powerful expert, but also an alchemist.
If...he could capture him and lock him in the Eight Desolates Glazed Pagoda to refine pills day and night for him...
Ling Xiao didn't have much personal need for pills,but the people around him still relied on them for cultivation.
Facing the Sacred Sect alone was a bit challenging.
But if he formed a"Destiny's Female Idol Group" to make waves in the entertainment world, just the Luck Points alone would probably make those hypocrites from the Sacred Sect panic.
As for a harem...
Slap yourself and ask:which of the thirty young ladies would you want?
Heh,only children make choices.
No matter which ones you want,except for Jingjing, I want them all.
After all,too many people want Jingjing; I'm not worthy.
"Till we meet again?"
Lin Meng's pretty face froze for a moment.The young master said... till we meet again?
What was originally a plain,even somewhat perfunctory phrase, sounded like heavenly music to the young girl's ears.
She was just a minor disciple from a minor sect in the wild mountains of the Eastern Lands of the Holy Land.How could she possibly be worthy of catching Young Master Ling Xiao's eye?
The young master said I resemble his mother when she was young?
What an immense honor!
"Young Master! Till we meet again."
It wasn't until Ling Xiao's figure had gone quite far that Lin Meng suddenly reacted and shouted loudly towards the distance.
Ling Xiao didn't speak or turn around,merely raising his hand and giving a slight wave.
Quietly, I leave,consistent with his usual pretentious and effortless style.
"Junior Sister, weren't you going to... relieve yourself? Why are you here?" Yin Tianxing's voice came from behind. The expectation on Lin Meng's face instantly settled, and she turned to Yin Tianxing with a sweet smile. "Senior Brother, thank you for bringing me out this time to broaden my horizons."
"Heh, Junior Sister... it's what I should do. Actually, there's something I wanted to discuss with you on this trip down the mountain..." Yin Tianxing's expression turned serious, and a certain imposing manner surged from him.
"Huh? Senior Brother, what is it?"
"The fact that we grew up together since childhood is no secret within the Flaming Cloud Sect.After we return to the mountain, I plan to have my grandfather go to the Lin family to propose marriage!" Yin Tianxing smiled faintly, but the desire in his eyes was completely unconcealed.
"Pro... propose marriage?" Lin Meng's face stiffened. Before, she wouldn't have hesitated.
After all,Yin Tianxing's status and position were clear; he was most likely to become an elder of the Flaming Cloud Sect in the future.
And her Lin family was just a minor clan at the foot of the Flaming Cloud Sect mountain.
That they could climb onto this behemoth,the Flaming Cloud Sect, was entirely thanks to Yin Tianxing's favor.
But for some reason,Lin Meng's heart felt somewhat lost now.
It seemed that the tiny Flaming Cloud Sect could no longer satisfy her yearning for the immortal path.
"Junior Sister? You... aren't willing?" Yin Tianxing's face darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
It shouldn't be like this.
With his status,matching a young woman from a small clan should be more than enough.
While the Yin Family couldn't be compared to those ancient clans or sacred sects,they held some renown within the Flaming Cloud Sect's territory.
If Lin Meng didn't know what was good for her...
Hmph!
"Senior Brother, I'd like to first advance to the rank of True Disciple before considering matters of marriage..." Lin Meng sighed. She didn't have the courage to offend Yin Tianxing.
After all,Ling Xiao was, to her, just a fluke in life.
But once a person has seen a true dragon,how could they be content to follow a... poodle?
"True Disciple? That's easy. Once we return to the sect, I'll have my grandfather accept you as a True Disciple. Consider it the betrothal gift from my Yin Family." Yin Tianxing sneered, his gaze towards Lin Meng growing colder.
"Junior Sister,don't forget, the Lin family was originally just a third-rate minor clan in Flaming Cloud City. If it weren't for my Yin Family's support, I'm afraid that old City Lord would have taken you as his concubine long ago, right?"
"Senior Brother's great kindness, Lin Meng will never forget..." Lin Meng sighed softly. Perhaps everything was just her own wishful thinking.
BOOM!
In the distant divine mountains, a divine light suddenly shot straight into the sky.
Rolling thunderclaps echoed as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth rending.
Mysterious True Flames,a shocking transformation!
A blinding red light enveloped the sky for thousands of miles,and a strange, scorching wave of energy quietly began to spread.
At that moment,all the young experts in Sunset Ancient City had a flash of awe and desire in their eyes!
It has appeared!
After two days,that heavy treasure had finally appeared once more!
But this fluctuation...
Some of the less powerful talented disciples from ancient sects immediately showed hesitation on their faces.
It seemed they could feel an indescribable,strange heat quietly rising within their hearts.
"It's finally appeared." Ling Xiao stopped walking, looked up at the phenomenon in the sky, and a smile suddenly curled on his lips.
A Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.
He just wondered where this spiritual fire ranked on the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's Spiritual Fire Ranking.
"Young Master Ling Xiao!!" Fu Yunyao and the others' voices came from behind. Ling Xiao turned and nodded to the crowd with a smile. "Let's go."
BOOM!
For a time, the sound of rushing wind filled the sky above Sunset City.
Figures transformed into beams of divine light,speeding rapidly towards the depths of Mount Sunset.
Faced with such a heaven-defying opportunity,it was hard for anyone to resist the desire in their hearts.
Of course,most people weren't actually aiming for the heavy treasure itself.
Ling Xiao,Nian Qingyun, and even those few from the Cloud Millet Immortal Sect were insurmountable peaks for these talented disciples from small sects and clans.
That heavy treasure was eighty percent likely to fall into their hands.
Especially Ling Xiao,whose fame had been rising these past few days, and who also held the advantage of timing and location. Even if someone managed to seize the treasure, it was unlikely they could slip away under his watchful eye.
However,when a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure appeared like this, it definitely contained other opportunities within.
If you can't eat the meat,is having some soup not allowed?
"Young Master, we..." Fu Yunyao, seeing that Nian Qingyun wasn't by Ling Xiao's side, couldn't help but show a smile on her pretty face.
But...
this heavy treasure has already appeared,so why is the young master still acting so leisurely?
"No rush. This opportunity isn't something just anyone can seize."
Obviously.
Lin Xi appears in Sunset City,and coincidentally, a spiritual fire appears in Sunset City.
Could your Heavenly Dao favoritism be any more obvious?
If Lin Xi didn't come,that spiritual fire definitely wouldn't be so easily obtained.
Just like back in the Northern Barrens when Ye Fan triggered the ancient mighty one's ruins.
As a villain,no matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, he didn't dare be the slightest bit careless.
The safest method was to let Lin Xi lead the way,clearing all obstacles.
He would then transform into the reaper at the end,give a light sickle swipe, ah, mission accomplished, retreat gracefully!
Of course,Fu Yunyao definitely wouldn't understand these principles, and Ling Xiao couldn't be bothered to explain.
God's perspective?
Asking a group of mortals who worship immortals to understand the concept of'God' – wasn't that just ridiculous?
But just as Ling Xiao was sauntering forward, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Huh?
That's strange?
Why is Lin Xi's aura heading somewhere else?
