"Master?"
Hearing the Taiqing Palace Master's words, Ling Qingzhu froze at once. A look of shock surfaced on her pretty face, and confusion flashed through her beautiful eyes.
She did not understand why her master would make such a suggestion. Would that not put them at an even greater disadvantage?
Could this be a test from her master?
A wondrous misunderstanding quietly took root in Ling Qingzhu's heart.
Qian Yuanzi's strength was only at the Death Profound Realm, so in an occasion like this, his words inevitably carried somewhat insufficient weight. To make the Southern Xuan Region take this more seriously, it was more appropriate to ask the Taiqing Palace Master to step forward.
However, the Taiqing Palace Master personally stating her position unexpectedly stirred ripples in Ling Qingzhu's heart, making her mistakenly believe that this was her master's intention.
Perhaps Master wants to see how I perform.
Ling Qingzhu's jade-like hand clenched tightly. A heavy pressure surged up in her heart. The feeling of having such great expectations placed upon her was like an invisible mountain pressing down on her shoulders, making her feel weighed down.
Taking a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed through Ling Qingzhu's eyes. She would do everything in her power and try her best not to disappoint her master's expectations.
Ling Qingzhu did not connect the current turn of events with Mu Zi.
Last time, when the two of them faced the Nine Yuan Nirvana expert from the Western Xuan Region, Mu Zi's performance had indeed been much calmer than hers, and her strength might have been a notch superior.
But now, Ling Qingzhu had broken through a major realm, and her strength had leapt forward.
Although Mu Zi had also improved, her current strength should be about the same as her own.
