Elsewhere, led by Lü'er, Lou Lan Shengxue headed toward Heavenly Maiden Peak.
"Senior Sister Lou Lan, where is she going? If I remember correctly, the Peak Master's hall isn't in that direction."
"Could she be looking for some disciple?"
"But that can't be right either. There's only an empty Heavenly Maiden Peak in that direction."
"Then you don't know, do you? That Young Master Ye just moved into Heavenly Maiden Peak."
"Fuck, impossible. Absolutely impossible."
A number of male disciples immediately let out cries of despair.
They found the truth impossible to accept.
"Hehe, who was it that said not long ago that if Senior Sister Lou Lan came looking, he'd twist off his own head and let people kick it around like a ball?"
"You're the only one with such a damn good memory. Get lost."
Once they realized that Lou Lan Shengxue might be going to see Chen Wen, the already noisy scene completely boiled over.
The news spread like wildfire, swiftly sweeping through the entire Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land.
The Saintess had personally come looking for Chen Wen.
Who was the Saintess?
She was a Celestial Maiden.
Thus, for the Sacred Land, this was no less than a thunderclap striking level ground, blasting everyone senseless.
But when Lou Lan Shengxue arrived at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Taichu blocked her path.
Jiang Taichu gave Lou Lan Shengxue a glance and said blandly, "Halt, visitor."
"Do you know who my young miss is?" Lou Lan Lü'er immediately snapped.
"Lü'er, stand down," Lou Lan Shengxue said.
"Yes." Lou Lan Lü'er puffed out her cheeks and silently retreated behind her.
Lou Lan Shengxue clasped her fists. "This young woman is Lou Lan Shengxue. I have come specifically to meet with Young Master Ye. Please announce me."
Lou Lan Shengxue?
Was she the Saintess Young Master Ye had mentioned earlier?
Damn, she really came looking for him on her own initiative.
Young Master, you're incredible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Taichu once again felt exasperated at her failure to live up to expectations.
With his own little sister's stubborn, dead-set mind, she wouldn't even get a mouthful of shit while it was still warm.
Look at the Saintess.
Whether it was looks or talent, which of them wasn't a level above his sister's?
Yet she had still come looking for him, and she had come as soon as she heard the news.
He really didn't know what the hell his sister was being so precious about.
"Was this young woman's explanation unclear?"
Seeing Jiang Taichu lost in thought, Lou Lan Shengxue did not get angry and spoke again.
Jiang Taichu gathered his thoughts and returned her salute. "This is truly unfortunate. Young Master Ye has entered seclusion."
"Did he say how long it would take?" Lou Lan Shengxue asked after a moment's thought.
Jiang Taichu shook his head. "This lowly one truly doesn't know."
"Sorry for the trouble." Lou Lan Shengxue gave a slight salute, intending to leave first.
Just then, Jiang Qingren arrived.
The gathered disciples immediately made way for her.
Jiang Qingren came before Lou Lan Shengxue and asked, "May I ask why the Saintess has come?"
Jiang Taichu glanced at her sister. Isn't that a question you already know the answer to?
Lou Lan Shengxue replied, "I heard that Young Master Ye wished to see me, so Xiaoxue came."
"If I have caused Peak Master Jiang any inconvenience, Xiaoxue apologizes in advance."
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Look at that.
Both women.
How could the gap be so vast?
If I were Young Master, I would definitely choose her instead of you.
Jiang Taichu grumbled inwardly.
At the same time, however, he was also wondering whether this woman had really come because of a single sentence from Chen Wen.
Could there be some other issue behind this?
"You know each other?" Jiang Qingren asked instinctively for some reason.
She shared Jiang Taichu's thoughts. Given Lou Lan Shengxue's temperament, there was no need for her to pay any attention to Chen Wen.
Lou Lan Shengxue glanced at Jiang Qingren without leaving a trace. "That matter should not fall within Peak Master Jiang's scope of inquiry, should it?"
No.
Why did this feel like something was wrong?
Jiang Taichu frowned slightly.
The disciples present also noticed it at this moment.
Their gazes swept back and forth across the two women's faces, as though trying to discern something.
Jiang Qingren's expression stiffened. She took a light breath. "As your elder, let me say one more thing. That Young Master Ye is not a good person."
What the fuck is my idiot sister saying?
Jiang Taichu felt as though the top of his skull had been blown off in fright.
"Get back. Right now, immediately." Jiang Taichu strode forward, grabbed Jiang Qingren's hand, and roared fiercely.
Jiang Qingren also realized at this moment that she had said the wrong thing, so she did not immediately retort.
Lou Lan Shengxue merely watched Jiang Qingren with considerable interest.
She did not care in the slightest whether Chen Wen was a good person.
If not for Chu Tianlong and Chen Wen's unusual actions, she would never have come.
Instead, Jiang Qingren's excessive reaction struck her as somewhat amusing.
Boom!
At that moment, endless streams of Spiritual Energy gathered in the sky, spreading outward until they reached the boundless void, with no end in sight.
Was Young Master Ye about to break through?
This amount of gathered Spiritual Energy was far too terrifying.
Watching the Spiritual Energy gather in ever greater amounts, everyone revealed stunned expressions.
Lou Lan Shengxue also raised her gaze toward the sky, a strange glint flashing through her eyes.
Such an immense amount of Spiritual Energy had only appeared when she broke through to the Life and Death Realm.
She just wondered which realm this Young Master Ye was breaking through to.
Unlike Lou Lan Shengxue, Jiang Qingren knew Chen Wen's true cultivation realm: the tenth level of the Yin Yang Realm.
If he was breaking through now, it meant Chen Wen was advancing into the Heavenly Human Realm.
How could she fail to understand what it meant for a breakthrough into the Heavenly Human Realm to draw in such an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy?
At that thought, Jiang Qingren's face abruptly changed.
"Now you know, right? Young Master Ye taking a liking to you is your good fortune, so what the fuck are you acting so precious for?"
After recovering from her shock, Jiang Taichu once again felt exasperated at Jiang Qingren's failure to live up to expectations.
Jiang Qingren pressed her lips together tightly and said nothing.
She admitted that she had looked down on Chen Wen.
She had also underestimated his talent.
But that still could not change the fact that he was a spoiled young master who was stirred by lust at the sight of beauty.
She simply did not like such people. Was she wrong for that?
Seeing his sister like this, how could Jiang Taichu not know what she was thinking? Yet he could only sigh helplessly.
If this person were not his sister, he would have killed her long ago.
Stupid thing. Being alive was nothing but a waste of food.
As more and more Spiritual Energy gathered, it eventually enveloped an area thousands of miles wide. The gradually boiling and surging Spiritual Energy resembled a natural disaster, and the sight was utterly terrifying.
At this moment, the gathered Spiritual Energy had also reached its limit.
It was coming.
Whether he was a dragon or a worm would be revealed at this very moment.
Lou Lan Shengxue thought leisurely to herself.
Just then, an aura that soared into the heavens erupted from the depths of Heavenly Maiden Peak, sweeping away the Myriad Miles of Clouds in an instant.
An aura of the Yin Yang Realm... How was this possible?!
Lou Lan Shengxue's breathing caught, her face filled with shock.
Because the intensity of such talent had not only surpassed hers, but had even surpassed that of her future husband.
One had to know that her future husband possessed a rare Emperor Bone, a being destined to become a Great Emperor in the future so long as nothing unexpected happened.
Yet now, a youth who had appeared out of nowhere had surpassed them both in one stroke.
What did that represent?
At that thought, the shock in her eyes deepened even further.
