Blockade

For the next few days, Ling Tian stayed on Qingyou Peak and didn't go out. He couldn't stand the reproachful gaze of his Mother Humei. However, he wasn't idle either, constantly studying formations. He could now easily set up several simple formations, and after testing them on small animals, formations like the Confinement Formation and Killing Formation worked quite well.

"Phew, I've finally figured out this Spirit Gathering Formation completely. Now I can go to Qingdie Peak, right? If I teach this formation to Min'er, she'll definitely be very happy." That day, Ling Tian woke up from his formation cultivation and thought of Hua Min'er, a deep tenderness rising in his heart.

The Spirit Gathering Formation could condense the Spiritual Energy of the surroundings, allowing anyone cultivating within it to achieve twice the results with half the effort. Ling Tian knew Hua Min'er wanted to cultivate quickly so she could avenge her parents. He figured teaching her this formation would surely make her very happy.

"Now Mother has allowed me to go out. I'll go to Qingdie Peak today." Ling Tian thought, and then headed towards Qingdie Peak.

Mother Humei had said he could go out in a few days. It had already been more than a few days now. Although Ling Tian didn't know how long "a few days" was, he figured it must be "a few days" by now.

Qingdie Peak, because of a genius who emerged, has been bustling with people every day recently, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the genius immortal's beauty. Many also wanted to use their own suave charm to seduce the young loli Hua Min'er, but they were all rejected at the mountain gate. The female disciples of Qingdie Peak were not to be trifled with; they would deploy their sword formations, emanating faint Sha Qi, which truly scared away many lechers. However, many disciples still lingered outside Qingdie Peak, waiting for Hua Min'er to come out.

This day, Ling Tian arrived and saw many people either sitting cross-legged, chatting in groups of three to five, or standing with their toes on the treetops. He couldn't help but feel surprised, secretly wondering if something had happened on Qingdie Peak. Thinking this, he became worried about Hua Min'er's safety and quickened his pace.

Halfway up the mountain, Ling Tian saw a group of Qingdie Peak disciples standing ready, and his worry intensified. He turned into a wisp of smoke and flew upwards.

"Brother, save your energy. Those women's sword formations are truly formidable. Several people have already been injured by their swords. You'd better not try to force your way through." A disciple kindly warned Ling Tian.

Hearing the other person's words, Ling Tian was very curious. He stopped and asked, "Senior Brother, pardon my intrusion. May I ask if something has happened on Qingdie Peak? Otherwise, why are they all standing so ready?"

"You really don't know?" The disciple looked at Ling Tian as if he were a monster.

"Uh, I've been in seclusion for a long time, so I really don't know what's happening on Qingdie Peak. I hope Senior Brother can enlighten me." Ling Tian scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, but still sincerely asked the disciple for guidance.

"I see. That's understandable." The disciple looked enlightened, explaining that some powerful cultivators often go into seclusion for months or even years, so it was normal for him not to know what was happening on Qingdie Peak. He paused and then continued, "Didn't Qingdie Peak produce a genius?"

"Yes, I know about that, and then..." Ling Tian nodded, acting like a qualified listener.

"Then, well, we're all men, you know. We all want to catch a glimpse of her immortal beauty or something." The man showed a hint of embarrassment, but thinking Ling Tian was also a man, he quickly regained his composure.

"If you want to see her, why don't you just go in? Why are you all blocking here?" Ling Tian, knowing Hua Min'er was fine, was no longer too worried. He asked casually, wanting to satisfy the other person's desire to show off.

"Hua Min'er isn't someone you can just see whenever you want. Her master claims she's cultivating and doesn't see outsiders." The man, seeing Ling Tian attentively listening to him, felt secretly proud.

"Even so, that wouldn't warrant these Senior Sisters standing so ready. Did you guys do something out of line?" Ling Tian's curiosity was piqued again.

"No, we wouldn't dare. It's just that a few people tried to sneak in, got caught, and were thrown out. So, we're waiting here for Hua Min'er to come out." The man scratched his head sheepishly, likely implying that he was one of those who tried to sneak in. While they called it waiting, everyone knew they were blocking the way.

"Haha, Senior Brother, you guys are really something." Ling Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Heh heh." The man felt extremely awkward and chuckled sheepishly.

"Then, Senior Brother, you continue blocking. I'm going up." Ling Tian said, and without waiting for the man's reply, he unfolded his movement technique and headed towards the mountaintop.

"Hey, I told you not to try it. You're still going up, kid?" The man exclaimed in surprise as he saw Ling Tian continuing to climb.

However, Ling Tian was already far away and couldn't hear him.

At this moment, Ling Tian had arrived in front of the group of women. He bowed slightly and said, "Esteemed Senior Sisters, I wish to request an audience with Hua Min'er. Please convey my regards."

"We already said Min'er isn't seeing anyone. Aren't you going to be sensible?" All the female disciples were sitting with their eyes closed, so they didn't notice Ling Tian's arrival.

"Well, I think Hua Min'er will want to see me." Ling Tian said helplessly.

"Why are you so shameless? We said she's not seeing anyone, and you're still pestering her." A woman who looked about twenty-four or twenty-five, somewhat older, became impatient. She had already turned away at least a hundred people like this today.

"Huh? You're Ling Tian?" The woman opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

The other disciples who were resting with their eyes closed also opened them and looked at Ling Tian with pleasant surprise.

"Yes, it is I." Ling Tian said with a slight smile.

"Then you can go up. Junior Sister Min'er often mentions you. Her master also said that if it's you, you can go up directly. We didn't know it was you just now, so please forgive us." The woman apologized sheepishly.

Ling Tian's status was no longer what it used to be. Furthermore, Ye Feidie had said that Ling Tian was a distinguished guest of Qingdie Peak and could enter without prior notice. They naturally dared not offend him.

"It's nothing, Senior Sister, you're too kind. May I go up now?" Ling Tian quickly stopped the woman, looking at her for confirmation. The disciple didn't dare to stop him anymore and hurriedly nodded. Ling Tian then passed through the crowd and continued climbing.

At the foot of the mountain, the person who had kindly warned Ling Tian was still worried about him getting beaten. However, in the next moment, he was dumbfounded.

"He actually made it up there. Perhaps they're allowing people to see Hua Min'er now?" the man thought to himself.

But he quickly dismissed the idea because another person who had followed Ling Tian up the mountain was kicked down.

"That's strange, but that person looks so familiar." The man scratched his head, trying to recall.

"Ling Tian, it's Ling Tian!" the man exclaimed, then slapped his own head and cursed himself, "I'm blind! Ling Tian was standing right in front of me, and I didn't recognize him."

Putting aside the man's furious outburst for the moment, let's talk about Ling Tian arriving at the Qingdie Peak Plaza.

"Sigh, why did I forget to ask that Senior Sister to lead the way?" Ling Tian hesitated at the entrance of the Qingdie Peak Great Hall, not daring to enter. Who knew if it was convenient to go in?

"Should I just walk straight in?" Ling Tian thought to himself, but quickly dismissed the idea.

"What should I do? Shout loudly?" Ling Tian shook his head.

"Junior Brother Ling Tian, what are you spacing out for here?" Yun Ying's voice came. Seeing Ling Tian standing there blankly, she asked curiously.

"Senior Sister Yun Ying! It's great to see you. I was just wondering how to find Min'er," Ling Tian said. For the first time, he found Yun Ying's voice to be so lovely.

"Tsk, I thought you were looking for me, your big sister. You made me happy for nothing. Now I'm so sad, boohoo." Yun Ying pretended to cry, unable to resist teasing the handsome young man in front of her.

Ling Tian's face turned slightly red. He had never encountered such a situation before and was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say, just staring blankly at Yun Ying.

"Pfft!" Seeing Ling Tian's awkward expression, Yun Ying couldn't help but chuckle. She was indeed charming, captivating all living beings.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll go call Junior Sister Min'er for you." Yun Ying kindly let Ling Tian off the hook for the moment.

"Yes, thank you, Senior Sister." Ling Tian watched Yun Ying leave and then stood anxiously in place, waiting.
