Conflict

It seemed Taihua True Person did not approve of Treasure Pearl Earth Treasury and me becoming Dao Companions!

Since he had already made up his mind to become Dao Companions with Treasure Pearl Earth Treasury, he had to fight for it. He had to display his strength, prove himself, and make Taihua True Person change her mind.

After a while, Treasure Pearl Earth Treasury's slender figure emerged from the direction of the Spirit Pool.

Though she was still utterly calm and showed none of her emotions on her face, Ning Xiaochuan still caught a trace of worry in her eyes.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled. "Taihua True Person does not agree to you becoming Dao Companions with me?"

"Xiao Chuan, do not overthink it. Come with me to see Master!" Treasure Pearl Earth Treasury said.

Upon arriving beside the Spirit Pool, Ning Xiaochuan finally saw Taihua True Person's true appearance clearly.

Within the Nine Heavens Pavilion, where beauties gathered like clouds, Taihua True Person was an outlier. She looked nothing like a beauty—high cheekbones, thick brows, and skin that was not particularly fair. She gave off an exceedingly fierce impression.

Knowing that Taihua True Person was also a buddhist cultivator, Ning Xiaochuan pressed his palms together and gave her a deep bow. "This junior, Ning Xiaochuan, pays respects to Senior Taihua."

Taihua True Person cast Ning Xiaochuan a cold, stern glance, her expression utterly unfriendly. "You are Ning Xiaochuan? I will not beat around the bush with you. Let me tell you plainly: from now on, do not come disturb Treasure Pearl's cultivation again. I will absolutely not agree to the matter between you two."

Treasure Pearl Earth Treasury grew slightly anxious and hurriedly said, "Master..."

Slap!

Taihua True Person swung out a slap, striking Treasure Pearl Earth Treasury across the face
