Looking at Lin Xuan and Qin Meier walking side by side in front of him, the fourth elder of the Qin Household couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
In his eyes, his young lady was naturally perfect in every way.
That's just his temper...
That's a bit too unrestrained and reckless.
However, despite saying that, a hint of a smile still appeared in his eyes.
It's good to be carefree.
The reason why cultivators practice is precisely to be able to control their own destiny and live freely, isn't it?
Besides, in his opinion, Qin Meier was at most just a quirky and mischievous girl.
They were not as reckless and unruly as the rumors suggested.
but...
Recalling what Qin Meier had just mentioned, the Fourth Elder couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
He was really scared out of his wits just now.
That Demon Beast arrived too suddenly, and its cultivation level was definitely no lower than his own.
He had expected it to be a tough battle.
But for some reason, at the most crucial moment, the Demon Beast suddenly paused for a moment, giving him the opportunity to unleash a full-force attack and kill the beast by sheer luck.
Thank goodness...
However, it's likely that the Demon Beast was already injured.
We were lucky, actually.
Not far from the Fourth Elder, there was another person.
Her name is Zhang Nianqiu.
He is a direct descendant of the Zhang Household of Azure Wave City.
The Qin Household and the Fang Household had many disputes, and naturally, they also had some quarrels with the Zhang Household.
However, the three families remain united and show a high degree of solidarity when it comes to major events in Azure Wave City.
The younger generations of the three families, if they get along well with each other, can become good friends.
Clearly, Zhang Nianqiu and Qin Meier are such friends.
Moreover, the two have a pretty good relationship.
They were truly close friends.
but...
Zhang Nianqiu looked ahead at Qin Meier, who was still pestering Lin Xuan to talk, and couldn't help but hold her head, sigh, and shake her head.
In her eyes, Qin Meier was perfect in every way.
That was my closest friend.
Moreover, the two of them grew up together and are considered close friends.
Azure Wave City says that Qin Meier is arrogant and has a strange temper, but in her opinion, that's pure nonsense!
Meier just likes good-looking people, so what?
but...
She glanced at Lin Xuan again and sighed inwardly once more.
Meier, oh Meier!
You can't really judge a book by its cover, can you?
The young man we met along the way, judging from his appearance and demeanor, seemed to have no other redeeming qualities...
When the Demon Beast pounced, he was so terrified that he stood frozen in place, not even drawing his sword.
They looked exactly like they were waiting to die.
What's commendable about such a person?
What a waste of her best friend's eyes...
Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!
How could you say that about your best friend?
It's clearly this kid who's not good enough for his dear friends!
She secretly rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan's retreating figure.
This person really doesn't know what's good for them.
Seeing that the Fourth Elder was powerful, they decided to stay in their group.
hateful!
Most importantly, this person dared to maintain a cold and aloof demeanor even when facing Qin Meier's face.
He really doesn't know the difference between the two kings!
Little did he know that if it weren't for the Fourth Elder's protection, he would have died countless times along the way.
They have absolutely no sense of propriety!
Zhang Nianqiu kept grumbling to himself.
However, she was not one to embarrass others, nor did she want to offend Qin Meier.
It's obvious that Qin Meier likes this person.
If I were to say something unpleasant at this moment, wouldn't that put Meier in a difficult position?
If this kid really does have some charm, he might even make Meier drift away from him...
That won't do!
She had read many stories about close friends parting ways because of a man.
She doesn't have any connection to it.
However, she wouldn't allow such a brat to deceive her Meier.
Thinking about it, Zhang Nianqiu pursed her lips, her expression becoming increasingly troubled and worried.
You should know that she and Meier have already joined the Fengyang Sect. Although the Fengyang Sect is not as good as the Four Great Sects... no, it can barely be considered one of the Five Great Sects now, but the Fengyang Sect is still a first-class power in the Heaven-Gazing Domain - the Five Great Sects are top-tier.
Within the Fengyang Sect, countless senior brothers also pursued Qin Meier.
Those fellow disciples were all handsome, talented, and dignified.
Which of them isn't stronger than this newcomer who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
Even if you randomly pick one, they would be several times better than Lin Xuan.
She had said these things to Qin Meier in private.
She had spoken with Qin Meier last night.
However, Qin Meier didn't take it seriously at all, and immediately said that she looked down on those people.
Let her worry less.
They also said that Lin Xuan was much more interesting than those people.
She said that Lin Xuan's talent didn't seem very good, which earned her a sarcastic retort from Qin Meier.
So what if you're not naturally gifted?
It's not bad anyway.
What if he's willing to join the Qin Household?
This is a huge plus.
Or, what if they're a rising star?
You can't judge a person by their appearance alone.
She said both good and bad things.
This left Zhang Nianqiu filled with resentment towards Lin Xuan, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything, so she could only secretly roll her eyes at Lin Xuan from behind.
Lin Xuan was not unaware of her actions.
They weren't angry, though.
It's just a little girl's mentality.
Just as Qin Meier was chattering away and Zhang Nianqiu was whispering amongst themselves, Lin Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at something not far ahead.
There, streaks of light flashed by, like shooting stars, and fell swiftly into the valley ahead.
His eyes narrowed immediately.
At the same time, the tokens on Qin Meier and the Fourth Elder also rang.
Without hesitation, Qin Meier immediately picked up the token.
The message from the token entered her mind.
"A supreme treasure has appeared! The Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect and the Purple Firmament Palace are locked in battle! Come quickly!"
Immediately, she and the Fourth Elder exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment and emotion in each other's eyes.
What happened?
Zhang Nianqiu was still a little confused, but soon, her token also rang.
After picking up the token, she glanced at it and blurted out, "What? The Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect and the Purple Firmament Palace are fighting up ahead?"
"Hiss..."
"Fourth Grandfather, look at us..." Qin Meier didn't make a decision immediately, but looked at the Fourth Elder.
The Fourth Elder pondered for a moment, then nodded to her.
"Let's go."
"Take advantage of the chaos and see what happens; maybe we can snag something bargain!"
That would be excellent, of course.
Qin Meier had no objections.
But no one noticed that Lin Xuan, standing beside everyone, flipped his hand and took out his sect token from his Storage Bag.
The token shimmered faintly.
His Divine Sense probed into it, and a message immediately popped up.
" The Purple Firmament Palace is forcing people to do things they don't want to do and bullying others by abusing their power. Disciples of Ximu Peak are in danger. Anyone from Ximu Peak who sees this message, come quickly!"
