The elder of the Moon Clan was quiet too. Chu Yaoyao and Hua Jieyu were both rare geniuses of the clan. Chu Yaoyao was the Virgin while Hua Jieyu was the one who could possibly challenge her position in the future.
Having a conflict over something small like this, it was hard to say who was in the wrong. Perhaps they both had their own reason. But no matter who she sided with, the other would be upset.
Besides Chu Yaoyao, Qin Li watched this, eyes falling onto Hua Jieyu. “Yaoyao,” he said softly. “How about you give in to your junior sister? Don’t make it hard for the elders.”
As soon as he spoke, many of the Moon Clan looked to him. He seemed to be speaking up for Hua Jieyu but there was another meaning. It was as if Hua Jieyu wasn’t following the rules, making it hard for the elders, so he wanted Chu Yaoyao to take a step back.
“Junior Sister, what do you think?” a beautiful woman asked the one beside her. It was Hua Jieyu’s teacher.
Hua Jieyu’s teacher gazed at Hua Jieyu and smiled. “Jieyu, your senior sister is right too. Right now, cultivation is the most important for you and Yaoyao is thinking for you too. You won’t go this time.”
Hua Jieyu looked to her teacher. Her teacher was extremely nice to her so she naturally said this for a reason. Hua Jieyu felt down but still nodded. “Okay.”
With that, the atmosphere recovered. Chu Yaoyao smiled and said, “I wanted you to stay because I wish you will cultivate well but didn’t consider your feelings. I hope you will forgive my faults.”
“It’s okay,” Hua Jieyu said, shaking her head. Then she walked towards the woman on the other side of her teacher. “Senior Sister,” she called softly.
“Yes?” The girl nodded.
“If Ye Futian comes to look for me at Chaoge City,” Hua Jieyu said with a faint smile, “tell him that I’m doing well in the clan and improved a lot. I didn’t go this time so I can cultivate. Tell him not to worry.”
The senior sister nodded and smiled. “Alright. Anything else?”
Hua Jieyu’s eyes sparkled. A shy expression emerged on her face. She lowered her voice and said, “And tell him to remember that someone will always wait for him. Don’t do anything bad.”
The woman’s eyes flickered and she grinned at Hua Jieyu. These words were ambiguous. Hua Jieyu blushed. She was so beautiful that all the girls were jealous.
“Junior Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely send the message without missing any word,” the woman said, chuckling.
Hua Jieyu nodded shyly and murmured, “I’ll go cultivate now.” With that, she left.
“This girl…” Hua Jieyu’s teacher shook her head with mirth.
“Teacher, it seems that she’s deeply in love. Why won’t you let her go?” the woman asked quietly.
“Give her some motivation to cultivate,” Hua Jieyu’s teacher said. The woman was thoughtful. She looked to Chu Yaoyao and vaguely understood the teacher
Her junior sister had a very chill personality. Other than working hard in cultivation, she didn’t bother with anything else. She was really like a fairy from heaven who didn’t have any wishes. She didn’t even seem interested in the Virgin’s position. This kind of personality was likeable, of course, but sometimes, not competing for anything was bad too.
Furthermore, even if she didn’t compete, others still might have thoughts.
…
People from the top forces and upper forces from all over the Eastern Barren Territory traveled towards Chaoge City.
It had been a long time since the Eastern Barren Territory had such a grand occasion. Whether it was the opening of the Dongqin College or the wedding between the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan, they were both big events. More importantly, the top talents would challenge each other in the Chaoge City. How could anyone miss this?
On the Book Mountain, the College had already chosen who would attend.
The opening of the Dongqin College and Lu Nantian’s challenge towards Gu Dongliu were all targeted at the College. The other forces might not care but the College had to place higher importance on this than the others.
This time, the College sent the best of the best from the strong cultivators of the Noble Plane to the younger ones in the Dharma Plane.
All the disciples of the Cottage grouped together. The College had come to urge them to leave. The Cottage and College would be together this time. They couldn’t show any divisions when faced with the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan.
The College actually wanted to leave a few days ago but the Cottage didn’t seem to be in a hurry. The College couldn’t do anything. They could just keep pressing them.
“Who wants to go?” Gu Dongliu asked everyone.
“Senior Brother, my excitement from the last time hasn’t ended and I hope to teach the Dongqin College a lesson this time. I’ll go with you,” Xue Ye said.
“Senior Brother, I feel that the juniors want to go too. Should we go together?” Luo Fan asked. He saw Yi Xiaoshi look at him with bright eyes as if wanting to try something.
Ye Futian sighed at this. They all felt cooped up on the mountain but he didn’t want to leave. His two senior sisters were so gentle and nice. But seeing as Jieyu might go to Chaoge City, he had to go too. Further, he naturally wanted to witness the fight between Gu Dongliu and Donghua Clan’s Lu Nantian.
“You all don’t want to stay on the mountain?” Zhuge Hui smiled at everyone and they all shrunk back.
Xue Ye stood up straight and said righteously, “The Donghua Clan overestimated themselves and dared to challenge our Third Senior Brother. I naturally have to see with my own eyes how he is defeated. If we miss this, it’ll be a regret for life.”
“Yes, how can we not go to Third Senior Brother’s battle? Even though we want to stay here, we also want to witness how he displays his mightiness,” Luo Fan added.
Shameless, Ye Futian thought. He didn’t want to be associated with them. Giving them a look, he said, “Fourth and Fifth Senior Brothers are right. Last time, Third Senior Brother’s fighting was extraordinary but it’s still not enough for us. We must go support him in the Chaoge City and witness his glory.”
Gu Dongliu looked at them all and nodded lightly. “That all makes sense. Since that is so, let us all go.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Everyone looked excited. Yi Xiaoshi was so touched that he almost cried. He could finally leave the mountain…
“Will you and Xing’er go?” Gu Dongliu asked Zhuge Hui.
“You all go have fun. Xing’er and I will remain at the Cottage,” Zhuge Hui said calmly before leaving.
Beitang Xing’er gazed at Gu Dongliu and smiled. “Third Senior Brother, I wish to see your fight with Lu Nantian but since Second Senior Sister won’t go, I must accompany her.”
“Oh, then accompany her well.” Gu Dongliu nodded.
Zhuge Hui had pretty much raised Beitang Xing’er. The teacher was so lazy that he tossed the girl to Zhuge Hui after bringing her back. Therefore, their relationship was very close. Though Zhuge Hui was the senior sister, she was more like a parent.
“I’ll wait for your good news,” Beitang Xing’er said with a smile.
Gu Dongliu nodded. Then he told Yi Xiaoshi, “Tell the College to get ready. We’ll leave now.”
“Okay.” Yi Xiaoshi ran away, extremely excited.
After a while, the square above Book Mountain’s steps was filled with the people. The College was ready.
At that time, a group appeared in the sky, traveling towards them. It was the Cottage—Gu Dongliu, Xue Ye, Luo Fan, Yi Xiaoshi, Ye Futian, and Yu Sheng.
The Cottage had eight people and six came out. This was probably the most Cottage disciples who had left the mountain at once.
The College’s group was also very powerful. They had 3000 disciples and this time, around 100 were prepared to leave. Other than some elders, it also contained some of the most talented in each plane.
Ye Futian didn’t know many people but he’d seen some in the Dharma Plane before. They included Xiao Wuji, Tang Ye, Su Muge, Tuoba Yun, Nangong Jiao, and Kua Shan.
The College also studied the disciples from the Cottage. The line-up this time was very powerful. The two mountain elders, Zong Xu and Zhu Qing, a man and a woman, both had high planes. Other than them, there was also Bai Lishu, the first disciple of the College Chief. He was one of the best in the College. His cultivation was equal to the mountain elders. His status in the College was like Gu Dongliu’s in the Cottage.
One could see from this line-up that the College placed high importance in this event.
“Gu Dongliu and the Cottage greets the mountain elders.” Gu Dongliu bowed to Zong Xu and Zhu Qing. He was proud but that didn’t mean he had no manners.
The mountain elders had the same status as his teacher. As someone in a younger generation, he obviously had to be polite. Seeing him bow, the other disciples also bowed.
“Please rise. Gu Dongliu, are you confident?” Zhu Qing gazed at Gu Dongliu. This battle was extremely important to the College.
“I’ve never met Lu Nantian,” Gu Dongliu replied.
Zhu Qing nodded and didn’t ask anything else. Gu Dongliu had never even seen the man before. If he said he was confident, he was also being arrogant. It was too early to say anything before being clear what the opponent’s abilities were like.
“Let’s go,” Zong Xu said. The group immediately started departing.
At the foot of the mountain, the people who saw the strong cultivators in the sky were all shaken. The College’s line-up was terrifying this time!
