The elders just watched while the juniors mingled with each other.
That included Lin Fan and the elders from the Love Sect.
They had been watching over Xiao Ming’s group as they were surrounded, but they didn’t do anything. After all, if they did something, then the elders of the other groups would act as well.
That was the unspoken rule between cultivators.
Matters between juniors should be left to the juniors, elders shouldn’t interfere.
Only when the lives of the juniors were in danger would they be able to interfere.
After everyone left Xiao Ming’s group alone, Lin Fan revealed a faint smile.
It had turned out as he had expected and he was very satisfied with how Xiao Ming had acted. He knew that the Martial Might Sect would try something during this and he was glad to see that the Demon Palm Sect acted the way that he had expected them to act.
Though he was a bit confused as to why they had acted that way in the first place.
He could guess why, but if so, why didn’t they act sooner?
As he was thinking about this, Elder Qian came over.
Seeing him come over, Lin Fan felt a bit…strange.
Whenever Elder Qian came to see them, there would always be something that went wrong. So he didn’t really want to see Elder Qian anymore.
But at the same time, he wanted to see what the Martial Might Sect were planning, so it wasn’t as if he could avoid them.
Let alone the fact that there were those two from the Five Great Sects that were here.
But before Elder Qian could come over, there was someone that stopped him.
Elder Qian had a surprised look on his face when he saw this person step up in front of him before narrowing his eyes to say, “Sect Master Yin, do you have something you need from me?”
The one that he called Sect Master Yin just said with a smile, “I don’t have something I need from you, but the one that you want to meet. So I’ll be taking this opportunity before you.”
Elder Qian was taken aback when he heard this, but Sect Master Yin didn’t care.
He took advantage of this to turn around and head over in Lin Fan’s direction while Elder Qian was stunned.
By the time that Elder Qian recovered, he saw that he was already too late.
He took a step forward as if he still wanted to come over, but in the end, he stopped himself from heading over and turned to leave.
Lin Fan didn’t care about this as he focused on the one that was called Sect Master Yin that came over.
Sect Master Yin just stood there with a smile on his face, as if he was expecting something.
After looking at him for a bit, Lin Fan asked, “Are you the sect master of the Demon Palm Sect.”
Sect Master Yin had a look of appreciation in his eyes before giving a nod and saying, “Yes, that’s me.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at him even more before asking, “Are you here on someone else’s order?”
Sect Master Yin was surprised to hear this before looking around for a bit and then giving a nod.
Lin Fan didn’t ask anything else after seeing this and just said, “Then thank you for acting.”
Sect Master Yin was surprised again as he had expected something else, but he quickly revealed a smile and said, “It’s not a problem. We’ll do what we can to help you, but you should know how dangerous this place is. There’s only so much that we can help with.”
Lin Fan just gave a nod without saying anything else.
…
Xiao Ming was surprised by how much Mo Sha had changed from the first time that they met.
Or rather, it should be said that she was surprised by Mo Sha’s real personality.
The personality that he had displayed when they first met was nothing more than an act and the personality that he had now was his real personality.
“That was really cool how you stood up to that group from the Martial Might Sect. You even made my heart flutter with how handsome you were.” Mo Sha said with a faint smile on his lips.
It was almost as if he was acting coquettish with the way that he said this.
Xiao Ming didn’t know what to say and could only reveal a bitter smile when she heard this.
Mo Sha didn’t seem to mind as he continued by saying, “Though I think you would look better in a short skirt instead of these pants. It would give you a more feminine look while also not detracting from the heroic feel that you have.”
Xiao Ming’s lips twitched when she heard this.
She knew that Mo Sha didn’t have any ill intentions when he said this. It even seemed like he was being genuine about his advice.
It was just strange hearing this advice from a bald man like Mo Sha.
It was the same for the others of the Demon Palm Sect.
All of them seemed to have similar personalities and they were all bald.
It gave people a strange chill that ran down their spines when they saw them acting like this.
But it didn’t seem to bother those from the Demon Palm Sect as they kept chatting with the Love Sect group.
Eventually, they came to accept the Demon Palm Sect for the way that they acted.
Even if they acted this way, they didn’t seem to have any ill intentions towards them. So they knew better to judge them based on their appearance and judge them based on their personalities.
They found that they were quite easy to talk to and they were quite interesting once they got over the strange way that they talked.
It was the same for Xiao Ming and Mo Sha.
Though she had a strange look on her face when she first started talking to him, it didn’t take long before she was talking to him properly.
With the way that she laughed from time to time, it even seemed like she was enjoying their chat quite a bit.
That immediately caused Huang Xie and Yu Huang to reveal jealous looks.
Mo Sha seemed to sense this, so he made an excuse with Xiao Ming and came over to talk to the two of them.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang were both surprised to see this, but if it meant that Mo Sha wasn’t talking to Xiao Ming, they didn’t mind it. They were even planning on keeping Mo Sha here so he wouldn’t be able to go back.
But they never expected what Mo Sha would say first.
“So the two of you both like her?” He said that with a smile on his face, as if he wasn’t fazed at all by the fact that he was exposing them like this.
Both Huang Xie and Yu Huang were taken aback when they heard this.
Both of them opened and closed their mouths as they tried to come up with some kind of excuse, but neither of them were able to say a thing as they just stuttered like that.
But there were a few seconds where they looked at each other as if they were thinking, “So he did feel that way about her too…”
Mo Sha’s smile became wider when he saw them acting like this, but he just remained silent as if he was enjoying their panic.
After a while, Huang Xie finally said, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Yu Huang quickly followed up by saying, “You’re just trying to deflect from yourself, aren’t you?”
Mo Sha shook his head with that same smile before saying, “It seems that you two are mistaken about something. I have no intention of getting in between your love triangle here. Rather, I’m just happy to watch and see how it will end.”
Huang Xie and Yu Huang said at the same time, “What love triangle? You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Though the way that they said it was a bit too rushed that it seemed like they were admitting their true feelings like this.
Mo Sha didn’t say anything as he looked at them with a knowing smile.
The two of them couldn’t help backing down a bit when they saw him looking at them like this.
After a moment of silence, Mo Sha finally said, “I think that you’re still mistaken about one thing, I’m not interested in her. Rather, I’m more interested in the two of you.”
Huang Xie and Yu Huang were both confused when they heard this.
Mo Sha didn’t seem to care as he stepped forward and leaned in to say in a soft voice, “You two are both fine men, I think that we’ll get along just fine.”
Huang Xie and Yu Huang once again didn’t understand what he was saying, but they couldn’t help feeling a chill run down their spine when they heard this. It was as if there was something off putting to them about the way that Mo Sha said this.
Mo Sha moved back with the same smile on his face and said, “Regardless of which one of you wins her affection, it means that the other one will be heartbroken. I just have to wait for my chance.”
Huang Xie and Yu Huang couldn’t help taking a step back when they heard this.
They looked at each other before…they suddenly turned and walked away.
They completely forgot about their plans to stall Mo Sha here and to keep him away from Xiao Ming.
There was this instinct inside of them that told them to get away from him.
When the two of them left Mo Sha, Xiao Ming came over to ask, “What happened?”
Mo Sha shook his head with another smile as he said, “Nothing. We were just having a small talk and they had something else to do.”
Xiao Ming had a confused look when she heard this, but she gave a nod in the end.
“These three, they really are interesting to watch.” Mo Sha thought to himself.
