"Master Duan."
As soon as Duan Lingtian and Tie Tai He entered the main hall, Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, left Liu Yan Jun, the guest from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, behind and greeted them.
A bright smile could be seen on Bai Ping's face.
"Sect leader."
Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly and nodded in greeting when he saw Bai Ping walking up to him.
… Meanwhile.
Zhou Shu Qiu who was standing behind Liu Yan Jun, the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, noticed Duan Lingtian. Before she could react, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect took the initiative to greet Duan Lingtian warmly.
Zhou Shu Qiu felt as though she had been in a long time.
The purple-clad young man who was not famous in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was now a VIP whom even the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, treated so warmly?
"Master Duan, this is Elder Liu, the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. I don't think there's a need for me to introduce this person, right? "
After Bai Ping greeted Tie Tai He, he led Duan Lingtian to Liu Yan Jun and Zhou Shu Qiu and introduced them to Duan Lingtian with a smile on his face.
It was more accurate to say he was only introducing one person.
After all, he did not introduce Zhou Shu Qiu.
"Yes."
Even if Bai Ping did not introduce Zhou Shu Qiu, Duan Lingtian recognized her.
She was the third miss of the Zhou Clan in the capital of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
She was the junior sister of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
She was the last disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
"I heard Master Duan is not even 100 years old, but he possesses an extraordinary cultivation base and amazing skills in alchemy. Not only that, but he's also the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect … Now that I've met him in person, I can see that he's indeed a dragon among men."
When Duan Lingtian appeared, Liu Yan Jun had sensed through her Divine Consciousness that Duan Lingtian was not even 100 years old.
For a moment, the shock in her heart was not small.
She had heard of Duan Lingtian's achievements before.
However, hearsay was only hearsay. Seeing it with one's own eyes was a completely different concept and a completely different feeling.
"Elder Liu, you flatter me."
Duan Lingtian looked at Liu Yanjun calmly and nodded. Then, he went straight to the point and asked, "I wonder … Elder Liu, why did you ask me to come here and say that you wanted to see me?"
"It's not that I have something to do."
As Liu Yanjun spoke, she looked at Zhou Shu Qiu who was standing next to her and said, "My junior niece was the one who said she was looking for you. According to her, both of you are considered old acquaintances."
"We are indeed old acquaintances."
Duan Lingtian's gaze landed on Zhou Shuqiu. His eyes were filled with doubt. He didn't know why Zhou Shuqiu was looking for him. Could it be that she wanted to poach him again and bring him to the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect?
"Duan Lingtian, I have something to tell you … It's about Murong Bing. Can we talk in private? "
Zhou Shuqiu looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Murong Bing?"
If Zhou Shuqiu had mentioned something else, Duan Lingtian would not have been interested. However, now that Zhou Shuqiu mentioned Murong Bing, it was difficult for him to reject her invitation.
"Let's talk outside."
Duan Lingtian bade farewell to Zhou Shuqiu before he walked out of the hall.
Zhou Shuqiu followed closely behind him.
For a time, only Bai Ping, Tie Tai He, and Liu Yanjun remained in the main hall.
Outside the main hall.
"What happened to Murong Bing again?"
Duan Lingtian asked in a deep voice as he looked at Zhou Shuqiu.
Although he seemed calm on the surface, a hint of concern could be seen in the depths of his eyes.
"She's fine for now."
Zhou Shu Qiu shook her head and said, "I came to look for you to tell you that the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect's plan to arrange a marriage for her was a lie."
She didn't marry anyone, and she doesn't need to marry anyone. "
Zhou Shuqiu said.
"What?!"
As soon as Zhou Shuqiu finished speaking, Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically. His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Zhou Shuqiu. "You lied to me?"
"Yes."
Zhou Shuqiu had no choice but to admit it when she saw Duan Lingtian's hostile gaze.
"Why did you do that?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a dark expression on his face, "Do you think it's pointless to do that?"
Duan Ling Tian did not expect Zhou Shu Qiu was lying when she said the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect wanted Murong Bing to marry someone else. That was not true at all.
He had been so worried that he had made a promise to the mysterious young man with the surname Pei to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect to help him get Murong Bing out of the marriage.
He did not expect it was all a lie!
It was all a lie!
"I'm sorry."
Zhou Shu Qiu quickly apologized when she saw how angry Duan Ling Tian was. She continued to say, "At that time, I only wanted to see how important Murong Bing is to you. I wanted to see if she's important to you."
"What does it have to do with you whether she's important to me or not?"
Duan Lingtian asked coldly.
"Murong Bing is my best friend. She asked me to take care of you and save you when you were being hunted by the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect's powerhouses. It's my first time seeing her care for someone so much, let alone a man. For this reason, before I met you, I was curious about what kind of person you are. "
Zhou Shuqiu did not seem to notice the coldness in Duan Lingtian's voice.
"And after seeing you, I want to know even more. You, who is so important to her … Do you care about her as well? For this reason, I made up the story to see your reaction.
However, I didn't expect your reaction to be so strong. You even turned around and left. I didn't even have the time to tell you that I made up the story. "
Zhou Shuqiu sighed when she reached the end of her sentence.
"Did she really ask you to take care of me and save me when I was being hunted by the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect's powerhouses?"
After listening to Zhou Shu Qiu's words, Duan Ling Tian was most interested in this sentence.
"There's no need for me to lie to you."
Zhou Shuqiu said.
"Is … Is she alright?"
After learning that Zhou Shuqiu was Murong Bing's best friend, Duan Lingtian was much more courteous to Zhou Shuqiu.
"Not good."
Zhou Shuqiu shook her head and said, "Since you've taken her virginity, she won't be able to become the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Her goal has always been to become the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
Since she was young, her master has been raising her to be the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. "
Zhou Shuqiu said.
"Right now, her master still doesn't know that she's lost her virginity … If her master finds out, even if she doesn't get executed by her master, her master will at least cripple her cultivation!"
Zhou Shuqiu's tone turned solemn as she continued to say, "Although the current Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect takes good care of her, if her master wants to punish her, nobody will be able to stop her!"
"Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs … She was raised by her master since she was young. How can her master treat her like that?"
Duan Lingtian asked in a deep voice.
The worry in the depths of his eyes grew even more intense.
"That's because you don't know her master well … Do you know that her master once had an outstanding disciple who was being groomed by her master to be the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect? However, she fell in love with a man and lost her virginity. In the end, her master sentenced her to death!
At that time, many high-ranking officials in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, including the Sect Leader, tried to dissuade her master. However, her master refused to listen to anyone and directly killed her direct disciple whom she had personally nurtured! "
Zhou Shuqiu's voice turned even more solemn as she spoke. A hint of worry could be seen in her eyes. It was as though she was afraid Murong Bing would suffer the same fate as her master.
"Why don't she leave the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect before her master finds out about this? Aren't you her sister and best friend? Why don't you ask her to join the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect instead? "
Duan Lingtian said in a deep voice.
"That's what I want as well … However, it's impossible for her to leave the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
"She completely treats her master as her own mother. When I parted with her the last time, she was still considering whether to tell her master about that matter."
However, before I parted ways with her, I told her not to tell her master about this matter, "Zhou Shuqiu said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Thank you."
As soon as Zhou Shuqiu finished speaking, Duan Lingtian thanked Zhou Shuqiu again. After all, Zhou Shuqiu had saved Murong Bing.
"You don't have to thank me. You weren't even born when I first met her … I only did that because I didn't want anything to happen to her. It has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Shuqiu shook her head.
"However, even if she didn't tell her master about this matter, and even if the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was willing to help her hide it, I'm afraid it won't last for long.
Although the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect could delay the selection of the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect for a while, it's impossible for her to delay it any longer. "
Zhou Shuqiu said solemnly.
"What I'm worried about the most is that once her master finds out about this matter, she won't let her go. After all, her Senior Sister had served as a warning for her. “
Zhou Shuqiu's expression turned even grimmer when she reached the end of her sentence.
Duan Lingtian's expression darkened when he heard Zhou Shuqiu's words.
"Initially, I thought it was impossible for you to bring her away from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect … However, when I came to Tai Yi City and learned that you've become the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, I finally saw hope.
