Qin Wentian stared at Jiang Ziyu. He didn't expect that Jiang Ziyu would suddenly change the topic and actually invite him to the ancient Jiang Clan as a guest.
However, Jiang Ziyu's heart was filled with unfathomable intentions. It was naturally impossible for him to go. He replied, "Earlier you said that the secret on me would cause a great calamity to befall you. Now, you are inviting me to the ancient Jiang Clan? Don't you find it laughable? If I join the ancient Jiang Clan, wouldn't I be at your mercy?"
"I guarantee that if you are willing to go, I will respect you as a guest and treat you with the utmost respect." Jiang Ziyu smiled. His eyes flickered with a mysterious light, as though there was always a sense of self-confidence hidden within, causing others to be unable to see through him.
"An ancient clan that has existed for countless years, who knows what methods they have? Most probably, they can easily control the thoughts of others." Qin Wentian coldly laughed in his heart. Jiang Ziyu was too naive, he wasn't such a foolish person.
"I'm not free." Qin Wentian faintly spoke.
"You don't dare?" Jiang Ziyu provoked.
"You want me to go to your Jiang Clan with just a single sentence? Do you have that much face?" Qin Wentian coldly laughed. Wasn't Jiang Ziyu's provocation a little too laughable?
"Hehe." Jiang Ziyu laughed, he wasn't surprised. It would be strange if Qin Wentian agreed.
Inclining his head, he stared at the two silhouettes that were flying higher and higher. Jiang Ziyu spoke in a low voice, "Seems like you are determined to obstruct me today."
"This was originally a battle between the holy maidens of the Namhwang Clan. We are only protecting them. You have done too much." Qin Wentian replied.
"Since I am a protector, why wouldn't I dare to use my strength to help someone become the Holy Successor? Your way of thinking is the laughable one. However, given your strength, I truly have no way to ignore your existence. Seems like this time around, the position of the Holy Successor of the Namhwang Clan will be seized by Namhwang Yunxi." Jiang Ziyu said calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He was just a spectator and did not care much about the fight for the Holy Successor.
Jiang Ziyu's words gave Qin Wentian a feeling. It was like him coming here to help Nanfeng Qingruo obtain the position of the Holy Successor was merely a tempering exercise for him. His state of heart was extraordinary and he could see things very calmly. If he could fight, he would do his best. If he couldn't, he would instantly calm down and toss everything to the back of his mind, completely forgetting about it. Such a calm state of mind was akin to cultivating in a buddhist art, terrifying to the extreme.
Kong Ye was Nanfeng Shengge's helper. His state of mind was far inferior to Jiang Ziyu.
"Qin Wentian, although your combat power is very strong, you haven't been able to use it to your heart's content in this battle. If you fight with all your strength, you're likely to lose." Jiang Ziyu seemed to be very interested in Qin Wentian. Before this, he didn't speak much but ever since he fought against Qin Wentian, his interest in Qin Wentian was piqued. He wanted to see through Qin Wentian.
This genius who looked even younger than him actually had such combat prowess? This truly made him curious. Earlier when he fought against Qin Wentian, Jiang Ziyu saw many extraordinary aspects of Jiang Ziyu.
"There's no meaning in discussing matters of the unknown." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Jiang Ziyu was observing him, he was also observing him. Right now, he wasn't in a hurry. As long as Jiang Ziyu was here, Namhwang Yunxi would be able to win. There was nothing more he needed to do and he was more than happy to be idle.
"Indeed." Jiang Ziyu nodded in agreement. "They said that you are in the Immortal Qianbian Gate. Are you a disciple of the Emperor Qianbian?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Qin Wentian asked.
Jiang Ziyu smiled. "If you didn't become a disciple of him, you can join my Jiang Clan. I'll recommend you and I'll definitely nurture you well, treating you as a descendant of my Jiang Clan. Naturally, even if you really became a disciple of my Jiang Clan, you can change your sect. The foundations of any one of the three ancient clans of the Southern Region are incomparably deep. The Immortal Qianbian Gate, a newly established power in the immortal realms, can't be compared to them. I believe you should be able to tell a thing or two from the Namhwang Clan."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no interest in your Jiang Clan at all." Qin Wentian replied.
"You are not a disciple of the Emperor Qianbian." Jiang Ziyu suddenly laughed.
"You can guess as you wish." Qin Wentian faintly replied.
"There's no need to guess, I already know the answer." Jiang Ziyu's smile was unfathomable. Qin Wentian stared at his eyes, only to feel that this man was truly a tough character to deal with. Could it be like what Nanfeng Shengge said, that he had cultivated the Heavenly Eyes of the Buddhist Sect and was able to see through all illusions, even the thoughts of others? Wasn't this a little too terrifying?
Nanfeng Shengge had been listening to their conversation. Kong Ye was beside her and she discovered that although Kong Ye could already be considered a genius at the peak of the Southern Region, he was still a few levels lower when compared to these two young men before her. Qin Wentian defeated him with a cultivation base at the first-level of immortal-foundation while Jiang Ziyu was extremely mysterious, able to unravel the secrets of their Namhwang Clan's parasol leaves. His combat prowess was also extremely terrifying.
Seems like in this generation of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Ziyu should be a demon-level character. He came out to temper himself, yet he actually chose to temper himself in the Namhwang Clan. Such a temperament was truly terrifying.
If this man matured, he would definitely be a terrifying character in the Jiang Clan.
Naturally, compared to Jiang Ziyu, Qin Wentian caused her to be even more shocked. After all, Jiang Ziyu was an elite of this generation of the Jiang Clan and had the backing of an ancient clan. However, Qin Wentian was also so terrifying. With such potential, it was possible that he would lead an entire generation in the future.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the sky only to see a towering red light cascading down from above. Namhwang Yunxi borrowed the power of the parasol staircase and had already reached the peak of this ancient parasol tree.
Nanfeng Qingruo was ultimately still a little lacking. She inclined her head and stared upwards as a hint of disappointment could be seen in her eyes. Even after reaching this step, did she still fail?
A beam of fiery light cascaded down from the sky, incinerating the parasol staircase. Nanfeng Qingruo's silhouette flashed as she floated downwards. Very swiftly, she arrived at the location where Qin Wentian and the others were at. She stood beside Jiang Ziyu as her beautiful eyes cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian. However, she merely smiled and spoke, "Sir Qin is truly awesome, you actually managed to send Namhwang Yunxi to the position of the Holy Successor."
"Holy Maiden Qingruo, do you think so?" Qin Wentian spoke. "The reason why Namhwang Yunxi could become the Holy Maiden was because of her own abilities. Her comprehension abilities are the strongest among all the holy maidens, hence, she was always ahead of them. All I can do is to protect her. If not, if Holy Maiden Qingruo's comprehension abilities surpassed Namhwang Yunxi earlier, even with Jiang Ziyu around, I wouldn't be able to stop Holy Maiden Qingruo from ascending to the peak."
"Your words aren't without logic. However, the role of a protector is also extremely great. Shengge is one of the holy maidens of our Namhwang Clan with extraordinary comprehension abilities. But wasn't she also blocked by someone else?" Nanfeng Qingruo smiled, her words causing Kong Ye to have a look of guilt on his face. It was because of his defeat that led to Nanfeng Shengge's failure.
"Since things have already passed, there's no need for sister Qingruo to say anything more." Nanfeng Shengge casually smiled. Qin Wentian stared at the smiles in the eyes of the two holy maidens as he silently sighed in admiration at how extraordinary the Namhwang Clan was. These two holy maidens were both heaven's chosen and would surely have extraordinary accomplishments in the future.
"Okay, I won't say anymore. But I really wish to go up and take a look." Nanfeng Qingruo inclined her head and stared in the direction of the parasol tree. Her eyes were filled with hidden bitterness as she stared at Qin Wentian. Her beautiful countenance caused Qin Wentian to be unable to endure it.
The holy maidens of the Namhwang Clan were all fairy-like beauties. This was especially so for the two before him and Namhwang Yunxi. They were the most beautiful among them. In addition, Qin Wentian still felt a little guilty in front of Nanfeng Qingruo and Nanfeng Shengge. This was especially so when he saw the bitterness in Nanfeng Qingruo's eyes. It was as though she knew something. Qin Wentian didn't dare to look her in the eye.
And as they were conversing, at the top of the parasol tree, Nanfeng Yunxi had a look of pilgrimage on her face. Her beautiful eyes stared ahead as her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
In fact, Namhwang Yunxi's breathing was somewhat hurried.
"There's no need to be nervous." An ethereal voice that seemed to originate from the primordial era drifted into Namhwang Yunxi's ears. Her heart was still racing as she stared at the incomparably sacred parasol tree before her. In front of this golden parasol tree, there was actually a true phoenix. This phoenix was bathed in flames and its wings were extremely beautiful, incomparably holy. Its eyes were filled with wisdom and farsightedness, as though it could see through everything in the world.
"Are you the ancestor of my Namhwang Clan?" Namhwang Yunxi asked in a low voice. There was actually a phoenix residing in this ancestral land? This was simply shocking.
"You can be considered to be. I've existed together with the Namhwang Clan, from the birth of the Namhwang Clan until now." Although the old phoenix was right before her, its voice was still extremely ethereal. Namhwang Yunxi could sense a hint of gentleness in its eyes, causing her to feel a sense of serenity.
"Child, your immortal foundation is very perfect. You're only a step away from establishing a perfect saint-grade immortal foundation. In this era, if you didn't have any miraculous encounters, you wouldn't be able to establish such a perfect immortal foundation. Also, I can sense that your body has been baptized before." The phoenix spoke. Namhwang Yunxi nodded, "When Yunxi was in the City of Ancient Emperors, I had a miraculous encounter and bathed in the light of the sacred luminance, cleansing my body and even obtained a method to cultivate my immortal foundation."
"The protector should be the same as you, right? Both of you should have encountered a miraculous encounter in the same place, right?" The phoenix asked.
"Mhm." Namhwang Yunxi nodded.
"That's right." The phoenix smiled. After that, she asked, "Do you like him?"
Namhwang Yunxi started. Her beautiful eyes stared at the phoenix before her. Did she like Qin Wentian?
Before she entered the City of Ancient Emperors and met Qin Wentian, she had never thought that she would like someone else. But what about now?
"Tell me with your heart. This is very important. It's impossible for the Southern Phoenix Matriarch to marry an outsider unless he is willing to marry into the Namhwang Clan." The phoenix gently spoke. Namhwang Yunxi fell silent for a moment before she gave her answer.
