After Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi left, Bailu Yi's pure and innocent eyes stared fixedly at Qin Wentian.
At this moment, the coldness radiating from Qin Wentian had already dissipated. Noticing Bailu Yi staring at him, he couldn't help but smile as he asked, "You like looking at me so much?"
"Look at your arrogant face." Bailu Yi glared at him before shifting her gaze away. Eventually, she couldn't help but turn her gaze onto Qin Wentian as she asked in a light voice, "Mo Qingcheng, is she really your girlfriend?"
Earlier, she had heard the conversation between Qin Wentian and Bai Fei. Bai Fei was someone from the Pill Emperor Hall, and not only that, Qin Wentian had personally said that he would go to the Pill Emperor Hall to fetch Mo Qingcheng.
Back then, when Qin Wentian had mentioned Mo Qingcheng to her, Bailu Yi had thought that he was just joking.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian shrugged.
Bailu Yi's beautiful eyes brightened as she asked, "Can you tell me more about it? I'm very curious."
"Even beauties like to gossip?" Qin Wentian laughed, "Mo Qingcheng and I both come from a small country named Chu. That place is under the jurisdiction of the Nine Mystical Palace, and there's always some conflict between my clan and the Royal Clan. One time, I fainted in a forest, and Qingcheng saved me. However, I didn't know that it was her who saved me. She only told me about it after I got to know her."
Qin Wentian recounted the past to Bailu Yi, as Bailu Yi listened attentively. Her beautiful eyes shone with a brilliant light as she listened attentively to the story.
"You chopped off Hua Xiaoyun's arm?" Bailu Yi exclaimed in shock.
"Mhm, if it wasn't for the fact that Luo He was there, the Hua Clan wouldn't have spared me." Qin Wentian nodded his head.
"In that case, you came to the Moon Continent to look for Mo Qingcheng?" Bailu Yi felt extremely moved in her heart. From a small country, Qin Wentian had come all the way to the Moon Continent, one of the nine continents of Grand Xia.
She was very clear on how difficult it was to bring Mo Qingcheng away from the Pill Emperor Hall.
"The main reason is to kill Hua Xiaoyun. But of course, there's also the matter of your White Deer Institute," Qin Wentian replied.
"White Deer Institute?" Bailu Yi was taken aback, she didn't understand.
"If I tell you, don't blame me for not telling you before," Qin Wentian said.
Bailu Yi's curiosity was piqued when she saw the mysterious look on Qin Wentian's face. "Mhm, definitely."
"Do you know of the 'hidden' bloodline of the Azure Emperor?" Qin Wentian stared into Bailu Yi's eyes as he spoke. Bailu Yi's heart pounded violently as she halted her steps. This was the greatest secret of the White Deer Institute, something only the core members of the White Deer Institute knew of. Even after so many years, this secret had only grown fainter and fainter.
However, how did Qin Wentian know about this?
Seeing the expression on Bailu Yi's face, Qin Wentian already knew that Bailu Yi knew about this.
"You …" Bailu Yi's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian.
"I'm the successor of the Azure Faction." Qin Wentian replied, his words causing Bailu Yi's body to tremble involuntarily. She felt as though her brain had short-circuited.
Qin Wentian was the successor of the Azure Faction?
Qin Wentian stretched out his hand, retrieving a medallion. The word 'Azure' was engraved on the medallion.
"Azure Emperor Medallion." Bailu Yi's voice trembled. Seeing Qin Wentian keeping the medallion, she drew in a deep breath and asked, "In that case, are you here to take over the 'hidden' bloodline of the White Deer Institute?"
"Do you think that's possible?" Qin Wentian asked.
Bailu Yi contemplated for a moment before replying in a low voice, "It's hard to say. The White Deer Institute has existed for such a long time, and it would be extremely difficult to force them to obey just because of a command medallion."
"I don't have any intentions of making the White Deer Institute become my vassal force. But since you're from the Azure Faction, are you really willing to remain hidden in the Grand Xia Empire? Why can't you make the Grand Xia Empire tremble? "Qin Wentian laughed, his words casual and carefree. Yet, Bailu Yi's heart was filled with great waves of shock.
"This is also a risk. If we fail, the White Deer Institute would be consigned to eternal damnation," Bailu Yi replied seriously. "Qin Wentian, you have to promise me that before you have enough power, you will not spread the word that the White Deer Institute is part of the Azure Faction. When the Azure Emperor fell back then, too many transcendent powers had a hand in it. If they knew that the Azure Faction still exists, they would definitely exterminate them."
"Don't worry, before I have enough power, I will never let others know of my relationship with the White Deer Institute. At most, I'll let others misunderstand our relationship," Qin Wentian joked, his words causing Bailu Yi to glare at him.
"Fine, you have to work hard to gain the recognition of the White Deer Institute." A radiant smile appeared on Bailu Yi's face.
"In that case, you will support me?" Qin Wentian laughed, his words causing Bailu Yi to glare at him again. "Didn't you tell me because you want me to support you?"
Qin Wentian lowered his head and smiled. After that, he turned his gaze to the horizons and continued walking forward while he spoke in a low voice, "If you don't support me, I will directly give up on the White Deer Institute. The White Deer Institute will forever be the White Deer Institute."
Upon hearing Qin Wentian's words, Bailu Yi's heart trembled once more. If she didn't support him, Qin Wentian would give up on the Azure Faction. Not only that, it was such a big secret, yet Qin Wentian had told her not only because he wanted her support, but also because he wanted to know her attitude. This was trust. Qin Wentian had already treated her as one of the people he trusted the most.
"I'll wait for the day when the Azure Faction stands at the peak of Grand Xia."
Qin Wentian's silhouette seemed to grow taller and taller. The smile on Bailu Yi's innocent face was as radiant as the sun. She also believed that Qin Wentian would be able to do it.
Qin Wentian and Bailu Yi continued walking forward, arriving at the place where Qin Wentian had killed the middle-aged man. However, before they could even get close, Qin Wentian halted his steps and gestured for Bailu Yi to keep quiet as he crouched behind the hill.
Qin Wentian's powerful perception could clearly sense that there were people from the Pill Emperor Hall, Zhan Chen and his beloved.
As the # 11 ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, Zhan Chen's speed of arriving here was extremely fast. Staring at his beloved Qing Yue, Zhan Chen retrieved a medicinal pill and passed it to her. "Qing Yue, eat this first, it will stimulate the energy in your body."
Qing Yue glanced at Zhan Chen, her beautiful eyes as calm as still water. After which, she received the medicinal pill from Zhan Chen and swallowed it without hesitation.
"There's already someone who came here before us. There's no need to doubt his strength, but he's already dead. And just now, the third brother of the Li Clan failed to break the formation and died inside." Zhan Chen pointed to the two interspatial rings in front of him as he calmly continued, "This is the most dangerous place. However, if we pass through this path, we might be able to reach the exit and obtain the Ascendant's inheritance."
As he spoke, Zhan Chen's gentle and refined countenance flickered with sharpness. That was ambition.
He was the strongest participant in this trial. If the Ascendant could obtain the inheritance, it would definitely belong to him.
"Mhm." Qing Yue was clad in a light blue robe, looking clean and beautiful. Her gaze when she looked at Zhan Chen was always so gentle and beautiful, even at this moment.
"Zhan Chen, you will definitely succeed." Qing Yue smiled. At this instant, her smile was incomparably beautiful. Even Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel his heart trembling as a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"After I die, the future of the Pill Emperor Hall will definitely belong to you." Qing Yue's smile was filled with a poignant beauty. Her words caused Zhan Chen's countenance to change as he stared at Qing Yue in shock.
"I know, that medicinal pill will not only stimulate my potential, it will also cause me to lose my rationality and listen to your every command." Qing Yue still had a smile on her face as she spoke. However, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she continued, "Zhan Chen, we've known each other for eight years. I understand you too well. From the first day we met, you have always been so clean and refined, but in your eyes, there's only ambition."
"I brought you into the Pill Emperor Hall, introduced you to my father, and allowed you to enter the tutelage of my Senior Granduncle. You've been so hardworking in your cultivation, and your achievements are clear for all to see. In these eight years, you've become the most dazzling person in the Pill Emperor Hall. You're always filled with ambition, only for the sake of your dreams."
Qing Yue smiled as she continued, "Back then, Senior Granduncle said that Qingcheng would become one of the most important people in the Pill Emperor Hall in the future. I know your heart has moved, but I'm no longer able to help you. However, Mo Qingcheng might be able to. The gaze you use to look at her, is the same as the gaze you used to look at me back then. I know that if it wasn't for me, Senior Granduncle would be more than willing to matchmake the two of you. The two of you are the two most dazzling figures in the Pill Emperor Hall, and I can only help you one last time."
After speaking, Qing Yue turned and walked towards the formation where the third brother of the Li Clan died. On the way here, there were already three people who had become Zhan Chen's stepping stones. And now, she was the last person to die.
Her heart ached. When Zhan Chen took out the medicinal pill, her heart had already died. She understood him too well. Even a single glance from him couldn't be hidden from her.
Since her heart had already died, what was the point of living on? Could it be that Zhan Chen really had to act against her personally?
How could she allow herself to witness such a scene? Even if she died, she wouldn't allow it.
From Qing Yue's body, the most beautiful Astral Soul was released. Wielding a sword with both hands, she released her aura to the extreme as she rushed into the formation.
Upon seeing that beautiful radiance, Zhan Chen's heart twitched as a malevolent expression of agony flashed past his face. However, very quickly, it was replaced by determination and ambition. That sharpness of his could not be shaken by anyone or anything. That was his Dao Heart.
The path he had walked all the way here was too bitter, too tiring. He would continue on this path until the point where he could look down upon the entire Grand Xia. This was his heart, it was unshakable!
Closing his eyes, Zhan Chen quietly sensed Qing Yue advancing forward, feeling her approaching death step by step. His heart had never been so calm before.
However at this moment, Zhan Chen's eyes abruptly snapped open as a terrifying cold light flickered within. After which, his silhouette flickered as he lunged towards the direction behind him. His speed was as fast as lightning, and his eyes were even sharper than swords!
