Qing Chen's expression was cold. Qing Bi asked tentatively, "Sect Leader, why don't we get someone else to receive that genius disciple from the Wind Sun Palace? It doesn't have to be Ling Xian, right?"
"It would be great if we could get someone else to receive him. Do you think I forced Qing Ling Xian …" Sect Leader Qing Chen suddenly became angry. "You know the situation our sect is in now. Why would the Wind Sun Palace come to our Thousand Shadows Sect for no reason? That old bastard, Taoist Feng, already told me that he sent Feng Xin for a matchmaking session. "
Even Qing Bi didn't know about this. Now that she knew the truth, she was shocked. "No wonder. I was wondering why someone from the Wind Sun Palace would be so kind as to visit our Thousand Shadows Sect … Sect Leader Qing Chen, could it be that Feng Xin has his eyes on Zhao Ling Xian?"
Qing Chen nodded. She felt helpless about the current situation.
Qing Bi immediately said, "Sect Leader, if that's the case, then we can't let Ling Xian come. You know how stubborn that girl is. If she finds out the truth, she'll be furious."
Of course, Qing Chen had thought about this before. However, the Thousand Shadows Sect's position as one of the Five Supreme Masters was in danger. They could only rely on the marriage alliance with the Wind Sun Palace to tide them over. In front of the interests of the sect, how could she care about Zhao Ling Xian's opinion?
"I've already promised Daoist Feng. That Feng Xin is already on his way. If nothing goes wrong, he'll be here in an hour. There's no room for discussion. Even if Ling Xian doesn't show up, she'll have to show up …"
Qing Bi looked at Qing Chen in disbelief. The two of them, along with Qing Ying, had joined the Thousand Shadows Sect together. At that time, the three of them were very close. They were innocent, mischievous, and kind-hearted.
Now that Qing Ying had disappeared and Qing Chen had become cold-blooded after becoming the sect leader, Qing Bi felt helpless.
"Sect Leader, what's Qiao Feng's background? He didn't just come to find Zhao Ling Xian. He also mentioned Senior Sister Qing Ying. "Qing Bi changed the topic.
Qing Chen's eyes flickered. Even she didn't know what was going on. However, the most important thing right now was to stabilize the Thousand Shadows Sect's position. As for Qin Feng, Qing Chen wasn't interested.
"Alright, go and persuade Qing Ling Xian again. Tell her to change into a new set of clothes and wait to receive the esteemed guest," Qing Chen said in a commanding tone.
However, Qing Bi didn't move for a long time. She looked like she was in a difficult position. "Sect Leader, Ling Xian wouldn't receive the disciples of the Wind Sun Palace. I suspect that she really does know that Qiao Feng, and they might even be lovers. Otherwise, why would the Spirit Immortals react so strongly when they heard about the Spirit Immortal City? Then why did Qiao Feng disregard his life and insist on seeing Ling Xian? "
Qing Bi's analysis made Qing Chen suddenly realize something. She had been focused on protecting her position as one of the sect's Five Venerables and had not really cared about anything else.
"Based on what you've said, that's really possible. Then all the more we can't let Ling Xian meet with that Qiao guy … Where's Ling Xian? Take me there right now. I'll convince her myself. "
Qing Bi had no choice but to take Qing Chen to find Zhao Ling Xian.
After resting for a while, Qin Feng had stabilized the chaotic qi within his body. Seeing that Zhao Ling Xian still hadn't arrived, he felt a bit worried.
"Miss Qing Xiu, do you know where Ling Xian lives?" Qin Feng stood up from the ground. Instantly, the surrounding Thousand Shadow Sect disciples waited solemnly.
Qing Xiu stood in the middle with an anxious expression. She was afraid that the two sides would start fighting. "Young Master Qiao, I know where Ling Xian lives, but I can't take you there. Please don't make things difficult for me. Since the Sect Leader and Grand Elder said that they were going to find Ling Xian, they naturally wouldn't lie to you. "
Qin Feng still didn't really trust Qing Chen, but he couldn't make things difficult for Qing Xiu. However, at this moment, a white figure shot over and landed in front of Qin Feng.
"Elder Qing Bi, where's Ling Xian?" Qin Feng instantly became excited when he saw who had arrived.
Qing Bi had come alone, and Sect Leader Qing Chen was nowhere to be seen. There was a trace of helplessness in Qing Bi's expression. When she raised her head to look at Qin Feng, she tried her best to smile naturally. "Young Master Qiao, don't worry. Sect Leader Qing Chen has already gone to find Ling Xian. I've come to take you to the guest room to rest. Please follow me …"
Qin Feng had a good impression of Qing Bi, so he believed her words. "Alright, Grand Elder, please lead the way!"
The two of them walked into the Thousand Shadow Sect's inner courtyard. Along the way, Qin Feng realized that the sect was really filled with female disciples. All of them were delicate and refined. When they saw a man from the sect, they were so shy that they immediately walked away quickly.
Finally, they arrived at a quiet mountaintop. There was only a wooden house around it. Qing Bi said, "I'll have to trouble Young Master Qiao to rest here for now. When there's news from the Sect Leader, I'll take you to meet Ling Xian."
Qin Feng didn't suspect anything. "Grand Elder Qing Bi, you've been taking care of Ling Xian all this time, right? Is she doing well here? "
Qing Bi could see from Qin Feng's eyes how much he doted on Ling Xian. She was even more certain that the two of them were a couple. "Young Master Qiao, don't worry. I'm Ling Xian's master, and I treat her like my own child. Ling Xian's talent is outstanding, and she's the best candidate to cultivate our sect's Charm Technique. I wonder if Young Master Qiao can let Ling Xian stay and continue cultivating our sect's secret technique after you meet her? This is for the good of her future … "
Qing Bi didn't know why Qing Chen was looking for Ling Xian alone, so she first probed Qin Feng's attitude. If Qin Feng was a sensible person and was willing to let Zhao Ling Xian stay in the Thousand Shadows Sect to cultivate, then this matter would be easily resolved.
"Grand Elder Qing Bi, I can't give you a definite answer right now. It depends on Ling Xian herself. If she's willing to stay, I naturally won't stop her."
Now that Qin Feng had established his own faction in the Divine Continent, this land would be one of his areas of activity in the future. He didn't really care if Zhao Ling Xian stayed in the Thousand Shadows Sect.
Qing Bi was pleasantly surprised. She thought Qin Feng would definitely take Zhao Ling Xian away. As such, Qing Bi's impression of Qin Feng became better and better.
"That's right, Young Master Qiao, you're here to see Senior Sister Qing Ying? What's her relationship with you? "Qing Bi suddenly asked about Qing Ying.
At the mention of his mother, Qin Feng's calm emotions were thrown into disarray. However, he hadn't known Qing Bi for long, so it wasn't appropriate for him to reveal his relationship with his mother.
"We're not that close. I just want to see her." Qin Feng casually made up an excuse.
Qing Bi naturally didn't believe him, but she could tell that Qin Feng didn't want to say too much, so she didn't probe further.
As the two of them conversed, in Zhao Ling Xian's room, Qing Chen was trying her best to persuade her to receive the genius disciple from the Wind Sun Palace.
"Senior Qing Chen, don't say anymore. I won't receive Feng Xin." Zhao Ling Xian's attitude was as resolute as ever.
Qing Chen felt helpless. She suddenly said, "Ling Xian, do you already have someone you like?"
Zhao Ling Xian was startled. She hadn't expected Qing Chen to suddenly ask such a question.
"I won't hide it from Senior. I do have someone I like, and I'll only follow him for the rest of my life. Please don't force me." Zhao Ling Xian decided to lay her cards on the table.
A cold look flashed in Qing Chen's eyes as she continued to ask, "What's the name of your sweetheart?"
Zhao Ling Xian looked at Qing Chen in confusion. She felt that there was something off about this woman today. "Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. Let's not talk about it."
Qing Chen became more and more suspicious that Qiao Feng, who had come to the Thousand Shadows Sect, was Zhao Ling Xian's boyfriend. She immediately became anxious. If Zhao Ling Xian found out that Qiao Feng had come for her, the marriage between the Thousand Shadows Sect and the Wind Sun Palace would definitely fall apart.
"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. Can you tell me about the Spiritual Immortal City and the Spiritual Immortal Sect? The name of the sect is quite interesting. It's actually the same as your name … "Qing Chen started to beat around the bush.
At the mention of the Spiritual Immortal City, Zhao Ling Xian's eyes lit up. This was the last bit of hope in her heart. "Senior, can you take me to the Spiritual Immortal City? My man should be there."
Qiao Feng was a disciple of the Spiritual Immortal Sect. He had risked his life to come to the Thousand Shadows Sect to find Zhao Ling Xian. Now that Zhao Ling Xian said that her man was in the Spiritual Immortal City, Qing Chen completely understood.
At that moment, she was very anxious. The Wind Sun Palace's disciple was about to arrive. If she didn't resolve the matter between Zhao Ling Xian and Qiao Feng, the Thousand Shadows Sect's current crisis would be difficult to overcome.
At that moment, a disciple rushed into Zhao Ling Xian's room to report that the Wind Sun Palace's disciple, Feng Xin, had already arrived. This made Qing Chen even more anxious.
"I understand. First, arrange for young hero Feng Xin to rest in the guest room. Tell him that I'll bring Ling Xian to meet him in a bit."
The female disciple obeyed Qing Chen's order and retreated. Zhao Ling Xian immediately jumped up and shouted, "Senior, I said I won't appear. Why must you force me?"
Qing Chen suppressed his temper and said, "Ling Xian, you've already been at the Thousand Shadows Sect for three months. You can be considered half a disciple of our sect. You know very well the Thousand Shadows Sect's current situation. It could be replaced by a new sect at any time … How about I ask you to meet Feng Xin for the Thousand Shadows Sect? "
Qing Chen had no way out. As the sect leader of the Thousand Shadows Sect, one of the Five Supremes, he had to ask Zhao Ling Xian for help.
Zhao Ling Xian couldn't bear to do this, but when she thought of Qin Feng, she immediately rejected the idea. "If it was anything else, I, Zhao Ling Xian, would definitely help. However, this is not negotiable. If I meet Feng Xin, how can I face my man?
"If you agree to meet him, I'll also agree to take you to Spirit Immortal City after this …" Qing Chen had no other choice but to throw out bait to confuse Zhao Ling Xian.
This condition was too tempting to Zhao Ling Xian, causing her to hesitate. Seeing this, Qing Chen hurriedly continued to persuade her, "Ling Xian, I hope you can understand our difficulties. We don't want to force you to do something you don't like, but the Thousand Shadows Sect is in danger. We have no other choice …
"Moreover, I'm only asking you to meet Feng Xin for a few days. At most, you'll take him on a tour of the Thousand Shadows Sect. Nothing else will happen. As long as you help the Thousand Shadows Sect build a good relationship with the Wind Sun Palace, I'll keep my word and personally take you to Spirit Immortal City.
