Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The two of them quietly enjoyed this hard to come by silence. After a long moment, Qin Wentian then spoke, "Qingcheng, when I came here, I heard many people talking about the pill concoction banquet. What's going on?"

"It's a banquet the Unaging Immortal Mountains holds every ten years. Disciples of the various peaks would gather together and compete in pill concoction and it's a very grand occasion. I didn't participate in the pill concoction banquet because I was still too weak then. But now, I'm able to participate in it." Mo Qingcheng spoke in a light voice.

"No wonder there's so many people coming here." Qin Wentian nodded. "Let me accompany you to the banquet then, we will leave after it's over."

"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng smiled gently. In her heart, she also hoped that Qin Wentian would be there to see her compete. It wasn't because of glory, but simply because of a pure and simple anticipation and longing for him. In addition, she would be able to tell the people of the Unaging Immortal Mountains that she truly already had someone she loved. If that was the case, those people probably wouldn't bother her again.

"I still have a friend who came here with me. Since this is a grand event, the Unaging Immortal Mountains should be hosting these guests, right?" Qin Wentian laughed as he spoke.

"Mhm, they are." Mo Qingcheng nodded. "In that case, let us go and make some arrangements for your friend first."

The two of them walked into the courtyard. Qi Yu was quietly sitting there. He knew Qin Wentian came here to find his wife, and he naturally wouldn't disturb them.

At this moment, Qi Yu stood up. Upon glancing at Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng, he only felt that the two of them were a match made in heaven.

"Qi Yu, this is my wife, Mo Qingcheng." Qin Wentian introduced.

Qi Yu stared at Mo Qingcheng as he nodded, "Qi Yu pays respect to Madam."

Upon seeing how courteous Qi Yu was, she instantly knew that the relationship of Qi Yu and Qin Wentian wasn't ordinary, but she didn't probe further. She simply smiled, "Let's go to the place where the Unaging Immortal Mountains are hosting the guests."

"I will follow Madam's arrangements." Qi Yu nodded. In fact, most cultivators didn't care about things like this at all.

Mo Qingcheng and the two others continued on their way. This ancient peak was very vast, but it was incredibly scenic. On the way there, many people had strange looks on their faces when they noticed Qin Wentian who was walking beside Mo Qingcheng. This young man was actually walking together with Mo Qingcheng and the two of them seemed exceptionally close?

When Qin Wentian noticed the gazes of many sweeping towards him, he couldn't help but to laugh in a low voice, "Looks like my Qingcheng is still as popular as ever."

Mo Qingcheng's lips twitched as she held onto Qin Wentian's hand. Feeling the warmth of her hand, Qin Wentian tightened his hold as well, as though he was announcing his sovereignty over her.

A young man's expression instantly turned unsightly. He was one of those who adored Mo Qingcheng but Mo Qingcheng had always been cold towards him and couldn't even be bothered to speak with him. Now when he saw her holding hands with another guy, his heart was naturally seized by jealousy.

"I still thought how pure she was. So she is nothing but a plaything of others." Jealousy reared its ugly head as the young man mused silently, feeling extremely unhappy.

As they proceeded on, Qin Wentian was the target of countless gazes and soon became the topic of discussion of this ancient peak. Their movements were specially noted, and after they made arrangements for Qi Yu, when Qin Wentian returned with Mo Qingcheng back to her residence, it caused an even greater commotion especially after the fact that he spent the night together with her in there. In addition, there was even a barrier isolating the immortal senses of others.

As the number one beauty of the Unaging Immortal Mountains, her actions would naturally be observed by plenty. Hence, this incident instantly caused countless people to discuss about Mo Qingcheng.

"Who would have expected junior sister Qingcheng to be such a character? She doesn't care about her reputation at all."

"Yeah, I initially still thought how holy and how pure she was. Most probably, they are engaging in shameless acts in her bedroom now." Someone commented maliciously.

"How can you guys say this? Junior sister Qingcheng has long said that she has someone she loved and she already married. This young man that came should be none other than her husband. What's so strange about staying together? Even if you guys are jealous, there's no need to speak so maliciously, right?" There were also some senior apprentice sisters on the side of Qingcheng. They couldn't bear to hear her being slandered and defended her.

The topics also involved Qin Wentian, "This young man seemed very ordinary, I wonder what background does he have."

"He's probably far from being able to compare to senior brother Qiu Mo. If that man really is Mo Qingcheng's husband, her judgement must truly be shit. Why doesn't she break up with him? Such a beauty, even if she isn't pure of body, everyone would definitely still want her."

Outside, numerous voices rang out, as the discussion spread to the other peaks. After all, there had always been many people paying attention to Mo Qingcheng.

However, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng couldn't be bothered with these voices of discussion. No matter where they went, it was impossible for them to control the thoughts of others. Hence, they didn't bother about it.

The two of them were spending their time together, it has been so long since they last met, they naturally wanted to enjoy their time together. However, time swiftly passed by. The two of them didn't step out of Mo Qingcheng's residence at all, and didn't know of the intense commotion that was occurring outside because of them.

The pill concoction banquet finally began. Today, the disciples of the various ancient mountain peaks all gathered first at the pill concoction field. Mo Qingcheng also went over. Qin Wentian didn't go with her. When the banquet started, he and those friends and families of the disciples were only spectators. He followed the crowd and tagged behind the disciples, this place was completely flooded by people.

On the field, Ye Rou saw that Mo Qingcheng was in glowing spirits. She walked over to her and smiled, "Junior sister Qingcheng, I heard that you've been living in an extremely 'joyful' manner during these few days."

Mo Qingcheng furrowed her brows, she was growing more and more unhappy about this Ye Rou. It was only because of their connection as fellow apprentice sisters that she treated Ye Rou so respectfully. However, during these few days, Ye Rou's words were getting more and more provocative.

"This has nothing to do with senior sister, right?" Mo Qingcheng unhappily spoke.

"I'm merely asking. Who would have thought that junior sister would have such a great reaction." Ye Rou laughed. "Don't you know that right now, rumors about you and your beau have already circulated around the peaks?"

"I don't wish to know, I'm not interested." Mo Qingcheng coldly spoke.

"Hehe." Ye Rou laughed. "Your husband came alone? There's no one from his clan?"

"Senior apprentice sister, does this have anything to do with you?" Mo Qingcheng's brows furrowed even more intensely.

"Naturally, it has nothing to do with me." Ye Rou laughed but didn't say anything, however, her expression was unsightly. She promised someone from the main peak that she would help him to woo Mo Qingcheng. However, there seemed to be no hope now.

Only to see that at this moment, in the direction of the pill concoction field, a few figures walked over. The person in the lead was beautiful middle-aged woman and exuded an extraordinary demeanor. Qin Wentian could tell that this woman had a high cultivation base with just a single glance. She should be at the peak-level of the immortal-king realm.

This female should be the pill lord of this mountain peak, the master of Mo Qingcheng.

"This once every ten year event is a grand occasion of our Unaging Immortal Mountains. The various disciples of the nine peaks will participate and in fact, the old ancestor Unaging Immortal Emperor would even personally concoct some high-level pills as rewards. You all have to do your best and perform well." The middle-aged woman directly spoke. The disciples then bowed, each of them intending to do their best and fight for glory.

"Everyone came from afar just to spectate the grand event of our sect. I thank all of you for your efforts." The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled and nodded to the others in the crowd.

"Let's move out." With a flash, the middle-aged woman flew up into the air. The various disciples of the different peaks followed, and behind them, were Qin Wentian and the rest of the crowd. They flew towards the highest peak of the Unaging Immortal Mountain, that was the main peak of this immortal sect, named the Unaging Peak.

The pill concoction field here was much vaster in comparison to any of the other peaks, able to accomodate tens of thousands of people concocting pills here. In the surroundings, there are also tables and chairs set up on a higher platform, allowing the spectators to see everything, as well as to enjoy an immortal banquet.

"Friends from afar, if my Undying Immortal Mountain's reception is lacking, please forgive us." On a high platform before the pill concoction field, an old man with white flowing beard smiled. Many people clasped their hands towards him as they smiled back politely.

"The Unaging Immortal Mountains are expending such efforts to host this grand event for us, we are filled with boundless gratitude."

More and more people from the nine peaks continuously arrived here, and other than elders of the peaks there was another group that was exceptionally eye-catching. They seemed to have originated from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty.

Qin Wentian and Qi Yu casually found a spot and sat down. They could see that Mo Qingcheng, who has already arrived at the edge of the field, turned her head back to look for him as she smiled. Qin Wentian punched his fist up in the air, showing a smile of encouragement back. Qingcheng had given up so many things for him. He also hoped that Qingcheng would be able to find a path of cultivation suited to herself and actualized her talent.

At the location where disciples of the main peak gathered, Qiu Mo and the others noticed Mo Qingcheng. Right now, his expression was like ice. The people beside him whispered, "I initially thought that she was a pure and holy maiden, to think that…"

"It's rumored that she spent all her time together with that man in her room and didn't even take a step out. I wonder what they did there."

"Look, it's that young man. He seems so ordinary. How can he be comparable to senior brother Qiu Mo?" Someone noticed Qin Wentian. Right now, Qin Wentian's good looks and extraordinary aura were intentionally disparaged by these people.

Qiu Mo didn't say anything, but enmity was clear in his gaze as he turned his eyes towards Qin Wentian.

Right now, Qin Wentian could already feel many unfriendly gazes staring at him. However, he seemed as carefree as ever.

"Those people should be from a major power in the Taihua Immortal Dynasty. It's said that one of their elders is cultivating there and has a high position in the dynasty." Someone stared at the group of people who was sitting together with the peak pill lord of the main peak.

"Mhm, I heard that one among them is a disciple of the main peak's pill lord." Someone spoke.

"Aren't these people the clan members of senior brother Xue? Senior brother Xue is a dragon among humans, his talent is extraordinarily high. To think that his clan members are all so powerful, and his background is actually from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty." Some of the other disciples began to discuss.

"Not only for senior brother Xue, the elder of our senior brother Qiu Mo is also extremely powerful, currently sitting beside the main peak's pill lord." Ye Rou spoke lightly. There were many disciples of the Unaging Immortal Mountains who had extraordinary backgrounds. It's only natural that some among them were more extraordinary compared to the others.

"However, all this counts for nothing. Junior sister Qingcheng doesn't even have senior brother Qiu Mo in her eyes. I wonder what the background of junior sister Qingcheng's husband is." Ye Rou smiled at Mo Qingcheng who was standing beside her.
