Chapter 1620: Chapter 1609: The Original Female Lead of Immortal Text Cultivation

Li Qing’an stared at Ye Qiu intently, asking word by word, "Who are you really?"

"A person with the same goal as you."

"Do you think I’ll be incited by you to destroy Ruixiao’s Taoist Union Ceremony? Do you think I don’t know that my appearance would lead Ruixiao to be criticized?" Li Qing’an looked at the wall with his back to Ye Qiu, seemingly unmoved.

"Think whatever you like!" Ye Qiu got up to leave, "If Jiang Ruixiao isn’t doing well, that’s for the best. Maybe I can take advantage of the situation."

"You dare!" Li Qing’an, eyes red, turned around, but where was Ye Qiu’s figure anymore?

He stood there for a long time without moving, reminiscing the times spent with Jiang Ruixiao, sometimes smiling happily, sometimes chuckling bitterly, utterly torn within.

Ye Qiu wandered inside the Green Sun Sect, looking at the scenery that was both familiar and strange, feeling a wave of tranquility inside. Today, trying to persuade Li Qing’an was just a whim. She no longer had any other thoughts about Yan Junyang, and whether he married Jiang Ruixiao was of little concern to her.

All she wanted was to cause trouble for Jiang Ruixiao, stirring up emotions within Li Qing’an was just a simple task, failing would not affect anything, but if successful? To disrupt this Taoist Union Ceremony that the whole Cultivation World was watching, seeing Jiang Ruixiao lose such an ally as Yan Junyang, why not?

"Who are you?" An unnoticeable figure suddenly appeared behind Ye Qiu, with disheveled hair and a wine pot hanging at the waist, looking unkempt, yet his small eyes were especially sharp.

Upon hearing this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice, Ye Qiu stood still, answering hoarsely, "Just a disciple from a small sect here to congratulate your esteemed sect, does senior have any advice?"

"You haven’t even looked at me directly, how do you know I’m from the Green Sun Sect?" Kong Mingzi continued questioning, unleashing the pressure of a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator upon Ye Qiu unreservedly.

Ye Qiu snorted, swallowing the blood in her mouth, saying, "Naturally, it was from hearing Rui Yao Fairy mention it. Who doesn’t know Rui Yao Fairy apprenticed under the only two Transcendance Tribulation senior ancestors in the Cultivation World?"

Kong Mingzi frowned, thinking that his little disciple was indeed someone who bragged outside, then withdrew the pressure, took a sip of wine, and said, "This isn’t a place for outsiders, you should leave quickly. I’ll let you off for today, otherwise, if the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall see you, even if you really are from another sect, they might pursue the matter."

Ye Qiu looked back at Kong Mingzi’s figure, feeling a twinge of bitterness in her heart. This should have been her master. Truthfully, being expelled from the sect, betrayed by a Daoist partner, and misunderstood by sect brothers, she could all overlook. But not being able to be a disciple of her master, not being able to return to those days with him, was a pain in her heart forever.

She was originally a daughter of an official family wiped out in the Mortal World, coincidentally picked up by Kong Mingzi during his travels and brought back to the Cultivation World. Kong Mingzi once promised her that as long as she cultivated to the Golden Core Stage, he would accept her as a direct disciple. In her past life, she indeed succeeded in apprenticing under Kong Mingzi, but in this life, even though she had just formed her Golden Core, before Kong Mingzi had emerged, she was slandered by Jiang Ruixiao for digging up a Golden Core.

In her past life, Kong Mingzi was both a teacher and father to her, yet now, she couldn’t even reveal herself before him.

"Last time in the secret realm, I accidentally obtained an Immortal Fruit, thinking it might benefit senior, hoping senior won’t disdain it." Ye Qiu said as she placed down a box sealing the Spiritual Energy, then quickly left, concealing her aura, moving so fast that Kong Mingzi was somewhat astonished.

"Seems familiar, where have I seen such a young one before?" Kong Mingzi mumbled, then casually opened the spirit box placed on the stone, his gaze suddenly changing.

He quickly closed it again, his eyes searching for Ye Qiu’s figure, but even using the spiritual sense of a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, he couldn’t spot Ye Qiu’s shadow anymore.

"Such a hefty gift out of nowhere, how am I to repay?" Kong Mingzi sighed, then shook his head, "Oh well, if I meet this young one next time, I’ll thank her then!"

It’s no wonder Kong Mingzi was so excited, because within the spirit box was a Frost Fruit.

For cultivators, Frost Fruit was not unfamiliar because it could heal their hidden injuries. A high-grade Frost Fruit could fetch a high price at auctions. Ordinary Frost Fruits were not rare, but high-quality ones hadn’t been seen in the Cultivation World for many years.

As one of the only two Transcendance Tribulation giants in the Cultivation World, Kong Mingzi looked imposing but was actually covered in hidden injuries. Over the years, the Green Sun Sect had searched for countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for his injuries, but the high-quality Frost Fruit that worked best and had the least side effects was nowhere to be found, yet an unknown small cultivator actually gave it to him for free, how could this not startle Kong Mingzi?

Seeing that person deliberately obscuring their appearance, Kong Mingzi hesitated to send people to search grandly, only quietly noting down this person’s aura to repay in the future.

"Master." Jiang Ruixiao called out to Kong Mingzi cheerfully, "Why are you here? When did you come out of seclusion? Was it specifically for my marriage?"

Kong Mingzi looked at this disciple and frowned. He originally hadn’t intended to accept this disciple; it was another person he had intended. But at that time, his cultivation faced some issues, and it was this disciple who offered a treasure that could aid in stabilizing his cultivation, thus he agreed to her request.

After accepting this disciple, her luck truly surprised him, and she hadn’t done anything unscrupulous using his name, so he gradually accepted her.

This time, he indeed came out of seclusion early for the matter of this disciple’s marriage with Yan Junyang from the Sword Sect, so he nodded affirmatively.

"This is a major event in your life. As your master, I must attend."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruixiao showed a joyful smile, "Thank you, Master. I knew you were the best."

"I heard you’re planning to reside in the Green Sun Sect permanently in the future?"

"Yes."

"Yan Junyang is exceptionally talented, the foremost genius of the Sword Sect. It’s not easy for him to do this for you. No matter what happens in the future, you should be more forgiving and understanding."

"I know, Master. Would you like to see my future residence?"

"No need, I have some matters at the Deacon Hall, there’ll be plenty of time to see it later."

"Farewell, Master." Jiang Ruixiao watched Kong Mingzi’s retreating figure, feeling a smug sense of delight. So what if Ye Qiu wasn’t dead and came back? Her master was now her master and protective of her. If Ye Qiu came out to cause trouble, she trusted that the master wouldn’t spare her, and Ye Qiu would surely suffer immensely without being able to retaliate!
