Chapter 563: Lady Leng Yue, To Forgo Something That Was Never Experienced
Inside the grand pagoda of Seven Emotion Sect.
The current Seven Emotion Sect Leader, Lady Leng Yue, was waiting for Chu Kuangren with a curious look in her eyes.
“The fabled sky-pride who escaped the flank attack of four archaic ancient orthodoxies — the Sword Tribe, the demon tribes, the Bai clan, and the Wang clan with ease? I wonder what kind of person he is.”
Lady Leng Yue muttered under her breath.
Before long, she saw Leng Ningyu, Chi Yue, and someone else walking toward the grand pagoda.
Standing behind them was a young man in white.
The young man’s jet-black hair contrasted his white robes. His handsome face was almost peerless, with an ever-so-faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth. His every movement exuded an exquisite elegance and class.
He looked like a fairy from the heavens that could ascend there any time he wanted.
A look of astonishment flashed across Lady Leng Yue’s face. She had seen numerous handsome men throughout her life. She had so many handsome men pursuing her during her younger days that they could literally form a line from the Seven Emotions Sect mountain entrance to the Emperor Mountain. Yet, none of those men could compare with the Chu Kuangren who was in front of her now.
It turned out that there was such an extraordinary man in this world.
If there were someone akin to Chu Kuangren among her pack of pursuers back then, she would not still be single.
Lady Leng Yue sighed in melancholy.
At the thought of that, she suddenly sensed that a surge of heat was cooking up inside her stomach.
Lady Leng Yue let out a slight frown. “No way. We’ve just only met, and this flame poison is already acting up so soon. This man’s looks are truly too sinful.”
She activated her spiritual power and suppressed the flame poison inside her body.
Meanwhile, Leng Ningyu and Chi Yue were already leading Chu Kuangren into the great hall.
Chu Kuangren took a glance at Lady Leng Yue and managed to catch a glimpse of the blush on her face that was just receding. He was a little surprised.
What… What happened?
Chi Yue’s expression changed too. “Honorable Teacher, are you alright?”
Although Leng Ningyu beside her did not show any reactions, there was still a caring and inquisitive look in her eyes.
“I’m fine.”
Lady Leng Yue waved her hand and then looked toward Chu Kuangren. She greeted him with a smile. “Pleasure to have you here, Brother Chu. Apologies for not being able to greet you personally at the entrance.”
“Don’t worry, Lady Leng Yue.”
Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation was already activated as he spoke, and he secretly observed Lady Leng Yue’s condition.
“Lady Leng Yue, Top-notched Boundary Emperor, specializes in Emotion Dao… Plagued by the Flame of Desire Poison, often suffers from burns from the flame poison. It is most painful when her emotions are moved…”
A sense of surprise flashed across Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
The Flame of Desire Poison?
He did not expect Lady Leng Yue to be cursed by such a poison. It was no wonder Leng Ningyu asked him for the Empyrean Frost Python’s horn the last time.
That horn was a Frost-type treasure, so it could be used to cure this Flame of Desire Poison.
“Ningyu has told me that Brother Chu owns an Emperor Technique that could trigger emotion. I wonder if you could show me?”
Lady Leng Yu was also not overly courteous as she straight up asked him about it.
Chu Kuangren gave her a slight nod and stopped worrying about that Flame of Desire Poison. That was clearly her secret, so it was inappropriate for him to mention it in front of her.
With a lift of the arm, he began mustering the Raging Gods Fist’s Daoist Rhyme.
A gush of fury manifested in the space before them, turning into a black fist sign that burned with flames of wrath.
After seeing this fist sign, Lady Leng Yue’s eyes lit up. “This energy… It truly is that cultivation technique that is listed in the scroll.”
“Ah, it is just as I thought. The Seven Emotions Sect really does have that scroll too. How many of those scrolls are kept here in Seven Emotions Sect, I wonder?”
Chu Kuangren inquired curiously.
“How many copies do you have, Brother Chu?” Lady Leng Yu smiled back at him and asked.
“Three.”
Chu Kuangren said truthfully, not trying to conceal anything.
Lady Leng Yue’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Wow, I didn’t expect three. It seems like Brother Chu has had quite a good fortune.”
“We, Seven Emotions Sect, have five of the scrolls.”
Lady Leng Yue answered him truthfully too. There were plenty of Seven Emotions Sect disciples out there exploring and making a name for themselves. As such, the Emperor Techniques they used were not really a secret, and there was no need for Seven Emotions Sect to hide this fact from Chu Kuangren.
After all, anybody could have found that out if they just did a little more investigation.
“Five… adding to my three, we would have a total of eight.”
Chu Kuangren felt a little excited.
There were a total of nine scrolls. Combining all nine scrolls would yield an incredibly powerful cultivation technique — one that could surpass all Emperor Techniques in the entire Firmament Star.
Such a technique would be way too spectacular.
Chu Kuangren even suspected it could be a cultivation technique related to divinity.
If he could gather all of them, it would surely be of great help to him.
He only had three scrolls with him at first. Hence, if he wanted to collect them all, he did not know how long that would have taken him.
However, if he added the five scrolls from Seven Emotions Sect to his collection, he would make astounding progress in this project of his. All he had to do now would be to find that last scroll.
“I don’t think the Seven Emotions Sect would want to pass on the three scrolls that I have, right? Lady Leng Yue, I’m going to come clean. I’m willing to trade these three scrolls I have for the remaining scrolls that Seven Emotions Sect has. What do you think?” Chu Kuangren proposed. Since he had already learned the Emperor Techniques on those scrolls, the physical copy of those scrolls did not matter to him anymore.
“Heh, these Emperor Techniques are closely related to our Seven Emotions Sect’s foundation. I must discuss this matter with our sect’s elders before I can provide you with an answer.”
Lady Leng Yue responded with a smile. Then, she turned to Leng Ningyu, who was beside her. “Ningyu, Brother Chu has come a long way to visit us. You should show him around.”
“Yes.”
Leng Ningyu replied with a nod before taking Chu Kuangren with her and left the place.
Only Chi Yue and Lady Leng Yue were left in the grand pagoda.
Watching Chu Kuangren’s departing figure, Lady Leng Yue could not help but lament, “Who knew there would be such an extraordinary-looking man in this world? I almost fell for him just by looking at him and got myself exhumed by the Flame of Desire Poison.”
Beside her, Chi Yue felt a little embarrassed. “Honorable Teacher, you’re our Seven Emotions Sect Leader. You need to watch your image.”
“What else was I supposed to do? This damned flame poison. It won’t even spare me a little sway of emotion. If we have to blame someone, we could only blame Chu Kuangren for being too handsome.”
Lady Leng Yue pouted and said.
“Hmm… I don’t think I can argue with that,” Chi Yue was left speechless as well. Then, as if she had thought of something, she described Leng Ningyu’s odd reaction to Lady Leng Yue.
After listening to Chi Yue’s description, Lady Leng Yue’s eyes glistened brightly. “You mean, Ningyu might have fallen for him?”
“Yes, I can’t say I’m very certain, but there are signs.” Chi Yue looked rather worried.
“That’s a good thing, though.”
Lady Leng Yue’s face lit up with delight, which made Chi Yue a little more perplexed. “Honorable Teacher, how can this be a good thing? Senior Sister cultivates the Unruffled Emotions Dao. If she falls for someone, it would have a detrimental effect on her cultivation journey.”
“Oh, Unruffled Emotions Dao. The most vital aspect of Unruffled Emotions Dao is forgoing your emotions. Our dear Ningyu has been cold toward people all her life. But if she had never experienced real love, how could she forgo this feeling? This is the real reason behind why she hasn’t been able to perfect her cultivation in the Unruffled Emotions Dao.”
“But if she has indeed fallen in love with someone this time, forgetting those feelings will allow her Unruffled Emotions Dao to be fully realized!”
If an incomplete Unruffled Emotions Dao could already produce a mighty outlawed sky-pride, how powerful would Leng Ningyu become when her Unruffled Emotions Dao was completed?
This was exactly what Lady Leng Yue was excited about.
“Pfft, and there I was, thinking that no man in this world could ever win Ningyu over. Either way, this Chu Kuangren does seem like a decent guy.”
Upon the mention of Chu Kuangren, the flame poison that Lady Leng Yue had so painstakingly suppressed felt like it was going to ignite again. “Sigh, what a nuisance.”
“Honorable Teacher, Master Daoist Li is going to be here soon, isn’t he? Senior Sister has also brought back the Empyrean Frost Python carcass. Perhaps there really is a way to remove that flame poison from your body this time.”
“Hopefully. But honestly, I really don’t want him to come over.”
Lady Leng Yue sighed helplessly.
