For the past five days, Ling Mo Xie has been going to the arena every day to participate in beast battles, and his highest achievement so far is killing a Level Three early-stage spirit beast, the Cloud Patterned Mang. His ranking on the White Tiger List has naturally risen steadily, now standing at one hundred nineteen! It’s important to note that the White Tiger List accounts for the achievements of all beast fighters over the past fifty years. Over fifty years, how many talents have come through? How many middle-aged and elderly cultivators have participated? This ranking is quite impressive!
Moreover, Ling Mo Xie's main quest has been completed by thirty-three percent. Because he goes to the beast arena daily, gossipers who were already interested in his story come to watch him every day, spreading the word and increasing his fame among the common people, which can certainly be considered a way of making a name for himself!
As for the rewards from the arena, they are merely spirit stones. Now, Ling Mo Xie can be considered a wealthy man in Tianfeng City! However, he does not feel particularly happy; the challenge of the main quest to rank first on the Heavenly Ranking still weighs heavily on him.
Today marks the fifth day, the day he promised to go to the Azure Light Secret Realm with Shangguan Ying'er. Ling Mo Xie woke up early and opened his System interface to find that all the small red bottles he had set to refine yesterday were completed. After stretching and yawning, he stored all the small red bottles in his backpack.
Upon opening his door, he saw Zhou Xinyi tidying up flowers and plants in the yard. When she noticed Ling Mo Xie coming out, she smiled gently at him and said, “Mo Xie, I want to go back and see my mother today! What do you think?”
“Sure! It just so happens that I need to explore a secret realm in a few days. You might feel lonely going back alone; since you're returning home, staying a few more days is fine!” Ling Mo Xie approached Zhou Xinyi and brushed aside her messy hair with some guilt.
“Alright! You should hurry! Don’t miss your appointment!” Zhou Xinyi helped adjust Ling Mo Xie's attire and smiled at him.
“Okay! I’m leaving now!” Ling Mo Xie said with some reluctance but still walked away confidently. Arriving at Azure Emperor Pavilion, he was surprised to see a luxurious sedan chair parked in front of it. The sedan chair was not only beautifully decorated but also pulled by a Level Three spirit beast—Unicorn Pegasus! While Ling Mo Xie was puzzled, he heard a clear voice call out, “Mo Xie? Hurry up! We’re going to be late!”
It turned out to be Shangguan Ying'er. Ling Mo Xie quickly walked over to the sedan chair, and the bearers lowered it to invite him inside. Not wanting to be polite, Ling Mo Xie stepped into the sedan chair and called for Shangguan Ying'er to sit inside as well.
On their way, Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er chatted happily, and time flew by until they soon reached their destination. The Unicorn Pegasus landed smoothly on the ground, and Ling Mo Xie heard voices outside the sedan chair.
“Look! That’s Miss Ying'er from Azure Emperor Pavilion!” A young man dressed in a crescent white robe with hair tied back by a feather crown exclaimed. He had fair skin and handsome features but occasionally revealed a hint of malice in his eyes.
“It’s Miss Ying'er!” A commotion erupted outside as it became clear that there were many people gathered outside.
"Who would have thought! Miss Ying actually came to the Azure Light Secret Realm!"
"Exactly! We really struck gold this time, getting the chance to see Miss Ying! But I had already guessed that Miss Ying would come. Look at Xiao Qingyu from the Qi Sect and Zhou Buzhi from the Divine Martial Gate; they are here too, right?"
"Stop messing around! Look! Look! Miss Ying is coming out!"
The luxurious curtain of the palanquin was lifted by a hand, and a pair of white cloud boots touched the ground. The Sect Disciples in the area instantly erupted into a commotion.
"What? Those boots are men's, right? There’s actually a man in Miss Ying's palanquin!"
"Who? Who dares to sit in Miss Ying's palanquin?"
Countless Sect Disciples began to discuss heatedly. Among the crowd, two individuals stood out with extraordinary presence, clearly visible like cranes among chickens. Although they did not speak, a hint of anger, resentment, and malice flashed in their eyes.
Finally, Ling Mo Xie stepped down from the Carriage, appearing before these Sect Disciples. Feeling their angry gazes, he felt uncomfortable all over. Why do these people have such hostility towards me? Are these Sect Disciples really that exclusive?
Soon after, Shangguan Ying'er also descended from the palanquin. Looking at the crowd gathered around her, all eyes on her, she smiled gently like a spring breeze and said softly, "I apologize for being late today."
"Miss Ying, who is that guy?" "Yeah! Miss Ying, how did that guy come down from your palanquin?" "Miss Ying..." The questions surged like a tide. The looks directed at Ling Mo Xie were filled with murderous intent. If it weren't for Shangguan Ying'er still standing in front of him, he was sure those Sect Disciples would have rushed over.
What gave Ling Mo Xie some comfort was that there were still some women among these Sect Disciples. At this moment, one was even sending him flirtatious glances!
However... Ling Mo Xie turned his head away. Damn it! It's better to face these angry men. Who would have thought there would be such "fresh and stunningly beautiful women" among cultivators! The woman wore an overly gaudy bright red dress, which made her look like a village girl stuffed into a cotton coat. Her face was heavily painted with makeup, and when she smiled, it seemed like she would drop powder everywhere!
"Ying Er, who is this little brother?" A young man dressed in a luxurious purple robe approached, wearing a feigned smile on his face as he gently asked Shangguan Ying'er, as if afraid to disturb her.
Ling Mo Xie looked up at the young man. The young man had a pale complexion and red lips, and since he started speaking to Shangguan Ying'er, he maintained a gentle smile, which Ling Mo Xie found to be completely insincere.
"Like a ghost!" Ling Mo Xie muttered, casting a somewhat hostile glance at the young man. He thought to himself: with such a fake smile, this young man must not be a good person! As for whether his true animosity towards the young man stemmed from jealousy, that was hard to say.
Ling Mo Xie couldn't discern the young man's cultivation level but guessed it was somewhat higher than his own; after all, he was a disciple of a sect. Even though Ling Mo Xie muttered quietly, the young man still heard him and shot Ling Mo Xie a sharp look. However, due to Shangguan Ying'er being present, he maintained his gentlemanly smile and ignored Ling Mo Xie.
Upon hearing the young man's words, Shangguan Ying'er's smile vanished, and she coldly said, "Xiao Qingyu, just call me by my full name, Shangguan Ying'er! As for him?" Shangguan Ying'er glanced at Ling Mo Xie: "He is my friend, so don't cause trouble for him, or..." She shot a fierce look at Xiao Qingyu, causing him to falter, his smile freezing on his face.
Despite Shangguan Ying'er usually being gentle like a lotus flower, as a Sect Disciple, she was also a genius with heavenly spiritual roots. Not to mention her ruthless nature; there were still quite a few people who had died at her hands. Compared to Shangguan Ying'er, Xiao Qingyu's cultivation level was indeed inferior by several degrees.
