Chapter 329: Chapter 329
As the two great beauties of Phoenix Caw Peak descended from the sky, riding their swords, Guo Yourong, Chu Youwei, and Lu Yingying exchanged glances, their emotions growing even more complex.
Indeed... Does that Senior Sister Zhu from Phoenix Caw Peak also harbor designs on Eldest Senior Brother? they thought in unison.
Xiao Hongling cradled her beloved disciple, her phoenix eyes glancing coldly to the side. "Senior Sister, why have you come only now? Are you here to laugh at my Divine Phoenix Peak?"
"Do you think I wanted to attend this boy's wedding?" Su Mei's brow furrowed. She took hold of her anxious disciple, Zhu Wanning, beside her and strode forward. "Isn't it all because this foolish disciple of mine was restless? I brought her to see, so she can finally give up on this obsession!"
Zhu Wanning's delicate face flushed with embarrassment as she whispered, "Master, it's not like that. Senior Brother Lin... he and I had an agreement..."
"Hmph! What agreement! That boy first pledged his life to you! And now he's in another's embrace! As his primary wife, shouldn't you be here to demand an explanation?" Su Mei stated icily.
With that said, she forcefully dragged her disciple forward by her small hand. Only then did she clearly see that her Junior Sister, Xiao Hongling, was holding a man in her arms!
And this man... was none other than the handsome martial nephew with whom she'd had two deeply intimate encounters!
At this moment, seeing Lin Xiao's eyes tightly shut, his face deathly pale, with barely a trace of vitality left in his body, Su Mei's heart plummeted. The anger on her face gradually gave way to alarm!
"This..." Su Mei bit her lip, unable to restrain her urgency. "What happened to this boy? Isn't today his wedding day? How did he... drink himself into this state?" she asked.
Zhu Wanning, standing to the side, saw her husband's unusual condition. Her heart tightened, and she rushed towards him, completely disregarding the imposing presence of Uncle Master Xiao!
However, just as she moved, a cold, flat voice, yet carrying an unstated authority, sounded: "Do not come any closer, Martial Nephew Zhu. My disciple is merely asleep. He doesn't require your concern."
After speaking, Xiao Hongling closed her eyes. A single, crystalline tear once again slid down her exquisite cheek, falling onto the face of the man in her embrace.
She was about to depart.
Yet, from behind her came an unexpected, hysterical voice:
"Xiao Hongling! You can't leave."
Su Mei's eyes were filled with urgency. Her ample, snow-white legs moved swiftly as she leaped into the air, blocking the path of Divine Phoenix Peak's Chairman!
"Lin Xiao... What on earth happened to this boy!? Was he injured by some ruffian? You must tell me clearly! Otherwise... how can my Wanning find peace of mind?"
"Speak up! What exactly happened to him!? This boy... he was brimming with vigor when he visited my Phoenix Caw Peak yesterday for our exchange! How did he return to your Divine Phoenix Peak only to be... ruined by you women... harmed to such a state!?"
"Today! You absolutely must give me an explanation!"
She dashed forward excitedly, confronting her Junior Sister.
Tears actually flickered in her charming, amorous eyes! Moreover, in her heightened emotional state, she inadvertently unleashed her formidable True Qi, causing the void for a hundred zhang around them to tremble. Her imposing aura was surprisingly not the least bit inferior to this Fairy Hongling!
Seeing the two women, who had been rivals for over a century, now bristling with hostility and on the verge of fighting, Guo Yourong, Chu Youwei, and the others also took a deep breath, their sorrow momentarily diverted.
Zhu Wanning, witnessing all this, burst into tears. She, of course, knew. Her Master outwardly berated her for being spineless, for not daring to fight for her beloved, but inwardly, she cherished her disciple immensely! So much so that for Wanning's happiness, her Master was now confronting the god-like Uncle Master Xiao!
"Senior Sister, my disciple is to be wed today, an event you refused to attend. Yet now that his life hangs in the balance, you show such concern. Isn't that rather contradictory?" Xiao Hongling scoffed, her gaze becoming increasingly frigid. "Stand aside! I intend to take my disciple home. This is likely his final wish..." Her voice dropped, each word resolute and forceful, resonating like thunder, shaking heaven and earth! "Whoever—blocks—will—die!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novｅlfire.net
Simultaneously, in the void, a boundless and terrifying Sword Intent spontaneously solidified, transforming into a Divine Azure Phoenix that roared towards the heavens, charging into the Nine Heavens' night sky!
In an instant, the entire sky above Divine Phoenix Peak's summit, night turned into day! It was like a divine creation, magnificent and spectacular, inspiring awe and fear in all who beheld it!
At this moment, not only the master and disciple duo from Phoenix Caw Peak but even the three young women who had constantly accompanied Xiao Hongling were utterly dumbfounded!
A sword move that stirs the firmament, changing the color of heaven and earth... Master... this must be the first time she has revealed her complete Sword Dao Dharma Appearance, right...? Lu Yingying lay prone on the White Hornless Dragon's spine, gazing dazedly at the night sky, seemingly having forgotten to cry.
She truly dotes on Eldest Senior Brother. It has always been this way. Chu Youwei also held her zither, sighing repeatedly in lament.
Guo Yourong, her beautiful eyes moist and red, said with a sense of loss, "Hehe, actually, when you think about it, what's the point of the three of us squabbling here? Let Eldest Senior Brother go with Master. After all, she's the woman who started him on his cultivation path."
"Hongling, you just said... this is Lin Xiao's 'last' wish. Doesn't that mean he's already..." Su Mei's amorous, beautiful eyes widened dramatically, tears faintly shimmering within!
At the same time, an inexplicable sorrow welled up from the depths of her heart, engulfing her entirely! She had originally thought she merely regarded this well-behaved junior as a tool for her amusement, and that her visit tonight was entirely for the sake of her disciple, to demand an explanation for her...
