The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

In their perception, Su Jingzhen was still at the second layer of Qi refinement.

As for Shuang Jiang, there was not even a hint of aura on her body.

She was just like an ordinary person.

However, the way Senior Jiuchi had fled in a panic earlier didn’t seem fake.

If there wasn’t something that made him fearful, he wouldn’t have reacted that way.

At this moment, the eight Golden Core experts looked at Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang with a hint of embarrassment.

They didn’t know whether to advance or retreat.

On the other side, Luo Yuebai and Feng Qingya, who were standing close together, couldn’t help but exchange a glance.

Luo Yuebai’s eyes widened in surprise as he opened his mouth to speak: “Just now, Shuang Jiang seemed to have said something to Senior Jiuchi.”

She continued, “Although I didn’t hear it, judging from her lip movements, it seemed like she only said one word: ‘scram’…”

As soon as Feng Qingya spoke, Luo Yuebai’s expression changed again.

He had also seen it, but he couldn’t quite believe it.

After all, Senior Jiuchi was a Nascent Soul old monster!

To tell a Nascent Soul old monster to “scram” and actually make him scram away? What kind of power would that require?

Luo Yuebai couldn’t even imagine it.

Feng Qingya’s heart, however, was shaken once again.

She suddenly remembered the mysterious strong expert she had met with Su Jingzhen at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s second floor.

And she recalled the ‘influence’ the mysterious strong expert had exerted on her!

Only now did Feng Qingya react with a delayed realization.

Shuang Jiang was that mysterious strong expert!

“Strange, why would a strong expert like her still have so many scars on her face?”

Feng Qingya muttered to herself, puzzled.

In her opinion, female cultivators should all care about their appearance…

“What will you do next, Pavilion Master Feng?” Luo Yuebai asked, probing.

Today’s events had been shocking, but the Treasure Gathering Pavilion remained unaffected, without any losses.

Feng Qingya smiled: “What can we do? We’ll just open our doors and do business as usual. What else can my Treasure Gathering Pavilion do?”

Feng Qingya’s face still wore that enchanting smile.

After realizing that Shuang Jiang was the mysterious strong expert from that day, her heart had completely relaxed.

She knew that even if the Treasure Gathering Pavilion didn’t have a connection with Ning Yao, Su Jingzhen should be unable to escape.

After all, Shuang Jiang had taken the initiative to bring Su Jingzhen to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to register as an alchemist.

Although it seemed like it was just to exchange for the Body Tempering Liquid, it was possible that Shuang Jiang had intended to help Su Jingzhen find a backer.

With the existence of the Alchemy Master token, Su Jingzhen could now claim to be a member of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Moreover, at the time, Feng Qingya had seen that Su Jingzhen was a novice cultivator, and Shuang Jiang wouldn’t stay by his side forever.

So she was very clear that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion could become the winner in the future without doing anything.

She didn’t even need to deliberately reveal Su Jingzhen’s identity.

They could maintain this ambiguous relationship.

Feng Qingya seemed to have relaxed completely, without any tension.

However, Luo Yuebai’s heart was filled with increasing doubt.

He vaguely felt that Feng Qingya seemed to possess some unknown information.

He then said, “Let’s continue the topic from last night. Perhaps I can cooperate with your Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

“You know the power behind me, and I know your current situation, Miss Feng.”

“This Linjiang City may be small, but it could also become a turning point for some things.”

“Some things that have been stuck in a rut for too long are due for a change.”

“What do you think, Miss Feng?”

As he spoke, the light in Luo Yuebai’s eyes shone brightly.

Previously, he had addressed Feng Qingya as “Pavilion Master Feng,” but now he called her “Miss Feng,” which seemed to carry a different meaning.

Feng Qingya’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her enchanting smile became more restrained, taking on a more serious tone.

She looked at Luo Yuebai seriously: “You, or rather, the power behind you, can really withstand this kind of pressure?”

Luo Yuebai smiled again, pointing to the scattered Huayang Sect disciples lying around.

He said, “We’ve already done so, which means we’ve made all the necessary preparations.”

“Don’t worry about this, Miss Feng.”

After saying this, Luo Yuebai still looked at Feng Qingya with burning eyes.

Those who didn’t know would really think that Luo Yuebai was still infatuated with Feng Qingya at this critical moment.

When Feng Qingya heard this, her expression became even more serious.

But after a moment of contemplation, she nodded slowly.

“Alright! I’ll trust you this once. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

“Haha, Miss Feng, don’t worry. This will be the most correct decision you’ve made since taking over the Linjiang City branch!”

At this time, the eight Golden Core cultivators from different sects were still unsure of what to do next.

However, Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai had reached a cooperation agreement amidst the tense atmosphere.

Luo Yuebai then said, “So, whatever happens next, please don’t let the Treasure Gathering Pavilion get involved. Just pretend you didn’t see anything.”

Feng Qingya nodded again: “Don’t worry, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion has always been absolutely neutral in the cultivation world.”

Luo Yuebai nodded again and didn’t chat with her anymore.

He directly headed towards Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang.

“Friend Su, you’ve really been hiding a lot from me.”

When he arrived, Luo Yuebai looked at Su Jingzhen with a mixture of shock and bitter laughter.

Su Jingzhen spread his hands helplessly and said, “I was just forced by the situation and had to protect myself.”

This was actually the truth.

If he could, he wouldn’t have wanted to reveal all this.

According to Su Jingzhen’s original plan, he should have been growing his power quietly.

He never thought he would become the center of attention like today.

Before Luo Yuebai could respond, Su Jingzhen sighed and said, “I’m afraid Linjiang City is no longer safe for me. I accidentally killed a genius disciple of the Huayang Sect, and now I’ll have to flee for my life.”

Shuang Jiang was still standing there, and Su Jingzhen’s words were like a higher-level taunt.

However, only he knew that these were all true.

Unless the entire Huayang Sect is completely destroyed today.

Otherwise, once Shuang Jiang leaves, he will be meeting his dead end.

Su Jingzhen was very clear that Shuang Jiang wouldn’t bother with ordinary Huayang Sect disciples.

Moreover, she had said before that she wouldn’t take action unless her life was in danger.

Su Jingzhen could kill a Chen Jinshi, and maybe even handle some Huayang Sect Qi-refining Stage disciples.

But there were many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Huayang Sect.

At least for now, he was certain that if he faced Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even if he were to launch a sneak attack, he would only have a dead end.

However, upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, the light in Luo Yuebai’s eyes suddenly brightened.

“Friend Su, you’re actually worried about this?”

Su Jingzhen let out a bitter laugh again: “What else can I do?”

“A loose cultivator must reach a certain realm of strength before they can be mentioned in the same breath as a sect.”

Luo Yuebai’s smile grew even more pronounced: “What if the Huayang Sect’s branch is destroyed today?”
