On the morning they were scheduled to depart for Guangsha, Ren Shuhan was a little late, and there was also a slender, beautiful young man wearing a veil by his side, which surprised Yun Xiangrong greatly.

“What? You actually hid someone in my He Huan Sect! You’re really…” Yun Xiangrong took a deep breath, “really amazing, impressive.”

Ren Shuhan nodded. “As long as you don’t mind.”

Yun Xiangrong replied, “I… I don’t dare to mind.”

Actually, I do want to.

Ren Shuhan didn’t show anything on his face, as if he were exuding dominance, but he was actually worried that Jiang Qingyue would be timid and wanted to make him bolder.

Because Ren Shuhan also wanted to keep a low profile. But last night, Jiang Qingyue was very worried when he mentioned that he was going to help resolve a dispute, so he clung to him this morning, clinging to him in bed and not letting go, which was really effective.

“Since there’s nothing wrong, how about taking me with you?” he pleaded with puppy eyes. “I’ll be very obedient, just quietly stay out of the way.”

Ren Shuhan couldn’t refuse Jiang Qingyue, who rarely made requests. Moreover, he had told Jiang Qingyue himself that it was just a group of people going to see some excitement, nothing serious.

After all, nearly two years had passed, and Ren Shuhan had smoothly reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm with his cultivation speed as smooth as silk. In terms of physical cultivation, with the added bonus of his spiritual root, he had already reached the strength of the Nascent Soul realm. He could walk sideways in the immortal realm.

“Taking you along is fine,” Ren Shuhan could only cup his face and poke his nose, then calmly replied, “but no matter what you see, don’t misunderstand me.”

Jiang Qingyue obediently responded with a “Hmm” before asking, “Misunderstand what?”

Ren Shuhan hadn’t told him yet that the small sect he was currently in was the He Huan Sect…

“In any case, I’m yours alone,” he said vaguely.

Ren Shuhan usually spoke little, and he wouldn’t easily say such strange things. So Jiang Qingyue was extremely happy to hear it, hugging him and rubbing against him, causing Ren Shuhan to scramble to push him away.

“Don’t be like this in the morning,” Ren Shuhan was very embarrassed.

“Can I do it at night then?” Jiang Qingyue tilted his head.

Ren Shuhan pinched his face, pulled him off the bed, and helped him put on his outer robe. “Stop fooling around!”

Jiang Qingyue smiled cutely with his head down.

But after they set off, he immediately lost his expression.

…What are all these fancy dressed men doing!!

What’s up with this sect called the He Huan Sect???

Ren Shuhan didn’t say anything, and he just twisted Ren Shuhan’s waist hard, smiling, “Brother, won’t you introduce me?”

“Cough,” Ren Shuhan patted his hand back, calmly replied, “There’s no need.”

Yun Xiangrong also added fuel to the fire, “Introduce us to this little gentleman too!”

“My person, there’s nothing to introduce,” Ren Shuhan said with a headache. “You don’t need to get to know him.”

He deliberately kept Jiang Qingyue by his side, not letting others get close to him. But when they arrived at Guangsha, he wished he could keep Jiang Qingyue tied to his waist.

Unfortunately, Xie Xiaozhu was currently boasting with people, insisting that Guangsha send someone to spar with him.

Xie Xiaozhu was just a little young master of Wanzi Qianhong Cave. Although he was very talented, ranking among the top in his sect, there were still superiors above him, such as the sect leader and the elders. As the master of Guangsha, Duan San naturally couldn’t lower his status to fight with him.

What Ren Shuhan didn’t expect was that Guangsha was now in decline. The youth Duan San brought with him to the trial spiritual meeting was the only one who could fight Xie Xiaozhu, but unfortunately, he couldn’t match him.

When the people from the He Huan Sect arrived, the situation was at a standstill.

Everyone could see that Guangsha was already at its last gasp.

Several major sects were eager to try, and a few of them had already spoken out to stop Xie Xiaozhu, claiming that the demonic lair was shamelessly disrespectful and did not respect the elders of Guangsha. But in reality, they were secretly delighted:

Guangsha, as the oldest and largest power in the immortal realm, with the largest territory and the largest number of people, had stood for countless years, claiming to be the only sect of Daoist practitioners in the world. It was also supervised by the first master of alchemy, Duan San. Its accumulated wealth was countless. Now, it seemed that only a dignified shell remained. Wouldn’t today be witnessing history?

No wonder they had just applied a little pressure before, and Duan San had opened the door wide, treating them with respect and even holding a trial spiritual meeting.

If such a powerful high-rise collapsed, who knows how much benefit they could get from it!

The Ye family from the Sha Zhou Night Market was also present, and compared to other forces, they seemed to be able to endure it. Ye Shuangfei leisurely approached the place where Jiang Zhixi was located at the Wucheng Twelve Towers, greeted her, and asked her for her “wise counsel”.

Jiang Zhixi solemnly said, “The younger generation is formidable. Xie Xiaozhu has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. I’m afraid even if Master Duan personally takes action, he won’t gain much.”

“Indeed,” Ye Shuangfei nodded. “But Guangsha also can’t be without tricks up their sleeves. The trump cards of a master alchemist are immeasurable.”

The Wanzi Qianhong Cave didn’t directly take action; instead, they let Xie Xiaozhu come over to challenge, which was also due to this consideration.

Now, Master Duan’s face was already unsightly. Xie Xiaozhu was pressing forward step by step, even wanting to directly kill the young master of the Duan family. Master Duan’s temples bulged with blue veins, and he was about to personally come to the rescue when suddenly a young man flew over on a sword and stood boldly between the two!

The young man was tall and had the physique of someone in their twenties, but his appearance was very young and handsome. He was wearing plain clothes, and he spoke loudly, “Since it’s a request for a friendly exchange, you should know when to stop, Master Xie should put away his whip.”

Xie Xiaozhu’s pupils constricted when he flicked his long whip.

“Ren Shuhan!”

The crowd outside the Guangsha gate instantly boiled.

“What?!” Jiang Zhixi almost blurted out a swear word, “How is he here?”

She helped the Jiang family in the mortal realm, yet he hasn’t returned home in two years. Now, he suddenly appears after watching the commotion in the immortal realm for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Jiang Zhixi’s gentle and kind-hearted persona has been wasted!

“He probably just arrived,” Ye Shuangfei squinted, noticing Yun Xiangrong and Jiang Qingyue following behind him, and said with secret joy, “Isn’t that Yun, the master of the He Huan Sect? What a pair of immortal lovers.”

Jiang Zhixi’s face turned from green to white.

Green because she had tried so hard for nothing, and now this excellent immortal lord had been snatched away by Yun Xiangrong, a woman of the night. White because… wait, it’s not Yun Xiangrong—

Isn’t that Jiang Qingyue?!!

The people of the immortal realm didn’t recognize him, but Jiang Zhixi had stayed in the Jiang family for more than a year, and she had seen Jiang Qingyue from time to time, even exchanged a few words with him.

Ah Lu had also revealed to her that Ren Shuhan and Jiang Qingyue had been inseparable since childhood. Even though he had been far away in the immortal realm for the past two years, he still often sent things to Jiang Qingyue. But Jiang Zhixi didn’t take it seriously, after all, Jiang Qingyue was a genuine mortal, could it be that…

Ye Shuangfei added fuel to the fire, “I don’t know who the person next to Master Yun is, but they’re also beautiful and graceful. The He Huan Sect really has many beauties. Shuhan is so lucky.”

“Hehehe,” Jiang Zhixi’s mouth twitched, forcing a smile, “He’s wearing a veil, and you can tell he’s a beauty?!”

I think he’s just average!

“It’s more intriguing when you can’t see the full picture,” Ye Shuangfei smiled, then added with a sweet-like tone, “Actually, beauty and ugliness are not necessarily related to appearance. Shuhan’s intervention today for Guangsha demonstrates his deep feelings and sense of duty. I thought he would be like me in matters of love, not being blinded by the wonders of the world, but now it seems he’s no exception.”

Jiang Zhixi sneered: If you don’t look at the face, why are you chasing after me? Why not go chase after Xie Xiaozhu!

“Are you sure he’s enjoying the blessings of both worlds?” she had already calmed down… she didn’t believe it! “If I have to say, I think that neither of these two are his partners.”

Ye Shuangfei smiled but didn’t say anything.

Was she kidding? A man from the He Huan Sect, and she still fantasizes about him being faithful? Why don’t you say he’s still a virgin! Ha, women.

The brief and boring debate stopped, and what other people cared about was not the two beautiful men and women, but Ren Shuhan and Xie Xiaozhu.

Xie Xiaozhu recalled the frustration of the trial spiritual meeting at the beginning, gritted his teeth, “I came to Guangsha for a lesson, it has nothing to do with the stray cats and dogs on the roadside. I advise you to mind your own business and get out of here!”

Ren Shuhan gently waved his hand backward, indicating that the youth of the Duan family should go back and heal, and looked at Xie Xiaozhu steadily, “Although I have no sect, I owe a debt of gratitude to Master Duan. Today, I happened to pass by and will spar with you on behalf of the Duan family. You shouldn’t be afraid…”

Before he could finish his words, Xie Xiaozhu directly launched a sneak attack!

Master Duan, Jiang Zhixi: “Be careful!”

Ren Shuhan still had his feet on the immortal sword. He caught his whip with his bare hands, but he didn’t break free. Instead, he agilely flew over the top of his head and kicked him directly in the waist with a force so strong that he almost thought his waist was broken.

Unfortunately, the two of them were still entangled by the whip, and Ren Shuhan couldn’t kick him directly to the wall of Guangsha, so he had to throw him to the ground.

Before Xie Xiaozhu could react, Ren Shuhan lifted his long legs again and kicked him directly in the heart, making it impossible for him to get up.

The surrounding area fell into a dead silence.

Xie Xiaozhu had been beaten stupid.

He was at the Nascent Soul stage, already one of the most powerful young talents in the immortal realm. He had never thought that he would be so thoroughly suppressed that he couldn’t even retaliate.

The cultivators from the Wanzi Qianhong Cave immediately couldn’t sit still and rushed forward, while the people from Guangsha also wanted to come over, but they were a step too late. Jiang Zhixi was anxious and didn’t know if she could go forward, but Ye Shuangfei held her shoulder with one hand.

Then they saw Master Duan throw another flying sword from a distance and shouted, “Shuhan, catch the sword!”

This sword was sheathless, obviously crafted by a master alchemist. The sword body shimmered with colorful lights, indicating its extraordinary power. The people from the Wanzi Qianhong Cave then turned to try to snatch the sword.

Ren Shuhan didn’t compete with them. He somersaulted in mid-air, directly using his whip to brush against the blade. There was a crackling sound at the point of contact, sparks flying, and everyone had to dodge.

Xie Xiaozhu’s precious whip broke into two pieces.

The immortal sword landed steadily in Ren Shuhan’s hand. With a casual wave, he effortlessly dealt with the cultivators rushing towards him.

However, in another direction, some cultivators saw the situation turning unfavorable and two clever ones headed straight for Yun Xiangrong and Jiang Qingyue!

These two were traveling with Ren Shuhan. If they could capture them, they could surely use them as leverage.

But the prerequisite was “being able to capture them.”

Ren Shuhan’s reaction was terrifyingly fast. He leaped onto the flying sword and, before they could reach Jiang Qingyue, he scooped him up safely in his arms. Then, with a casual swing of Master Duan’s immortal sword, he overturned the other cultivators, including Yun Xiangrong.

Yun Xiangrong: “…”

Well, men

“Oops,” Ye Shuangfei exclaimed, patting Jiang Zhixi’s shoulder, “I guessed wrong. It seems Shuhan is clearly infatuated with this unknown beauty.”

Jiang Zhixi: “…”

Poor Lady Yun lmao “Well, men :)” killed me

Also, we’re so close to the end, there’s only 5 chapters left :’))))))
