Hearing 520 say that the male lead was coming, Luan Qing Xiao stopped and waited in place.



Nie Zhen'er asked, puzzled, "Mistress, shouldn’t we be moving?" Her staying here would definitely hinder Mistress.



Luan Qing Xiao rubbed the top of her head, "Let’s wait a little. Mistress can protect you, don't worry."



On the martial art stages in the distance, there were already two female Xi Hua Pavilion disciples injured and appeared about to be overwhelmed. At this moment, a handsome figure flew in and landed on the stage. With one kick, he deflected the two Demonic cultivators and rescued two Xi Hua Pavilion disciples.



Luan Qing Xiao furrowed her brows: Why is Ying Yuan Yu suddenly so powerful? The Demonic cultivators on the martial arts stage are all Nascent Soul cultivation bases, whereas he’s only Foundation Building right now. Even if he’s a genius that can battle higher realms, he can’t skip this many realms.



【Ding! The male lead has absorbed the female Demonic cultivator, Yin Yin’s, cultivation base, which greatly increased his cultivation. Now he’s the same as Host dada, and is about to break through to Nascant Void. 】



Luan Qing Xiao: Absorb others' cultivation base? Is Ying Yuan Yu a Demonic cultivator?



【Almost, but his situation is different from those of the Demonic Dao. The cultivation base was absorbed by his divine sense, while the body was only responsible for processing it. Therefore, Ying Yuan Yu won’t have the slightest Demonic qi on his body. He’ll just seem like a normal Righteous cultivator. 】



At the same time with 520’s explanation, the situation on the martial art stage had changed drastically because of Ying Yuan Yu's participation. Lots of Demonic cultivators became either dead and wounded, soaking the light blue stone slab in fresh blood.



Yue Yue heard the screams from her female Demonic cultivators and couldn't help resist looking over. She was shocked when  she saw all the people she had brought were killed by the man that Yin Yin had captured.



Luo Song Ling took this opportunity to thrust her sword into Yue Yue's shoulder. This caused Yue Yue to bleed from the corners of her mouth by the qi impact. She stretched out her hand to pull out Luo Song Ling's sword and threw some sedative powder on Luo Song Ling before preparing to escape.



How could Ying Yuan Yu give her a chance to slip away? He flew over and attacked Yue Yue's heart with a palm. Yue Yue was injured to begin with, now being hit by Ying Yuan Yu with all his strength, made her body fall like a kite with a broken line. As the blood gushed from the mouth, she fell heavily on the ground.



A faint smile hung on the corner of Ying Yuan Yu's mouth. Walking slowly to Yue Yue who was barely breathing, he raised his hand to suck the long sword next to unconscious Luo Song Ling, "Puff!"



The long sword pierced Yue Yue's heart without any mercy.



At this point, all the Demonic cultivators sent by Lian Hua Pavilion were killed by Ying Yuan Yu.



Ying Yuan Yu raised his head. Seeing Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er, he came over with a smile. "Shi Shu, Zhen'er." Now that his current cultivation was the same as Luan Qing Xiao's, he finally didn't need to watch his behavior around her anymore and even dared to speak to Nie Zhen’er in front of her.



Feeling Luan Qing Xiao stared at him with a profound gaze, Ying Yuan Yu responded with a puzzled gaze. "Shi Shu?"



Nie Zhen'er just saw the scene where Ying Yuan Yu was murdering people without hesitation and was a little scared in her heart. She hid behind Luan Qing Xiao and pulled her sleeves as she whispered. "Mistress, how about you tell Mountain Lord Wen, the Demonic cultivators on this side are all dead? Senior-Senior Brother Ying killed them."



Although Ying Yuan Yu never got Nie Zhen'er to look at him, he was still in a great mood. A smile on the corners of his brows and eyes. This smile was warm and clean, but was extremely discordant against the blood stains on his hands.



Luan Qing Xiao retracted her gaze, "Yuan Yu stayed here to take care of the Xi Hua Pavilion’s female disciples. Zhen'er and I will go find Mountain Lord Wen."



Luan Qing Xiao turned around and extended her hand to Nie Zhen'er. Nie Zhen'er put her hand on the palm of Luan Qing Xiao's palm. Then Luan Qing Xiao held her tender hand and pulled her away.



Following Luan Qing Xiao, Nie Zhen’er couldn't help but look back at Ying Yuan Yu. She felt that this Senior Brother Ying was somewhat different.



Ying Yuan Yu was also watching her. Seeing her turn back, the smile on his face became increasingly gentle.



Yet Nie Zhen'er shuddered. She quickly turned her head back and clutched Luan Qing Xiao with the other hand.



"Mistress, although Senior Brother Ying has done a good thing, I seem to dislike him even more." Nie Zhen'er whispered in Luan Qing Xiao's ear.



"In the future, keep a distance from him.Ying Yuan Yu is no longer normal."



"Okay, I’ll definitely obey Mistress's words."



When Luan Qing Xiao walked out of Ying Yuan Yu's line of sight, she stopped and took out the jade piece to contact Wen Huai Wen. She told him what had happened on the martial art arena.



"Chen Qing has also taken care of the He Huan Sect’s Demonic cultivators outside of San Wen Mountain. I’ll immediately bring people back to the martial art stage."



After Wen Huai Wen brought people back, the body of the Demonic cultivators in the martial arts field was quickly removed and burned. The injured female cultivators in Xi Hua Pavilion also each received a healing pill. Once they consumed the pill, the wound on their body began to heal immediately. Within a quarter of an hour, there was no trace of the wound left.



As for Luo Song Ling, the dose of sedative powder she inhaled was small. She woke up soon after without taking a pill.



"Mountain Lord Wen, who is the cultivator just now?"



The first thing Luo Song Ling did after waking up was to ask about Ying Yuan Yu.



Before Wen Huai Wen could answer, Ying Yuan Yu walked up to Luo Song Ling and clasped his hands. "This one is Shang Qing Palace’s Palace Lord, Jing Meng Jun’s direct disciple, Ying Yuan Yu, Senior Luo."



Luo Song Ling's eyes filled with appreciation, "I’ll address you Yuan Yu due to my advanced age. Just now, you saved my Xi Hua Pavilion disciples. From now on, you’ll be the benefactor of my Xi Hua Pavilion. In the upcoming days, Xi Hua Pavilion will send a thank you gift to Shang Qing Palace."



"Senior Luo is too polite, everyone should be united against the Demonic Path." Ying Yuan Yu replied calmly.



Ying Yuan Yu's composed appearance to fame and fortune won the goodwill of the majority of the cultivators. Some cultivators even shouted, "Cultivator Ying, you not only saved Xi Hua Pavilion, but also all of us. You are everyone's benefactor!"



"Benefactor, please accept this bow from us!" The male lead's reputation reached its peak at this moment.



In the afternoon, the Inter-Sect Grand Competition continued. The next morning, Hui Meng Tong and Ying Yuan Yu competed against each other.



Hui Meng Tong was unsurprisingly defeated.



Ying Yuan Yu was only in his twenties, yet his cultivation base was approaching Luan Qing Xiao, who was a few hundred years old. Of course with the sudden increase in his cultivation base, someone asked him how he did it. Ying Yuan Yu smiled and answered when he was abducted by the Demonic cultivator, he jumped off a cliff to escape. In the bottom of the cliff he ate a fruit and experiencing a painful tempering, his cultivation level became like this.



The day after the Inter-Sect Grand Competition ended, Luan Qing Xiao and her team set off to return to the Shang Qing Palace.



During the fifteen days on the Cloudy Dragon Ark, Ying Yuan Yu always approached Nie Zhen'er intentionally or unintentionally. Although Luan Qing Xiao was angry, she didn’t reveal it to his face.



Once back in the Shang Qing Palace, Ying Yuan Yu’s good reputation has already reached there first. Jing Meng Jun and the other three elders all spoke highly of Yuan Yu. Jing Meng Jun even began to consider nurturing Ying Yuan Yu as the Shang Qing Palace’s Young Palace Lord. However, it was objected to by Luan Qing Xiao in the end and Jing Meng Jun respected Luan Qing Xiao's opinions very much.



In the cultivation world, all powerful people are respected. Since Ying Yuan Yu experienced a fortuitous encounter, causing his cultivation base to significantly increase, and was also one of the best in Shang Qing Palace, Jing Meng Jun decided to add an elder position for Ying Yuan Yu after discussing it with the elders. He also gifted the Zhu Feng Peak, which was temporarily empty, to Ying Yuan Yu.



One day, when Luan Qing Xiao was playing chess with Nie Zhen'er in Luscious Spring Hall, she embraced her from behind and held Nie Zhen'er's hand to help her place down a game piece.



"Does Zhen’er understand why Mistress placed this here?"



Feeling Luan Qing Xiao's scorching breath on her ear, Nie Zhen'er couldn’t calm down enough to concentrate.



"Mistress, Zhen’er don't know." Nie Zhen'er turned around and looked at Luan Qing Xiao pitifully.



The faces of the two of them were very close at this moment. Luan Qing Xiao's eyes dropped slightly to focus on Nie Zhen'er's rubescent lips.



【Ding! The fifth compulsory plot is coming! The male lead wants to marry the female lead and is about to propose, requesting Host to reject it for the female lead. 】



Luan Qing Xiao: Rejecting it for Zhen'er? Are you sure this is to facilitate the relationship of the male and female lead?



【After Host dada rejected him, the female and male lead will elope and wander the land as the ideal couple ... But with Host dada here, it’ll be impossible for the male and female lead to be together. Once Host dada rejects the proposal, you can consider marrying the female lead yourself~】



Luan Qing Xiao: Good idea!
