The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 82: Master and Disciple, a Perfect Match?

“Girl, I am Li Nanshan, the elder of the Flowing Wind Sword Sect. If you are being forced, just say a word, and I’ll risk my life to uphold justice for you today!”

An old man with white hair and a long, shining sword suddenly spoke to Ning Yao.

His body exuded a strong and fierce aura, like an unsheathed sharp sword.

However, his gaze towards Ning Yao was extremely gentle.

As soon as Li Nanshan’s words fell, an old woman with white hair and gray clothes, who was not far away, also looked at Ning Yao with a kind expression.

“I, Spirit Sound Valley’s Deputy Valley Master, am also willing to uphold justice for you, little girl. In the cultivation world, we value following one’s heart, nature, and fate. If you’re being forced, what future do you have?”

With these two taking the lead, the other six Golden Core cultivators also looked at Ning Yao with kind intentions.

Their words seemed to be hinting at something.

Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but want to laugh.

He suddenly thought of some TV dramas he had watched before crossing over.

If you’re being forced, just blink?

He also noticed that these Golden Core cultivators, after speaking, slightly moved the corners of their mouths.

Apparently, they were also secretly communicating with Ning Yao.

Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen let out a sigh of relief.

He was now more at ease.

From these people’s behavior, it was clear that no matter which sect Ning Yao ended up in, she would be treated well.

As for Ning Yao, Su Jingzhen didn’t have to worry about her anymore.

At this time, his gaze unconsciously turned towards the direction of Clear Wind Mountain.

Ning Yao was destined to have a good future, but what about sister-in-law Zhang Xiu now? He had no idea.

“If sister-in-law were here today and saw this scene, she would probably be very pleased.”

As Su Jingzhen was secretly feeling emotional, he suddenly heard Ning Yao speak again.

“Please forgive me, seniors. I need to consult with my teacher and master before making a decision.”

Su Jingzhen didn’t know what Shuang Jiang had said to Ning Yao earlier.

At this time, the little girl spoke very calmly.

“En?”

However, upon hearing this, Senior Jiuchi’s eyebrows twitched again.

He didn’t expect that, despite his earlier threats, the little girl would still dare to mention her teacher.

He had thought that his earlier words would have already intimidated Ning Yao.

“Girl, aren’t you afraid that I’ll really take your teacher’s head?” Senior Jiuchi asked with some curiosity.

In response, Ning Yao revealed a sweet smile towards Senior Jiuchi: “I know that seniors won’t do that. And even if that were the case, I wouldn’t have any possibility of acknowledging you as my master.”

Ning Yao herself was extremely intelligent and didn’t seem like a child of her age.

At this time, she had gained some confidence and was no longer subconsciously afraid.

Her intelligence and wit were fully on display.

As soon as she spoke, Senior Jiuchi was overjoyed.

“Good! You may go, and I’m also curious to know what kind of person can teach a clever child like you.”

Senior Jiuchi’s words had barely fallen when Ning Yao directly headed towards Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang’s direction.

Along the way, she respectfully bowed to Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai.

She knew that these people had been worried about her earlier.

Senior Jiuchi silently followed three steps behind Ning Yao.

As he passed by, the crowd parted to make way for him.

This old man looked disheveled, but his aura was undoubtedly suppressing the entire scene.

He was still on the square when the conflicts that had erupted earlier between the black-clothed men and the Huayang Sect disciples suddenly ceased.

It was as if they didn’t dare to make too much noise and disturb Senior Jiuchi.

At this time, the eight Golden Core cultivators in the sky also put away their magical tools.

They descended onto the square, standing silently in eight directions.

It was as if they were sealing off Ning Yao and Senior Jiuchi inside.

Although they had already guessed that Ning Yao would likely choose Senior Jiuchi, the eight of them still had ulterior motives.

Behind them, their sects also had Nascent Soul cultivators, and they weren’t too afraid of Senior Jiuchi at the sect level.

So, they really didn’t want to let Senior Jiuchi get away with this today.

As Ning Yao walked towards Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang, the smile on her face became more natural and carefree.

This was an expression she only showed in front of people close to her.

But when she approached Su Jingzhen and saw the bloodstains on his body and Chen Jinshi’s gruesome corpse in the distance, her body suddenly trembled, and her small face turned pale.

The little girl had always been well-protected by sister-in-law Zhang Xiu and had never seen such a scene before.

However, she still forced herself to suppress her discomfort and came to stand before Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang.

Without saying much, she directly knelt down on both knees.

“Mr. Su, Master’s Wife, Yao’er have not disappointed you. I’ve awakened my spiritual roots.”

As she said this, Su Jingzhen could clearly sense the joy in Ning Yao’s heart.

Shuang Jiang hurriedly helped her up.

At this time, the three of them seemed like a family of three.

The crowd only saw the three of them laughing and chatting.

Su Jingzhen’s every word to Ning Yao was a reminder.

It was as if a loving old father was giving his daughter a final farewell before she departed.

While Su Jingzhen was speaking to Ning Yao, Senior Jiuchi, who had been feeling bored, glanced at Chen Jinshi’s corpse beside him.

His expression changed slightly.

He then walked forward, looking at Su Jingzhen with suspicion.

He had seen Su Jingzhen kill Chen Jinshi with a single brick earlier, but most of his attention had been on Ning Yao.

“Second layer of Qi Refining…”

“No, if it was just the second layer, it would be impossible to kill a Qi Refining grandmaster with one hit.”

“You’re not a Body Cultivator, are you?”

“But why don’t you have the characteristics of a Body Cultivator on your body?”

As a Nascent Soul old monster, even though he hadn’t paid much attention earlier, he could still infer some things through these subtle clues.

He suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed abruptly.

Then, he took another step forward and directly grabbed Su Jingzhen’s right hand.

Su Jingzhen secretly thought, “This is bad,” but Senior Jiuchi was, after all, a Nascent Soul old monster, and he couldn’t dodge him.

Shuang Jiang also didn’t choose to intervene.

But it was only for a brief moment before Senior Jiuchi let go of him.

His expression suddenly became extremely strange.

When he looked at Su Jingzhen, it was as if he was looking at a monster.

“His dantian is actually in this state… but he is still taking another orthodox path…”

Su Jingzhen naturally knew that Senior Jiuchi had probably already investigated his entire situation.

As he muttered to himself, Senior Jiuchi didn’t explicitly state his thoughts, but Su Jingzhen was able to understand.

Senior Jiuchi then looked at Su Jingzhen and said, “You’re quite an extraordinary person, though.”

Su Jingzhen felt a hint of regret in Senior Jiuchi’s tone, but in the next second, Senior Jiuchi’s tone suddenly shifted.

“However, I’ve always had a fondness for unusual people like you. Will you be willing to take me as your master?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene was shocked!

What the hell, is this a master-disciple recruitment?!
