The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 83: Scram

Although everyone knew that Senior Jiuchi’s previous threat to take Su Jingzhen’s head was just a bluff to scare Ning Yao, the gap between that and taking him as a disciple was still too great.

From threatening to take his head to suddenly becoming his master? Even Su Jingzhen himself couldn’t react in time.

If Senior Jiuchi had discovered his talent for alchemy, that would be one thing. But now, he was only aware that Su Jingzhen had opened a secret chamber, and yet he wanted to take him as a disciple? That was indeed a bit strange.

After all, Senior Jiuchi didn’t know how long it took Su Jingzhen to open those two secret chambers.

Thinking about this, Su Jingzhen still dared to stand tall, but only because Shuang Jiang was standing beside him. Otherwise, with a Nascent Soul old monster, and one who might take his life at whim, standing beside him, Su Jingzhen would have found it difficult to remain calm.

As Su Jingzhen stood there, stunned, Senior Jiuchi raised an eyebrow: “What’s wrong? I’m taking you as my disciple, and you’re not willing?”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up in a bitter smile.

Still, he stood tall and said, “Please forgive me, senior. I’m used to being free.”

This statement clearly conveyed his refusal.

It not only surprised Senior Jiuchi but also shocked the surrounding crowd.

In everyone’s eyes, Su Jingzhen was already over twenty years old, no longer in the golden age of cultivation.

But Senior Jiuchi was taking him as a disciple. This is such a rare opportunity, how dare he refuse?

“This Su Jingzhen is indeed full of surprises.”

“Of course. Although I didn’t see how he killed Chen Jinshi, being able to do so already sets him apart from ordinary people. So, whatever unexpected actions he takes, it’s not surprising.”

Before Senior Jiuchi could respond, Su Jingzhen continued, “Moreover, Ning Yao is my student, and I fully support her in taking you as her master. If I were to take you as my master as well, wouldn’t that be a mess?”

“Good courage!”

In front of thousands of people, Senior Jiuchi had personally offered to take Su Jingzhen as a disciple, only to be rejected so ruthlessly.

Although Senior Jiuchi didn’t care about face, he still felt a hint of anger in his heart.

Senior Jiuchi then looked at Su Jingzhen with a playful gaze: “What if I insist on taking you as my disciple today?”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up in a smile.

He calmly said, “Then perhaps you’ll lose face today, senior.”

Su Jingzhen’s words were calm, but they shocked the people around him once again.

The most worried ones were Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai.

Feng Qingya had already understood Su Jingzhen’s identity since she saw the black brick in his hand. When he registered as an Alchemy Master, she had already considered Su Jingzhen as her own person.

Although Feng Qingya could accept Senior Jiuchi taking Ning Yao away, she would never accept Senor Jiuchi taking Su Jingzhen away as well.

In Feng Qingya’s eyes, a first-rate alchemist with a success rate close to 100% was not weaker than a heavenly spiritual roots girl. In some aspects, he might even be stronger.

So today, between Su Jingzhen and Ning Yao, she had to get one of them!

As for Luo Yuebai, he had been curious about Su Jingzhen from the start.

He had already felt that Su Jingzhen was extremely unusual, and his sudden explosion, killing Chen Jinshi, who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refinement, had left him even more shocked and curious.

At this moment, Luo Yuebai’s thoughts were similar to Feng Qingya’s.

Neither of them had expected that Su Jingzhen would dare to speak to a Nascent Soul old monster like that!

Make a Nascent Soul old monster lose face? What nonsense are you talking about, Friend Su!

At this moment, Luo Yuebai felt that even if he deployed his powers in time, he might not be able to save Su Jingzhen.

Everyone who knew Senior Jiuchi knew that he was extremely eccentric.

He could become friends with anyone, regardless of their status.

He could also kill anyone without hesitation, even a great sect’s elder or a saint.

So, most people in the great sects didn’t want to provoke him.

Just like the eight Golden Core cultivators earlier, if they could achieve their goals with a friendly attitude, they would definitely not want to fight him.

So, in their eyes, Su Jingzhen was truly seeking death.

Although they were worried about this.

But Su Jingzhen’s calm and carefree demeanor, with his blood-stained body, facing the Nascent Soul old monster, made Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai feel a strange sense of unease.

And as they felt this way, Su Jingzhen became even stranger.

Because, in front of him, two lines of golden small characters suddenly appeared.

?Emotional Connection +2?

?Emotional Connection +2?

?Remaining usable points: 171?

Su Jingzhen was stunned.

His gaze unconsciously shifted towards Feng Qingya and the others, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

These four points were truly unexpected.

“You kid, do you know what you’re saying?”

As Su Jingzhen was stunned, Senior Jiuchi’s voice suddenly turned cold.

The moment he spoke, Su Jingzhen felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him.

His body began to tremble rapidly.

His Qi refinement was only at the second layer, and his physical body was only at the eighth layer of the Flesh Body Mysterious Embryo.

How could he withstand the pressure of a Nascent Soul old monster?

At this time, Shuang Jiang’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

She was already a bit annoyed with Senior Jiuchi.

“Scram!”

She lightly opened her mouth and spat out a single word.

Only Su Jingzhen and Senior Jiuchi heard this word.

And when Shuang Jiang opened her mouth, Su Jingzhen clearly felt the same ‘force’ that had been applied to Feng Qingya’s body at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s second floor reappear!

In an instant, Su Jingzhen felt the pressure on his body disappear completely.

But Senior Jiuchi’s face suddenly changed drastically!

A hint of extreme fear spread in the depths of his eyes.

The next second, he didn’t hesitate at all.

He grabbed Ning Yao’s arm and threw the wine gourd at his waist into the air.

It instantly transformed back into a giant, one-zhang tall.

“Girl, let’s go!”

He took Ning Yao and sat on the wine gourd, directly flying towards the distant sky.

It looked like they were fleeing for their lives.

“Girl, you must cultivate well. I’ll bring your mother to find you after a while.”

Su Jingzhen didn’t react immediately.

Only when the wine gourd flew into the sky did he finally respond, instructing Ning Yao once more.

To others, Senior Jiuchi’s sudden departure was incomprehensible.

Even the eight Golden Core cultivators didn’t know what had just happened between Su Jingzhen and Senior Jiuchi.

“What’s going on with Jiuchi?”

“Is it an urgent matter or is he intentionally trying to catch us off guard and take that girl away?”

“Are we chasing or not?”

“Chase? How can we chase? Golden Core chasing Nascent Soul?”

“Even if we could catch up, what could we do?”

“……”

Regardless of why Senior Jiuchi fled in such a hurry, the eight Golden Core cultivators, although filled with regret and unwillingness, ultimately gave up on Ning Yao.

“What a pity…”

At this moment, the eight people’s curious gazes turned towards Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang.

With suspicion and a hint of fear, they seemed to sense that Senior Jiuchi was scared away by these two.

Who were these two, anyway?
