Chapter 564: Warning? Careful With Your Words, Master Daoist Li’s Blackmail

Leng Ningyu was taking Chu Kuangren on a tour around Seven Emotions Sect.

As they both had otherworldly looks, standing together made them look like a power couple.

All the disciples who saw them were extremely envious.

In Seven Emotions Sect, Leng Ningyu always had the prestigious image of a fairy who was untainted by the sins of the world. Aside from Chi Yue and Lady Leng Yue, not even the few elders and core Daoists close to her could start a conversation with her. After all, not many would attempt to foster a relationship with an emotionless person.

Nevertheless, this did not stop people from having all sorts of fantasies about her, and there were quite some people who secretly admired Leng Ningyu.

Even so, none of them had ever heard her getting close with any man.

The image of Leng Ningyu taking someone around with her, just like today, was indeed a rare sight to behold. It was the Seven Emotions Sect members’ first time seeing her so close with somebody in public.

“Brother Chu, here is Seven Emotions Sect’s Cascading Waterfall.”

Leng Ningyu brought Chu Kuangren to a waterfall, where the water cascaded down from a cliff. The sound of water splattering was so loud that it could be heard from over ten meters out.

After Leng Ningyu introduced the waterfall, she stood at one side in silence, leaving Chu Kuangren there to admire it on his own.

It was like that for most parts of the tour.

Every time they reached a place, Leng Ningyu would tell him the name and then proceed to step behind without saying anything. It was obvious that she seldom interacted with people. Sometimes, she would look like she wanted to say something but could not find the right topic to start the conversation.

Most of the time, it was Chu Kuangren who initiated the conversation. Only then would she reply in a few words.

“Sister Leng, do you know the Sword Tribe’s Daoist?”

Chu Kuangren asked casually all of a sudden.

“I do.” Leng Ningyu nodded.

“I heard Sword Daoist is pursuing you, Sister Leng.”

“Pursuing?” Leng Ningyu frowned, seemingly pondering about what that word actually meant. After that, she said, “Sword Daoist does look for me more frequently than the other people. As for pursuing, Brother Chu, you mean to say that he wishes to be my Daoist companion, right?”

“Yes. What are your thoughts about it?”

“My sole focus is on my Dao cultivation. That thought has never crossed my mind.”

“I see.”

Anyhow, Chu Kuangren was just asking for fun, so he did not pursue this matter further.

“Ningyu, I didn’t know you were here.”

Just then, a voice was heard from behind them.

A young man in white was seen walking up toward them. When the man saw Chu Kuangren, an odd expression flashed across his eyes, and he then stared at the latter vigilantly. “This must be the renowned Chu Kuangren who has become popular in recent days. Nice to meet you, Brother Chu. My name’s Li Celong.”

Upon arriving at Seven Emotions Sect, he had heard of people mentioning Chu Kuangren’s visit here. Coupling that information with Chu Kuangren’s exquisite appearance, it was not hard to guess that the person in front of him was indeed the man.

“Nice to meet you, Brother Li.” Chu Kuangren glanced at Li Celong with a hint of mischief in his eyes.

Was this guy acting hostile toward him?

Why?

“Long time no see, Ningyu. How are you lately?” Li Celong looked at Leng Ningyu and asked caringly.

That was when realization dawned on Chu Kuangren.

This guy was here because of Leng Ningyu. He was another one of Leng Ningyu’s admirers.

“Thank you for your kind concern, Brother Li. I’m fine as always. Oh, right. Is Senior Li here as well?”

“Yes. Honorable Teacher is now looking into Senior Leng Yue’s condition.”

“I shall go have a look too then.”

Leng Ningyu said before turning around and making her way toward the grand pagoda.

Chu Kuangren was feeling a little curious too, so he followed her.

Beside him, Li Celong looked at him maliciously. “I wonder why you’re here, Brother Chu? What are your intentions for getting close to Ningyu?”

“Pfft, what does this have to do with you?”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. He could not be bothered to explain anything to this person.

On the other hand, a cold gaze shot out from Li Celong’s eyes. “I don’t care how incredible you really are, Chu Kuangren. I’m warning you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, an overwhelming sword aura suddenly encased him.

The sword aura was so powerful that it almost made him suffocate.

“Warn me? Nobody has been brave enough to issue me a warning, Brother Li. Be careful with your words.”

Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

Right across him, Li Celong was already so terrified by the domineering aura that sweat started to form on his forehead.

That was so scary.

Li Celong knew that he may not be an outlawed sky-pride, but he was still one of the most elite amongst the sky-prides.

Even so, he could not endure Chu Kuangren’s aura at all.

“Brother Li, Brother Chu, what are you guys up to?”

Sensing something weird occurring behind her, Leng Ningyu turned around to have a look. She glanced at Chu Kuangren and Li Celong curiously.

“Nothing.”

Chu Kuangren smiled and retracted his sword aura.

His mastery of auras had gotten so spectacular that not one bit was leaked when he was using it against Li Celong.

That was why Leng Ningyu did not even notice it at all.

Without any suspicions, Leng Ningyu continued walking forward, and Chu Kuangren followed her too.

Behind them, Li Celong watched Chu Kuangren’s back silently. Although this was their first meeting, he looked as if he was looking at a sworn enemy.

“I don’t mind plucking off your eyeballs for you if you keep staring at me with those eyes.”

Chu Kuangren’s cold voice rang out in Li Celong’s ears.

After hearing that threat, Li Celong immediately looked away.

He knew that if the rumors out there were true, not even ten of him would be strong enough to take down Chu Kuangren.

The three of them eventually arrived at the grand pagoda.

The moment they stepped into the hall, Chu Kuangren could already sense some unusual energy coursing through the room.

There were five people in the room.

Besides Lady Leng Yue and Chi Yue, there was another handsome middle-aged man with gray hair on either side of his temples. The other two in the group looked much older.

At this moment, Lady Leng Yue was staring at that middle-aged man with a hint of agitation in her beautiful eyes.

“Master Daoist Li, you’re just taking advantage of me here. Don’t you think you’ve crossed the line?”

Lady Leng Yue reprimanded him with a harsh tone in her voice.

Meanwhile, Master Daoist Li said composedly, “Lady Leng Yue, this is my only requirement. It’s fine if you don’t agree. However, I’m afraid that other than me, no other physician or alchemist in this world can help you control this flame poison inside your body.”

“Senior Li, you’re a prestigious Master Physician of this generation. Don’t you feel ashamed for tabling such a ridiculous requirement?”

Chi Yue glared at Master Daoist Li. There was a similar hostile expression on her face.

“This is a matter between me and your Honorable Teacher. A youngling like you has no right to interfere in this,” Master Daoist Li commented.

“What’s going on here?”

Leng Ningyu walked toward them from the side and asked curiously.

“Senior Sister, Senior Li says he has a way to cure the flame poison inside Honorable Teacher’s body, but only on the condition that he can become Honorable Teacher’s Daoist companion.”

Chi Yue explained to her in anger.

However, Leng Ningyu did not have much of a reaction after hearing that. Instead, she merely frowned. “Senior Li, could you please change the requirement to something else?”

“I’ve adored your Honorable Teacher for years, but she keeps insisting on rejecting me. I’ve had enough, and today, I must achieve what I’ve always wanted.”

Master Daoist Li inhaled deeply and looked at Lady Leng Yue. His eyes were burning with desire.

He had already fallen for Lady Leng Yue since they were young. However, he had never succeeded in his advances after so many years. When he knew that she was poisoned, his first reaction was not to feel sad for Lady Leng Yue but instead… excitement.

The reason was that he could use his profession and openly utilize it to make advances on her.
