Ao Cheng looked lazily at the people in front of him.
“Why have you only just arrived? I’ve been waiting for you, and it’s getting a bit tiresome,” Ao Cheng said indifferently.
Across from him, the faces of the various sect leaders and elders didn’t look too good, but they all dared not speak their anger.
At present, the entirety of the Eastern Central State was in chaos due to Ao Cheng’s arrival from the Dragon Valley, and the Evil Shadow Sect had been annihilated by him.
Everything was due to these powers being captivated and their judgement clouded by the promises of the ancient tribes. Now was the time for them to pay the price for their choices.
Those who came were not only these sect leaders and elders, but also the sons, daughters, and proud disciples of the sects.
Even the incomparably mysterious Miss Zhuang, Zhuang Yuling, had come.
However, Zhuang Yuling had no conflict with the Dragon Valley of the ancient tribes and was currently sitting on a high seat with Zhuang Huanling, watching the scene of numerous sect leaders apologizing with an indifferent gaze.
It was ironic that Zhuang Huanling, as the saintess of Jade Top Mountain, should have shared weal and woe with her sect. Yet now, she was watching the people of Jade Top Mountain and the sect leader with a derisive look.
As if none of this had anything to do with her.
“Alright, there is no need to waste words with you all. You should stay within the imperial city for the next few days!”
“Whenever my brother hears from me, you can then apologize.”
“If I find out that anyone dares to leave the imperial city secretly, you should consider the consequences.”
Ao Cheng snorted coldly, not even bothering to mock them, and simply turned around and left.
On the side, Zhuang Yuling also got up with Zhuang Huanling, looked coldly at the people of Jade Top Mountain, and followed Ao Cheng out without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, the sect leader of Jade Top Mountain had a bitter smile on his face.
When the ancient tribes first approached, he was indeed wooed by the benefits they promised. He even disregarded the early warning from Miss Zhuang, Zhuang Yuling, and directly decided to cooperate with the ancient tribes to arrest Jiang Xiaobai.
Now, it seemed that he was blinded by greed at the time. He made a stupid decision that not only hurt Jade Top Mountain but also offended Zhuang Huanling, whom Jade Top Mountain was eager to please, causing her to leave.
Yes, now Zhuang Huanling had nothing to do with Jade Top Mountain.
Upon leaving Mad Demon Secret Land and seeing what happened in the main hall that day, Zhuang Huanling immediately quit Jade Top Mountain.
Just being a saintess of Jade Top Mountain was nothing in Zhuang Huanling’s eyes.
“Auntie, do you really want me to get along with that Jiang Xiaobai?”
Zhuang Huanling sighed while holding Zhuang Yuling’s hand: “You know about my grudges with that dog, don’t you?”
Every time she thought about what her aunt had said, Zhuang Huanling only felt a splitting headache, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She never expected things to turn out like this.
Looking at the complaining Zhuang Huanling, Zhuang Yuling gave a faint smile and gently rubbed her head.
“Linger, these are just minor disagreements between you kids, it’s not a big deal.”
“That boy not only has terrifying talents and potential, but he also has the support of Dragon Valley. Your aunt told you about the current situation in Dragon Valley yesterday, you should know.”
Zhuang Huanling pouted impatiently: “So what? There’s no way he’d be willing to help me.”
“Whether he’s willing or not is another matter. It’s most important to have a good relationship. Maybe in time, he’ll be willing to help you without you even asking.”
Seeing Zhuang Yuling’s devilish smile, Zhuang Huanling stopped in her tracks, looking at her with a sidelong glance.
“Tsk, auntie, I never knew you were so heartless. Even if that boy is willing to help me, isn’t this like pushing him into the fire pit?”
“Oh, you’re shy?” Zhuang Yuling suddenly changed the topic, leaving Zhuang Huanling taken aback, and totally unexpected.
For a moment, Zhuang Huanling stood speechless.
On the side, Zhuang Yuling gave a light laugh, her eyes full of longing for youth. She then shrugged helplessly and led Zhuang Huanling into a large palace without saying anything more.
This was the largest and most luxurious welcoming palace of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. However, it had now become Ao Cheng’s private mansion, taken over by him.
Ao Cheng was currently sitting in the palace, leisurely sipping his tea. Seeing the two women come in, his brows furrowed.
“Saintess, Miss Zhuang, why are you here?”
Ao Cheng got up, his expression grave for the first time.
He knew very well that the origins of these two women were extremely terrifying. Even the Jade Ling Palace, where Ao Yan was located, was very wary of them.
So the usually flamboyant and carefree Ao Cheng, when facing these two people, appeared humble, much more mature than before, knowing when to be arrogant and when to be reserved.
Zhuang Yuling looked at Ao Cheng’s demeanor and nodded in satisfaction: “Not bad, there is a worthy successor in Dragon Valley, you are almost catching up with your sister.”
“Hehe, the saintess is joking. Everyone knows how powerful my sister is, how can I compare with her?”
Ao Cheng scratched his head, then quickly acted as an attendant and started pouring tea for the two women.
If Jiang Xiaobai saw this scene, he would probably drop his jaw in disbelief. Was this still that idle and pampered Ao Cheng?
“There’s nothing of particular importance for coming here this time, just wanting to chat with you,” Zhuang Yuling seemed very approachable. Even though her face was covered by a veil and could not be seen, they could still feel her amiability.
Then the three of them really did start chatting, like old friends, pleasantly.
They started by talking about Ao Cheng’s situation, then moved onto Dragon Valley’s situation, and slowly drifted off topic. Eventually, Zhuang Yuling finally got to the point and started asking about Jiang Xiaobai’s past and so on.
Ao Cheng didn’t hide anything at all. He told the two women everything he knew about Jiang Xiaobai, as well as many stories that had happened in Dragon Valley.
For a while, Zhuang Yuling’s and Zhuang Huanling’s faces were filled with disbelief.
“Impossible. How could his cultivation speed be so fast? Is he a god descending to earth?” Zhuang Huanling couldn’t help but exclaim.
Ao Cheng shrugged: “Although I also don’t want to admit it, that guy’s cultivation speed is like cheating, unparalleled.”
The hall fell silent as the three of them discussed Jiang Xiaobai’s cultivation potential, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
Zhuang Huanling even wanted to catch Jiang Xiaobai and ask him clearly.
“Alright, we’ve chatted enough for today. Let’s go back and rest. When your brother Jiang Xiaobai comes, we’ll chat more.”
Zhuang Yuling got up and said.
Ao Cheng was stunned: “Saintess, what do you mean?”
“Is there something important you want to tell my brother?”
