Chapter 305: Getting Closer to You
He didn’t know why Luo Yuebai’s reaction was so intense.
He was originally standing outside the courtyard, he now unconsciously kneeled down on one knee, his body trembling slightly.
Only those cultivators who had always followed Luo Yuebai knew the extent of the Evil Moon Sect’s Saintess’s ferocity.
Despite her seemingly kind and carefree demeanor, she would not hesitate to kill when the time came, without any mercy.
“I just asked you, where did he go?”
Luo Yuebai’s tone grew even colder.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator outside the courtyard became even more terrified.
He immediately repeated what he had said earlier:“According to Master Su’s direction after leaving the Evil Moon Sect, it’s indeed the Treasure Gathering Pavilion!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard fell into a prolonged silence.
After a good few dozen breaths, when the Foundation Establishment cultivator was under immense pressure, Luo Yuebai finally spoke again:
“I know, scram.”
It was just one sentence, but it was like a great amnesty.
And Luo Yuebai’s aura in the courtyard had already returned to calm.
She was, after all, the former Saintess of the Evil Moon Sect and now the Sect Master of the Linjiang Branch.
Although she had lost her composure earlier, she still possessed some dignity and poise.
After thinking for a while, Luo Yuebai smiled: “It just so happens that I haven’t been out for a long time.”
As she muttered to herself, Luo Yuebai left her courtyard.
Heading towards the outside of the Evil Moon Sect.
…
At the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Su Jingzhen didn’t choose to hide his presence.
He simply walked in with a swagger.
Unsurprisingly, he immediately became the center of attention.
In fact, in Linjiang City, although there were many outsiders, most of them had heard of Su Jingzhen’s legend.
Some were even native cultivators of Linjiang City.
Naturally, they recognized his identity at first glance.
“Su Jingzhen!
Who would have thought we’d meet him at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion today?”
“This is a legendary figure!
In the past two years, he had been hiding in Linjiang City, not showing his face, despite possessing extraordinary Body Cultivation and alchemy skills.
Luckily, we didn’t offend him back then.”
“I heard that this time, the Yunmeng City Feng Family’s Alchemy Conference, Su Jingzhen, together with a girl named Xuening, achieved an outstanding first place.
And they also established a very good relationship with the Feng Family.
He was already a hidden dragon, and after the Alchemy Conference, he directly broke out of his shell.”
“……”
At this time, on the first floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, many cultivators gazed at Su Jingzhen with admiration and envy in their eyes.
Linjiang City was just a small place, and before the Evil Moon Sect took over, it was almost non-existent on the Qingzhou continent.
But the fact that they could produce a Su Jingzhen was already a great honor for many low-level cultivators.
At least in the future, when Linjiang City developed, these low-level cultivators could boast about it in wine houses or brothels, saying they had lived on the same street as the legendary Su Jingzhen.
However, despite the discussions, no one dared to approach Su Jingzhen and strike up a conversation.
In the cultivation world, people of the same realm might interact with each other, even if they were at different stages of their cultivation. But when the difference in power and status reached a certain level, most people would have the self-awareness to keep a distance.
They would admire and respect Su Jingzhen, but they didn’t think they had the qualifications to talk to him.
As Su Jingzhen walked through the first floor hall, he wore a gentle smile on his face. When his eyes met with a cultivator, he would nod and smile in response.
However, for many low-level cultivators, even this unintentional gesture was enough to gain their favor.
In their eyes, it was a different kind of feeling.
Many times, the reputation of a powerful cultivator was closely related to these low-level cultivators.
After all, it was these low-level cultivators who spread the news.
Su Jingzhen directly walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. This time, he didn’t take out his Alchemy Master token.
He wanted to try and see if the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s array formation could detect the power level of his body.
However, as soon as he touched the array formation, he passed through it without any obstruction.
Su Jingzhen was shocked, but he could understand.
After all, he hadn’t intentionally restrained his blood energy, which was surging through his meridians.
Step by step, Su Jingzhen headed towards the second floor, wondering who would be waiting for him next.
However, as soon as he reached the exit of the second floor staircase, he saw a luxurious chair with a beautiful figure leaning against it.
The figure was holding a crystal cup, smiling at him with a gentle and alluring gaze.
Su Jingzhen’s expression suddenly froze, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
“This… Could it be that I’m too concerned about that woman, and now I’m seeing hallucinations?”
As he rubbed his eyes, Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
But when he opened his eyes again, he still saw Feng Qingya sitting in the chair, smiling at him.
That smile contained a hint of flirtation.
“Master Su, it’s only been a few days, and you can’t recognize Qingya?”
Su Jingzhen still had a stunned expression.
Feng Qingya’s mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile.
This sentence made Su Jingzhen’s expression shock again.
He confirmed that he wasn’t seeing hallucinations, but he couldn’t understand why Feng Qingya would appear in Linjiang City.
In his view, the Qingya Manor had already been established, and Feng Qingya had returned to her former position, even surpassing her previous status.
In Yunmeng City, she would be able to develop even further, and when her cultivation reached a higher level, she could directly take over the Yunmeng City Treasure Gathering Pavilion, which would be a natural progression.
Because of the Evil Moon Sect’s existence, Linjiang City, despite having a certain development potential, was still no match for the already established Yunmeng City.
So, Su Jingzhen really couldn’t understand why Feng Qingya would be here.
He directly asked, “Miss Feng, are you just passing by or have you returned to take over the Pavilion again?”
Feng Qingya had already anticipated Su Jingzhen’s question and chuckled.
“Qingya has already sat in this position again. Isn’t this obvious enough to Master Su?”
Su Jingzhen still didn’t understand: “But why?”
Feng Qingya’s eyes sparkled with mischief: “If someone else asked, perhaps Qingya would give a different answer.
But since Master Su asked, then it’s because Qingya wants to get closer to you, to observe you more closely.”
