Chapter 72

Sighing inwardly, Ye Changqing looked at He Lu and said.

"Do you have business here?"

"Heh, Ye Changqing, stop pretending. You should know very well why I'm here."

"I have now been taken as a disciple by the Third Elder and am a direct disciple of the Luoxia Sect, while you are still just a chore disciple of the Dao Yi Sect."

"Do you think that with our current identities, there is any possibility left?"

"I'm only here to tell you not to have any illusions that shouldn't exist. We are no longer people from the same world."

"However, for the sake of our past relationship, as long as you agree to break off the engagement, I can let my Master come forward and grant you the status of a Divine Jianfeng outer disciple."

"With the friendship between my Master and Senior Until Hong Zun, this little matter is very simple. And you know very well the difference between an outer disciple and a chore disciple, so I believe you should know how to choose."

"Think about it carefully."

After rattling off a bunch of nonsense and even promising the status of a Divine Jianfeng outer disciple, Ye Changqing was stunned by how confident this woman was.

By the time Ye Changqing came to his senses, He Lu had already turned and left, as if staying here a moment longer made her feel sick.

Shaking his head speechlessly, an outer disciple? As long as he nodded, he could instantly become a direct disciple of Divine Jianfeng.

Promising him the status of an outer disciple left Ye Changqing between laughter and tears.

Moreover, he hadn't even said anything yet, and this woman was already certain he wouldn't want to break off the engagement?

Shaking his head, he stopped dwelling on it. He would just find an opportunity to break off this engagement; he didn't care at all.

He continued to enjoy the warm afternoon sun.

Meanwhile, at the summit of Divine Jianfeng, Until Hong Zun was chatting happily with an old woman.

The old woman was the Third Elder of the Luoxia Sect, and she could be considered of the same generation as Until Hong Zun.

They had known each other since they were young and were quite familiar with each other.

Furthermore, although the Luoxia Sect was not as good as the Dao Yi Sect, it was still a famous righteous immortal sect in the Eastern Continent, and the relationship between the two sides was good, with frequent exchanges.

"You old woman, coming to the Dao Yi Sect and not going to the main peak to find my Senior Brother, but coming to my Divine Jianfeng instead—what for?"

The old woman's name was Yu Li. Hearing Until Hong Zun's words, she replied with a smile.

"I didn't come for sect matters this time, but for a private matter."

"A private matter?"

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun's expression became somewhat strange. Looking at the old woman's face full of wrinkles, he didn't know why he felt uncomfortable.

"What private matter could you have with me?"

Until Hong Zun truly didn't want to have any private matters with this old woman. Not realizing the change in Until Hong Zun's heart, Yu Li continued to smile.

"I have taken in a new disciple named He Lu. Her talent is not bad, but she has had a marriage contract since childhood with a chore disciple of your Divine Jianfeng."

"However, my disciple doesn't like that person and begged me, this old woman, to come forward and break off this marriage. So, I had no choice but to make a trip myself."

She didn't hide anything. After all, in Yu Li's view, it was just a small chore disciple. Since she had personally spoken, would Until Hong Zun not give her this face?

While they were talking, He Lu, led by Facing Liu Shuang, happened to walk in.

Although He Lu was not bad-looking, compared to Facing Liu Shuang, she was clearly eclipsed; there was simply no comparison.

Even following behind Facing Liu Shuang, He Lu unconsciously lowered her head, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Facing Liu Shuang was the person He Lu had always wanted to become—that high and mighty fairy who could make countless people fall for her.

It was just that Facing Liu Shuang was cold and indifferent, and she hadn't said a few words to He Lu along the way. Bringing her before Until Hong Zun, Facing Liu Shuang bowed and saluted.

"Master."

Then she sat down on the side, looking like an outsider.

He Lu appeared somewhat constrained, but Until Hong Zun just nodded and turned to look at Yu Li.

"Since there has been a marriage contract since childhood, you old woman want to break it off. Why come to my Dao Yi Sect instead of going to their family?"

"This is, after all, a disciple of your Dao Yi Sect, so it's only right to give a heads-up in advance. As for that family, I will also go there personally."

What Yu Li cared about was only the Dao Yi Sect's attitude. As for the Ye family, what did it matter if they agreed or not?

In front of the Ye family, the Luoxia Sect was an unshakable behemoth, so there was no need to care about the Ye family's attitude.

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun nodded slightly and asked indifferently.

"I have no opinion on this matter. How about this: let my disciple accompany her on this trip."

Until Hong Zun didn't care about the chore disciple's affairs at all. Giving Yu Li face by letting Facing Liu Shuang accompany He Lu on the trip was already doing his utmost.

Hearing this, Yu Li smiled.

"That would be excellent. Disciple, why don't you thank Peak Master Until Hong Zun yet?"

"Many thanks, Peak Master Until Hong Zun. Sorry to trouble you, Senior Sister Liu."

He Lu also stood up very politely and thanked the two respectively.

To this, Facing Liu Shuang showed no reaction. If it weren't for her Master's order, she wouldn't have appeared here. Wouldn't it be better to cultivate well and go find Junior Brother Changqing at mealtime?

"Let's go."

Standing up directly and saying this to He Lu, she walked out first. Seeing this, He Lu not only dared not have the slightest dissatisfaction but even hurriedly caught up.

After the two left, Until Hong Zun and Yu Li chatted for a few more sentences. Seeing that Until Hong Zun didn't seem to welcome her too much, Yu Li took the initiative to speak.

"Come to think of it, I haven't visited Senior Brother Qi Xiong yet. Since I'm at the Dao Yi Sect, I should pay a visit. Senior Brother Until Hong Zun, I'll take my leave first. As for my disciple's matter, I'll trouble you, Senior Brother."

"Rest assured, with Facing Liu Shuang following, there will be no problem."

"Many thanks, Senior Brother."

Yu Li then took her leave. Until Hong Zun poured himself a drink and muttered with little interest.

"Is it not time for dinner yet?"

He was only thinking about eating. As for He Lu's matter, it was instantly thrown to the back of his mind. Whether the marriage was broken off or not, what did it have to do with an old man like him?

And that Yu Li, she was quite a nice girl when she was young. How did she become like this when she got old? The last time he saw her was fifty years ago; it seemed she didn't have so many wrinkles then. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
