Chapter 1438: Marital Relations

When Jiang Qinge's icy voice rang out, countless gazes in the area instantly turned astonished.

"That's Jiang Qinge of the Holy Light Ancient Academy!"

"I've long heard that the Holy Light Ancient Academy produced a Holy Light Goddess—sacred, pure, and unmatched in beauty. Now that I've seen her, the reputation is truly deserved."

"She actually stepped in to help? What's her relationship with that kid?"

"......"

Originally, Lv Ruyan's appearance had already drawn much attention here, and now Jiang Qinge's sudden appearance made the area where the Holy Light Academy of Outer Shenzhou was located the focal point of the scene.

Moreover, Jiang Qinge's intervention was directed straight at Lv Ruyan!

After all, both are among the "Eighteen Heroes," heavenly pride figures with immense popularity, so their sudden clash naturally draws attention.

This is practically a preview of the "Heavenly Mirror Martial Discourse."

Thus, even on the Inner Shenzhou platform in the inner circle, many weighty gazes were cast upon it.

On a massive cyan wood platform at the very center, a figure stood embraced by the stars like the moon surrounded by constellations—a tall, imposing man.

He had a heroic visage, sword-like brows, and eyes that flowed with an oppressive light, while his body radiated halos of light, adding a dazzling brilliance.

Many beautiful young women around cast glances filled with strange colors, their eyes brimming with admiration.

Not only women, but even some male heavenly pride figures nearby cast admiring, reverent looks at him.

Because his name is Di Mingxuan.

He is the Marquis of Light, and also the leader of the Eighteen Heroes.

At this moment, Di Mingxuan was also watching the sudden appearance of that stunning figure from the outskirts, and said in surprise: "Jiang Qinge actually made a move?"

Among the many top heavenly pride figures in this Heavenly Mirror Tower event, Di Mingxuan paid special attention to Jiang Qinge, and had even previously taken the initiative to contact her.

After all, Jiang Qinge's outstanding talent and excellence were such that her radiance made many ordinary men feel ashamed and lacking the courage to stand before her, yet at the same time, this brilliance drew many confident heavenly pride figures of the opposite sex to her like moths to a flame.

This is perfectly normal—a dazzling halo always draws pursuit.

In these past few months, since Jiang Qinge rose to prominence in the Heavenly Mirror Tower and blossomed with radiance, countless people, regardless of gender, have been captivated by her.

Di Mingxuan is no exception to this, but his thoughts are more complex, for while he admires Jiang Qinge, he also harbors a hint of apprehension toward her.

This apprehension stems from the fact that both walk the path of Light.

And Jiang Qinge's talent surpasses his; although he currently does not fear her, if she continues advancing on the Unparalleled Path, he, the Marquis of Light, may truly be unable to retain his title.

This is not to say Jiang Qinge will come to seize his title, but when one day she truly surpasses him, even he himself would dare not speak of the Marquis of Light's reputation again.

Thus, Di Mingxuan has been closely watching Jiang Qinge, holding this complex mix of admiration and apprehension.

"It seems that youth and she have an unusual relationship." Beside Di Mingxuan stood a woman with fiery red hair, skin as white as Bai Xi, and a face like the bright moon. She glanced at Di Mingxuan, then spoke with deep meaning.

The woman's name is Zhen Yan, a senior instructor of the Holy Yang Ancient Academy, whose talent and strength are not weak. Though she failed to enter the Eighteen Heroes, she has already stepped into the Marquis Realm of Seven Pin.

Zhen Yan enjoys considerable fame in the Holy Yang Ancient Academy, with many admirers, but her standards are extremely high—she only admires Di Mingxuan, causing many instructors in the academy to feel dimmed and disheartened.

Upon hearing this, Di Mingxuan merely smiled and said nothing, though his gaze did shift to Li Luo's position, then lingered on the two Ten-Pillar Gold Platforms above his head.

"Unparalleled Second Pin—what astonishing talent and potential, and yet another mountain tiger borrowing the name of the Holy Academy of Outer Shenzhou." Di Mingxuan said slowly.

He did not look down on Li Luo just because he bore the name of the Holy Academy of Outer Shenzhou, for the Unparalleled Second Pin alone is enough to make anyone in the Heavenly Mirror Tower dare not underestimate him.

For everyone knows that at the Second Pin Marquis Realm, casting two Ten-Pillar Gold Platforms is already an astonishing display of talent and potential.

Even he, the so-called Marquis of Light, now having entered the Fifth Pin Marquis Realm, has only managed to cast two Ten-Pillar Gold Platforms.

Judging by the completeness of the Unparalleled Path, this young man named Li Luo has greater potential than he does.

Zhen Yan comforted: "Unparalleled Second Pin is indeed no easy feat, but that doesn't mean he can go further on the Unparalleled Path—perhaps this third Marquis Platform will break the perfection."

This is not her speaking nonsense; the forging of Ten-Pillar Gold Platforms consumes immense potential, and in the history of the Holy Yang Ancient Academy, there have indeed been such stunningly perfect heavenly pride figures in the past, yet few of them ultimately walked the Unparalleled Path.

The Unparalleled Marquis is the first path beneath the Heavenly King, but also the first difficulty.

Di Mingxuan gave a light smile, said nothing more, then turned his gaze toward Jiang Qinge's figure, his eyes deep with unreserved admiration and a hint of profound depth not easily noticed.

Under the gaze of all factions, Jiang Qinge descended bathed in light.

Her exquisite countenance, under the flowing light, appeared sacred and exquisite, her deep golden eyes radiating unique charm, making her seem like a Holy Light Goddess—sacred and mysterious.

Her hair was bound into a high ponytail, and a Holy Thorn Crown was placed among her strands, giving her a spirited bearing while adding a touch of dignity.

The instructor's robes of the Holy Light Ancient Academy were embroidered with gold thread tracing exquisite patterns, simultaneously outlining delicate, slender curves, while her domineering legs, wrapped in long trousers, appeared extremely slender and straight.

Countless gazes marveled at that perfect figure.

"Jiang Qinge, we have no grudges between us—why interfere in my affairs?" Lv Ruyan's charming smile on her lovely face vanished at this moment; she stared at Jiang Qinge, somewhat annoyed, and spoke.

Jiang Qinge said softly: "You don't know—I also came out of this Holy Academy, do you?"

Lv Ruyan furrowed her brows—who would know this? After all, Jiang Qinge participated in the Heavenly Mirror Tower under the name of the Holy Light Ancient Academy.

"And..."

Jiang Qinge's eyes flashed with icy color as she said: "Before, there was no grudge, but after you moved against him, this grudge came into being."

Upon hearing this, Lv Ruyan froze, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Li Luo, then at Jiang Qinge, and frowned: "What's your relationship with him?"

Jiang Qinge paused, wanting to speak, but worried she might cause trouble for Li Luo, so she turned her gaze to him, and he responded with a smile.

Jiang Qinge understood instantly, a faint smile touching her lips, and without further concealment, she said directly: "Marital relationship—is that enough?"

The two are no longer merely engaged; they have become husband and wife in fact, and Jiang Qinge also does not wish to conceal this, for it is nothing shameful.

As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar like a surging tide erupted, spreading outward like waves from this point.

Countless people stared, stunned to the extreme.

Even Lv Ruyan was stunned for several breaths, finding it hard to believe—Jiang Qinge, actually Li Luo's wife?!

What explosive information has she dropped?

Especially at the Holy Light Ancient Academy, many male heavenly pride figures felt their vision darken—Jiang Qinge has been here for months, relying on her talent and excellence to become their Holy Light Goddess in their hearts, but now, that goddess has publicly announced this shocking news.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Some shook their heads, refusing to accept this news, while suggesting they had merely hallucinated just now.

And at the Divine Yang Ancient Academy, the fifth Mingxuan's handsome face also showed a brief look of astonishment, and then his eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.

The boiling sound continued without cease.

Lv Ruyan also gradually came to her senses, her beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, and then she said meaningfully: "So that's how it is, then I really did offend you."

"But I am not targeting Li Luo; I merely wish to educate my useless younger sister."

"And since Li Luo and you are husband and wife, then he should not involve himself in our family affairs, otherwise, it would be improper, wouldn't it?"

Jiang Qinge glanced at the familiar graceful figure behind Li Luo, and calmly said: "I do not think there is anything improper about it; whatever he wishes to do, I will support him."

Lv Ruyan raised her eyebrows slightly, still wanting to speak, but Lv Lu Qinger, who stood behind Li Luo, then stepped forward slowly.

At this moment, her eyes became extremely icy blue, and an indescribable terrifying chill emanated from within her body, as if an extreme cold world were about to surge forth.

Lv Lu Qinger's eyes, frozen to the extreme, stared at Lv Ruyan and said: "Lv Ruyan, if you do not wish to even have the strength to crawl into the Heaven Mirror Tower, I advise you to keep silent."

Lv Ruyan's pupils contracted slightly, her gaze equally cold as she met Lv Lu Qinger: "What a big mouth you have!"

Yet in her heart, a nameless unease arose, for at this moment, Lv Lu Qinger made her feel a sense of danger.

"This is, the Holy Seed of Ice!"

Lv Ruyan clenched her five fingers tightly, her heart filled with gloom; as a member of the Lv lineage, she clearly understood this power.

But how could Lv Lu Qinger possibly wield such power?

Is she borrowing the tiger's might?

Lv Ruyan's eyes flickered, and finally she slowly loosened her five fingers; there was no need to gamble here, if she truly were to stake her life and remain in the Heaven Mirror Tower before its opening, that would indeed be a loss.

Thus, she let out a cold snort, flicked her sleeve, turned, and left directly.

"Lv Lu Qinger, you wait!"
