Chapter 126: The Lingerie-Sect Becomes the Third-Largest Sect

After the three of them discussed it, they returned directly to the Lingerie-Sect, to Jiang Xun's small cottage.

But unexpectedly, when Jiang Xun returned, Tu Qing, Gu Qing, Liu Ruoyun, Ming Ning, Xie Leng, Hua Bairui, and Lin Qingwan were all in Jiang Xun's courtyard.

Even Ruo Lan was sitting on Jiang Xun's recliner, rocking it gently.

Upon seeing Jiang Xun, everyone revealed expressions of astonishment.

Xie Leng's expression did not fluctuate, her face remaining cold, and Ming Ning only revealed a hint of happiness in the depths of her eyes.

Ruo Lan, however, was full of joy.

When they saw someone undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, they had assumed it was Yin Ningyu, but later another wave of Heavenly Tribulation arrived.

After thinking it over, they felt it might be Jiang Xun who had broken through.

After all, it couldn't possibly be Yin Ningyu, right?

That was why they had all worriedly run over to Jiang Xun's cottage.

Upon arriving and finding Jiang Xun absent, they became even more certain it was him.

"Senior Brother! So it really was you undergoing Tribulation Transcendence!"

After Tu Qing reacted, she happily ran quickly to Jiang Xun's side, unable to resist taking Jiang Xun's hand and carefully examining his handsome face.

Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun also ran over, looking excited.

After all, they had come to the Lingerie-Sect in the first place for Jiang Xun's good looks!

"Ning Yu and I both underwent Tribulation Transcendence," Jiang Xun said with a smile, holding Tu Qing's hand.

Seeing the scene of Jiang Xun surrounded by a group of women, Yin Ningyu pursed her lips, feeling a bit sour inside, and couldn't help but look at Zhong Lingqing.

Zhong Lingqing also shifted her gaze away, feeling a bit guilty.

She had some vague guesses in her heart; Yin Ningyu was likely thinking: It's all your fault, Master. If you hadn't stopped me back then, perhaps Jiang Xun wouldn't be surrounded by so many women now...

But Yin Ningyu quickly changed her train of thought: Hmph, I was the first to see Jiang Xun change back; you bunch of little hussies have all lost to me!

"So handsome, Master!" Liu Ruoyun looked at Jiang Xun with stars in her eyes, wishing she could pluck her own eyeballs out and place them on Jiang Xun.

"Master, your hair?" Gu Qing reached out and gently cupped Jiang Xun's white hair: "Can it not change back?"

"Hair? It doesn't really matter, I think white is quite nice," Jiang Xun said with a smile, pinching Gu Qing's small cheek.

"Ah! I want that too!" Seeing this, Liu Ruoyun hurriedly thrust her own face in front of Jiang Xun; she was the only one who would openly compete for favor like that.

"Alright, alright," Jiang Xun nodded, and with his other hand, he gently pinched Liu Ruoyun's cheek.

Although Tu Qing was a bit jealous, she felt too embarrassed to compete for favor with two juniors.

"If you want to turn your hair black, I can dye it for you with flower sap; many disciples of the Baihua Sect use this method to dye their hair."

Yin Ningyu said, looking at Jiang Xun's back.

"Good, I actually quite like this white hair; when I want to change my hairstyle in the future, I will definitely tell you."

Jiang Xun turned his head to look at Yin Ningyu and said.

In such a chaotic situation, Jiang Xun had not ignored Yin Ningyu's words and had even responded attentively, which made Yin Ningyu quite happy.

After coaxing the few women, Jiang Xun paced over to Ruo Lan: "Master, you came too."

"You are much easier on the eyes like this," Ruo Lan slowly opened her beautiful eyes on the recliner, looked at Jiang Xun, and nodded.

"Then is Master willing to keep her promise now?" Jiang Xun teased upon hearing this.

Ruo Lan glared at Jiang Xun when she heard this: "In your dreams."

"Since you are fine, I am going back."

After saying this, Ruo Lan soared into the air and left Jiang Xun's small courtyard.

On the chair lay a purple soft sword.

That was the initiation gift Jiang Xun had returned to Ruo Lan when she was in seclusion, which he had used to trade for the Liu Hong Sword.

Jiang Xun was startled when he saw this.

Why was this Purple Soft Sword returned?

Is my Liu Hong Sword alright?

My Little Demoness is still inside it!

Jiang Xun hurriedly checked the System Space; fortunately, the Liu Hong Sword was still there.

It seems that as long as it is something Jiang Xun has obtained, it will not be taken back by the system.

Ming Ning and Xie Leng also said nothing and followed Ruo Lan as she left.

"Master... so Jiang... Senior Brother-in-law... Senior Mistress... Senior... uh, Jiang Xun was this handsome when he was young," Hua Bairui came to Yin Ningyu's side and whispered.

For a moment, she didn't know what was appropriate to call Jiang Xun.

"You can just call him Jiang Xun," Yin Ningyu couldn't help but find it amusing when she heard this. She knew full well that Hua Bairui also liked Jiang Xun, and probably liked him even more now; if she really made her call Jiang Xun 'Senior Brother-in-law' or something, it would truly be quite strange.

Not to mention whether Hua Bairui could accept it, she herself felt a bit uncomfortable with it.

"Compared to before, he has a bit more fortitude, as well as ruthlessness and decisiveness; his eyes used to be much gentler than they are now," Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun, inevitably recalling the Jiang Xun of the past.

Back then in Shuiyun City, even when Jiang Xun and his group were surrounded by the Baihua Sect first and the outcome was unclear, Jiang Xun had never thought of kidnapping civilians to escape.

But the current Jiang Xun could kill innocent civilians without hesitation; what could a person have experienced to become like this?

What exactly happened to Jiang Xun during these five hundred years?

Yin Ningyu couldn't help but feel curious about this.

"We've been promoted! Sect Master! Sect Master, our Lingerie-Sect is now the third-largest sect!"

Just at this moment, Hou Rui's voice came from the sky, and everyone who heard this news looked toward the air.

Hou Rui landed and ran excitedly to Jiang Xun; at this moment, Hou Rui was also at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

"Sect Master, the Immortal Mark in the Hehuan Hall has changed; our Lingerie-Sect is now the third-largest sect."

Hou Rui looked at Tu Qing excitedly and shouted.

The Immortal Mark is located inside the main hall of every sect, and the center of the mark displays a number; this number changes in real-time according to the sect's combat power.

"Third place?" Tu Qing was also startled upon hearing this.

"Hmm?" Zhong Lingqing frowned upon hearing this: "How could that be? Although we killed Chen Mo and two Elders, the strength of Baiyun Sect is still not to be underestimated, and they still have a Supreme Elder at the peak of the mid-stage Integration Realm; they shouldn't be surpassed by us so easily, right?"

"This, could it be that something else happened to Baiyun Sect?" Tu Qing nodded upon hearing this; her thoughts were the same as Zhong Lingqing's.

"Wait a moment, you two." Jiang Xun said upon hearing this, then flew to the side and took out the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant, holding it in his hand.

'Miaoyin?' In truth, he was worried about whether Tianwu Sect had made a move and wiped out Baiyun Sect a step ahead of them.

Wouldn't Qin Miaoyin be in danger then?

'I am here.' Fortunately, Qin Miaoyin's voice responded quickly, though her tone was somewhat dejected; it seemed something had indeed happened to Baiyun Sect: 'I was just about to ask you, have you seen Great Elder Chen Mo, Elder Zhang Yaozhi, and Elder Liu Chennian?'

'I have seen them, they left a long time ago.' Jiang Xun responded immediately: "What is wrong? Has something happened to your Baiyun Sect?"
