Chapter 127: Brother, Who Are You Choosing Tonight!
"Sigh." Qin Miaoyin let out a sigh: "Since you have already met Elder Chen, you must know that the Baiyun Sect is currently rallying various sects to crusade against the Tianwu Sect."
"That is so." Jiang Xun nodded.
"Seven days ago, our sect's Great Elder Liu took Elder Zhang and Elder Cui to the Wushang Pavilion, but we have yet to receive any news from them. Coupled with the sect rankings, we just became the fourth-ranked sect."
"So my Master deduced that Great Elder Liu and Great Elder Chen and the others might have been killed. The sect suffered a great loss, which is why our ranking dropped."
"When did Elder Chen and the others leave?" Qin Miaoyin asked next.
"They left almost three days ago, I think," Jiang Xun said after a moment of thought.
In reality, Chen Mo and the other two had left less than two hours ago.
"Then, is your Lingerie-Sect third now?" Qin Miaoyin asked.
"I don't know. I only thought to come and ask you because Chen Mo and the others came to the Lingerie-Sect, wondering if something happened to the Baiyun Sect."
Jiang Xun answered very naturally.
He also felt more confident inside; it turned out that not only had Chen Mo and the others met with misfortune, but those who went to the Wushang Pavilion had also met with misfortune, which was what caused the Lingerie-Sect's ranking to rise.
"Then, did you all agree to Great Elder Chen?"
Qin Miaoyin nodded, then asked.
"We didn't agree." Jiang Xun shook his head: "It was my Master who wouldn't agree; I don't know why."
Since he had already lied, Jiang Xun could only continue to lie.
It seemed that among the women he had, only Qin Miaoyin was constantly being deceived by him.
Although he felt a bit guilty, there was no room to take back words once they were spoken.
"This..." Qin Miaoyin was also at a loss for words upon hearing this.
"There's no help for it, I have to listen to my Master." Jiang Xun sighed: "Besides, I personally feel that the Baiyun Sect doesn't have much of a chance of winning this time. Miaoyin, why don't I go to the Baiyun Sect and pick you up?"
"Ah?" Qin Miaoyin was stunned upon hearing this.
"Ah what? What if you get hurt, or something happens? What would we do then?" Jiang Xun said softly.
Only then did Qin Miaoyin notice that Jiang Xun's voice seemed to have changed quite a bit; "Your voice..."
"I have broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and my body has become young again. We will meet tonight, and I will let you see." Jiang Xun laughed.
"Spirit Transformation Stage? So fast!?" Qin Miaoyin was also startled upon hearing this.
When she and Jiang Xun met in the Jade Pendant, Jiang Xun was only at the Golden Core stage. Now, about a month had passed, and Jiang Xun had gone from Golden Core to Spirit Transformation?
What kind of terrifying cultivation speed was this?
"Let's talk about business first. I'm serious, I'll go pick you up, you come to our Lingerie-Sect first." Jiang Xun steered the conversation back.
"... Let me consider it?" Qin Miaoyin said after a moment of silence: "Aren't we meeting tonight? I'll give you an answer after we meet?"
"Good." Jiang Xun nodded: "I have some things to attend to on my end, let's meet tonight."
"Mm-hmm." Qin Miaoyin nodded.
The two then cut off the connection.
After Jiang Xun returned, he conveyed the news to everyone that the people the Baiyun Sect sent to the Wushang Pavilion had also not returned.
After hearing this, everyone's reactions were much the same.
"It seems the Wushang Pavilion is truly standing on the side of the Tianwu Sect. Those who went to the Wushang Pavilion didn't return either, and they are already dead."
Tu Qing said.
As for where Jiang Xun got this information, none of them asked.
"Is it really the Wushang Pavilion that did it?" Gu Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Who knows? Although we are only suspicious, it is nine times out of ten the Wushang Pavilion. But just like how we killed Chen Mo and the others, even if they can guess it was us, they have no evidence."
Zhong Lingqing said.
"As long as we aren't caught with solid evidence, no matter how much anyone talks, they can't do anything to us or the Wushang Pavilion."
Yin Ningyu also nodded.
"Is there any news from Tu Wan?"
Tu Qing looked at Jiang Xun and asked.
"I received a transmission from Tu Wan by chance while pursuing someone. She wasn't willing to say, but I feel that the Tianwu Sect and the Wushang Pavilion should have contact. I proposed a trade to her, but I haven't received a new reply yet."
Jiang Xun looked at Tu Qing and said.
"I just have a feeling something big is going to happen..."
Lin Qingwan shivered all over.
From the time Jiang Xun returned until now, Lin Qingwan had been completely confused by the topics they were discussing.
She couldn't understand, couldn't understand at all.
What Wushang Pavilion, what Chen Mo, what evidence?
Huh???
It made sense; Lin Qingwan was currently staying here with Jiang Xun, while other disciples had received notices about potential relocation or a great battle. The entire Lingerie-Sect was notified, except for Lin Qingwan.
"Then let's follow the original plan, continue waiting for Tu Wan's reply, and remain vigilant?" Tu Qing said, looking at Zhong Lingqing.
Zhong Lingqing should still have experience in these matters.
"At the same time, now that we have become the third-ranked sect, I think other sects will successively send people to persuade us to join the crusade against the Tianwu Sect. The Baiyun Sect might even send someone again, ostensibly to persuade us to join the crusade, but in reality, to investigate the truth behind the deaths of Chen Mo and the others. We must be on guard."
Seeing this, Zhong Lingqing looked at Tu Qing and said.
Tu Qing also nodded upon hearing this.
Sure enough, Zhong Lingqing's brain was still better than hers.
"Then that's it, let's disperse for now."
Tu Qing nodded and said.
"Very well."
The crowd also responded in unison.
Zhong Lingqing then left directly, Hou Rui followed closely behind, and Liu Ruoyun left after a moment of hesitation.
Hua Bairui also walked toward her own small cabin, but halfway there, she realized something was not quite right...
Turning her head back, she saw that the four women—Yin Ningyu, Gu Qing, Tu Qing, and Lin Qingwan—were still standing beside Jiang Xun, and none of them looked like they intended to leave...
"What is going on here?" Hua Bairui asked, somewhat puzzled.
Then she saw Lin Qingwan tactfully walk out of the courtyard and come to Hua Bairui's side.
"Why did you come over? Why aren't they leaving? Didn't we disperse?" Hua Bairui asked.
"Elder Jiang has become younger, and those few all want to be with Elder Jiang..." Lin Qingwan said, clapping her hands and revealing a helpless expression.
She wanted to as well, but she knew she certainly couldn't compete with those three, so it was better to leave first.
Seeing this, Hua Bairui's face turned red; having heard the commotion next door often, Hua Bairui also knew what Lin Qingwan's words and gestures meant, so she hurriedly turned her head and ran back into her own small cabin.
"Ahem... are you all not going back yet?"
A moment later, Tu Qing said with a dry cough.
"I live here," Yin Ningyu said with a smile.
"I, I still have things I want to discuss with Master," Gu Qing said, quietly moving a few steps closer to Jiang Xun's side.
"You live next door," Tu Qing said, pointing to the small cabin next door while looking at Yin Ningyu.
"My, my bathtub is broken, I need to take a bath at Jiang Xun's place," Yin Ningyu also moved a few steps closer to Jiang Xun's side.
Jiang Xun, who was in the center of the three, could even feel that sparks were about to fly between them, and of course, he knew what they wanted to do.
"... Senior Brother! You choose!"
Hearing this, Tu Qing simply looked at Jiang Xun; after all, they were all very clear about what the others wanted!
