Chapter 34: You Are Disciples of the Joyous Union Sect, Aren't You!

"Miss Tu Wan, are you not here specifically to look for trouble with this old man?"

Jiang Xun, "not letting the matter rest," narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tu Wan and said.

"It's a misunderstanding!"

A Hong said immediately.

With a wave of his hand, the whip and white cloth that Liu Ruoyun and Tu Wan were entangled in separated.

"Senior, it's a misunderstanding! The Saintess mistakenly thought the treasury had been emptied, which is why she acted foolishly and disturbed you. Please, Senior, forgive her!"

A Hong, who had been high and mighty just a moment ago, hurriedly looked at Jiang Xun, cupped his hands, and said respectfully.

"A Hong!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Wan looked at A Hong: "How can our Tianwu Sect be so subservient to him! I am standing right here; let's see if he dares to touch a single finger of mine!"

"Saintess, say no more!" A Hong hurriedly looked at Tu Wan, his eyes even turning fierce.

It even gave Tu Wan a start.

At the same time, A Hong sent a voice transmission to Tu Wan: "Saintess, now that the treasury has been emptied, the eyes of those sect disciples will turn toward us. If he were just an old man, of course there would be nothing to fear, but if you die here and it is done by the joint effort of several sects, how would you expect the Sect Master to handle it!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Wan realized it belatedly and looked back at the main hall.

She saw that those sect disciples were all standing behind the main hall watching them.

It was likely that if this lecherous old man made a move, they would all swarm them.

"I won't make things difficult for you. Leave the Storage Rings, and you may go."

Jiang Xun said as he looked at the two.

A Hong did not hesitate at all; he threw his own Storage Ring directly to Jiang Xun, who caught it steadily.

"Saintess..."

Afterward, A Hong looked at Tu Wan and called out in a low voice.

Tu Wan gritted her teeth; although she was unwilling, she had no other choice.

This must be the price for her own impulsiveness!

Tu Wan took off her Storage Ring, threw it to Jiang Xun, and then prepared to leave.

The tiny bit of favorability she had gained for Jiang Xun in the main hall just now had also been cleared to zero.

"Wait."

Just as A Hong and Tu Wan were about to leave, they were called to a stop by Jiang Xun.

"Senior?" A Hong's brows furrowed tightly upon seeing this.

Could it be that this old thing was going back on his word?

A Hong immediately prepared for a desperate fight, at the very least to send the Saintess away.

"I was joking with you. I don't covet these Storage Rings; take them back."

Jiang Xun tossed the Storage Rings to Tu Wan.

Tu Wan caught the Storage Rings, looking completely bewildered with her brows tightly furrowed, staring at Jiang Xun with an expression as if looking at a fool.

"Are you..."

But she dared not say the final word, "sick."

"Go."

Jiang Xun did not wait for her to say more and waved his hand.

A Hong did not hesitate either and immediately dragged Tu Wan away.

【Ding, Storage Ring X2 successfully gifted!】

【Received return...】

The contents of the two Storage Rings that Jiang Xun had just given away had increased tenfold.

Seeing that Tu Wan and the others had left, Zhuo Yang and the others did not say much; they exchanged greetings and left directly.

Lin Feng and Lu Yingying bowed to Jiang Xun from afar and then left together.

Cao Zhangqing and Long Qingxin walked toward Jiang Xun, with Hua Bairui following behind.

"Senior, you just let those people from the Tianwu Sect go?"

Cao Zhangqing bowed first and then said.

"I couldn't be bothered to waste effort on them."

Jiang Xun nodded and smiled.

Cao Zhangqing was speechless upon hearing this, then said: "Thank you, Senior, for this time. If it weren't for you, not only would my Junior Sister be dead, but my own life would not have been saved either."

"It was just a small favor."

Jiang Xun looked at Long Qingxin, and Long Qingxin immediately spoke up: "If Senior has any need for help in the future, Qingxin will never refuse! There is a Communication Jade Tube in that Storage Ring; Senior can send a message to Qingxin at any time."

A Communication Jade Tube is a communication tool other than a Transmission Talisman.

As long as one attaches a bit of their divine sense to the Communication Jade Tube, it can become a tool for contact.

Whatever one says into the Communication Jade Tube can be transmitted directly to the corresponding Communication Jade Tube.

It can also be used to leave messages.

"Zhangqing will also not break his word. Afterward, I will definitely bring my Master to Shanyu Tower to pay a formal visit and express my gratitude, and at that time, I will bring more gifts for Senior as thanks."

Cao Zhangqing also said while cupping his hands.

"No need, no need. Do not come to Shanyu Tower to look for me; it would only add trouble."

Jiang Xun waved his hand; although he really wanted those gifts, he was not actually a person from Shanyu Tower.

"This..." Cao Zhangqing was stunned upon hearing this, seemingly sensing something, but he did not speak and only nodded: "Well, alright then."

"Senior is also welcome to visit Shushan as a guest. When that time comes, Qingxin will take Senior to have a good look around Shushan." Long Qingxin said as she took a token from her waist and handed it to Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun took a look; it was a Token from Mount Shu, with Long Qingxin's name engraved on it.

"With this Token, when Senior comes to Mount Shu, just show it, and disciples will naturally come to call for me."

Long Qingxin looked at Jiang Xun and smiled.

"Very well, I will go when I have time."

Jiang Xun nodded and accepted the Token.

"Then the two of us shall take our leave."

Cao Zhangqing said, and together with Long Qingxin, he cupped his fists and bowed.

Seeing Jiang Xun nod, they then departed.

"Senior." After Cao Zhangqing and the other left, Hua Bairui bowed to Jiang Xun.

"Miss Hua." Jiang Xun nodded.

"Senior, just calling me Bairui is fine; 'Miss Hua'... sounds a bit strange."

Hua Bairui looked at Jiang Xun, the corners of her mouth curling into a faint smile as she spoke.

For her, revealing this smile was already quite a strain.

Usually, she would not smile.

"Didn't Senior leave? Why are you still here?"

Hua Bairui subsequently asked.

"I am waiting for you."

Jiang Xun said.

Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun exchanged a glance upon hearing this, both seeing helplessness in the other's eyes.

"Waiting for me?"

Hua Bairui looked astonished.

"Take this."

Jiang Xun took out a Universe Bag and tossed it to Hua Bairui.

"Senior, this is?"

"Some supplies from the treasury; I helped you take a portion."

Jiang Xun smiled.

"I cannot accept this!"

Hua Bairui was stunned upon hearing this, then hurriedly held the Universe Bag up in front of Jiang Xun: "Bairui has already received Senior's favor; if not for Senior, I absolutely could not have entered Xuwang Hall, let alone survived after entering, so how could I take Senior's things!"

"It is also to form a good connection with Hua... with you, Bairui. Actually, we are not people from Shanyu Tower."

Jiang Xun pushed Hua Bairui's hand back and looked at her.

"I know..."

Hua Bairui said softly and nodded.

"You know?"

Jiang Xun was taken aback.

"The two of you are Great Elder Gu Qing and Elder Liu Ruoyun of the Lingerie-Sect, right?"

Hua Bairui looked at Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun and said.

She had found them familiar-looking all along, and later, seeing the cultivation technique and the feeling they used while regulating their breath in Xuwang Hall, she finally remembered.

"Oh, Sister Hua is still the same as before, ice-cold and intelligent, making people... annoyed."

Seeing her identity exposed, Liu Ruoyun stopped pretending and looked at Hua Bairui, speaking sarcastically.

"You are Great Elder Jiang Xun of the Lingerie-Sect... right?"

Hua Bairui ignored Liu Ruoyun and looked up at Jiang Xun.

"How did you know?"

Jiang Xun frowned, but nodded.

"I heard that Elder Jiang has a Natural Charm Bone, is handsome and dashing, but failed his Tribulation Transcendence some days ago and became aged... hence my deduction."

Hua Bairui would not tell him that it was because she felt a stir of emotion the moment she saw his face, and then, feeling it impossible that she could like an old man, she remembered the Jiang Xun with the Natural Charm Bone.
