Chapter 123: That Glimpse of Charm

After Ke Zhenhai finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.

Regardless of feelings, whether it's that group of people or the demons, they brought it upon themselves.

If someone bullies you, our Tianyuan Sect disciples come, calling it punishing evil and promoting good; you cause trouble yourselves, we come... to negotiate?

Ke Zhenhai gave an embarrassed laugh: "Indeed we also have some impropriety, but things have come to this, we are helpless,

Actually the two demons are fine, just playing tricks; that group of people is utterly wicked, the city has already seen nearly a thousand civilian casualties.

Countless girls and boys have been abducted; please, senior brother and fellow Tianyuan Sect disciples, uphold justice!"

Song Rufeng stroked his beard: "Those bandits should naturally be driven away, and as for the demon race, killing them on sight is the ironclad rule of the major sects; Junior Brother Ke, rest assured!"

"Yes!" Ke Zhenhai wiped his sweat.

Lin Shuyu suddenly asked: "Those two demons came because they heard your mansion has a spiritual vein underground, right?"

"Exactly!" Ke Zhenhai nodded.

Song Rufeng said calmly: "The matter is clear; we will temporarily stay at the mansion, awaiting the arrival of those two demons."

If those bandits come, we'll deal with them as well!

Ke Zhenhai was overjoyed, quickly rose and bowed: "Thank you, senior brother and fellow disciples!"

The Ke family members behind also bowed in turn.

Immediately, a lavish banquet was set up in the bright hall, with Ke Zhenhai and the Ke family elders and direct descendants personally accompanying.

Although the family was very enthusiastic and the banquet extremely lavish, Song Rufeng and the Tianyuan Sect disciples remained indifferent.

It wasn't entirely due to the senior sect disciples putting on airs; mainly the food and drink were vulgar and couldn't compare to the Tianyuan Sect's ingredients, and besides, they had nothing to talk about.

After eating a bit casually, the sky had already turned pitch black.

Elder Song Rufeng was invited by Ke Zhenhai to reside in the main mansion, while Heng Xian, Lin Shuyu, Ma Buying and a group of disciples were arranged to stay in Ke Mansion's most precious annex.

Heng Xian entered his private room, looked around; the room was clean and tidy, with bedding, copper mirror, and screen all present.

It was much like his own room back home in Donglan City.

Just then, a knocking came from outside, and a soft, pleasant voice said: "Sir, we've brought hot water."

Heng Xian glanced at the door: "No problem, come in!"

"Creak—"

The door was pushed open, and three fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girls, deliberately dressed up, walked in carrying a large bucket of hot water and bathing supplies.

One of the girls, her face slightly red, timidly asked: "Sir, where would you like us to put this?"

"Anywhere is fine." Heng Xian said.

The three girls placed the water in the middle of the room and then stood aside, motionless.

Heng Xian wondered: "Anything else?"

The three girls' faces flushed crimson: "We can help you bathe and warm your bed."

Heng Xian was startled; upon closer look, the three girls were at the innate fourth or fifth layer, which is quite talented for a small local clan, not like servants, and he asked: "Are you Ke family daughters?"

The three girls replied: "We are Ke family concubine daughters!"

Heng Xian rubbed his nose; Ke Zhenhai sure knows how to play, sending his family's daughters to accompany the senior sect disciples to cultivate feelings?

So shameless, what a talent!

Too bad, I'm really not in the mood; he waved his hand: "Go on, no need!"

The three girls felt both disappointed and relieved, performed a salute, turned and left; one lingered behind, hesitated a moment, wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

The door was gently closed.

After rushing for three days, Heng Xian had long felt uncomfortable; he quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the hot water—how comfortable!

While washing and looking around, he couldn't help thinking: If my talent is limited, and I someday return to secular life from the sect, might I also go back to Donglan City to become a city lord or prefect?

By then I'll definitely need to find a wife.

Ji Yaoyue is not bad—she has a great figure, lovely looks, and an excellent background.

The saying goes about overturning the rich, beautiful princess.

But for some reason I also thought of Xie Lingyu that girl.

Then the image shifted, and Lin Shuyu popped into my mind again.

Speaking honestly, if I had to say what type I appreciate most, it's still someone like Senior Sister Lin Shuyu.

Her appearance even slightly surpasses Ji Yaoyue's, her figure is beyond compare, and having seen her, the most important thing is that she's very reliable.

Suck—

I've been thinking too much.

Just then, the door was knocked on again.

"Who?" Heng Xian asked.

"Me!" came Ma Buying's sneaky voice from outside.

"Just a moment!" Heng Xian leapt out of the wooden tub, scrubbed himself, put on his clothes, opened the door and saw that Ma Buying was also soaking wet.

Seeing him open the door, Ma Buying darted into the room and shut it: "I thought you had slept with the Ke family girls; if I hadn't heard no sound inside, I wouldn't have dared to knock on your door!"

Heng Xian said: "Did every member of the Ke family send their daughters over?"

Ma Buying grinned: "That's for sure; the male disciples each got sent a few concubine daughters."

Heng Xian rubbed his nose: "How come you didn't sleep?"

Ma Buying laughed: "Nobody would sleep; sleeping would not only ruin one's reputation but also incur a debt to the Ke family."

When the daughters lose their purity, what then? Force them on you to take away—where to take them? To the sect, directly securing an outer disciple quota—this plump uncle is quite shrewd!

Heng Xian nodded: "Makes sense; so why have you come to me now? I'm not going gambling, I'm not in the mood."

Ma Buying rubbed his hands, a glint flashing in his eyes, leaned close to Heng Xian's ear, and muttered something quietly.

Heng Xian blinked: "This... is it appropriate?"

Ma Buying continued rubbing his hands: "Being idle is being idle; if you don't go up, I will."

"Go!" Heng Xian nodded.

The two immediately lightened their steps, pushed open the rear window, and jumped out.

In a few flashes, they reached a room; each bent over, poked the paper window with a finger, and peered inside.

In the room, mist rose; a graceful figure had already donned a pleated garment, was wiping her hair, and a pair of straight legs dotted with water droplets stirred the imagination.

It was Xiao Qiyun.

Fairly speaking, although she bears a grudge against Heng Xian, this woman's appearance and figure are quite charming.

"Hehe..." Ma Buying turned his head, lowered his voice: "How about it? How about it? Fellow sect junior sister, isn't she much more interesting than those vulgar girls outside?"

Heng Xian frowned: "They've already washed up, damn it, what's the point?"

Ma Buying chuckled: "There's another top-notch one; I'll take you there, let's go!"

The two flickered and vanished from the spot.

Inside, Xiao Qiyun frowned slightly, threw on her clothes, walked to the window, opened it to look out, saw no one, and let out a breath of relief.

Meanwhile, Heng Xian and his companion had already reached the back of another room.

Inside the room, a faint sound of splashing water could be heard.

Heng Xian tugged at Ma Buying: "If it's Lin Shuyu, let's not look, okay?"

Ma Buying blinked: "Don't worry! Junior Sister Lin is my goddess, and the goddess of many in the sect—pure and immaculate, not to be defiled; there's someone else in the room!"

Heng Xian rubbed his nose: "Alright."

The two darted like the wind to the rear window, followed the same method, poked open a small hole, and peered inside.

Upon seeing this, their pupils contracted, pores burst open, and blood rushed to their heads.

Inside, they saw none other than the silent and taciturn Senior Sister Tong Quezi from Little Pine Peak.
