In the Wanhua Peak,
Before Chen Changqing could even speak, a figure flew in.
Riding on the divine light sword, clad in a star-embellished sword robe, with eyes as sharp as an eagle's, long hair tied up high, and a sword-like brow and starry eyes.
Upon appearing on the Wanhua Peak, he caused many women to scream.
"Master!" Chen Changqing bowed and exclaimed.
"I wonder who it is, turns out to be Senior Chen," Liu Ruqing smiled and said.
Chen Chunyang, the Sword God!
The peak master of the Tianjian Peak and the second most powerful person in Xinghe Sect after the sect leader.
He usually stays on the Tianjian Peak and doesn't move around casually unless there is something important.
For this Wanhua Gathering, with his status, he didn't need to come.
However, he was called by Chen Changqing to support him.
"Junior sister, junior brother," Chen Chunyang said silently and landed from the sky, sitting on Liu Ruqing's right.
"Senior brother!" Ye Kong and Liu Ruqing exclaimed.
Ye Kong was on the left, Chen Chunyang on the right, with Liu Ruqing and Su Qingwan in between.
"Senior Chen, you usually immerse yourself in the sword dao and lead a reclusive life, leaving the big and small matters of the Tianjian Peak to Chen Changqing to manage. Why do you have time to come to our Wanhua Peak's Wanhua Gathering today?"
"Could it be that Senior Chen is also feeling lonely and wants to find a partner?" Liu Ruqing asked with a smile.
Chen Chunyang silently glanced at Liu Ruqing and saw the child in her arms, saying,
"I came because my disciple has something to do, and I came to help him. As for you, Junior Liu, when did you have a child?"
"He's not my child, but Ye Kong's junior servant," Liu Ruqing said.
Chen Chunyang glanced at Ye Kong without any emotion in his eyes.
When he looked at Xiao Bai, he unexpectedly noticed that Xiao Bai had extraordinary talent, reaching the seventh level of qi cultivation before turning ten.
This was a promising seedling.
"Junior Ye Kong, I see that this junior servant has good talent. How about giving him to me? I'll personally train him," Chen Chunyang said.
Ye Kong shook his head and chuckled, saying, "Senior Chen, you already have so many disciples. Why do you want to compete with me for a junior servant?"
Absolutely!
I won't go to your Tianjian Peak!
You're not a good person!
Xiao Bai nodded in agreement without saying anything.
He knew that he didn't have the strength now and couldn't defeat anyone.
"Forget it then," Chen Chunyang gave up.
He didn't come here to recruit disciples and didn't need to waste energy on a junior servant.
Liu Ruqing hugged Xiao Bai, fed him an orange, and then looked at Chen Changqing.
"So, Changqing nephew, who do you want to marry?" Liu Ruqing casually asked.
Chen Changqing shifted his gaze to Lin Yaoyao and slowly said, "Her, Lin Yaoyao."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The flower wine in Lin Yaoyao's hand even fell to the ground.
Even Ye Kong didn't expect Chen Changqing to have set his sights on his disciple.
But his disciple was indeed beautiful, so it was natural for Chen Changqing to have feelings for her.
Liu Ruqing watched the spectacle with a grin, looking at Lin Yaoyao.
"So, Lin Yaoyao, what do you say?" Liu Ruqing asked.
Lin Yaoyao said indifferently, "I don't have romantic feelings for him. I only want to serve my master on Xiaoyao Peak."
How dare you match me, Emperor?
If my power were still intact, I would suppress you with one slap.
Ye Kong smiled and said, "Although marriage is based on the voluntary consent of both the man and the woman, my disciple is still young and focused on cultivation. Matters of marriage can be discussed later."
Upon hearing their words, Chen Changqing gritted his teeth and looked at his master.
Chen Chunyang nodded slightly and said, "Junior Ye Kong, your disciple has reached the age of marriage and can choose a partner."
"Chen Changqing is not bad, and he's my true disciple."
Ye Kong looked at Lin Yaoyao and said, "My disciple doesn't want it, and I don't want anyone to force her."
Lin Yaoyao looked at her master and felt a little touched for some reason.
My master is so weak, but he's still defending me on stage.
Xiao Bai looked at his master and then at the people on both sides, suddenly feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Senior sister will be my maid in the future, not your useless disciple's partner.
I have to help Senior sister.
But I don't have the strength now, and my words don't seem to carry much weight...
Xiao Bai blinked and pointed at Lin Yaoyao.
Liu Ruqing immediately understood and looked up with a smile, saying, "Marriage is based on the mutual consent of the man and the woman. Since the disciple of Xiaoyao Peak doesn't want it, let's forget about it."
"I, the Little Sword God Chen Changqing, with yuan-baby cultivation and superb swordsmanship, am second only to the peak master. Lin Yaoyao, in what way am I unworthy of you?" Chen Changqing asked.
"He's just the peak master of an uninhabited peak. How can he compare to me?" Chen Changqing said, pointing at Ye Kong.
That's not right. He's just my disciple, not my partner.
Besides, I'm also a peak master.
Putting aside the peak master status, I've also reached over three thousand layers of qi cultivation.
Forget it, nephew. You're on the verge of rage, and I won't discourage you any further.
Ye Kong took a sip of wine and remained silent.
"How dare you compare yourself to my master?" Lin Yaoyao said coldly.
When I grow up, he will be my mentor, the emperor's teacher!
Second to none but one!
"How can I be inferior to that useless..."
"Slap!"
Chen Changqing hadn't finished speaking before Chen Chunyang slapped him.
"Be cautious with your words," Chen Chunyang said coldly.
Chen Changqing looked at Ye Kong with red eyes, thinking, You're just a waste, how can you compare to me?
Why do you deserve Lin Yaoyao?
Ye Kong felt helpless and almost wanted to say, Nephew, are you overthinking it?
"Chen Changqing, the principle of our Wanhua Gathering is based on mutual consent between the man and the woman, a couple for life, not on forcing each other!"
"Even if you are the Little Sword God, you have to follow the rules here," Liu Ruqing spoke up in defense.
She had intended to sit and watch the spectacle, but Xiao Bai pinched her hard, forcing her to say something.
Chen Changqing had a dark expression. He didn't dare to provoke Liu Ruqing and could only look at his master.
Chen Chunyang couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't just grab Lin Yaoyao by force in front of everyone.
He still had to uphold his reputation as the Sword God.
"Changqing, you need to prioritize. I understand that you want to find a partner, but you cannot force anyone," Chen Chunyang said.
Lin Yaoyao looked at Chen Changqing with indifference and murmured to herself, Fortunately, I made the right choice not to go to the Tianjian Peak.
What an annoying disciple. It would only be troublesome there.
It's better to be on Xiaoyao Peak, where it's peaceful and comfortable.
My master's power isn't that high, but I can make decisions on Xiaoyao Peak.
Lin Yaoyao increasingly felt that Xiaoyao Peak was the best.
"Lin Yaoyao, I'll ask you one last time. Do you think I, Chen Changqing, am unworthy of you?" Chen Changqing asked finally.
This was his last bit of courage.
"How dare you?" Lin Yaoyao and Ye Kong said almost simultaneously.
Originally, Ye Kong didn't want to interfere, but he saw that his disciple was annoyed, and Chen Changqing didn't respect him as a junior uncle.
So, he had to speak up and defend his disciple.
