2181 Appearance of Mo Qing
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Just as the True Essence palm was about to descend on Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo’s heads, it was suddenly covered by a layer of frost.
In the blink of an eye, it froze into ice and stopped in midair.
Xiao Li’s expression changed starkly!
The cold qi spread rapidly along his True Essence to his arm.
A layer of bone-chilling ice crystals formed on his entire arm and the bloodline in his arm froze instantly!
What was even more frightening was that the cold aura did not show any signs of stopping and followed his arm, wanting to engulf his entire body.
“Ah!”
Xiao Li growled and retreated. A ball of light shone behind his head as he channeled his Dao Fruit and all the True Essence in his body surged towards his frozen arm!
Boom!
The ice on Xiao Li’s arm shattered and he was out of danger.
However, Xiao Li’s expression turned extremely terrible and pale. His body trembled slightly and every breath he took was filled with cold air—it was clear that he was injured.
Right then, everyone realized that a snow-white butterfly had flown out of nowhere and was dancing around Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo on the Sword Discourse Arena.
Most of the outer sect disciples did not know the origin of the butterfly.
However, Xiao Li and the other legacy disciples frowned.
“Mmm?”
Even Sword Immortal Yue Hua who was standing on the clouds and seemed like he was not involved the entire time had a change in expression. He glanced sideways in the direction of the Sword Discourse Arena.
“Little Butterfly, where did you go?”
Right then, the voice of a woman sounded from afar. It was gentle and charming with a hint of anxiety and worry.
When he heard that voice, the sharpness of Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s body suddenly lessened and a gentle look appeared in his eyes.
Before long, a graceful woman in a long dress strode over. Her black hair was tied into a bun. Although she wore light makeup, her beautiful eyes were extremely moving and sparkled with every glance.
The moment the woman appeared, the clamor of the outer sect quietened down.
Almost everyone’s gazes were attracted by this woman!
Just by standing in midair, it was as though she was one with the surrounding mountains, rivers and plants, forming an ancient ink painting with a distant intent that was natural.
Many cultivators forgot to breathe and did not dare to speak.
It was as though anyone who made a single sound would break the mental state before them and destroy the beautiful painting.
Painting Immortal, Mo Qing!
Su Zimo had seen Fairy Mo Qing once during the Immortal Sect Selection.
But now that he was seeing Fairy Mo Qing for the second time, he still felt a sense of amazement.
In terms of looks alone, Fairy Mo Qing might not be the most beautiful woman he had ever met. At the very least, she could not compare to Consort Yu.
However, Fairy Mo Qing exuded a unique aura that made one’s heart flutter.
Her existence was a perfect painting to begin with.
Actually, when he saw the snow-white butterfly appear, Su Zimo had already guessed that Fairy Mo Qing should be nearby.
In everyone’s eyes, the Ice Butterfly seemed to be dancing around Yang Ruoxu.
However, in reality, Yang Ruoxu was standing together with Su Zimo.
Su Zimo had a feeling that the appearance of the Ice Butterfly seemed to be because of him.
“Junior sister, why are you here?”
Sword Immortal Yue Hua moved and welcomed her with a smile.
“Senior Brother Yue Hua.”
Fairy Mo Qing nodded slightly and said, “For some reason, Little Butterfly suddenly ran out. I was worried that it would get into trouble, so I chased after it.”
“Junior Brother Xiao, is your arm alright?”
Fairy Mo Qing looked at Xiao Li who was not far away and asked softly.
“I-It’s fine,”
Xiao Li glanced at Sword Immortal Yue Hua and chuckled dryly.
Fairy Mo Qing’s gaze landed on the Ice Butterfly on the Sword Discourse Arena. She frowned slightly and chided softly, “Little Butterfly, you’re injuring people recklessly again. What are you waiting for, come on back.”
All the legacy disciples of the academy knew that this Ice Butterfly was Fairy Mo Qing’s immortal pet.
Usually, it would not leave Fairy Mo Qing’s side and would only listen to her.
The strange thing was that when it heard Fairy Mo Qing’s summon today, the Ice Butterfly did not return immediately and continued flying around Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo.
When he saw that, a dark look flashed through the depths of Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s eyes.
At that moment, Fairy Mo Qing noticed Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo as well and discovered the abnormality of the situation.
“What happened here?”
Fairy Mo Qing asked.
Elder Jian coughed gently. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a chilling intent like a sharp sword hovering around his neck and could not help but shudder.
His gaze shifted to Sword Immortal Yue Hua who was in midair.
...
Sword Immortal Yue Hua was expressionless and remained silent, merely glancing at him indifferently.
However, with that single glance, Elder Jian knew that Sword Immortal Yue Hua was warning him!
Although he was an inner sect Disciplinary Elder, be it in terms of cultivation or status, he was far inferior to Sword Immortal Yue Hua.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua was one of the top three legacy disciples of the academy!
Elder Jian sighed internally and remained silent.
When Xiao Li saw Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s expression, he understood and smiled. “Senior Sister Mo Qing, it’s nothing much. It’s just a small conflict between the outer sect disciples. They can handle it themselves.”
“Oh.”
Fairy Mo Qing nodded.
Su Zimo looked at Yang Ruoxu.
At that moment, Yang Ruoxu lowered his head and remained silent. In fact, he did not even look at Fairy Mo Qing, as though he had no intention of defending himself.
Su Zimo was puzzled.
...
The appearance of Fairy Mo Qing was Yang Ruoxu’s only chance—why did he not defend himself?
Before long, Su Zimo thought of something and was enlightened.
There were already many rumors between Yang Ruoxu and Fairy Mo Qing.
At that moment, if Yang Ruoxu were to stand out and defend himself and seek help from Fairy Mo Qing, it would be difficult to explain things between the two of them and the rumors would spread further.
The reason why Yang Ruoxu remained silent was because he was worried about Fairy Mo Qing’s reputation!
Anyone could speak up for this matter except Yang Ruoxu!
At that thought, Su Zimo stood out.
Everyone else was stunned by the might of Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the others and did not dare to say anything, worried that they would offend the legacy disciples. However, Su Zimo was not afraid!
Since Yang Ruoxu helped him with this matter, he would definitely not let Yang Ruoxu endure the pressure of Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the others alone.
Furthermore, there was already a conflict between him and Sword Immortal Yue Hua since a long time ago.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Mo Qing,”
Su Zimo cupped his fists and said loudly, “I was the cause of this matter. Initially…”
Under the murderous gazes of Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Xiao Li and the others, Su Zimo recounted the entire incident fearlessly.
The more Xiao Li and the others listened, the uglier their expressions became.
The few of them wished that they could cripple Su Zimo right away.
However, with Fairy Mo Qing present, no one could attack.
Even Sword Immortal Yue Hua began to retract his sharpness.
Fairy Mo Qing looked at Su Zimo on the Sword Discourse Arena and gradually recalled that this green-robed scholar was the cultivator she saved from the Immortal Sect Selection a thousand years ago.
‘This person sure is bold. He even dares to stand out and tell the truth despite being under the pressure of Senior Brother Yue Hua and the others,’
Although Fairy Mo Qing’s expression was indifferent, she praised internally.
