Chapter 2110: Chapter 2110: Don’t Worry, He’ll Definitely Come!
In the Cangxuan Territory, although the major forces are generally divided into First to Fifth Grade, each grade is also split into various levels.
And this is even more obvious among the First Grade forces; the gap between them is relatively quite clear!
For example, the Jing Family belongs to the lower tier of First Grade forces, while the Heavenly Profound Sect where Qiu Chen resides is slightly above the middle tier.
As for the Piaomiao Sect that Su Chen is about to go to, that one counts as relatively upper tier!
As an upper-tier First Grade force, the Piaomiao Sect naturally has its own bearing. It sits atop a towering mountain range, and all the clusters of buildings stretching across the range belong to the Piaomiao Sect.
Especially those buildings on the main peak, thick and imposing, fully displaying the solid foundation of the Piaomiao Sect!
Over the past year or so, the Piaomiao Sect could be said to have experienced both joy and worry, as if going through a rather eventful season.
First, a Phoenix Maiden appeared in the Sect, which filled the entire Sect with excitement and hope!
Phoenix Bloodline—how rare is that!
That is Heaven’s gift to the Piaomiao Sect!
And the Phoenix Bloodline quickly revealed extraordinary talent; her cultivation speed left even the top geniuses in the Sect far behind in the dust!
Not to mention those within the Sect—even when compared with the most outstanding geniuses in the history of the Cangxuan Territory, she was in no way inferior!
Some major Realms would take even a genius several years and require opportunities to break through, yet for the Phoenix Maiden, it was as easy as eating or drinking. Often in just two or three months she would casually break through!
This truly shocked everyone, especially after they learned that the Phoenix Maiden had only been cultivating for two or three years; they felt utterly shaken!
They regarded the Phoenix Maiden even more as a treasured gem and the hope for the Sect’s rise!
However, there is no wall in the world that does not leak wind. Although the Piaomiao Sect did not wish news of the Phoenix Maiden to spread, many forces still caught wind of it.
Moreover, after some time, the rumors spread wider and wider; at least most First Grade forces knew that the Piaomiao Sect had produced a Phoenix Maiden!
Then, trouble arrived!
Some Sects or forces came to propose marriage!
On this matter, the Piaomiao Sect certainly rejected them outright, but there were some that were not so easy to refuse!
For example, the Nine Heavens Palace!
If the Piaomiao Sect counts as an upper-tier First Grade force, then the Nine Heavens Palace is one of the very few super First Grade Sects!
In terms of background and strength, the Piaomiao Sect still had some gap compared to the Nine Heavens Palace.
Especially since this time, they had come to seek marriage for Helian Qing!
And who is Helian Qing?!
He is the Saint Heir of the Nine Heavens Palace, an existence that even the Cangxuan Three Talents can only look up to from afar!
For who knows how many years now, Helian Qing has already been the number one among the younger generation of the Cangxuan Territory!
For so many years, not to mention being on par with him, there hasn’t even been anyone who could get close to him!
Although the Piaomiao Sect knew exactly what the Nine Heavens Palace was scheming, they could not treat them like the other Sects and directly reject them sternly!
Doing so would be far too disrespectful to the Nine Heavens Palace, and likewise to Helian Qing!
What gave the Piaomiao Sect an even bigger headache was that it wasn’t only the Nine Heavens Palace and Helian Qing; because of this, opinions within the Piaomiao Sect were split, and these days they had been arguing non-stop!
...
On the main peak there was a delicate little house. Although it was not far from the center of the building complex, it was still a quiet place amid the bustle.
At this moment, a woman in a white long dress was holding a watering pot, carefully tending a few plants and flowers in the courtyard.
Her profile was flawless white, practically perfect, her expression serene yet focused!
A few specks of dust and water stains dotted her white long dress, but she did not care.
However, she was not alone in this small courtyard. A girl slightly younger than her was sitting with bent legs on the steps in front of the door.
The girl’s face looked a bit troubled. Watching the woman tending the plants with full attention, she could not help saying:
"Sister Pei, how can you not be anxious at all?"
This girl was, of course, Qi Wei, whom Su Chen had met before.
The woman turned her head and glanced at Qi Wei, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth:
"What is there to be anxious about? Didn’t you already tell him?"
"Him?"
Qi Wei jumped to her feet as soon as she heard this:
"Sister Pei, you’re not actually counting on him to solve the current situation, are you?"
"And why not?"
Pei Man said with a matter-of-fact smile.
"Sister Pei, I admit that guy does have some skills, but even the Sect Master can’t resolve the current dilemma. What could he possibly do if he comes?"
Qi Wei hurriedly said:
"I even suspect he might not dare to come at all when the time comes!"
Qi Wei had reasons for saying this. After all, those few who wanted to propose to Sister Pei were no ordinary people; the forces behind them were terrifying existences!
Hearing this, Pei Man straightened up slightly, looked at the distant sky, and murmured:
"Don’t worry, he will definitely come!"
When Pei Man said this, it was not to give herself confidence, but more like stating an objective fact!
Qi Wei couldn’t quite understand why Sister Pei had such confidence in that young man. She couldn’t help asking again:
"Even if he comes, what if he can’t solve it?"
"What else can we do? Once he comes, everything will naturally be up to him."
Pei Man said with a slight smile.
Qi Wei was completely speechless. Just what kind of bewitching soup had that guy fed Sister Pei!
Just then, Pei Man’s expression changed slightly!
"Sister Pei, what’s wrong?"
Qi Wei had been watching Pei Man all along and naturally noticed the change in her expression, so she immediately asked.
"Helian Qing has arrived."
"He came so fast!"
Qi Wei couldn’t help but exclaim.
You have to know, Sister Pei had only left seclusion a few days ago. In other words, Helian Qing had received the news at the first possible moment and rushed over immediately!
"Let’s go as well."
Pei Man said calmly.
"Sister Pei, you’d better not show yourself."
Qi Wei said worriedly.
Seeing the worry on Qi Wei’s face, Pei Man smiled faintly:
"There’s no hiding from this. Before he arrives, I still have to face it."
As she spoke, she had already stepped toward the courtyard gate, and Qi Wei quickly followed behind her...
...
At the same time, inside a grand hall of the Piaomiao Sect, many people were seated.
On the main seat was, of course, the Piaomiao Sect Master, Sheng Tang, with a row of people seated on each side.
On one side were some Elders of the Piaomiao Sect, and on the other side were people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion!
At the end of the Nine Heavens Pavilion side sat a young man, handsome and elegant, his features like they had been carved.
He wore a cyan robe, casually playing with a teacup in his hand, while listening idly to the others’ voices.
Although he was young and seated at the very end, appearing to be a negligible, even dispensable presence, there was not a single person present who dared to ignore him.
While everyone discussed matters, they were constantly watching his expression, afraid of provoking even the slightest displeasure from him!
