Chapter 2111: Chapter 2111: You Are Not Worthy!
"Sect Master Sheng, are you evading us because you look down on our Nine Heavens Palace, or do you think our Saint Heir is not worthy of your Phoenix Maiden?"
An elder from Nine Heavens Palace spoke with a sinister tone.
"It’s a misunderstanding; how could we dare look down on the Nine Heavens Palace and the Saint Heir?"
An elder from Piaomiao Sect hurriedly explained.
"Don’t think the Phoenix Maiden is so extraordinary; even if she is the Phoenix Maiden, our Saint Heir marrying her would not disgrace her!"
"Yes, yes, yes~~~"
The elder from Piaomiao Sect, who spoke earlier, hastily agreed.
The other side indeed had the confidence to say this. Although the Phoenix Maiden is a rarity, isn’t Helian Qing also a monster rarely seen in tens of thousands of years?!
"What do you say about this matter?!"
Another elder from Nine Heavens Palace shouted with a hint of anger.
Hearing these words, a trace of anger flashed across Sheng Tang’s face as well!
This Nine Heavens Palace is being too aggressive; he, the Sect Master, is still sitting here!
However, due to various factors, he slightly endured and did not explode.
"Everyone, please let us consider this matter. The Phoenix Maiden has been in closed retreat recently, and this is ultimately a lifelong matter for her. We should ask for her opinion, shouldn’t we?"
Another elder from Piaomiao Sect said with a beaming smile.
Upon hearing this, the people from Piaomiao Sect exchanged glances, aware that this was just a pretext since the Phoenix Maiden had already come out of her retreat days ago, and if they wanted to discuss, they would have done so already.
But Piaomiao Sect is still a force not to be underestimated, and pushing too hard wouldn’t be good.
However, they weren’t the ones who could decide on this matter and collectively looked towards the young man sitting at the end.
The young man in a blue robe took a sip of tea, casually placed the cup down, and stood up:
"Today is already the third time I’ve come."
Hearing this, everyone awaited his continuation, unsure of what he meant!
"I hope that the fourth time I come will be to marry the Phoenix Maiden, rather than continuing to bicker here."
He glanced around at everyone and then said lightly:
"So today, this matter must be settled!"
This was bare-faced coercion!
A young man pressuring a sect; this could be seen as contempt, let alone the sect being of Upper First Grade!
Normally, Piaomiao Sect would have turned hostile directly!
But when the young man is Helian Qing, the situation is entirely different!
In Nine Heavens Palace, Helian Qing’s words carry authority second only to the Palace Master, and most of the time, what he says represents the will of Nine Heavens Palace!
With these words, the dilemma suddenly fell on Piaomiao Sect’s side.
At this time, an elder from Piaomiao Sect spoke:
"Sect Master, I believe Nine Heavens Palace’s sincerity is evident, and Helian Qing is indeed a dragon among men, a perfect match for the Phoenix Maiden. Why don’t we accomplish this matter; it could be spoken of as a beautiful tale in the future!"
"Indeed! I also think so, and our two houses would become even closer in the future!"
Someone immediately echoed this sentiment.
Two or three others, though silent, nodded in agreement with this opinion.
Seeing this scene filled Sheng Tang with a deep anger; he did not believe these people did not understand his intentions, clearly pretending and attempting by any means to keep the Phoenix Maiden!
Yet, these people displayed such an attitude at this moment, leaving him disheartened!
He let out a deep sigh; this was, in fact, the manifestation of the two prevailing opinions within the sect over recent times.
Although most people, like him, wished to keep the Phoenix Maiden, as her presence promised the sect’s glorious rise!
Of course, some believed she was a treasure but also a potential disaster!
Isn’t the current situation the best proof?!
This is just Nine Heavens Palace forcing them, and already, Piaomiao Sect cannot withstand it.
Not to mention that there are two other forces, even less easy to deal with!
They feared that due to the Phoenix Maiden, the sect might be imperiled, and consequently themselves!
Hence, sending the Phoenix Maiden away was the best option; regarding the other forces, they can let them bicker with Nine Heavens Palace!
"Sect Master Sheng, I hope to receive your clear response!"
Helian Qing’s eyes fired directly at Sheng Tang, the coercive intent unmistakably clear.
In Cangxuan Territory, there’d always been rumors that Helian Qing was someone who’s arrogance ran down to the bone; today they were witnessing it!
Sheng Tang was, of course, furious, given his status and position. Helian Qing, however monstrous, was but a junior, and speaking like this was too dismissive of Piaomiao Sect!
He was about to say something when suddenly footsteps sounded from outside.
Looking up, he saw a pair of women approaching, both were beautiful and tall.
Especially the one in front, who looked like a fairy, especially under that white robe, with an aura of inviolability.
"Why have you come?"
Sheng Tang quickly said, surely not wanting Pei Man to be here. In the current situation, it’s best for him and the other elders to slowly negotiate with Nine Heavens Palace!
With Pei Man being the person involved, it made things less easy to dismiss.
"This is, after all, my matter; how could I not come?"
Pei Man said with a gentle smile.
"Miss Pei is indeed right; having Miss Pei here makes the matter easier to discuss!"
An elder from Nine Heavens Palace laughed.
Although they had seen Pei Man’s stunning beauty before, seeing her again, Sheng Tang’s heart still fluttered!
Pei Man’s beauty is such that it makes one ignore everything else, not to mention her Phoenix Bloodline!
Such a woman is rare to find in the entire Yunxiao Continent!
"You wish to marry me?"
Pei Man turned to look at Helian Qing, and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Helian Qing said elegantly:
"Since our last meeting, I’ve admired you, thinking we’re perfectly matched by destiny!"
"Indeed, should the two unite, it would certainly be a joyous event throughout Cangxuan Territory!"
Someone quickly chimed in from Nine Heavens Palace.
"Pei Man, he’s truly your suitable match!"
"Yes, it’s rare for Nine Heavens Palace to show such sincerity; Pei Man, you must seize the opportunity!"
Someone from Piaomiao Sect spoke.
Even though Sheng Tang was the Sect Master, he could not suppress differing views.
However, Pei Man faintly smiled and said:
"I’m sorry, but I don’t agree."
"Why?"
Helian Qing slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this; those familiar with him knew this was his angry look.
For Helian Qing, never had anyone rejected him so directly!
Even though the other was the Phoenix Maiden, he didn’t consider himself lesser; this was his pride!
And indeed, he has the substance to back that pride!
"Because you’re not worthy!"
Pei Man said calmly, her expression unchanged!
