Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 336: Chapter 334: As Long as You Don’t Mind

Qingya had already spotted Jiang Jichen, and she was now looking at him with pity in her eyes.

’This Young Master of the Pavilion is quite pitiful,’ she thought. ’First, he was mistaken for a medicine thief, and now he’s been set up by Elder Yao.’

Honestly, even if Elder Yao was going to announce Lingchen as the Young Master of the Pharmacist System’s Pavilion, there was no need to make such a huge spectacle of it.

The world-shaking momentum, the astonishing phenomena, making sure every student and teacher knew, and then topping it off with such arrogant declarations.

’It was definitely on purpose!’

Jiang Jichen clearly felt the pity in Qingya’s gaze, which made him feel aggrieved!

But he couldn’t be bothered with her right now. Instead, he walked toward Han Qing.

Jiang Jichen let out a loud laugh. "Brother Han, I’ve heard so much about you!"

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, both Qingya and Han Qing were stunned and utterly confused.

Qingya wondered when Han Qing had become so famous. Even the Young Master of the Pavilion had heard so much about him!

Han Qing stared at Jiang Jichen, completely bewildered. He felt a strange sense of familiarity from the other man.

However, he didn’t recognize him. He had only been at the Heavenly Sword Academy for a few days, though he had been taken as a disciple by a strange old man from the Artifact Refining System.

But all of that was kept extremely low-key. Compared to this Young Master of the Pavilion’s high-profile style, it wasn’t even worth a mention.

’But how does he know me?’

’Heard so much about me? Heard so much about what?’

Of course, Han Qing had no idea that what Jiang Jichen had "heard so much about" was his talent for scheming and his treacherous nature!

"Ahem, Young Master Lingchen, you flatter me. Um... what business might you have with yours truly, Young Master Han?"

Even though he didn’t know what the other man had heard about him, having a Young Master of the Pavilion say such a thing made Han Qing feel a pleasant tingle all over, as if every pore on his body was opening up in delight!

So, he straightened his back, a proud look already spreading across his face.

’He changes so fast!’

’Yours truly, Young Master Han?’

Jiang Jichen’s expression turned a little strange.

Qingya also stared speechlessly at this weirdo.

Jiang Jichen, of course, understood this guy Han Qing’s character. ’Looks like he hasn’t changed a bit.’

He reached out, slinging an arm over Han Qing’s shoulders. "Brother Han, to be honest with you, my day has been rough. All these small fries keep coming to challenge me. I could slap them all down with one palm, but the problem is, they’re endless. Everywhere I go, someone spots me, and then they come at me one by one to challenge me. It’s getting really annoying. And if they don’t explicitly challenge me, I can’t make the first move. Otherwise, I would have already swept them away in droves. I have a plan now that can take care of a whole wave of them at once. I was wondering if Brother Han would be willing to help me?"

The moment he heard there was a chance to set someone up, Han Qing’s eyes lit up, and he trembled with excitement!

But he was also cautious. He suddenly looked up, glanced around furtively, and said, "Young Master of the Pavilion, this isn’t a good place to talk. We should..."

A knowing expression appeared on Jiang Jichen’s face. "Let’s go to that grove over there. Heh heh..."

Han Qing understood immediately!

And so, the two men, arms slung over each other’s shoulders, walked into the grove...

Leaving a dumbfounded Qingya standing alone.

’I was actually ignored!’

Qingya found it both unbelievable and unacceptable.

She was confident in her beauty—peerless elegance, world-toppling looks, and unmatched charm!

Even just standing there quietly, her charm was boundless, drawing everyone’s eyes and making her the center of attention.

But since that Young Master of the Pavilion appeared, he had barely glanced at her.

’Has my charm faded?’

Qingya started to feel a little insecure. She conjured a water mirror and looked at her face.

Her brows were like a painting, her face like a flower. Her eyes shimmered like autumn waters, her nose was like fine jade, and her red lips were sensual and alluring. She was still just as stunningly beautiful!

After confirming this, Qingya finally regained her confidence.

’Hmph, I’m this beautiful, yet they both ignored me, this beauty. Could it be that they’re...’

Thinking about them walking into the grove with their arms around each other, their intimate yet furtive expressions and actions, a very bad thought suddenly popped into Qingya’s mind.

’So dirty!’

Qingya shuddered.

Before long, Han Qing walked out of the grove, looking refreshed and invigorated.

He even said just one thing to Qingya: "Miss Qingya, you asked me about Brother Jichen, but I don’t know anything! I have something to do now, so I’ll be taking my leave. Heh heh..."

After speaking, Han Qing let out another strange laugh as he left.

The more he acted like this, the more unsettled Qingya felt...

Only after Han Qing was completely gone did Jiang Jichen gracefully emerge from the grove.

He too had a cheerful smile on his face.

Seeing that Qingya was still there, he smiled and greeted her, "Miss Qingya, you’re still here. I had some urgent business just now, so I forgot to say hello. Haha... I hope you don’t mind!"

Although Jiang Jichen was disguised as Lingchen, he still spoke to Qingya in his own tone, without any reservations. It was very casual and natural!

But those words... When Qingya heard them, her stomach clenched!

’Urgent business? Was it that urgent?’

’Don’t mind? Heh... how could I not mind you two men doing... *that*?’

Qingya’s gaze was strange... as she stared at Jiang Jichen.

She watched him walk over, getting closer to her.

Qingya’s face turned pale. She stammered, "Young Master of the Pavilion, I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving!"

Without waiting for a response, she fled in a panic, as if she had encountered a monster from the Primordial Chaos.

Watching Qingya flee for her life, Jiang Jichen touched his face and wondered aloud, "Am I that scary?"

However, he then recalled the look in Qingya’s eyes. It was...

Fuck!

Instantly understanding, Jiang Jichen almost shouted out a curse.

’Hmph, good thing I’m just Lingchen right now. Otherwise, my perfect image in this beauty’s mind would be ruined.’

Jiang Jichen breathed a silent sigh of relief.

At the same time, his mood quickly brightened. He and Han Qing had finalized their plan in the grove just now, and all that was left was for Han Qing to set it up.

Of course, to get Han Qing to do the work, Jiang Jichen was very generous, offering an Earth Spirit Stone as payment!

Han Qing was overjoyed when he saw the Earth Spirit Stone.

He had an Earth Spirit Vein, and his cultivation had recently reached a critical point where he was stuck at the Grandmaster Realm.

Now, with the Earth Spirit Stone, he could finally break through.

Seeing how generous and magnanimous Jiang Jichen was, a truly sincere partner, Han Qing stopped holding back and revealed his own trump card.

The Illusion Boundary Device!

It could conjure small-scale terrains, spaces, and so on at will. It was quite extraordinary.

It was a strange artifact that the odd old man had given Han Qing when he became his disciple.

When the time came, this strange artifact would be of great use.

Jiang Jichen swallowed a handful of Spirit Pills. As he headed toward the place he had arranged to meet Han Qing, he refined the pills to replenish his Spiritual Power.

Soon, Jiang Jichen was spotted by the Academy’s student Cultivators, who all started chasing after him.

But Jiang Jichen didn’t shake them. He just kept them at a distance where they couldn’t challenge him just yet.

This continued until Jiang Jichen saw a small, secluded square up ahead.

There was no one around, only Han Qing standing there, proud and tall.

He spoke with righteous indignation, "I, Han Qing, a student Cultivator of the Artifact Refining System, formally challenge Young Master Lingchen of the Pavilion!"

But after he spoke, Han Qing didn’t immediately start fighting. Instead, he turned to the crowd and shouted with sorrow and passion, "Brothers and sisters! I, Han Qing, am willing to be the first to challenge him! But if I fall, I hope you won’t back down! All of you, surround the square and attack one by one! We will surely defeat and replace this arrogant Young Master Lingchen who looks down on all of us! Let’s show him the invincible, passionate youth of our Heavenly Sword Academy!"

BOOM!

Spurred on by Han Qing’s words, the pursuing student Cultivators surged into the square, their passions ignited and their blood boiling.

But in the next moment, something unexpected happened!
