Chapter 1954: Chapter 1953: Laying the Plan
Dongfang Qing still wore an enigmatic smile.
If the Sect Master truly becomes such a person, I, Dongfang Qing, would be the first to object.
The song in the wind ceased.
Dongfang Qing wanted to pursue it, but found no sign of people.
He looked up at the sky, seeing the silver moon at the zenith.
Looking around, flowers bloomed everywhere, truly the most beautiful time on earth.
Yet at this moment, he had no heart to appreciate it.
After all, he still had many matters to plan.
Thus, he returned to the courtyard of the Heavenly God Residence.
A board game lay in the courtyard.
He approached the board, picked up a piece, pondering deeply.
"Now that the Sect Master has become the Alliance Hierarch, will he set Tianyong Mountain as headquarters, or Blackwater City?"
He slowly placed the piece down.
In his view, setting Tianyong Mountain as headquarters was undoubtedly the best choice.
After all, the Sect Master had been entrenched in Tianyong Mountain for years, making things easier to handle.
Setting Blackwater City as headquarters would make things quite difficult.
Thus, Tianyong Mountain would surely become the headquarters.
And the Sect Master might assign others to key positions in the Blackwater Secret Realm.
Who would the Sect Master choose to go?
After pondering for a moment.
The seven Peak Masters might be sent to the different directions.
Soon, Dongfang Qing deduced Wang Ye’s upcoming path.
...
Evergreen Peak.
Li Changchun was also contemplating Wang Ye’s future path.
However, in his view, Wang Ye would likely elect a new Peak Master, or even a new Sect Master next.
And he feared his position as Peak Master was unstable.
The future will either bring promotion or demotion.
Once he figured this out.
He busied himself through the night.
He arranged all personnel to be his trusted aides.
These people praised him generously.
And they cleaned Evergreen Peak spotless.
Having done all this, his expression relaxed.
If the Sect Master came to Tianyong Mountain for a secret visit, he would certainly have a good impression of it.
Perhaps in the future, he might even have the chance to become the Sect Master of Tianyong Mountain.
Thinking of this, he smiled.
Truly, following the Sect Master offers a promising future.
But just then, his laughter abruptly stopped.
He vaguely sensed someone approaching this way.
"Could it be the Sect Master?"
He hurriedly stifled his smile and began meditating.
Hoping to leave a good impression on Wang Ye.
However, it was not Wang Ye who came, but Elder Black Dragon.
Elder Black Dragon admired Luoye greatly.
He naturally hoped Luoye would stay at Tianyong Mountain.
He knew Li Changchun’s character well.
Li Changchun was extremely lecherous.
And Evergreen Peak also had many Spirit Jades; buying Miss Luoye wouldn’t be difficult.
"Elder Black Dragon, why are you here at midnight instead of guarding the mountain gate?"
Li Changchun gazed at Black Dragon and inquired.
Black Dragon forced an awkward smile, raised an eyebrow, and said in a sly manner.
"A girl came down the mountain; you just need eight thousand high-quality Spirit Jades to buy her. I wouldn’t forget about you for such a good deal."
Elder Black Dragon glanced around.
Seeing no one was around, he whispered.
Hearing this, Li Changchun was pleased, being single for hundreds of years, he naturally hoped for some companionship.
But thinking of the need to elect a new Sect Master soon.
If at this time, he bought a girl and exposed his true nature.
Then the position of Sect Master would slip away from him.
Once he became Sect Master, there would be no lack of women.
"Hmph, Elder Black Dragon, do I look like someone greedy and lustful?"
Li Changchun snorted coldly.
Black Dragon chuckled, nodding in agreement.
"Who here doesn’t know your reputation? You’re the infamous lsp of Tianyong Mountain!"
"Get lost!"
Li Changchun flung his robe aggressively.
A gust of black wind.
Swept Elder Black Dragon away.
Yes, Li Changchun was indeed an lsp.
But he wasn’t someone without self-restraint.
For the position of Sect Master, he’d even castrate himself if necessary.
At this moment, he certainly wouldn’t err for the sake of one girl.
Seeing Elder Black Dragon depart.
Li Changchun was quite upset.
How unlucky!
Elder Black Dragon left Evergreen Peak.
He shook his head, indeed, men were heartless.
"Women always sympathize with women; perhaps Zhao Zilan will purchase Luoye."
So he went to Tianlong Peak.
Within Tianlong Residence.
Zhao Zilan was perusing an ancient text.
The words were challenging and obscure.
Her elegant brows gradually furrowed.
These days, her mind was already preoccupied.
Thus, it became even harder to comprehend these words.
"What will happen to Tianyong Mountain in the future? What changes will occur in the Blackwater Secret Realm?"
Her mind was filled with such thoughts.
Makes it impossible for her to meditate in peace.
Moreover, she had only recently taken charge of Tianlong Peak, needing substantial time and effort to rejuvenate it.
After all, the previous Peak Master left her a complete mess.
"Master Zhao, haven’t you rested yet?"
Elder Black Dragon, seeing Zhao Zilan preoccupied, inquired.
Zhao Zilan, inherently amiable, upon seeing Black Dragon, put down her book.
"Elder Black Dragon, what is it? Speak directly, I’m quite busy."
"Well, I saw a girl, quite pitiful, trafficked to Tianyong Mountain."
"Master Zhao is known for a compassionate heart, you surely wouldn’t refuse."
Black Dragon stated his intention.
Zhao Zilan nodded upon hearing this.
"Bring that girl here to me."
Zhao Zilan recalled her past.
As a woman, she deeply understood the difficulties women face.
And felt this girl was quite pitiful.
Elder Black Dragon was delighted, soon bringing Luoye to Zhao Zilan.
Luoye’s brows carried a trace of gloom.
Her identity was indeed complex.
She was the Young Master of the Baihua Sect.
Skilled in illusion techniques.
Even Nangong Ren was deceived by her illusions.
In fact, nothing happened between her and Nangong Ren.
Nangong Ren merely engaged in dual cultivation with the illusion she created.
She had already set up the situation in advance, knowing Nangong Ren would eventually sell her to Tianyong Mountain.
At this moment, success was just a step away.
"Master Zhao, I’ve brought the person you wanted."
Black Dragon appeared respectful.
Zhao Zilan assessed Luoye.
Noticing her snow-white skin, cascading hair, and a faint fragrance about her.
Her attire seemed quite refined.
Made from Superior Heavenly Silkworm Silk.
Such a girl must be of noble birth.
Zhao Zilan inquired.
"Where is your home?"
Luoye smiled faintly.
"I live at Tianlan Lake, quite far from here."
Luoye had anticipated Zhao Zilan would ask this.
So she had already prepared an identity for herself.
She even anticipated being ultimately taken in by Zhao Zilan.
Although she hadn’t interacted with the seven Peak Masters of Tianyong Mountain.
She had learned much about their personalities through their experiences and history.
