Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342: Two Dao Companions
Chen Nan also returned to the camp, only then did he learn of the Righteous Alliance’s decision.
Not only did he beco a prodigy, but he could also remove the Soul Locking Talisman, the latter being more important to him than anything else.
Removing the Soul Locking Talisman ant he wouldn’t be restrained, and his destiny wouldn’t be in soone else’s hands.
The flying boat landed, and Chen Nan and his companions were instantly surrounded, nurous cultivators gazed at Chen Nan with admiration, their fervor sowhat alarming him.
"Thank you for your concern, fellow daoists. I’m not fond of crowds, I hope you understand."
Just as he was about to leave, the crowd suddenly parted, and Yi Mingzi slowly walked over, wearing a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
"Haha, Jue Mingzi, you really are quite the surprise, you’re a big hero of our Righteous Alliance; such an occasion is certainly fitting."
Listening to his disingenuous words, Chen Nan felt disdain, but also suspected Yi Mingzi was trying to butter him up to set him up for a fall. After all, once soone is elevated to a pedestal, many things beco out of one’s control.
"Just doing what I ought to do, unworthy of being called a hero."
Although it was a fight to the death, so appearances had to be maintained since Yi Mingzi was still his superior.
Yi Mingzi ca closer, patting his shoulder, suddenly whispering in a voice only Chen Nan could hear: "Jue Mingzi, don’t get too cocky, I may not be able to kill you, but soone can. Just you wait!"
Chen Nan imdiately stepped back two paces, a look of surprise on his face, raising his voice: "What, you intend to kill ?"
His voice was loud, instantly silencing the surrounding cultivators, their gazes fixated on Yi Mingzi.
Even Yi Mingzi hadn’t expected Chen Nan to utter the words out loud; his heart was filled with even more resentnt, clearly trying to make him the target of everyone’s ire.
He forced an awkward smile: "How could it be, you misheard."
Chen Nan sneered, thinking how pathetic Yi Mingzi’s attempt to threaten him was.
"Oh, so I misheard. I actually thought you wanted to kill
since every task you assign
is always a near-death one."
His words imdiately incited widespread discussion among the surrounding cultivators, their gazes towards Yi Mingzi becoming unfavorable.
Bear in mind, Chen Nan was currently the idol in the hearts of most cultivators, born to loose cultivation, formidable in strength, loyal and righteous.
All were from humble origins without strong backgrounds, which naturally fostered a liking for soone like Chen Nan who rose from the ranks.
If Yi Mingzi genuinely targeted him, he would incur public wrath.
"Clearly, you have a big misunderstanding with ; let’s talk more about this later."
Yi Mingzi gritted his teeth with hatred, yet he maintained his smile, then turned away, unwilling to linger any longer.
Chen Nan chuckled, even though he had rely let Yi Mingzi taste defeat, it still felt satisfying.
Only at this mont did Chen Nan inadvertently catch sight of a figure in the distance, petite and graceful, who else but Liu Hanyue?
At this mont, Liu Hanyue was talking to Yang Xiaotian, seemingly unaware of what was happening here.
Chen Nan’s heart skipped a beat, hurriedly turning around, thinking to himself, "She shouldn’t be coming for , right? After all, my role as a scapegoat is already over."
Ning Yu saw Chen Nan’s sowhat tense deanor and curiously approached to ask, "Husband, what’s the matter?"
"It’s nothing, let’s hurry up and leave. I want to rest."
In the camp, there were accommodations prepared for cultivators, and for soone like Chen Nan, there was even a separate courtyard.
But before they could leave, a voice made Chen Nan stop in his tracks.
"Husband!"
The chatter suddenly ceased, and everyone turned to look, seeing Liu Hanyue and Yang Xiaotian, even those unfamiliar with them could perceive the pressure emanating from Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses.
Therefore, the crowd parted with a buzz, looking around in confusion, not understanding who Liu Hanyue was calling.
The mont Chen Nan heard the address, he knew trouble was coming, grabbed Ning Yu and was about to leave, but Liu Hanyue, after all, was in the Nascent Soul Realm, flashed to his side.
"Husband, why are you running?"
When she saw Chen Nan holding Ning Yu’s hand, her smile suddenly turned cold, causing Chen Nan to shiver deeply.
"Husband? Is she calling Master Jue Mingzi?"
"Master Jue Mingzi’s partner is actually Master Hanyue?"
"Impressive, truly a role model for us!"
Many cultivators inwardly felt envious, their hearts filled with bitterness, not only did he possess looks and strength, but even his partner was in the Nascent Soul Realm, how could they compare?
So cultivators who viewed Liu Hanyue as a dream lover felt their jealousy reach a fever pitch, wishing to fight to the death out of envy.
Especially with a resentful gaze belonging to Yi Mingzi who had not long departed but returned upon seeing Liu Hanyue.
Upon seeing Liu Hanyue addressing Chen Nan as her husband in front of everyone, Yi Mingzi’s desire to kill almost seed to take form.
"Jue Mingzi! Just wait, soon soone will co to kill you!"
At this mont, Chen Nan was utterly unaware of Yi Mingzi’s curse, rely staring at the woman before him with a headache.
Speaking of, she was his partner, but he had been heartbroken before, so he took a deep breath, gesturing respectfully towards Liu Hanyue.
"Greetings, Master, may I know what brings you here?"
Liu Hanyue’s face had already shown a layer of anger: "You’re calling
that?"
She turned towards those eager to watch a scene unfold, her face frosty: "Get lost!"
Many cultivators felt their breaths hitch, as if the area had beco a vacuum, promptly fleeing, leaving the space suddenly quiet, only Ning Yu and a few others remained.
Ning Yu couldn’t understand what had happened, but she surmised Chen Nan’s previous tension ca from the woman before him, and couldn’t help feeling worried, tightening her grip on Chen Nan’s hand.
"Master, I’m very tired, if you have no business, please let us pass."
Liu Hanyue displayed a hurt expression: "You’re asking
to leave? I am Hanyue, your partner, why don’t you recognize ?"
"And who is she?"
She pointed at Ning Yu and asked sternly.
Despite facing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, Ning Yu was quite nervous, but she still stepped forward: "Predecessor, I am his partner, please don’t wrongly claim my husband."
"Haha, how could I mistake my husband?" Liu Hanyue chuckled in anger, similarly stepping swiftly to hold Chen Nan’s hand.
The chaotic scene of two won fighting for a husband made Deng Yunhe, Zheng Yunzhou, and Daoist Cui restless, especially since one was a Nascent Soul powerhouse, seeing their embarrassnt, who knows if they might kill to keep it secret?
So they could only give Chen Nan an encouraging look, hastily leaving the scene, even Yang Xiaotian hurriedly turned away.
The two won clashed head-on, neither willing to yield.
