Shi Chun naturally understood as well and was sowhat surprised. He hadn't done anything and was just passing by, yet the people of Shudao Mountain wanted to kill him rely because he was Shi Chun. What kind of nonsense was this?
If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have co down at all and would have just run away.
That was what he thought, but he didn't show any reaction. Besides glancing at Yuan Yao and rembering this person, his expression didn't change, and he still maintained a smile, staring at Gu Lianni and quietly waiting for her response.
He couldn't claim to be completely calm and composed, but he was indeed very composed.
If it really ca to a fight, he truly dreaded the so-called Magical Treasure because each Magical Treasure had its own ingenious uniqueness, and they were all extrely varied. He had heard of them, but hadn't witnessed them, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
However, if there really was no other way, he wouldn't just sit and wait for death. After breaking through to the High Martial Upper Realm in cultivation, he had not yet found soone to test his strength against.
How could he describe his current mindset? On one hand, he was worried about being overpowered, and on the other hand, he was sowhat itching for a fight, after all, he did have so confidence in himself.
The Bath Demon Skill, which he was unwilling to abandon despite the difficulty in progressing, and the Big Gourds he went to great lengths to obtain from Wukang Mountain—those were all assurances he had saved up, and in fact, he had been on the verge of erupting for so ti.
Of course, if speaking softly could avoid the current trouble, he wouldn't mind doing so. He was observing whether it was necessary, after all, he was not familiar with these people.
Regardless, he could speak softly or forcefully, straightforwardly or insidiously, he was accustod to adapting to the situation.
His composed appearance surprised everyone from Shudao Mountain sowhat. It was as if he wasn't the target of Yuan Yao's words.
Composed despite imminent danger—a general's deanor!
That was the thought that flashed through Gu Lianni's mind, feeling that it matched the man who dominated the Sky Rain teor Conference—after all, at first glance, he wasn't the type of man who was tall and imposing, and she even suspected there was so exaggeration.
She said in a hearty voice, "So, aren't you scared?"
Shi Chun appeared puzzled, "Scared of what?"
Gu Lianni signaled to Yuan Yao, "Don't you understand what he said?"
Shi Chun made an oh sound, "His words aren't important, so there's nothing to be scared of. Here, your word is law."
This remark was sowhat disrespectful to Yuan Yao, leaving his spirited, horse-like face sowhat embarrassed. He wanted to retort but couldn't, because the newcor was right—here indeed, the junior uncle had the final say, and he couldn't deny it.
But the look in his eyes towards Shi Chun was already filled with hostility. He was not that old, and having sharp edges, no one liked to be looked down upon.
Gu Lianni lifted her chin slightly, intentionally displaying a bit of arrogance. "Then you tell , should I let you leave alive, or should I make you stay here forever?"
Shi Chun: "If you ask , of course, I'd be eager for you to let leave. After all, I haven't provoked or annoyed you, and if it's wrong to just pass by here, it would be a bit unreasonable."
Gu Lianni: "Are you sure you haven't provoked ?"
Shi Chun was startled, "Have I? Aren't we eting for the first ti?"
Gu Lianni, hands on her hips, glared at him, "Did you just call 'warrior'?"
Clearly, she was dissatisfied with the title.
Shi Chun looked at her sowhat robust figure and hurried to explain, "No, no, I was calling them, them."
In fact, when he used to show respect to people in the Land of Exile, he would call n 'warrior' and won 'female warrior'. He had forgotten who he had learned it from, and later, knowing that it was inappropriate, he tried to correct it, but sotis it still slipped out unintentionally.
It had been a long ti since he had done so, but today, he might have been influenced by the woman's physique.
Gu Lianni didn't seem to calm down, as she examined him from head to toe again, and said indifferently, "Then you'll have to beg , beg to spare you."
Shi Chun was straightforward, and he imdiately bowed with his hands clasped as if sincerely pleading, "With such beauty, you are surely a heroine among won. I would hope that you wouldn't trouble a minor person like myself and would kindly spare ."
This cowardly and sneaky behavior instantly caused the other disciples of Shudao Mountain to either suppress laughter or show a mocking expression. So much for being the number one person at the Sky Rain teor Conference—he was nothing special.
After all, disciples from the big sects like them could never so easily lose their pride, especially in front of many people, as it would bring sha upon their sect.
A trace of surprise passed through Gu Lianni's eyes. She glanced at her sect mbers approaching from afar, and thinking that there were still important matters to attend to, she didn't pursue any further. "Alright, you can go. But you'd better rember my words, Shudao Mountain is handling things here, and bystanders should stay clear. If there is a next ti, you won't be so lucky."
"Yes, I will firmly rember. Everyone, I take my leave," Shi Chun said, bowing to the crowd before turning to leave.
Gu Lianni suddenly called out, "Do you know who I am?"
Shi Chun continued to feign ignorance, "I don't know."
Shi Chun was actually aware of her surna being Gu, but he genuinely couldn't rember her first na because he didn't consider it worth his ntal effort. With so many attendees listed by Young Master Nan, he really couldn't rember them all. The fact that he could rember such a person was already a sign of considerable attention on his part.
Gu Lianni: "Don't you want to know who I am?"
Shi Chun hurriedly said, "I do, but I was afraid it would be too presumptuous to ask, so I didn't dare to inquire. Now that the lady has ntioned it, I will take the liberty to ask, may I know the lady's esteed na?"
Seeing his courteous deanor, Gu Lianni felt that he was indeed more pleasing to the eye than those rough types around her, and she said aloud, "My na is Gu Lianni, rember that. You, Shi Chun, have begged for rcy from , Gu Lianni!"
Shi Chun didn't think there was anything significant in that. Before he had taken the position of Master of East Nine Plain, he had begged for rcy countless tis, and even after taking that position, he had done so many tis, to the point where he could make Wu Jinliang kneel down and call soone else 'mother.' Begging for rcy was nothing new to him; he had long been accustod to it.
However, the way she emphasized it at the end still struck him as odd, and he silently wondered if there might be sothing wrong with her mind.
"Yes." Shi Chun humbled himself with a bow before turning swiftly to leap into the air.
After taking to the wind with Wind Scale, he circled around in the sky, using his right eye superpower to observe the situation up close. Once he had morized the lay of the land, he quickly departed.
On the icy ground, newly arrived disciples from Shudao Mountain reported, "Master Uncle, our formation on that side has been properly arranged."
Gu Lianni watched the departing figure in the sky and nodded to show she understood.
Yuan Yao spoke up again, "Master Uncle, I still feel that Shi Chun's sudden appearance here is no coincidence. Moreover, the sect has warned us to be cautious around this person. We really shouldn't have let him go."
Gu Lianni stared in the direction where the figure had disappeared. "You're absolutely right; there could indeed be a problem. I too wanted to detain him to prevent future troubles, but I was worried we wouldn't be able to."
This ti, not only Yuan Yao but also Pang Hou was surprised. "Master Uncle, aren't you being too modest? A group of us at the High Martial Great Success Realm, plus the support of Magical Treasures, would fail to detain him, a re Upper Realm practitioner?"
Gu Lianni turned to look at him, "Just now, you didn't really think he was afraid of us, did you? I didn't see a hint of fear in him, not in his body, not in his eyes, not in his words and deeds, and not in his bones. He was pretending, accommodating our attitude.
His cultivation is indeed High Martial Upper Realm, but just a year ago, his cultivation was at the Initial Martial Realm. In just one short year, he has already advanced to High Martial Upper Realm.
His cultivation talent is very high. When he was at the High Martial Small Success Realm, he defeated Mulan Qingqing of Su Yuan Sect, who was at the High Martial Upper Realm.
You only know that Su Yuan Sect is one of the Four Great Sects in the Cultivation World, but you probably haven't truly grasped how terrifying it is. I know Mulan Qingqing; I'm aware of her formidable strength.
Let put it this way: if it were a matter of life-and-death struggle, even with Magical Treasures in hand and a combined attack, we might still not be a match for her. We could even be killed without getting close to her!
Mulan Qingqing was no match for him, and now his cultivation has broken through to the Upper Realm, his strength would only be greater. We might not be able to detain him."
Yuan Yao responded, "Master Uncle, I've heard about Mulan Qingqing's defeat. Her loss might not be due to strength but because the Cultivation Techniques couldn't overco one another. Shi Chun might have won against Mulan Qingqing, but that doesn't an he can win against us!"
"That's right." Many people nodded in agreent.
Gu Lianni said, "I understand what you an, and I also had this thought. I'm even more eager to test the ttle of this so-called champion of the Sky Rain teor Conference who makes so many fear him, who managed to stand out among all the sects of Shengshen Continent. However, after much hesitation, I decided to let it go because I really wasn't absolutely certain.
By absolute certainty, I an a swift and decisive victory. If we were to cause a big commotion, our 'Elent Locking Array' is not yet successful, and the Divine Fire is not yet trapped. If we scare away the Divine Fire, in such a vast realm, how long will it take us to find it again? Would it not be a failure to seize the opportunity left to us by our ancestors? I'm not certain. Can any of you guarantee you are?"
After her words, there was silence from the crowd. Even Yuan Yao, after reflecting on it, felt sowhat ashad for nearly making a mistake. He promptly bowed and apologized, "Master Uncle, it was Yuan Yao who was impulsive."
Gu Lianni waved her hand, her admirable spirit shining through as she spoke, "There are priorities and urgencies in matters. We bear the heavy trust and hope of our sect; we must not fail.
When the serious business is nearly settled, I will find an opportunity to et this so-called champion of the Sky Rain teor Conference. No one in Shengshen Continent should let such a brat beco famous. We must not let him look down on us from the Artifact Refining World again.
Who says won are inferior to n? I must crush his arrogance for treating us dismissively and let all the n of Shengshen Continent know who I, Gu Lianni of Shudao Mountain, am!"
Pang Hou laughed, "The Divine Fire Domain is vast; it's not easy to encounter him again. I fear we may not et him again until the end."
Gu Lianni placed her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow, "He has to exit through the gate, doesn't he?"
It wasn't clear whether her waist was so slender because she liked to stand with her hands on her hips.
The folks from Shudao Mountain looked at each other, realizing that even if they didn't encounter Shi Chun this ti, this 'little Master Uncle' would likely go out of her way to find trouble with Shi Chun. They wondered what offense Shi Chun had given her.
anwhile, in another valley of ice, Shi Chun descended from the sky to et Wu Jinliang and the others who were waiting there. He let out a breath subconsciously.
Wu Jinliang noticed his unusual expression and asked, "What's the matter, did sothing happen?"
Shi Chun's face showed self-mockery, "I ran into a woman and got taken down a peg verbally."
"A woman?" Wu Jinliang was taken aback and then his eyes widened, "How preposterous, to dare to take advantage of our Master. Where is she? Is she beautiful? I'll go capture her and sleep with her, to avenge you thoroughly!" He said this while touching the Big Gourd on his back.
Chu Jingtang and the others exchanged cheeky smiles.
Shi Chun rolled his eyes at Wu Jinliang, "Tone it down with that kind of nonsense in the future. We're not in the Land of Exile now, out here, reputation matters. Enough, we've arrived just in ti. The stuff hasn't been taken by Shudao Mountain yet, so let's get to work quickly!"
