As Lin Chen and his companions ventured deeper into the mountain forest, a few days later, they suddenly felt the spiritual energy in the space around them grow denser.
Lin Chen was overjoyed, and he quickened the pace of the group’s advance, for the significant increase in the concentration of spiritual power around them signified the potential appearance of treasures.
Soon after, under Lin Chen’s lead, the group arrived at a lake within the mountain forest.
It wasn’t long before another group of martial artists also reached the lake.
This group had more people than Lin Chen’s team, with around twenty individuals. Among them were a few disciples of the Divine Fla Sect, both n and won, while the others were from the Bodhi Hall and Third Person Pavilion.
At that mont, those martial artists also noticed Lin Chen and his party, but since Lin Chen’s cultivation was relatively low, they didn’t attract much attention from the others.
"Yo, isn’t that Senior Sister Yao and Junior Sister Yu? To have led your sisters into this dangerous place, aren’t you afraid of encountering any danger?"
Spoke a woman at the back of the opposing group, wearing a pink dress.
At this mont, the woman in the pink dress, with her gaze fixed on Yao Qinghe and Yu Weilian, spoke in a tone slightly tinged with mockery, smiling as she spoke.
The woman in the pink dress was nad Xu Jiaojiao, and she ranked second among the younger generation of the Divine Fla Sect’s inner sect mbers, with Yao Qinghe being the top ranked disciple, and Yu Weilian in third place.
Although Xu Jiaojiao’s status in the Divine Fla Sect wasn’t too low, this woman had an incredibly strong sense of jealousy, and she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Her talents were naturally not as good as Yao Qinghe, so the Divine Fla Sect naturally paid more attention to cultivating Yao Qinghe, which led to Xu Jiaojiao harboring a strong resentnt towards Yao Qinghe.
Thus, while at the Divine Fla Sect, Xu Jiaojiao even invited Yu Weilian to join her in opposing Yao Qinghe, but her invitation was refused by Yu Weilian.
Since then, Xu Jiaojiao also held a grudge against Yu Weilian.
Yu Weilian’s beauty was well-known in the western part of the Eastern Domain. Many n were smitten with her, including the male disciples from the Divine Fla Sect who were always vying for her attention, which inevitably led to Xu Jiaojiao’s dissatisfaction.
The reason Xu Jiaojiao and other disciples had managed to reach this place was due to the help of martial artists from the Third Person Pavilion and the Bodhi Hall; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to reach this deep into the forest on their own.
"If Sister Xu can co, why can’t we? This place isn’t Sister Xu’s ho after all."
Yao Qinghe had no liking for Xu Jiaojiao and imdiately retorted when she heard Xu Jiaojiao’s provocation.
"Hmph, we managed to reach this place by relying on the help of brothers from the Third Person Pavilion and the Bodhi Hall, so naturally, we fear no danger."
"Senior Sister Yao managed to co here fearless and self-assured. Could it be because of that little waste behind you? His cultivation is only at the Second Layer of Reverting Void Realm; he can’t possibly be a pretty boy that Senior Sister Yao is keeping on the sly, right?"
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Yao Qinghe and Yu Weilian and imdiately felt annoyed. She then spoke with a hint of mockery.
"Xu Jiaojiao, what nonsense are you spouting here?"
Upon hearing Xu Jiaojiao defa Yao Qinghe and Lin Chen, Yu Weilian’s anger flared up, and she stood out and yelled at Xu Jiaojiao.
Xu Jiaojiao could talk about anyone, but when it ca to Lin Chen, it was unacceptable.
"Yo yo, Junior Sister Yu, why so intense? Could it be that this little man is your pet? No, no, no, perhaps you’re both vying for him?"
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Yu Weilian and suddenly covered her face, laughing.
The words imdiately intensified Yu Weilian’s anger, and she was about to teach Xu Jiaojiao a lesson but was intercepted by Yao Qinghe.
For Yao Qinghe saw through Xu Jiaojiao’s intention in an instant, this damn b*tch must have ford so connection with those martial artists from Third Person Pavilion and Bodhi Hall, and now she was provoking Yu Weilian to make the first move, thus giving the martial artists from Third Person Pavilion and Bodhi Hall a reason to intervene.
Behind Yu Weilian, Lin Chen frowned slightly, his gaze falling upon Xu Jiaojiao. The woman targeted him as soon as she opened her mouth, which imdiately irked Lin Chen.
"Oh, isn’t this Little Sister Yu? Long ti no see. What a coincidence to bump into you here today."
Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded, followed by a sowhat slender man in a white robe walking out from behind the Bodhi Hall martial artists.
Yu Weilian looked at the man, her eyebrows imdiately furrowing, clearly not pleased to see him.
The man in white was none other than a disciple of Bodhi Hall, nad Ning Yuanxuan, with a cultivation in the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm. He ranked within the top fifty in Bodhi Hall.
Lin Chen recognized the man, recalling him from prior discussions Qin Kaifeng had about the ranking of the ground list, known for his lasciviousness, indulging in debauchery with no restraint. The man was only within the top five hundred of the ground list, which might seem powerful to ordinary people, but to Lin Chen, it was nothing.
Yu Weilian had previously been harassed by this man when she left the Western Part of the Eastern Region. However, due to the man’s Ning Family status, she held so apprehension and could not outright ignore him, thus always enduring his pursuit.
Yu Weilian looked at Ning Yuanxuan but didn’t bother to speak or pay him any attention, knowing full well that whatever she said, he would shalessly press on, so she deed it a waste of ti to converse with him.
"Hehe, Miss Yu still maintains her usual aloof deanor."
Seeing that Yu Weilian completely ignored him, Ning Yuanxuan felt humiliated, especially in front of so many people and several disciples who admired him, which made him feel a loss of face.
At this mont, Xu Jiaojiao was secretly delighted.
She knew all too well the kind of person Ning Yuanxuan was. If Yu Weilian were to suffer under Ning, she wondered what face Yu Weilian would have to stand on in Divine Fla Sect thereafter. With just a little manipulation on her part, all the brothers and sisters who once supported Yu Weilian would surely scorn and revile her.
"Little Sister Yu, we’re all family here, why the need to act so cold? I’d like to see just how long you can keep up this act of aloofness."
