“Master, what are you thinking?” Kong Hou laughed. “Huan Zhong is a peak master of Radiance Sect. If he turns to our sect, I don’t know what kind of fuss the cultivation world would make.”
Wang Tong laughed loudly upon hearing this, and gave all the good things he had collected recently to Kong Hou. “Master is joking with you.” Even if Zhong Xi really wanted to join Splendid Cloud Sect, Splendid Cloud Sect would not dare rashly accept him. A cultivation genius like Spirit Master Zhong Xi was only suited to Radiance Sect. The best choice for Splendid Cloud Sect was to have a good relationship with him.
“Master, you went to irritate Qing Yuan Shishu again?” Kong Hou found several bottles of pill medicines. No one in the sect except Qing Yuan Shishu and Shu Jiu Grand Shishu could forge them. Master was usually a sloppy person, but still very obedient in front of elders. So these things could only come from Qing Yuan Shishu.
“Yes, these pills are all ones without side effects but good for the body. You need them in your cultivation. Why can’t I steal more?” Wang Tong said unhappily. “A while ago, he stole some talismans I had just made. I cannot lose out in this matter.”
Kong Hou: “…”
Master and Shishu thought the days on the mountain were boring and wanted to find some things to do?

Nine Phoenix Sect was residing in a courtyard in the east. Ever since Peak Master Zhi He left the gates, Ling Yue hadn’t had a good expression. The other three disciples knew Ling Yue was not in a good mood and did not dare to provoke her. They stood with their swords in the courtyard and practiced.
Soon, an apprentice of Splendid Cloud Sect came and said the banquet was being held tonight. They all accepted to attend. They had heard long ago that Harmonious City’s food was amazing. Even if their desire for good food was not heavy, they felt some anticipation.
Soon, they saw the peak master return, but for some reason, he looked slightly depressed. When Ling Yue saw Peak Master Zhi He’s expression, her own depression lessened. Seeing Shishu like this, she knew the marriage hadn’t been accepted.
“Ling Yue.” Zhi He called Ling Yue who had a pleased expression. “Did you know that Spirit Master Huan Zhong was Zhong Xi?”
“What?” Ling Yue almost didn’t believe her ears, and was unable to conceal her shocked expression. “Huan Zhong is Spirit Master Zhong Xi?”
Everyone knew of Spirit Master Zhong Xi. He was the embodiment of the sword. How could a man like this have a gentle expression and hold hands with a young girl?
Ling Yue had once seen the side profile of Spirit Master Zhong Xi. A century ago, she had been pursuing an evil cultivator who had killed innocent women. When she chased the evil cultivator to the mouth of a valley, she saw a white-robed man descend from the sky. The fleeing evil cultivator could not even dodge before Spirit Master Zhong Xi pierced him through the heart.
She had never seen such a cold man. He looked to be a fake person carved out of ice, so powerful he was inhuman. Just the profile was enough to make her feel cold.
Because she had seen Spirit Master Zhong Xi from a distance before, Ling Yue was unable to accept being with a man like that. She could not imagine an ice statue would change into a man.
“Yes, Spirit Master Huan Zhong admitted it himself. Huan Zhong is only his mortal name. His cultivation name is Zhong Xi.” Thinking how at the gates of Splendid Cloud Sect Spirit Master Zhong Xi had said in person that he and Ling Yue were not suitable, Zhi He felt slightly embarrassed. He saw Ling Yue had a strange expression and worried this matter would ruin her mood and affect her path. He urged, “Spirit Master Zhong Xi is an antisocial person—do not think much about it.”
