Zhong Xinyi pouted in dissatisfaction, her bright red lips parting slightly, “Didn’t you say ‘sister’?
How did it change back to ‘Elder Sister’?”
Her voice was enchanting, seemingly softening one’s very bones, prompting Cao Zhen to hurriedly look towards BeiChen Ying at his side, silently seeking help.
This Elder Zhong seemed to charm souls with just a frown or smile—unbearable, truly unbearable.
BeiChen Ying caught Cao Zhen’s glance, laughed with a strange heh-heh, and then said, “Second Sister already said so, aren’t you going to call her that?”
Cao Zhen really wanted to slap BeiChen Ying out of there—all just to make me call her sister, I…
“Good day, Sister Zhong.” For the third time, Cao Zhen changed his form of address for Zhong Xinyi.
Was calling a beautiful woman ‘sister’ a loss?
You’re just not giving Spirit Stones, if I call you ‘sister,’ will you believe that if you offer a hundred taels of Spirit Stones, I could make you kneel and cry out begging me to stop?
“That’s better,” laughed Zhong Xinyi with a tinkling bell-like sound.
BeiChen Ying then turned to introduce the petite woman sitting at the end of the table, “This is Fourth Sister, Elder Li Lingwei of the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace.”
“Elder Li.” Cao Zhen greeted her promptly, knowing well that the most troubling encounter for everyone at the Hundred Peaks Sect was meeting with someone from the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace.
“What ‘Elder’?” Li Lingwei frowned, stood up abruptly, stepping on a stone stool with one foot, and standing on the ground with the other, hands on her hips, holding a wine cup in one hand, looking up at the much taller Cao Zhen and shouted, “Do I look that old to you?”
Cao Zhen was at a loss for words—you yourself just called yourself old, can you blame me?
And, is this really a person from the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace?
Don’t people from there always have a cold expression, a face of rigidity?
Is BeiChen Ying just fooling me?
And that Elder Zhong, I now have my doubts if she is really from the Protective Immortal Palace.
This is clearly Purple Dawn Peak’s place, why aren’t there any Purple Dawn Peak’s people here?
But then, I’ve never heard of Purple Dawn Peak having such odd folks either.
Among these few people, only Elder Ru seems normal; the rest don’t seem normal at all.
Having said that, BeiChen Ying then pulled Cao Zhen to sit down, and while sitting, said with sympathy, “What a pity that Third Brother Wu Jinhuan isn’t here; otherwise, you would have met all the brothers and sisters of the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks.”
The Five Evils of Hundred Peaks…
Cao Zhen immediately looked at Ru Wenlin—the one who seemed even more scholarly than a teacher from the Taoist Institution was also one of the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks, the leader of the Five Evils?
The Five Evils of Hundred Peaks had a notorious reputation, but Cao Zhen indeed had no impression of them.
When he first met BeiChen Ying, even after knowing his name, he had no idea that BeiChen Ying was one of the Five Evils.
If they were the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks, then hogging a table was quite normal after all.
Why does that name sound familiar?
It seems I’ve heard it somewhere…
Oh, I remember now; didn’t Ling Xi say that one of her Heaven and Earth Bagua Talismans was taken by someone named Wu Jinhuan?
The last Talisman is in his hands?
If I want to get hold of it, I wonder how easy it will be.
Although I have a good relationship with BeiChen Ying, I don’t know Wu Jinhuan.
However, it seems that the Five Evils all get along quite well; with this in mind, it seems there might be an opportunity.
After thinking about it, Cao Zhen tentatively asked, “I wonder why I have not seen Elder Wu?” Since everyone else is an elder, it seems this Wu Jinhuan is also an elder.
BeiChen Ying answered offhandedly, “Who knows what that guy is up to, always so secretive.” After saying this, he suddenly came to a realization and looked at Cao Zhen with a strange expression, asking, “Are you looking for him for something?”
From what he knew about Cao Zhen, if Cao Zhen had nothing specific in mind, he would certainly not inquire about Wu Jinhuan, especially if Wu Jinhuan hadn’t come.
“I do have a little matter,” Cao Zhen said with a smile.
“I heard that Elder Wu has a Talisman that is one of the True Person Former Sect Leader’s Heaven and Earth Bagua Talismans?”
“He does have such a Talisman in his hands,” chimed in Zhong Xinyi.
“That Talisman does indeed seem to belong to the second generation Sect Leader True Person, but he said that it’s not very useful.
It can’t be used to fight nor to trap people; instead, it can serve as a small Qiankun Bag, and so he just uses it to hold trash.”
As she spoke, she casually picked up a strawberry that was about the size of four or five cherries, popping it into her mouth.
Perhaps the strawberry was too large, as some of its edges stained her lips. This update is available on NoveI[F]ire.net
She then extended her tongue, gently licked her lips, and her movements were indescribably seductive.
Zhong Xinyi gently licked her lips once, then a second time, and chuckled, “Does it look good?”
Cao Zhen choked up momentarily; how am I supposed to answer this—should I say it looks good or not?
Are the buns really that big?
Are the strawberries really that white?
You can’t blame me; I’m just having a normal conversation with you, looking at you normally.
If someone else—any normal man—were here, they’d also look, just like everyone else at this table…
Ru Wenlin didn’t look, which is normal; a character akin to a great scholar isn’t like ordinary people.
Cao Zhen glanced at BeiChen Ying who, ever since sitting down, had been seriously gazing at the stone table, and suddenly realized that this guy BeiChen Ying had not taken a careful look towards Zhong Xinyi since sitting down.
Cao Zhen also didn’t answer and, bracing himself, counter-asked, “Trash?”
