Chapter 478: Supporting the Ascension (1/2)
After thinking through it, he followed Bai Luochu back to the Reflection Cliff and allowed Bai Luochu to replace the restriction on him.
Pei Qingfeng saw that the matter was done, and he wanted to leave. He never expected for her to refuse to leave.
”What is wrong? Do you have something else you want to do?” Pei Qingfeng thought that Bai Luochu wanted to make a move on Hua Sen. Although he felt that it wasn't proper, if it was Bai Luochu's decision, no matter how improper it was, Pei Qingfeng wouldn't stop her.
”What are you thinking?” Bai Luochu noticed Pei Qingfeng's gaze flittering between her and Hua Sen. She instantly understood what Pei Qingfeng was thinking.
Without a choice, she explained herself, ”I do have something to do but it is definitely not what you are thinking.”
Her plan was actually to meddle in someone else's business. In order to prevent Pei Qingfeng from stopping her, Bai Luochu could only reply vaguely.
Hua Sen saw how the two of them were talking in riddles and he failed to catch anything. But seeing the atmosphere between them, he felt that he wouldn't interfere as an outsider. He was able to talk in front of Lu Wenshu, but when in the presence of others, he would love to be a mute.
Bai Luochu had indeed planned something. Hua Sen's moral conduct and upright behavior was rather pure among the immortal sects' disciples. As such, Bai Luochu wanted to personally push Hua Sen to sit on the position of the patriarch of the sect. If her plan were to succeed, she would sign an alliance contract with him to purge the entire cultivation world. After all, the Phoenix King Valley and the other immortal sect had been pressuring the other factions for too long. Instead of hoping for the problem to solve itself, Bai Luochu felt that taking the initiative to suppress them was the way to go.
If someone else was to hear of this idea, they would definitely think it was a fantasy story. This era where the strong ruled over the weak had gone on for a long time. The only way for Bai Luochu to achieve her goals would be for her to eliminate both the other immortal sects. Only then would she be able to return peace and tranquility into the cultivation world.
In order to prevent Lu Wenshu’s reputation, Hua Sen made it look as though Lu Wenshu had already left the sect on his own accord.
Without a choice, they could only go to the Reflection Cliff to look for Hua Sen.
”Senior Hua Sen, not good. The Patriarch and the elders... something happened to them!”
Hua Sen revealed a frightened expression on his face as he struggled to remove the restriction placed on his body. When Bai Luochu saw Hua Sen's performance, she felt it was rather funny as she never imagined that Hua Sen would possess such great acting skills. Bai Luochu actually felt that she was withholding his talent by pushing him to be the patriarch of his sect.
Just as Bai Luochu predicted, after the incident, a huge gap in power filled the sect. Hua Sen had no choice but to step up as he didn’t want to waste Lu Wenshu’s hard work.
