543 Give Me a Chance! (1/2)

”…”

Facing Wang Lu, Chi Xuanying felt an unprecedented irritability. In his fifty years of cultivation, he had seen all kinds of people, even the aloof and remote Qiong Hua, he could talk cheerfully and wittily with her, but he had never seen a person like Wang Lu… No wonder in the social circle, Wang Lu's reputation was the most controversial.

However… this might not necessarily be a bad opportunity. The meeting between the lead disciple of Reaching Firmament Temple and the lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect would be bound to attract a lot of attention within the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. At that time, the performance of the two sides would be judged. One side was arrogant, while the other side was well-mannered.

Chi Xuanying did not deliberately use others to increase his influence, but if he could do it smoothly, he would never resist it. Those who lived under the shadow of the five super sects must always have their own way of survival.

”I think…” In the face of Wang Lu's overbearing attitude, Chi Xuanying was ready to open his mouth and insist that all this was just a misunderstanding. His eyes gazed at Liu Li whose face looked pleasant as her head was stroked by Wang Lu's hand, and his heart was moved.

Misunderstanding? Huh, in Plentiful City, everyone knows that this is not a misunderstanding. A few months ago, I met with Liu Li at Plentiful City and was smitten by her beauty, which was soon known by everyone in my social circle. If I continue to insist that this is just a misunderstanding, then it is nothing more than self-deception. Moreover, what would that imply in front of the lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect? The lead disciple of Reaching Firmament Temple didn't even have the guts to speak out the truth?

This is not a matter of morality, the two of us are single, and I, Chi Xuanying, am upright and square in pursuing her, how could there be anything shameful in that? Even if I told you the truth, what can you do?

You, Wang Lu, are just her Senior Brother, not her daoist companion!

Therefore, Chi Xuanying calmed himself, smiled, and said, ”Junior Sister Liu Li is innocent and kind, her graceful bearing is outstanding, so I really admire her.”

”I'm not interested in your thoughts.” Wang Lu interrupted, ”Liu Li has already been contracted by me, so go find other people to admire.”

”You really like to joke, people are not goods, you can't just say you contracted her.”

Wang Lu sneered. ”I have contracted her, so what? Sue me!”

Chi Xuanying said, ”Don't you feel that such a declaration is too overbearing and did not respect the subjective will of the concerned party?”

”Subjective will? What a joke.” Wang Lu shook his head and asked Liu Li, ”Liu Li, tell me, what do you think of this Chi Xuanying?”

Liu Li turned to look at Chi Xuanying, who smiled and nodded at her with natural and relaxed demeanor.

”Senior Brother Chi is a good person!”

Wang Lu laughed and said, ”Heard that? You're just a good guy to her, nothing more.”

With that, Wang Lu cast him with a 'what an idiot' look, pulled Liu Li's hand and then turned away.

”Hey!” Chi Xuanying refused to give up on this. As a matter of fact, he was somewhat encouraged. He had not been in contact with Liu Li for a long time, but she has already considered him as a good person… Obviously, this meant that he had made a good impression on her. If he could continue to develop this… of course, as long as there was Wang Lu, things would never go smooth, which he had already expected a few months ago.

The news of the disappearance of the lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect had just recently circulated in his social circle, and it happened just as he began to try to approach Liu Li. Thus, someone around him said to him that trying to approach Liu Li at this time would make people suspect that he was taking advantage of the situation. However, Chi Xuanying retorted that not only Wang Lu and Liu Li had no marriage agreement, they also had no love between man and woman. That even if Wang Lu did not disappear, this was not a taboo topic. Thus, the so-called taking advantage of the situation was out of the question.

Nevertheless, Chi Xuanying had actually anticipated that once Wang Lu came back, he would become a hindrance in front of Liu Li. Wang Lu and Liu Li indeed had no man-woman relationship, at least not for now… But from his private talk with a source from within the Beast Master School, the relationship between the two was more like a master-servant relationship. However, this kind of relationship was actually even more awful… Chi Xuanying had been cultivating for fifty years, so he had seen quite a lot of relationships. Among which, most of the obstruction lies not from the two people who love each other, but from the families behind the couple. And now, Wang Lu's action, in his view, was more in line with the stereotypical cunning and unreasonable mother-in-law.

Seeing that Wang Lu was about to go away with Liu Li, Chi Xuanying quickly shouted, ”Fellow Daoist, please wait1!”

Although this was a reckless move, Chi Xuanying had to do it. If he let Wang Lu really go like this, he would never be able to see Liu Li again… In his fifty years of cultivation, this was the first time he was attracted to a woman. If he just let the matter go like this, perhaps in a few decades, it would form into a lingering heart demon. Therefore, even if Wang Lu disliked him, he would not care.

Who knew that Wang Lu's reaction was actually much bigger than what he expected. Wang Lu did stop, but when he turned around, he sent out a sharp sword qi that came right at Chi Xuanying's face, which greatly shook his primordial spirit.

At this moment, the power of Chi Xuanying, as the lead disciple of Reaching Firmament Temple, fully erupted. In his jade mansion, purple cloud curled up, the fully refined peak golden core brewed under the total sublimation of the purple cloud, and then condensed into a vague, semi-immaterial little person.

When this human form was established, Chi Xuanying activated the whole magical power in his body as a trace of immortal spirit qi flooded his whole body, which comprehensively activated the surrounding spiritual energy… Astonishingly, this was a magical ability of Yuanying Stage.
