Chapter 28

What a show-off!

"Being caught between Junior Sister Tianxuan and Junior Sister Yaoguang is truly a torment."

Luo Tian breathed a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, he felt that fighting to the death with the protagonist Ye Chen was probably less mentally taxing than dealing with his two junior sisters.

That's why he made an excuse to come out and get some fresh air.

Luo Tian looked around and saw almost no one.

The younger generation is exchanging ideas and discussing doctrines, while the elders of various sects are debating matters of the world.

According to the original plot, the Peach Banquet was held a year later. At that time, the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm was discovered, so everyone prepared to work together to open the secret realm.

It was also after the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm that Ye Chen received the inheritance of the Ziwei Emperor, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.

The Peach Banquet has been moved up a year, and the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm has not yet appeared, so it is unknown what the elders of the various sects are discussing.

Luo Tian did consider preventing Ye Chen from obtaining the inheritance of the Ziwei Emperor.

However, he received the inheritance of Emperor Gouchen and was very clear about the mysteries of the emperor's inheritance.

Even if he prevents Ye Chen from entering the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm, the inheritance of the Ziwei Emperor will still fall into Ye Chen's hands by some twist of fate.

Because Ye Chen possesses the Purple Extreme Sacred Body and is the Lord of All Stars.

Just as Luo Tian possessed the Heavenly Divine Body and was chosen by the Great Emperor Gouchen as his successor.

"The Purple Extreme Sacred Body is the natural counter to the Heavenly Gang Divine Body, so other powers are needed to defeat the protagonist of destiny."

Luo Tian stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

It is said that the peach trees in the sacred Yaochi were propagated from the ancestral tree through the power of Jumang, but whether this is true or not is unknown.

How can we confirm this?

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard footsteps ahead.

Luo Tian looked up and saw a maid from the Yaochi Holy Land walking over.

He remembered the other person; she was one of the two maids who served the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

The maidservant curtsied.

"Greetings, Divine Child of Xuantian. The Holy Maiden is grateful for your presence at the banquet and has specially prepared a feast at Biluo Pavilion to invite you to join us. Would you be so kind as to come in?"

"So it was the Holy Maiden of Yaochi who invited me. In that case, I will take my leave."

Luo Tian immediately agreed.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had specifically requested Luo Tian to attend the banquet, so this invitation was exactly what he had expected.

He was also planning to ask the Holy Maiden of Yaochi about Jumang.

"Please come with me, divine child."

So Luo Tian followed the maid to Biluo Pavilion, where the Holy Maiden of Yaochi resided.

After the two left, a figure emerged from around the corner.

"So, Senior Brother is going to have a secret rendezvous with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi..."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan murmured to herself.

After discovering that Luo Tian was behaving strangely, she followed him out of concern for her senior brother.

It seems like coming here was definitely the right decision.

"Could it be that my previous words disheartened my senior brother, leading him to force himself to agree to the sect's marriage alliance...?"

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan's brows furrowed in deep thought.

Senior Brother Luo Tian always doted on her.

She had previously asked her senior brother to focus his attention on the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, which is why he sacrificed himself to fulfill her wish.

Tianxuan Saintess did not want this to happen.

She felt somewhat guilty.

But more than anything, I felt ashamed and annoyed.

The fact that her senior brother went to such lengths for her only made her feel immense pressure and increasingly resentful.

Tianxuan Saintess turned and left.

Suddenly, a barely perceptible strange noise came from nearby.

"Who is it?"

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan turned around abruptly, staring coldly ahead.

"Wait a minute, it's me!"

A strange young man in black emerged from the shadows and smiled at the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.

Tianxuan Saintess carefully examined the other party, her gaze hardening.

"Ye Chen?"

"As expected, I couldn't escape your eyes, Tianxuan."

Ye Chen grinned.

……

Luo Tian arrived at Biluo Pavilion.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was already waiting there.

When she saw Luo Tian, ​​she simply smiled and invited him to sit down, then personally poured him tea.

"This is the first time I have officially met the Divine Child."

"I have long admired the Holy Maiden, but I have never had the chance to meet her. Now my wish has finally come true."

Luo Tian said politely.

After all, they needed to ask for favors and maintain the alliance between the Xuantian Sect and the Yaochi Holy Land.

Besides, this isn't exactly a lie.

The beauty of the Jade Pool Saintess is renowned throughout the world, and everyone is curious about her, wanting to catch a glimpse of her celestial beauty.

"The one the divine son truly admires is probably not this young woman, but the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled gently and winked playfully.

"I am indeed loyal to Junior Sister Tianxuan, but to be honest, the Holy Maiden's beauty is no less than that of Junior Sister Tianxuan, as if she were a fairy descended to earth."

Luo Tian replied.

As the ultimate simp for the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan, unwavering loyalty is an essential aspect that cannot be ignored.

Especially now that the "simp" persona is in jeopardy.

"Your Highness is mistaken. If I were truly superior to the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan, why would you refuse my marriage proposal and make me your Daoist partner?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi sighed softly.

"..."

What a pretentious person.

Luo Tian immediately noticed the cunning in Yaochi Saintess's eyes.

Was the Holy Maiden of Yaochi really this kind of person?

He recalled the Jade Pool Saintess of his predetermined fate, but the scenes were few, and she maintained her aloofness from beginning to end.

However, Luo Tian's acting skills are also quite good.

"I have let the saint down."

Luo Tian smiled bitterly.

"I have been with Junior Sister Tianxuan since childhood, and I am deeply in love with her. Unfortunately, I met the Holy Maiden too late, and now my heart can no longer accommodate anyone else, so I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"However, this marriage is an agreement made by our two families a long time ago."

"The Xuantian Sect and the Yaochi Holy Land are of one mind and share the same origin, so how could they turn against each other because of this agreement?"

Luo Tian shook his head and decided to confront the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"I also know that the Holy Maiden is a celestial being banished from heaven, devoted to the Dao, and has no interest in worldly matters such as romantic love. It would not be a bad thing for the Holy Maiden to cancel our marriage."

"The divine child seems to know me quite well?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was somewhat surprised.

"It's just a feeling in my heart."

Luo Tian smiled slightly.

He certainly understood, after all, the image of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was also part of his predetermined destiny.

Seeing that Luo Tian didn't want to say more, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi stopped asking questions.

She simply poured tea for Luo Tian with gentle movements.

"Actually, the reason I invited the Divine Child to this meeting was because I heard that the Divine Child declined the marriage proposal to me. I also heard that the Divine Child is exceptionally talented and has the potential to become an emperor. I was quite curious and wanted to see for myself what kind of person the Divine Child is."

"Now that I've seen her, I wonder what the Holy Maiden thinks of me?"

"I believe what you say is true. The Divine Child is indeed the leading figure of our younger generation, and he is even more interesting than the rumors suggest."

"interesting?"

"Yes, that's interesting."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gazed at Luo Tian with a meaningful look.

"I am a boring person, while the Divine Child is an interesting one. For example, he is involved in the relationship between the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan and the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, and he seems to have come here by invitation, but in fact he has other purposes."

"How did the saint know?"

"If he had no ulterior motive, why would the Divine Child abandon the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan and accept my invitation alone?"

"……you're right."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi truly possessed keen intuition.

Luo Tian nodded seriously and explained his purpose.

"Actually, I came here to see the Holy Maiden to ask if you have ever heard of the divine bird Jumang?"

……

At the Peach Banquet.

Tianxuan Saintess returned to the palace.

As soon as she entered the hall, a petite figure ran up to her.

"Senior Sister Tianxuan, where is Senior Brother?"

"The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang asked anxiously."

She was engrossed in discussing and exchanging ideas, and when she came to her senses, she found that her senior brothers and sisters were not there.

I immediately felt anxious.

As she spoke, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang noticed another figure next to the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan, and immediately became happy again.

"Senior Brother... wait, who are you?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang wrinkled her small, delicate nose.

"My name is Chen Ye, and I have met the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang."

Ye Chen bowed to the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

All smiles.
