What Game Is This? Part 1

Luo Tian left the Xuan Tian Sect.

His next destination was the sacred Yaochi.

He had previously sent letters to disciples of other sects, inviting younger cultivators to a banquet at the Yaochi Holy Land to discuss the attack on the Demon Cave.

The reason for choosing Yaochi Holy Land was naturally because Xuantian Sect was powerful, and holding the event there would have an aggressive connotation.

The Jade Pool Holy Land held a Peach Banquet a few years ago, so most cultivators wouldn't object to it.

The only question is whether the Jade Pool Holy Land will agree.

But this is not a problem.

Because Luo Tian had already maxed out the favorability rating with Yaochi Holy Land.

……

Upon arriving at the sacred Yaochi, Luo Tian first went to pay his respects to the Holy Mother of Yaochi.

"The divine son has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and is handsome and dashing, with the demeanor of a young emperor."

The Holy Mother of Yaochi smiled and was very kind to Luo Tian.

"I often chat with Empress Xuan. Whenever we talk about the Divine Child, Empress Xuan praises you highly, her face beaming. She says that the Divine Child eliminates demons and protects the righteous path to relieve her worries, or that the Divine Child repeatedly presents rare and exotic fruits, which is truly enviable."

The Holy Mother of Yaochi and Empress Xuan were like sisters, and in some ways, they were like best friends.

It's likely that Empress Xuan boasted about it quite a bit in front of the Holy Mother of Yaochi.

"It's still early before the banquet. The Holy Maiden is waiting in her chamber. The Divine Son may wish to visit her when he has time."

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

Luo Tian bowed and took his leave.

Then, accompanied by a maid, they went to the boudoir of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

……

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​it's been a long time."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi still maintained her otherworldly appearance.

She gestured for Luo Tian to sit down and personally brewed tea for him.

Luo Tian glanced briefly at the boudoir of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

There are no superfluous decorations, nor are there any bright and colorful decorations.

It is simply adorned with fresh and elegant silks and satins, creating a clean and refined atmosphere.

It's like a fairyland in the clouds.

"Is it really alright to invite me into your private quarters like this?"

Luo Tian asked with some curiosity.

In this world, even cultivators generally wouldn't let other men into their boudoirs without careful consideration.

But then I thought about it again, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was no ordinary woman.

She probably never thought about anything romantic; she just considered it an invitation to a close friend to come over for a casual chat.

That shows that I'm being too attached to appearances.

But then the Holy Maiden of Yaochi answered in an ethereal voice.

"Brother Luo Tian is the first and only man to be allowed into my boudoir."

"I see, then it's truly my honor."

Luo Tian chuckled.

He saw through the cunning glint in the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi at a glance.

"It's best for the Holy Maiden to say such things less. It's only because we know each other well that people might misunderstand and think you have feelings for him."

"Perhaps I really do have feelings for him?"

"That's truly a blessing that man has accumulated over ten lifetimes to win the affections of the Holy Maiden. It's enough to make countless men envious and heartbroken."

"I am deeply grateful for your high regard, fellow Daoist. It's a pity that some people don't appreciate their good fortune..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi revealed a meaningful smile.

With delicate hands, she gently poured tea for Luo Tian, ​​then changed the subject to other topics.

"Brother Luo Tian sent me a letter earlier, asking about methods to win over my junior sister. I wonder what the outcome was?"

"It's a mixed bag."

Luo Tian smiled wryly.

"I... cough, I mean my fellow Daoist, following your advice, revealed everything about himself to his junior sister, and now she's hiding in her cave in seclusion, refusing to see him."

"what?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked slightly puzzled.

"But what went wrong with my suggestion?"

"No, it was entirely my fault... that fellow Daoist acted impulsively in the last moment and messed things up."

Luo Tian hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"My fellow Daoist was caught up in the atmosphere and forcibly took my junior sister's first kiss, causing her to leave in shame and anger."

"What? That's outrageous!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's expression changed slightly.

She was like a docile fox that suddenly bristled with righteous indignation.

"Brother Luo Tian... this fellow Daoist is far too impolite, far too unrestrained. How could he be so impulsive, so despicable and shameless? It's simply... simply... so unbearable..."

His speech became incoherent.

"Well……"

Seeing the Holy Maiden of Yaochi acting out of character, sharing a common hatred against the enemy.

Luo Tian was momentarily at a loss.

I feel very guilty.

Did he actually do something so outrageous?

No wonder the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan locked herself in Tianxuan Palace and wouldn't come out.

"Please calm down, Holy Maiden. My fellow Daoist was indeed extremely unreasonable, and in the end, he reaped what he sowed."

Luo Tianqian laughed twice.

"No, Brother Luo Tian, ​​I should be the one apologizing. I lost control over some trivial matters and acted too indignantly."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had recovered by this time and bowed her head to apologize to Luo Tian.

It has returned to its original extraordinary and refined aura.

He was a completely different person from before.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​you came in a hurry, your hair is disheveled."

After letting out a long sigh, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi suddenly looked up at the top of Luo Tian's head.

Luo Tian touched his hair.

"Is there?"

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​you may not realize it yourself, so as an apology, let me comb your hair."

"Huh? This is so sudden, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Could it be that Brother Luo Tian is still bound by the distinction between men and women? If so, I suppose you would find me too frivolous."

"I didn't mean that, sigh... whatever makes you happy."

Braising water to set tofu is a classic example of one thing subduing another.

Since the Holy Maiden of Yaochi herself didn't mind, Luo Tian naturally didn't care either.

So Luo Tian allowed the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to do as she pleased behind him.

After straightening his hair, Luo Tian thanked the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke again.

"I was impolite just now, and my hair is a bit disheveled. If Brother Luo Tian doesn't mind, please do my hair."

"..."

Luo Tian's lips twitched slightly.

Is this some kind of weird game?

After several years of being pen pals, he also knew that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi would occasionally play some small pranks.

This must be part of the game played by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Luo Tian took the comb and combed the hair of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​you have done my hair and makeup. I have no way to repay you, so I give you this amulet. I hope you will keep it close to your body."

After washing up, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi took out a hand-embroidered amulet from her bosom and handed it to Luo Tian.

Luo Tian accepted the talisman with a wry smile, and after thinking for a moment, handed his own Divine Firmament Talisman to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"This is the Divine Firmament Amulet that I always wear with me, and I am now giving it to the Holy Maiden as a return gift."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled and nodded, accepting the talisman.

After all that, it was time for the banquet to begin.

……

Luo Tian and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi arrived at the banquet hall one after the other.

Led by the prodigies of the Three Sects and Four Sacred Lands, most of the younger generation of prodigies have already arrived.

Everyone knows that this banquet is to gather all the geniuses of the present generation to discuss the matter of defeating the demon.

This is a battle for the contemporary prodigy to prove himself.

"As you all know, this gathering of heroes is for a grand occasion."

Luo Tian displayed his exceptional oratory skills and addressed everyone present in a loud and clear voice.

"In this day and age, the demonic sects are wreaking havoc, causing immense suffering to the people. As disciples of a prestigious and orthodox sect, we bear the mandate bestowed by our late master and inherit the spirit left by our ancestors. It is our sacred duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."

"Some time ago, we discovered the demonic lair where the evil offspring of the demonic sect were hiding, but we were hampered by our lack of manpower and were unable to eradicate it in time, causing the demonic energy to spread. Every time I think of this, I feel guilty and uneasy!"

"Therefore, today we cordially invite all fellow practitioners from across the land, whether from renowned sects or solitary cultivators, to set aside sectarian prejudices and join us in this battle! Let us unite as one, storm the demon's lair, slay the evil spirits, and defend our righteous path!"

"When the world is bright and clear, the world will know our names!"

As Luo Tian delivered his impassioned speech, many of the young talents in the hall were filled with fervor.

"The Divine Son of Luo Tian is right! It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path!"

"Those evil cultivators from the demonic sects desecrated my ancestral graves; I have long ago severed all ties with them!"

"We, the pride of our time, are already able to influence the fate of the world. Now is the perfect time to start from the Demon Cave and refine the swords in our hands."

Everyone chimed in with their agreement.

As expected, he performed according to his predetermined fate.

They each had their own ulterior motives, some seeking fame and fortune, others following the trend to show off their power, and still others seeking revenge.

Those who truly want to eliminate evil and uphold justice are ultimately only a minority.

There might even be traitors within the Demonic Sect.

But it doesn't matter.

Luo Tian only needs to create the scene of a grand attack on the Demon Cave.

To create the perfect stage for his final battle with Ye Chen.
