Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 467 - 467: Tang Jianxue's Announcement
Having accepted his offer, she merely looks over his general direction as she gives a small nod of agreement, her voice resounding in his head after her little acknowledgement, her questioning tone apparent.
{I’m just kidding, Su Xiaotian, what is it that you can’t accomplish that you will need a help from an outsider like me?} the regal lady asked with a smile on her face, her eyes turning into a crescent shape as she felt like she won’t be getting out of this exchange empty handed, even if she doesn’t force the young man to.
As much as she thought so though, she doesn’t explicitly state that she wants something in exchange for whatever favor it is that this immortal-like junior wants her to do, acting carefully as she doesn’t want to suddenly ruin this small rapport established between the two of them all too suddenly.
{Because it is exactly related to all outsiders here, Lady Xiang…} hearing her query, Su Xiaotian immediately replies with a wry smile on his face, stating what might possibly go on and telling the regal lady everything that he needs help with in detail, which isn’t really all too large of a matter for the mature lady being the authoritative figure she is back where they came from.
{I see, so the Headmistress of this place is worried of extortion huh… quite the harsh view on our people~~} after hearing the entirety of the situation from the immortal-like young man, Dongfang Xiang said as she faked a disappointed, or rather, sad tone while she wept an invisible tear down her fair cheeks, her action making Su Xiaotian once again, shake his head with a wry smile on his face as he retorts.
{Well, without your intervention, do you think it won’t happen, Lady Xiang?} the young man then asked, his question remained unanswered as the regal lady returns into silence with a helpless smile on her face, knowing full well that such thing, unless someone powerful enough intervened, will always be the case in the cultivation world.
{I get it, young man, now go back to your place and call that Headmistress here, I want to discuss some few things with her, but I’ll make sure that I will help with her issue as much as I can…} the lady then said as she waves her hands as if to shoo the immortal-like young man away, this not being taken as an offensive gesture by Su Xiaotian as he already got what he wants, prompting him to nod in respect at this regal beauty before his figure disappears from his previous position, returning back to his companions once more.
‘Tsk tsk tsk, if my sister saw what sort of monster he is, she’s definitely going to put more effort than mine to poach him…’ noticing that she didn’t even realize that he is already gone from his previous position, Dongfang Xiang thought to herself, making her leak out a small peal of amused giggle that made her niece look at her direction with some trace of confusion apparent on her beautiful face.
“It’s nothing, Little Jing, everything is taken care of now, I think we’re only going to stay in this place for a few more hours before we start roaming this world again…” Dongfang Xiang said as she moved one of her fair hands to caress the young beauty’s head, her smile a doting one as she spoke, her words making the young lady wonder.
“Auntie Xiang, why? I thought there’s one more trial before the competition end?” having felt the immense benefits of the two previous trials, this princess, Dongfang Jing, wonders in dismay as she felt that she doesn’t even need to get the reward for completing all the trials and possibly even winning the competition, as for her, the benefits from enduring and passing the two previous trials are already more than enough of a harvest for her to be satisfied of this trip as a whole.
“My little niece, being attacked by a celestial as a mortal-level force is a danger that even if resolved, still has a lot of repercussions that need to be dealt with. Do you think this Dao Seeking Mountains will have enough manpower to deal with the aftermath of the attack while entertaining the guests in this competition?”
Dongfang Xiang asked, making the young princess feel enlightened and prompting her to nod at her aunt’s words, this very same agreement also made her sigh as she missed her biggest target in this competition.
‘Ho~~ would you look at this little girl~~~’ looking at the expression in her niece’s face, mostly pity but with a hint of longing and curiosity, the regal lady couldn’t help but smile knowingly as she recalls the face of that immortal-like young man who just talked to her previously, and truth being told, she wouldn’t even be surprised if this niece of hers start developing interest on that young man.
Still, knowing that she’s the type of lady who would rather discover everything herself, she opts not to point out her current expression as she merely starts looking forward to the future, intending to tell this matter only to her sister once they return back to their kingdom.
‘Hahaha, I wonder what sort of face Zi’er will make once she hears of this thing,’ she thought with anticipation of that moment, before her face returned to a normal, accommodating yet still authoritative one as she felt a new figure appearing near her.
Looking at the distinguished, pure white robe and the lotus pin that holds her hair with a dignified hair, the face that seems to reveal an authority not paling hers, Dongfang Xiang couldn’t help but nod in admiration as she scrutinizes her, her mind wondering just what sort of genetics does the people in this world has for them to develop such level of appearance extremely rare even in the vast expanses of the universe itself.
Should she witness the actual appearance of those ladies accompanying the immortal-like young man behind their veils, this question of hers would only grow greater in her mind, but for now that there’s no such thing happening yet, she was able to focus on what is about to happen as she nods at the dignified beauty, assuring her that she will deal with everything that is about to happen.
Looking back at this regal figure as well, this dignified, sword wielding beauty also nods at her direction before she took a deep breath calming herself down, managing to steel her resold, despite the collective air around these Half-step Celestial Realm experts making it so that it could be difficult for even a fellow cultivator of the same level as them to breathe.
“Thank you for your patience for enduring the previous interruptions, everyone. We had already dealt with the problem, so there’s no need to worry anymore, due to such an unexpected occurrence happening, though, it would be quite difficult for us to progress the Dao Enlightenment Competition from this point on…”
And as Tang Jianxue ends her words, just as everyone expected, all those guests start exploding in complaint, revealing just how almost every single cultivator will take advantage of everyone around them.
