The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 446 - 262 How Good It Looks_2

Is Quan Shifang pushing himself to the opposite side of all the ladies?

But she doesn’t care anymore.

Ning Xiaoxian had just emerged from a mysterious state not long ago, still carrying an aura of ethereal tranquility. Standing by her side, Quan Shifang felt as though she was far, far away from him, seemingly untouchable, uncaressable, a strange sense of irritation flaring up in his heart. His fingertips started itching, longing to reach out and grasp her small hand. All notions of gentlemanly conduct, poise, and the scrutiny of onlookers were cast aside.

However, just as this thought arose, he forcefully suppressed it.

He was not someone who could do as he pleased.

She was dressed plainly in a simple white robe, far less bright than her junior sisters; her complexion serene, her demeanor cool and aloof, not as delicate and alluring as her junior sisters. Yet the only figure he was willing to embrace in his eyes and heart was hers. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

This woman, no matter how he looked at her, he found her to be good.

Ning Xiaoxian, with her head lowered, could still feel his affectionate gaze. She didn’t understand why Quan Shifang had become more proactive since injuring her, no longer hiding his feelings, and she didn’t know how to respond now. All she could do was softly hum in acknowledgment, then added for clarity, "I know."

Her behavior, observed by Quan Shifang, made his heart bloom with joy: "Is she shy, does she like me too?"

In the God Demon Prison, Changtian was grinding his teeth: "Lift your head! Don’t let him harbor unrealistic fantasies!"

Huh? Following the command, she decisively lifted her head, meeting Quan Shifang’s unguarded, affectionate eyes, and felt a sudden heat on her face.

Whether or not she liked this towering man, the passion in Handsome Quan’s eyes was enough to move any woman’s heart. So Changtian’s plans were in vain, and the blush on her lovely face was captured in Quan Shifang’s gaze, increasing his joy even further.

He liked her, yet he had always been unaware of her feelings.

Inside the God Demon Prison, Qiongqi rarely sighed so deeply, looking sympathetically at Changtian’s changing expressions. It seemed that even the love life of the Lord Divine Monarch would have its twists and turns.

Finally, Ning Xiaoxian coughed lightly, deciding to break the suffocating silence: "Senior Brother Quan, are you acquainted with Daoist Gu?"

He was taken aback for a moment, not expecting her to bring up Gu Yuming: "Our families have been friends for generations, I’ve known him since childhood. But that eccentric refused to join a Great Sect, insisting on entering a sect with only a few generations of disciples, claiming it’s more comfortable to take on the role of Sect Leader." Being a cultivator himself, he didn’t want Ning Xiaoxian to feel too awkward, so by talking he adjusted his breath, and his last few words sounded relaxed and easy-going, signaling he had returned to a stable and comfortable state.

This ability to remain calm and composed was truly impressive.

He turned his head to ponder for a moment, then asked: "Is there something you need?"

"Nothing much. On my way here, I discussed business with him for a bit, and it seems he has insights into commerce."

The two fell into silence again, then suddenly both spoke at the same time:

"I have some assets under my name..."

"Gu Yuming has a fiancée..."

They both halted their words simultaneously.

Senior Brother Quan is too playful. Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t hold back anymore and chuckled.

Her laugh was fresh and luminescent like peach blossoms in March. Quan Shifang’s face reddened, but his heart settled: the Ning Xiaoxian he was familiar with had returned.

From a distance, Gu Yuming coughed lightly, signaling his own presence, reminding these two not to speak ill of him as if no one else were around.

She had no choice but to convey to Quan Shifang through a transmission: "What’s your opinion on Gu Yuming? Can he be trusted? I need someone to manage some property under my name, and his family lands seem to be in the Central part of Nan Zhanbu Continent, I might need to rely on his help later."

"When it comes to business, Gu Yuming’s reputation is quite reliable, and he is an open and honest person. If you need it, I will speak to him on your behalf," Quan Shifang contemplated, "If you encounter troubles, why not seek me out? The influence my family wields in the mortal world is no weaker than his."

He was showing goodwill towards her. Quan Shifang had never pursued a girl before, but he naturally knew what to do.

Accept his help? Changtian would not agree. Ning Xiaoxian smiled and shook her head, then shifted the topic, "Your Master surely knows that I’ve also come to Guangcheng Palace, doesn’t he? What was his reaction?" The old fellow had been hell-bent on killing her, and she had no kind thoughts towards him in return.

If Bai Qing still wanted to pursue her, she needed to be prepared. To deal with the Sect Leader of Chaoyun Sect’s sword was not easy. In fact, it was simple; she just had to keep a step ahead of him, trusting that the Grand Master would not stoop to chase her down and kill her in front of everyone, without considering his status.

Speaking of this, his expression became somewhat uneasy: "I did not mention it to my Master, but yesterday after Junior Brother Yao returned from Chizhu Peak, it didn’t even take two hours before everyone in Chaoyun Sect knew you had arrived." His tone grew slightly irate towards the end, clearly displeased with Yu Yao’s loose lips.

The guy had been secretive and making suggestive gestures everywhere, as if afraid others wouldn’t know that he, Quan Shifang, fancied Ning Xiaoxian. Although that was indeed the truth...

"My Master has not sought me out on this matter, and given his nature, he would not bring it up voluntarily." He had always been steady and decorous, but now suddenly scratched his head, showing a boyish naivety, "Don’t worry, though my Master has a foul temper, he is a deep and reasonable man."

Too reasonable in fact; it’s why he wanted to kill her, right?

She sighed softly, speaking in a low voice, "Do you know your Master once wanted Hu Huoer to come and kill me?"

"I know." Quan Shifang’s face turned stern, "After Junior Master Hu returned to the sect, he told me. I sought out my Master twice. Though he did not state it, the killing intent in his heart has faded; I have served him for many years and I would not misread this!"

Ning Xiaoxian believed him. Given Quan Shifang’s nature, he wouldn’t undertake something he was uncertain of, especially when it concerned her safety. (To be continued.
