The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 487 - 485: Feeling Extremely Distressed
"Engaged?"
Nan Xian’s expression froze for a moment.
"How could he be your fiancé?"
Hadn’t Chu Yan always harbored feelings for his own apprentice?
"My father had arranged our engagement earlier, but he refused."
Qing Dai lifted the sleeve of her robe to wipe the tears from her face.
After a while, she finally came to a realization, "I’m having my period now, does that mean I can have children?"
Song Jian glanced at her, "You should be able to, didn’t your mother tell you about these things?"
"My mother passed away when I was born."
Song Jian thought to himself that she too was a pitiable child.
"You can go ask a physician, and if you feel unwell, let her treat you. Just say that it’s my request, consider the Heavenly Mechanism Sect as your own home."
"Uncle Song Jian, you are really too kind."
Qing Dai looked at him, deeply moved.
While they conversed, Nan Xian seemed somewhat distracted.
"Did you come to the Mortal World just to find Chu Yan?"
As they left, Nan Xian struggled internally for a while, but he couldn’t help asking.
"That’s right, do you know him?"
Nan Xian’s face darkened in an instant, "I don’t know him."
After speaking, he left Qing Dai behind and strode ahead.
"Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"
No matter how Qing Dai called out from behind, Nan Xian did not wait for her.
It took her some effort to catch up by jogging.
Then, she said in his ear, "I know why he rejected me, because he carries another woman in his heart. But that woman has been dead for a long time, and I believe that if I am sincere, Chu Yan will eventually be moved by me."
Nan Xian felt she was like an annoying fly.
Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.
Speaking words he didn’t want to hear.
Thud.
Before Qing Dai could even enter the room, Nan Xian had already slammed the door shut.
"You...!"
Qing Dai nearly collided with the door, glaring at it in anger.
"Nan Xian, are you sick today or what? Hurry up and open the door!"
"What do you want?"
Nan Xian’s indifferent voice came from inside the door.
"Can’t I find you if there’s nothing wrong? I just want to talk to you."
Qing Dai was a chatterbox; she could strike up a happy conversation with just about anyone she met on the road.
"I don’t want to speak to you."
"..."
Qing Dai was so angered that she snorted and turned to walk away.
Fine, if you don’t want to talk, then don’t!
She could find other people in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to hang out with!
What Nan Xian said was out of frustration, yet seeing her truly turn and walk away, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of panic in his heart.
But why this feeling of unease, he couldn’t quite comprehend.
-
After Nan Xian injured Guan Lin, Song You had administered a healing elixir to him, and after that, he had to heal himself.
Their dwelling had been destroyed, so they had to look for another.
"I have no idea what kind of background that guy has to have such an incredible Divine Artifact!"
Guan Lin sat cross-legged on the bed, his teeth itching with hatred.
It wasn’t just because Nan Xian had hurt him, but also because he had lost face.
After all, he was interested in Song You and had let her witness him at his most wretched.
"Miss Song, I’m sorry for the trouble I’m causing."
He looked apologetically at Song You.
"If it weren’t for that man’s Divine Artifact, I wouldn’t have been hurt by him. His Spiritual Energy is insignificant; I estimate he’s just at the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"It’s fine, you’ve helped me a lot; this is what I should do."
Song You thought back to the day’s events, her eyes reflecting deep thoughts.
"It’s just, how can someone like him have such a powerful Divine Artifact?"
"I guess he’s a disciple from a major sect," Guan Lin said reluctantly. "Those big sects have a deep foundation; they always give their clan disciples some good things to protect their lives."
"His cultivation is so low, it’s a waste in his hands."
Song You sighed, "I feel that the Divine Pen would be more suitable for Brother Guan."
Hearing this, a glint of greed flashed in Guan Lin’s eyes.
Having witnessed the power of the Divine Pen, he naturally wanted such a treasure for himself.
But he was injured now, and with the Divine Pen in that person’s hand, he was no match for him.
Unless someone could help him deal with it.
"What you said is right, it’s indeed wasted in his hands."
Guan Lin sneered.
"Oh, right, it seems they are disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
Guan Lin looked at Song You with surprise, "How do you know?"
Song You said sheepishly, "Although my cultivation isn’t high, I know some tracking secret techniques that even Nascent Soul Cultivators won’t detect. They injured you, so I wanted to see where they were from, so that we can take revenge in the future."
"So that’s it."
Guan Lin couldn’t help but feel touched.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Song You, "Since they are from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, how about I ask a friend to inquire about them? Knowing their identity would help me..."
He didn’t finish his sentence.
But Song You understood; he was definitely thinking about the Divine Pen.
Snatching treasures by killing people was something Song You had done before, and it was even more commonplace in the Cultivation World.
After Guan Lin had recovered enough, he contacted a friend in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
The person was named Zhu Chuanli.
He was a senior disciple of the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, with quite a high status.
Not all disciples in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were from the Song Family, but the Song Family’s position within the sect was a bit different from that of other outsiders.
Positions like the Sect Leader, for example, would only be passed on to someone from the Song Family.
And the bloodline of the Song Family had always been excellent, so they could firmly hold on to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Brother Zhu! It’s been a long time; how have you been?"
Guan Lin arranged to meet him at the largest restaurant in the city, where he greeted him warmly.
"Isn’t it the same?"
Zhu Chuanli smiled at him.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they got to the point.
"Brother Zhu, I need a favor. Do you recognize these two?"
Guan Lin had prepared portraits of Nan Xian and Qing Dai, and now he took them out.
"I recognize them, but what about them?"
Nan Xian and Qing Dai had stayed at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for a while.
Zhu Chuanli had seen them several times.
Especially the female, who had no cultivation and always roamed freely within the sect.
"What is their status within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
"They don’t have any particular status; they’re just staying for a few days."
"I see."
Having received the reply, Guan Lin began to make plans.
"Brother Zhu, when will they leave the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
Seeing him ask this, Zhu Chuanli couldn’t help but become curious, "Do you have a conflict with them?"
"Yes," Guan Lin admitted frankly, "I was injured by someone a few days ago, and it was by him."
He pointed at the portrait of Nan Xian.
"His cultivation is not high, how could he injure you?"
Zhu Chuanli thought Nan Xian was just a Foundation Establishment weakling.
"Wasn’t it because he has a very powerful Divine Pen in his hand? Otherwise, how could he injure me."
Guan Lin’s expression was somewhat indescribable.
"What kind of Divine Pen allows a Foundation Establishment to injure a Golden Core? It’s really intriguing."
Zhu Chuanli narrowed his eyes, interested.
Seeing this, Guan Lin told him about what happened that day.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Chuanli laughed, "So powerful, I really want to see it for myself."
"Since he’s in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect anyway, why doesn’t Brother Zhu ask to borrow it and take a look?"
"That’s true."
