Immortal Soaring Blade

Vol.2-Chapter 185 – Looking for Trouble

After a long time, Fu Hongling blinked and then laughed.

Originally, she only knew Zhao Jiuge from his fight with Scar. Then her teacher became interested in Zhao Jiuge, and she began paying more attention to him as well. The more she watched, the more she realized that there was something different about him. She had always treated Zhao Jiuge like her little brother.

But today, she was touched and felt like they had gotten closer. This was not the feeling between a man and a woman, but familial love.

She adjusted her breathing and her smile gradually disappeared; she became serious. Although there wasn’t much difference, her gaze was now different.

“I’m kind to you because you are my little junior brother. I love this purple hairpin a lot.” Fu Hongling didn’t say much due to her nature. However, just like Zhao Jiuge said, some things didn’t need to be said.

The atmosphere seemed a bit tense. Fu Hongling smiled and deliberately avoided this tense atmosphere. She inserted the purple hairpin into her hair and said, “Let’s go. Now that the formation is set, we need to go register it at the Duty Hall. If we go too late, a patrolling elder may break this formation because it hasn’t been registered.”

She summoned her flying sword and gently pulled Zhao Jiuge. Both of them flew off into the air, and Fu Hongling said, “Tomorrow, we’ll drag your third senior brother here to do some hard labor and help you arrange the interior of the peak.”

After she finished speaking, she revealed a smile. Perhaps only when she was with Zhao Jiuge alone would she remove her cold mask and talk more.

Along the way, both of them remained silent. While Fu Hongling controlled the flying sword, her dress fluttered, giving her an extraordinary temperament.

Zhao Jiuge had his head lowered and was pondering. He was still wearing his blue sword robe, but as a direct disciple, he could wear whatever he wanted. However, he had just become a direct disciple and didn’t know a lot of things.

Now that his peak had been decided, he had to think about cultivating. He was now the disciple of the Head Teacher and was under a lot of pressure. Not only did he have his own pressure, but his identity was very eye-catching.

After sorting out all the thoughts in his head, Zhao Jiuge felt better. After he finished all the chores and learned all the things he needed to know about the inner sect, he was going to focus on cultivation so he could quickly condense his spirit core. Then he would go to the Sword Casting Hall and find Ou Yezi to refine his flying sword.

He had already obtained the sword embryo he had always dreamed of and even got the precious Chill Ice Luan Phoenix’s essence soul. Zhao Jiuge felt his heart burn with passion when he looked at the struggling essence soul. Although it had lost its body, the ice phoenix’s soul was still amazing.

Fu Hongling smiled and looked at the pondering Zhao Jiuge. A wave of ripples suddenly set off in her heart.

The flying sword slowed down and the light trailing the sword dissipated. Fu Hongling gently tapped Zhao Jiuge’s forehead and said, “We are here. Are you still thinking about the girl named Bo Re?”

Zhao Jiuge suddenly became sober. He wanted to explain that he was thinking of cultivation instead, but he suddenly noticed Fu Hongling’s teasing smile. His face turned red and he decided to remain silent.

“Wait for me outside and I’ll go register it for you. In the future, Nine Song Peak will belong to you,” Fu Hongling instructed Zhao Jiuge, then she walked into the Duty Hall.

The entire Mysterious Heaven Mountain Range was covered in mountain peaks. Some were forbidden lands, while others had been developed. Some had buildings built by the sect, and these peaks were connected by large chains. Those that haven’t been developed were ownerless and were left for new direct disciples like Zhao Jiuge.

Zhao Jiuge was in a good mood as he waited outside the Duty Hall for his senior sister to come out.

He suddenly heard footsteps close in from afar. He didn’t care at first, but when the footsteps stopped behind him, he couldn’t help but lock back. He suddenly found Zhang Pingquan and a young man who was a few years older than her.

Zhao Jiuge had never seen this young man before, so he should not be one of the new disciples. The young man wearing the light blue shirt had a smile that wasn’t a smile, and he looked at Zhao Jiuge with curiosity.

As for Zhang Pingqua, she couldn’t hide her hatred for Zhao Jiuge. Her chest heaved up and down, and when Zhao Jiuge turned around, she revealed a cold smile. She said in a strange tone, “Oh? I couldn’t tell you became the disciple of the Head Teacher. What, did you come to select your peak as well?”

According to reason, there were no great grudges between them. They had gone all-out against each other during the battle, but that was because they belonged to different factions. However, afterward, Zhang Pingquan had started to hold a deep grudge against Zhao Jiuge. Perhaps she was simply too narrow-minded.

Hearing Zhang Pingquan’s strange tone, Zhao Jiuge was too lazy to give her any face. He plainly said, “To each his own, to each his own. Didn’t you also become the disciple of the Head Seat of the Mysterious Strange Peak?”

Zhao Jiuge looked at the young man standing next to Zhang Pingquan and wondered who this person was. Since the young man hadn’t taken the initiative to speak, Zhao Jiuge was even more puzzled. However, from the looks of his clothes, he should be another direct disciple.

“Oh, even if the teacher is powerful, if the disciple lacks strength, then the teacher will only lose face.” Zhang Pingquan revealed a mocking smile and looked at Zhao Jiuge with disdain.

Zhao Jiuge suddenly raised his brows. Zhang Pingquan’s words seemed to contain a hidden meaning. His voice shrank as he said, “What do you mean?”

“I don’t mean anything. I’m just saying so what if your teacher is the Head Teacher, you're too weak. Back on Wu Hua Peak, you relied on that girl. Without her, the results wouldn’t have been the same.” Zhang Pingquan still had the same tone.

Zhao Jiuge’s expression suddenly became extremely gloomy and ugly. She was clearly looking for trouble. He knew that the three peaks had their infighting, but he didn’t expect Zhang Pingquan to be so direct. Someone had to be supporting her.

As a result, Zhao Jiuge didn’t give her any face either.
