Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 106: Love Rival

"?"

Gao Xian's face showed a look of confusion. He didn't need to lean against the window, as he had already seen the person clearly through the Flower Spirit Mirror.

There were two young men in total. The one leading the way was dressed in a bright blue robe, adorned with accessories such as a jade pendant and a sachet. He had a handsome appearance, fair skin, and a somewhat charming and elegant demeanor.

The other young man was tall and strong, with an average appearance but a steady gaze. He wore a black robe and had a long sword at his waist.

Both of them were cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining. The young man leading the way had a higher cultivation level, while the one behind him appeared more experienced.

Gao Xian, with his wealth of experience, could tell at a glance the depth of cultivation of the two young men.

From their attire and demeanor, they should be cultivators from the Lianyun Sect. Judging from Zhou Ye's affectionate attitude, they seemed to have a close relationship with him.

Zhou Yuling was so nervous. Could it be that she had a special relationship with the young man leading the way?

The people had already arrived in the courtyard, and Gao Xian couldn't speak anymore. He could only express his confusion with his eyes.

"It's better if you don't meet. Stay in the room and don't make a sound. I'll talk to you later."

Zhou Yuling used sound transmission to explain to Gao Xian. She checked her hair and clothes again, then looked at Gao Xian.

Gao Xian nodded slightly to Zhou Yuling, indicating that there was no problem.

Zhou Yuling thought for a moment and made a gesture with her mouth to Gao Xian: "Hide well."

There was no other choice. Gao Xian could only activate the Shadowless Robe to completely conceal his figure.

Watching Gao Xian quickly disappear without a trace, a smile appeared on Zhou Yuling's face. She always found it amusing whenever she saw Gao Xian use this spell.

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch him. His skin was smooth and tough, and she didn't need to exert any force.

But as soon as she pinched him, a ripple of water appeared in the air, faintly revealing Gao Xian's upper body. Seeing Gao Xian's blurry and helpless expression, Zhou Yuling mischievously smiled. This spell was really fun. However, it was too suitable for peeping and having affairs. Gao Xian wouldn't use it for bad things, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Gao Xian fiercely, warning him not to do anything foolish.

Naturally, Gao Xian was completely bewildered. How could he know what Zhou Yuling was thinking?

Zhou Ye in the main hall didn't see Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the two would meet here, which would be too awkward.

There was no movement in the bedroom either, indicating that Gao Xian had left first or was hiding.

Zhou Ye raised his voice and said, "Ling'er, Senior Nan is here..."

Zhou Yuling in the bedroom made a disgusted face and made a gesture to Gao Xian to keep quiet. Only then did she push the door open and go out.

Gao Xian sat down on a chair and calmly observed the people outside.

Even without the Shadowless Robe, the people on the other side of the wall couldn't see him. But he could see all of them very clearly.

After Zhou Yuling went out, she greeted the elegant young man with indifference. From the way she addressed him, it could be inferred that this Senior Nan was Nan Zhengxing.

The other man was named Wang Kai, probably Nan Zhengxing's junior brother.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Yuling turned around and went back to her room, not hiding her cold and distant attitude.

Zhou Ye forced a smile and explained a few things. Although Nan Zhengxing was somewhat disappointed, he managed to maintain his composure on the surface.

After some conversation between the host and the guest, Nan Zhengxing took his leave. Zhou Ye politely tried to keep them a little longer, but eventually saw them off.

After the people had left, Gao Xian appeared. He couldn't help but say in annoyance, "You made me feel like a thief. Who is this person anyway?"

Zhou Yuling's face was full of apology. "Ah, it's all because of my father. He insisted on climbing the social ladder and said that he wanted to betroth me to Nan Zhengxing. At that time, Nan Zhengxing's father didn't even bother to respond, so this matter should have been over."

She said with disdain, "But now the Nan family is bringing up old matters again. They really have no shame!"

"You're a married woman!"

Gao Xian looked pained as he pointed at Zhou Yuling and lectured her, "How can you still come and seduce me?"

Zhou Yuling's face was full of innocence and grievance. She knew she was in the wrong, so she could only carefully coax Gao Xian, "I really have no relationship with Nan Zhengxing, brother, please don't be angry."

"Hmph, someone else's wife..."

Seeing that Zhou Yuling was about to cry, Gao Xian chuckled and said, "Someone else's wife is even more exciting! Madam Nan, come, let me touch you!"

Only then did Zhou Yuling realize that Gao Xian was joking. She threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes and bit him hard on the mouth.

She pouted in a grievous manner and muttered, "I've already cried, and you're still scaring me! Sob sob..."

Gao Xian was bitten and it hurt a lot, but he could only endure it. Who asked him to provoke trouble? He had to comfort Zhou Yuling, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, I was just teasing you. If anyone dares to snatch my wife, I'll kill that guy tomorrow!"

"Yes, kill him!"

Zhou Yuling also became fierce, but Gao Xian could tell that she was just venting her anger.

Although she was clever and quick-witted, she probably had never killed anyone with her own hands. She wouldn't think of solving problems by killing someone over such a trivial matter.

"Nan Zhengxing is the great-grandson of my master, Nan Pingsong, one of the many great-grandsons! This person is greedy, lustful, and likes to take shortcuts. Such a person can never achieve anything."

Zhou Yuling had only met Nan Zhengxing twice, and she had a very bad impression of him.

She had also privately inquired about him and found that Nan Zhengxing had a very poor character, which made her dislike him even more.

Being greedy and lustful wasn't a big problem, but being fond of taking shortcuts was beyond redemption.

There were no shortcuts on the path of cultivation; one had to rely on diligent practice to make progress. Once someone had the mindset of taking shortcuts, they would no longer have the patience to cultivate slowly.

No matter what they did, such cultivators would never achieve anything.

Although Gao Xian was also smooth-tongued, he could diligently practice alchemy and cultivation, which was completely different from Nan Zhengxing.

Zhou Yuling's view was actually unreasonable, based solely on her likes and dislikes, and then finding reasons to support them.

In this regard, Gao Xian could see it clearly. He felt that Zhou Yuling was thinking too highly of him.

Love between men and women was always difficult to understand. If everything could be calculated clearly, it couldn't be called love.

Back at home, Gao Xian couldn't help but think of Nan Zhengxing.

He was indeed a delicate and handsome man, although not as good-looking as himself. There was a hint of femininity in his eyebrows, or rather, he was a bit effeminate.

If it were in his previous life, effeminate and beautiful young men were quite popular. What a pity.

According to Yuling's words, Nan Zhengxing had a lot of problems. Of course, Gao Xian couldn't see them.

Knowing someone's appearance doesn't mean knowing their heart. Even the Flower-Reflecting Mirror, which was so profound, couldn't see through changes in a person's heart. How could he see through Nan Zhengxing's character at a glance?

Gao Xian's divine sense moved, and the Crimson Flame Sword silently flowed out from his long sleeves, flickering between his fingertips like a swimming fish, exceptionally agile.

This was actually very dangerous; the Crimson Flame Sword was extremely sharp, and one mistake could result in two broken fingers.

Gao Xian had also refined his lung orifices, making his control of the sharp metal energy even more precise. He had a more delicate connection with the Crimson Flame Sword.

Practicing swordsmanship like this was indeed a bit dangerous, but it allowed him to improve his focus and deepen his connection with the Crimson Flame Sword.

The Crimson Flame Sword was also his most valuable magical weapon, and its power was the strongest. With his current divine sense, he could easily control the Crimson Flame Sword within thirty steps.

As for people like Nan Zhengxing, even if they had powerful protective magical weapons, it would be useless because the Crimson Flame Sword was so swift and fierce that it wouldn't give the opponent a chance to activate their magical weapon.

Moreover, it was easy to kill someone with the Invisible Robe.

The problem was that Gao Xian had never thought of resorting to killing.

Nan Zhengxing and Zhou Yuling had a normal relationship, and Zhou Yuling had made it clear that she rejected him. Nan Zhengxing also didn't seem to have the intention of persisting.

It wasn't his style to kill someone for this reason.

But he still needed to investigate this person's situation and see what he was up to.

After finishing his research, Gao Xian leisurely put on his magical weapon and sword, and informed Qi Niang before floating over the wall in the Invisible Robe.

During the day, he had noticed Nan Zhengxing's sachet. At that time, he had activated the Fragrance-Sensing Technique and smelled the fragrance emanating from the sachet.

The fragrance was fresh like the grass and trees after rain, and it had a deep and gentle scent like incense. The fragrance was complex, unique, and long-lasting, clearly possessing the wonderful effects of calming the mind, settling the heart, and dispelling impurities.

By wearing such a sachet, Nan Zhengxing was essentially giving himself a locator.

Gao Xian circled around in the cold night wind and found Nan Zhengxing, as well as his companion, Wang Kai.

The two of them were sitting in a private room at Feihua Courtyard, drinking. There were three beautiful women accompanying them.

It was obvious that they had been drinking for a while, and Nan Zhengxing and Wang Kai were already a little tipsy. The people in the room were disheveled and debauched, creating a lively scene.

Gao Xian inwardly sneered, "This guy knows how to have fun!"

At three in the morning, seeking monthly votes.
