Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 188: Chapter 158: Life and Death Arena, Am I Angry? I’m Pretending?

Xu Qing chuckled lightly, and instantly the cave mansion fell silent.

“Who’s there!”

A sharp, melodious voice rang out as Yayun rushed out of the cave mansion, sword in hand, facing Xu Qing.

“Saint Xu?”

Seeing the young man smiling as he watched her, Yayun frowned.

She inwardly scolded herself for being careless, thinking that Zhu Qin’s cave mansion was usually unvisited and since it was in the opponent’s cave mansion, she hadn’t activated the Isolation Array, and unexpectedly, Saint Xu had heard everything.

The opponent’s power was above hers, and his status was even higher, which made things difficult now.

Just as Yayun worried whether he had heard the earlier conversation and considered whether to use her beauty against him once more to shut Xu Qing up.

Xu Qing spoke first, “It seems both of you are quite dissatisfied with Fairy Liu.”

Upon hearing this, Yayun’s expression stiffened momentarily.

It seemed he not only heard but also guessed who they were talking about.

That wasn’t difficult to deduce.

Zhu Qin slowly stepped forward, appearing quite composed.

She had already sided with Young Master Gu, and her contact with Yayun was out of necessity.

She needed to maintain a good relationship, so she had a chance to deceive Yayun out of the Heavenly Cold Sect and take her head to show loyalty.

“Saint Xu, don’t misunderstand, we were not discussing Junior Sister Liu.”

“Why not follow me back to the cave mansion, and I’ll explain everything to you in detail.”

Yayun smiled charmingly and moved forward to grasp Xu Qing’s sleeve, leading him into the cave mansion.

From her expression and seductive gaze, her intentions were clear.

Even Xu Qing hadn’t expected such a development.

However, he had no desire to waste time and energy on her.

“Whether there’s a misunderstanding or not, it isn’t important.”

“But, junior sisters, don’t be too nervous.”

“I’ve come here today, perhaps I can solve some of your troubles?”

Xu Qing casually freed his sleeve, smiling as he spoke.

Yet, when he looked at Yayun, his eyes flashed with disdain.

What status do you have to try this with me?

If it were Liu Qingqing, naturally, I would have been more than willing, but you, a failure, dare to think you’re worthy of me, a Saint Heir?

“Oh?”

Zhu Qin and Yayun were momentarily stunned, even Zhu Qin looked at Saint Xu with some surprise.

“Speaking here may easily lead to eavesdroppers.”

“Why not talk in the cave mansion?”

Xu Qing slightly bowed his head.

“No need to worry, usually no one comes here.”

Just as Zhu Qin finished speaking, she saw Saint Xu smile meaningfully and point at himself.

Instantly, the two of them were at a loss for words.

Indeed…

They simply let him into Zhu Qin’s cave mansion and activated the Isolation Barrier.

Xu Qing then slowly said, “The two of you must have heard, our Green Sun Sect has always had a tradition of Saint Heir and Saintess marrying.”

Seeing both lightly nod, he continued, “I have long admired Fairy Liu and, although we’ve never met before, just hearing various messages about her made me deeply infatuated, unable to extricate myself.”

“I came here to the Heavenly Cold Sect primarily to see Fairy Liu, besides looking for a friend.”

“But… alas!”

“I arrived a step too late, Fairy Liu has already married Young Master Gu.”

Xu Qing’s tone and demeanor showed no sign of falsehood.

Especially when he mentioned the words ‘Young Master Gu,’ he almost gritted his teeth.

Both could hear how much resentment he held.

However, what did this have to do with what he said earlier about solving their troubles?

Since he loved Junior Sister Liu so much, shouldn’t he be telling her about this, seeking his own punishment?

“Then, Saint Xu, what do you mean now?”

Zhu Qin couldn’t grasp his intention and could only frown and ask.

“It’s simple.”

“Young Master Gu stole the love of others, and I know I no longer have a chance, nor will I force it.”

“But… this indignation, I must express.”

“And you junior sisters, you lost in the Saintess contest also because of Young Master Gu.”

“Ultimately, everything stems from him, don’t you resent that?”

“I may not hold on to any feelings for Fairy Liu, but don’t you want to teach Young Master Gu a lesson?”

Xu Qing seriously revealed his true intentions.

Since he didn’t know how much resentment the two held towards Liu Qingqing, he naturally couldn’t mention that this was to kidnap Liu Qingqing.

Even if the two were resentful, he couldn’t disclose this matter.

Otherwise, these two might not dare to help, and if the sect blamed them later, they would undoubtedly die.

“What do you propose, Saint Xu?”

Yayun’s eyes sparkled, saying she didn’t hate would be a lie.

She had put in so much but still lost to Liu Qingqing.

Just as Xu Qing claimed, ultimately, it was all because of Young Master Gu from the Gu Family!

But whether it was Liu Qingqing or Young Master Gu, their current status wasn’t something she could provoke.

But Xu Qing was different; his status and realm were not inferior to them.

“It’s simple; I hope to set up an arena outside the Heavenly Cold Sect.”

“I want a duel with Young Master Gu, and if he agrees, whether it’s just to a point or a matter of life and death, I don’t care, even if it means suppressing to the same realm, that’s fine.”

Xu Qing, seeing her hooked, hesitated no longer and directly stated his true purpose.

“No need for trouble, our Heavenly Cold Sect has its own arena for duels.”

Hearing this, Yayun immediately became eager, somewhat secretly thrilled at the thought of suppressing Young Master Gu.

She then expressed her willingness to help, just hoping to request use of the arena.
