Chapter 2833: A Special Guest

The man who appeared in Murong Bing’s mind was a handsome purple-clad young man with an extraordinary air about him; the man was none other than Duan Ling Tian. She sighed inwardly as she thought to herself, ‘I wonder if he looks forward to meeting me.’

The reason Murong Bing had taken an interest in the Alchemy Conference was not just due to her best friend, Zhou Shu Qiu, it was mostly because she wanted to see Duan Ling Tian whom she missed dearly and who was also attending the Alchemy Conference. He was currently the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland who was recognized by the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the sect.

When Murong Bing had first learned about this, she was shocked beyond words. She did not expect that he would grow so strong in such a short time. In just a blink of an eye, he had left that remote place where they met and went to the center of the Wasteland and entered one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. She did not think she would be able to meet Duan Ling Tian again so she asked Zhou Shu Qiu to look out for him.

“I will find you… The woman I slept with can only be mine alone!” These were the words Duan Ling Tian had said after she left. In fact, she did not really leave. She had hidden at the side and quietly watched his reaction after he thought she had left. It was at that time that she overheard his words. She had thought he was too domineering and did not take his words to heart. Who knew after she returned to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, he and his words would appear constantly in her mind? When she learned her senior aunt had sent someone to kill him, she could not help but worry. Thus, she had asked Zhou Shu Qiu who so happened to be in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect at that time to protect the man after she returned to the Wasteland.

Murong Bing sighed inwardly again, ‘Perhaps, you’ve already forgotten about me…’ She heard from Zhou Shu Qiu that there was a peerless beauty who followed Duan Ling Tian around. According to Zhou Shu Qiu, the peerless beauty not only had a close relationship with him, but they also often cultivated together in the same room for months on end. With all these in mind, she did not think they had a platonic relationship.

“We’ll arrive after passing through two more streets ahead,” the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect said to Murong Bing.

The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was one of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions so they were given a good residence in Alchemy City, similar to the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

After the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s group settled down, they returned to their independent courtyards one after another.

In the end, only Lyu Luo and Murong Bing did not leave. They stood in the courtyard of the Sect Leader Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, waiting for everyone to leave.

“Senior aunt… Why don’t you bring us to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s residence?” Lyu Luo asked excitedly.

“Why? Do you want to meet that woman from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to see if she’s more beautiful than your Third Senior Sister?” the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect asked as she shook her head.

“Yes.” Lyu Luo did not deny it. She nodded and said, “I just want to see how beautiful that woman is… Even Sister Shu Qiu said she is more beautiful than the Third Senior Sister.”

“Sister Shu Qiu is your Third Senior Sister’s best friend so she has no reason to side with an outsider over your Third Senior Sister.”

This matter had been on Lyu Luo’s mind as well during their journey to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s residence in Alchemy City. Zhou Shu Qiu was Murong Bing’s best friend. Zhou Shu Qiu would not arbitrarily side with an outsider and say that the other woman was more beautiful than Murong Bing. This made her even more curious about the other woman’s appearance.

The Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect did not respond to Lyu Luo. Instead, she looked at Murong Bing and asked, “Bing’er, do you want to see her as well?”

“No, senior aunt” Murong Bing shook her head. Since that woman was here, Duan Ling Tian must be here as well. If she went to have a look at the woman, she would definitely run into him. What would he think when he saw her? Would he not think she was overenthusiastic? She would never do something that would trample on her pride.

Lyu Luo had been looking at Murong Bing expectantly. After all, if Murong Bing wanted to see the woman, the sect leader would definitely bring them over to have a look at that woman. She began to feel anxious when she heard Murong Bing rejecting the sect leader’s offer. “Third Senior Sister, aren’t you curious at all about how that woman from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect looks like? I don’t believe you’re not curious at all…”

“I’m not curious.” Murong Bing shook her head. She said, slightly angry, “Lyu Luo, I’m going to rest now. Are you coming? If not, I’ll go ahead on my own.” After that, she bade farewell to the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect before she turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, the innocent Lyu Luo cried out anxiously, “Third Senior Sister, wait for me! I’m coming with you!” She did not waste any time and hurried after Murong Bing.

After Murong Bing and Lyu Luo had left, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect frowned slightly as she muttered under her breath, ‘There’s something off with Bing’er today… She’s extremely adamant and decisive about not meeting the woman from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. How strange.” She was quite observant, being able to see that something was amiss with Murong Bing solely from Murong Bing’s reactions. However, she would never imagine the reason Murong Bing was acting strangely was due to the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Most importantly, not even in her wildest dreams could she imagine that the man whom she wanted to kill for taking Murong Bing’s innocence away and had escaped with a Shadow Void Escaping Talisman was the Chief Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

…

Murong Bing and Lyu Luo shared a courtyard that had two rooms. When they entered the courtyard, they entered their respective rooms one after another.

Lyu Luo said on the bed, resting her face in her hands. She muttered to herself with a pout, “What’s wrong with Third Senior Sister? Why did she tell the senior aunt that she doesn’t want to see that woman?”

Lyu Luo was clearly frustrated that Murong Bing had rejected the sect leader’s offer to bring her to visit the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s residence.

After a while, she rose to her feet. Her eyes gleamed as she said, “Hmph! Since the sect leader and Third Senior Sister don’t want to visit the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s people, I’ll just go on my own. I’m the last disciple of the second guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Moreover, my senior granduncle is a Ten Directions Celestial Duke and an elite in the Six Southeastern Regions… They wouldn’t dare to turn me away even if they want to!” Then, she quickly left the room.

…

At the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s residence in Alchemy City.

“Master Duan!” Situ Ming cried out anxiously in Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard.

Duan Ling Tian had just refined a prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, when he heard Situ Ming’s voice. He quickly put away the Overarching Heaven Pill and walked out of his room. “Master Situ, what’s the matter?”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian walked out, he saw the urgent expression on Situ Ming’s face. It seemed like Situ Ming had something important to tell him.

“Master Duan, you finally came out… I’ve been waiting for a long time.” Situ Ming sighed in relief when he saw Duan Ling Tian. His anxiety had also eased.

“What happened?” Duan Ling Tian asked, perplexed.

“Nothing happened. However, an uninvited guest came half a day ago and demanded to see Miss Huan’er. Naturally, we didn’t agree to it even though the visitor has somewhat of a special background. The Old Ancestor sent me over to ask for your opinion,” Situ Ming said.

“Who is it?” Duan Ling Tian raised his brows.

“The guest claims to be the last disciple of Dan Feng, the second Guardian of Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. She said the Ten Directions Celestial Duke of Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is her senior granduncle. She wants to meet Miss Huan’er because she has heard about Miss Huan’er’s peerless beauty,” Situ Ming continued to say.

Duan Ling Tian seemed to only hear the first part of Situ Ming’s words. “Master Situ… You said that she claims to be the last disciple of the second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, Dan Feng? Are you sure?” His eyes were bright as he spoke.

“Well, that’s what she said.” Situ Ming nodded.

“Take me to her!” Duan Ling Tian said urgently.

“Master Duan, the person she wants to see is Miss Huan’er…” Situ Ming smiled wryly.

“No matter. If she wants to see Huan’er, she’ll need my permission,” Duan Ling Tian said calmly. Although his tone was calm, an indescribable emotion flashed in the depths of his eyes. If he was not mistaken, Murong Bing was also the direct disciple of Wang Dan Feng, the second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!
