Chapter 450: Qing'er, Qingluan, and Sister Ziyan!
With a wave of Wu Tian's hand, a spatial rift was torn open.
From within the rift, three figures stepped out, all of them women. Their arrival caused an uproar among the crowd below, as two of them were well known figures across the continent.
One of them, a young woman in a cyan robe, appeared petite, yet her expression remained distant and cold.
"Qingluan???"
Venerable Feng gasped in shock upon seeing her.
"Master!"
The young woman exclaimed in joy upon spotting Venerable Feng.
Indeed, she was none other than Mu Qingluan, Venerable Feng's disciple and the senior disciple of the Falling Star Pavilion the very woman who had been captured by Wu Tian and confined in a small room.
Now, standing beside Wu Tian, the goddess of countless young geniuses had shattered their dreams in an instant.
Since she had been captured and was still alive, there could only be one explanation she had become Wu Tian's woman!
Even if she wasn't his woman, she was at least a maid or personal attendant, destined to be at his mercy. Either way, she would never be their goddess again.
Dreams crumbled. Their goddess had now become the woman of a Dou Venerate. Her status had soared beyond imagination.
"Wu wu wu~"
Some even shed tears.
Mu Qingluan glanced at the crowd below, instantly understanding their thoughts. She, however, paid them no mind after all, they were never worthy of her to begin with. They were nothing more than toads lusting after a swan.
Being misunderstood? So what?
Her destiny had always been to marry a powerful man. If she accepted this arrangement, her family's alliance with Cai Lin Pavilion would only be beneficial.
However… getting past her master might be tricky!
Thinking of this, a faint blush crept onto Mu Qingluan's cheeks, her shy expression catching Venerable Feng's eye.
Having dealt with countless women, Venerable Feng instantly understood his disciple's heart had already strayed!
What should this old man do now?
Cai Lin Pavilion had never provoked the Falling Star Pavilion, and Mu Qingluan seemed to be willingly accepting her fate. If he were to pick a fight with Cai Lin Pavilion now, wouldn't that be beneath his dignity?
Wouldn't that make him no different from Venerable Yellow Spring, who preyed on the weak to strengthen himself?
His mind buzzed with thoughts. If Mu Qingluan insisted that nothing had happened, what could he do? Even if something had, what woman would admit it?
Besides, Mu Qingluan's status was not ordinary… Ah, life was hard for an old man!
The situation was no easier for the event's host, Venerable Lei of Wind Lightning Pavilion.
This middle aged man, who appeared around forty or fifty, seemed to have aged a decade in an instant. His gaze landed on the tallest woman among the three. His expression froze.
"What is the meaning of this? Feng Qing'er!"
As an ally of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, Venerable Lei's mind buzzed. The princess of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had been captured and brought back unharmed.
Was this not an announcement to the entire continent that Feng Qing'er had been… subdued by the master of Cai Lin Pavilion?
How was he supposed to explain this to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?
Venerable Lei's expression twisted in rage, his stance hinting at a battle to the death with Wu Tian.
As for the other two elderly men, their gazes were already filled with killing intent. Their disciples had been slaughtered by Wu Tian, and even though their disciples had been at fault, the enmity between them was now set in stone.
After all, no matter the reason, avenging their disciples was a duty they could not ignore!
"Venerable Yan, what is the meaning of this?"
The refined and elegant Venerable Feng looked at Wu Tian, his expression filled with doubt.
Wu Tian smiled faintly, raising his hand slightly to send Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan toward their respective masters.
"As I said before, I have no other intentions. I merely came to return them. Besides that, I am here to participate in the Four Pavilion Grand Tournament. This is Cai Lin Pavilion's contestant her name is Ziyan!"
Hearing this, Venerable Feng looked at Mu Qingluan beside him. As he expected, her heart had already turned toward Wu Tian. She even nodded slightly and smiled.
"Master, Venerable Yan never mistreated us. He merely kept Qing'er and me in the same room."
"He provided us with delicious food and even gifted us sixth and seventh tier pills. I've already broken through to the Dou King realm and become a Dou Ancestor!"
Venerable Feng: Heh~ Heh~
Qing'er???
These two top tier female prodigies, once bitter enemies, had only been gone for a few months, yet now they were calling each other affectionately by name…
Such intimacy could only mean one thing there was a man between them!
And she claimed Venerable Yan had gifted them sixth and seventh tier pills? Would any man be this generous without getting something in return?
"Qingluan, as long as you're safe, step back now."
Venerable Feng's voice was calm but heavy.
Meanwhile, Feng Qing'er had said almost the same thing as Mu Qingluan, even addressing her as "Qingluan" with great familiarity!
Venerable Lei felt completely helpless. What Feng Qing'er did was none of his business, but after being captured, how could she stand so firmly by the man who had taken her?
Was she planning to unite the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan with Cai Lin Pavilion?
Venerable Lei felt like he was sitting on needles. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. The only direct way would be to destroy Cai Lin Pavilion.
However, if killing a Dou Venerate were so easy, he wouldn't be a Dou Venerate!
His gaze shifted from Wu Tian to the last girl the purple haired one. She was Cai Lin Pavilion's representative?
Could she also be a Dou Ancestor?
To be chosen as their representative, her strength had to be unquestionable.
"Master, Sister Ziyan is much stronger than me. She will undoubtedly win the championship this time!"
Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er spoke in unison.
"Mmp…"
"Sister???"
The other Venerables immediately understood this so called "sister" wasn't a disciple of Cai Lin Pavilion; she was one of the Pavilion Master's women!
Venerable Lei's expression darkened, but he could only endure. As the host, he had to maintain appearances.
Forcing a stiff smile, he said, "Since Venerable Yan is here to participate in the Four Pavilion Grand Tournament, my Wind Lightning Pavilion welcomes you. Please take a seat."
As the host, he had no choice but to maintain decorum. The other Venerables, Sword Venerable and Venerable Yellow Spring, could only remain silent with grim expressions.
Although they wanted to strike immediately, if they rejected Wu Tian outright before the tournament even began, it would damage the reputation of the Four Pavilion Grand Tournament.
After all, as hosts, they had to show some level of tolerance, or it would be a great humiliation.
"Hmph~"
Wu Tian descended gracefully with Queen Medusa, his presence making the Venerables' expressions even darker.
Once the tournament was over, they would make sure he never left Thunder Mountain alive!
