Chapter 57 - 57

Seeing Chu Ge had already placed the Yandao Ring on Su Ling'er, who was smiling happily, Luo Huangjun felt a slight pang of jealousy, but said nothing more.

She merely gave Chu Ge a deep final look before quietly departing.

"Hehe, Junior Brother, you're so good."

Su Ling'er playfully winked at Chu Ge, fondling the Yandao Ring on her hand with great affection.

Noticing that Luo Huangjun had already left,

Su Ling'er's eyes darted around, and she quietly leaned in close to Chu Ge's ear.

"Junior Brother, tell Shijie, what were you doing with Master just now?"

Her eyes held a probing look, and the smile on her lips was like that of a little devil.

Chu Ge subtly glanced at the pair of ample bosoms pressed against his arm, then spoke, "If Shijie wishes to know, she can go ask Master for a clear explanation."

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ling'er let out a delicate hmph, her rosy cheeks puffing slightly.

It was precisely because she didn't dare to ask Luo Huangjun that she chose to ask Chu Ge after Luo Huangjun left.

She hadn't expected Chu Ge to be so cunning, giving her no opportunity at all.

"Stinky Junior Brother!"

Dropping this remark, Su Ling'er departed.

Chu Ge looked with some regret at the arm that had just been pressed by those bosoms, secretly sighing to himself, "Shijie truly has a broad mind."

Afterward, Chu Ge no longer delayed. He first returned to his room to change clothes. Although spiritual energy cleansing had left no scent or trace,

Chu Ge still felt a bit awkward going out dressed like that.

So he simply changed into a fresh set of clothes.

Only then did he leave again, spent some time finding a new location to complete his check-in, and then returned to Taihuang Hall to continue cultivating.

In a flash, several more days passed.

Chu Ge's speed in opening Star Apertures had greatly increased due to the northern dipper profound crystal. In just a few days, he was already nearing the Minor Completion realm.

On this day, the Taihuang Holy Land welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

Inside Taihuang Hall.

Luo Huangjun sat in the main seat, her gaze coldly sweeping over those below.

Below her were four people: a young man, a middle-aged man, and two elders.

"Speak, what is the purpose of your visit today?"

Luo Huangjun's clear, cold voice echoed through the hall.

Upon hearing this, the two elders and the middle-aged man all frowned.

Only the young man maintained a smile, his gaze fixed on Luo Huangjun, with an occasional flicker of fervor in his eyes that others could hardly detect.

"Luo Huangjun, mind your attitude. With two Elder Luos present, how dare you be so disrespectful?"

The middle-aged man's face was indignant as he stared directly at Luo Huangjun.

"Attitude? How laughable. This Holy Master is the Holy Lord of Taihuang. Must I then bow and scrape before you?"

"Rather, it is you who came uninvited, barging straight into this Holy Master's Taihuang Hall, treating my Taihuang Holy Land as nothing. How audacious! Were it not for the sake of our kinship, I would have killed you all on the spot."

Luo Huangjun spoke coldly, her eyes sharp as blades, glinting with specks of cold light, instantly making the atmosphere in the hall tense. An invisible oppressive aura emanated from her.

"You!"

The middle-aged man was furious and was about to speak again, but was stopped.

"Qingfeng! Stand down!"

Among the two elders, one dressed in gray robes spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man named Luo Qingfeng's face flushed red, and he could only retreat with an unwilling gaze.

"Huangjun, the huanglong seal concerns our Luo Family Bloodline. It is inappropriate for it to remain in the hands of an outsider now!"

Another elder, dressed in white robes, spoke, his tone full of admonishment.

"Hmph! Outsider? Who is an outsider? That is my Luo Huangjun's Personal Disciple!"

"The huanglong seal reappeared because of him. I decided to leave this item in his hands. What's inappropriate about that?!"

Upon hearing this, the two elders' expressions also darkened.

"Luo Huangjun! Our clan's Bloodline has been continuously weakening over the years precisely because it lacked the huanglong seal. Now that the huanglong seal has reappeared, it must return to our clan, no matter what!"

The white-robed elder spoke in a deep voice, his gaze gradually turning unfriendly.

"We came here to discuss this properly with you. Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

"Today, you must agree, whether you want to or not! You have no say in this!"

"I know you have abilities and extraordinary strength, but don't think that just because you killed a Luo Tianhai, everyone in the Luo Family is as useless as him. With the two of us here, you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"

The gray-robed elder's voice was low, his eyes glinting with ferocity, and a surging aura permeated his surroundings, vast as an abyss or a sea!

"Good! I'd like to see what methods you have. This Holy Master has not yet settled the matter of you attacking my Disciple that day. Might as well resolve it all today!"

Luo Huangjun slowly stood up, looking down at the four from above. The atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point!

The two Elder Luos also stood their ground, their aura overflowing, their hair and beards flying, and the situation in the hall instantly became tense.

"Elder Luo."

At this moment, the young man who had remained silent spoke.

He slowly walked to the side of the two Elder Luos, then cupped his hands towards Luo Huangjun, revealing a benevolent smile and saying, "Elder Sister Huangjun."

Luo Huangjun frowned upon seeing this.

The young man's demeanor reminded her of her 'Disciple', who also often carried such a gentle smile.

However, the feeling the two gave her was completely different.

Chu Ge made her feel like a spring breeze, subtly and silently increasing her favorability.

This person's smile, however, gave her a sense of falseness, and the hidden greed and fervor in his eyes filled her with disgust.

Although her 'Disciple's' gaze towards her was not exactly pure and flawless,

And occasionally even held rebellious thoughts.

But he displayed them openly, never bothering to conceal them like the person before her. Therefore, Luo Huangjun had never rejected any of Chu Ge's thoughts.

In just a moment of comparison, Luo Huangjun was filled with loathing for this so-called 'clan brother' before her.

'What is this thing, daring to use the same smile as my Disciple?'

Luo Huangjun thought, her emotionless gaze sweeping over the person before her, and she spoke coldly, "Call me Holy Lord."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Luo Lingtian, aren't you? The scheme to seize the huanglong seal and attack my Disciple, none of it can be separated from you. Or rather, were all these your ideas?"

As she spoke, Luo Huangjun's eyes grew colder, gradually turning into threads of killing intent.

The smile on Luo Lingtian's face instantly froze.

Not only because Luo Huangjun showed him no familial affection, but also because everything Luo Huangjun said was true!

Using the ancestral legacy in the Taihuang Holy Land, silently setting up Restrictions, attacking Chu Ge, and plotting for the huanglong seal—all of it was indeed orchestrated by him.

"Clan…"

The word had barely left his mouth when he noticed Luo Huangjun's cold gaze, and Luo Lingtian quickly corrected himself.

"Holy Lord Luo, regarding the huanglong seal, it was indeed the clan members who were too eager, which led to such an overstepping action."

"Elder Brother Feipeng, Uncle Qingyu, and even Elder Luo Tianhai, were all momentarily overwhelmed by the joy of seeing the huanglong seal again, which led to their overstepping actions."

"Now they have all paid the price for it. I hope the Holy Lord can understand the hardships the Family has endured over the years in searching for the huanglong seal. After all, we are all kinsmen. If we speak openly and clear up the misunderstanding, everything will be easier."

Luo Lingtian spoke unhurriedly, the cultivation of a noble Family, coupled with his excellent appearance, truly gave him the demeanor of a graceful Gongzi.
