Ascending, Do Not Disturb!

Chapter 98: Inhibition

Kong Hou heard something this absurd for the first time. She looked at Huan Zhong and then at the female cultivator of Joyful Sect, her head ringing. There seemed to be someone banging a drum and cymbals by her ear. Her mind was in disarray.

The female cultivator saw that Kong Hou did not speak and thought the other was still offended by her words. She said, “This path friend and Miss are a match made in heaven; this one saw incorrectly.”

She had not noticed previously but now found this young girl, although young, had cultivation equal to hers. A cultivator with such talent would not be a disciple of a minor sect.

Even the best-looking man was not worthy enough for her to offend a disciple of a major sect.

Kong Hou waved her hand. She feared if she listened to the other’s unreliable words like this, she would really blush in front of everyone.

She turned to look at Huan Zhong, and then at her hand pulling at his sleeve. Her fingers slowly, slowly let go…

Noticing her movement, Huan Zhong’s eyes dimmed slightly.

In the next moment, Kong Hou grabbed his sleeve again.
“Huan Zhong, let’s go.” Kong Hou’s face was flushed, full of the innocence and liveliness of a young girl.

Whatever others saw was their own matter. She was very happy being with Huan Zhong. She was comfortable with their way of interacting. If she changed because of another’s words, then she would be slighting herself.

Master said life was a long process of cultivation. If one slighted oneself and the people around them due to the gazes of other people, then there was no meaning in immortality.

The female cultivator heard the words “Huan Zhong” and her brows moved slightly. Supposedly, Spirit Master Huan Zhong of Radiance Sect and Celestial Kong Hou of Splendid Cloud Sect were travelling together and had helped many people.

Spirit Master Huan Zhong was a member of Radiance Sect, but no one had heard of him before and no outsider had seen his appearance. But this man in front of her was truly too perfect, so she did not hesitate to decide he was Spirit Master Huan Zhong of Radiance Sect.

So Spirit Master Huan Zhong and Celestial Kong Hou had such feelings between them. Thinking about how so many people had gossiped about Splendid Cloud Sect and Radiance Sect, she felt embarrassed. Secretly discussing rumors was called joining in the fun. But when facing the people concerned, talking about the others’ sect was finding trouble for oneself.

Fortunately, these two were open-minded and had not erupted on hearing this. But someone had talked about some rumors that displeased Spirit Master Huan Zhong.

“Are you Spirit Master Huan Zhong and Celestial Kong Hou?”

“No, you have the wrong person.” Kong Hou did not want to cause trouble, shook her head and said, “We are just passing by.”

The female cultivator: “…”

“Ha.” Someone from the crowd downstairs laughed. “You see a good-looking person and think that they are disciples from a major sect. Do the major sects accept disciples based on appearance?”

The female cultivator thought, who was so daring they saw this young master attack and still dared to speak?

She looked back and saw four people walk in the door. They wore similar robes embroidered with phoenix patterns. She immediately did not dare to talk. In all of the cultivation world, there was no other sect than Nine Phoenix Sect who would embroider phoenix patterns on the robes of their disciples.

Nine Phoenix Sect was powerful, equal to Clear Dawn Sect. Their disciples were proud and thought highly of their sect’s reputation. People dared to discuss Splendid Cloud Sect and gossip but not Nine Phoenix Sect.
