Chapter 139

“I am Wei Yuanzhong of the Anyun Summit. Qin Xiumo is my junior brother,” the male cultivator said with a constant smile, maintaining a friendly attitude towards Meng Qi.

Meng Qi looked at him, and he looked at her in return, wearing a smile that appeared relaxed, as if he was simply inviting her as a guest. However, she knew that as soon as she had any intention of turning away, he would catch up immediately.

Surprisingly, Meng Qi wasn’t particularly worried. They were in Jingyuetian’s territory, the strongest spell sect in the Three Thousand Worlds. Qin Xiumo’s sect was undoubtedly strong in the Southern Realm, especially with their dual cultivation of sword and spell, but compared to the Jingyuetian, they were still lacking.

And Meng Qi was currently a guest invited by the Jingyuetian sect leader. If Wei Yuanzhong wanted to do something against her, Yan Shunbei would definitely not stand still and allow it to happen.

Meanwhile, the young male cultivator who had been thrown down by Wei Yuanzhong earlier had also managed to stand up by now. Although he hadn’t been injured in the end, he still looked disheveled after the fall, with his blue robe covered in dust. His originally handsome face now appeared somewhat dispirited, especially with a few strands of hair falling over his forehead, making him look even more dejected.

At this moment, Lu Qingran had also jumped down from the restaurant building. She glanced warily at Wei Yuanzhong, then took a brief look at Meng Qi before hurriedly rushing to the young male cultivator. “Are you okay?” She asked with a worried look, her face filled with concern. “Are you injured?”

The man didn’t answer. He lowered his eyelids in silence; his gaze shifting towards Meng Qi.

Lu Qingran stood in front of the man, as if shielding him with her slender figure, and then turned to look at her former junior sister. “Ju—… Junior Sister Meng…” she murmured, her lips opening and closing as she struggled to find her words.

Meng Qi cast a brief glance at Lu Qingran. Her gaze was somewhat cold, and although she didn’t say anything, Lu Qingran couldn’t help but blush in embarrassment.

“Junior Sister Meng,” Gritting her teeth, Lu Qingran took a deep breath, as if mustering the courage to speak again. She then cupped her hands and bowed slightly to Meng Qi. “The incident just now was sudden, and I had no choice but to call for your help. Everything happened because of me. Please don’t blame him.”

As Lu Qingran spoke, she moved to the side to better shield the male cultivator behind her.

Meng Qi still didn’t look at Lu Qingran this time. All her attention was on Wei Yuanzhong. The other party now simply folded his arms around his chest, watching this scene with a smile, as if enjoying a performance.

“It’s all my fault…” Lu Qingran looked around. Seeing that the two ignored her, she mustered her courage and spoke louder: “This incident started because of me, so… so please…”

“How is it, Fellow Daoist Meng?” Wei Yuanzhong didn’t even wait for Lu Qingran to finish speaking. Or rather, he was completely ignoring her. All his attention was on Meng Qi, easily noticing when she reached for the storage pouch at her waist.

“Don’t worry. I have no intention of making it difficult for you. It’s just that our master has been searching for my junior brother for a long time, and he’s quite worried. As long as my junior brother appears, we naturally won’t stop Fellow Daoist Meng from continuing your journey.”
