CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 297: LOVE RIVALS CLASH AT FIRST SIGHT [TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE]

Wu Yaizu looked at her, feeling that things had gone too far.

Qin Ming naturally understood what he meant. Ultimately, the Immortal Control Sect coveted the Luofu Sect’s Essential Scripture and their sect’s treasured item; who was used for the marriage alliance didn’t matter.

All of this was just to make it look good on the surface, to give the Luofu Sect a way out.

Of course, Helian ZhaoYu himself possibly did want to marry Li Qingyue.

"These are all decisions made by the old folks above, unrelated to me. Just don’t hate me for it. Of course, as a direct lineage member of the Helian family, I am indeed enjoying the benefits within the clan. As for us, there’s still a chance we could cooperate. I’ll pay for the tea; you guys take your time. I’m leaving now."

Helian Yaoqing lazily got up, covering her red lips with a hand to stifle a small yawn, and gracefully left.

"In this situation, unless heaven takes the old man of the Helian family..." Xiang Yiwu whispered, or "the Past Tathagata" is still in the world, and he is willing to take action.

Shallow Night, in the Mountain City, Fire Spring was gentle, with numerous natural sceneries faintly glowing. After Qin Ming walked out of the Golden Maple Forest, he was also pondering some issues.

Strictly speaking, he and Li Qingyue had not yet reached the step of being lovers, just feeling at ease when spending time together, having many topics in common.

It’s much like two people on the path of cultivation walking hand in hand towards the peak.

Currently, he absolutely did not want to see Li Qingyue show fatigue, being arranged by fate, leaving her originally splendid life path.

Li Qingyue said she would solve everything on her own, but Qin Ming truly couldn’t see any way to break the situation.

"If it truly comes to this, sorry, but I’ll check thoroughly around the Black Dragon Pond to see if I can dig up the Ancestor Master. Alas, forget it, most likely it won’t work, the Ancestor Master couldn’t survive until now, and it’s too rebellious."

Wu Yaizu and Xiang Yiwu followed behind him, their hearts also heavy, as that old monster in the Immortal Control Sect who had one foot in the Seventh Realm was truly terrifying and insoluble.

In Mountain City, all the roads were not straight. The ground was paved with green stones, winding and twisting, paths surrounded ancient trees, strange stones, etc.

Up ahead, at the bend of the road, a man with a head full of green hair appeared. Beside him was a woman in black clothing, slightly cold and elegant, with a hint of noble aura.

Qin Ming immediately recognized the man as Cui He, someone he once called Fourth Uncle, proficient in the Yimu Scripture, and also practicing the Zhu Shi Scripture.

He was also not unfamiliar with the woman beside Cui He, named Cui Shuning, whom he used to call Aunt.

In the past, these two had specifically gone to Chixia City to find him. Without Meng Xinghai’s protection, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Qin Ming had no good feelings towards these two; they once arranged for Yu Zhuohan to battle him, and the Yimu Scripture was won from these two.

Upon seeing him, Cui He burst into laughter, acting very familiar and close, saying, "Qin Ming, what a coincidence. You’ve got guts, kid, still daring to come here to follow the expansion? Fourth Uncle already knows about your affairs, do you want me to find someone to help mediate?"

Cui Shuning also cast a faint glance over, but didn’t speak, looking dignified and elegant.

Qin Ming did not want to see them, feeling no goodwill, so he did not bother to be polite or say much, directly stating: "Cui Si, you keep your distance from me."

"Further rebellion, how dare you speak to your elders this way!" Cui He rebuked.

"Throw them both aside for me." Qin Ming instructed First Jingjing and Second Lingling.

When in Chixia City, he called them uncle and aunt out of good manners, just for appearances.

Since being targeted by the old woman of the Cui family, falling into the Fourth Forbidden Land, surviving the calamity, he couldn’t be bothered to dissemble anymore. Given the right time and place, meeting would certainly lead to a life-and-death confrontation.

Just as on the Highland outside the Third Forbidden Zone, during the hunt for demons and the competition for Auspicious Beast Blood, he fought the Cui family to the death, killing many of their direct lineage members.

Qin Ming noticed that the two Sun Elf Clan members were hesitating, which displeased him. Looking towards them, they finally moved forward to press on.

"Alright, you’ve got some nerve, kid!" Cui He said, embarrassed and angry.

Cui Shuning also said coldly, "Qin Ming, you ill-fated one, being targeted by the Helian family... the outcome is predictable!"

"Still not leaving?" Qin Ming said coldly.

Ultimately, the Cui siblings were quite embarrassed, not being a match for the two Sun Elves, dared not spout any more cruel words, and hurriedly left in panic.

Afterward, Qin Ming and his two companions encountered many acquaintances in the Mountain City, including some nobles from Great Yu.

Back when the South Heavenly Gate battle ended, these people had made every effort to woo the three of them, offering fine wines at Guanghan Palace, and afterward often tried to invite them to banquets.

Though now encountered, these people were still polite, but clearly maintaining a boundary, with an obvious sense of distance; as for approaching and wooing, that was unthinkable.

Through a series of events, Qin Ming further felt the influence of the Immortal Control Sect and the Helian family.

"This has me feeling very frustrated, extremely uncomfortable, the frustration brought by the Helian family hard to dissolve in my chest!" Wu Yaizu said indignantly.

A moment later, an Immortal Path Disciple came to deliver a message.

After reading it, Qin Ming flicked his fingers and shattered it.

The Immortal Path Disciple, seeing this, widened his eyes in astonishment and turned away immediately.

"Whose letter?" Xiang Yiwu inquired.

"Helian ZhaoYu." Qin Ming now no longer wished to meet this person, fundamentally because it was those people above whose will was playing a role; seeing this person or not changed nothing.

However, though he wished not to meet this person, the other appeared on the path ahead.

Helian ZhaoYu once liked wearing black, but recently was always clad in white. Knowing he harbored no good intentions, his immaculate attire appeared glaringly conspicuous.
