CHAPTER 245: CHAPTER 232 I CAN DUAL CULTIVATE WITH MU NANQING

The Ling Tian Sword Master seemed to have discerned Shi Nian’s thoughts, his expression also became somewhat solemn: "That anomaly had a few moments that were very obvious. Now, the slightly knowledgeable people in the Sect should be able to guess Nanqing’s predicament. Just now, Bai Hua, Huo Lie, and others have already sent messages to inquire, to which I only said that Nanqing had overcome the difficulty, without mentioning anything else. But this matter, I’m afraid it can’t be concealed."

When a cultivator reaches a certain stage of cultivation, there is a possibility they might experience deviation. This is no secret among cultivators.

Mu Nanqing is also widely known for her Ice Cold Physique, which makes the likelihood of experiencing deviation much higher than that of ordinary people. Combined with that anomaly, most people can guess the cause.

"Nanqing, you now appear to be without any major issue?" The Ling Tian Sword Master couldn’t help but ask.

The matter of deviation is extremely dangerous. He was outside, anxious and full of worry, but he didn’t dare to enter.

As it turned out, Shi Nian had already gone in at some point. Now that Nanqing seems to have no major issues, could it be related to Shi Nian?

"My senior sister is already all right," Shi Nian simply stated.

Lu Zhuoyan, sensing the medicinal force that had not yet completely dissipated from Mu Nanqing’s body, revealed a thoughtful expression.

The Ling Tian Sword Master was about to ask something more.

Lu Zhuoyan said, "Senior Brother, there is also a chance for the cold poison to be absorbed on its own. With Nanqing’s prodigious talent, she probably did it herself."

"Is that so?" The Ling Tian Sword Master was somewhat hesitant.

Mu Nanqing and Shi Nian nodded together.

After observing Mu Nanqing for a long time, seeing that she indeed bore no traces of deviation, he believed it.

"If that’s the case, all is well," the Ling Tian Sword Master also let out a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment.

A disciple guarding the gate at Ling Tian Peak transmitted a talisman message.

"Master, Li Nanfeng, Senior Brother Li, is requesting to see you at the foot of the mountain, I am not sure if I should let him pass."

The Ling Tian Sword Master was startled for a moment.

Li Nanfeng?

What’s he here for?

"Not seeing him, not seeing him..." The Ling Tian Sword Master was about to dismiss the visitor.

Shi Nian’s gaze shifted, "Master, I am rather curious as to what Li Nanfeng is here for. Why not just let him speak."

The Ling Tian Sword Master was somewhat puzzled but didn’t refuse, "Then let him come up for the time being."

Shi Nian turned to Mu Nanqing and said, "Senior sister, you might feel disgusted upon seeing this man. You should go back and continue to stabilize your Spiritual Power. I’ll go meet him."

Spiritual Power fluctuated around Shi Nian, and the next moment, she miraculously transformed into the appearance of Mu Nanqing.

Mu Nanqing couldn’t help but marvel at the sight.

This transformative skill of the junior sister is a bit heaven-defying. Whether it’s appearance or aura, she is indistinguishable from myself.

For Shi Nian, this transformation didn’t require any transformative skill at all, it was simply a matter of using a Transformation Talisman.

"Then I’ll leave it to junior sister," Mu Nanqing knew Shi Nian must have her reasons and didn’t ask further, simply responding with a smile.

To meet a Li Nanfeng, there was no need to mobilize too many people.

Only the Ling Tian Sword Master and Shi Nian met with Li Nanfeng in the great hall.

As Li Nanfeng entered.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.

The Li Nanfeng before her was completely unrecognizable from the elegant and distinguished presence of the Divine Martial Sect’s Senior Brother at their first encounter.

Although he tried his best to maintain an acceptable appearance, with the same features, he looked much older than before, completely lacking his formerly spirited demeanor.

"I pay my respects to the Ling Tian Sword Master." Li Nanfeng opened his mouth with some difficulty, his hoarse voice as if his vocal cords would shatter at any moment.

He then turned towards Mu Nanqing beside him, feeling overjoyed in his heart.

Was Mu Nanqing accompanying the Ling Tian Sword Master especially to meet him?

It seems that his own conjecture might very well be true.

Li Nanfeng’s lips revealed an imperceptible smile.

Today’s affairs had mostly succeeded.

"What brings you here today?" Ling Tian Sword Master’s demeanor was commanding.

Li Nanfeng collected his thoughts and spoke calmly, "Sword Master, last night, black miasma and Ice Cold energies intertwined over Ling Tian Peak. On this peak, only Nanqing cultivates the Ice Cold Cultivation Technique. Could it be that she has encountered some accident?"

As Li Nanfeng spoke, his gaze lingered on Shi Nian with intent emotion.

Shi Nian: "..."

Suddenly feeling so disgusted!

It’s a good thing she came in place of her senior sister.

A hint of displeasure flashed through Ling Tian Sword Master’s eyes as he said coldly, "Nanqing is fine; you needn’t worry about her."

Li Nanfeng grew anxious and hurriedly said, "Sword Master, there’s no need to hide it. With such a phenomenon, surely Nanqing has experienced Deviation. Deviation is extremely dangerous – how could she be unharmed? I have long admired Nanqing and came today to help her with her issue. I am no longer the Li Nanfeng of the past, so I beseech the Sword Master not to hold prejudices against me anymore."

Ling Tian Sword Master narrowed his eyes and glanced sideways at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian must meet this Li Nanfeng.

Could it be she knows of Li Nanfeng’s intentions already?

With an impassive face, Ling Tian Sword Master inquired, "Oh? And how do you propose to help Nanqing resolve her issue?"

Li Nanfeng brimmed with energy and quickly replied, "It is widely known that the Ice Cold Physique afflicted by Deviation is extremely perilous. Continuing the cultivation could cause the ice poison to erupt at any moment. Even ceasing cultivation wouldn’t prevent the slow corrosion of the meridians by the ice poison, causing a continuous decline in cultivation. The classics state that there is only one way to completely resolve this poison."

Ling Tian Sword Master already guessed Li Nanfeng’s thoughts; his face turned unsightly, but he still scoffed and asked: "Hmph. Tell me."

Li Nanfeng gathered his courage, looking earnestly at Shi Nian and said, "That is to find a Disciple with a Pure Yang Body to engage in Dual Cultivation. I just so happen to practice the Pure Yang Technique. And I bear deep feelings for Nanqing; if I could become Daoist couple with her, I would stay by her side through thick and thin, in life and death!"

With that, Li Nanfeng knelt down on the spot: "Please, Sword Master, grant us this union."

Ling Tian Sword Master’s chest heaved with agitation.

He had guessed that Li Nanfeng might say this.

But with Li Nanfeng actually voicing it out, he still felt infuriated to the extreme.

How can he be so confident?

Why would his Nanqing fancy a good-for-nothing like him?

Even if it really came down to Dual Cultivation.

Given Mu Nanqing’s peerless talent, as long as she made her wishes known, wouldn’t all the Pure Yang Bodies under heaven be at her disposal?

Is she out of her mind, or blind, to choose a waste like Li Nanfeng?

And he even dares to kneel and beg for his approval.

Approval, my foot!

Ling Tian Sword Master really wanted to curse someone out, but he found his vocabulary lacking and glanced at Shi Nian, "Heh. Nanqing, what do you think?"

Shi Nian smiled slightly, her voice ringing clear: "Li Nanfeng, do you not have a mirror in your abode?"

Li Nanfeng was stunned, still not comprehending.

Then he heard Shi Nian say, rapid-fire, "If you don’t have a mirror, couldn’t you take a piss and see for yourself what you really look like?"

"How shameless and heartless must you be? Are you particularly light? Don’t you worry about being blown away by the wind when you step outside?"

"A toad dressed in leather, really daring to covet after fairies."

"With the current tense situation between humans and demons, why not peel off your thick face and donate it to the front lines as a shield?"

Shi Nian unleashed a torrent of invective.

Li Nanfeng was completely dumbstruck.

This, this, this...

Is this Mu Nanqing?
