Chapter 395: At Most Nine People

Shangguan Huanling ran far away in one breath, only after confirming that no one was chasing her did she put on her clothes in a hurry.

When she was fleeing, she was enveloped in a red glow, and her speed was incredibly fast, so she didn’t even need to worry about flashing anyone.

“Humph!”

“Crazy woman, if you can’t talk sense, just fight!”

Shangguan Huanling felt quite indignant and a bit smug.

She had previously heard Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan talk about how formidable and scary Shen Xitang was, how sharp her words were, making her extremely anxious and afraid of running into this person.

But now that she had met her, it was just like that!

Saying she would fight at the drop of a hat was just like anyone else.

Just had a prettier face.

“This time, Lu Ye seemed different from last time when I saw him; he didn’t immediately attack. Am I getting closer to being forgiven by Lu Ye?”

“Is it possible that after a while, Lu Ye would be willing to completely forgive me?”

Thinking of this, Shangguan Huanling couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

Back to it!

Actually, she could sense that even though Shen Xitang was ready to attack her, there wasn’t any killing intent.

She could have chosen not to run.

However, after all these years, she was just used to fleeing.

As long as someone made a move, whether they had killing intent or not, if there was a hint of danger, she would just run.

It became second nature—no thought required.

She returned to Heavenly Gate Star, yes, she just ran right out of the celestial body.

“Huanling, are you okay? Not injured, right? What happened?”

On her way back, she ran into Sun Ruowei, who had come looking for her, along with Lin Chuyue.

While Lu Ye was still in seclusion, Lin Chuyue and Sun Ruowei hit it off like old friends when they met, sensing a similar vibe from each other, as if they had found fellow kinds.

“What happened?”

Lin Chuyue was only concerned about what had occurred.

Shangguan Huanling didn’t hold back either.

“I ran into Shen Xitang, she said a bunch of confusing stuff to me, then got mad and wanted to hit me, so I ran!” Shangguan Huanling replied honestly.

Shen Xitang…

Sun Ruowei naturally knew Shen Xitang; she was her gossip buddy!

She was the gossip girl, while Shen Xitang was the gossip queen!

So, did that mean she was now getting the royal gossip?!

This…

This made Sun Ruowei even more excited!

“Confusing? What did she say? Tell me in detail!” Sun Ruowei eagerly asked.

“Boom!”

A loud noise suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.

Heavenly thunder appeared without warning.

Normally, when cultivators saw such heavenly thunder, they would immediately become alerted since it was a warning to stop what they were doing, or severe consequences would follow.

But Shangguan Huanling had no idea what that meant.

With no mental burden, she explained everything that had just happened.

“Beep, sister, calm down! Calm down!”

“Ding, strike her! Strike her!”

“Beep, sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, I’ll strike…”

“Boom!”

A real calamity thunder crashed down on Shangguan Huanling.

The speed of the calamity thunder was astonishing; before Shangguan Huanling could even react, she got hit directly.

However, the power of this thunder was too weak; it couldn’t even break her skin, just leaving a charred mark on her.

Shangguan Huanling???

She radiated a layer of protective aura; this was the silly defensive skill that Sister Bai taught her.

The calamity thunder couldn’t even penetrate her skin, let alone her protective shield.

But this feeble calamity thunder didn’t stop at all; never mind the damage, it stubbornly struck Shangguan Huanling again and again, as if showing its last bit of stubbornness.

Sun Ruowei and Lin Chuyue listened to the whole tale, unable to prevent their lips from curling upward.

Being normal people, they could tell that Shen Xitang was clearly attacking Shangguan Huanling.

But Shangguan Huanling had no intention of one-on-one combat with Shen Xitang.

In her mind, there was only one thing.

When would they start dual cultivating?

If she blocked her, she thought you want to come first? Fine, you go ahead, I’ll wait.

Did she ask if she was wrong?

She would just say she was wrong; so when would they start dual cultivating?

It was clear that Shangguan Huanling, having not dual cultivated for so long, was indeed a bit anxious.

Lin Chuyue had a complex expression, hesitated for a long while, and finally asked a question.

“How many people can play together at most?”

Shangguan Huanling was taken aback.

At most?

There were only nine people total: the eight of them plus one Lu Ye.

“Of course, it’s us nine together!”

Lin Chuyue…

Sun Ruowei…

“So how does Lu Ye manage to juggle that…”

Shangguan Huanling thought for a moment and was about to start explaining.

“Alright, alright, enough of that! I’m not interested in this!” Sun Ruowei quickly interrupted the silly Huanling.

“But I…” Lin Chuyue was actually a bit curious, curious yet hesitant to ask.

Shangguan Huanling noticed this and looked at Lin Chuyue suspiciously.

“Do you want to join too? Don’t even think about it; you probably don’t meet Lu Ye’s standards.”

What Shangguan Huanling said was indeed the truth.

Lu Ye had very strict standards when it came to women regarding appearances.

When she saw Shen Xitang, she directly felt Shen Xitang was Lu Ye’s girl, but when it came to Lin Chuyue, that thought didn’t cross her mind since the beauty standard was really evident.

Lu Ye definitely wouldn’t be interested.

Lu Ye might have Lin Chuyue as a fellow Daoist, but she would never be a Dao Companion.

Lin Chuyue’s eyes widened.

“Am I not beautiful?”

Shangguan Huanling immediately flaunted, “Beautiful, but not as beautiful as me!”

“But I’m smarter than you!”

“So what? That doesn’t make you more beautiful!”

Intelligence was never an issue when it came to Lu Ye, otherwise, how could she become one of his Dao Companions?

Lin Chuyue was fuming.

How infuriating to be looked down upon by an idiot!

But she couldn’t help feeling a twinge of sadness because what Shangguan Huanling said was indeed the truth; while her looks were outstanding, they still fell a bit short of being breathtaking.

Wait, she wasn’t even preparing to become Lu Ye’s Dao Companion; what’s wrong with being ugly?

In this world, it wasn’t that just because a man and a woman cultivated together they would become Dao Companions; being fellow Daoists was the most stable relationship, okay?

“I’m going to find Lu Ye; he’s about to forgive me, and I need to go make my presence felt in front of him!”

Shangguan Huanling cheerfully headed for the Heavenly Gate Great Hall.

At this moment, Lu Ye had calmed down as well.

Whether Shangguan Huanling knew she was wrong or not was none of his concern; the Path of Annihilation was currently Lu Ye’s strongest Dao.

The Celestial Lord Fist that had destroyed Ming Fo Temple earlier contained the essence of the Path of Annihilation.

He wouldn’t waste the Path of Annihilation on Shangguan Huanling.

But he had another idea.
