Volume 1 Chapter 258: Boys Should Know How to Protect Themselves Outside

Xiao Yang and the others didn’t linger any longer and immediately took to the skies, flying towards the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Between Qingyun Mountain and Qingyang Mountain, there were several thousand miles of distance.

However, Liu Qingyun’s speed while flying with his sword was not lacking.

By evening, they had already arrived near Qingyang Mountain.

The day after tomorrow was the day the Qingyang Sword Sect would officially appoint the Sect Holy Son.

Yet, the area around Qingyang Mountain was bustling with activity.

All the major sects in the North had received invitations from the Qingyang Sword Sect.

At this time, the Qingyang Sword Sect was the number one sect in the North; who would dare to disrespect Jiang Qitian, the sect leader of Qingyang Sword Sect?

The sects that received the invitations all sent important figures to attend this grand ceremony.

The nine major sects, along with many other sects, had also received invitations.

When Xiao Yang and the others entered Yuntian City, they saw martial practitioners everywhere.

The streets were packed, bustling like a festival.

The inns in the city were completely booked.

The appointment of the Sect Holy Son by Qingyang Sword Sect was a sensational event that reverberated throughout the entire North.

Xiao Yang actually understood why Jiang Qitian was so eager to appoint the Sect Holy Son.

Jiang Qitian was trying to establish his authority through this event.

However, what Jiang Qitian wanted to do had nothing to do with Xiao Yang.

It was just that, for Qin Fei to quietly sit atop the position of Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, that was impossible.

“Master, what should we do? It seems there’s no place to stay tonight,” Zhao Fan said with resignation, as this was already the last inn in Yuntian City, but he had just inquired, and it was still fully booked.

“As martial practitioners, we adapt to circumstances; we can find any place to rest,” Xiao Yang replied nonchalantly.

“How about we just stay outside the city for a couple of days?” Liu Qingyun suggested thoughtfully.

Having wandered the North for hundreds of years, finding a place to rest seemed like an exceedingly simple task to him.

“Then let’s go!” Xiao Yang said.

They were just about to leave when—

“Xiao Yang, is that really you?”

At that moment, a voice came from the inn’s entrance.

Then, a person strode out from inside the inn.

Seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yang was momentarily stunned.

Ling Xian’er’s expression turned noticeably colder the moment she laid eyes on the person.

“Nie Ruhua?” Ling Xian’er furrowed her brows.

The person was none other than the senior sister of the Heguan Sect, Nie Ruhua.

“Master, who is this…?” Zhao Fan looked at her in shock.

The newcomer was tall and dressed in women’s attire but had a full beard on her face.

What a bizarre sight!

Zhao Fan had never seen anyone like this before.

Is this person male or female? Or a weirdo?

“Heguan Sect’s Nie Ruhua!” Xiao Yang said calmly.

“Heguan Sect?” Zhao Fan was shocked again upon hearing that.

He had heard of the infamous Heguan Sect.

It’s worth noting that during the last competition, Heguan Sect had made it into the top ten.

“Xiao Yang, you guys are here to participate in the Qingyang Sword Sect’s Sect Holy Son appointment ceremony, right? You must still be looking for a place to stay?” Nie Ruhua’s voice rumbled like an old cow.

Xiao Yang nodded.

“That’s easy! We from Heguan Sect have booked this inn. Why not stay here with us?” Nie Ruhua said, clearly excited.

“Um…” Xiao Yang hesitated.

He really didn’t want to get involved with Heguan Sect.

He didn’t want to stir up trouble.

“Let’s do this!” Nie Ruhua spoke and reached out to pull Xiao Yang towards the inn.

“Hey, hey, hey! Whether we talk or walk, pulling someone around like that is quite inappropriate!” Ling Xian’er charged forward and slapped Nie Ruhua’s hand away from Xiao Yang.

“Nie Ruhua, if you mess up my plans, this won’t be over!” Nie Ruhua placed her hands on her hips and glared at Ling Xian’er angrily.

“What plans did I mess up? Are you trying to do something bad to Xiao Yang?” Ling Xian’er retorted furiously.

“Bachelor and bachelorette, what do you say?” Nie Ruhua smirked.

“You shameless creature!” Ling Xian’er was furious.

“Haha, I’m shameless; what’re you gonna do about it?” Nie Ruhua said proudly.

“You…” Ling Xian’er was about to argue again.

“Alright, alright…” Xiao Yang stepped in to mediate.

“Let’s not fight.”

Liu Qingyun also stepped forward.

“Even if we sleep in the streets, we refuse your kindness. Master, Xiao Yang, let’s go!” Ling Xian’er shouted at Nie Ruhua.

By this point, quite a few people had gathered near the inn entrance to watch the fun.

“Oh, got a lot of spirit, huh?” Nie Ruhua scoffed.

“Nie young friend, don’t push your luck.” Liu Qingyun glared at Nie Ruhua sternly.

“Am I pushing my luck?” Nie Ruhua responded dismissively.

“Xiao Yang, stay here!” Nie Ruhua unabashedly expressed her interest in Xiao Yang.

“…”

Xiao Yang looked at her bearded face, his feelings were quite conflicted.

“Let’s go!” Ling Xian’er urged Xiao Yang and Liu Qingyun.

“Nie young friend… where are our rooms?” Liu Qingyun suddenly asked.

“Old man, you…” Ling Xian’er was distressed.

“Girl, if you don’t take advantage, you’re a fool,” Liu Qingyun whispered to Ling Xian’er.

“This…” Ling Xian’er’s face turned red with anger.

“Girl, you’re too naïve. Staying with her, enjoying her food and drink—how great is that?”

Liu Qingyun said in a hushed voice.

“…”

After hearing this, Ling Xian’er suddenly got it.

Yeah, it would be stupid not to take advantage.

She decided not to argue anymore.

“If you’re so confident, go ahead and leave; if you find a place to stay in the city, I’ll take your surname,” Nie Ruhua said disdainfully.

“You’re such a fool. I’m a girl; how could I take the risk?” Ling Xian’er shot back directly.

“Uh…”

Nie Ruhua was momentarily taken aback, but as long as Xiao Yang stayed, her goal was accomplished.

Nie Ruhua quickly arranged accommodations for Xiao Yang and the others.

Each of them got their own room.

When the moon was high in the sky, a silhouette silently arrived at Xiao Yang’s window.

Xiao Yang, sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes.

At that moment, the person outside the window opened it and jumped in directly.

“Mo Hongyue, pays respects to the master!” the newcomer bowed to Xiao Yang, who was sitting on the bed.

“What are you doing here?” Xiao Yang looked at her in surprise.

It was none other than Mo Hongyue.

“Not only have I come, but some important figures from the Demon Sect have also arrived,” Mo Hongyue said.

“Hmm?” Xiao Yang’s expression turned grave immediately upon hearing this.

It seemed the Demon Sect was making moves!

“What exactly is going on?” Xiao Yang frowned and asked.

“I’m not sure about the specifics, but it’s definitely related to the Qingyang Sword Sect’s appointment of the Sect Holy Son,” Mo Hongyue pondered.

Xiao Yang became even more curious upon hearing this.

Even Mo Hongyue didn’t have the clearance to know the Demon Sect’s plans?

What on earth did the Demon Sect intend to do?

“Master, you must be careful. The influential figures from the Demon Sect are likely coming for you,” Mo Hongyue continued.

“Got it. You can head back now.” Xiao Yang said.

“The subordinate takes her leave!” Mo Hongyue said as she left, closing the window behind her.

“What does Qin Fei want to do?” Xiao Yang began to think.

He was well aware of how much Qin Fei hated him.

If those influential figures from the Demon Sect were aiming for him, he wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Qin Fei would love nothing more than to tear him apart.

Jiang Qitian sending invites to the Qingyun Sect likely meant he wanted him to witness Qin Fei being crowned as Sect Holy Son, making him regret leaving the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Xiao Yang didn’t regret leaving Qingyang Sword Sect at all.

But he could still smell something fishy.

The people from the Demon Sect were incredibly cunning, adept in intrigue and schemes.

Throughout the centuries, many had fallen victim to the Demon Sect’s plots.

If the Demon Sect took advantage of the ten major sects gathering at Qingyang Sword Sect and stirred up trouble, it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xiao Yang contemplated a possibility.

What if the Demon Sect planned to detonate the Earth Veins of Qingyang Mountain on the day of the Sect Holy Son’s appointment, sending everyone attending the grand ceremony, including the people of Qingyang Sword Sect, straight to the afterlife?

The Demon Sect was capable of doing anything.

Just as Xiao Yang was pondering over what the Demon Sect’s intentions could be…

He suddenly caught a whiff of a faint fragrance.

His mind sparked; he pretended to be drugged and fell straight onto the bed.

Before long, the window was opened again from the outside.

A sneaky silhouette jumped into the room.

It was Nie Ruhua.

Nie Ruhua approached Xiao Yang’s bed and, seeing him lying there, said, “To avoid long nights and dreams, I’ll take you today.”

She said and reached out to unfasten Xiao Yang’s clothes.

However, just when her hand was about to touch Xiao Yang’s clothes, he suddenly opened his eyes.

“What…”

Nie Ruhua was taken aback, the next second, she lunged at Xiao Yang directly.

She was going to have her way with him.

Xiao Yang possessed the True Sun Holy Body; if they could cultivate together, she could potentially regain her former appearance and would no longer be ridiculed as not quite a man and not quite a woman.

“Oh my God!”

Xiao Yang was scared out of his wits.

He had absolutely no interest in someone like Nie Ruhua, who was so androgynous.

Xiao Yang rolled to the side and quickly got off the bed.

Nie Ruhua attempted to advance again.

But the next moment, someone charged in from outside the window, stretching out a hand directly towards Nie Ruhua.

“Nie Ruhua, you shameless psycho!”

The person was Ling Xian’er.

“You’re the psycho!” Nie Ruhua fumed.

She had missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take down Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang, on the other hand, was overwhelmed.

Nie Ruhua was crossing the line.

She actually wanted to force herself on him?

Too bad he had absolutely no interest in Nie Ruhua at all.

“Nie Ruhua, please maintain some decorum!” Xiao Yang said calmly.

“Heh heh, you’ll all be mine sooner or later.” Nie Ruhua said as she walked out the door.

“This psycho!” Ling Xian’er was furious.

There was certainly no good person in Heguan Sect.

“I told you not to stay here, but you wouldn’t listen. You almost lost your purity; boys should know how to protect themselves outside!” Ling Xian’er said to Xiao Yang.

“It’s nothing!” Xiao Yang replied nonchalantly.

Having lived a life before, he possessed all the life experience from his previous life; what storms hadn’t he seen?

Would he really be outmaneuvered by Nie Ruhua?

He was merely putting on an act.

Soon, news of Xiao Yang’s arrival in Yuntian City spread like wildfire.
