Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 380: Chapter 376: I Found You

Not long after the group entered the grand hall, a graceful figure slowly walked out.

This was a young woman in her early twenties. Her raven hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her eyes shone like stars. She wore a pale cyan dress embroidered with blooming flowers. Her skin was exceptionally smooth and fair, her nose was high and elegant, and her sacred, refined aura held a startling allure.

A captivating floral fragrance emanated from her, one that made the scent of the surrounding flowers pale in comparison. She was like the Hundred Flowers Fairy, Extraordinary and ethereal.

Hua Hailan!

One of the three great beauties of Liang Province.

”Sister Hua.”

The moment Feng Sisi saw Hua Hailan, she affectionately rushed over and took her hand.

”Sisi, it’s been a while.”

Hua Hailan gave a faint smile. Her voice was magnetic and pleasing to the ear.

”Sister Hua, you’re getting more and more beautiful. Even I’m a little jealous.”

Feng Sisi said with a laugh. She was telling the truth; the Hua Hailan of today possessed a newfound noble air compared to before.

The people around murmured amongst themselves. Hua Hailan, Feng Sisi, and Lan Nongyu. ’The three great beauties are all gathered together. What a sight for sore eyes.’

An opportunity to see all three of them at once was rare.

However, the relationship between the three seemed subtly delicate.

Feng Sisi and Hua Hailan were close, like best friends.

But Lan Nongyu didn’t have such a good relationship with them. She and Feng Sisi were old rivals, and as for Hua Hailan, their relationship wasn’t exactly harmonious either.

After all, she had been the first one Yun Dingtian had taken an interest in back then.

Given their history, how could Hua Hailan possibly be friends with Lan Nongyu?

After the two beauties had chatted affectionately for a while, Hua Hailan finally turned her gaze to Lan Nongyu and said, ”Nongyu, aren’t you going to introduce me to him?”

She glanced at Ning Jiang, her interest piqued.

Lan Nongyu had rejected even Yun Dingtian back then, yet today, she actually had another man by her side. It was simply incredible.

”He is my friend, Young Master Jiang Ning,” Lan Nongyu said.

Although the two women spoke politely on the surface, anyone could tell there was an invisible barrier between them.

”Is he really just a friend? Sister Hua, let me tell you. Lan Nongyu was waiting for him outside earlier. I’d say he’s probably Lan Nongyu’s man. A pity, there’s nothing special about him. On the Black Patterned Profound Gold Stele test, he could only leave a small dent.”

Feng Sisi glanced at Ning Jiang, a flash of disdain in her proud, beautiful eyes.

”Is that so? I see.”

Hua Hailan nodded, a hint of disappointment also appearing deep in her eyes.

Seeing their reactions, Lan Nongyu’s expression turned cold. Their contempt for Ning Jiang filled her with indignation.

Only she knew that Ning Jiang’s strength was nowhere near as pathetic as Feng Sisi claimed.

”Pay them no mind.”

As if sensing what Lan Nongyu was thinking, Ning Jiang’s voice was faint and calm as still water.

A person like him rarely became angry, but when he did, it would be world-shaking.

A little scorn was not enough to provoke his anger; he wasn’t that petty.

’This woman...’

Ning Jiang looked at Hua Hailan. He sensed a hidden aura about her, one that was faint and almost imperceptible. ’This Hua Hailan is far from simple...’

”Everyone, please follow me.”

After they finished catching up, Hua Hailan led the group inside.

This was a courtyard.

Within the courtyard, a young man was already waiting for them.

The young man had his back to them. His long hair was loose, casually tied up with a Golden Crown. His robes were embroidered with the pattern of nine Flood Dragons.

Even though he wasn’t facing them, a powerful pressure still emanated from him, causing many of the young people present to be secretly alarmed.

Yun Dingtian, the Young Sect Leader of the Extreme Heaven Sect!

The number one talent of Liang Province’s younger generation!

Even someone as proud as Ye Ying showed deep apprehension in his eyes upon seeing Yun Dingtian.

”You’ve arrived.”

Yun Dingtian said, turning around.

When they saw his eyes, many people’s hearts couldn’t help but tremble.

Within those eyes, endless Thunderbolts churned, looking as if they could erupt at any moment and consume everything.

”Oh? There are a few new faces at this year’s tea banquet. Not bad. It seems the overall strength of Liang Province is on the rise.”

Yun Dingtian’s gaze swept over a few people, then landed on Ye Ying. ”Ye Ying, your Primordial Spirit Power has grown much stronger. It seems you’ve made progress with your Quenching God Technique.”

”You flatter me.” Ye Ying shook his head. ”Unfortunately, I still stand no chance against you.”

Yun Dingtian nodded, then looked at Lan Nongyu and said indifferently, ”Nongyu, is this man yours?”

”Why are you asking?” Lan Nongyu’s fine brows furrowed. She was uncomfortable with Yun Dingtian’s condescending tone.

”If he is, then he has to die,” Yun Dingtian said flatly, his hands clasped behind his back.

”What? What do you mean by that?” Lan Nongyu’s pretty face changed instantly.

”If a woman I’ve taken an interest in finds another man so quickly, what will the Martial Artists of Liang Province think of me? Wouldn’t that be saying I’m inferior?”

Yun Dingtian said slowly, ”To put it simply, Nongyu, you can reject me. I don’t care about that. But from now on, you can only be single. Anyone who dares to be with you dies!”

”You!”

Lan Nongyu’s expression was furious, and her delicate body trembled.

Everyone around them fell silent.

This was Yun Dingtian. As the number one talent of Liang Province’s younger generation, with the added status of the Extreme Heaven Sect’s Young Sect Leader, this had always been his way of doing things.

If Lan Nongyu were with Ning Jiang, wouldn’t that imply Ning Jiang was more outstanding than him? How could someone as proud as him tolerate such a thing?

Simply put, it was a case of: if he couldn’t have something, no one else could either!

”Alright, no need to be nervous. I can see that you two don’t have that kind of relationship. I won’t kill him,” Yun Dingtian said indifferently.

Lan Nongyu remained silent.

After Yun Dingtian’s declaration, which Martial Artist in Liang Province would dare to approach her from now on?

They would probably avoid her like the plague. Otherwise, if Yun Dingtian misunderstood, wouldn’t it bring a fatal disaster upon them?

A chill ran through Lan Nongyu’s heart at this thought. She had never expected Yun Dingtian to be so tyrannical.

In Yun Dingtian’s eyes, it was as if she had become his possession.

After Yun Dingtian’s words, some of the surrounding Martial Artists subconsciously distanced themselves from Lan Nongyu, no longer daring to even look at her.

Lan Nongyu was beautiful, but compared to one’s life and safety, the choice was obvious.

”Alright, Nongyu, don’t be angry. What Dingtian said might have been a bit harsh, but it makes sense. He’s the number one talent of Liang Province’s younger generation and will take over the Extreme Heaven Sect in the future. If you were to be with someone else, it would be a humiliation to him. If that were the case, even I wouldn’t allow it,” Hua Hailan said.

Lan Nongyu clenched her fine fists, remaining silent.

The circumstances were against her. Facing a behemoth like the Extreme Heaven Sect, she had no power to resist.

”Alright, serve the tea.” At this moment, Hua Hailan clapped her hands.

A few young women walked in.

Upon seeing one of them, a sharp, cold glint erupted for the first time in Ning Jiang’s constantly calm eyes!
