Chapter 1577: Chapter 1342: Defeated the Top Disciple with One Move
A figure shrouded in red and white.
Even from behind, one could sense her uniqueness.
It’s as if everything around her was merely a backdrop.
Untouchable by others.
Miao Tinglian mustered her courage to approach.
Her heart pounding.
In the presence of the other, she felt utterly ordinary.
Thus, she firmly believed, Jiang Hao’s eyes would surely fixate upon seeing the other,
And he’d agree in bewilderment.
Heavenly Note Sect turned to glance at the comer, whispering softly, “We meet again.”
“For the second time,” Miao Tinglian said as she approached Heavenly Note Sect,
“Fairy guard, does it mean that if I find you one more time, I can take you to see my junior brother?”
Heavenly Note Sect nodded slightly, “Of course.”
Upon hearing this, Miao Tinglian pondered for a moment, then covered her eyes; and, opening them, she exclaimed excitedly, “This is the third time.”
Heavenly Note Sect looked at her, smiling, “Do you think you’re being funny?”
Miao Tinglian nodded a bit awkwardly, “My husband said the same when praising me.”
“Your husband has a keen eye for people,” Heavenly Note Sect replied nonchalantly.
Miao Tinglian changed the subject, “Are you here to watch the top disciple challenge as well?”
“What else?” Heavenly Note Sect inquired.
At that, Miao Tinglian’s spirits lifted, her face beaming with a smile, “Then, what do you think of the challenger?”
“Why not ask about the tenth-ranking top disciple?” Heavenly Note Sect suggested, looking towards the arena.
Although no one was on the platform at the moment, many were already waiting.
As soon as the time arrived, those two individuals would appear.
Now, it was the onlookers, keen for a spectacle, who gathered around.
After all, with the Heavenly Note Sect’s large number, coming too late easily meant missing the conflict for the position of top disciple.
A battle for the ages was anticipated.
“The tenth?” Miao Tinglian thought for a moment, “He’s been in the tenth position for many years, has learned all there is to learn; there’s nothing left to ask about him.
“But this challenger has just emerged; naturally, the questions are for him.”
“That’s true,” Heavenly Note Sect agreed, then added, “But hasn’t he yet to appear?”
Miao Tinglian was momentarily at a loss for words.
Heavenly Note Sect calmly shifted the topic, “Do you enjoy matchmaking?”
“Quite a bit, especially matchmaking for my junior brother,” Miao Tinglian replied with a smile.
“You don’t do it for others?” Heavenly Note Sect asked back.
“Not that I don’t, but my junior brother is the principal task, while others are incidental missions that arise occasionally,” Miao Tinglian explained.
Heavenly Note Sect nodded, “Why are you so kind to him?”
Being the main concern, it naturally means there is only one.
It wouldn’t do for the relationship to be just average.
“Because he is a great benefactor to my husband and me,” Miao Tinglian stated.
“Just that?” Heavenly Note Sect inquired.
Miao Tinglian somewhat awkwardly said, “Well, in the past, my husband was not very passionate towards me, but he was very enthusiastic about my junior brother.”
“What do you mean?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.
Miao Tinglian, slightly panicked, quickly responded, “It’s that we had misunderstandings in the past, and the junior brother cleared them up; hence, I’ve made up my mind to find a couple for him.
“He is lonely and alone, with no one to take care of him.
“Unaware of the benefits of having a couple.”
“How would having a couple change things?” Heavenly Note Sect asked in return.
“What if you had a partner?” Miao Tinglian asked with a smile, “As a fairy guard so powerful, are you lonely in the endless years?
“One by one, those around you fall and depart.
“You are the only one walking down this long road.
“Does that feeling sit well with you?
“What if, in such loneliness, there was someone who accompanied you along the way, what then?”
“What then?” Heavenly Note Sect inquired.
“You would fear his departure, fear the days without him, fear not hearing his voice, fear not being able to draw close to him, to hold him tight, you would regret and try every possible way to make him stay,” said Miao Tinglian.
“Is that an advantage?” Heavenly Note Sect asked, somewhat surprised.
“A disadvantage, oh.” Miao Tinglian said earnestly.
Heavenly Note Sect looked at the person before her.
Miao Tinglian shrugged, “If it’s that bad, then it just shows how good it is when you have it.”
Heavenly Note Sect looked at the person before her with astonishment.
“Have you ever thought about being with someone? Or worried about something happening to them, not wanting them to leave.” Miao Tinglian asked.
Heavenly Note Sect shook her head, without speaking.
“Then one must give it a try, my junior brother is quite suitable,” Miao Tinglian said excitedly:
“He is definitely a person worth entrusting oneself to, although he has a flaw or two, but who doesn’t have imperfections?
“When it’s time to be kind, he is kind; when it’s time to be decisive, he is decisive.
“The only downside is that he might lack a bit of security.
“Always loves to stay at home and not go out.
“But his strength and potential are unquestionable, all this is what my husband told me.”
“Your husband observes very closely, eh?” Heavenly Note Sect remarked.
“Yes, too closely, there’s no need to be so meticulous about nothing,” Miao Tinglian also complained.
Miao Tinglian continued to speak about how good her junior brother was.
Heavenly Note Sect listened quietly.
——
At the same time.
Jiang Hao stepped out of the courtyard and looked at the sky, realizing it was about time.
He ought to go.
His mood was not very good.
Because he had failed to advance to Heavenly Immortal Perfection.
Suddenly, things had become much more dangerous.
It seemed he had to be even more serious.
Afterwards, he walked step by step toward the direction of the arena.
After a while.
As he approached, Jiang Hao was somewhat astonished.
An enormous crowd.
Whether in the sky or on the ground, it was so.
An incredibly large number of people.
Had most of the sect turned up?
Was it just because there was another competition?
There was still some time before his own competition; it shouldn’t have attracted so many people.
But the inside was indeed empty.
“Can’t see, came too late, ah.” A few Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivators standing at the back were very frustrated.
“It’s your fault, I told you to hurry up but you had to dawdle! You aren’t proactive about watching the battles, now you’ll be brothers in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.” Another said angrily, “You missed the top disciple’s duel, lost the opportunity to grasp the path of cultivation, and can only become stepping stones for others.”
