Chapter 2455 - 2455 Why Have You Been Avoiding Me?
2455 Why Have You Been Avoiding Me?
“We’ll go too!”
Liu Ping took the initiative to stand out, wanting to follow Su Zimo.
“No!”
Su Zimo rejected without hesitation and said in a deep voice, “The two of you, just stay in the academy. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
The two of them did not have high cultivation realms and it was useless even if they followed.
Furthermore, Su Zimo did not want Tao Yao to be at risk again.
There was probably no place safer than Heaven and Earth Academy in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
“Young master, you…”
Tao Yao had a worried expression and hesitated.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow consoled at the side, “Don’t worry, Ruoxu and legacy disciples of the academy will appear this time round. There won’t be any danger.”
This was not Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s blind confidence.
As one of the seven heaven-grade factions, legacy disciples of Heaven and Earth Academy could do whatever they wanted in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and no one would dare to provoke them.
Unless there was a deep feud, conflicts rarely broke out between legacy disciples of the academy and the other heaven-grade factions.
Furthermore, even if there was a fight, everyone would rely on their own capabilities and no Immortal King would step in to suppress the other party.
After all, all the heaven-grade factions had Immortal Kings backing them up.
If one party took the initiative to break the balance, it would be easy for the situation to escalate or even lose control, turning into a battle at the level of an Immortal King!
That would not be beneficial for either party—the losses outweighed the gains.
For example, on the side of Heaven and Earth Academy, the Sect Master of the Academy presided over everything with his immaculate calculations.
In a fight between people of the same cultivation realm, it was naturally inappropriate for the Sect Master of the Academy to interfere. However, if an Immortal King were to attack a legacy disciple of the academy, it would be difficult for him to hide from the Sect Master of the Academy!
“Let’s go.”
Su Zimo said and led the way outside.
If necessary, he would not alarm the Martial Dao Prime Body unless he had no other choice.
The two true bodies cultivated separately and each of them had different opportunities and Dharmic Daos.
If he had to alarm the Martial Dao Prime Body for everything, there would be no need for him to cultivate this Green Lotus True Body.
Furthermore, if the two true bodies appeared at the same place frequently, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had merely gone over to the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain to create a ruckus once a thousand years ago and a clue was immediately spotted by Book Immortal Yun Zhu.
If this happened a few more times, even a simple-minded person like Senior Sister Mo Qing would notice the problem between the two of them.
Before long, Su Zimo and Princess Scarlet Rainbow arrived at the entrance of the academy.
Yang Ruoxu and three legacy disciples were already waiting at the entrance of the mountain.
Yang Ruoxu took a step forward and said in a deep voice, “Let me introduce the three of them. They are Perfected Immortal Qing Jing, Perfected Immortal Fu Guang and Hua Chengtian. All of them are senior brothers of the legacy ground.”
The auras released by the three Perfected Immortals were similar to Yang Ruoxu.
If he was not wrong, the three of them should be Perfected Immortals at the Convergence realm.
Su Zimo did not think too much about it. No matter what, he was already extremely grateful that the three senior brothers of the academy were willing to help.
“Greetings, senior brothers. I’m Su Zimo.”
Su Zimo hurried forward and bowed.
Although he was the in-name disciple of the Sect Master of the Academy, he had yet to officially join the sect master after all and his status was even beneath legacy disciples.
Hua Chengtian and the other two sized up Su Zimo with scrutinizing gazes.
“You’re Su Zimo?”
Perfected Immortal Qing Jing said in an implying manner, “You’ve been in the limelight in the academy all these years.”
Su Zimo condensed the tenth stone step, alarmed the Nine Great Elders and the Sect Master of the Academy even arrived personally to take him in as an in-name disciple—all of those made him famous in the academy.
Although many disciples of the academy had not seen him before, they had all heard of his name.
“Not really.”
Su Zimo replied warily.
Yang Ruoxu said, “Let’s leave now lest any delays cause things to go wrong.”
“There’s no hurry.”
Hua Chengtian shook his head. “There are some things that have to be settled before we go.”
“What do you mean?”
Yang Ruoxu asked with a frown.
Hua Chengtian said, “Let’s not beat around the bush and get straight to the point. It’s fine if you want the three of us to help. We don’t want much. One Saraca Fruit each!”
Yang Ruoxu’s expression changed as he frowned and asked, “Senior brothers, what’s the meaning of this?”
Perfected Immortal Fu Guang smiled. “Junior Brother Yang, we don’t have much of a relationship with Su Zimo. We’re just fellow sect mates. It’s not overboard to ask for compensation, right?”
“Earlier on at the legacy ground, I’ve already promised to give you enough Essence Spirit Stones as compensation. You guys were agreeable to it as well.”
Yang Ruoxu suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, “We’re about to set off and yet you guys are requesting for Saraca Fruits now. Isn’t that way too greedy?!”
“Junior Brother Yang, watch your words!”
Hua Chengtian’s expression turned cold. “Everyone in the academy knows that you’re not on good terms with Senior Brother Yue Hua. The three of us are already taking quite a risk to help you. It’s only right for us to ask for more compensation!”
“Exactly.”
Perfected Immortal Fu Guang said, “Furthermore, this trip is definitely not simple. There might be danger. Otherwise, you could have done it alone. Why look for the three of us?”
Perfected Immortal Qing Jing looked at Su Zimo and chuckled. “Junior Brother Su, what we want is not overboard. You used the Saraca Fruit to save Junior Brother Yang previously, I’m sure you must have more of it.”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow was an inner sect disciple after all. Although she was indignant, she could not say anything and merely cursed internally with a cold expression.
Suddenly, Su Zimo smiled and nodded. He did not hide anything and said frankly, “Indeed, I still have Saraca Fruits with me.”
Hua Chengtian and the other two were delighted.
However, Su Zimo changed the topic and sneered, “However, I won’t give it to you guys.”
The expressions of Hua Chengtian and the other two darkened!
Yang Ruoxu took a step forward and stood opposite Hua Chengtian and the other two, shouting, “That’s right, we must not compromise on this matter! Brother Su, don’t worry. I don’t believe that I alone will be able to save the two of them!”
Actually, it was not that Su Zimo could not bear to part with the Saraca Fruits. It was just that the greedy expressions of Hua Chengtian and the other two made him feel disgusted.
Even if he gave the three of them the Saraca Fruits now, they would probably demand even more when they arrived!
Perfected Immortal Qing Jing sneered, “Junior Brother Yang, you’re only a Convergence Perfected Immortal. Do you really think that you can defend against a massive army?”
Hua Chengtian glared at Su Zimo coldly and threatened once more, “Su Zimo, don’t blame us for not giving you a chance! If you fail to save them later on, it’ll be too late for regrets!”
“Su Zimo, you’re finally out of seclusion!”
Right then, a woman’s voice sounded not far away with a hint of coldness and anger.
Everyone looked over and saw a peerless beauty soaring through the air like a fairy that had walked out of a painting. She was elegant and otherworldly—it was Painting Immortal Mo Qing!
When Su Zimo saw Senior Sister Mo Qing, he panicked and averted his gaze.
It was rare for Hua Chengtian and the other two to see Fairy Mo Qing in the legacy ground.
They were both surprised and delighted to see her today.
At the same time, the three of them could sense the suppressed anger on Fairy Mo Qing and could not help but sneer secretly, gloating.
Since Su Zimo offended Senior Sister Mo Qing, he was bound to suffer!
Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow exchanged worried glances.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Qing arrived before Su Zimo and glared at him angrily. Gritting her teeth, she clenched her fists and questioned, “Why have you been avoiding me all these years?”
When the onlookers heard that, they were stunned and dumbfounded.
