Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 569: Each With Their Own Hidden Agenda

Chapter 569: Each With Their Own Hidden Agenda

...

Master Yuyao really wanted to taste the cola.

But she no longer had that opportunity.

The cultivator who had given up the massage chair grabbed the cola and chugged it furiously, now still burping uncontrollably, completely lacking awareness.

She couldn't possibly ask this cultivator to spit out the cola for her to drink, could she?

But asking Chen Huaian directly for it was something she couldn't bring herself to do.

"Yuyao, oh Yuyao, don't forget what you came here to do today!"

Master Yuyao silently warned herself.

She came here to cause trouble for Chen Huaian, preferably to cripple several of Moon Shadow Sect's core disciples, thereby giving Chen Huaian a preliminary lesson.

Just as she was contemplating how to provoke conflict.

Chen Huaian, standing on the high platform, spoke first.

"Everyone, among us there is a sect leader who believes the Dao Inquiry Assembly should demonstrate martial prowess between sects.

I often say those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. This sect leader clearly walks a different path from mine, yet she still came and hasn't left yet. While she doesn't recognize my path, I'm willing to give her an opportunity. If any of you also wish to start the Dao Inquiry Assembly with martial displays, you can stand with her later."

Everyone knew who Chen Huaian was referring to.

Wasn't that exactly Taoist Nun Qingci, leader of Xuanhe Gate?

Who knew where a newly established sect found the confidence to provoke Chen Sword Master.

The crowd looked toward Master Yuyao, then immediately stepped back the next second.

In an instant, a complete vacuum formed around Master Yuyao.

Everyone looked at her with expressions as if viewing a plague god.

What a joke!

They didn't want to fight Moon Shadow Sect even before the Dao Inquiry Assembly began - wouldn't that be asking for punishment?

Now that Moon Shadow Sect had demonstrated such profound sect heritage, they wanted to fight even less.

"Since Taoist Nun Qingci wants to fight so badly, let her do it herself." Tang San narrowed his eyes at Master Yuyao and snorted coldly, thinking to himself this woman had no sense of self-preservation.

Fa Dahai also shook his head: "Well said. Wouldn't it be wonderful to drink cola while watching martial combat?"

Fu Hongyu crossed his arms, his expression icy, not even looking directly at Master Yuyao.

His stance was firm, already fully embracing his role as Moon Shadow Sect's honorary elder.

Master Yuyao first stared blankly, then realized why the surrounding cultivators were looking at her with such expressions.

"A bunch of spineless cowards!" She rose from the massage chair, cursing inwardly.

Then she straightened her back and looked directly at Chen Huaian: "If Chen Sword Master has something to say, why not speak plainly instead of all these roundabout methods!

I believe Cangyun Realm's hierarchy is strictly defined, with cultivators following the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. If we abandon the martial combat culture of the Dao Inquiry Assembly, wouldn't that cause Cangyun Realm's cultivators to lose their fighting spirit? Admittedly, we cultivators have many opportunities for combat beyond the Dao Inquiry Assembly, but this trend of suppressing martial combat should not be encouraged!"

Chen Huaian nodded silently.

This Master Yuyao had some real skills.

What she said was correct - the trend of suppressing martial combat should not be encouraged.

Otherwise, Cangyun Realm's cultivators would end up like Northern Song officials - civil officials flourishing while military officers became weaklings with low status. Eventually getting beaten to a pulp... The fundamental power of protection still requires martial prowess as foundation.

The significance of this Dao Inquiry Assembly for him was to lay groundwork for consolidating all sects.

After merging most of Cangyun Realm's sects, whether the Dao Inquiry Assembly would continue to exist and how it would be conducted would be entirely his decision?

Therefore, Chen Huaian directly followed Master Yuyao's intention.

"So, Taoist Nun Qingci, I'm specially opening a path for you. You and your sect can follow the previous Dao Inquiry Assembly procedures.

To differentiate sect strength, I will dispatch an elder to spar with you, while our disciples will also spar with your sect's disciples.

As the lead organizer, Moon Shadow Sect has the right to designate participants first."

After speaking, he looked toward Zhang Mengchu in the crowd behind him and said calmly: "Mengchu, you will spar with Taoist Nun Qingci!"

"Huh?" Zhang Mengchu, called by name, stared blankly.

Among so many elders, why choose him?

Moreover, he was significantly stronger than Taoist Nun Qingci - wasn't this blatant bullying?

He didn't want to bully others.

But Chen Huaian's words had already blocked his retreat: "Taoist Nun Qingci, Elder Zhang is the weakest among Moon Shadow Sect's elders. We can't possibly send disciples to fight you, so he will do. Do you have any objections?"

Master Yuyao looked at Zhang Mengchu behind Chen Huaian and felt a violent shudder in her heart.

She forced herself to calm down, but images from that year, that month, at Jade Pool Holy Land kept surfacing in her mind...

The passionate entanglement with this scoundrel where she lost all awareness of heaven and earth.

Master Yuyao gritted her teeth, filled with shame and indignation, her body trembling slightly.

Memories could be sealed, but what about bodily sensations? What about her lost purity?!

For a moment, she even suspected whether Chen Huaian had already seen through her identity?

That's why he deliberately sent out Zhang Mengchu, specifically to expose her.

But she quickly composed herself.

It didn't matter whether Chen Huaian was intentional or not.

She only knew one thing - today she would have her revenge.

Void Treading ninth stage Zhang Mengchu was nothing but a crawling insect in her eyes!

This would be the most mistaken decision Chen Huaian ever made.

Master Yuyao's gaze toward Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu shifted from murderous intent to complete impassivity in an instant.

Zhang Mengchu detected the killing intent, but by the time he tried to grasp it, it had already dissipated.

Meanwhile, Chen Huaian watched the crimson glowing red dot on the map expressionlessly.

Everyone was acting.

But his acting skills were much better than Master Yuyao's.

"This old woman naturally accepts Chen Sword Master's arrangement."

Just when everyone thought Taoist Nun Qingci would refuse, she agreed.

This was a battle of vastly unequal strength.

Taoist Nun Qingci was indeed arrogant, but her courage was truly admirable.

The surrounding cultivators' looks toward Master Yuyao changed slightly - still viewing her as a plague god, but unconsciously carrying a hint of respect.

"Then it's settled. According to Dao Inquiry Assembly rules, Taoist Nun Qingci, you may now select five Moon Shadow Sect disciples to spar with your disciples. Choose."

Chen Huaian waved his hand, having all Moon Shadow Sect disciples step forward.

Master Yuyao already had targets in mind and immediately interrupted:

"No need to trouble everyone to step forward. Just Xu An, Zhen He, Yue Qianchi, Duan Feng... and Li, Qing, Ran!"

She chuckled darkly inwardly.

If she didn't find a way to cripple all these personal disciples today, she'd write her name backwards.

Especially Li Qingran - she'd heard how dearly Chen Huaian cherished this closed-door disciple.

This damned old demon Yuyao really had enormous ambitions.

She actually wanted to take out all his precious ones in one go?

Ridiculous!

Damn it, if he didn't deal with this demon woman today, he'd take the Jade Pool's surname!
