Moonlit Night at the 24 Bridges

Chapter 622 - 621: Fenghua Road, Zuiyue Pavilion

Chapter 622: Chapter 621: Fenghua Road, Zuiyue Pavilion


The figure at the Peak of Enlightenment with three strands of black whiskers deeply furrowed his brows, how could this be possible?


This member of the Dragon Clan, so much effort was spent to subdue him, and taking him out always brought great prestige, announcing to the world the strength of the Mental Path, even a force like the Dragon Sect could be used by him.


But today, this esteemed emblem was smashed to pieces by this seemingly gentle and scholarly young man in front of him with just one punch!


Ancient Sect!


This is the power of the Ancient Sect’s direct transmission!


The Qingqiu elders exchanged looks with each other.


They no longer doubted Lin Xiaosu’s identity; just this punch proved everything that "Miss Ling" said was true.


Apart from the Ancient Sect, absolutely no other race or sect has a stronger body than that of the Dragon Clan.


So the question arises, what choice should Qingqiu make?


Seemingly, choosing the Ancient Sect isn’t a bad choice either...


The Ancient Divine Ruins where the Ancient Sect is located hold a fatal attraction for any ancient race.


No one doubted anymore.


But there was one person who doubted.


That was the Saintess Qian Ling.


Only she knew that Lin Xiaosu had nothing to do with the Ancient Sect, he was only following her guidance, using his own Flesh Star to nourish his body once.


This nurturing law, derived from the Divine Demon Refining Body, is true, but it should only be imitation, never surpassing.


But he seems to have surpassed it!


Where exactly is the problem?


He must have some other fortuitous encounter!


In the secret chamber of Qingqiu, the third sister’s eyes suddenly brightened.


She stared at Lin Xiaosu, as if she had discovered a new continent.


Such a handsome and elegant appearance, yet his physical body is so formidable. If he were on my stomach, that ultimate pleasure might truly make me die from happiness...


The Seventh Princess clutched her chest, her eyes full of stars: "Look at this demeanor, it’s too deadly, I can’t take it, I must have him be my man! Anyone who dares to stop me, I’ll poison him to death..."


Her focus remained on demeanor!


The third sister sighed inwardly.


This hopeless appearance-obsessed fool, truly beyond saving. How could she see only the superficial demeanor and not the real benefits of a strong man for a woman...


Li Chengnian took a deep breath, stepped forward: "Your strength is indeed formidable, but here in the cultured lands of Qingqiu, it is hard to retain a coarse man. It would hardly change Qingqiu’s knowledge simply based on your strength."


Saintess Qian Ling sneered: "Lord Li, you deride others as having only brute strength, but what about yourself? Perhaps you don’t even have that little bit of strength?"


"Haha..." Li Chengnian laughed: "People of the world rely on strength to make a living, but a great man establishes himself with the ambition to govern the world, strategies to master all directions, knowledge through the ages, and the talent to express emotions in poetry and wine, how could it be..."


Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly, interrupting: "Want to try?"


Two words, easygoing, cutting off Li Chengnian’s grand discourse.


Li Chengnian got irritated seeing his calm and relaxed expression, suddenly turning to the Great Elder: "Please, Great Elder, present a challenge!"


The Great Elder’s eyelids barely opened: "Do the two of you wish to test your knowledge together?"


"Yes!" Both replied in unison.


"In the cultured land of Qingqiu, those vying for marriage should publicly test their knowledge as the proper protocol. Since you both agree, I shall open the Fenghua Road, please proceed to Zuiyue Pavilion... how about it?"


"I’ve long heard that the Wind and Flower Road of Qingqiu is famous for its elegance, and the people in Zuiyue Pavilion are like the moon, fortunate to witness this day!" Li Chengnian bowed.


"And what about Young Master Su?" the Great Elder inquired.


Everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Xiaosu.


Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "I accept!"


Saintess Qian Ling was shocked: "Junior brother, I don’t know what the Fenghua Road is, what is the Zuiyue Pavilion, do you... know?"


"I don’t, but it doesn’t matter!"


Don’t know!


Yet it doesn’t matter!


The hearts of everyone present were suddenly filled with mixed feelings...


This is arrogance!


This is domineering!


Earlier, Li Chengnian’s declaration about how a great man establishes himself with strategies to master all directions and knowledge was full of unparalleled swagger, causing many secretly observing Qingqiu women to feel their hearts surge like tides.


And now, Lin Xiaosu didn’t have so much boastful declarations, just five words "I don’t know, yet it doesn’t matter," expressed his swagger distinctly and vividly.


The implication was very clear.


No matter which domain, I’m ready to accept your challenge.


Even if it’s completely unfamiliar territory.


Even if you catch me by surprise.


It doesn’t affect...


The Seventh Princess in the secret chamber got anxious; a thread of sound transmitted to Lin Xiaosu: "Brother Su, Fenghua Road is an array, I’ll tell you the formula, remember it..."


Lin Xiaosu in the scene suddenly jolted.


My goodness!


That’s the Seventh Princess’s voice!


She’s cheating...


However, her voice was abruptly stopped only because her transmission was detected by the Great Elder, whose look interrupted the sound wave.


The Seventh Princess jumped up: "That old turtle Great Elder, dare to stop me from transmitting sound, I... I..."


She repeated "I" three or four times, but nothing came out.


For she had no way to constrain the Great Elder.


Dad has been in closed cultivation for years, and all the clan’s affairs are handled by the Great Elder, acting as the proxy clan leader. How can she take revenge?


But the girl is not stupid, she turned to ask for help: "Third Sister, help me send him a secret message. Your Fox Charm Heavenly Sound, I’m sure the Great Elder, this old bastard, can’t intercept it."


"I’ve told you earlier, your destiny is already set, it’s Young Master Li of Heart Pavilion, this concerns the clan’s major plan." Third Sister glanced at her sideways: "Why should I help you ruin the clan’s major plan?"


The Seventh Princess was anxious: "No way, absolutely not! If it weren’t for him, I might have unknowingly married this Uncle Li, but with him, I must marry my Brother Su! Good sister, help me, I’ll agree to anything you ask for..."


"Really?"


"Really!" The Seventh Princess was overjoyed.


"If you succeed, can I borrow him from time to time?"


The Seventh Princess’ eyes widened and she shook her head desperately: "No way! Absolutely no way! You... you practice the Heavenly Fox Charm Technique, no man can resist you, you’d kill him... you can ask for other conditions, even that Heavenly Fox Bracelet."


Inside Gui Hall.


The Great Elder waved his hand gently.


The wall in front suddenly opened, revealing a path.


The path leads to a distant lakeside.


Both sides are lined with peach blossoms.


The wind rises, peach blossoms flutter down gracefully and beautifully.


"Gentlemen, this is Fenghua Road, and that small pavilion is Zuiyue Pavilion," said the Great Elder.


His eyes flickered with light.


Saintess Qian Ling whispered into Lin Xiaosu’s ear: "Little Su, this Great Elder has strong preferences, did you notice?"


"How can one not notice?" Lin Xiaosu replied: "I’ve heard the clan leader is in closed cultivation now, this marriage is undoubtedly arranged by him. Can he watch me stray from his set path?"


"Colluding between referee and contestant, what kind of competition is this..." Saintess Qian Ling sighed: "Did you notice the mystical mechanism of this flower path?"


"Array!" Lin Xiaosu answered with two words.


Saintess Qian Ling’s heart suddenly settled.


Array!


If it were another mechanism, it would be hard to win when the referee was in cahoots with the opposing contestant.


However, this Fenghua Road is an array.


Array is his specialty.


This little rascal really has good luck, blindly choosing and hitting his strongest track.


Once she relaxed, a strange thought suddenly floated in her mind: What’s happening to me? Why am I so eager to help him? He isn’t facing a life-and-death crisis, he’s proposing!


If he succeeds, he will become Qingqiu’s son-in-law.


This Seventh Princess, so lively, fair, and tender, and she looks incredibly innocent and pure, it seems that he likes this type.


If they succeed, surely they’ll be a pair flying together, loving and joyful.


If that’s the case, Qian Ling, are you truly happy?


Saintess Qian Ling asked herself this question, and for a moment, it bewildered her...


"Please proceed, gentlemen!" The Great Elder waved his hand lightly.


Lin Xiaosu stepped in.


Once he stepped in, Gui Hall behind him suddenly vanished.


He was surrounded by peach blossoms.


The wind blew, peach blossoms spiraled down.


Silently, a peach blossom fell on his shoulder, and Lin Xiaosu suddenly felt a weight. This single peach blossom carried hundreds of pounds, with a strange tearing force, impacting his meridians.


This isn’t the weight of the peach blossom.


This is Array Power.


"It’s over!" The Seventh Princess slapped her forehead: "This is just the edge of the array, and he’s already hit! He can’t get through it!"


"This Thousand Tree Peach Blossom Formation was left by our legendary master, and the Zuiyue Pavilion still has her portrait, how can it let outsiders enter freely? Being unable to pass is normal, being able to pass is called seeing ghosts... hmm!"


Third Sister exclaimed lightly.


The Seventh Princess locked eyes: "This Uncle Li’s steps... he knows the secret technique to pass through the array!"


Third Sister took a deep breath: "Now do you understand?"


"Old bastard!" The Seventh Princess jumped up: "I’ll go find him, what is this? Two people competing, the judge giving guidance on the spot, what fairness is there..."


Third Sister stretched out her hand, grabbed her calf, and pulled her back: "Seventh Sister, oh Seventh Sister, when will you understand, where in this world is fairness? It’s all just strategic manipulation on the chessboard."


"Let them scheme and manipulate others, I just want my Brother Su to win this competition!"


"Why are you so stubborn?"


"Because he’s good-looking!"


This hopeless vanity dog, I can’t stand it...


Third Sister rubbed her forehead: "There are plenty of good-looking men in this world."


"Among the men I’ve seen so far, he’s the best-looking. I’ll think about it again if I see someone better after this..."


In the array, Lin Xiaosu walked step by step, peach blossoms floating down petal by petal, on his shoulder, ten pieces, twenty pieces, thirty pieces...


He felt the strange power in the peach blossoms.


He also saw Li Chengnian walking with a certain step method, traversing the peach blossom forest, truly passing through thousands of flowers without a leaf touching him.


This guy, did he get the ’true transmission’ from the Great Elder?


Or is it ’instant transmission’?


Facing this situation where referee and contestant are colluding, he actually has countermeasures, and not just one. The first plan, imitate Li Chengnian’s step method, using his Human Tao Orchid Heart, it’s not difficult. The second plan, touch the Array Eye and break this array. The third plan, he can modify the Array Path settings to show Qingqiu Elders what it means for array path to betray...


However, he did none of these.


Just because, within the falling peach blossom petals, there is a kind of power, vast, majestic, and mysterious...
