314: Chapter 313: Hua Wanqing and Liu Beixing 314: Chapter 313: Hua Wanqing and Liu Beixing Peach Blossom Island, with its peach blossoms blooming all year round, was a riot of gorgeous red, stunningly beautiful, referred to as an immortal island in the East Sea.
“This is the place where I, Hua Qianshu of Peach Blossom Island, meet respected guests.
You guards do not qualify to enter.
Just wait here.” Hua Qianshu raised his head, giving Lin Bai and the others a disdainful glance.
“I am not a guard.” Lin Bai shook his head.
“Hehe, that’s right, an envoy’s guard can’t possibly be a martial artist at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer like you.
Even at worst, they must be at my level, at the Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer.” Hua Qianshu sneered as he looked at Lin Bai.
Su Xianmei turned around, holding Lin Bai’s hand, and asked, “This is my younger brother.
He wants to come in with me.
Is that alright?”
Upon hearing Su Xianmei’s words, Hua Qianshu quickly smiled broadly and responded: “Since it’s Envoy’s younger brother, of course, he can come in with you.
But Envoy, is he your blood brother?”
Su Xianmei shook her head slightly, “Though not a blood brother, he is indeed more dear to me than one.”
Upon hearing her words, an almost imperceptible glint flickered in Hua Qianshu’s eyes.
Su Xianmei, holding Lin Bai’s hand, walked into the tower.
Hua Qianshu cast a cold glance at the other people from the Treasure Pavilion and sternly scolded: “You are not the Envoy’s brothers, are you?
If not, then all of you should stay here.”
“Let me remind you, Peach Blossom Island is full of traps and magic circles.
If you venture in rashly and lose your life, don’t you dare say we of Peach Blossom Island didn’t warn you.”
Hua Qianshu’s words were filled with arrogance and pride.
The guards from the Treasure Pavilion sneered disdainfully, staying where they were.
Su Xianmei whispered, “These uncivilized people from the East Sea haven’t seen much of the world and are too arrogant.”
Lin Bai chuckled: “People, after all, should always remain humble.
In this world, no matter how strong you claim to be, there will always be someone stronger.
Being too arrogant isn’t good.”
Su Xianmei giggled and replied: “You are one to talk!
You can be remarkably humble at times, but when you decide to be arrogant, you are incredibly so.
I heard that during the Martial Arts Competition at the Outer Sect of the Spirit Sword Sect, you alone took on dozens of martial artists of the same state.
Wouldn’t you say that was pretty arrogant?”
Lin Bai laughed awkwardly: “Sister Su, that was not arrogance, but confidence.
Because I know that even if they all attack at once, I am confident in my ability to kill them all.”
Su Xianmei gave a small smile, not continuing the argument.
The pair walked a few steps ahead, and a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe emerged from the tower to greet them.
“I am Hua Qinghai, the East Sea Head of the Treasure Pavilion, and I am honored by your presence, Envoy.”
Su Xianmei bowed slightly in response: “My name is Su Xianmei, and this is my younger brother.”
Lin Bai returned the salutation with a bow.
Hua Qinghai chuckled, saying: “Hahaha, Envoy, your visit is timely.
My son and one of the Seven Kings from Canghai Yuntai Palace, Liu Beixing, are currently visiting.”
Su Xianmei expressed her surprise: “So one of the Seven Kings from Canghai Sky Palace is here.
I have long heard that they are all remarkable figures, and I have been hoping to meet them.
Today must be my lucky day.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai also took interest.
One of the Seven Kings from Canghai Sky Palace was here at Peach Blossom Island.
Peach Blossom Island, one of the three renowned islands in the East Sea, clearly demonstrated the high regard it was held by Eastern Sea martial artists.
The Flower Clan of Peach Blossom Island was a large clan of independent cultivators in the East Sea, with many skilled martial artists in their ranks.
Hua Qinghai had two sons.
The Hua Qianshu they’d just met was Hua Qinghai’s younger son.
As for Hua Qinghai’s elder son, his name was Hua Wanqing.
He had been sent by his father to Canghai Yuntai Palace for training years ago, and over the years, Hua Wanqing had made quite a name for himself at Canghai Yuntai Palace, becoming one of its Seven Kings.
Just a few days ago, Hua Wanqing and Liu Beixing had set out to train overseas and casually decided to stay on Peach Blossom Island for a few days.
Two outstanding disciples from Canghai Yuntai Palace, one of the seven kings, came to Peach Blossom Island, which made Hua Qinghai overly delighted.
Although Peach Blossom Island was highly respected in the East Sea, Hua Qinghai knew that in front of the royal family of Shenwu Kingdom, let alone the four major sects, they were just insignificant overseas ants.
And indeed, it was so.
Peach Blossom Island, although highly renowned in the East Sea, was a major power that dominated one part of the lands.
However, all things considered, there were merely a few experts on Peach Blossom Island who had achieved the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer.
Compared to the Shenwu Kingdom and the four major sects, they fell far behind.
The crowd belonged to the Spirit Sword Sect, which currently had more than fifty elders at the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer within the sect.
Even more were from Canghai Yuntai Palace, rumored to be over five hundred.
But no exact number was provided by Canghai Yuntai Palace.
Inside the pavilion, two handsome princes were laughing and talking casually.
When they spotted Su Xianmei, both of them stopped talking at the same time, their eyes shining as they watched Su Xianmei’s alluring figure, looking quite stunned.
Hua Qinghai led Lin Bai and Su Xianmei into the pavilion and after settling them down, he smiled and said, “Let me introduce you all.”
The people here are the Inspector Envoys of the Treasure Pavilion, Su Xianmei, Miss Su.”
“The one beside her is her younger brother.”
“This one here is my eldest son, Hua Wanqing.”
As Hua Qinghai introduced them, the man in the peach blossom robe among the two handsome princes smiled at Su Xianmei, “My name is Hua Wanqing.
Nice to meet you, Miss Su.
As expected, Miss Su is indeed a rare beauty in the world.”
Su Xianmei responded with an inscrutable smile, “Brother Hua flatters me.”
Hua Qinghai continued his introduction, “This one is from Canghai Sky Palace…”
Before Hua Qinghai could finish, the other man interjected impatiently, “I’m Liu Beixing, an inner-sect disciple of Canghai Sky Palace, with a cultivation level at the Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer.
I’m known by the disciples inside as one of the Seven Kings!”
Lin Bai glanced at Liu Beixing.
This man’s cultivation was even higher than Yi Han’s, but he seemed to be quite a bit older than twenty.
Su Xianmei smiled coolly, “So, it’s an elite from Canghai Yuntai Palace.
Your reputation precedes you.
It seems that your reputation is indeed not unfounded.”
Liu Beixing let out a hearty laugh, his eyes never leaving Su Xianmei.
Hua Qinghai continued, “That one is my youngest son, also the junior island lord of Peach Blossom Island, Hua Qianshu.
I believe all of the envoys have met him before.”
Su Xianmei smiled, “Young master Hua Qianshu, a refined young man with profoundly immeasurable cultivation.
Peach Blossom Island is truly a place that produces excellent warriors.”
“Hahaha, you flatter us, Envoy.” Hua Qinghai burst into laughter at Su Xianmei’s words.
Getting approval from Su Xianmei wasn’t something everyone could achieve.
Lin Bai stood quietly next to Su Xianmei, his gaze sweeping over Liu Beixing, Hua Wanqing, and Hua Qianshu who were all eyeing Su Xianmei like hungry wolves.
Lin Bai smiled indifferently.
But he didn’t blame them at all.
Su Xianmei was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.
