Chapter 138: Chapter 138: From Dutiful Senior Sister to Demon Cultivator 12

“What does Ying Zhefeng matter? As long as our Ruyi Sect becomes powerful and stands at the top of the Cultivation World, you can choose any male cultivator here.” Tan Baolin laughed, glancing at Jing Zheng, “Actually, our Sect Leader isn’t bad either. If you like him, that’s even better.”

Jing Zheng’s gaze fixed on Ah Chen, somewhat moved, and he said, “But I can’t tolerate other men. If you choose me, you can’t choose anyone else.”

In the shadows, Ying Zhefeng found this Demon Cultivator amusing. She hadn’t even said she wanted to choose him, yet he was already setting conditions. People would think she was desperate for him.

This Demon Cultivator really has a lot of nerve.

Liang Xiang burst out laughing, “I wondered why the Sect Leader is so actively present now; turns out he’s long had his eye on Yun. Yun, the Sect Leader is being so forward, do you want to join our Ruyi Sect? I’ve never seen him act this way towards a woman.”

However, Meng Yue pursed her lips, seeing Jing Zheng’s gaze on Ah Chen, she sighed lightly and said no more. Since the Sect Leader has no interest in her, choosing Yun Chen is good for Ruyi Sect too; Yun Chen is a very promising Demon Cultivator.

This person could single-handedly challenge the entire Lingxiao Sect; with her joining, Ruyi Sect would surely become much stronger.

Ah Chen shook her head, “I do not like your Sect Leader.”

People in the Cultivation World have somehow spread rumors about her looking like some lustful enchantress?

Jing Zheng clenched his fist, expressionless, asking, “Is it that you only like Ying Zhefeng?”

Ah Chen smiled, “Yes.”

“As long as you join Ruyi Sect,” Jing Zheng released his fist, as if deciding on something, “we’ll find a way together to bind Ying Zhefeng for you. Does this work?”

These people really are…

Ah Chen couldn’t help but start laughing; it’s clear they really want her to join.

But she’s not interested.

How long it would take them to bind Ying Zhefeng, who knows, how many years? Together they couldn’t withstand a single strike from him.

“I don’t need you to bind anyone.” Ying Zhefeng finally couldn’t stay hidden, his figure instantly appearing next to Ah Chen.

A cold and sharp aura pressed onto the four of them, they were somewhat overwhelmed and quickly retreated, each with a guarded expression, even Jing Zheng was full of seriousness.

Ying Zhefeng is actually here?

“You all can’t withstand a single strike of mine,” Ying Zhefeng said in a flat tone, filled with mockery, “What power do you have to bind me?”

“You talk big in front of everyone, must be empty words, talking about working together to bind me, does that mean she must help too? You demon cultivators really know how to grasp opportunities without earning them. When discussing conditions, isn’t it supposed to be things you can accomplish first? Ridiculous!”

“From today onwards, I’m following you.” Ying Zhefeng said, “These few are full of sly notions; you’re a new demon cultivator, don’t fall for their deceitful words and get tricked.”

She was once a righteous cultivator, just recently converted to demon cultivation, unaware of the intrigue among demon cultivators.

In this period, he had heard many things about Yun Chen.

She hadn’t left the Sect since arriving in the Cultivation World, always within Lingxiao Sect, moreover, she has always been kind-hearted, never having faced outside dangers. With her cultivation, anyone who tries to strongarm her is surely asking for trouble.

But if those demon cultivators try to deceive her, that could be different.

Ah Chen asked, “What will you do by following me?”

Thinking of how she hid herself for quite some time, Ying Zhefeng said, “I’ve never intended harm upon you; don’t be afraid nor hide.”

Ah Chen found it strange, what’s there to be afraid of?

“By following you, I can gradually understand.” He said again, his gaze serious, yet somewhat uneasy. He couldn’t outrightly say, understand her better to see if they could be Dao partners, as that’s a bit abrupt.

The matter of Dao companionship, he hadn’t considered before, but now he’s contemplating.

Well, he’s thinking about it daily.

Closing his eyes, her face appears.

Only in sword practice can he focus without distraction; as soon as he pauses, his thoughts uncontrollably return to her.

Sometimes even the notion arises to act as a demon cultivator, forcibly bring her back, keep her by his side to stop himself from unnecessary thoughts.

Of course, this thought gets suppressed by Ying Zhefeng immediately.

To this suddenly emerging strange thought, Ying Zhefeng is quite concerned, suspecting he might have slain too many demon cultivators, showing signs of deviation.

For now, nothing is evident.

Even if he does fall to deviation, it wouldn’t matter, he’s confident he won’t harm the innocent, for him, the distinction between righteous and demon cultivators isn’t major.

After some time, he judged he only harbored such thoughts toward her, while remaining normal otherwise.

As he sighed in relief, he also felt a bit embarrassed.

Yet he can’t ignore her existence anymore.

Thus he sought her whereabouts everywhere, regardless of whether, on that day, she intended to mislead him or was serious, he took it earnestly.

“If I wanted to kill you, I would have acted that day. I’m always direct; I don’t beat around the bush.”

Ying Zhefeng grew a bit anxious seeing Ah Chen speechless.

Whilst keeping an eye on the surroundings, using slight spiritual power for a lock, fearing she might suddenly flee.

It’s not about blocking her, just wanting to react promptly if she does flee, so to swiftly catch up.

The locked environment wouldn’t hinder her departure; she could still leave easily.

But she’s too adept at hiding; last time he just couldn’t find her, resorting to this method to prevent her from disappearing again and making him search for ages.

Ah Chen sensed the subtle stagnation of spiritual power around, finding it amusing.

He wants to block her yet dares not fully obstruct.

“Then just follow me.” Ah Chen smiled with eyes bent in laughter, “Besides, I’m not afraid of you; why should I fear you?”

Ying Zhefeng edged slightly closer, finally feeling relieved.

Her demeanor was calm, a smile on her face, truly showing she wasn’t afraid.

She hasn’t even guarded against him at all, leaving Ying Zhefeng a bit astonished, “When traveling outside, it’s better to keep some guard, like we’re so close now I could launch a sneak attack on you, hard for you to fend off.”

She indeed lacks some experience outside.

He must accompany her to shield against potential harm from others.

The four of Jing Zheng stood baffled, is this still the fearsome Ying Jianjun toward demon cultivators?

So, this is the advantage of looking attractive?

“Is vigilance necessary when going out?” Ah Chen smiled with pursed lips, her eyes innocent, filled with puzzlement, tilting her head asking, “But shouldn’t one as noble as Ying Jianjun be wary?”

Ying Zhefeng felt slightly awkward being observed, yet reluctant to shift his gaze elsewhere, “It’s better to be cautious; the Cultivation World is rife with danger. I surely won’t harm you, but cultivating the habit of being vigilant avoids pitfalls, even those seemingly close might stab you when least expected, and realizing after it’s too late.”

Naturally, he hopes she won’t guard herself against him.

However, he even more wishes she doesn’t suffer harm.

So, guarding everything seems wise.

She lacks experience; he traversed countless paths in the Cultivation World and can teach her along the way.

“I rarely leave, surely ignorant of these. Ying Jianjun must teach me well.” Ah Chen smiled at him.

Suddenly feeling a warmth in his heart, Ying Zhefeng agreed, “Alright.”
