Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Everyone Loves Qiu Changtian

[Location: Kunlun Taiqing Sect, Golden Ridge Cave Abode.]

[Character Identity: Qiu Changtian.]

[Overlaying the Mirror Flower Water Moon Template, currently traveling through time and space.]

His body was transported to the Golden Ridge Cave Abode, and the art of Mirror Flower Water Moon accordingly adjusted itself.

Whether it was his hairstyle or the aura he exuded, both had transformed from Luo Yan to Qiu Changtian.

Another application of the Universal Pure Tone Minor Illumination Technique allowed the emotions stirred up by Shi Liuli to calm down.

Qiu Changtian calmly picked up the bronze mirror beside his stone bed and looked at his own face.

Still as handsome as ever.

It seems my appearance is quite suitable for the role of a dashing young master.

Setting down the bronze mirror, Qiu Changtian then sat upright with eyes closed, quietly cultivating his spirit.

The junior brothers and sisters arrived at the cave abode one after another, prepared to listen to the lecture from the chief disciple.

The Ziwei Master held lectures for all the chief disciples once every ten days, while Qiu Changtian held lectures for his junior brothers and sisters every morning, followed by a Q&A session.

It wasn’t until Qiu Changtian finished expounding on “Harmonize with the outer light and dust, while inwardly maintaining the true one—such is the subtlety of these words” that the junior brothers and sisters looked at each other, wanting to speak but hesitating.

“If you have any questions, speak them all,” Qiu Changtian said indifferently.

“If I may,” Chen Zhen blurted out, “are senior brother and second senior sister truly Daoist companions?”

Qiu Changtian managed to control his facial expression well, not letting anyone detect any hint, meanwhile, Xu Yinglian, sitting quietly to the side, unexpectedly said with coldness:

“No.”

That was the truth.

The two were only engaged, not yet officially Daoist companions.

Daoist companionship is more casual compared to mundane marriage, hence The Xu Family of Southern Heaven let the betrothed couple decide on the wedding date themselves, with the deadline being before Qiu Changtian’s Core Formation.

Because upon successful Core Formation, Qiu Changtian would become a True Person of Kunlun. If the relationship had not been confirmed by then, they feared unforeseen complications.

The intention of the Ziwei Master was that as long as Xu Yinglian’s obsessive thoughts didn’t worsen, delaying the matter was acceptable.

But if these thoughts deepened into a flaw in her Daoist heart, they would need to become Daoist companions immediately, requiring Qiu Changtian to put aside his own cultivation for a time and focus on helping her resolve her inner conflict.

The idea Xu Yinglian had settled on was to delay for as long as possible.

The key was that she must achieve Core Formation before Qiu Changtian!

As long as she became a Golden Core True Person first, The Xu Family of Southern Heaven couldn’t possibly fall out with her, and the matter could be dragged on.

As for calling off the engagement, she hadn’t considered that… not because she was reluctant to part with Qiu Changtian, but because on one hand, she worried about a fallout with her clan, and on the other hand, having the senior brother Qiu out front could ward off many bothersome suitors.

Even before coming to this side of Kunlun, she had a whole pack of sycophants within her family.

Of course, as a fairy with a cold temperament, Xu Yinglian would never give these sycophants any face, but she still couldn’t stand the incessant bribery of her maids and the snooping around for every bit of gossip about her, which was truly annoying.

Seeing Xu Yinglian’s clear denial, the junior brothers and sisters once again exchanged silent glances.

Jian Qingnan then held his forehead and sighed,

“This is bad. If they find out senior brother is still single, they might just turn Kunlun upside down.”

Qiu Changtian: ?

Xu Yinglian: ?

“Senior brother and senior sister don’t know.” Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Zhong Tianhuai also explained, “Senior brother Qiu, because of his many experiences outside, has gained tremendous reputation among the outer sect disciples.”

“Not to mention this generation, even the two hundred and seventy-ninth, seventy-eighth generation of outer sect disciples have many who have heard of senior brother Qiu’s great name.”

“Additionally, among the Inner Sect Disciples of this generation, there are also quite a few loyal followers of Senior Brother Qiu…”

“Hold on a second,” Qiu Changtian said, puzzled, “It’s one thing for the Outer Sect disciples, but I know fewer than five Inner Sect Disciples. How did I gain followers among them?”

“Because Senior Brother, you’re just too handsome,” Jian Qingnan sighed and said, “You’re also strong and hold a high status.”

“If that were all, it would be fine. Since they can’t see you normally, everyone would just treat you as an untouchable celestial idol, respecting you from a distance.”

“But the key point is that you, Senior Brother Qiu, are always out and about, making contact with everyone without putting on airs, and blending in… If you didn’t have any popularity among the Kunlun disciples after that, now that would be strange, wouldn’t it?”

Qiu Changtian fell silent for a moment, and couldn’t help but inwardly curse his oversight.

Curse this overwhelming personal charm of mine!

Initially, I was just looking for someone to show off to, to boost my Synchronization Value, but I didn’t expect to build an invincible character setting and inadvertently cultivate a large group of fans!

“From the same Kunlun, we assist each other with righteousness.” Yan Zhitui suddenly stood up, bowing respectfully, “Senior Brother’s generous words from the past, I’ve also recently heard from fellow disciples. Your profound words are awakening and inspiring, moving people’s hearts. Please allow me to express my admiration with a bow.”

Qiu Changtian: ……….

Wait! That was just because after I made a move, they wouldn’t stop thanking me, so I filled their mouths with fancy words to thank them in return. How did that become proof of my noble character?

After Yan Zhitui completed his grand bow, Guan Zhan let out a snicker and turned his head away.

Everyone was somewhat aware of this Third Senior Brother’s caustic nature, so they didn’t take it too seriously.

Jian Qingnan immediately laughed and said:

“Indeed, that’s true. If it were any other Chief Disciple, who would be so kind-hearted?”

“From the same Kunlun, we assist each other with righteousness. Not only does Fourth Senior Brother like this saying, but several Inner Sect female disciples I know were also warmed by it, so much so that they asked me to inquire whether Chief Disciple and Second Senior Sister have a Daoist Companion relationship.”

“If Senior Brother has already been overtaken by Junior Sister Ying Lian, then they have no chance, and they can only nurture a secret affection, carrying a silent and unrequited love.”

“If they knew that Senior Brother hadn’t taken Junior Sister Ying Lian as a Daoist Companion, I reckon they would be eager to compete.”

Xu Yinglian: !

What, someone wants to compete with me?

Although she questioned her interest in Qiu Changtian in a romantic sense, the word “compete” instantly ignited her fighter’s spirit.

Seeing her expression darken, everyone understood that even if Xu Yinglian hadn’t established a Daoist Companion relationship with Qiu Changtian, their relationship didn’t seem to be that of just pure Senior Brother and Junior Sister.

“Ahem, I’m truly unworthy of such high esteem from my peers,” Qiu Changtian finally spoke up.

“However, I’m currently not inclined to consider matters of love. Junior Sister, if you come across them again, you may relay my words to them.”

Xu Yinglian’s expression softened.

“I refuse,” Jian Qingnan said with a smile, “They’re interested in you, Senior Brother, not me. How could I speak on your behalf and reject them outright?”

“Indeed,” Xu Yinglian said expressionlessly, “If you’re going to reject them, you should do it yourself. What’s the meaning of letting Qing Nan do it?”

“Without any proof, how can Qing Nan speak for you? If others doubt there’s someone behind her pulling the strings, what then?”

“Ahem, everyone knows Qing Nan is my Junior Sister. Who else could have instructed her to convey these words if not me…”

Qiu Changtian had only said half a sentence when he saw Xu Yinglian giving him a deathly gaze that seemed like she could kill.

He quickly realized the error and shifted his tone, saying:

“But Junior Sister Xu does have a point.”

“Um, Junior Sister, let’s not bring up this matter for now. I have my own plans.

Anyway… there’s no way I’m having a harem!

If I, Qiu Changtian, have agreed to take Junior Sister Xu as my Daoist Companion, I absolutely won’t lay a finger on any other woman!”
