Chapter 126: Unable to Keep a Low Profile

Su Jingzhen sighed inwardly in helplessness.

Damn it, am I really that noticeable?

He had deliberately chosen a secluded corner, but Feng Qingya still spotted him immediately.

Yes, the enchanting and graceful figure in front of him was none other than Feng Qingya.

When Su Jingzhen arrived, he hadn’t seen any disciples from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

He was certain that Feng Qingya must have just arrived at the square as well.

“Master Su, why are you sitting here? With your current status, this doesn’t seem appropriate. “

“Did Luo Yuebai really treat you so coldly? Our Treasure Gathering Pavilion always has a room available for you on the second floor. “

“If you’re being mistreated by the Evil Moon Sect, you’re always welcome to visit us at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

Feng Qingya’s voice remained as soft and beautiful as ever, though her words carried a teasing tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, she sat down on a seat next to Su Jingzhen without waiting for his response.

Su Jingzhen replied with a smile, “I just think the view is better from the back. Besides, there’s nothing for me to do today, so I might as well watch from here.”

He spoke sincerely, but Feng Qingya only smiled faintly without commenting on his words.

She knew very well that if Luo Yuebai didn’t have any plans for Su Jingzhen today, it would be highly unusual.

Feng Qingya nodded in agreement, “You’re right. I’ve never sat in a corner like this before, and the view is indeed quite clear. “

“You can see everyone who arrives. By the way, you don’t mind if I sit next to you, do you?”

Su Jingzhen’s face showed a trace of a bitter smile again, “Of course, I don’t mind.”

However, his wish to keep a low profile today might be shattered by Feng Qingya’s presence.

No matter where she was or what the occasion, Feng Qingya was always the center of attention.

Wherever she sat, that place would become the focal point.

As a result, Su Jingzhen also became a topic of discussion among the crowd.

“It turns out that Su Jingzhen is sitting there. No wonder the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion went over to that spot.”

“It seems that Su Jingzhen has truly become the biggest celebrity in our Linjiang City. “

“Currently, both the Evil Moon Sect in Linjiang City and the Treasure Gathering Pavilion seem to value him greatly.”

“But what exactly is the reason for this?”

“Could it be just because of his cultivation in Body Refining, which is comparable to Foundation Establishment?”

“But the path of Body Refining is considered inferior in this world of cultivation.”

“If it’s about looks, I dare say I’m even more handsome than Su Jingzhen. How come I haven’t won the favor of Miss Feng?”

“… ”

At this moment, many onlookers who didn’t even qualify for a seat were casting envious and jealous glances at Su Jingzhen.

“Miss Feng, do you know why the Evil Moon Sect has prepared so many seats this time? “

“If it’s just for Linjiang City, there shouldn’t be enough people qualified to attend the celebration of the Evil Moon Sect, right?”

Since Feng Qingya chose to sit beside him, he directly voiced his doubts.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya still wore the same smile on her face.

“As the most powerful demonic sect in the Qingzhou region, the Evil Moon Sect, establishing a branch sect is a significant event. Naturally, it wouldn’t just invite people from Linjiang City.”

“Representatives from dozens of small towns and several big cities in the surrounding areas will also come to celebrate.”

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “In the Qingzhou region, at least those eight major sects you saw that day, none of them are individually launching a frontal assault on the Evil Moon Sect.”

“As for cooperation, although the orthodox sects seem united, they have their own conflicts and are reluctant to cooperate sincerely.”

“So, since the establishment of the Linjiang branch sect by the Evil Moon Sect, no orthodox cultivators have intervened, which tacitly acknowledges their existence.”

“Even though sects like the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and the Spirit Sound Valley won’t come to celebrate.”

“As for other smaller sects around the Evil Moon Sect, even if they are orthodox, they still need to maintain good relations with the Evil Moon Sect on the surface.”

“Moreover, now that the Huayang Sect has been destroyed, the balance of power between the righteous and demonic paths in the Qingzhou region is even more stable.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen understood.

Most cultivators in the cultivation world are not as free and righteous as people imagine.

Many times, they have to act according to the situation.

Even if I don’t like you, I still need to greet you with a smile.

Otherwise, for those small cultivating families and sects, there is always the danger of being destroyed by the Evil Moon Sect at any time.

While Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya were conversing, some people quickly took their seats in front of them.

The seats that Su Jingzhen originally thought wouldn’t be filled up seemed to be filled after all.

During their casual conversation, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but look at Feng Qingya and ask, “Miss Feng, another day has passed. “

“Have the ingredients for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill been delivered?”

Having just improved the quality of his spiritual roots, Su Jingzhen was eager to test the current success rate of the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya giggled coquettishly, “It seems Master Su is quite impatient.”

“The ingredients have arrived, but this is not a place for transactions. “

“And I didn’t bring the ingredients with me. However, after things are settled here, Master Su can follow me to retrieve them. “

“Same place as before, you know.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya leaned closer to Su Jingzhen.

Her breath was as fragrant as orchids, gently blowing on Su Jingzhen’s ear.

Under the public gaze, Su Jingzhen felt as if he was already on the spot, not by Luo Yuebai’s fire, but by Feng Qingya’s teasing.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen could feel countless eyes on him, many of them sharp and piercing.

In just a few appearances in Linjiang City, Feng Qingya had already been regarded as an untouchable goddess by countless people.

However in front of Feng Qingya’s teasing at this moment Su Jingzhen was quite calm in his heart.

No matter how youthful he was, he couldn’t have any romantic thoughts about Feng Qingya in public.

Just then, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Evil Moon Sect suddenly approached Feng Qingya and Su Jingzhen.

“Greetings, Master Su, and Miss Feng.”

“I am Mo Bei, an official of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.”

“The celebration ceremony is about to begin, and my Master Yue specifically instructed me to invite you both to your exclusive seats.”

The invitation from Mo Bei, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, once again left Su Jingzhen stunned.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He thought he could quietly participate by choosing a corner seat.

First, Feng Qingya came over and made him one of the focal points of the crowd.

Now, Mo Bei came over to invite them specially, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile.

At this moment, the surrounding spectators also heard Mo Bei’s words, and they were extremely shocked.

“Did you hear that?”

“This Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Evil Moon Sect called Su Jingzhen before inviting Feng Qingya.”

“Doesn’t that mean, in the eyes of the Evil Moon Sect, Su Jingzhen’s status is higher than that of the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?”

“Wow… this Su Jingzhen…”

“He seems to be getting more and more mysterious…”
