Chapter 127: Master Yue, Chief Saintess

At this moment, the gazes of the people around Su Jingzhen became even more peculiar.

Especially those who knew him before he rose to fame found it even more incredible.

Having been in Linjiang City for more than two years, he had been quiet, but now he was suddenly in the spotlight.

Yet, Su Jingzhen still didn’t want to go to the very front, where he would attract even more attention.

He couldn’t help but say, “I think this position is fine. Perhaps we don’t need to trouble Daoist Mo.”

However, upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Mo Bei’s lips curled into a smile once again.

“Both of you are esteemed guests of our Evil Moon Sect. Sitting at the back would make it seem like our Evil Moon Sect lacks hospitality, wouldn’t it?”

“Please don’t embarrass me, Master Su. Otherwise, Master Yue may have to reprimand me later.”

With Mo Bei’s words reaching this point, if Su Jingzhen insisted, it would be considered a lack of respect.

He gave a helpless smile to Feng Qingya.

Before he could speak, Feng Qingya said, “If Master Su sat here and the Evil Moon Sect continued to ignore him, then perhaps after today, I will really have to invite Master Su to stay at our Treasure Gathering Pavilion for a few days.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya stood up proactively.

Su Jingzhen smiled again, “In that case, I can only comply.”

Following Mo Bei’s lead, Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya moved to the front row in the center of the thousands of seats.

“Daoist Mo, are you sure this is where I should sit?”

Looking at this position, Su Jingzhen felt a slight tremor in his heart.

This… was the best spot in the entire venue.

He couldn’t understand why he, Su Jingzhen, had the privilege to sit in this position.

Even though Luo Yuebai was the main figure of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect today and might have to preside over some matters on stage, shouldn’t this position be reserved for someone else?

Although Feng Qingya, as the head of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City, was seated adjacent to him, both of their positions were slightly off-center compared to his.

Mo Bei nodded with a smile, “Yes, this is what Master Yue personally instructed.”

Although Mo Bei and even all the other disciples of the Evil Moon Sect found it somewhat unbelievable.

Even without understanding this decision.

But this was indeed what Luo Yuebai said.

And when it came to Luo Yuebai’s orders, they just had to obey.

Su Jingzhen took a deep breath, feeling somewhat helpless.

All the surrounding seats were taken, and since he had already walked to this position, should he not sit down?

Or should he just calmly take his seat?

Su Jingzhen once again felt the gaze of everyone in the audience on him.

While some eyes were filled with envy and jealousy, many others were simply shocked.

The representatives of the cultivating families and small sects from the surrounding cities of Linjiang City were particularly puzzled.

“Who is that young man? How can he sit in such a prominent position?”

“I heard that the person in charge of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect had a friend who helped him destroy the Huayang branch sect.”

“Wasn’t that a Body Cultivator with considerable strength? Could it be this young man?”

“Even so, is it appropriate for him to sit in that position?”

…

Among the guests who received invitations to attend the celebration, many were leaders of small cultivating families and small sects from the surrounding areas.

Most of these people were also at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Hundreds of cultivators of this level had their eyes on Su Jingzhen at the same time.

The pressure on him was quite significant.

“Master Su, this feels good, right?”

“With all eyes on you.”

Sensing Su Jingzhen’s nervousness, Feng Qingya timely teased.

Feng Qingya couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Perhaps no one was more high-profile than him today.

It was really ironic.

Feng Qingya added, “But to wear the crown, one must bear its weight.”

“The Evil Moon Sect, or rather Luo Yuebai, has raised Master Su to such a high position. The pressure you’re feeling now is only natural.”

At this moment, Feng Qingya was watching with an attitude of watching a good show.

She knew that Luo Yuebai’s arrangement must have deeper meaning.

So what Su Jingzhen would face today might be more than just this.

But Feng Qingya wasn’t overly worried about the Evil Moon Sect’s attention to Su Jingzhen.

Many times, what the Treasure Gathering Pavilion could offer Su Jingzhen, the Evil Moon Sect couldn’t. So she wasn’t worried that Su Jingzhen wouldn’t cooperate with her.

Moreover, during the incident at the Cuiliu Alley, she and Luo Yuebai had already reached certain cooperation.

So Su Jingzhen could naturally guess that today’s events wouldn’t be simple, and he was somewhat nervous.

But now that things had come to this point, what could he do?

He could only face it calmly.

Amidst the countless discussions, the thousands of seats were all filled.

Those who should come and those who shouldn’t, all had arrived.

But Su Jingzhen still hadn’t seen Luo Yuebai’s figure.

“Friend Luo is still being mysterious.”

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help muttering to himself.

Upon hearing his words, Feng Qingya beside him once again wore a strange smile.

“When Friend Luo comes out later, Master Su, don’t be surprised.”

Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow, not understanding Feng Qingya’s meaning at the moment.

As they chatted, about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed.

Suddenly, Su Jingzhen heard a commotion from the crowd behind him.

Looking towards one end of the square, he saw a group of people slowly approaching from the side.

And when he saw the person walking at the forefront, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

Feng Qingya beside him, however, kept smiling.

The group of people consisted of nineteen individuals.

One person led at the front, with the remaining eighteen following behind.

The person at the front was dressed in a plain white gown, with a solemn expression.

Her face was extremely cold, yet breathtakingly beautiful, with a hint of strangeness.

Her hair was casually scattered behind her, and she held a censer solemnly in her hands.

Her style seemed completely different from Feng Qingya’s, yet equally stunning.

In the censer she held, three long incense sticks stood upright.

She walked solemnly at the front, step by step ascending the platform built in the center.

Placing the censer solemnly in the center.

Behind the censer was a flag bearing a blood-red crescent moon.

It was none other than the emblem of the Evil Moon Sect.

“Is… is that Friend Luo?”

It took Su Jingzhen a long time to come back to his senses, and he blurted out.

The shock in his heart was beyond words.

Before, Luo Yuebai’s beauty had made him feel a bit strange, like a typical pretty boy.

Even though Su Jingzhen considered himself extremely handsome, he still felt inferior in front of Luo Yuebai.

But now, Luo Yuebai’s appearance seemed even more reasonable!

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s shocked expression,

Feng Qingya beside him found a great deal of satisfaction in his amusement.

Feng Qingya chuckled again and said, “Master Su, do you know the full title of Friend Luo, ‘Master Yue’?

“She’s the Chief Saintess of the Evil Moon Sect…”
