Chapter 128: Three Matters

Chief Saintess…

Upon hearing Feng Qingya’s words, Su Jingzhen was dumbfounded.

He suddenly remembered the blush on Luo Yuebai’s face yesterday morning.

That damn… it wasn’t because of the supposed vigor from the blood in the Black Wind Leopard meat at all.

It was because he kept making suggestive remarks in front of her.

Even though she held a high position, she was still a young woman.

Thinking that he even let her soak Leopard Whip Wine…

Su Jingzhen felt endless shame in his heart.

However, none of this mattered.

What mattered was that his previous worries could finally be dispelled.

At the same time, he was certain of one thing in his mind.

“My empathy system, it seems like it can really only connect with women.”

“There won’t be any ‘man on man’ situations happening.”

As Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.

The awkward feeling in his heart instantly dissipated.

“Giggles…”

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s dumbfounded look, Feng Qingya laughed again.

“Master Su, are you lost in thought?”

She couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

Su Jingzhen snapped out of it, looking genuinely embarrassed.

“Well… um… I didn’t expect Friend Luo to be a woman, I really didn’t think about it before.”

He paused, then continued, “My knowledge of the Evil Moon Sect was limited to just hearing the name of the sect…”

He was speaking the truth this time.

Being at the bottom of the cultivation world, how could he know about the personnel of such a demonic sect like the Evil Moon Sect?

As Su Jingzhen finished speaking, Feng Qingya glanced at Luo Yuebai on the stage.

Then she touched her own cheek and asked Su Jingzhen, “So… Master Su, do you think it’s Friend  Luo on the stage who is beautiful, or is it Qingya?”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya didn’t forget to throw a flirtatious glance at Su Jingzhen.

Regarding this, Su Jingzhen once again showed a hint of embarrassment.

This question was really hard for him to answer.

Because these two women had completely different styles.

They each had their own merits, making it difficult to choose between them.

Su Jingzhen directly changed the subject.

He said, “Miss Feng, I suppose you already knew about Friend Luo’s identity long ago, didn’t you?”

Feng Qingya gave him a glance but didn’t dwell on the previous topic.

She smiled again and said, “Of course I knew, after all, the Saintess Luo Yuebai of the Evil Moon Sect has quite a reputation in the Qingzhou region.”

Su Jingzhen: “…”

Indeed, all the awkwardness stemmed from his lack of information.

If he had paid more attention to the affairs of the cultivation world before, perhaps some embarrassment could have been avoided.

Then he added, “However, I didn’t even notice any anomalies when Senior Luo disguised herself as a man before…”

“Giggles… cultivators have many means.”

“Master Su’s cultivation level is lower than Senior Luo’s. If she deliberately used some special methods, you naturally wouldn’t see any flaws.”

Feng Qingya giggled again.

And at this moment, when they saw Luo Yuebai’s true appearance.

It wasn’t just Su Jingzhen who was dumbfounded.

On the entire square, except for the disciples of the Evil Moon Sect who already knew what their Saintess looked like, everyone else was momentarily shocked.

“So… the person in charge of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch is actually a woman!”

“Rumors say that the current Chief Saintess of the Evil Moon Sect is peerlessly stunning, it must be her.”

“It’s said that this Saintess has a high position in the Evil Moon Sect, her cultivation talent is also extremely outstanding, and she actually came to the Linjiang branch. It seems that the Evil Moon Sect values this branch quite a bit.”

…

After the shock, there was a wave of curious discussions.

And at this moment, Luo Yuebai on the stage had already lit the three long incense sticks in the incense burner.

The wisps of blue smoke spread over the sinister moon flag behind her, adding a sense of solemnity with a hint of mystery.

The eighteen people who came up with her were now standing on both sides of the sinister moon flag, chanting something in their mouths.

It seemed like they were reciting some kind of mysterious ritual text.

Throughout this process, Luo Yuebai remained extremely solemn.

Standing quietly in front of the sinister moon flag, her hands forming a circle.

This ritual took a full stick of incense’s time.

When the three incense sticks in the incense burner burned out, the ceremony finally ended.

And then, Luo Yuebai turned around to face everyone present.

At this moment, her face finally softened.

A beautiful curve formed at the corner of her mouth.

She didn’t waste time with pleasantries like others.

“Today is the celebration of the establishment of our Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang City branch.”

“I have three matters to announce.”

As Luo Yuebai began speaking, the entire square fell silent once again.

They all knew that whatever Luo Yuebai was about to say would likely be extremely important.

Luo Yuebai’s gaze swept over everyone present, deliberately pausing on Su Jingzhen for two seconds.

“The first matter, I, Luo Yuebai, the Chief Saintess of the Evil Moon Sect.”

“From today onwards, I will be in charge of the Linjiang branch, which means I am also the head of the Linjiang branch!”

As soon as she said this, all the Evil Moon Sect cultivators in the audience knelt down before her.

“Hail to the Sect Master!”

“Hail to the Sect Master!”

…

The sounds of reverence echoed continuously.

It seemed that all the disciples of the Evil Moon Sect were sincerely devoted to her.

As for the first matter she announced, no one was surprised.

It was only natural.

Then Luo Yuebai continued, “The second matter.”

“Starting today, Linjiang City and its surroundings within a radius of five hundred miles will be under the influence of our Linjiang branch.”

“All the cultivation sects and families within this area must become vassals of our Linjiang branch!”

“If there are any unwilling parties, I, Luo Yuebai, will not force them, but they must move out of the area within five hundred miles of Linjiang City within three days.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted into an uproar.

This… without anyone’s consent, the Evil Moon Sect directly claimed territory for themselves.

Many leaders of small families and sects had changed expressions.

This area was originally under the influence of the Huayang Sect, but even the Huayang Sect did not forcefully demand that the sects within its territory become its vassals.

“Is the Evil Moon Sect’s decision too domineering?”

“Isn’t she afraid of provoking public anger? Although the Evil Moon Sect is strong, it may not be able to withstand our numbers…”

“She wants us to move out? Where can we go within three days?”

“Moving to someone else’s territory, isn’t that asking for trouble too?”

…

At this moment, many people were murmuring discontentedly, but they were also somewhat timid, lacking confidence.

Seeing this, Luo Yuebai still smiled faintly.

She said, “I know many of you are dissatisfied, but our Evil Moon Sect disciples will personally come to you later to discuss.”

“If you are dissatisfied, you can negotiate with them.”

“However, perhaps you should also be prepared for the possibility that if negotiations fail, your sect may be wiped out…”

Threats!

Blatant threats!

But the effect was excellent; the crowd that had just been murmuring was instantly silenced.

Luo Yuebai smiled and seemed unconcerned about it.

Then her gaze fell on Su Jingzhen.

“Now, our sect announces the third matter.”

Seeing Luo Yuebai staring directly at him, Su Jingzhen became nervous again.
