After Becoming the Hero’s Ex-fiancée Chapter 114

Non-Emptiness Sutra (1)

Yuqing Sect was not quite the same as the immortal sects in Zheng Wan’s imagination.

Along the way, there were no auspicious clouds or dense immortal aura. On the contrary, it was more like a market town in the mortal world, ablaze with brilliant colour, blooming peach trees, and fresh green willows. The only difference was that not a single one of the men and women she encountered was ugly.

Even for those whose features were not outstanding, because of the alluring charm nestled between their brows, they appeared extraordinary.

“Don’t look too much, be careful not to get your will shaken!”

With a clear whistle, Qing Shuang brought many of the weak-willed young cultivators back to themselves. “Our Yuqing Sect is different from others. Regardless of gender or age, coupled cultivation is possible. Although we are particular about discipline and restraint, your cultivation base is still low, if you practice coupled cultivation now, it will definitely result in the lower-levelled cultivator becoming nourishment for the higher-levelled one.

“Especially you——”

He turned to Zheng Wan. “Little Junior Sister, you possess heavenly-grade ice vital roots. Ice is of water, and the coldest of water becomes ice—heavenly-grade water vital roots are the ultimate vessel for cultivation. Though your ice vital roots are different, you will also be many cultivators’ top choice to partake in coupled cultivation with.”

“Senior Brother, do you mean that these senior brothers and senior sisters——” When Zheng Wan came to ‘senior sisters’, she even paused, then continued with difficulty, “Want to take advantage of me?”

Qingfeng nodded gravely. A moment later, his brows relaxed and he said thankfully, “Fortunately, Little Junior Sister is not of pure Yin constitution, otherwise, you will really become premium fresh dragon meat— everyone would want to come and have a bite.”

“......”

But, she was.

Zheng Wan, “Granny Jin, they don’t know that I have a pure Yin body?”

“That ex-lover of yours knows.”

Granny Jin said resentfully, “On your birthday, didn’t that ex-lover of yours awaken that Phoenix Jade for you? The phoenix belongs to the skies, while the dragon, the wilderness. He drew a formation on your Phoenix Jade with his sword Qi and Lanling Grass. Unless your sect’s ancient fogeys come out of the mountain, no one else will be able to tell.

“Speaking of which... your ex-lover is really like a treasure sack, he has all sorts of rare things…”

Zheng Wan bit her lip, feeling complicated; if she said she didn’t feel anything at all for Cui Wang, it would be false.

How could you not be moved when such a beautiful gentleman kept saving you repeatedly?

When he’s good to you, he was truly good; but when he’s bad to you, he was truly bad as well.

He looks at you condescendingly, only treating you as a plaything to relieve boredom, likes a beautiful façade, yet detests the thoughts under that façade. He’s such a capricious person, who left when he wanted to, and abandoned you when it suited him. When you think his heart has been moved, it was in fact just ripples brought about by the wind. If you were really taken in by him, you would be a true fool.

Fortunately, she could now practice cultivation.

As Zheng Wan thought through things slowly, she walked around the Yuqing Sect with Qing Shuang.

Outside the sect stretched thousands of acres of fertile fields, which were being cared for by the sect’s disciples, and used to grow spiritual plants to earn tribute points. Inside the sect, where the inner sect and outer sect met, was a row of buildings: the ‘Illumination Hall’, ‘Internal Affairs Hall’, ‘Sect Services Hall’, and the ‘Combat Terrace’.

“Generally speaking, if there are affairs about the sect you don’t understand, you may ask the Internal Affairs Hall, they will help to make arrangements. As for the rest, you will all naturally come to understand in time.”

Sure enough, Qing Shuang led the young disciples into the Internal Affairs Hall.

As soon as they entered the building, which did not look very big from the outside, a roar of voices rushed at them. Zheng Wan looked up, only to see it was jam-packed with people, with barely any room for one to set one’s foot down——

And, most of them were shorties who only came up to her waist.

“Qing Shuang, I heard that the Chiyou City you went to produced someone with an innate Dao core that invoked twelve long chimes, who even came to our Yuqing Sect?”

Qing Shuang greeted the other leaders in a practiced manner, picked a random line to queue up, and introduced the place, “This place has been cast with spatial arts. It is usually not this crowded, this sort of grand spectacle only happens when we’re recruiting new disciples. Things will calm down in a few days.”
