Chapter 23 — Qing’er, the Pure Spirit Holy Physique, Call Me Brother!
The Red Cloud City Lord’s mansion was extremely large, resembling a secular palace. There were countless buildings, pavilions, and towers. This was not surprising.
Although the Red Cloud City’s lord was called the city lord, his strength at the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm was stronger than many town-level cultivators in secular countries.
Red Cloud City was backed by the Red Cloud Mountains. He was even wealthier.
The lord of Red Cloud City arranged a very luxurious palace for Yang Chen, which was nine stories high and offered a panoramic view of the city lord’s mansion.
In addition, there were dozens of slender and beautiful women.
“Your Highness, these women are all virgins, all chaste and untouched! They have long admired Your Highness and all want to catch a glimpse of your noble appearance!”
The lord of Red Cloud City’s was full of flattery. For him, the Young Master of the Xuantian Sect was an important figure he dared not look directly at. If he could please this Young Master, he wouldn’t mind offering him even his wife.
As long as the Young Master didn’t mind her age.
Yang Chen scanned the women.
Although they were all very beautiful and slim, but they were a far cry from Lin Xilan.
Moreover, in the three days before he arrived, Lin Xilan would put the child to sleep every night and then come to him. He was not very interested in this aspect now.
“City Lord, what forces have arrived?” Yang Chen asked in a deep voice.
The lord of Red Cloud City immediately replied, “Reporting to Your Highness, they are the Wind Thunder Sect, Rain Flower Valley, Blood Blade Sect, and other top powers! The rest are some weaker sects!”
Listening to the report, Yang Chen frowned slightly. In the original work, because the entire story revolved around Lin Yan, the male protagonist, other forces weren’t so detailed. But now, as the Young Master of the Xuantian Sect, he still needed to know about them.
The Northern Spiritual Realm was vast, with countless sects and countries.
But among them, only those with multiple Soul Transformation realm cultivators could be called top forces.
The Xuantian Sect had seven elders and the sect master as its Soul Transformation realm cultivators, totaling eight.
But the entire Northern Spiritual Realm knew that as an ancient sect that had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, the Xuantian Sect definitely had more than these eight Soul Transformation level cultivators.
The Wind Thunder Sect, Rain Flower Valley, and Blood Blade Sect were also top sects in the nearby area.
However, they were newcomers compared to the Xuantian Sect and could not compare in fame to such an ancient force that had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years.
So, for thousands of years, these top forces often clashed with the Xuantian Sect, wanting to use the Xuantian Sect to show off their strength.
As the Young Master of the Xuantian Sect, this time, he not only needed to seize the Primordial Fire, but also to take the opportunity to suppress these top sects.
The Primordial Fire had not yet appeared.
All of a sudden, more than a dozen volcanoes were erupting one after another in the Red Cloud Mountains. Streams of colourful light surged out.
These were all signs before the appearance of treasures.
But only after more than a dozen volcanoes stopped erupting could they enter and explore them.
Yang Chen stood on the viewing platform of the palace, overlooking the surrounding scenery.
At this moment, a slender figure appeared in Yang Chen’s line of sight.
Wearing a somewhat ill-fitting plain linen clothes, with a dirty face, a small body, but carrying a large bucket of water.
Yang Chen saw her and his eyes lit up.
Because this little girl matched the description of the little female slave in the lord’s mansion in the original work.
“City Lord, go and call this little girl!”
“What, what?”
The city lord was stunned.
And also a little confused.
He didn’t understand why the dignified Young Master of the Xuantian Sect was interested in such a dirty little girl.
“Your Highness, this little girl is just a maid, do you want her?”
Before he could finish, Yang Chen said coldly,
“You have too many questions! I told you to do something, so just do it!”
“Yes, yes!”
“Your Highness, I’ll go now!”
Being scolded by Yang Chen, the city lord felt cold sweat breakout on his forehead.
The pleasant conversation just now made him overlook the gap in status between them.
This Young Master was someone he absolutely couldn’t offend. Moreover, the aura emitted by this Young Master just now was even stronger than his!
This Young Master seemed to be only forty years old!
He actually had the strength of the late Golden Core stage!
The Xuantian Sect was too terrifying. They could actually cultivate such a monster!
The lord of Red Cloud City hurriedly went downstairs and brought the little girl up.
“Your Highness, I have brought the person!” The lord of Red Cloud City bowed.
Yang Chen looked at the little girl standing in front of him, with a timid expression, and smiled warmly:
“Little girl, what is your name?”
The little girl was startled when she heard Yang Chen’s words, then whispered, “This servant, this servant is Qing’er!”
“Qing’er, very good, very good!”
Yang Chen looked somewhat excited.
It was her.
Qing’er, the Pure Spirit Holy Physique that Lin Yan had found in the lord’s mansion!
The Pure Spirit Holy Physique was a physique without any impurities, and was close to the Heavenly Dao.
Once she started cultivating, she would be like a favored child of heaven and earth, advancing rapidly in cultivation, without any barriers. As long as there was enough spiritual energy, she could directly break through realms.
“City lord, you can go down first, I have something to say to her alone!”
“Yes, I’ll take my leave!” The lord of Red Cloud City didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly responded. However, after leaving the palace, he couldn’t help but look back. His eyes betraying his incomprehension.
This Young Master of the Xuantian Sect had a very special taste. He didn’t like so many tall and beautiful women, but was interested in such a dirty little girl. He couldn’t understand it at all.
“My lord, why did you call me here, what do you want me to do?” Qing’er asked weakly, a little afraid of Yang Chen. Because, she saw how afraid the city lord was in front of him.
“Qing’er, you don’t have to call me a lord! In the future, how about calling me brother?” Yang Chen said with a smile.
“Ah!” Qing’er was shocked.
Her small face looked up; her big eyes full of surprise.
She didn’t understand why such an important figure that even the lord feared wanted her to call him brother.
“I dare not!”
She was only surprised for a moment, then immediately knelt down on the ground.
Yang Chen helped her up.
“Qing’er, don’t be afraid! You look a lot like a little sister of mine when I was young! So, I want to recognize you as my adopted younger sister. Is that okay? In the future, brother will take you to cultivate in the Xuantian Sect, and you won’t have to do these hard chores anymore!”
“Really, really?”
Qing’er’s big eyes flickered, somewhat in disbelief.
“Of course it’s true! Call me “Brother” quickly!”
The little girl’s small hands were entwined, and she said softly, “Brother!”
“Well done!”
Yang Chen patted her dirty little head and then ordered the maid beside him, “Take my sister to take a bath and change her into clean clothes!”
“Yes, my lord!”
The maid took the little girl and left the palace.
[Ding, the host has taken the lead in finding the supporting female character Qing’er, recognizing her as his younger sister, plundering the Providence Luck of Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny, by 3000 points. Gaining the host 3000 points of Villainous Points!]
Yang Chen’s face lit up.
Three thousand points of Providence Luck!
She truly deserved to be a supporting female character in the book!
I didn’t expect to gain it so easily.
At this time, two familiar figures caught Yang Chen’s eye.
It was Lin Yan and Shen Xueyan.
“Senior Sister Xueyan, do you want to find the Red Cloud Grass in Red Cloud City, or should I go with you? Have you forgotten that I always seem have good luck in finding things!”
Lin Yan licked his face and followed Shen Xueyan.
But Shen Xueyan’s face was a bit cold.
“Junior Brother Lin Yan, don’t follow me, I said I want to be alone!”
“Alone? Who is Alone, Senior Sister Xueyan?”
Lin Yan pretended to be stupid and continued to follow Shen Xueyan.
But he was full of doubts.
Shen Xueyan had been acting strange recently, always wanting to keep her distance from him. She wasn’t like this before.
Yang Chen looked at this scene, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Junior Brother Lin Yan, you really look like a lapdog now. While your father took an opportunity to find you an aunt, I wonder if you’ll be happy?
