My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 173 - 0124 The center of the storm is not Miss Liu
Chapter 173: 0124 The center of the storm is not Miss Liu
In a humble little house, a group of women from Muyu Peak gathered once more, but this time their focus was no longer Xu Chang’an.
At the moment, Liu Qingluo stood quietly in front of a cluster of flowers, her gaze occasionally and deliberately resting on the beautiful blossoms, as if something about them constantly drew her attention.
Gu Qiancheng, on the other hand, was being held by a mature woman, who was gently pinching her cheek.
This young princess from the Hehuan Sect appeared to be the Young Peak Master of Tripod Heart Peak, but in reality... her heart was constantly tethered to Muyu Peak, making her an unambiguous little spy.
Her second mistress was the Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect.
Her aunt was a prominent figure in Muyu Peak.
Then, she decisively stood by her aunt’s side and, following Zhu Pingniang’s instructions, brought Liu Qingluo to Muyu Peak so that the people here could witness Liu Qingluo’s talents.
"...Ahem." The leading woman said, "Miss Liu."
Following Gu Qiancheng’s instructions, Liu Qingluo addressed Zhu Pingniang as her elder sister, so she could only address the elders of the Immortal Sect in the same way.
She shifted her gaze from the flowers, bowed elegantly, and then directed her attention to the highly esteemed women in the room, standing with her back straight.
"Elder sister."
"Come over here."
Liu Qingluo obediently walked over, and the leading woman gently grabbed her hand. Suddenly, clouds and mist arose in the room, transforming into several yellow birds that fluttered around like strands of colorful ribbons. Their clear and piercing chirps formed sound waves that ebbed and flowed, accompanied by an indescribable fragrance.
These yellow birds circled around Liu Qingluo, intertwining with the body-protecting spiritual qi that resembled a fiery phoenix, slowly becoming intricate patterns that encased her entire being.
"..."
Liu Qingluo watched this seemingly magical and mysterious spectacle with unwavering eyes, simply waiting in silence.
Not long after.
"I’ve temporarily concealed the conspicuous body-protecting spiritual qi around the girl. Go ahead and explore the environment of Muyu Peak; I’m sure you’ll like it here." The woman spoke, giving Gu Qiancheng a meaningful glance.
Understanding her intent, Gu Qiancheng jumped off the woman’s lap, grabbed Liu Qingluo’s hand, and led her out of the room.
"..."
"..."
With the central figure of the conversation gone, the room fell into a deathly silence.
The gathered women exchanged looks with one another.
"She absolutely had never cultivated before."
Until one person broke the silence, casting a stone into a deep pond, prompting everyone to express their opinions.
"It’s of Immortal Grade, undoubtedly Immortal Grade! Did you all see the spiritual power wrapping around her body!!!!! I’ve only ever seen something similar on a First-grade Fire Phoenix Grass!"
This was a woman who knew alchemy.
In her eyes, Liu Qingluo was practically a walking Immortal Grade spirit grass.
"I saw it."
"A natural mimicry, and its purity rivals that of the Mingxin Realm."
"She’s only been cultivating for less than half a day, and the Immortal Talent described in the books... doesn’t even come close to her."
After much discussion, they unanimously concluded that Liu Qingluo was indeed the Heavenly Dao’s favored child as documented in ancient texts, possessing an Immortal Grade talent.
Such people, as recorded in any ancient scripture, once they mature, are never mediocre but always become the most dazzling beings in an era of great contention, the protagonists of the world, and the center of the universe.
The reason they’re called Immortal Grade talents is that a few of these individuals truly reached ascension.
"She’s under Zhu Tongjun’s care."
"From the brothel."
"By her demeanor, I could tell."
"...Her posture suggests she’s neither humble nor arrogant, her state of mind is commendable."
"Zhu Tongjun mentioned in a letter that she treats this girl as her own daughter."
"Who keeps their daughter in a brothel?"
"What are you saying, wasn’t Tongjun living in a brothel too? I’ve heard she sometimes goes on stage to perform."
In fact, the cool-headed Fairy Zhu from the sect was essentially an artiste-courtesan as well.
"..."
Another round of silence ensued, and after everyone calmed down a bit, one person finally got to the heart of the matter: "Should we keep her at Muyu Peak?"
"I don’t really mind, as long as she stays in Chaoyun Sect," said Ah Fu, the female cultivator with a Water Attribute, who had gifted Xu Chang’an a Glazed Jade on behalf of Shi Qingjun.
"Perspective."
"Not surprised it’s Ah Fu, perspective."
Several women cupped their hands towards her.
"Ah Fu is right."
"Indeed, it makes sense."
Every other peak stood behind various sects, fighting over disciples for the sake of their respective sects’ interests, but Muyu Peak had already parted ways with the Hehuan Sect and became independent, hence there wasn’t as much scheming and manipulation.
"Also, even though an Immortal Grade talent seems intimidating, it didn’t even ruffle the Sect Leader."
Xu Chang’an cultivates with a Spiritual Sea Vortex, while Liu Qingluo has High-Grade Body-Protecting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, both of which, if discovered by interested parties, would cause a stir...
In the same way that Xu Chang’an was causing a commotion, the Sect Leader had bestowed a Jade Pendant upon him.
Liu Qingluo, however, only had a simple barrier they had set up last night for concealment.
Clearly, from the Sect Leader’s perspective, the reincarnation of an Immortal was far more significant than an undeveloped Immortal Grade talent.
"Let things unfold naturally; if the Hehuan Sect insists, there’s no need to compete over her."
With Xu Chang’an being verified by the Sect Leader as an Immortal Reincarnation, the women’s perspectives suddenly broadened.
All they wanted was Xu Chang’an.
"Besides, having Tongjun’s girl here makes her our junior, and there’s no harm in her residing here either."
They claimed it wasn’t a big deal... but who would complain about having more outstanding disciples at Muyu Peak?
No one among these women was afraid of causing trouble.
"...It’s not yet time for her identity to be revealed; let Wen Li teach her cultivation first. Just opening her source is not enough, when she truly adapts to cultivation, only then does everything begin."
Although Liu Qingluo was now endowed with cultivation, she wasn’t suited to be entangled in these complicated matters.
Zhu Pingniang’s intention of having her stay at Muyu Peak for a while was most likely the same.
In Zhu Pingniang’s eyes, Liu Qingluo wasn’t merely a talented disciple but rather part of the family.
"Mm."
Regarding Liu Qingluo’s matters, everyone held different views but there was surprising unanimity on letting Wen Li be Liu Qingluo’s guide.
Wen Li was the senior at Muyu Peak, and as per the rules, there was no one more suitable than her.
"..."
The atmosphere gradually calmed down.
There was no denying it, while an Immortal Grade talent was indeed awe-inspiring, Muyu Peak had an even greater anomaly; Xu Chang’an before his ’Open Source’ was just an extraordinarily gifted, promising disciple.
After opening his source, he soared skyward in one bound.
While both were recorded in ancient texts, when comparing the reincarnation of an Immortal with an Immortal Grade talent, without a doubt... the former overwhelmed in a dominating manner.
Indeed.
This was what Miss Yun wanted, not having anyone overshadow her partner.
——
The serious discussion concluded, leading naturally into gossip time.
"Tongjun mentioned that Liu the girl’s sweetheart is Xu Chang’an, what do you all think?"
"?"
"?"
"Wait a minute, isn’t Xu Chang’an’s wife also having Wen Li as her guide? If they come together, which girl wouldn’t get jealous?"
The crowd was still in a daze when the Jade Talisman on the table suddenly lit up. The leading woman was taken aback, then displayed a peculiar expression and said, "...Xu the kid is here, who called him?"
"I did."
A woman raised her hand, pointing to the flowers where Liu Qingluo had been standing, and said, "This is my place; I asked him to come to change the flowers for me."
