The Villain Has Something to Say

Chapter 159: Throw the Instrument to Choose a Husband & the Fei Hua Sect (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Receiving Fo Zi’s jade tablet, Mo Qiu immediately thought of Luo Jianqing. Except Luo Jianqing, no one would ask Fo Zi to send the message to him.

After opening the tablet, Mo Qiu listened to Luo Jianqing’s message as his beautiful eyes narrowed.

“Something in the Northern Land of Arctic? Something important in that place and I need to go there now?”

In the tablet, Luo Jianqing asked Mo Qiu to go the Northern Land of Arctic as soon as possible, and that he had something important to give Mo Qiu. He didn’t understand that why Luo Jianqing had to give him that important thing in the Northern Land of Arctic. But in this world, some instruments or pills were indeed very weird, so they could not work or exist once they leave a certain environment.

“Maybe it is some instrument that can only be effective in the Northern Land of Arctic or it cannot leave that place.”

Mo Qiu summoned Qi Luo in a minute and told her to take care of some matters in the Fiend Palace as the Palace Steward.

“It has been half a year since Xuan Lingzi broke up the contract, yet the Demon Realm hasn’t taken any actions, but I’ve heard some news that the Demon Exalt Yin Ji has finished her closed-door cultivation, so you must keep an eye on them.”

Qi Luo nodded, “Consider it done. But since the news was spread in the Demon Realm, I think it’s true.”

Mo Qiu wore a cold, murderous look, totally different from the man Luo Jianqing was familiar with. He curled up his lips and forged an evil smile, “I have been eager to kill her since hundreds of years ago. Now she comes out first, giving me a chance to take her life, I have no reason to refuse it anyway.”

“Of course.”

Even if Mo Qiu was at the late stage of Da Sheng Period and Luo Qi was half way to Body Fusion, he dared not to offend Mo Qiu.

Mo Qiu left the Palace the next day and headed to Northern Land of Arctic. Everything in the Palace had been entrusted to the Grand Steward and Grand Exalt Guards.

Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi didn’t waste much time in ordinary countries after they left the Wu Sha Kingdom.

They ate face-changing pills and disguised as ordinary people, heading to the north. They tasted some delicious food and strolled in the Temple Fair, but they just passed through without a lot interest.

But they did encounter something interesting. When they passed by a cultivator’s town, they saw someone was choosing husband by throwing an instrument.

It actually borrowed the tradition of “Throwing Embroidered Ball” in the mortal world. In cultivator’s world, female cultivators were not ubiquitous yet by no means rare. Each brilliant female cultivator would have a bunch of suitors and admirers. If they were deeply attracted and attached to each other, that would be a happy story. However, if the female cultivator just wanted to find a partner for couple cultivation, and it had nothing to do with love, then they would throw an instrument to choose a husband randomly.

The female cultivators would make an instrument containing the nature of their spiritual power. The instrument could find a male cultivator that matched this nature so that when they conducted couple cultivation, they could obtain better results.

Normally, cultivators didn’t care about love or affection. They just needed a practice partner to improve each other’s spiritual power. Hundreds or even thousands of years ago, the bond between men and women was fragile, so many female cultivators threw an instrument to find the best match.

However, what Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi encountered was different and interesting.

The ball-like instrument was lingering around Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi, sometimes nearer to Luo Jianqing, while the next moment closer to Xuan Lingzi. Seeing that, Luo Jianqing chuckled, but Xuan Lingzi was wearing a cold face. He took Luo Jianqing away from that place, not noticing the disappointed face of that female cultivator.

An instrument, of course, could match the cultivator for its owner autonomously, but the owner could also manipulate it. After all, it was made by the female cultivator. If a cultivator couldn’t control the instrument she made, that would be a humiliation proof that her cultivation was too bad.

After they left the crowded town, Xuan Lingzi and Luo Jianqing wandered in an alley. Luo Jianqing was calm and care-free. He was smiling with his fine eyebrows unbending slightly, as if he was absorbing all luster between the Earth and Heaven, while Xuan Lingzi was wearing a grave, cold face. He was quite unpleasant, but didn’t say anything.

After a long walk, Luo Jianqing decided to stop teasing his master, “Master, which one will she choose, you or me?”

Xuan Lingzi looked down, refusing to reply.

Luo Jianqing continued, “I think she is going to choose you. That instrument stayed longer at your side, so she must have wanted to choose you as her partner.”

Xuan Lingzi still said nothing.

After a thought, Luo Jianqing said, “But she fixed her eyes on me when we left, maybe she was more interested in me. That young lady is beautiful and has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. She is a brilliant cultivator. If I conduct the couple cultivation with her, we can benefit a lot...”

“Do you think that can benefit you?” Xuan Lingzi asked in a cold voice.

Luo Jianqing didn’t think that much, “Yes. Since there is no love or affection, it is fine to find a suitable and good-looking cultivator to conduct the couple cultivation.”

Xuan Lingzi suddenly stopped, and Luo Jianqing looked back with astonishment.

Luo Jianqing saw his master with cold eyes standing under the blue sky, with breeze swaying his long sleeves. Xuan Lingzi pursed his lips and enunciated each word seriously, “She is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator. My... my realm is much higher than hers.

Luo Jianqing was slightly baffled. They continued the journey for a while, and Luo Jianqing looked at Xuan Lingzi with rounded eyes. After a long gaze, Luo Jianqing couldn’t help but beam.

He finally understood what Luo Jianqing meant. That female cultivator was a good partner for couple cultivation, yet she could not parallel Xuan Lingzi even a little bit. If Luo Jianqing could get some benefits with her, then Xuan Lingzi could offer him numberless benefits!

That night, Xuan Lingzi looked at Luo Jianqing with hesitation and silence, which seemed to prove Luo Jianqing’s assumption.

And Luo Jianqing was on pins and needles.

He had been struggling all the way whether to tell Xuan Lingzi that his primordial life had turned into a lotus. But once he confessed, Xuan Lingzi would know that his disciple hadn’t practiced True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record. Xuan Lingzi was the most accomplished cultivator of True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record who had even been praised by his master as the most talented cultivator in Yu Xiao Peak second only to Grand Master Jiu Lian. So Xuan Lingzi would immediately know the truth if he saw the lotus.

For disciples in Yu Xiao Peak, True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record was their essential and compulsory practice. Only True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record could give them the identification of disciples in Yu Xiao Peak.
