Chapter 389: Lu Peng’s Proposal

“Speaking of which, I originally didn’t want to bring Lu Peng to participate in this competition. After all, he’s currently trying to break through to the nascent soul realm, so we can’t afford to be careless.”

At this point, Elder Bai’s face revealed an undisguised pride.

When the others heard this, they were also very shocked…

After all, how old was Lu Peng this year?

He was only 24 years old.

If what Elder Bai said was true, what was the concept of a 24-year-old nascent soul realm cultivator?

In the entire Central Plains, if not the best, he would also be one of the top geniuses!

Even the Central Plains Sect Alliance did not have such a stunning disciple!

“The younger generation is really formidable. He’s only 24 years old, but he walked even higher than us old fellows,” said the great elder with a sigh.

“Sigh, why can’t I meet such a good seedling?”

“Old Huang, if your two treasured disciples heard your words, wouldn’t they pick on you?”

“If they heard it, so be it. I’m their master. What can they do to me?”

Elder Huang chuckled and continued, “However, since he’s at such a critical juncture, why did you bring him to the Fire Sect and not let him cultivate properly?”

“Sigh, I was just about to mention this. For some reason, this brat suddenly became enlightened. No matter what, he wanted to meet Elder Qi’s Nalan disciple again and even asked me to propose a marriage for him. I wonder, what do you think, Elder Qi?”

“A perfect match, a perfect match!”

Upon hearing this, Nalan Lengling’s face instantly turned pale.

Hearing her master’s words, he seemed to be very satisfied with their proposal.

“I think so too, so I brought him here. Since that’s the case, why don’t we take this opportunity to set a date?”

“Set a date? Set what date?”

“Elder Qi, are you old and stupid? Of course, set the date of their marriage!”

“When did I say the word ‘agree’?”

Upon hearing those words, Elder Bai’s face immediately darkened.

“Qi Yuan, what do you mean by that? You were the one who said that they were a perfect match!”

“That’s right, I was the one who said it. However, could it be that Elder Bai is illiterate? What does the word ‘perfect match’ have to do with ‘agree’?”

“Furthermore, even if I agree to it, it’s useless. It still depends on my disciple’s own opinion. If she is unwilling, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

The great elder shook his head helplessly. On the surface, he expressed his helplessness, but in reality, he had already rejected the other party’s proposal.

After all, Nalan Lengling would definitely not agree to it.

“Qi Yuan! Don’t pretend to be ignorant here! A teacher for a day is a father for life. As long as you agree, how can Nalan Lengling dare to refuse?”

“First of all, Elder Bai, a teacher for a day, is a father for life. Although this is true, don’t all families have a few children who refuse to listen to their parents?

“Moreover, the disciples of your sect are too outstanding. My Nalan Lengling is out of their leagues. It’s better to ask Elder Bai’s disciples to reconsider.”

Nalan Lengling was very surprised that the great elder, whose attitude could be considered respectful, was so resolute on this matter that he did not even hesitate to shed all pretense of cordiality and did not agree to the other party’s marriage proposal. This made Nalan Lengling very happy, but she was also a little worried.

The current Fire Sect could not afford any more changes. It was probably not appropriate for the great elder to not give face to the Hualin Sect.

Sure enough, after confirming the great elder’s attitude twice and three times, Elder Bai sneered, and his eyes revealed a fierce light, he threatened, “Qi Yuan, I don’t need to say much about the Fire Sect’s current situation. This is a good opportunity. After the marriage alliance with the Hualin Sect, some petty people will naturally stop staying in the Fire Sect. Don’t you understand the pros and cons of such a simple thing?”

“Hehe, Elder Bai, you must be joking. The Fire Sect is still the Fire Sect. There has never been any change. Any small fries who covet the Fire Sect will be devoured by the flames.”

“Alright! Qi Yuan! Watch out! I hope you won’t regret it!”

“I will never regret it!”

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tenser, Elder Huang, who was standing at the side, quickly opened his mouth to act as a peacemaker.

“The journey has been tiring, and we’re tired as well. Elder Qi, where are the rooms prepared for us? Quickly let us have a good rest. We’ll talk about the practice battles tomorrow.”

“That’s how it should be. Elder Huang, Elder Bai, this way please.”

After receiving the right to speak, the great elder’s expression did not change. It was as if the argument just now had never happened, and there was still a smile on his face.

After a round of struggle, the disciples of the two sects finally settled down. Only then did Nalan Lengling find the great elder and speak out the doubts in her heart.

“Master, you didn’t have to anger the Hualin Sect just now. The current situation of the Fire Sect doesn’t allow us to make any more enemies.”

“Hehe, silly girl, let me ask you, are you willing to marry that Lu Peng?”

“Of course not…”

“That’s why, instead of pretending to be polite, it’s better to clarify our attitude. I didn’t agree because the Fire Sect hasn’t degenerated to the point of using a disciple as an umbrella.

“Furthermore, even if I agree, with your personality, would you be willing?

“Ever since Wang Cheng became my disciple, you’ve become a different person. Normally, you would wish to cultivate all day, but now, you’re willing to waste precious time on Wang Cheng’s matter. I can see all of this.

“As the saying goes, it’s better to destroy a temple than to destroy a marriage. You’re talented, and Wang Cheng is even more so. In my eyes, you two are a perfect match. You’re both my disciples, so how could I be willing to break up the couple?”

With that, the great elder chuckled and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the great elder, Nalan Lengling’s face turned slightly red, and she was secretly delighted.

“So… master knows…”

Nalan Lengling was even happier when she remembered that her master did not object to her being with Wang Cheng. A rare smile appeared on her face.

“Senior sister, where are you now?”

At the right time, Victor sent a voice transmission to Nalan Lengling. The latter immediately responded.

“I’m at the elder’s pavilion. What’s the matter?”

“It’s like this. I want to apologize to senior sister for what happened a few days ago. We’ll talk about the details when we meet.”

“Okay, where can I find you?”

“Let’s go to the back of the mountain. It’ll be quieter there.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Nalan Lengling’s heart thumped wildly when she cut off the connection.

Nalan Lengling had not talked to Victor for a long time since they returned. Other than some necessary contact, the two rarely communicated, which made Nalan Lengling feel a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Victor took the initiative to contact her today, which made Nalan Lengling dispel her doubts.

Not long after, Nalan Lengling came to the back of the mountain. Victor had been waiting there for a long time.

“Wang Cheng, what did you want to talk to me about?”

“Senior sister, I called you here because I thought some of my words and actions had caused you to have a misunderstanding. This has also troubled me, so I wanted to explain it to you clearly.”

“Go ahead, I’m listening.”
