Nangong Rou’s expression turned cold. The beautiful memories she had at Tianyun Sect were now the last thing she wanted to see.

Especially when she thought of the words similar to a confession that she had said to Jiang Zhige. She felt suffocated and had an impulse to ask the Empress Frostsong for help to shut down the memory scene.

If the person was someone she liked, it would be fine, but he was the Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige, the person she hated deeply.

Confessing to someone like him was simply an indelible shame for Nangong Rou.

Nangong Rou was angry for a long time, but eventually calmed down.

If she shut down the memory scene, how could she confirm the truth of what happened back then?

“Jiang Zhige, you better not disappoint me!”

……

Jiang Zhige followed Nangong Rou to the sect’s martial arts arena and casually found a seat in the spectator’s area.

As soon as they appeared, they attracted many gazes, including those of the core disciples who were about to compete for their rankings.

But they were not looking at Jiang Zhige, they were looking at Nangong Rou.

There was no way around it, Nangong Rou not only had exceptional talent, but her appearance was also beautiful beyond compare. At only fourteen years old, she already had the title of the future number one beauty of the Tianyun Sect.

“Look, Nangong Rou is here. Is she also here to watch the core disciples’ competition?”

“I think so. She will become a core disciple in less than three years. Watching the core disciples’ battles will be a great help to her cultivation.”

“Oh come on, can’t you guys stop pretending to be serious? Is this really the focus?”

“Yeah, Nangong Rou is simply a fairy. If I could just hold her hand, I wouldn’t mind dying ten years earlier.”

“You want to hold Nangong Rou’s hand? Who do you think you are? If anyone is going to touch her, it should be me!”

Nangong Rou’s aura was too dazzling, so much so that they didn’t even mention Jiang Zhige, her older brother.

Nangong Rou pretended not to hear the gossip behind her and said lightly, “Brother, did you hear that? I came to watch the competition and improve my practical combat experience.”

Jiang Zhige couldn’t help but laugh. If Nangong Rou had come just to watch the core disciples’ competition, she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to call him over.

On the high platform, the elder in the gray robe frowned slightly and scolded, “Quiet, quiet!”

Although he also found Nangong Rou cute, it was the time of the sect’s Junior Competition and he had to maintain order.

As soon as the elder spoke, the discussion in the spectator area quickly died down.

“Now we will draw lots. The disciples who draw adjacent numbers will compete against each other, and so on until the top three are determined.”

There were only fourteen core disciples in total, so the competition rules were simple. After winning the first round of drawing lots, the winners would then compete against each other. One person would be exempted from competing, but they had to defeat a defeated disciple to advance to the finals and compete for the top three spots.

After drawing lots, the fourteen core disciples took turns to compete according to the numbers they had drawn.

The sect’s Junior Competition not only determined the ranking of the core disciples, but also decided the spots for the upcoming three-sect Grand Competition. Therefore, they all fought relatively seriously.

For a while, the martial arts arena was full of flashing lights and shadows, with sword and blade movements that attracted the attention of the spectating disciples.

Jiang Zhige observed every battle, and his heart was filled with admiration for the powerful spiritual energy displayed. To be able to absorb spiritual energy and use it to fight enemies from a distance, being in the Martial Spirit Realm was required.

To enter this realm was to truly step into the world of immortals. However, Jiang Zhige’s talent was too mediocre, and he would need to be at least in his twenties before he could enter the Martial Spirit Realm.

After a while, the sect’s Junior Competition finally reached its climax.

The remaining four disciples competed against each other, and the top three core disciples were determined. Jiang Zhige’s expression became even more serious as the remaining four were the strongest in terms of strength, making their battles even more exciting.

If he could absorb even a small amount of their skills during the battles, it would be of great benefit to him.

“It’s definitely of great benefit to him to be able to absorb a bit during battles.”

Seeing Jiang Zhige’s serious expression, Nangong Rou sighed and looked frustrated.

She had specifically called Jiang Zhige over, but not to really watch the competition.

After a moment of thought, Nangong Rou suddenly pointed to a core disciple in the middle of the arena and said excitedly, “Brother, look at him, he’s so handsome!”

Jiang Zhige was taken aback and carefully observed the young man Nangong Rou was referring to.

This person’s name was Lu Tianjiao, he was seventeen years old, and was in the mid-stage of Martial Spirit Realm. Based on his performance, he should be able to rank third among the core disciples.

Although he wasn’t the strongest among the core disciples, he was definitely the most handsome, with a handsome appearance and a white robe that made him look very cool.

“Well, he’s not bad,” Jiang Zhige agreed, nodding his head in approval without much thought.

“He’s so handsome and powerful, he’s really perfect!” Nangong Rou held her small hand and stared at Lu Tianjiao with infatuation.

Jiang Zhige rubbed his chin and pondered, “Not necessarily perfect, Rou’er, people shouldn’t just judge by appearances.”

In his heart, he lamented that Nangong Rou was still a young girl with a crush, preferring handsome young men over experts with deep cultivation.

………..

“What? Fairy Nangong likes someone else now, and Demon Emperor isn’t angry? Why is he still analyzing it rationally for Fairy Nangong?”

“That’s right, although the current Demon Emperor’s cultivation level is slightly lower, his appearance is definitely not worse than this Lu Tianjiao.”

Due to having seen Jiang Zhige’s memories of Yu City, everyone in the hall empathized deeply with Jiang Zhige’s situation. When they saw Nangong Rou complimenting someone else, they immediately felt sorry for Jiang Zhige.

Most people subconsciously believed that Jiang Zhige and Nangong Rou shouldn’t just have a sibling relationship.

However, Qu Yun was secretly puzzled and glanced at Nangong Rou beside him.

Given Nangong Rou’s character, even if she was young and ignorant, she shouldn’t just casually fall in love with someone like Lu Tianjiao whom she had barely met.

He wanted to ask, but as soon as Qu Yun turned his head, he noticed that Nangong Rou’s expression was as cold as ice, looking like a volcano about to erupt.

Qu Yun quickly shut his mouth and reluctantly turned back to watch the screen.

He didn’t understand why Nangong Rou was angry.

………..

On the martial arts stage, the battle had ended with a winner and a loser.

Lu Tianjiao defeated his opponent and successfully obtained the third position in the core disciple ranking.

He didn’t continue to challenge because the first two were both old core disciples in their twenties who had already reached the Dao Seed Realm.

Just as Lu Tianjiao was about to turn and leave, he suddenly noticed the gaze of Nangong Rou in the spectator stand.

Lu Tianjiao was immediately thrilled and waved to greet Nangong Rou.

Although he couldn’t hear the conversation between the two siblings, he could tell from her gaze that Nangong Rou was praising him.

Initially looking infatuated, Nangong Rou’s expression turned cold when she saw Lu Tianjiao wave back.

Jiang Zhige couldn’t help but wonder and asked, “What’s wrong, Rou’er?”

Nangong Rou ignored him and suddenly stood up and left the spectator stand.

Jiang Zhige was even more confused. He stood up and followed Nangong Rou, unable to resist saying, “Rou’er, if you like someone, it’s impolite to ignore them.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Rou was furious and kicked Jiang Zhige, saying angrily, “If your little sister likes someone, how can you have no sense of crisis? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be taken away?”

 

Hey everyone
I’m honestly feeling a bit burned out with this series. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to continue translating this going forward.

For now though, I’ll continue to do my best and share this great novel with you all.

With that said, I’d very much like some help with the novel (which would help my motivation a lot)
If you are interested in helping out with some editing (and thereby gaining the wonderful opportunity to read ahead of everyone else) please send me a message @glariosa on Discord.

Hope you’re all having a wonderful day
