Chapter 093: Involving the Innocent

     Xi Guang is someone from three thousand years ago, and the cultivation level of the people at that time, who are still alive now, is in the late Nascent Soul period at least. Moreover, those who can clearly remember the appearance and all the details of someone in the Tribulation Transcendent period must also have the cultivation base of the same. That’s because if one’s strength is low, under their soul’s coercion, it is simply impossible to properly examine the other party. It is even more impossible to remember it under that pressure. It is already impressive to be able to recall a vague silhouette.

     Who drew this picture?

     The preceding six women are all stunning, their looks are not inferior to the woman known in the past to be the most beautiful in the world. Who are they, and why are they painted in the same scroll?

     Several men, including Xiao Budian who is still so young, look on dazedly at the picture. Su Tingyun curls her lips silently. Inwardly, she thinks these women aren’t as beautiful as Senior E.

     She snorts softly, and all three of them look back at her. Bai Chengyu comes back to his senses, "I think the woman in red, the one holding the spear, is so beautiful. I wonder if someone like her really exists."

     Xiao Budian also nods, looking like he’s very serious, "I like the sister who’s playing the zither."

     The attendant standing at the side is staring intently, muttering, "I like them all."

     His words make Wang Ningxi chuckle, and her pretty eyes turn to Liu Feizhou, "This painting has a spiritual treasure light, but there is no response to any input of spiritual consciousness. Our treasure appraiser can't assess whether it could be classified as a spiritual treasure or an ordinary painting. Master Liu, please show me the palm of your hand."

     After that, with a light flick of her hand, the opened scroll is sent towards Liu Feizhou. With the blowing of the breeze, the beauties on the scroll seem to come alive, jolting people's minds.

     Liu Feizhou carefully holds one end of the scroll. Because he recognizes Xi Guang here, he’s guessing that the painting must be a bit strange. He might as well buy it and take it back, then show it to his master. Maybe his Master would know who made the painting.

     With this idea in his mind, he opens his mouth to say that he wants it, only to hear someone else say, "Hey, they actually have such a painting of beautiful women."

     The new arrival is wearing the Luminous Moon Sect’s disciple uniform. His cultivation is in the middle of Foundation Establishment— it’s lower than Su Tingyun, so she could still see the bone age of the other party. He’s actually a sixteen-year-old boy.

     Sixteen years old and in the middle of Foundation Establishment, it means that he has excellent aptitude, and his status in the Luminous Moon Sect is probably not low. Behind the boy is a middle-aged man in black. She feels her heart tremble just by looking at him, so his cultivation is probably in the Nascent Soul stage.

     Following behind them are six or seven Luminous Moon Sect members. Su Tingyun discovers to her surprise that she knows the one at the rear end of the group. It’s Zhang Zhizi, the youngest of the three children from way back then, and also the most disappointing one.

     Back then, he drugged the meat she ate, took all the spirit stones, and signed up for the Wuliang Sect all by himself.  Su Tingyun is not that broad-minded of a person, at least not in these aspects. She always remembers enmity and blame.  She never expected that Zhang Zhizi had actually joined the Luminous Moon Sect, but his clothes seem to be a little different in color and material from the others, so he should be an outer disciple of the Sect.

     He is about twenty years old now, and his cultivation is in the perfect Qi Condensation period, so he’s almost on Foundation Establishment. This kind of strength is not good, but it is not that bad.

     "How many spirit stones for this painting? I’ll buy it." The sixteen-year-old boy looks very handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He is very arrogant when he speaks, such an incredibly rude attitude.

     He is holding a folding fan in his hand, and now it’s already hitting Liu Feizhou's wrist, "I said I want it, but you’re still holding it?"

     Wang Ningxi's complexion changes slightly, she steps forward and says with a smile, "This is the grand nephew of the Luminous Moon Sect’s Ancestor Duan. For this honored guest to arrive, your presence brings light to this humble store." After saying that, she looks back to Liu Feizhou and says: "This is Master Liu, Master Dan’s youngest apprentice, Liu Feizhou. Master Liu himself is also a sixth-rank alchemist."

     Among the younger generation of the Luminous Moon Sect, the most famous one is Ruan Qingshuang, the Head's daughter. But these recent years, the grandnephew of Ancestor Duan, Duan Lingtian, is also infamous for his insolence. But Liu Feizhou's identity is not that much lower than his, so there’s no need to be afraid of him at the moment.

     Duan Lingtian withdraws his folding fan, looks at Liu Feizhou with an insincere smile, and then says: "I like this scroll very much, so if Master Liu would please part with it."

     Liu Feizhou is an alchemist, and alchemists are rich and overbearing. He now frowns and is about to start speaking, when Su Tingyun walks up to him and smilingly says, "Our Master Liu also likes this painting very much. It would be difficult to let it go."

     "Is it your turn to speak?" Duan Lingtian looks at Su Tingyun coldly, then yells: "Drag this ugly woman to the middle of the street and beat her to death!"

     The practitioners behind him immediately rush forward, and Zhang Zhizi is right at the front, his hand reaching towards Su Tingyun. But next, Liu Feizhou snorts coldly, "She is my junior sister. Now do you think she has the right to speak?"
