Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 140 Ridicule
The Heavenly Pool Palace, a corner of the back mountain.

Several disciples dressed in bamboo-green gauze robes surrounded a young man, scrutinizing him with their eyes.

"You are Li Jinzhen's mortal fiancé?"

"There really isn't even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation. How could Li Jinzhen have such a useless fiancé?"

The female cultivator's words weren't the most direct. A well-dressed man, holding a folding fan, spoke in a sinister tone: "Wei Shaoqing, is it?"

He looked the young man up and down: "He does look like a pretty boy, but who is Fairy Yu Rong? How could you possibly dare to dream of her? You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat. You should look in the mirror and see if you're even worthy."

Countless heroes in Lingzhou admired the Jade-Faced Fairy, yet none of them received even a glance of her favor. What kind of incredible luck did this mortal, Wei Shaoqing, have?

The Autumn Frost Sword Sect is a bunch of treacherous villains! They're just bored and helping someone find a fiancé! If they had discovered this mortal boy first, they would have handled it properly and would never have made things difficult for the Immortal Fairy.

A shadow of gloom flashed in the man's eyes, which he did not try to hide: "Jinzhen Fairy is virtuous, intelligent, gentle, kind, and pure-hearted. She values ​​promises and affection, which is why she agreed to the marriage. But Wei Shaoqing, one should always have some self-awareness. You'd better take the initiative to tell Jinzhen Fairy your true feelings. You do not want to stay in the Southern Star Sword Sect, but want to return to the mortal world, get married, and have children."

"If you know what's good for you, this young master will also bestow upon you a thousand taels of gold, wishing you marital harmony and ensuring your lifelong peace. If you don't know what's good for you—"

The man snorted, his tone turning cold: "Even if you cower in the Southern Star Sword Sect, this young master has plenty of ways to send you to your utmost bliss as soon as possible!"

Between sects, there are always hidden agents; at worst, a few can be crippled! Whether Wei Shaoqing can live to become Jade Face Fairy's husband depends on whether he has the fate to do so!
After uttering those harsh words, the man turned and left.

The female disciples breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had come to ridicule Wei Shaoqing, they were also afraid that their young master might lose his mind and start a fight.

The nature of speaking and doing can be completely different.

A woman with delicate features and long, narrow eyes stared intently at the young man: "Are you really... the fiancé of a near-fairy?"

Wei Shaoqing pursed his lips into a thin line and remained silent.

The crowd found it boring and chattered amongst themselves, each offering their own opinion while simultaneously criticizing the other.

"Is he mute? Why hasn't he said a word?"

"He's just a mortal after all. He only got to come to Tianchi because of Li Jinzhen."

"I don't know what Sect Leader Shen was thinking, that he actually agreed to bring a mortal here."

As they were talking, a figure in a light blue dress, interspersed with a white veil, appeared around the corner.

"They are from the Southern Star Sword Sect."

Upon seeing the flying sword symbol on the girl's clothes, the group immediately shut their mouths and tried to leave, but instead bumped into a transparent wall of air.

The girl's voice was cold and harsh: "Keep talking, why did you stop?"

"Suddenly he became mute?"

The woman with narrow eyes and eyebrows turned around, took two deep breaths, and said, "He Jiaxiu, what business is it of yours how we ridicule Wei Shaoqing? Stop meddling in other people's affairs!"

Snapped!
A crisp slap echoed through the snow-covered landscape. Wei Shaoqing's eyes widened slightly as he watched this scene, swallowing hard.

The woman covered her bright red cheek, her expression contorted with rage: "He Jiaxiu! How dare you hit me?"

"So what if I fought?" the girl said calmly. "What can you do about it? Or are you going to draw your sword?"

"Oh, I almost forgot," He Jiaxiu said leisurely, "You are now a disciple of the Wanyi Sect and have become a magic cultivator, so you no longer have a sword."

She found that occasionally learning from Ning Fusang and directly taking action against verbally abusive people was indeed much more satisfying.

He Jiaxiu looked at the woman with cold eyes: "Zheng Qingqing, even if Wei Shaoqing is no good, he's still a member of my Nanxing Sword Sect. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. How dare you, a traitor, speak so disrespectfully?" To slap Wei Shaoqing is to slap Li Jinzhen's face, something He Jiaxiu could not allow. Especially since that person was Zheng Qingqing.

Zheng Qingqing was a disciple who joined the sect along with He Jiaxiu, Ning Fusang, and others. Unable to endure Yu Wanwu's intense training, she chose to leave the mountain and later joined the Wanyi Sect's lineage.

She said in shame and indignation, "He Jiaxiu! Why do you have to speak so harshly? You keep calling me a traitor to the sect. How have I betrayed the sect?"

“When I went down the mountain years ago, Master Yu personally agreed to it. How can that be considered betraying the sect?”

She hasn't even become a formal disciple of the Southern Star Sword Sect yet, so on what grounds does He Jiaxiu call her a traitor?

"Hmph." He Jiaxiu scoffed. "What difference does it make? Do I need a reason to hit you?"

"You!" Zheng Qingqing's chest heaved with anger as she said indignantly, "You're sick!"

Ultimately, out of fear of He Jiaxiu's strength, Zheng Qingqing only muttered a few curses under her breath before bypassing the air barrier and leaving.

Why not break through the air barrier?
Clearly, she couldn't break it. Zheng Qingqing's back teeth were almost crushed from biting so hard.

Among those classmates, Ning Fusang and He Jiaxiu were the most talented. Ning Fusang was also a madman. After killing Chen Ming, he was punished by Master Yu to wash his sword in the Sword Washing Pool. He Jiaxiu was left out, standing out from the crowd.

Zheng Qingqing was also among those who were overshadowed and overshadowed. She knew she couldn't compare to He Jiaxiu, so she didn't intend to try anything.

She could only swallow this humiliation.

He Jiaxiu withdrew her gaze and turned to Wei Shaoqing, saying, "Why don't you stay in your room if you have nothing to do? What are you doing wandering around outside? Are you tired of embarrassing Senior Sister Jinzhen enough, or do you think you've lived too long?"

Wei Shaoqing lowered his head and said meekly, "Miss He is right to teach me a lesson."

He Jiaxiu: "..." She was furious!
She has no integrity whatsoever; how could she possibly be worthy of the radiant and beautiful Senior Sister Jinzhen?
He Jiaxiu left with a cold look.

Pure snowflakes fluttered down and landed in the young man's palm, instantly turning into nothingness. Wei Shaoqing said softly, "Come out."

A tall figure emerged from behind the snow-capped mountain.

"How could a mere mortal sense the aura of a cultivator?"

The man was middle-aged, not particularly handsome, but with regular features. His willow-leaf eyes held a hint of calculation and shrewdness.

Wei Shaoqing said, "I was unaware of your existence; I merely assumed you were here."

The middle-aged man clapped his hands and smiled meaningfully, saying, "They have all misjudged you, Young Master Wei. Young Master Wei is thoughtful, intelligent and quick-witted. It's just a pity that you don't have the aptitude for cultivation. Otherwise, you and the near-true fairy would be a match made in heaven."

Wei Shaoqing lowered his eyes and asked calmly, "Elder Lu, what brings you here?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Young Master Wei is overthinking it. I called you out because there's nothing I need to tell you."

After a moment of silence, Wei Shaoqing said, "I understand."

"Elder Lu just wanted to see Shaoqing embarrassed."

The middle-aged man did not deny it, saying, "Young Master Wei should be used to this."

"The higher Li Jinzhen stands, the greater the humiliation that Young Master Wei will have to endure. It may even involve Young Master Wei's life."

Wei Shaoqing asked him, "In Elder Lu's opinion, what should Shaoqing do?"
