The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The six-person team from the Supreme Sect ultimately stopped at 152 rounds. Lin Du was the last to put down his chopsticks. He glanced at the chef who was rubbing his arm and felt a belated sense of apology.

"Tianwu, how about we get some ointment for our master?"

Summer didn't respond. The chef's hand, gripping the knife, trembled. "No way, we'll have to continue after we finish pasting?"

Lin Du wasn't actually very full, but he felt too embarrassed to continue eating. "No, you can rest. Put it on my tab."

A large group of people went out, just as two loud whooshing sounds came from outside, and fireworks shot into the dark night sky, followed by a dazzling shower of light.

"Wow, this year's fireworks are really big. I didn't know the cultivation world sets off fireworks too." Yuan Ye put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the night sky.

Lin Du narrowed his eyes. "Why do I feel like there was someone in those fireworks?"

Mo Lin was startled, looked at it carefully, and then blurted out, "Holy crap."

"Where are the guards of Junding Prefecture?! Who dares to fight inside Dingjiu City?!"

He said that a black gold sword staff appeared in his hand, and he was about to fly up, but Xia Tianwu stopped him.

"Senior Brother, that person looks like..."

"Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't start a brawl in Dingjiu City!"

"It seems to be our sect leader."

Mo Lin paused, turned around, his already large eyes widening, his double eyelids opening wide, filled with disbelief. "Who did you say?"

The six of them looked up at the sky and saw a red figure suspended in the air. A stream of spiritual energy rushed towards her and then exploded into an exceptionally dazzling wave of spiritual energy. The crimson light was extremely bright and had a huge range, spreading out for dozens of feet, like an extremely beautiful peony in full bloom.

"Oh right, our sect leader seems to be wearing red today." Yuan Ye looked up for a while, then slowly realized what was happening, and suddenly shouted "Damn it!" along with me.

"Our sect leader exploded into fireworks???"

Lin Du's eye twitched, and he said in a serious tone, "Since it's the New Year, the sect leader is going to set off some fireworks for you to celebrate, so we can say thank you, sect leader."

Ni Jinxuan was the first to respond obediently, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

Yuan Ye instinctively spoke up as well, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

Yan Qing sensed something was amiss, but out of politeness, she replied, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

Mo Lin's lips twitched. "No, who would the sect leader have to personally fight? I'll go and see."

He had just scrambled up when he heard a very familiar shout.

"Senior Sister! Senior Sister, you mustn't! You're the sect leader! This is our Dingjiu City!!! You can't break the sect rules with your own hands!!"

"Hey, stop hitting me! Senior Sister, why are you hitting me too!"

His master, who was punished to check accounts in Dingjiu City, was carrying an abacus and, seemingly afraid of being accidentally injured, was shouting at the top of his lungs from a distance.

"Don't let me hear the word 'Sect Leader,' it makes me furious!" Feng Chao sneered, his robes fluttering as he hovered in the air, turning to point at the fluctuations of spiritual energy and shouting angrily, "You still know how to come back?"

"Didn't you say you were going to expel yourself from the sect? What are you doing back here?"

"If you're a real man, never come back!!"

"What kind of skill is it to desert in the face of battle! You just dumped this worthless job of sect leader on me like that, and you still have the nerve to come back and take things from the Supreme Sect? Get out of here! Don't even set foot on the Supreme Sect's territory!"

Seeing Mo Lin go up, Lin Du also summoned his flying artifact and flew into the sky. As soon as he arrived, he heard this sentence and suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen this scene in Lin Tuan's script. He immediately looked at Feng Chao pointing in the direction where he was about to start cursing.

There was a man's figure in the spiritual energy waves there.

The young man looked extremely young, dressed in white robes that fluttered in the snowy night. Unlike the disciples of the Supreme Sect, whose hair was neatly combed and black hair was flowing in the wind, he had a golden divine mark on his forehead that glowed faintly. He was a man of spirit and bone, with autumn water as his essence and jade as his bones.

Across the vast expanse of wind and snow, Lin Du met a pair of extremely dark, indifferent eyes.

Those were eyes devoid of warmth, showing neither sorrow nor joy, remaining completely unmoved even when someone pointed a finger at them and cursed them.

Lin Du could see clearly that the person was not like himself. Even if he suppressed his anger, he would still show some signs of relief in his movements and expressions. But that person was completely unmoved, as if he didn't care about anything.

Even though it is a millennium-old ice, it can still give people a chilling aura. But it is not cold. It is like something without any attributes, looking down on all living beings, without sorrow or joy, without worry or pity.

At this moment, she finally understood why Lin Tuan had been unable to warm up such a person for three thousand years.

This thing is clearly an insulation material board.

"Senior sister, senior sister, let's not be angry. Junior brother was wrong back then, but it's the New Year, and we're already here..." Ju Yuan was still trying to mediate.

Feng Chao sneered, "He's the only one causing trouble during the New Year. If he's here, he'd better get out of here."

"Ouch." Feng Chao coughed because he was hit by a gust of wind.

"Senior Sister, the wind and snow are so heavy, why are you still out here in the wind?"

A carefree greeting, tinged with concern, pierced through the wind and snow and the hustle and bustle of the world, reaching the ears of the sect leader who was on the verge of losing his temper.

Lin Du then raised his hand, releasing the spiritual power of the Floating Life Fan, and softly said, "Stop."

For a moment, the ice and snow stopped, hovering in the air as if frozen in place.

"The wind was too strong; perhaps that fellow Daoist couldn't hear your curses. Now it's all right."

Lin Du smiled, put away the Floating Life Fan, and tilted his head. "By the way, who is this rogue cultivator?"

Feng Chao was only stunned for a moment before laughing. "Come, come, junior sister, let me introduce you. This is Hou Cang, the former number one on the Qingyun Ranking."

She waved enthusiastically to Lin Du, used her spiritual power to move her to her side, and happily put her arm around Lin Du's shoulder. She looked at Hou Cang and said, "According to your seniority in the Supreme Sect, this is your junior sister, and now the number one in talent on the Azure Cloud Ranking, Lin Du."

The two former number one talents looked at each other from afar, one as calm as snow and the other as unrestrained as the wind. Their eyes met, and it was Lin Du who spoke first.

"So you're a senior, I've heard so much about you."

Lin Du clasped his hands and nodded respectfully, but his gaze was untamed, like a long wind sweeping across a thousand miles of rolling grass and falling leaves.

After a long pause, a reply came from the other end: "Greetings, Junior Sister."

Feng Chao pointed to Hou Cang and said, "Junior Sister, remember this well. This is the last disciple of our Supreme Sect's former sect leader. Six hundred years ago, he was a candidate for the new sect leader, but unfortunately, he disobeyed his master and left without saying goodbye. He has only just returned. In your opinion, should you call this person Senior Brother?"

These words made Ju Yuan, who was still holding an abacus, break out in a cold sweat.

Lin Du suddenly tilted his head and smiled, just as the frozen snow in the air suddenly began to fall again.

"Senior Sister, the snow is so heavy today. Why don't we ask Senior Hou Cang why he has come to Dingjiu City as a guest?"
