Chapter 650: Chapter 323 Will Not Admit Defeat!

The appearance of the Locking Space Restriction undoubtedly stirred up a great commotion in the Jianghu, prompting endless discussions among cultivators.

This is the only ascension figure to appear following the ascension of the Taoist Ancestor of Zhenxuan Mountain.

The eyes of everyone instinctively turned toward the Capital.

There was reverence, anticipation, sentimentality, envy, jealousy... but primarily confusion and concern.

After all, since the destruction of the Ascension Bridge, there hadn’t been a single successful ascension in over six hundred years. Even if someone summoned the Heavenly Gate, without the Ascension Bridge, ascension remained impossible.

Thus, many people doubted that Zhao Wuxiu would succeed.

No bridge—how could one rise to the heavens?

But regardless, Zhao Wuxiu had already reached a height envied by all cultivators. This ascension spectacle was destined to be recorded in history and become an eternal topic of conversation.

Jiang Shouzhong and his party of four arrived at a small town named Yuyuan.

In the town, there were many wandering Jianghu individuals, mostly grouped in threes and fours discussing, and naturally, the topic of conversation revolved around Zhao Wuxiu’s ascension.

"Pfft, such a big commotion! If he can’t ascend, he’ll just be a laughingstock."

Yelü Miaomiao muttered softly, overhearing the chatter around her.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Qu Hongling and Yelü Miaomiao wore wide-brimmed hats to hide their identities. Even Dugu Luoxue, under Jiang Shouzhong’s persuasion, veiled her face.

Yet even so, the three women’s graceful figures and extraordinary temperaments still drew numerous gazes.

Fortunately, those traversing the Jianghu had some insight and, sensing the unusual aura exuding from the group of four, realized they were not to be trifled with, thus refraining from approaching them unnecessarily and sparing them many disturbances.

Listening to Yelü Miaomiao’s ridicule, Qu Hongling responded objectively: "He won’t become a laughingstock. Even if he fails, Zhao Wuxiu remains a god in the hearts of cultivators."

People at the foot of the mountain can only ever look up to those at its peak.

Even if those at the peak cannot touch the heavens.

Yelü Miaomiao rolled her eyes dramatically, disinclined to argue further with her.

Since they couldn’t fly, the journey to Zhenxuan Mountain was relatively lengthy, taking at least five to six days. Besides basic necessities, Jiang Shouzhong had bought plenty of dried food and other supplies for the road.

While purchasing clothing, Dugu Luoxue bought some fabric and thread.

Clearly, she planned to make another garment for her disciple.

Yelü Miaomiao and Qu Hongling bought some sweets, melon seeds, and snacks to nibble on during the journey.

To pass the time, the two women also purchased small toys and chessboards for entertainment along the way.

After preparing the carriage, the group found an inn to clean up before setting off, as their earlier "battle" had left them feeling somewhat sticky.

Even Dugu Luoxue was eager to freshen up.

She too bore "dirty" traces upon her body.

Although these traces might be considered treasures to most men, to this Confucian female master, they were marks of her fall from grace—imperfections that had to be cleansed.

At first, Jiang Shouzhong only planned to book two rooms.

One room for Dugu Luoxue, while the other he’d share with the two women for a romantic "bird bathing" session.

Unfortunately, before he could act on this idea, the two women flatly rejected it.

What frustrated him even more was that Yelü Miaomiao and Qu Hongling refused to bathe together, fearing exposure to each other’s bodies—even though they’d already overheard the sounds of each other in bed.

In the end, left with no alternative, Jiang Shouzhong simply booked four rooms, which prompted the innkeeper to give him a schadenfreude-filled look.

His gaze seemed to say: "Brother, you brought three stunning beauties, and not one of them is yours?"

The other patrons who had been secretly envious felt slightly better upon witnessing this, thinking: "At least these three beauties remain pure and untouched, unsullied by him."

But as Jiang Shouzhong ascended the staircase to the second floor, he instinctively wrapped his arms around the slender waists of the two women, causing the innkeeper and other guests who inadvertently caught a glimpse to widen their eyes.

In that moment, the crowd’s emotions turned complex, bittersweet.

Damn it, this prized cabbage has already been devoured!

Once inside his guest room, Jiang Shouzhong waited for the bathing tub to fill with warm, clear water before shedding his garments and stepping into the tub, letting the soothing water cleanse his body.

Steam billowed around him, while the gentle warmth of the water eased across his skin, gradually washing away his fatigue and the day’s dust.

Jiang Shouzhong let out a comfortable sigh, relaxing entirely as he leaned his head against the edge of the tub, carefully sorting through the recent events in his mind.

These last two days had been overwhelmingly eventful, leaving little time to catch his breath.

Though he missed the chance to reunite with Ran Qingchen, unexpectedly resolving the chaotic scene between Yelü Miaomiao and Qu Hongling ended up being quite an accomplishment.

By comparison, obtaining the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Armor held little significance for him.

In Jiang Shouzhong’s heart, no magic treasure in the world could compare to the women he cared about.

Of course, resolving the chaotic scene didn’t mean complete safety. To maintain future harmony as he enjoyed such blessings, he still needed to tread carefully and cultivate his relationships with both women.

After all, the two ladies had incredibly proud dispositions and were unwilling to suffer in matters of the heart.

Throughout this journey, the two women appeared to get along well, resembling close sisters, but the underlying tensions and veiled clashes never truly disappeared—fireworks were ever-present.

For now, Qu Hongling’s demeanor was somewhat restrained due to her guilt, allowing her to show more tolerance.

But Yelü Miaomiao, with her bold and passionate disposition, was the type to sever ties entirely if her negative emotions exploded—preferring to walk away rather than turn back.
