The Young Matriarch
Chapter 742 - Chapter 742 Chapter 742 The True Owner of Canglan Island

Chapter 742: Chapter 742: The True Owner of Canglan Island Chapter 742: Chapter 742: The True Owner of Canglan Island Jiao Peng felt a surge of joy, but his heart still held some displeasure.

That young girl, Bai Chuwei, had caused him tremendous embarrassment.

So she was a female cultivator with some cultivation base, no wonder she had been unwilling to accept him as her master back at Imperial University.

Jiao Peng looked towards Xu Xingchen and spoke with a somewhat frosty tone, “You go back first.”

Xu Xingchen nearly jumped into the sea in frustration, “!!”

How could he go back?

He wasn’t capable of walking on water, and he didn’t have a boat.

Xu Xingchen’s eyes turned a bloody red as he glared at Bai Chuwei, while Bai Chuwei nonchalantly played with the ends of her dark hair and said casually, “Keep staring and I’ll dig out your eyeballs and stomp on them like firecrackers.”

Xu Xingchen shuddered involuntarily. As long as the words came from Bai Chuwei’s mouth, no matter how shocking or unbelievable, they were all possible.

Bai Chuwei, this malicious woman.

Bai Ze didn’t care about the details; he and his fellow disciples herded Xu Xingchen towards the island’s shore like ducks…

Jiao Peng watched as the cultivators around him smirked mockingly, his face barely able to conceal his embarrassment. He coughed and said, “The Gathering of Immortals Conference should be starting soon, let’s head inside first.”

After speaking, Jiao Peng quickly walked ahead.

Jiao Peng stole a glance at Bai Chuwei by his side; her side profile was exquisitely featured, her skin so smooth one couldn’t see a single pore, just like a Little Fairy descended from the ninth heaven. Yet, he still felt some discomfort in his heart.

She had some cultivation base, probably related to Qingxuan.

Was she leveraging that connection to refuse him again and again?

As for what Bai Ze and his fellow disciples had said earlier, Jiao Peng didn’t take it seriously at all. In public, he needed to maintain

It wasn’t that Jiao Peng was boasting, but his cultivation base could rank in the top one hundred in the whole Cultivation World! Taking Bai Chuwei as a disciple would have been a piece of cake.

The main venue of the Gathering of Immortals Conference was set on Canglan Island, in the center of the island. With a panoramic view, it was backed by various exotic flowers and spiritual plants unique to the island, like a secret haven of immortals.

Jiao Peng, with his exceptional vision, immediately spotted Qingxuan in his black robe, exuding an air of immortal elegance!

A twinge of envy suddenly appeared in Jiao Peng’s heart. He remembered that when he had traveled abroad half a year ago, Qingxuan had seemed listless and defeated. Now, how had he managed to become so well-off?

Qingxuan leapt down from the stands, his robe fluttering in the wind, making him appear even more like an ethereal immortal as he strode towards them.

Jiao Peng felt a wave of relief. He had been somewhat worried that Qingxuan’s advancement in cultivation might make him dismiss Jiao Peng, but it turned out to be the same as before. Qingxuan greeted him warmly upon his arrival.

Seeing Qingxuan’s excited expression approaching, Jiao Peng’s face broke into a smile, “Qingxuan, it’s been a long time, you…”

Jiao Peng’s voice stopped abruptly, his sturdy body frozen as he stared at the scene before him.

Qingxuan, who had just looked the embodiment of an immortal sage, became ecstatic the moment he saw Bai Chuwei, as if he had seen an esteemed ancestor.

With immense excitement, Qingxuan said, “Senior Bai, I was just wondering why you hadn’t come inside. Please, come in!”

Qingxuan, as if he hadn’t seen Jiao Peng at all, squeezed his way to Bai Chuwei’s side, almost pushing Jiao Peng into a stumble.

Everyone watched Qingxuan as he all but offered to escort an old lady.

The Cultivation World’s number one sycophant…

Without a shred of embarrassment on his face, Qingxuan declared righteously, “Senior Bai is the true master of Canglan Island. What’s wrong with me showing respect to the senior?”

All those present were in an uproar, their shock evident as they turned towards the white-clothed young woman.

The… real master of Canglan Island?
