This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 75: On Straight Men — Indeed, Senior Brother is Formidable

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: On Straight Men — Indeed, Senior Brother is Formidable

He Zhiqing was full of question marks, not realizing at all that he had said anything wrong. Yu Gejing wasn’t really angry either, just frequently irritated by her junior brother’s blunt male perspective, but it didn’t take long for her face to regain its bright, cheerful smile.

"This isn’t a place to talk. How about we go to our Complete Heaven Sect’s stronghold in Immortal City? I remember that Taoist Sect doesn’t usually set up any kind of business outside."

Yu Gejing didn’t bother with the simpleton, warmly inviting Liang Yi and Su Youyi instead.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi looked at each other upon hearing this. Was their sect really that poor?

"Then we shall humbly accept, thank you Senior Sister Yu."

While the four of them walked on the streets of Qingliang City, they drew many lingering glances. Those with high attractiveness often liked to associate with others of high attractiveness, and the four of them, even in the beauty-filled Cultivation World, belonged to the upper echelon of appearance and temperament.

Among them, Liang Yi stood out the most. Did anyone really think his maximum charm value was just for show?

Just as the four happily chatted on their way to the Complete Heaven Sect’s compound, they didn’t notice a seemingly inconspicuous vendor quietly sending out a secret message.

····

"Taoist Sect’s Liang Yi has arrived in Qingliang?"

"Yes, Saintess. Now, Liang Yi and Su Youyi are on their way to the estate Complete Heaven Sect has purchased in Qingliang City."

In a certain courtyard in Qingliang City, suffused with Jiangnan Water Town ambiance with its winding pavilions and numerous artificial hills, sat a young lady with a white veil, listening to the report from a man in a black robe behind her.

Perhaps because the fish in the lake were too adorable, the girl took off her embroidered shoes and gently slid her smooth-as-jade toes through the water, teasing the high-quality koi within.

"What about our people?"

"They have all passed the Heavenly Light Realm’s inspection and entered the city, just waiting for the plan to begin."

"Quite efficient."

The girl withdrew her toes and gently wiped them with a handkerchief before putting her shoes back on, lazily stretching and feeling that such an autumn day was just perfect for sleeping.

"How is Azure Dragon’s Right Emissary’s injury?" The Saintess asked casually.

"The Right Emissary is still in seclusion. Banished Immortal’s strike half a year ago dealt him a grave injury. If it weren’t for the Secret Technique handed down by the Sect Hierarch, I’m afraid the Right Emissary..."

The man in the black robe replied with his head down. Although he didn’t finish his sentence, both people present understood what the latter half meant.

Upon hearing the term "Sect Hierarch," the Saintess’s demeanor subtly shifted before returning to a state of indolence.

"Alright, I understand." She waved her hand dismissively at the man in the black robe and, as if from nowhere, took out some fish food, getting entirely absorbed in feeding the fish.

"What about Liang Yi?" The man in the black robe was unsure of the Saintess’s intention. According to the Sect Hierarch’s orders, they were to kill Liang Yi at any cost. Otherwise, why would the Great Perfection of the Sixth Realm’s Azure Dragon’s Right Emissary personally attempt to kill a mere First Realm disciple, even if that disciple’s master was the Banished Immortal?

"What do you think, is Liang Yi more important, or the upcoming plan?"

"Of course... the plan is more important." The black-robed man considered for a moment before respectfully answering.

"So, at such a critical juncture, you’d risk the plan being exposed to kill that Liang Yi? What was the intelligence officer thinking?" The Saintess asked sharply.

"Saintess is wise, it was my lack of consideration," the black-robed man lowered his head even further, so much so that if one looked closely, they could see beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead.

"Hm, as long as you know. Now we prioritize the plan. There will be plenty of opportunities to kill Liang Yi later."

"Yes!"

As the figure in the black robe disappeared, the courtyard was left with only the sound of the Saintess sprinkling fish feed. The dusky autumn sunlight shone on the yellowing leaves by the lake, casting shadows over her entire body. A breeze passed through, causing the shadows to sway and making the Saintess’s eyes seem to flicker intermittently.

...

On the other side, Liang Yi and Su Youyi also followed to the Complete Heaven Sect’s courtyard in Qingliang City.

"So big?"

Upon entering, Liang Yi let out an unworldly exclamation. It wasn’t that Liang Yi had never seen such a large courtyard, but that he hadn’t seen one this large in Qingliang.

The land prices in Qingliang were akin to the core areas of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou in the previous world, the kind of domain beyond the reach of ordinary people for a lifetime.

Qingliang City was one of the most famous main cities in the game, where countless players would gather. In such a bustling city, who wouldn’t want to own a piece of land?

However, even some elite clubs backed by conglomerates in the past life only rented plots of land in less remote areas of Qingliang City for their guild bases.

As for prime locations, just asking about the price had scared the management of those guilds pale.

Buying? Let’s not even talk about the exorbitant price. Without the strength to back you up, the guards in charge of land transactions in Qingliang City wouldn’t even spare you a glance. To Liang Yi’s knowledge, those who had their own land in these prime inner-city areas of Qingliang City were at the very least top-tier forces and big shots of the Seventh Realm.

"After all, it’s Complete Heaven Sect’s facade here; it wouldn’t be good if it looked too shabby," said He Zhiqing, who had been here several times before and led Liang Yi and others through numerous pavilions and towers before they arrived at the reception room.

"Plus, this large courtyard costs a lot just to maintain. Super Forces make a lot of money, but they spend even more," Yu Gejing laughed. He always felt heart-wrenchingly painful when he saw his father being pressed by the elder in charge of daily affairs to apply for funding.

"Haha, now that I think about it, our Taoist Sect with fewer people also spends quite a bit less," Su Youyi said with a laugh.

"Each has its advantages," Liang Yi commented.

While the four were chatting, a maid served them Spiritual Tea.

"By the way, Elder Brother He, why did Complete Heaven Sect arrive here so quickly this time? I heard from Master that you guys always make an appearance at the end, don’t you?" Liang Yi raised his head and asked after tasting the oolong tea.

"About that..." He Zhiqing looked troubled, unsure how to respond, and could only look at his senior sister for help.

"Actually, we sneaked out," Yu Gejing nonchalantly revealed the reason.

"Ah?" Su Youyi was somewhat shocked. Could it be like the stories say...

Elopement?

Liang Yi’s mind instantly conjured up a scene where a master’s senior disciple wished to marry his daughter but was tragically rejected. However, the master’s daughter had already given her heart and chose to elope despite her father’s disagreement.

"Wait a second, do the characters in the script seem familiar?" Liang Yi frowned, lost in thought.

"It’s not what you guys are thinking!" Seeing the expressions on their faces, He Zhiqing immediately knew what they were thinking and quickly waved his hands to clarify, but failed to notice the dimmed light in Yu Gejing’s eyes.

"I just came here earlier with senior sister to look around. The rest of the Complete Heaven Sect will arrive in a couple of days; there’s nothing between me and senior sister."

"Is this a demonstration of how straight men talk?" Liang Yi covered his eyes, unable to bear the painfully straightforward speech.

"Is having something to do with me that repulsive to you?"

Unable to bear another jab, Yu Gejing could not listen anymore and used her Killing Move, delivering a sharp pinch to He Zhiqing’s waist.
