Chapter 1052: Are You In Love With Him?

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian stared at Jiang Ziyu. He didn’t expect that Jiang Ziyu would say such a thing, changing the topic suddenly and inviting him to visit the Jiang Clan as a guest.

However, Jiang Ziyu’s heart was unfathomable. He naturally wouldn’t put himself in danger by agreeing. Qin Wentian replied, "Earlier, you just said that if any of my secrets came to light, a great calamity would surely befall me. Yet now you are inviting me to your clan? Don’t you find this ridiculous? Wouldn’t my actions and movements be controlled once I enter the Jiang Clan?"

"I can guarantee that if you are willing to come as a guest, I will show you respect and proper courtesy." Jiang Ziyu smiled. There was a mysteriousness in his eyes, also an intense self-confidence where by no one could see through him.

"An ancient clan with countless years of history. Who knows what methods you have under your control? Most probably, your clan is able to control the will of people." Qin Wentian coldly smiled. Wasn’t this Jiang Ziyu a little too naive? He wasn’t someone so foolish.

"I’m not free." Qin Wentian replied emotionlessly.

"You don’t dare to?" Jiang Ziyu tried reverse psychology.

"You want to make me agree to go to your clan with just a single sentence? Are you worth giving so much face to?" Qin Wentian coldly spoke. Jiang Ziyu’s reverse psychology technique was simply ridiculous.

"Hehe." Jiang Ziyu laughed, feeling no surprise at the answer. It would be strange if Qin Wentian actually agreed.

Inclining his head, staring at the two silhouettes ascending up the air, Jiang Ziyu spoke in a low voice, "Seems like today, you are bent on obstructing me."

"The whole point of this test is a battle between the holy maidens themselves. We are only responsible for their protection. You’ve done too much." Qin Wentian replied.

"Since I’m a protector, I naturally would do my best to make Nanfeng Qingruo achieve her goals. Your thinking is somewhat absurd but there’s no denying your strength. I have no way to disregard your existence and continue helping Qingruo to ascend. Seems like the position of Holy Succesor in this generation would be obtained by Nanfeng Yunxi." Jiang Ziyu calmly stated, as though he was speaking of a matter that had nothing to do with him. He was just a spectator and who ultimately would become the Holy Successor wouldn’t affect him too much.

Jiang Ziyu’s words gave Qin Wentian a feeling that him coming to help Nanfeng Qingruo this time around for the trials, was nothing but a tempering exercise for him. He was very carefree in this regard, if he could fight for it, he would do his best but if he couldn’t the calmness in his heart wouldn’t be disrupted either. He instantly moved this failure to the back of his mind, completely forgetting it. Such inner peace truly resembled cultivators of the buddhist path.

Kong Ye is one of Nanfeng Shengge’s protectors but his state of heart was far inferior to Jiang Ziyu.

"Qin Wentian, although your combat prowess is overwhelming, we are both unable to unleash our strength completely in this battle. If we can do so, the probability of your defeat will certainly be very high." Jiang Ziyu was as though he was very interested in Qin Wentian. Before this he didn’t talk much but after fighting against Qin Wentian, he grew more and more interested and wanted to see through all of Qin Wentian’s secrets.

Qin Wentian was a genius that is even younger than him, yet he already possessed such a high level of combat prowess. This made him extremely curious. Earlier in their combat, Jiang Ziyu saw many extraordinary aspects of Qin Wentian.

"Who knows what would happen if we both went all out? I have no interest in discussing something so vague." Qin Wentian replied. Jiang Ziyu was observing him but he was similarly also observing Jiang Ziyu. Right now, he wasn’t in a hurry. As long as he kept Jiang Ziyu occupied here, Nanfeng Yunxi would be the victor for sure.

"Indeed." Jiang Ziyu nodded in agreement, "Anyway, I heard that you are from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Are you a disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Qin Wentian asked.

Jiang Ziyu smiled, "If you are not his disciple, why not join my Jiang Clan? I can give you a recommendation and you would surely be nurtured heavily with guidance and treatment equivalent to a descendant of my clan. Naturally, even if you really have a master you can always just change your sect. We are one of the three great ancient clans of the Southern Region and our foundations are deeper and more robust than most. It is something the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect wouldn’t be able to match. I’m sure you are already aware of this point from witnessing the splendor of the Southern Phoenix Clan.

"Thanks for your kindness, but I have completely no interest in the Jiang Clan." Qin Wentian replied.

"You are not the disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord." Jiang Ziyu suddenly added.

"Believe what you will." Qin Wentian indifferently replied.

"There’s no need to attempt to hide things, I already know the answer." Jiang Ziyu’s smile was unfathomable and mysterious. Qin Wentian stared at his eyes, only to feel that Jiang Ziyu was an individual that was exceedingly tough to handle. Could it be what Nanfeng Shengge had said? Jiang Ziyu cultivated the Heavenly Vision Technique and was able to see past all illusions. He could even decipher the thoughts of people. If this is true, this is simply too terrifying.

Nanfeng Shengge had been listening to their conversation. Kong Ye was beside her and she discovered that although Kong Ye was already considered a peak-level heaven chosen in the Southern Region, he was still inferior to the two young men before her eyes. Qin Wentian defeated Kong Ye with a cultivation base at the first level of immortality and Jiang Ziyu was unfathomable, even able to comprehend the secrets hidden on the parasol leaves. His combat prowess was also extremely terrifying.

Seems like Jiang Ziyu could be considered a demon-level genius among the Jiang Clan of this generation. He must be roaming the immortal realms for tempering and to think he would actually choose their Southern Phoenix Clan as the place to do so. Such a temperament was indeed something to be feared.

Once this man matured, he would surely be a terrifying character of the Jiang Clan.

Naturally when compared to Jiang Ziyu, Qin Wentian even made her feel more shocked. After all, Jiang Ziyu was an elite of an ancient clan and had the nurturing and protection of them. However, Qin Wentian had none of them; yet he had such potential. In the future, he would definitely be some that heralded in a new era.

At this moment, a bright light flashed abruptly. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared in the air. Sparks of red-colored light motes rained down, illuminating this entire space. The stairway Nanfeng Yunxi formed from her comprehension has already been completed and reached the peak of the ancient parasol tree.

Nanfeng Qingruo was still a little lacking in the end. Her eyes were filled with disappointment when she stared up in the air. Had she failed in the end despite already arriving at this step?

A beam of flame descended from the sky, burning the stairways into cinders. Nanfeng Qingruo had no choice but to descend back to the ground. A few moments later, she appeared at the location where Qin Wentian and the others were at. She stood beside Jiang Ziyu and her beautiful eyes glanced at Qin Wentian. However, a light smile could be seen on her face as she spoke, "Sir Qin is so awesome, you have succeeded in protecting sister Yunxi all the way till the end, granting to her the position of Holy Successor."

"Does Holy Maiden Qingruo believe this is so?" Qin Wentian asked. He then continued, "Ultimately, Nanfeng Yunxi still depended on herself to become the Holy Successor. Her comprehension abilities are one of the strongest among the holy maidens and she was leading with every step. What I can do is only to provide protection against disturbances. If Holy Maiden Qingruo overtook Nanfeng Yunxi earlier and with Jiang Ziyu here to protect you, I too, wouldn’t be able to prevent your ascension to the peak."

"Your words do contain logic, but you mustn’t downplay the amount of usefulness protectors can provide. Shengge is one of the maidens with stronger comprehensions but isn’t she also out of the running in the end?" Nanfeng Qingruo smiled, her words causing Kong Ye to have an expression of guilt on his face. It was because of his defeat, which implicated Nanfeng Shengge to fail.

"That has already passed. Sister Qingruo, there’s no need to continue any longer." Nanfeng Shengge didn’t mind it and smiled. Qin Wentian could see the smiles in the eyes of both these holy maidens, he sighed silently in admiration at how extraordinary the Southern Phoenix Clan is. These two holy maidens were both supreme heaven chosen and would certainly have illustrious accomplishments in the future.

"Okay I won’t say anymore but I really want to go up there and take a look." Nanfeng Qingruo stared in the direction of the peak of the gigantic parasol tree. Her eyes were filled with hints of hidden bitterness as she glanced at Qin Wentian but her beauty made Qin Wentian silently gulp a little.

All the holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan were celestial beauties. This was especially so for Nanfeng Yunxi and the two holy maidens before him. They were the most beautiful out of the bunch. In addition, Qin Wentian felt a little guilty in front of Nanfeng Qingruo and Nanfeng Shengge. This was especially true when he saw the look in Nanfeng Qingruo’s eyes, it was like she knew something. Qin Wentian didn’t dare to match gazes with her any longer.

And as they spoke, Nanfeng Yunxi ascended to the very peak of the gigantic parasol tree. She came with a heart filled with worship, her eyes turned ahead as her heart pounded rapidly, involuntarily.

In fact, Nanfeng Yunxi was panting.

"There’s no need to be nervous." A ethereal voice that seemed to hail from the primordial era drifted into Nanfeng Yunxi’s ears. Her heartbeat quickened even more when she heard those words. In the distance, there was another golden gleaming tree and right in front of that ancient golden tree, a true live phoenix was actually present. This phoenix was covered in fire, her wings were resplendent and graceful, exuding an aura of pureness. Her eyes were filled with wisdom, as though able to see through the mysteries of the world.

"Are you the ancestor of my Southern Phoenix Clan?" Nanfeng Yunxi asked in a low voice. In the ancestral lands, there’s actually a real life phoenix here. How shocking was this?

"I can be considered so. I’ve existed together with the Southern Phoenix Clan right from the very beginning." Although the ancient phoenix was before her, her voice was incomparably ethereal. Nanfeng Yunxi could sense a gentleness in the eyes of the phoenix, giving her a serene feeling.

"Child, your immortal foundation is almost perfect. You are only a step away from establishing the perfect saint-grade immortal foundation. Right now in this era, if you had no fortunate encounters, it’s impossible to establish such a foundation. Also, I can sense that your fleshly body had undergone a baptism before." The phoenix spoke. Nanfeng Yunxi nodded as she replied, "When I was in the City of Ancient Emperors, I had a bout of good fortune and my body was baptized by the sacred luminance. Not only that, I’ve also learned of a method to establish the saint-grade immortal foundation."

"The person acting as your protector should be the same as you. You guys must have encountered the same good fortune in the same location right?" The ancestral phoenix asked.

"Yes." Nanfeng Yunxi nodded.

"Not bad." The phoenix smiled. After that she asked, "Are you in love with him?"

Nanfeng Yunxi froze. Her beautiful eyes stared at the ancestral phoenix before her. Was she in love with Qin Wentian?

Before meeting Qin Wentian in the City of Ancient Emperors, she had truly never thought that she would fall in love with someone. But what about now?

"Tell me with your heart. This is very important. The Southern Phoenix Matriarch is unable to marry outsiders, unless he is willing to marry into our clan." The ancestral phoenix gently spoke. Nanfeng Yunxi was silent for several moments before she gave her answer.
