Chapter 1030: Leave this matter to the foreigners (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Zhou Qingruo and Xu Sheng stayed in the Scripture Vault overnight, and dawn gradually approached...

Xu Sheng placed the Immortal Rank Martial Technique back on the shelf and couldn't help but stretch lazily. A look of utter satisfaction crossed his face as he said, "I've finally finished cultivating all these Immortal Rank Martial Techniques!"

Indeed, he had been cultivating martial techniques all night, and it was not until it was almost dawn that he fully mastered these dozens of Immortal Rank Martial Techniques!

Nearby, Zhou Qingruo, who had been resting against a chair, seemed less aloof and exuded an air of tranquil serenity that instinctively made one want to draw closer...

It seemed that she perceived Xu Sheng's recent words, as Zhou Qingruo's amber Beautiful Eyes quietly opened...

Then, her gaze shifted to Xu Sheng beside her, and she asked softly, "Xu Sheng, have you finished your cultivation?"

Wearing a faint smile, Xu Sheng replied, "Yes! I've finished cultivating them all!"

Having mastered so many Immortal Rank Martial Techniques, his strength had also greatly increased. He now had absolute confidence in his victory against opponents in the same Immortal Monarch Realm!

Zhou Qingruo pursed her lips and said with a sigh, "Your talent for cultivation is truly more monstrous than a monster!"

She had always prided herself on her talent, which she regarded as one in ten thousand, yet in the presence of Xu Sheng, she only felt outmatched!

Those were indeed dozens of Immortal Rank Martial Techniques, and to reach complete mastery in just one night!

If it were herself or anyone else, it would probably take hundreds or thousands of years to achieve such a feat!

Upon hearing these words, Xu Sheng's ink-black eyes twinkled, "Qingruo, your talent isn't bad either. Let's go, it's time to leave the Scripture Vault!"

Zhou Qingruo bit her lower lip and responded flatly, "I'll take that as you comforting me. Let's go."

Immediately after, the two of them stepped out of the Scripture Vault together...

And at this moment, outside of the Scripture Vault, quite a few Duanmu Clan disciples had gathered, their gazes eagerly sweeping the surroundings...

Upon seeing Xu Sheng and the others emerge from the Scripture Vault, their faces all turned excited...

One Duanmu Family Disciple exclaimed, "Look! Zhou Qingruo and that man have come out of the Scripture Vault!"

Another disciple's eyes were filled with admiration, "Not only is Zhou Qingruo's strength superior to Elder Lian, but that man beside her seems to be a powerhouse in the Immortal Monarch Realm!!"

"Could they be a couple? Although I hate to admit it, they truly match well in both talent and attractiveness, and both are terrifyingly powerful!"

"Definitely, considering the close relationship they're displaying! But I heard that Zhou Qingruo is supposedly the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, a top-tier sect!"

"Tsk, it's probably just a rumor! If she really were the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, would she need to seek the help of our Duanmu Clan? Moreover, I've heard a little about the matters of the Great Blood Lotus Sect; the current Sect Master's name is Qin Yumo, not her!"

"Right, if she truly were the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, how could she shamelessly come back to the Duanmu Clan! Heh heh!"

Barely noticeable, Zhou Qingruo's expression turned slightly darker upon hearing these words, but she managed to suppress it well.

Feeling her emotions, Xu Sheng teased softly, "Qingruo, it seems that yesterday's battle has changed the impression these Duanmu Clan disciples have of you!"

After all, when she had first returned to the Duanmu Clan, nearly all the disciples looked at Zhou Qingruo with disdain and anger. Now, it was much better.

At the very least, many people had begun to speak up for her...

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo averted her head and replied with much pride, "I do not need the acknowledgment of these weaklings!"

Though she said this, she felt somewhat better in her heart...

Suddenly, the voice of Duanmu Lian could be heard by their ears...

"Xu Sheng, Qingruo!"

Duanmu Lian was seen waving and running over, stopping next to Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo...

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Miss Lian, I haven't seen you for a whole night!"

Elder Lian nodded her head and asked, "Nothing happened in the Scripture Vault yesterday, right?"

Upon hearing this, the color on Zhou Qingruo's cheeks, which could overthrow states and cities with their beauty, deepened a few shades...

She retorted in a soft voice, "Elder Lian, what are you talking about!"

Hearing her agitated response, Elder Lian seemed to have discovered something, and those beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled with insight, "Qingruo, are you unwittingly admitting something? I was asking if the Elder Family Head did anything to you!"

Realizing she had been played, Zhou Qingruo's face grew even hotter...

Summoning her courage, she countered, "What does it have to do with you?"

Elder Lian replied with a hint of grievance, "I'm just worried about you! But it seems like nothing happened, so just come with me"

Zhou Qingruo felt a numbness in her heart and frowned in rejection, "Go away! Don't talk like that, it's inappropriate!"

Xu Sheng, who was beside them, interjected, "Miss Lian, you couldn't have come this early just to ask us these few questions, right?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Lian's expression suddenly turned serious, and she did not deny it...

"Yes! I indeed have other matters to discuss with you! But let's go to the grand hall of the Duanmu Clan first!"

Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo exchanged glances, both perceiving the confusion in each other's eyes...

Seeing this interaction, Elder Lian, feeling somewhat sour, grabbed the arms of the two and urged, "Enough looking, enough looking, won't you have plenty of time to look properly later?"

However, this action appeared to the surrounding disciples of the Duanmu Clan to be filled with a strong sense of possession...

Suddenly, the entire vicinity was filled with noisy cries and howls...

"Oh my God, is Elder Lian declaring her sovereignty?"

"Could it be that Elder Lian, just like Duanmu Qingruo, has a thing for that man next to her? Damn it! What's so good about him?"

"He's handsome, strong, and has a good personality; he's simply an ideal man in human form! Elder Lian is in danger."

"Our goddess of the Duanmu Clan! Is she going to be taken away by a man from another clan?"

"Ahhh!! Elder Lian, how could you fall for this man!"

...

In the grand hall of the Duanmu Clan...

The faces of Duanmu Shuo and the Elders all looked very somber...

One of the Elders opened his mouth, breaking the silence, "Isn't it a bit too reckless to entrust such an important matter to an outsider?"

Another Elder also spoke up in agreement, "That's right, this is a matter for our Duanmu Clan. To ask Duanmu Qingruo, who is no longer involved with us, and an outsider...

"Perhaps we should think of another way? It doesn't sit well with me to place such a burden on an outsider!"

"But the important thing is, those people should be arriving soon!"

Duanmu Shuo bit his lip and said sternly, "No more talk, we will proceed as previously discussed!"

Even though he did not want to hand over this matter to outsiders, given the current situation, this seemed to be the only solution!
