6: The Sect Mistress Summons & A Duel with a Hidden Beauty

Chapter 6: The Sect Mistress Summons & A Duel with a Hidden Beauty

Su Meiyu's Temptation Lingers

Lin Tian stood frozen for a few moments, watching as Su Meiyu's seductive figure disappeared into the distance.

Her nine fluffy tails swayed hypnotically, her curvy form moving with effortless grace beneath that silky, deep-red robe. The teasing smirk on her mature, flawless face still lingered in his mind.

💭 "Damn… That woman is too dangerous."

He shook his head, exhaling slowly.

💭 "Alright, focus, Lin Tian. First, I need to find out what she meant by 'next challenge.'"

Just as he was about to leave the training grounds, a new system notification popped up.

[Ding! Milf Conqueror System Update!]

Target: Su Meiyu (Mystic Fox Clan) has become intrigued!

New Side Quest: Impress Su Meiyu in Combat!

Reward: Increased Favorability & Bonus Skill Unlock!

Lin Tian grinned.

💭 "So if I perform well in battle, I'll impress her even more? Sounds easy enough."

But just as he was about to head off to the training hall—

A voice as cold as a winter breeze called out to him.

"Lin Tian."

He stiffened slightly.

There was only one person in the sect who carried that kind of icy authority.

Summoned by the Sect Mistress

Lin Tian turned around slowly—

And standing there, gazing at him with unreadable violet eyes, was Yue Qingyan, the Sect Mistress of Azure Moon.

Her long silver hair shimmered in the afternoon light, her flawless, mature face as poised and elegant as ever. Her blue and white sect robe hugged her figure, accentuating her graceful curves while maintaining her untouchable air of authority.

The surrounding disciples immediately lowered their heads in respect.

Lin Tian, however?

He smirked. "Sect Mistress, to what do I owe this honor?"

Some disciples gasped audibly.

💬 "This guy is insane!"

💬 "How can he talk to the Sect Mistress so casually?!"

💬 "Is the rumor… true? That he spent the night with her?!"

Yue Qingyan's gaze sharpened slightly, but instead of reprimanding him, she merely turned.

"Follow me."

Without waiting, she walked away toward the inner sect pavilion.

Lin Tian grinned.

💭 "Well, well, looks like I've made quite an impression."

He followed her, ignoring the envious stares burning into his back.

Private Meeting with the Ice Phoenix

The inner sect pavilion was one of the most exclusive areas of the sect, reserved for elders and high-ranking disciples.

Lin Tian had only been here once before, back when he was still a so-called "genius." Now, he was returning under very different circumstances.

Inside, Yue Qingyan led him into a dimly lit chamber, where a low tea table and two cushions were placed in the center. The room smelled faintly of incense and jasmine, the atmosphere tranquil yet heavy with her presence.

She gestured for him to sit.

Lin Tian lowered himself onto a cushion, still wearing a relaxed smirk. "I didn't expect such an intimate setting, Sect Mistress. Should I be flattered?"

[Ding! Silver Tongue Effect Activated!]

For the briefest moment, Yue Qingyan's expression flickered.

Was that… a faint blush?

But she quickly regained her composure, pouring herself a cup of tea with slow, practiced movements.

"You have made quite a spectacle of yourself today, Lin Tian," she said coolly. "Defeating Bai Feng in a single strike… playing games with Elder Su Meiyu… and now, rumors are spreading that you and I—"

She paused.

Lin Tian grinned. "—That you personally nursed me back to health?"

Her violet eyes narrowed. "You seem amused by this."

Lin Tian leaned forward slightly. "That depends. Is it true?"

Yue Qingyan's lips parted slightly, her fingers tightening around the tea cup.

Was that hesitation?

💭 "Oh, this is getting interesting."

She exhaled softly. "Enough. I did not call you here for idle conversation."

She finally looked directly at him, her gaze unreadable.

"You are strong, Lin Tian. Stronger than you should be. I want to see just how far your abilities go."

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "Are you… challenging me?"

Yue Qingyan shook her head. "No. But I will arrange a duel for you."

The Hidden Beauty's Challenge

Within an hour, Lin Tian found himself standing in the training arena once again, but this time, the atmosphere was different.

Disciples gathered in large numbers, whispering amongst themselves. Even elders were watching from the upper platforms.

💬 "Who is he fighting?"

💬 "Sect Mistress personally arranged this battle—it must be important!"

💬 "Could it be… one of the elite disciples?"

Lin Tian cracked his knuckles, feeling the energy in the air.

And then—

A soft, graceful voice echoed through the arena.

"I hope you are ready, Lin Tian."

His eyes widened slightly as his opponent stepped into view.

A stunning woman with long jet-black hair, wearing a sleek, form-fitting white battle robe with gold embroidery.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her golden eyes carrying an unshakable calmness.

💬 "Holy shit, it's Luo Qingcheng!"

💬 "The Ice Blade Fairy!"

💬 "One of the strongest disciples in the sect!"

Lin Tian felt a familiar system notification.

[Ding! New Milf Target Detected!]

Luo Qingcheng (Sect's Hidden Genius, 250+ years old, looks 23).

Special Trait: Ice Dao Mastery. Cold but… vulnerable to charm?

Status: Curious about Lin Tian. Slightly intrigued.

Lin Tian grinned.

💭 "Oh, this is going to be fun."
