The Unique Guardian Beast Master in Cultivation World

Chapter 549 -323: Don’t You Feel Superfluous?_2

“Hua Qingyu!”

A faint smile curled up the corners of Feng Qing’an’s mouth as he toyed with the key in his hand. He had earlier planned on making a scene, deciding that if they didn’t want to include him in their play, then no one should get to play at all.

If he could catch them once, surely he could catch them twice. As for the disciples’ powerful backgrounds, Feng Qing’an had long sought out Dong Huang’s input on this matter.

Feng Qing’an had even somewhat anxiously wondered if capturing these elite would offend the influential sects backing them. All he had received in response were dumbfounded stares.

No matter how prudish the Immortal sects might be, there are limits. Unless some old codger standing on a higher ground disregards morality and rules to strike the young ones, their sects would only react if the young disciples are aggressively bullied.

In a situation like the present where the unruly youngsters are stirring up trouble by provoking higher-level spirits, their capture and detention wouldn’t likely cause trouble, even if the disciples’ sects get involved.

After all, each elite is a walking causality machine. Were their sects to target all forces that have crossed paths with them and harbored hostile intentions, they’d have to start a war with half the world. No sect could persevere through such a conflict, obliteration would be inevitable.

“Would you like to come with me and explore the secret grounds together?”

Feng Qing’an directed his invitation straight at Star Lodging Sect’s direct disciple.

“You brat, is this how you speak to a master? However, if you sweet-talk me a bit, I might just agree to take you along!”

At Feng Qing’an’s invitation, Hua Qingyu burst into laughter, totally devoid of the restraint and grace expected from a female cultivator.

“Go if you wish, in this netherworld, it’s not yet certain who will guide whom!”

Even though Feng Qing’an hadn’t had a face-off with the direct disciple of Star Lodging Sect, he knew not to underestimate her. Her standing within the elite group revealed much.

Only two or three could even marginally converse with her on equal footing. When it comes to decision-making, her words carry immense weight. No one dare go against her opinion.

“Before we talk about who’s leading who, you only have half of the key. You need the other half if you want to enter the secret place!”

The young girl’s malign gaze fell on Danding Zong’s Jin Suyan, who was previously watching conflicts unfold with amusement. The enchanting female cultivator shrunk back under Hua Qingyu’s stare, her curvaceous body unconsciously trembling.

“Mr. Jin, would you like to join us?”

Without giving Hua Qingyu a chance to act out, Feng Qing’an politely asked. Ignoring his pallid complexion and weak demeanor, he seemed quite refined and extraordinary.

“At Brother Feng’s invitation, I’d be glad to join. Moreover, with the accompaniment of Hua, no matter what we face in the secret place, we can tackle it head-on.”

Under Hua Qingyu’s malicious glare, Jin Suyan barely thought twice and readily agreed, her head bobbing like a pecking chick.

Caught in the bemused and somewhat stunned gazes of many disciples, Feng Qing’an who had been ostracized by some, clapped his hands, his face radiating with joy,

“Great, the key to the secret place is now complete, let us three set off then!”

“Feng Qing’an, you loathsome brute. After all our effort spent helping you, you just plan to leave like this? Are you going to completely ignore us?”

Xin Fu’s face darken as he stopped the jubilant Feng Qing’an.

“Are you planning to abandon us?”

“Fellow Daoist Xin, you can’t quite put it like that. What do you mean by saying ‘I am abandoning you’? Aren’t there some fellow Daoists who believe I shouldn’t be traveling with you? I was merely left with no choice but to use this last resort.”

With an innocent expression on his face, Feng Qing’an looked at the few Daoist elites who had earlier spoken out against him. Their faces were ashen. Without the key, what could they do in the Netherworld? This was not a benevolent place to be.

“Right, Su True Transmission, do you wish to join us? I feel like our three-person group is lacking, we need to add one more person.”

The self-deceiving look on Feng Qingan’s face suggested that he did not fully grasp his own situation. He quickly changed the topic to invite the last female cultivator present.

“…”

Under everyone’s gaze, Su Qingying didn’t respond. She only moved lightly, like a lotus flower in the wind, to Feng Qingan’s side. This gesture alone gave the best answer. Apparently, this true disciple of the Ice Emperor Palace had accepted Feng Qingan’s invitation.

“Great, now that we’ve gathered everyone, let’s move, Qing Yu!”

“What about us? Neither Jin Wuying nor I have wronged you. We were the ones who brought you along at first, and now you’re going to abandon us like this?”

Seeing Feng Qingan leading three stunningly beautiful ladies to explore the secret region, Xin Fu immediately blocked their way. He had helped this jerk so many times, and yet Feng Qingan was planning on leaving him behind?

“It’s precisely because I care about you, that I can’t take you with us!”

Feng Qingan said seriously.

“How do you figure?”

“Look, I am the only man here, venturing into the wilderness with three talented ladies. What better opportunity could I ask for to build a relationship and find my Daoist companion?

If you guys horn in on me, what would that make you two? Interfering with my good fortune? If you’re as loyal to me as you claim, then save face and don’t interfere.”

Said Feng Qingan, waving his hand dismissively. He intended to seize this chance to explore the secret region with the three female cultivators. Why should he let irrelevant people get involved?

“Find a Daoist companion? You already have a pair of sisters and you’re still not satisfied?”

Upon seeing Feng Qing’an’s brazen attitude, Xin Fu couldn’t help but widen his eyes. This self-proclaimed lady-killer cultivator now looked differently at Feng Qing’an.

The previously hidden Jin Wuying also came into view, revealing a dull short blade in his hand, his desire to cut someone evident in his eyes.

“What’s there to be satisfied about? I’m just looking for a Daoist companion, is that such a heinous crime?”

Feng Qingan stood his ground. If Dong Huang didn’t have the intention to be his Daoist companion, he couldn’t force it onto her, so the only option was to go with the flow. As for Nan Ge, she was submissive and had no opinion on this matter, yet was hindered by her elder sister.

Although these two sisters had a deep connection with him, even their spirit and soul intertwined, they hadn’t considered their future — It was likely due to his identity as a reincarnated fairy monarch.

All the powerful characters, once reincarnated, will have their cultivation and knowledge from their past life restored when the time is ripe. All their current memories will be overlaid, just like a drop of water merging into the ocean. The people they were once familiar with would naturally disappear and become complete strangers.

“Pah, look at the state you’re in, you’re thinking about finding a Daoist companion? You can’t even walk straight, which of these three ladies would be interested in you?”

Xin Fu spat at Feng Qingan. Even though he used to think that he had pretty thick skin, he realized that he had to concede defeat to a man he just met. After openly flirting with a pair of Yin Spirit sisters, Feng Qingan’s audacity was outrageous as he was still openly looking for another Daoist companion.

“What’s wrong with the way I look? This is the price I’ve paid for saving all of you, superficial!”

Feng Qingan dismissed his criticism, confident that as long as he kept a distance from Dong Huang, he would recover in no time.

His current physical strength shouldn’t be underestimated. As long as he wasn’t faced with a formidable existence like Dong Huang, he could easily suppress small demons like Nan Ge. Unfortunately, even they weren’t enough to satisfy him.

“Hehe, if Brother Feng is willing to cut off ties with the master of the Ghost Immortal Nation, I’d be willing to become your Daoist companion and accompany you for the rest of my life!”
