Chapter 2140: Sage Awakens on the Altar VS Tomb-Raiding Woman (35)

Because everyone could feel that this senior Huang Tian had a rather cold demeanor.

Coupled with her cultivation and status, she instinctively isolated herself from others.

Generally speaking, people truly didn’t have the courage to get close to her.

This man in black?

Ancestor Huang He and another Mystic Saint strongman exchanged a glance, both feeling as if they had discovered something extraordinary.

After allowing Qing Yao to carefully examine her, Gu Shengyin replied, "I am fine."

Only then did Qing Yao finally relax.

Heaven knows, when he heard those words from Gu Shengyin on the way, how anxious he was inside!

He had come to understand Huang Tian’s personality over the days—cold and reserved.

For someone to have forced her to speak such words, what exactly did they do?

Qing Yao didn’t care about the other party’s intentions; what he feared most was Gu Shengyin getting hurt.

Although rationally he knew that, with Huang Tian’s cultivation, almost no one on the Tianxuan Continent could trouble her now.

But once a person is emotionally involved, matters related to their lover aren’t subject to reason.

Qing Yao virtually used the fastest speed in his life to rush to the Phoenix Family clan.

The two spoke a few more words.

...

Qing Yao didn’t conceal the worry on his face and the affection in his eyes in the slightest.

To others, these two appeared elegant and their actions were intimately close, making it seem as if they were a perfect pair made for each other.

Only Huang Bing felt somewhat conflicted inside at that moment.

By logic, being someone who not long ago admired Qing Yao, feeling dejected after a rejected confession, seeing him with another woman in close intimacy ought to make her uncomfortable internally.

She indeed felt uncomfortable now.

However, the discomfort wasn’t directed at Gu Shengyin who took her beloved, but at Qing Yao whom she had previously admired.

Feeling that her own ancestor Huang Tian was such a powerful and beautiful person—no one on the Tianxuan Continent could be deemed worthy of her.

Even Qing Yao who was once admired.

Previously when Huang Bing admired him, she thought everything about him was good, but now, seeing him standing beside Gu Shengyin, her gaze couldn’t help but become critical.

Too flashy in appearance, often attracting attention and trouble, likely to cause future trouble for Ancestor Huang Tian;

The strength wasn’t apparent for now, but presumably wouldn’t be much stronger than Ancestor Huang Tian—perhaps when enemies appear, the ancestor would have to step in to protect him;

Heard that the Ancient Mystic Fox Clan has a proud nature and isn’t considerate, around Ancestor Huang Tian should be someone attentive and caring—

Qing Yao was speaking with Gu Shengyin when suddenly he sensed a gaze fall on him.

Turning back, he saw a beautiful woman in a goose-yellow dress looking at him with a complicated expression.

Qing Yao, with a decent memory, naturally recalled that not long ago he had just rejected this young lady.

And yet, she seemed to say she was a direct line descendant of the Phoenix Family clan.

What was most troublesome was... when the confession occurred, Huang Tian was hiding in the trees observing.

Seeing how things were now, does she still have lingering feelings for him?

Qing Yao turned back, just meeting the amused gaze of Gu Shengyin.

He couldn’t help the headache that arose.

Why did he ever think being admired was something delightful?

How was he supposed to explain this?
