180: Ao Jingtian is very dissatisfied

"Senior, Jing Tian appreciates your kind intentions! Jing Tian is the Peak Master of Cloud Palace Dragon Peak. For Cloud Palace, her status is special. Such a major matter can only be decided by the Grand Elder of Cloud Palace. I hope Senior understands!"

Ao Jingtain ultimately declined Chu Tian Qian's recruitment in a roundabout way.

Currently, Cloud Palace belonged to Long Aotian, and Long Aotian was her Junior Brother, the only person she was close to in this world, and also the only man she wanted to marry. She even, at times, cultivated with Long Aotian in the Peak Master's Immortal Cave, not bothering with clothes, already considering herself Long Aotian's woman.

Agree to Chu Tian Qian's recruitment?

She would have to be insane to agree!

Making Long Aotian unhappy was something she absolutely could not do!

"..."

Others, seeing Chu Tian Qian recruit Ao Jingtain, had intended to recruit Long Wudi, Long Bubai, and others depending on the situation. However, upon hearing Ao Jingtain's resolute refusal of Chu Tian Qian's recruitment, their restless hearts instantly quieted down.

Ao Jingtain's attitude explained many things.

The Central Continent Immortal Mansion seemed to be poaching Cloud Palace's talent, but it wasn't truly poaching Cloud Palace's talent. Instead, it was trying to curry favor with Cloud Palace, because Chu Tian Qian said that joining the Central Continent Immortal Mansion did not require leaving Cloud Palace.

What did this signify?

The Central Continent Immortal Mansion did not want to offend Cloud Palace, and even dared not!

As for why they dared not?

The ranking board of the Trial Tower's achievements was enough to explain everything.

Although Ao Jingtain's cultivation was at the Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm and Chu Tian Qian was an Ascension Realm expert, if Chu Tian Qian were to fight Ao Jingtain, Chu Tian Qian would undoubtedly lose.

Not to mention facing Long Aotian, who had not yet exited the tower!

What made the Central Continent Immortal Mansion and other major Cultivate Sects even more afraid to offend Cloud Palace was that Long Aotian, who ascended to the ninety-ninth floor of the Trial Tower, also had a cultivation Realm at the Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm.

How could they dare to offend?

The Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm was already so terrifying. What about Long Aotian after the Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts, after he emerged from the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm's training? How powerful would he be?

Everyone could not imagine.

In short, anyone who dared to offend Cloud Palace or Long Aotian now would absolutely be extremely foolish.

Many people's minds even began to become active. Perhaps, due to the emergence of Long Aotian, this super monster, the Sky Ruins Continent could solve the problem of the unmanifested Ascension Passage, allowing Ascension Realm experts to Ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Thus, Long Aotian was even more someone who could not be offended!

After seeing the Central Continent Immortal Mansion fail to curry favor with the Cloud Palace Team, other major Cultivate Sects, to avoid offending the Cloud Palace Team, also did not go to recruit Long Wudi, Long Bubai, and others.

However, although they did not go to recruit or curry favor, when all the major Cultivate Sects looked at the Cloud Palace Team, their gazes were incredibly fervent. This caused some Genius Disciples of the various major Cultivate Sects to feel a surge of envy and jealousy, and some narrow-minded Genius Disciples even grew to hate the Cloud Palace Team because of this.

"This one, I presume, is Junior Sister Feng Zixian?"

After subtly rejecting Chu Tian Qian's recruitment, Ao Jingtain flashed to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace's camp.

How could Ao Jingtain not understand her only love rival in this life? She dreamed of becoming Long Aotian's woman, so she naturally inquired about Long Aotian's romantic affairs with utmost clarity.

Long Aotian had been lovable since childhood, especially among his female cousins, who wished they could spoil him to the heavens. Additionally, there was Long Aotian's aunt; it was said that Long Aotian grew up on his aunt's milk, and his aunt was Hua Buqi, who was still an unmarried maiden to this day.

However, these were not matters of Long Aotian's romantic affairs. The only thing that could be considered a romantic affair for Long Aotian was a childhood engagement.

That person was Feng Zixian.

The Long Family and the Feng Family were hereditary friends, and both families strongly wished to facilitate this childhood engagement. Especially during the years when Long Aotian could not Cultivate, Long Aotian and his father had visited to annul the engagement, but the Feng Family refused, still wanting to marry Feng Zixian to Long Aotian, which made it even more commendable.

Furthermore.

Feng Zixian herself did not reject this marriage; instead, she had considered herself a Long Family daughter-in-law since childhood. Otherwise, when leaving the Eastern Desolate, she would not have agreed for her father to stay in the Eastern Desolate for ten years, while she alone followed the Grand Elders of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace to the Western Continent.

Now, Long Aotian could Cultivate, and Feng Zixian also knew that Long Aotian could Cultivate. The Martial Arts Talent they both displayed was not weak. Neither the two Families nor the two Sects would oppose this marriage. At this time, Long Aotian was still one year away from adulthood, and although Feng Zixian was three years younger than Long Aotian, she had also reached the age of a woman's coming-of-age after emerging from the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm.

Even without waiting for Feng Zixian's coming-of-age, looking at Long Aotian's astonishing performance now, the Feng Family and even the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace would probably be eager to marry Feng Zixian to Long Aotian immediately. And looking at Feng Zixian's Heavenly Immortal-like beauty, which was no less than her own, Long Aotian might not even refuse.

Anyway!

One would marry sooner or later.

One would take a wife sooner or later!

With both of them having mutual affection, becoming a couple was a foregone conclusion. This left Ao Jingtain feeling helpless, and even, to some extent, a little unwilling.

Why must the man she liked become another's man?

If this Feng Zixian hadn't had the head start, how could she compare to her?

Ao Jingtain was very unconvinced!
