426: Chapter 426 A Woman Who Says One Thing and Means Another

" Th-this, you're just giving it to us like this? "

Seeing Ji Taichang hand over the Cultivation Technique so decisively, the old woman was somewhat stunned.

She had originally assumed that Ji Taichang would only hand over the Cultivation Technique after Holy Heaven Island had acted on his behalf once or twice, but she hadn't expected Ji Taichang to give it away directly!

Was he not afraid that Holy Heaven Island would take the Cultivation Technique and then immediately turn hostile?

Or was it that he had his own backing, and wasn't afraid that Holy Heaven Island would break the agreement?

For a moment, the old woman couldn't quite grasp Ji Taichang's intentions.

" Senior is a dignified Immortal Lord, and Holy Heaven Island is a hegemon in Tianlan Province. I trust in the credibility of both Senior and Holy Heaven Island. "

Ji Taichang smiled slightly: " However, if Holy Heaven Island goes back on its word, I'm afraid this Junior will have to fight Holy Heaven Island to the death. "

Ji Taichang's harmless smile, for some unknown reason, made the old woman's heart skip a beat.

She immediately said: " Rest assured, little friend, my Holy Heaven Island will certainly not go back on its word. "

" That's good. I have one matter now that I need Holy Heaven Island's help with. "

" Please speak, little friend. "

" I would like to request Holy Heaven Island's help in dealing with the Shen Family. "

" The Shen Family... which Shen Family? "

The old woman was somewhat bewildered.

Ji Taichang said slowly: " The Shen Family of Mangdang Mountain in Tianlan Province! "

" The Shen Family of Mangdang Mountain... didn't they get wiped out hundreds of thousands of years ago? " The old woman was startled.

" That is not the case. "

Ji Taichang roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter to the old woman, saying: " I am not asking Holy Heaven Island to annihilate the Shen Family; I only hope that Holy Heaven Island will dispatch experts to station themselves at Benlei Sect, and when the Shen Family comes for revenge, mediate and settle this feud. "

" The Shen Family has actually made a comeback... "

The old woman's expression became more serious: " Rest assured, little friend. When I return, I will inform the Island Revered Master of Holy Heaven Island and the various Elders. Leave this matter to my Holy Heaven Island! "

In her view, even if the Shen Family had made a comeback, it was unlikely they could return to the Peak state of hundreds of thousands of years ago, and their overall strength would certainly not compare to Holy Heaven Island.

The Young Lord of the Shen Family should not fall out with Holy Heaven Island over a concubine who hadn't even married in yet.

The Shen Family should still give this much Face.

" Then I will have to trouble you, Senior. "

Ji Taichang nodded slightly.

After chatting for a few more sentences, both sides bid each other farewell.

" You brat... truly, the younger generation is to be feared! "

Pei Yuening rubbed Ji Taichang's head and couldn't help but sigh: " I didn't expect that when my Benlei Sect faced a crisis, we would still have to rely on your protection. "

" Oh right, I'm returning this Magic Treasure to you. "

Pei Yuening handed over the bronze ancient palace with some reluctance.

" My cultivation is too low, I can't unleash its power at all. Just take it, Revered Master. Also, please accept this Nine Heavens Thunder Technique as well. "

Ji Taichang smiled slightly and gifted both the Cultivation Technique and the bronze ancient palace to Pei Yuening.

Pei Yuening's heart trembled.

Although she really wanted this Magic Treasure, she shook her head firmly: " As your Revered Master, how can I take things from my Disciple? You have extraordinary talent; it won't be long before your cultivation surpasses mine, so you should keep it... "

Ji Taichang winked at her and smiled: " Revered Master, just take it. Don't forget, I am a Disciple of an Immortal Venerable Old Ancestor from the Taixu Immortal Sect. After I return to the Taixu Immortal Sect in the future, I certainly won't be lacking Magic Treasures of this level. "

After hearing this, for some unknown reason, Pei Yuening felt a sense of loss and discomfort in her heart.

Although she knew that Ji Taichang would definitely not stay at Benlei Sect forever, just thinking about it made her feel inexplicably reluctant to let him go.

After some back-and-forth, Ji Taichang insisted on gifting the bronze ancient palace to Pei Yuening.

Unable to refuse, Pei Yuening accepted it with tears in her eyes.

[ Ding! Pei Yuening's favorability has increased by 10 points. You can obtain 10% of the Moon Eclipse Evil Monarch's cultivation/ability. Please choose. ]

[ Pei Yuening's favorability: 68 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100) ]

Ji Taichang gifting such a precious treasure to her caused a warm current to surge in Pei Yuening's heart; she was deeply moved!

She took a deep breath, her Face returning to a smiling expression, and pinched Ji Taichang's cheeks: " You gifted me such a supreme treasure, offered an Immortal Venerable-level Cultivation Technique, and brought in Holy Heaven Island as a powerful external aid. Tell me, how do you want your Revered Master to reward you? "

Ji Taichang licked his lips: " Can any reward work? "

" Of course, you are a great hero of the Benlei Sect! "

" Then I want you, Revered Master! " Ji Taichang blurted out.

The smile on Pei Yuening's Face stiffened, and she felt as if her heartbeat had stopped for an instant.

If the intimate contact between her and Ji Taichang before had just been an "accident," then this sentence from Ji Taichang was a blatant confession, straight from the heart!

Especially with Ji Taichang's fiery and direct gaze staring straight into her eyes, and then slowly moving downwards, fixating on that proud and towering bosom...

" You brat... are you looking to die! "

" You want to 'ride' your Revered Master and betray your ancestors, right! "

Pei Yuening's cold and beautiful Face flushed with a shade of crimson, both shy and angry, and she reached out and pinched Ji Taichang's waist fiercely.

" I am your Revered Master! "

" I know you are young and vigorous, in the prime of your youth, but you, you cannot have those kinds of thoughts about me! "

Ji Taichang grabbed Pei Yuening's small hand in return, looking at her affectionately: " Revered Master has only been cultivating for a short five hundred years or so. Looking at the Immortal Realm, you are completely just a young girl; the age gap between you and me is not that big. "

" If you feel that it is inappropriate between Revered Master and Disciple, we can also sever our Revered Master-Disciple relationship... "

" You... you are not allowed to say anything more! "

Pei Yuening's eyes widened slightly, her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened, and she immediately reached out to cover Ji Taichang's mouth!

But in her mind, another thought uncontrollably emerged.

Anyway, Ji Taichang already has an Immortal Venerable Revered Master, and sooner or later he will return to the Taixu Immortal Sect; Benlei Sect is just a stopover for him.

If the Revered Master-Disciple relationship were truly severed, then wouldn't it be justifiable for her to be with Ji Taichang?

An Immortal's Lifespan is long; an age gap of four or five hundred years is no different from a one or two-year gap for Mortals.

[ Ding! Pei Yuening's favorability has increased by 2 points. You can obtain 10% of the Moon Eclipse Evil Monarch's cultivation/ability. Please choose. ]

[ Pei Yuening's favorability: 70 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100) ]

" Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!! Pei Yuening, oh Pei Yuening, what, what exactly are you thinking about! "

" Once a Revered Master, always a mother! "

" He is still young and ignorant, but are you ignorant too! "

" How can you have such a shameless thought! "

" Ahhh... "

Pei Yuening quickly came back to her senses, cursing herself internally, her Face becoming even more flushed.

" This matter, this matter, do not mention it again! "

She forcibly suppressed some indescribable thoughts in her heart, and gave Ji Taichang a shy and coquettish glare: " Otherwise, otherwise I... "

Pei Yuening stopped halfway, speechless.

Because she realized she didn't seem to have any way to punish Ji Taichang.

" Otherwise I will ignore you! "

Pei Yuening stomped her feet, turned around, and walked forward, not wanting Ji Taichang to see the blush on her Face.

Ji Taichang chuckled.

The Revered Master who was always cold and aloof, who would have thought she would be so cute when shy!

And even though she said no with her mouth, her favorability was actually rising rapidly!

Truly a woman who says one thing but means another...
