Chapter 593 Goodbye Han Yue Han Xue

As soon as Hua Jin finished speaking, under the gilded curtain on the east side of the square, a man who was originally leaning on a soft pillow with his blue shirt half open suddenly opened his narrow eyes.

He tapped the gilded wine cup on his knees with his fingertips, and tiny ripples appeared in the amber wine. As his mind moved, the space around him suddenly wrinkled like the surface of water. As the green shadow passed by, the morning dew that had not yet fallen from the magnolia branches in front of the steps condensed in mid-air. After a moment, his figure was standing beside Hua Jin with his hands behind his back.

The man stood lazily, gently waving a paper fan with a picture of a beautiful woman holding a half-covered silk fan in his hand. The bamboo fiber of the Xiangfei fan shone with a warm luster in the sunlight.

He was as tall as a bamboo, with his black hair tied loosely behind his head. His hair swayed slightly with his movements, making his brow bones look even more heroic against his pale skin.

On that handsome face, there were fine traces like star sand at the slightly raised corners of the eyes, and the curve of the corners of the lips was careless. Only the blood-red mole on the center of the eyebrows was dazzling, just like coagulated blood dripping on mutton-fat white jade, making the evil aura lingering around the body even more intense, making people dare not look directly at it, but also difficult to look away.

This sudden movement almost instantly caught the attention of the whole audience. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and when they saw the man's face clearly, they almost instantly recognized his identity. The audience immediately heard low shouts one after another. It was the partner that Hua Jin had just mentioned, the Demon Flower Evil Lord of the Tianming Sect!

“It turns out to be the Demon Flower Evil Lord from the Tianming Sect. I heard earlier that the Acting Sect Master of the Hua Sect had close contacts with him, but I didn’t expect that he would show up at the Hua Sect’s Sect Master handover ceremony as his partner today…” The gray-clothed old man sitting in the front row twirled his beard and whispered, with shock in his turbid eyes.

The old man in green robes beside him followed his gaze and looked back and forth between Hua Jin and Demon Flower Evil Lord who were standing side by side:

"Isn't it? These two people have great influence in Hua Zong and Tian Ming Zong. Looking at their relationship now, it seems that the relationship between Tian Ming Zong and Hua Zong will become closer in the future..."

At the same time, discussions began to arise at the table.

Most people said that with the help of the Demon Flower Evil Lord, Hua Jin would be able to firmly sit on the position of the sect leader today. The Evil Lord's strength has reached six-star Dou Zun, and although Hua Jin is not as good as the former, he himself has the cultivation of four-star Dou Zun. With the two of them joining forces, it would be difficult to find an opponent even in Zhongzhou.

Some people even whispered that in recent years, the Hua Sect has not produced any outstanding younger generation who can compete with Hua Jin, and the so-called battle for the sect leader is probably just a formality.

At the high table where Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan were, Mu Qingluan looked at the movement in the center of the square, gently crushed half a piece of Begonia cake with her fingertips, suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Ling beside her, raised the corner of her eyes slightly, and said:
"Brother, it seems that the position of the Hua Sect's leader will be firmly held by the Hua Sect's acting leader Hua Jin. A six-star Dou Zun with a four-star Dou Zun, plus the evil cultivation methods of the Tianming Sect, I'm afraid it will be hard to find an opponent..."

At this point, Mu Qingluan paused for a moment, but as if she remembered something, she suddenly chuckled, her fingertips rolled over the winding flower pattern on the table, and said in a slightly strange tone,
"However, the Hua Sect's 'partners' rule is really hard to understand. Could it be that a Hua Sect ancestor was trapped in love a hundred years ago and set such a confusing competition rule?"

"The sect has its own heritage. As outsiders, we should not comment too much." Xiao Ling tapped the teacup with his fingertips and expressed his objective opinion on Mu Qingluan's words. "With the strength of these two people, it shouldn't be a big problem for them to take over the position of the leader of the Hua Sect."

"However, if such rules are allowed to continue, it will indeed easily lead to disasters and affect the cohesion of the sect. Anyway, our Xingyun Pavilion will naturally not make such rules."

Just as Xiao Ling's voice had not yet fallen, two familiar auras suddenly crashed into his range of consciousness, causing tiny ripples like a stone thrown into a deep pool.

The force of his fingertips gripping the cup paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he retracted the edge in an instant. After a moment, the corners of his lips were raised up again with that hint of indifference and casualness.

Mu Qingluan had been closely watching her senior brother's expression. Seeing this, she immediately put down the teacup, gently tugged at Xiao Ling's sleeve with her fingertips, and said with a slightly raised eyebrow: "Senior brother, you suddenly look like this, have you noticed something strange?"

Xiao Ling tapped the teacup with his fingertips, suddenly chuckled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just noticed some interesting movements."

He looked up at the rolling clouds, a nostalgic look flashing in his eyes, "Next, I think there will be some unexpected changes. My muscles and bones that have not been moved for a long time are a little itchy, and it's time to move them around."

……

On the gilded podium next to the bluestone platform, a white-haired elder of the Hua Sect raised his hand and lightly knocked on the bronze bell with cloud pattern.

The long bell sound spread out like ripples, and golden spells appeared on the bronze bell body. The sound waves wrapped in a faint wood fragrance swept across the sea of ​​flowers and reached every corner of the Flower Sect.

The elder stood with her hands behind her back. The silver-threaded flower pattern on her robe flickered with the surging fighting spirit. Her fingertips lightly brushed the bell, and her slightly hoarse voice, wrapped in the pressure of the Dou Zun, burst out: "The time has come, the competition for the position of the sect leader begins!"

When the sound of the bell slowly faded away, Hua Jin in the square narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold arc appeared at the corners of his lips. He suddenly spoke in a voice with a fighting spirit at the end: "The time has come..."

The pink fighting spirit around her suddenly surged, and the jade hairpin in her hair glowed faintly. "If anyone wants to compete with me for the position of the sect leader, then show up and compete. Don't wait for me to invite someone in person, because then there will be no chance."

As Hua Jin's shout fell, a sound of breaking wind was heard in the air, and two white figures came lightly and landed lightly on the square side by side.

Two graceful figures landed lightly on the square, and instantly, all eyes in the place were fixed on them. When they saw their faces clearly, many people's eyes were filled with amazement.

The woman on the left has silver hair like a waterfall, loosely tied up with an ice silk rope. The ends of her hair hang down to her waist and have a pearl-like luster.

Her eyebrows were as sharp as blades, the tails of her eyes were slightly upturned, her pupils were of extremely light color, and her lips were extremely light in color. Her whole person exuded a cold and indifferent air that kept people at a distance.

The woman on the right also has long silver hair, but it is braided into fine pigtails that hang down on her shoulders, with two half-bloomed magnolia flowers pinned in her hair.

Her skin color is slightly warmer than the woman on the left, the corners of her eyes are slightly rounded, and the corners of her lips, which originally had a hint of smile, are now tightly pursed into a straight line, with a firm look on her gentle face.

However, what is even more striking is the subtle similarities in the two women's faces. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that these two are clearly a pair of sisters.

However, apart from the members of the Hua Sect, the representatives of various forces in Zhongzhou who were attending the ceremony were all looking at each other in bewilderment.

The two women had such outstanding faces, but everyone had never seen them before today, and they felt they were strange and unfamiliar.

To be able to compete for the title of Sect Master at such a young age, he must be extremely talented. He should have been famous in Zhongzhou long ago. Why is he so unknown? Could he be a secret genius hidden by the Hua Sect for many years?
……

Sitting at the table, Mu Qingluan saw Xiao Ling standing up. She frowned slightly and tapped the teacup heavily with her fingertips: "Brother, you are staring at me like this. Could it be that your soul has been seduced away by those sisters?"

There was a deliberate coldness in her tone, and when the corners of her eyes raised, the candlelight reflected in the teacup flickered.

As soon as Mu Qingluan finished speaking, Xiao Ling did not move his eyes away at all, still staring straight at the two beautiful figures in the square, as if he was nailed to the spot. He murmured, with a rare sigh in his voice: "What do you know? These two girls are old acquaintances of your senior brother. I will find an opportunity to take you to get to know each other properly later."

He suddenly chuckled, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his chin, "Fortunately, I was invited to Hua Zong this time. If I really missed it, I would really be guilty..."

"An acquaintance of senior brother? Why have I never heard that you have any acquaintances in Hua Sect? I didn't hear you mention it on the way here. Could it be that you made it up on the spot?" Mu Qingluan raised her eyebrows and stared at Xiao Ling. The corners of her mouth that were originally upturned finally flattened a little, but she still held her arms and refused to give up.

"I only know that the two of them should have joined the Flower Sect before. As for the others, I am not too sure."

Xiao Ling's eyes showed some reminiscence, and he said:

"However, after seeing them today, I can see that they have changed a lot since we first parted. Now they are strong people who can stand on their own. I'm afraid they may not be unable to take the position of the leader of the Flower Sect."

Xiao Ling recognized the two graceful figures in white on the square at a glance. They were the sisters Han Xue and Han Yue, whom he had not seen for several years.

When Xiao Ling learned that the two women were planning to join Hua Sect, he used his own means to plant a hint in their minds that if they met a disabled old woman in the back mountain of Hua Sect, they would feel strong sympathy for her and take care of her with all their heart.

The reason why Xiao Ling did this was that he hoped that Han Xue and Han Yue could get the great opportunity that Yun Yun originally obtained in the original novel.

After all, he knew clearly that the disabled old woman in Hua Sect was the sect leader, Granny Hua.

If her powerful cultivation could be passed on to the two sisters Han Xue and Han Yue, it would naturally be of great benefit to their cultivation.

Of course, Xiao Ling did not expect the two girls to really win the favor of Grandma Hua at the time, and he did not tell the two girls the true identity of Grandma Hua.

After all, if the two women knew in advance that the other was the leader of the Hua Sect, and thus took care of him with a purpose, with Granny Hua's experience and sophistication, she would naturally be able to easily detect this deliberateness.

Even if Xiao Ling only let the two women take care of the old woman and did not reveal her identity as the sect leader, as long as the two women had the idea of ​​"being prepared and knowing everything in advance", they would eventually be discovered by Grandma Hua.

In the eyes of this old man who has experienced the world, such behavior will only be regarded as impure intentions. How could he entrust the inheritance to them?

Therefore, Xiao Ling did not make too many arrangements in this regard at that time. He just gave some guidance in secret and let the two women follow their inner compassion to take care of the old man.

As for whether he could eventually gain Grandma Hua's approval and obtain the inheritance, he also understood that it could not be forced and everything depended on the depth of fate.

However, it now seems that the hint that Xiao Ling had planted before did work.

The peak four-star Dou Zun aura surging from the two women at this moment was definitely not fake. With their cultivation talents, even with the help of the many resources left by Xiao Ling, it would be impossible for them to achieve such an astonishing leap in cultivation in just a few years.

This scene naturally made Xiao Ling think of Granny Hua at the first time. He was also certain in his heart that the two women must have inherited Granny Hua's legacy, which is why they had such earth-shaking changes in just a few years.

……

On the bluestone square, as soon as the sisters Han Yue and Han Xue landed, their eyes met with Hua Jin and Yaohua Xiejun who were not far away. The sharpness of confrontation was faintly revealed when their eyes met.

The Demon Flower Evil King beside Hua Jin had a nonchalant look at first, but when his eyes met the two women in white dresses opposite him, a burning look suddenly ignited in his eyes.

For him who loves beauty so much, such a beautiful woman is like a deadly poison that makes him unable to take his eyes off her in an instant.

The eyes of the world suddenly focused on the sisters Han Yue and Han Xue. Hua Jin's hands clenched white, and deep jealousy surged in her eyes.

She sneered, her tone full of resentment: "I thought you two didn't dare to come today. Why don't you just hand over the sect leader token? You insisted on going against me and ended up like this. The position of the Hua Sect leader should have belonged to me, Hua Jin!"

"We sisters have received the kindness of Granny Hua, so we should obey her instructions. We will never let someone with such impure intentions like you take away the position of the leader of the Hua Sect. Otherwise, you will only bring the Hua Sect into an irreparable situation."

Han Yue frowned slightly and looked at the aggressive Hua Jin with a cold tone. Before she finished speaking, her eyes swept across the demon flower evil king beside Hua Jin with deep meaning, and there was a sharp edge in the tail of her voice.

"I was adopted by the Hua Sect when I was young, and grew up in the Hua Sect. I have always cared about the sect, so how could I have any impure thoughts? You two outsiders who have luckily entered the sect, stop spitting bloody words at me here!"

Hua Jin's face flushed red instantly. Han Yue's words seemed to have touched the scar in her heart, making her instantly timid. While she was shouting at him, her fingertips dug deeply into her palm due to excessive force.

Then, Hua Jin caught a glimpse of the Demon Flower Evil Lord staring at the Han Yue sisters intently, and anger rose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Demon! Next, you will attack together with me!"

"You two have each inherited half of the old sect master's fighting spirit, so your strength is not inferior to mine." Hua Jin turned his cold eyes to Han Yue and Han Xue and sneered.

"You are all familiar with the rules of the Flower Sect. If you have a partner, you can attack together. I am not making trouble. This is the rule of the sect. The position of the leader of the Flower Sect can only be held by one of you two. So..."

The corners of her mouth pulled up a provocative arc, "Are you going to fight alone, or do you want to call your partner to join you?"

Hearing Hua Jin's words, many Hua Sect elders frowned slightly, and many guests present couldn't help but show indignation on their faces.

However, this is the Hua Sect's home ground, and although everyone is dissatisfied, no one dares to speak out openly.

Everyone knows about the Hua Sect's rule that "partners can join the war together". Although most people are puzzled by this and even think it is unfair, since it is an iron rule set by the sect's ancestors, it can only be enforced within the Hua Sect's territory.

Now, it all depends on how the two sisters deal with this situation. (End of this chapter)
