Chapter 2380: The Cold Swordsman and His Innate Sword Spirit 23
The next day.
As the three of them stepped out of the heavy door of the library, they saw Shi Yan running towards them, panting, his honest face full of anxiety.
"Second Senior Brother! Master Sword Spirit! Something bad has happened! Junior Master... Liu Qingcheng brought that little demon back to Wulai Peak, saying that he wants to raise him personally!"
"Master...he actually agreed!"
Jin Chen heard this and stroked his chin, "... Tsk. Tell me, does old man Ling Xu treat that little devil as his grandson?"
"I'd rather keep him as my love rival."
Everyone: "..."
Thinking about Master Lingxu's strange preference for Liu Qingcheng, his stomach churned.
Xing Yan's face turned green: "Master Jian Ling, please stop talking! It's too... too disgusting!"
Shi Yan even covered his ears in a foolish manner.
Lan Yi forced herself to suppress the feeling of nausea, and said worriedly, "What should we do now? Master and Senior Brother are simply bewitched by Liu Qingcheng."
Everyone's eyes turned to Xie Qingmo.
Xie Qingmo turned his head slightly, and his cold eyes fell on Jinchen's face beside him.
Jinchen received Xie Qingmo's gaze, feeling confident and a little proud.
"Why are you panicking? I have a solution."
He waved his hand, and several people came closer. Jinchen lowered his voice and quickly and clearly stated his plan.
Finally, Jinchen raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone, "How is it?"
Xing Yan and the other two all cast subtle glances at Xie Qingmo.
Xie Qingmo: “…”
"It's good." He could only suppress his embarrassment and encourage Jinchen.

Three days later, outside the sect leader’s main hall.
The door of the solemn and magnificent main hall was closed, and a regular meeting of the sect’s masters was taking place inside the hall.
Outside the hall, Xie Qingmo and others appeared quietly.
Jin Chen lowered his head and moved closer to Xie Qingmo, "Are you ready, my Lord Sword Master?"
Xie Qingmo nodded, but upon closer inspection, his ears seemed to be slightly red.
Xing Yan and Shi Yan clasped their fists towards Xie Qingmo, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother!"
Lan Yi took out a small rouge box from her sleeve, dipped her fingertips into the bright red rouge, and applied a few just-right touches of rouge under Xie Qingmo's slightly pale eyelids, as if smudged due to weakness, making him look even more haggard and weak.
"Okay, now it's more like it."
Jinchen looked at Xie Qingmo, the sickly beauty, and picked him up sideways.
"Don't move." Jin Chen lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "If you can't pretend to faint, just sleep in my arms for a while, and I'll make sure it looks real."
Xie Qingmo was caught off guard and picked up sideways, and his cheeks suddenly felt hot.
He had never been so intimate with anyone in such a public place.
Feeling the warmth from Jinchen's chest, Xie Qingmo felt a little embarrassed. He could only bury his hot face deeply into Jinchen's neck, and urged him softly with a bit of embarrassment.
“…Hurry up.”
"Okay, I know, Xie Qingmo, don't act like a spoiled child."
"...?"
Xie Qingmo didn't want to talk to Jinchen anymore.
The disciple guarding the gate saw that it was the ancient sword spirit coming with great momentum and did not try to stop it.
Jinchen held the "weak and unconscious" Xie Qingmo in his arms, raised his foot, and kicked the door without any hesitation.
boom! ! !
The main hall's door, which symbolized the sect's majesty, was kicked open by him.
The huge noise made the hall buzz.
The elders and masters in the hall: ???
Everyone turned around in shock, their eyes focused on the door.
When Master Lingxu saw Xie Qingmo, who was unconscious and breathing weakly in Jinchen's arms, he stood up immediately in shock and cried out in a choked voice: "Qingmo! What happened to him?"
The clan leader's expression also changed, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Jinchen held Xie Qingmo in his arms and strode into the hall with big strides. His eyes were like knives, stabbing at Master Lingxu.
"You stinky old man, you made my sword master faint!"
Every word he spoke was sonorous and full of anger.
Lingxu Zhenren was stunned by this sudden accusation, "How could I harm Qingmo!"
He had no idea what he had done to make his apprentice so angry.
Jin Chen did not give Master Lingxu a chance to explain himself, and suddenly turned to the Sect Master with an accusatory tone.
"Ling Xu indulged Liu Qingcheng and openly raised the remnants of the demon clan on Wulai Peak. My sword master, thinking of the friendship between fellow disciples and the relationship between master and disciple, tried hard to dissuade him."
"But not only did my dissuasion fail, I was ignored and excluded, and lost all trust. Now, Liu Qingcheng attacked me, and I was not aware of his vicious move and fainted."
"Master, please take care of this matter."
Everyone: !!!
Raise demons! Attack fellow disciples!
This is a serious crime that shakes the foundation of the sect and violates the iron law of the cultivation world.
Eyes of shock and disbelief were cast towards Master Lingxu.
"Ling Xu! Are you crazy?"
"How can the demons be allowed in the sect?"
"You are confused!"
When Master Lingxu was pointed at by his fellow disciples, his face turned pale and blue, and he felt anxious and angry.
"You don't understand. Qingcheng... he has a great affinity with the immortals. That demon kid is no longer a threat. Instead of killing him, it's better to leave him to Qingcheng... to use for cultivation. This will turn hostility into peace, and it's a merit."
He tried to defend himself, but he didn't know that what he said was even more ridiculous.
Jinchen gasped exaggeratedly and tightened his arms around Xie Qingmo.
"Wow, listen to me, you bad old man, you are more demonic than the demons. You still keep it for cultivation. I think you have been drugged by Liu Qingcheng and even forgot the rules of your ancestors."
Jin Chen continued to add effects, "My sword master Qing Mo was not valued before, and now there are only a few people who trust him. There is no one behind him except me."
Hearing this, Xie Qingmo almost couldn't help but pinch Jinchen's shoulder, telling him to hold back and stop talking nonsense.
Jin Chen silently pinched Xie Qingmo's waist, and said in his mind: "Xie Qingmo, be obedient and don't twist your body."
Xie Qingmo: “…”
I can't continue acting.
At this moment, Xie Qingmo in Jinchen's arms seemed to be awakened by the fierce quarrel.
His long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes with just the right amount of weakness and confusion, and coughed lightly.
The clan leader immediately stepped forward, his tone full of concern and comfort, "Qing Mo! You're awake, how do you feel? Don't move!"
Several other peak masters also gathered around and spoke earnestly.
"Junior Brother Qing Mo, you have been wronged! Come to my Danxia Peak, and I will let you rest in peace!"
However, this is not what Jinchen wanted.
He hugged Xie Qingmo and interrupted everyone's solicitation, "No!"
"Why should we change? Xie Qingmo has me, so why can't he occupy a peak all to himself? Is it possible that the Tianyan Sect is so big that it can't accommodate a genius swordsman who is about to reach the Nascent Soul stage and a quiet place for him to protect his sword spirit?"
This statement is extremely overbearing, yet... reasonable.
The clan leader weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Establishing an independent peak could not only appease Xie Qingmo, but also completely separate him from the troubles of Wulai Peak, and also demonstrate the sect's emphasis on genius.
"That's not impossible..." The Sect Master pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and made the final decision.
"Qing Mo is protected by a sword spirit, and he really needs a quiet place to practice. I agree to this! Immediately allocate Tianshan Peak to Qing Mo, and all resources will be provided according to the regulations of the peak master!"
Plan passes.
When Xie Qingmo finally left the main hall, he looked at the distraught Ling Xu Zhenren, with complex emotions in his cold eyes, and whispered: "Master... take care of yourself. Don't... trust Liu Qingcheng too much."
Having said this, he never looked back.
