#6917 - Murong Wujie
"Young Master Murong Zai, my husband and I have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now. Farewell!"
Seeing Murong Zai in such a state, Tantai Jie cupped her hands in a salute to him before leaving with Bai Yi Chu Jianqiu.
Watching Tantai Jie's departing figure, Murong Zai seemed somewhat lost in thought.
"Brother Zai, Immortal Tantai has already gone far away. What are you still looking at?"
Seeing Murong Zai like this, the beautiful young woman beside him tugged at his sleeve, somewhat displeased.
This beautiful young woman, named Murong Shan, was also a core disciple of the Murong family.
Although she was not one of the Murong Five Heroes, she was also an extremely outstanding martial arts prodigy of the Murong family.
In her heart, she had always liked Murong Zai, but unfortunately, Murong Zai was infatuated with Tantai Jie and had no thoughts for her.
Hearing Murong Shan's words, Murong Zai finally came back to his senses.
"Alas, what's so good about that kid! A fairy-like figure like Miss Tantai would actually choose such a useless nobody as her Dao companion. It's truly regrettable!"
Murong Zai sighed at length.
His face was filled with heartache and regret.
If Tantai Jie had ultimately become Dao companions with the Eldest Brother of the Six Sages of Listening Rain, he would still have been very sad, but not to the point of such heartache and suffering.
After all, the Eldest Brother of the Six Sages of Listening Rain was also an extraordinary figure.
Although he, Murong Zai, was also a peerless martial arts prodigy, compared to that Eldest Brother of the Six Sages of Listening Rain, there was still a considerable gap.
But unexpectedly, Tantai Jie ultimately chose such a mere Seventh Tribulation Realm waste as her Dao companion, which was truly unacceptable!
Moreover, the key was that the kid wasn't even that good-looking!
No cultivation, no background, no looks.
Such a mediocre nobody actually managed to win the beauty's heart and obtain the goddess of countless people's dreams. Anyone would sigh with regret over this matter, let alone a pursuer like Murong Zai, who was deeply in love with Tantai Jie.
"Brother Zai, why are you so obsessed with Tantai Jie?" Murong Shan pouted, "Our Murong family's Sister Qin is no worse than Tantai Jie. Why bother seeking far and wide when what you want is near? Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to pursue Sister Qin!"
Hearing Murong Shan's words, Murong Zai hurriedly covered her mouth.
He quickly looked around, his face extremely nervous.
"Brother Zai, what are you doing?"
Murong Shan slapped his hand away, looking displeased.
"Sister Shan, are you deliberately trying to harm me? How can you say such things!"
Murong Zai looked at her, feeling helpless.
"Hmph, am I wrong? Our Sister Qin is no worse than Tantai Jie! Tantai Jie is one of the Ten Beauties of the Southern Heaven Domain, and our Sister Qin is also one of the Ten Beauties of the Southern Heaven Domain! Moreover, our Sister Qin's martial arts talent is no worse than Tantai Jie's! Whether it's looks, talent, or strength, our Sister Qin is no less inferior to Tantai Jie!"
Murong Shan snorted.
"Sister Shan, I didn't say that Senior Sister Murong Qin is worse than Immortal Tantai. They are both extraordinary martial arts prodigies!"
Murong Zai said helplessly.
The Sister Qin that Murong Shan spoke of was Murong Qin, ranked second among the Murong Five Heroes of the Murong family.
Although Murong Qin was ranked second among the Murong Five Heroes, her talent and strength were in no way inferior to Murong Ji, the leader of the Murong Five Heroes. It could be said that she was the most outstanding martial arts prodigy of the younger generation of the Murong family.
Moreover, Murong Qin was also a stunningly beautiful woman, one of the Ten Beauties of the Southern Heaven Domain.
In terms of beauty, Murong Qin was indeed no less beautiful than Tantai Jie.
Even before Tantai Jie broke through to the Seventh Level of the Undying Realm, Murong Qin was stronger than Tantai Jie.
Among the younger generation of the Southern Heaven Domain, Murong Qin's reputation was only greater than Tantai Jie's.
Such an unparalleled figure was naturally the center of attention in the Southern Heaven Domain.
However, Murong Zai dared to pursue Tantai Jie, but he did not dare to have any thoughts about Murong Qin.
Tantai Jie was gentle and amiable, treating people kindly. Even if you offended her, there would be no serious consequences.
But Murong Qin was different. Murong Qin had a cold personality, was decisive in killing, and could even be said to be a bit ruthless.
Few of those who dared to offend her had a good ending.
Those young talents who pursued her were either crippled or disabled, and in severe cases, they even lost their lives.
Murong Qin was a famous ice beauty in the Southern Heaven Domain, and also a well-known female Rakshasa.
When others saw her, they avoided her for fear of getting too close and dying.
If one was not careful and made her unhappy, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even Murong Ji, the leader of the Murong Five Heroes, such an unparalleled genius, did not dare to pursue this crazy woman, let alone him, Murong Zai.
"Brother Zai, why are you so afraid of Sister Qin? Is Sister Qin that scary?"
Murong Shan asked with a smile.
"My dear aunt, her good attitude towards you doesn't mean that her attitude towards everyone is the same!" Murong Zai pleaded, "Aunt, I beg you, don't harm me!"
"Brother Zai, I'm trying to help you with good intentions, but you don't appreciate it and say such things. It's really heartbreaking!"
Murong Shan pouted.
"Okay, okay, okay, Sister Shan is kind-hearted, and I don't recognize good intentions and misunderstood Sister Shan." Murong Zai said repeatedly, feeling overwhelmed, "It's just that, Sister Shan, in the future, let's not mention this matter again. I only have respect for Senior Sister Murong Qin and absolutely no other intentions. Sister Shan, please don't talk nonsense about it to Senior Sister Murong Qin!"
Murong Qin had a cold attitude towards everyone, but only towards Murong Shan was her attitude different.
Murong Qin was originally a remote branch of the Murong family and was not valued at all.
It was only after she showed extremely outstanding talent that she was valued by the Murong family.
When Murong Qin was a child, Murong Shan's parents had done her a great favor.
Therefore, after Murong Qin rose to prominence, she always remembered this kindness.
Her attitude towards Murong Shan was also particularly gentle.
