Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

This is a question that could cost you your life.

On one side is Junior Sister Tianxuan, whom I need to please.

On one side is the lively and adorable junior sister Yaoguang.

Supporting Junior Sister Tianxuan would hurt Junior Sister Yaoguang's feelings and could cause the sect's reputation to plummet.

Supporting Junior Sister Yaoguang would ruin his image as a devoted admirer of Junior Sister Tianxuan, potentially leading to a major mission failure.

No matter which side chooses, one side will be unhappy.

From a utilitarian perspective, choosing Tianxuan Junior Sister would minimize losses.

But only children make choices.

"Is Junior Sister Tianxuan concerned about me?"

Luo Tian skipped the options and grasped the Heavenly Maiden's jade hand, gazing into her eyes with deep affection.

"I didn't expect Junior Sister Tianxuan to care about me so much. If I can get your attention, I'm willing to do anything."

"Senior brother has misunderstood."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan withdrew her jade hand without leaving a trace.

"But when I saw Junior Sister Yaoguang pestering Senior Brother, I remembered that Senior Brother usually pesters me like this, and I felt unhappy."

"So, if I accept Junior Sister Yaoguang's advances, will she change her mind about me?"

"...Senior brother is overthinking it."

Tianxuan Saintess turned her head away and said no more.

Luo Tian smiled and ruffled the hair of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"So, Junior Sister Yaoguang, don't overthink it. How could your senior brother possibly dislike you?"

"I love my senior brother the most!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang clung tightly to Luo Tian's arm.

[You narrowly escaped the disaster! By using humor and changing the subject, you successfully avoided the potentially fatal question.]

Seeing the system message notification, Luo Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

at the same time.

No one noticed that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi subtly raised the corners of her mouth.

……

The Peach Banquet is still ongoing.

As the maids presented the peaches one by one, the banquet reached its climax.

"These are the peaches of immortality."

The Holy Maiden Yaoguang curiously examined the peach in her hand.

The peaches are larger than a fist, with a smooth and moist appearance, exuding a rich spiritual energy.

"Junior Sister has now reached the Nascent Soul stage and is preparing to break through to the Deity Transformation stage. Consuming the Peach of Immortality will increase Junior Sister's success rate by more than 30%."

Luo Tian explained.

The peach tree in the sacred Yaochi is not the original ancestral tree, but rather a branch taken from it.

Although it loses the effects of instantly becoming an immortal and increasing lifespan, it can still enhance a cultivator's cultivation level and assist them in breaking through realms after consumption.

"Then I'll eat it."

The Holy Maiden Yaoguang took a bite of the peach.

The next second, the peach emitted a soft white light and transformed into a ball of spiritual liquid, which entered the mouth of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

The cool, sweet flavor quickly spread through the Saintess of Yaoguang's mouth.

The Holy Maiden Yaoguang couldn't help but touch her cheek, revealing a happy smile.

"hehe……"

Luo Tian smiled and put away his peaches.

"Senior brother, aren't you going to eat?"

Saintess Tianxuan glanced at Luo Tian and couldn't help but speak.

"I already have peaches of immortality. If you intend to give me peaches, there is no need."

"I knew you would refuse, Junior Sister, so I prepared to present the peaches as a gift to the Sect Master when I returned."

Luo Tian's lips curled up slightly.

The peaches ripen only once every sixty years, and the quantity is limited; only the guests attending the banquet can receive one.

The sect leader had never attended the Peach Banquet, so naturally he had never received one.

In any case, the peaches of immortality have little effect on cultivators at or above the Refinement of Void Realm.

It's better to offer it to the sect leader than to eat it ourselves.

It can be used to increase reputation.

It can also win the favor of the sect leader.

"The sect leader is a Mahayana cultivator, so the peaches of immortality are probably no different from ordinary spiritual fruits to her."

"Junior sister is too attached to appearances. A gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is a small gift but carries great meaning. Although the sect leader is a Mahayana cultivator, she is still a woman. As long as the sentiment is there, the sect leader will be happy too."

Luo Tian was confident about this.

He didn't know how many more years he had left in this world.

While there is still time, it is the right thing to do is to repay the sect leader for his kindness in raising us.

……

With peaches and fine wine added to the festive atmosphere, the banquet became even more lively.

When the vigorous young generation discusses metaphysics and philosophy, it often devolves into a debate about who is better.

Those who have had disagreements in the past can take advantage of the alcohol to settle scores and wipe the slate clean.

Even without conflict, one can challenge established cultivators to gain fame.

He could also show off in front of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

This is considered a tradition at the Peach Banquet.

Even the arena had been prepared in advance.

"We fought to a draw back then, so today, in front of all of you, let's settle this once and for all."

"Great! That's exactly what I was thinking too!"

Two young sword cultivators stepped onto the arena and staged a fierce battle.

In an instant, sword light flashed everywhere, dazzling the eyes.

"I recognize this person. He is Gu Changqing from Cuiwei Sword Pavilion. His swordsmanship is so exquisite that it seems he has mastered the true teachings of Cuiwei Sword Pavilion."

"The other young man is Xie Guhong, a rogue cultivator who learned an ancient sword technique from somewhere. Not long ago, he defeated a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm expert in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. His strength should not be underestimated."

The audience below the stage began to comment.

"Senior Brother, who do you think will win?"

While watching the battle intently, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang asked Luo Tian a question.

Luo Tian glanced at them casually and immediately saw through their true nature.

"Although Gu Changqing's swordsmanship is exquisite, he is rigid and lacks flexibility. On the other hand, Xie Guhong's swordsmanship is unique and experienced. After thirty rounds, Xie Guhong will surely win."

As expected, after thirty rounds, Xie Guhong suddenly unleashed a divine sword strike, which Gu Changqing was unable to react to and unfortunately lost.

"Wow, that's amazing! It's exactly as Senior Brother described!"

The Holy Maiden Yaoguang's eyes shone brightly as she gazed up at Luotian with admiration.

"As long as Junior Sister works hard to cultivate and improves her cultivation level, it won't be difficult for her to see who wins or loses."

Luo Tian chuckled.

He was a cultivator at the Refining Void Realm, and he also received the inheritance of the Great Emperor Gouchen, learning the Heavenly Dipper Sword, and his swordsmanship was profound.

Gu Changqing and Xie Guhong's swordsmanship was not up to his standards.

Several more young cultivators then sparred, and the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang continued to beg Luo Tian to guess the outcome.

Luo Tian guessed everything correctly, without missing a single one.

Gradually, more and more experts appeared, and the battles became more and more exciting.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang was completely absorbed in it and could no longer look away.

"..."

Why does my junior sister like violence so much?

Luo Tian was speechless for a moment.

After returning from her training in the Divine Ruins Secret Realm, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang developed a great passion for sparring and dueling.

Therefore, he also prepared many magical treasures for the Holy Maiden Yaoguang to protect herself in case of any accidents.

Unlike the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang.

Luo Tian showed little interest in the sparring and discussions on the stage.

That's too low-level.

The only thing that could pique his interest was Ye Chen, the male protagonist of Destiny.

Unfortunately, after observing for a long time, he still couldn't find Ye Chen in disguise, and even suspected that the other party hadn't come at all.

Luo Tian simply left his seat, intending to wander outside the palace.

"Where are you going, senior brother?"

When Tianxuan Saintess saw Luo Tian get up, she looked puzzled.

"I'm going out for a walk to clear my head, Junior Sister Tianxuan, don't worry."

After saying this, Luo Tian walked out of the hall.

Of course, he couldn't tell the Holy Maiden Tianxuan that he was preparing to search for Ye Chen's whereabouts.

Only by confirming the other party's situation can we make preparations in advance.

"..."

The Holy Maiden of Tianxuan watched Luo Tian leave, her gaze gradually becoming deep and profound.

My senior brother is hiding something from me.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left alone.

She then looked toward the head seat of the banquet.

Before anyone knew it, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had also left her seat.
