The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Below the Heavenly Sword Sect, at the Golden Moon Inn.

Jin Yue Inn is the largest chain inn in the entire Miao Hua Continent, including both the cultivation world and mortal dwellings. The rooms here are divided into four categories: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

The rooms are equipped with spirit-gathering arrays, and the top-tier rooms are even equipped with fifth-grade spirit-gathering arrays, comparable to, or even better than, the secluded cultivation rooms of most sects.

Almost no sect other than the top ten sects can use a fifth-grade spirit gathering array at any time.

Therefore, many cultivators choose to break through their limits at the Golden Moon Inn.

Of course, the cost is not low... ten high-grade spirit stones per night.

Jin Shengfei took on all of them at once.

He declared, "Today's expenses will all be on me, Young Master Jin!"

Chi Miao: "Male King, you're too much of a scoundrel."

Yu Wuxin also trembled: "This is the Golden Moon Inn! All the geniuses stay in the top-tier rooms... All in all, it would cost several hundred high-grade spirit stones. Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this! You might as well throw it at me and humiliate me!"

Rong Xuanji: "...What a shameless request."

The innkeeper came over, smiling and inviting everyone to serve them the best wine and the best dishes.

The shopkeeper said, "Please don't overthink it. Since they are the young master's guests... we will naturally take good care of them. After all... it's been a long time since we've seen the young master smile so happily."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Jin Shengfei with disbelief.

"Young Master??!"

Jin Shengfei was a little excited. After all this time, was it finally his turn to show off?!

He coughed lightly: "This Golden Moon Inn is also named after the surname Jin, isn't it?"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

I couldn't help but blurt out "fuck".

I knew Jin Shengfei was rich, but I didn't know he was also the young master of Jin Yue Inn!

Chi Miao took a deep breath: "Damn it!"

Jin Shengfei: "?"

He didn't hide it, so he probably didn't make Chi Miao angry.

Chi Miao: "If I'd known you were that rich, I should have ripped off more people when I climbed the Heavenly Ladder!"

Jin Shengfei: "..."

Thank you.

The food at the Golden Moon Inn was unparalleled. For these cultivators who had hardly ever eaten before, the way they wolfed down their food left the innkeeper speechless.

"Young master... your friends have quite the appetites."

Even Jingming eats a balanced diet of meat and vegetables.

His attire and demeanor screamed "I am a monk," yet he ate such lavish meals, giving outsiders quite a visual shock.

Everyone looked at him.

Jingming calmly wiped his mouth: "As the saying goes, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart.'"

Everyone: "..."

Chi Miao: "We've already eaten the meat, how about we have some wine?"

Jingming: "A little is fine."

Everyone: "???"

You actually drank it?!

Can't you be mindful of your identity as a Buddhist disciple?!

However, it must be said that, despite being restrained within the sect on a daily basis, today's unbridled behavior allowed the young men to open up and talk about many things.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chi Miao asked, "Speaking of which, weren't we supposed to be here to see someone? Where is that person?"

Jingming smiled and said, "I estimate we'll arrive soon."

The moment he finished speaking, a bell rang from the doorway, followed by a voice that was neither clearly male nor female: "So you guys tricked me into coming here to indulge in a life of pleasure, only to have yourselves have sex first? Have you no conscience?!"

one look.

The girl was dressed in a simple black and white dress. Her face was beautiful yet revealed a touch of heroism. In her hand, she held a staff covered with Bagua diagrams.

Ying Wuhuo was taken aback, his brows furrowing slightly: "Song Chenxing? No wonder..."

Yu Wuxin immediately froze and tried to run away.

But Jingming had anticipated this, and the Buddhist beads in his hand flew out, growing larger and larger until they bound him.

He was like a fish that had been pulled ashore, constantly thrashing about.

"You beast! Jingming, you beast, let me go!"

Upon seeing this, Song Chenxing, who had just entered, immediately lit up. He put down his staff and quickened his pace to rush towards Yu Wuxin: "Brother Wuxin~~"

He hugged Yu Wuxin and kept kissing her face.

Yu Wuxin was utterly devastated: "Aaaaaaah! Get off me! Get off me now!"

The scene was quite chaotic at one point.

Song Chenxing also took a moment to look around at everyone and couldn't help but chuckle, "So many handsome young men, even Sister Xuanji is here."

His favorite thing is beautiful women!

When her gaze fell upon Chi Miao, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a unique charm!"

He practically put Yu Wuxin down and stood face to face with Chi Miao.

Chi Miao maintained a mysterious smile throughout.

Song Chenxing scrutinized the body with increasing interest: "The faint divine aura emanating from it... and that unique fragrance, and that little face... it looks somewhat familiar?"

He stared—

Then, his complexion gradually and visibly worsened, and his smile froze.

Before he could say "It's you," Chi Miao spoke first: "Long time no see, little apprentice?"

Song Chenxing: "...Damn it."

The others looked on in confusion: "Little apprentice???"

Song Chenxing gritted her teeth: "I know him...of course I know him!!"

……

Who is Song Chenxing?

He was an old acquaintance of Chi Miao.

Back then, before Chi Miao entered Nine Swords Mountain, she encountered a charlatan who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage and came to the mortal realm to steal her fortune-telling business.

This charlatan is Song Chenxing.

At that time, Song Chenxing's biggest competitor was Chi Miao.

Chi Miao used vague and ambiguous language to completely deceive the people in that town.

So he hatched a plan: to find Chi Miao to become his apprentice and learn skills, hoping to find an opportunity to expose Chi Miao as a complete fraudster.

What happened?

As a result, Chi Miao turned the tables on Song Chenxing by pretending to take on a disciple. The two spent some time together, which helped Song Chenxing figure out Chi Miao's deceptive tactics.

Just as he was about to expose Chi Miao as a fraud.

In front of everyone, Chi Miao lifted up his skirt!!!

His cross-dressing identity was exposed on the spot! Chi Miao countered with a move that turned the tables: "What kind of good person would someone who hides their gender? They're probably planning to swindle everyone until they've made a fortune, then revert to their male attire and run away!"

That day.

He was completely disgraced and was driven out of town in a sorry state.

That day became a shadow over his entire life!

After hearing the story, everyone just gave Song Chenxing a pitiful and sympathetic look.

"Meeting Chi Miao was truly your greatest misfortune."

There's not much to say.

Those who try to mess with Chi Miao will ultimately end up being introverted for life.

a shame?

Hehe... This is just the most basic one.

Song Chenxing gritted his teeth: "I've been searching for you for so long... I never expected you to have become a cultivator! Fine! Since that's the case, let's have a fair fight! Let's settle our score!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered his spiritual power to make a move.

Everyone present simultaneously slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

"What do you want to do?!"

Foundation Establishment cultivators, half-step Golden Core cultivators, Golden Core cultivators... everyone in the Prodigy Group displayed their power without reservation, staring at Song Chenxing.

Rong Xuanji's eyes turned cold: "To touch her is to touch me; to touch me is to die."

Song Chenxing: "???"

He stared at Chi Miao with a look of horror.

Wait... what's going on?!

Aren't you his good friends?!

Why do they all look like they're about to attack him?!

Chi Miao smiled, looking like a behind-the-scenes boss, and said gently, "Let's talk this out. Let's not use violence... They're guests, right? Let's all tone it down and not scare them."

She looked at Song Chenxing: "Isn't this my little apprentice who has completed the three kowtows and nine prostrations?"

Song Chenxing: "..."

Can he say no?

How did things turn out this way? How could a mere mortal without even spiritual roots have made these prodigies willingly fight for her?!
