Chapter 697: Chapter 699: The Conference Begins, The Despised Alchemy Tower (Part Two)
Shangguan Feng was stunned for a mont, looking up to gaze at the face in front of her that resembled an Immortal in its exquisite beauty, feeling a deep sense of awe stirring within her again.
It turned out that this man, cold as an Immortal, could smile, and his smile was so moving that, in that instant, it seed as if all the creatures under heaven paled in comparison…
Noticing Shangguan Feng’s awestruck gaze, Murong Qing Chu’s eyes returned to their usual coolness as he glanced indifferently at her.
It was just an indifferent glance, but for so reason, Shangguan Feng felt as if her breath had stopped, as if a hand had viciously seized her heart, rendering her unable to breathe in that instant.
She had thought that such an Immortal-like man would not harm people so easily, yet she had not expected that even an Immortal could injure with that look…
It seed that one really couldn’t judge a person simply by their appearance…
Shangguan Feng’s face turned slightly pale, and she hurriedly lowered her head, only then did the oppressive feeling that had locked onto her slowly dissipate…
“If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”
Murong Qing Chu picked up the teacup, his slender fingers gripping it tightly, his expression cold and detached as an Immortal, his tone indifferent as it swept past everyone’s ears.
“If Young Master Murong needs us, you can summon us at any ti.”
Shangguan Lan gave Shangguan Feng a tug and nodded slightly to Murong Qing Chu before quickly walking out of the hall.
Upon leaving the hall, the oppressive feeling left Shangguan Feng’s heart, and she sighed lightly with relief.
If Ye Wuchen gave her a sense of terror as if coming from hell, then this man exerted invisible pressure that made it difficult for one to trace its source…
“Mother,” Shangguan Feng couldn’t help frowning as she recalled what Shangguan Lan had just said, “I have already told you, my heart already belongs to another man, no matter how good Young Master Murong is, I won’t be interested in him.”
With her discerning eyes, how could she fail to see that Shangguan Lan intended to bring her together with Young Master Murong?
Even in her eyes, Murong Qing Chu was a perfect man, but alas, in her heart, there was only that one person…
Shangguan Feng’s eyes darkened slightly, a hint of ruthless light flickering through them.
No matter what, he could only belong to her in this lifeti! Even if it ant defying the world, she would snatch him from that woman’s grasp!
“Feng’er,” Shangguan Lan’s eyebrows creased slightly, “I know you like soone, but no matter how strong that man is, how could he compare to Young Master Murong? He is the son of that important figure, and his own strength has reached an incredible level. So, if you could marry him, our mother and daughter’s status would be more secure. This ti, I’m asking you as a favor.”
Shangguan Feng snorted coldly, a streak of disdain crossing her heart.
However, her face revealed nothing of the sort as she bit her lip and said with downcast eyes, “Let mother decide.”
For the sake of the Immortal dicine Sect’s power, she would have to temporarily submit to this old woman!
“That’s my good daughter,” Shangguan Lan smiled contentedly. In her view, it was her daughter’s poor attitude that had provoked Murong Qing Chu.
If her daughter lowered her guard and seduced him, which man could resist her allure?
Even that man as cold as an Immortal would be no exception!
“Feng’er, I’m aware of your behavior recently, but now that Young Master Murong is here, there are rules to follow. You must not lay hands on the contestants; otherwise, even I won’t be able to protect you.”
