Chapter 168 I want to challenge you!
The head of Yihai Pavilion gave him a strange look and said, "This is Li Qingqing, the head of Lingqin Peak. Her cultivation level is at the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."
Mu Qianlan was stunned for a moment. The words of the Yihai Pavilion Master were like a sword, stabbing directly into his heart.
She was not one of the women her father invited to Guiyin Island to choose a wife for him in disguise!
For some reason, he felt a little lost!
You've already reached the Divine Transformation Realm, why do you look so small?
"Young Master Mu, nice to meet you! I am the new master of Lingqin Peak." Li Qingqing said with a faint smile.
"Sorry, I made a mistake." Mu Qianlan felt a little embarrassed.
The reason he made the mistake was that he saw her standing next to the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion, saying something from time to time, and the Pavilion Master looked at her with a kind and friendly expression as if he was looking at a junior, so he thought they were master and disciple.
"It's okay. You lead the way!" The head of Yihai Pavilion spoke for Li Qingqing and changed the subject.
As the leader of Yi Hai Pavilion, he was best at seeing through the thoughts deep in the sea of consciousness of others. Mu Qianlan was usually very cold and arrogant, so he knew exactly what Mu Qianlan was thinking just now.
"Yes. Please come this way!" Mu Qianlan quickly made a gesture of invitation.
After walking across the suspension bridge and stepping onto Guiyin Island, a fresh and pleasant peach fragrance will hit you in the face, which is very intoxicating.
Li Qingqing couldn't help but look at the gorgeous peach blossoms in full bloom around her.
As she walked and looked, she found that the peach blossoms on a tree not far away had all fallen. A breeze blew, and the peach blossoms automatically pollinated, and in the blink of an eye, a tree of magical peaches grew.
Mu Qianlan followed her gaze and couldn't help but explain, "These spiritual peaches are all growing in the Guiyin formation. They will take turns blooming and bearing fruit, but it will take three to five days for the spiritual peaches to mature."
"So that's how it is." Li Qingqing withdrew her slightly surprised gaze.
Looking at Mu Qianlan, who was walking side by side with her just one step away, she asked tentatively, "You people from Guiyin Island are not allowed to leave Guiyin Island, and you will not join other sects?"
Just as Mu Qianlan was about to speak, the head of Yihai Pavilion had already answered for him.
"This kid has top-grade ice spirit roots. His father kept him by his side and taught him personally. However, he's eaten a lot of good things, but his cultivation is not as good as expected. This time, his father plans to let him get married first, hoping that he can have a child with good talent."
Mu Qianlan suddenly became embarrassed, "I'm not that bad, okay?"
At his age, his cultivation in the early Nascent Soul stage is not top-notch, but he really shouldn't end up with unsatisfactory cultivation and poor talent!
He felt that his father and the Pavilion Master had too high expectations of him.
The head of Yihai Pavilion chuckled, "The head of Lingqin Peak is only a few months older than you, and she's already reached the first stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Her eldest disciple isn't much older than you either, and is in the early, middle, or late stages of the Nascent Soul Realm. Her second and third disciples are also in the early stages of the Nascent Soul Realm, right? The fourth and fifth disciples are already in the Spiritual Division Realm, and the sixth and seventh disciples are already in the Spiritual Division Realm. Some of them are even younger than you. You say you're not bad at all?"
Mu Qianlan: "..."
He obviously didn't think he was that bad, but the words of the Yihai Pavilion Master were like a sword, stabbing him several times.
Li Qingqing glanced at the somewhat dejected Mu Qianlan and said soothingly, "Don't underestimate yourself. You're actually quite talented, and you should be hardworking. It's just that sometimes life is too monotonous, lacking experience and necessary guidance. You can make progress, but once you reach a bottleneck, it's difficult to break through."
The head of Yihai Pavilion actually agreed with this statement, "That's right. This kid is the only son of the master of Guiyin Island. They are very worried that he will die without leaving any offspring, so they are also worried about letting him go out to train. Otherwise, if he had consumed countless spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, his cultivation level would not be so low as the early stage of the Nascent Soul."
Mu Qianlan was quite embarrassed.
Although his family situation is like this, he doesn't care what others say.
But being said like this in front of the master of Lingqin Peak, he felt inexplicably ashamed.
Due to Li Qingqing's personality, she usually doesn't talk much with strangers, but now she has her own purpose, so she asked a few more questions.
"How many people are there on Guiyin Island? Are there many people your age, or younger?"
She was asking Mu Qianlan, so Mu Qianlan answered her, "There are only about 500 people on Guiyin Island right now. I'm the only one of my age, and there are no more than ten people younger than me."
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, "Are there only so few people on Guiyin Island?"
"Every year when Guiyin Island appears, a group of people leave the island, and a group of people come back. There are probably less than 300 people on the island all year round." Mu Qianlan said in a low voice.
The head of Yihai Pavilion then directly revealed another secret, "Guiyin Island has never had many offspring. Those who leave Guiyin Island either go to gain experience or find a partner to complete the mission of continuing the family line. This kid has become an adult, and he has also followed the same path."
Mu Qianlan: "..."
It was the first time he realized that the leader of Yihai Pavilion, whom he had always respected, was so unpleasant.
Li Qingqing brought up this topic and said, "I think, compared to continuing the family line, isn't it better to have a family with the strongest person? When children grow up, they don't necessarily have to stay at home. They may have greater potential for development if they join a sect."
Just as the Yihai Pavilion Master was about to speak, Mu Qianlan interrupted him and said, "Yes. Getting married now is just my father's arrangement, not my idea. I actually just want to practice hard and become stronger. But my father is stubborn and won't listen to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly dark green figure appeared in front of him.
"You little bastard, is this how you disparage your father in front of our distinguished guests?"
The head of Yihai Pavilion chuckled and bowed to the head of Guiyin Island, "Old friend, nice to see you again!"
The island master of Guiyin Island also smiled and bowed, "I asked this kid to welcome the guests, but he's so slow, I don't know who he resembles. Excuse me!"
As he spoke, he also nodded slightly to Li Qingqing, "Master Lingqin Peak, nice to meet you, I've long admired you!"
Li Qingqing also greeted him with a smile, "I've also heard of the island master's name for a long time. I finally get to meet him today. Nice to meet you!"
They exchanged a few pleasantries and walked forward chatting and laughing.
It’s true that Guiyin Island is really beautiful. All the buildings are hidden among the spiritual plants and blooming flowers. The stream gently surrounds it, and the various pavilions and towers are breathtakingly beautiful.
The gathering place for guests on Guiyin Island is a huge round pavilion covering a large area, and all the seats are arranged in a circle.
Because the owner of Guiyin Island came to pick her up personally, Li Qingqing was arranged to sit in the first row, right next to the owner of Yihai Pavilion.
Just as she sat down, a woman in a gorgeous red dress rushed to Li Qingqing angrily.
"Stand up, I want to challenge you!"
