"Chu Ge, your talent is extraordinary. Are you willing to take me as your master?"
A clear, cold voice rang out.
Luo Huangjun stepped forward with light, graceful strides, slowly walking toward Chu Ge. When she came to stand before him, the surrounding great experts subconsciously made way for her.
Her ethereal, immortal-like bearing drew silent amazement from everyone present.
Chu Ge, too, was shaken by her peerless elegance. He couldn't help but lose himself for a brief moment before quickly regaining his composure. He looked at her—her otherworldly figure and cold, aloof stance instantly left a deep impression on him.
Beside Luo Huangjun, Su Lingyuan was secretly sizing up Chu Ge. When her gaze met his, she flashed him a sweet smile, looking just like an adorable, well-behaved little neighbor girl.
Shallow dimples bloomed on her cheeks. Between her rows of pearly white teeth were two slightly sharp little canine teeth, adding a touch of liveliness to her appearance.
Yet for some reason, Chu Ge sensed a hint of a little devil about her.
He always felt that the girl now smiling so sweetly at him was not as obedient as she seemed on the surface.
But he didn't dwell on it. Luo Huangjun was still waiting for his answer.
"I—"
Chu Ge was just about to agree.
"Wait!"
At that very moment, a sharp shout came from the void.
Chu Ge was startled. He looked up and saw a graceful figure in red descending lightly through the air.
The newcomer's dazzling red hair danced wildly in the air; merely standing there, she gave off an overwhelmingly eye-catching presence.
At this moment, the suddenly arrived woman was smiling charmingly at Chu Ge.
Only then did Chu Ge clearly see her face. Her beauty was in no way inferior to Luo Huangjun's in the slightest!
At the center of her brow was a crimson mark, like a blooming red lotus, or like a blazing flame.
Beautiful—yet dangerous.
Just like her fiery exterior, what lay hidden within was a scorching heat capable of burning everything to ashes.
At this moment, flickering flames seemed to dance within her eyes. Her thin lips were a vivid red, and her long scarlet dress was like a magnificent flame wrapping around her body.
Anyone who dared to even think of touching her would have to endure the searing trial of that blazing fire.
"My name is Dantai Jinglian, the Grand Elder of the Taihuang Sacred Land. Chu Ge, would you consider taking me as your master?"
"I'm no worse than my junior sister. If you take me as your master, I won't treat you poorly."
Dantai Jinglian cast a sideways glance at Luo Huangjun, then looked back at Chu Ge with a smiling face.
"Senior Sister has just come out of seclusion—your cultivation must have improved greatly. You and I haven't tested each other's progress in a long time. Since timing is everything, why not do it right now?"
Luo Huangjun maintained her cold, detached demeanor.
"Fine! Since Junior Sister has such intentions, Senior Sister will naturally accompany you!"
"Let me, as your senior, see whether you've neglected your cultivation after taking the position of Sacred Lord!"
Dantai Jinglian's smile grew even brighter. The fire in her eyes intensified, and the red lotus mark on her brow flashed with a dangerous crimson glow!
The two stared at each other, their gazes like lightning.
A tense, scorching atmosphere began to spread. Even the surrounding space rippled as the auras of the two collided.
Su Lingyuan, who stood closest, shrank her neck like a quail, not daring to breathe loudly at all.
In the next instant, both figures vanished from the scene at the same time.
Only then did the assembled great experts dare to breathe freely again, resuming their quiet discussions in low voices.
