I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

A few days later, Shen Ming circulated his Limitless True Qi, opened the first Xuan Guan (mysterious gate), and officially stepped into the early stage of the Xuan Guan Realm of the Innate Third Realm.

The human body has nine gates, with each three gates constituting one phase.

The primordial energy accelerates its circulation through the Xuan Guan (mysterious gate), transforming into a surging force.

The punch was thrown out like a cannonball, with a muffled sound of air being cut.

Circulating the "Limitless Sword Technique," the sword's momentum is overwhelming, and its sword energy reaches everywhere.

call!

After finishing his sword practice, Shen Ming exhaled a breath of stale air from his mouth and nose, with wisps of white smoke rising from his body.

The Limitless True Qi is truly extraordinary.

Shen Ming was still feeling proud when he heard footsteps outside the door, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

You can tell from the footsteps that it's Senior Sister Xu Lingyue.

These days, Xu Lingyue comes to guide his cultivation every day.

Shen Ming began to feel pressured because he discovered something big!

My senior likes me!

This is definitely not one of the three great illusions of life.

Shen Ming was confident, the most obvious point being that his senior sister did not allow other female disciples to enter his courtyard.

Liu Qianqian invited him to visit Falling Star Cliff yesterday to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and Senior Sister Xu Lingyue happened to be there as well.

So, Shen Ming invited his senior sister to come along.

At that moment, both Liu Qianqian and her senior sister had somewhat subtle expressions. Then, the senior sister, looking displeased, used cultivation as an excuse to send Liu Qianqian away.

When Liu Qianqian left, her eyes were filled with resentment, and she said something sarcastic to her senior sister.

Therefore, Shen Ming was certain that his senior sister liked him and was particularly possessive.

He refused all visiting disciples, regardless of gender, the door.

"Junior Brother Xu, how is your cultivation of the Limitless True Qi going?"

Xu Lingyue, dressed in a red dress, opened the door and greeted everyone with a smile, revealing two pretty dimples at the corners of her mouth.

His dark, bright eyes held a hint of cunning, yet they appeared even more lively.

Xu Lingyue admired the shamelessness of this young master of the Jiang family, and for several days in a row, she earnestly asked him to teach her about cultivation.

Her stubbornness flared up, and she wanted to see how long Shen Ming could hold out.

The first thing you ask about upon meeting is the Limitless True Qi. Aren't you ashamed?

Faced with his senior sister's concern, Shen Ming felt a warmth in his heart, but he thought that some things still needed to be made clear.

"Senior sister, I have something I want to tell you," Shen Ming said.

Finally, they couldn't hold on any longer?!

Xu Lingyue beamed with delight, believing that Shen Ming was about to admit defeat to her.

She wasn't a bad person; at most, she would give Shen Ming a few words of advice, asking him not to swindle and deceive people in the Xuantian Sect.

“Senior sister, I am grateful for your kindness, but I am engaged. Although my fiancée and I have never met, our betrothal is a matter of family honor,” Shen Ming said.

Shen Ming knew that most transmigrators had multiple wives and concubines.

But he doesn't intend to be one of them.

Women are emotional, with strong feelings of love and hate, and they will have a strong desire for revenge when their partners are unfaithful.

In the TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Prince Duan was a womanizer, and as a result, his only son was not his own.

Shen Ming didn't want that kind of thing to happen to him.

Therefore, Shen Ming's idea was to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

If you are truly let down, it's because you misjudged people and couldn't change your original intentions.

What nonsense are you spouting?! It took Xu Lingyue a while to make sure she hadn't misheard.

This kid thinks he likes her?!

Not only that, but he also resolutely rejected himself!

If your fiancée knew what you were like now, she'd call off the engagement immediately!

Xu Lingyue was furious, her chest heaving.

She stared intently at Shen Ming, wanting to know if this despicable guy was doing it on purpose.

As a result, she almost broke down when she felt the sincerity in Shen Ming's eyes.

She wasn't a fragile woman, but faced with this situation, her eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face.

"You bastard!"

Xu Lingyue leaped over the courtyard wall and gracefully disappeared.

She was at the second level of the Innate Realm, possessing abundant primordial true energy, and her red figure swiftly traversed the mountains and fields.

As luck would have it, a disciple nearby witnessed this scene.

In fact, it wasn't just Shen Ming who misunderstood; the other disciples had already been gossiping about it in their hearts.

Xu Lingyue changed her usual carefree style and spent several hours at Shen Ming's residence every day.

And other disciples are not allowed to come in and disturb them; how can this not make people have all sorts of wild thoughts?

At this moment, Xu Lingyue ran out of Shen Ming's residence with tears streaming down her face!

"Could it be that Shen Ming is a lecherous rogue? Trying to take liberties with Senior Sister Xu Lingyue?!"

"Idiot, a first-stage Innate Realm cultivator molesting a second-stage Innate Realm cultivator? How could you even think of that!"

"That's because my senior sister's advances were rejected!"

"That's possible. Shen Ming has a mysterious background and extraordinary talent. He's destined to be an outstanding person, so his standards are naturally very high."

"Looking at the entire Xuantian Sect, among the female disciples, only Senior Sister Nalan cultivates a Heaven-level technique."

……

Rumors always spread the fastest.

Even in the mountain markets where the outer disciples lived, it became a topic of conversation after meals.

However, to some extent, Xu Lingyue achieved her goal.

There are no more visitors at Shen Ming's residence.

The female disciples thought that if Shen Ming didn't even like Senior Sister Xu Lingyue, they had no hope at all.

The male disciples were worried about being implicated.

Xu Lingyue was different from the other disciples who joined the Xuantian Sect. She grew up in the sect and was pampered.

Now that they've suffered such a great injustice, some people are bound to get restless.

At dusk, on Spirit Beast Mountain.

A young man dressed in a loose, light blue robe stood on a cliff, his hands behind his back, looking focused.

On a hillside not far away, there was a magnificent ancient ape standing upright, its gray and white fur resembling steel needles.

The two, one human and one ape, locked eyes, reluctant to part.

Gradually, a strange sense of emotion appeared on the young man's face.

"Once I become a true disciple, I will have my own spirit beast, and then we can adventure together!"

The young man's name was Yang Hao, an inner disciple of Daqiong Peak.

Spirit Beast Mountain is the place where the Xuantian Sect raises mounts and war beasts.

Yang Hao remembered that when he first became an inner disciple, he was in charge of patrolling the mountain and discovered an ancient ape that was still a baby.

Yang Hao was immediately captivated.

For the next few years, he would come to observe the ancient apes almost every day.

Unfortunately, Spirit Beast Mountain is protected by a restriction, so it can only be viewed from a distance.

Nevertheless, Yang Hao firmly believed that there was a bond between him and the ancient ape that ordinary people could not understand.

"Senior Brother Yang Hao."

An insensitive person interrupted him.

Yang Hao withdrew his gaze and turned around.

Upon seeing this, the ancient ape immediately puffed out its chest, clenched its fists and slapped them hard, exhaling a white breath from its nostrils.

"What is it?" Yang Hao asked his lackey with displeasure.

"Senior Brother Yang Hao, it seems that Senior Sister Xu Lingyue has been bullied." The follower relayed the news that had spread throughout the day.

After listening, Yang Hao lowered his eyes and looked thoughtful.

"Junior Sister is also at the age of budding romance. Although forced love is never sweet, my junior sister of Qiongfeng is not someone that anyone can bully!"

"Senior brother, shall we go find him now?" The little follower was eager to try; following his senior brother and showing off was his hobby.

"I'm at the third level of the Innate Realm, and I'm going to bully someone at the first level of the Innate Realm? That's a joke!" Yang Hao said, dissatisfied.

He wasn't a newcomer to the Xuantian Sect; he had his own network and connections.

There's no need for me to get involved in things like bullying.

Just then, Yang Hao heard the ancient ape's roar and had a good idea.
