Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1420: Invitation

The Sound-Transmitting Jade gradually dimmed, leaving Lu Chuan with mixed emotions.

Old Mu probably saw through his disguise from the start, though Lu Chuan couldn’t fathom how he did it. But since Old Mu didn’t reveal him, there was no need to worry.

As for the latter part of the conversation, Lu Chuan found it somewhat amusing.

He indeed wanted to turn the Penglai Immortal Domain upside down, but there were eight known Spirit Splitting experts in the domain. If he exposed his identity, it would lead to a certain death outcome. To change the heavens and earth, he was dreaming.

Not getting beaten into fragments would be considered a stroke of luck for Lu Chuan.

But one way or another, the old man wasn’t a bad person.

Not only did he not expose him, but he also left behind so many treasures.

With this in mind, Lu Chuan opened the box, and the first thing he saw was a pure white mask without any patterns. Though it appeared heavy, it felt as light as a cicada’s wings when held.

Lu Chuan tried it on, and the mask quickly transformed—his complexion and features became identical to Qin Tao’s, lifelike. Lu Chuan touched it; the mask adhered perfectly to his skin, indistinguishable from a real face.

“Now that’s a fine thing!”

Lu Chuan was a bit surprised, but soon realized a problem.

He had put the mask on, but how would he take it off?

Lu Chuan tried various tools but couldn’t remove the mask. It was the Tower Spirit who told him to separate the mask with Spiritual Power, only then could he take off the human-skin mask.

“This thing feels similar to Thousand Faces in a way?”

“There are some differences. Thousand Faces is an Ancient Divine Artifact mimicking recorded wearers’ abilities, while this is merely an ordinary mask that alters appearance.”

“That’s true, but I’ll find a time to acquire Thousand Faces. Didn’t you say that extinguishing Thousand Faces might allow you to unlock the third level of the Heaven-reaching Tower? Once things settle here, we’ll think of a way to find Thousand Faces.”

“Someone is coming.”

The Tower Spirit’s voice fell and it quickly concealed its aura, becoming an ordinary pendant. Lu Chuan wore the human-skin mask again, stored the box in the Demon Suppression Pagoda’s space, and, at that moment, someone knocked at the door.

Lu Chuan ignored it, yet the person seemed relentless, continuing to knock non-stop.

“Ugh, who is it? Early in the morning, won’t you let anyone rest?”

“Qin Tao, it’s me, Kong Zhaozhao.”

“Kong Zhaozhao?”

Why is this girl here?

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, got up, and opened the door. He happened to meet Kong Zhaozhao’s gaze, a hint of joy flashed in her cold eyes.

“Honestly, what’s your reason for coming early in the morning? Won’t you let people sleep?”

“You rascal, mind your manners when speaking to the lady.”

Before Kong Zhaozhao could speak, the shadow behind her stepped forward and kicked Lu Chuan.

“Shadow, don’t act like this. Qin Tao is straightforward, with no ill-intent really.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Shadow nodded slightly but still secretly glared at Lu Chuan, signaling not to go too far, but Lu Chuan ignored it.

“So what brings you here?”

“Qin Tao, I heard Elder Mu Changchen is in seclusion, attempting to break through to Spirit Splitting Realm. Do you know where Elder Mu is now?”

“I don’t know. Old Mu didn’t say anything, just left me a letter and a few old items before leaving.”

“That’s typical of Elder Mu’s personality…”

Kong Zhaozhao nodded slightly, then changed the topic, “In that case, why not move to Little Frost Peak? It would be more convenient. There are hundreds of empty rooms on the peak, choose any one you like.”

Before Lu Chuan could speak after Kong Zhaozhao’s words, the shadow immediately vetoed it, “Miss, definitely not! Letting such a person stay at Little Frost Peak might affect your reputation!”

“Hey, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by ‘such a person’? What did I do to you? Moreover, do you think I care?”

“Stop being sharp-tongued here; I’m telling you, this is absolutely impossible!”

“Don’t say it to me, say it to your lady. What’s wrong with you? If I could defeat you, I’d bury you in the ground already.”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes, returned to the room, picked up a cup from the table, poured himself a drink, and ate a few peanuts with a crunch.

“See, that’s not me saying; Shadow doesn’t want me to go there, so there’s nothing I can do.”

“I am the master of Little Frost Peak. Why should I need anyone’s approval for an invitation?”

“But Miss!”

“Enough, Shadow. You may leave. I need to talk to Qin Tao alone.”

Faced with Kong Zhaozhao’s resolute gaze, even though Shadow had a thousand reasons to prevent Lu Chuan from moving into Little Frost Peak, he could only turn around and leave.

Witnessing this scene, Lu Chuan suddenly laughed.

“Now we can barely see you’re her master; go on, what exactly do you want with me?”

“It’s just a simple invitation for you to move to Little Frost Peak. There, your cultivation resources will be unlimited; do whatever you want without disturbance, only suppress the Frost Poison for me nightly.”

“I suppose I can, but why do I feel like you have an ulterior motive?”

Lu Chuan half-closed his eyes, glaring directly at Kong Zhaozhao until she blushed, then he smiled knowingly, “I’m telling you, are you falling for me?”

“? What kind of joke are you making? Just tell me whether you agree or not, stop with such dull comments!”

“No problem, I agree, but I have a condition.”

“What condition?”

Lu Chuan then knocked on the wine pot, grinning, “Excellent wine and gourmet food daily; I’m a guest after all, such little request isn’t too much, right?”

“Not at all. I’ve already sent people to the Six Domains to procure the finest wine and hired two chefs; they should arrive at the Immortal Sect tomorrow.”

“Great! Not today, I’ll move tomorrow; aren’t you afraid that if someone finds out, rumors might spread?”

“In the eyes of outsiders, I’m just a dying person. Who’d care about what I do? That’s it, I’ll leave first. Remember to come to Little Frost Peak tomorrow.”

Lu Chuan waved without lifting his head, impatiently, “Got it, don’t be repetitive, you interrupt my rest.”

Seeing Kong Zhaozhao leave, Lu Chuan’s smile gradually faded.

“What exactly is with Kong Zhaozhao? Has she lost her mind?”

He could understand if she was friendly with him since she hardly had anyone to chat with around her.

But actively inviting him to move to Little Frost Peak was indeed odd.

She was the dignified Sect Master’s daughter; inviting a little-known figure like him to Little Frost Peak felt fundamentally wrong.

As they say, if an occurrence is unusual, there’s a reason behind it. Lu Chuan couldn’t help but suspect Kong Zhaozhao had a mysterious plan in mind.
