Chapter 29  So Intimate? Let Him Try!

“Mm.”

Su Ming’s gaze turned towards her. Fang Qingxue felt a wave of nervousness rise inside her, and her body tensed slightly without realizing it. So this was the legendary Demon Emperor’s heir?

Although she had caught a distant glimpse of him the day before, she hadn’t dared to stare directly at him. Today was the first time she was seeing Su Ming up close and clearly.

“Raise your head.”

Su Ming spoke.

Fang Qingxue looked up cautiously. The man before her was strikingly handsome, with a sunny disposition and a gentle, refined aura. Just his looks alone could easily inspire affection in others, and they stirred a subtle flutter in Fang Qingxue’s heart.

“Don’t be nervous,” Su Ming said kindly. “I noticed your swordsmanship is impressive. I’m quite interested in swordsmanship myself, so I asked you here to chat.”

“Yes,” Fang Qingxue replied, still tense despite her words. It was clear she hadn’t fully relaxed.

“The heir is very kind. Come, sit over here,” Qin Yingluo said with a smile, stepping forward.

She led Fang Qingxue to sit beside Su Ming, and the three began chatting casually. For the most part, it was Qin Yingluo asking questions and Fang Qingxue answering.

Su Ming only occasionally chimed in, but after some time, Fang Qingxue gradually loosened up. It seemed the heir truly was approachable?

She mustered the courage to sneak a glance at Su Ming. He was confident and charismatic, with outstanding looks—a clear representative of the elite in this vast world.

Yet he carried no arrogance. His manner was like a spring breeze, easy and comforting, which greatly increased her admiration.

In the distance, the competition was still ongoing. Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

“I, Fang Yuhan, challenge the inner sect disciples today! Who dares to face me?”

A young man stood at the center of the square, shouting boldly and drawing everyone’s attention.

Fang Yuhan?

Su Ming’s eyes lit up.

At last, the main character had arrived. Fang Yuhan’s sudden outburst caused a stir in the surrounding stands.

“Who is this guy?”

“Looks like he’s from the Shenhua Peak.”

“Such arrogance! He dares challenge the inner sect disciples?”

The crowd erupted with disbelief and anger. No one expected someone to openly issue such a bold challenge during such an important event. Huahua Daoist’s face darkened. He had hoped today’s competition would proceed smoothly, especially with the focus on the Demon Emperor’s heir.

He had tried his best to avoid any mishaps—but now this?

He glanced at the disciplinary elder beside him.

“Nonsense! You’re just an outer sect disciple who hasn’t even passed the inner sect test! Who are you to challenge the inner sect?”

“Get down immediately!”

The disciplinary elder stepped forward, shouting sternly. Fang Yuhan’s grey-blue robe clearly marked him as an outer sect disciple.

A mere outer sect disciple—far from the core of the Yuhua Immortal Sect. For him to jump out at this moment—wasn’t it just a ploy for attention? Mockery filled the air.

“An outer sect disciple? Are you crazy?”

“Heh… how dare an outer sect disciple act so arrogant? Truly foolish!”

“Get lost already!”

The scolding echoed across the square.

“So what if I’m an outer sect disciple? Not a single inner sect disciple here can match me!”

Fang Yuhan sneered coldly, radiating a powerful aura. His arrogance reached its peak.

“You—!”

The disciplinary elder was furious.

To have such a rebellious and arrogant brat cause trouble right in front of the Demon Emperor’s heir—It was beyond humiliating.

Huahua Daoist’s expression also soured as he glanced nervously at the heir. But to his surprise, the heir seemed intrigued?

Su Ming’s eyes sparkled, a stark contrast to his earlier nonchalance.

Heh… how interesting.

This so-called “child of destiny” was certainly overbearing.

Tsk tsk…

Su Ming quietly praised him.

Indeed, the vast world is full of wonders. Some chosen ones are low-key and patient, others are gifted beyond belief—And some, like Fang Yuhan, are proud and ambitious.

Interesting. With that kind of personality, he’s practically handing me free villain points, Su Ming mused with a faint smile, several thoughts already forming in his mind.

Beside him, Fang Qingxue had frozen up again, visibly nervous. Just then, Su Ming spoke again.

“Fang, and from Shenhua Peak? The head of Yuhua just said—Qingxue, you’re from Shenhua Peak too?”

Qingxue

Hearing such an intimate way of addressing her, Fang Qingxue’s slender frame trembled slightly. The heir was calling her so affectionately. She felt both shy and proud. After all, being addressed so closely by the Demon Emperor’s heir of the Wujian Demon Palace was not something just anyone could enjoy.

“Yes, my lord, that Fang Yuhan is indeed from Shenhua Peak, and… he is my servant.”

Fang Qingxue quickly replied.

“Servant?”

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

“Go on.”

Fang Qingxue obediently recounted Fang Yuhan’s background—How he was once just a lowly servant with poor talent. But one day, he suddenly awakened, and his cultivation soared.

She happened to return home briefly, and in just three days—She witnessed Fang Yuhan advance from an ordinary, weak youth to someone who had reached the Qi Condensation and even the Divine Sea realm…

Seeing his potential, she brought him to Shenhua Peak and made him part of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

“His progress was rapid. Originally, he said he was aiming to become an inner sect disciple… I didn’t expect him to go straight for the inner sanctum challenge…”

Fang Qingxue spoke with a hint of helplessness—She truly hadn’t expected Fang Yuhan to be so daring.

“Hmm, quite interesting,” Su Ming said with a chuckle.

A servant background—no wonder he was so desperate to make a name for himself. If it weren’t for Su Ming’s unexpected appearance, Fang Yuhan might have really made a splash today and become one of the sect’s core disciples.

He might have even inherited an ancient legacy from the sect and risen to greatness. But unfortunately… the Demon Emperor’s heir had arrived. Which meant, his rise might already be over.

“Headmaster Huahua,” Su Ming said.

“Yes, my lord?”

Huahua Daoist immediately stood and responded respectfully.

“This boy wants to challenge the inner sanctum? Let him try.”

Su Ming said calmly.

“As you command!”
