Miao Hua Palace was situated on Miaonling Peak of Miaohua Mountain.
This mountain peak, viewed from afar, resembled a graceful young maiden, so it was named with the two characters ‘Miaonling’ (Graceful Age).
Coincidentally enough.
The first palace master of Miao Hua Palace came to this place and took a liking to this particular feature, so she founded a sect and built a sect that only recruited female disciples.
In countless men’s hearts, Miao Hua Palace was definitely a sacred land, because the female disciples inside were all beautiful as flowers.
Unfortunately.
The sect had a rule—men were forbidden to enter.
So visiting Miao Hua Palace to tour among the flowers became many men’s dream.
Some people didn’t turn back until hitting the south wall. Knowing they couldn’t enter, they would still come to Miaohua Mountain, hoping to catch a glimpse of the beautiful female disciples.
Indeed.
At the foot of Miaohua Mountain, many dashing young masters and renowned young heroes from the martial world had gathered.
Jun Changxiao walked over, looking at the gathered thirty to fifty young elites, and couldn’t help thinking: “Quite lively indeed.”
“Swish!”
A scholar-dressed young master walked over, gracefully opening his folding fan and smiling: “My friend, are you also here to behold Miao Hua Palace disciples’ grace?”
“Uh, I suppose so.” Jun Changxiao was revisiting Miao Hua Palace, so naturally he wanted to see whether the sect disciples differed much from the fifth-tier Sacred Spring Sect.
The scholar looked him up and down: “From my friend’s attire, you don’t seem to be from any prestigious family.”
Jun Changxiao really wanted to reply, whether I’m from a prestigious family or not, what does it have to do with you?
But when away from home, it was best to keep a low profile, so he deflected: “Just an ordinary family.”
The scholar closed his folding fan, pointing at the young elites ahead: “They’re all young masters from prestigious families. My friend, coming from an ordinary family to Miao Hua Palace, you definitely won’t get a second glance from the beautiful disciples.”
“Oh?”
Jun Changxiao smiled: “From your tone, they come to Miao Hua Palace to win beauties’ smiles?”
“Isn’t that your purpose too, my friend?” the scholar asked in return.
“It’s not.”
Jun Changxiao said truthfully: “I’m here to visit Miao Hua Palace.”
His voice was a bit loud. Those young masters standing nearby heard it and cast astonished looks.
Did we hear wrong?
This guy wants to visit Miao Hua Palace?
The scholar also froze, then smiled: “Miao Hua Palace has never welcomed men. My friend going to visit—isn’t that a joke?”
“This guy’s brain has problems, right?”
“If Miao Hua Palace could be casually visited, why would we be standing at the mountain’s foot?”
“Looks like he’s a country bumpkin who came out from the mountains, not having heard of Miao Hua Palace’s rules.”
Everyone discussed in low voices, their words filled with contempt.
Jun Changxiao was a bit speechless.
So just because you all don’t qualify to enter, I have to not qualify along with you?
Just a bunch of idle rich young masters with too much time on their hands. Sect Leader Jun wouldn’t stoop to their level and continued walking forward.
“They’re coming down, coming down!” Suddenly, someone shouted.
Jun Changxiao looked up and saw over a dozen Miao Hua Palace disciples walking down from the steps. He had to admit, they had slender figures and pretty faces, easily attracting male attention.
Walking in front was Lier, the disciple who often accompanied Xi Jingxuan.
“Senior Sister.”
A female disciple said in a low voice: “There’s another group of lechers gathered at the mountain foot. Should we drive them all away?”
Lier said indifferently: “Just flies. Ignore them.”
……
Over a dozen Miao Hua Palace disciples descended the mountain, immediately drawing the young masters’ gazes as they all looked up.
Where affection flows, the water runs cold.
They didn’t even glance over, treating them as air.
The young masters here were already used to this, so they didn’t mind being ignored, instead slowly savoring the Miao Hua Palace disciples.
“Young Master Su, I think the disciple walking in front has the most exceptional appearance.”
“The second-to-last female disciple, petite and adorable, is exactly the type this young master fancies.”
“I think the second one is quite good.”
Everyone discussed in low voices.
Jun Changxiao shook his head, thinking: “Have they never seen women before?”
Sect Leader Jun didn’t know this.
Miao Hua Palace disciples, cultivating year-round on the spiritually abundant Miaohua Mountain, had over time formed a unique temperament that other women couldn’t match.
The various young masters had naturally seen plenty of beauties, but compared to Miao Hua Palace disciples, they were truly just common rouge and powder.
Before long.
Lier led her fellow disciples down the mountain, continuing to ignore the roadside young masters, each one like a proud peacock.
“Miss Lier.”
Jun Changxiao said: “We meet again.”
The young masters nearby froze, then their eyes filled with murderous rage!
This guy actually took the initiative to greet them. If he angered the other party and they all got driven away together, that would be an unforgivable offense!
Previously, someone had cheaply tried to get familiar, and the result was that for half a year, outsiders weren’t allowed near Miaohua Mountain.
With Sect Leader Jun’s one sentence, murderous intent came from all directions, leaving him rather puzzled, thinking: “What’s going on?”
Hearing someone call out her nickname, Lier’s willow eyebrows furrowed, but after hearing the words clearly, her expression froze and she turned to look, exclaiming in shock: “It’s you!”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A Miao Hua Palace disciple recognized this guy?
Jun Changxiao said: “Miss Lier, is it so strange that it’s me?”
Lier frowned deeply: “Why did you come!”
“To revisit, of course.” Jun Changxiao said.
“…” Lier fell silent.
She naturally remembered the agreement the palace master made with Jun Changxiao at the Iron Bones Sect, but she didn’t expect him to come so soon!
“What?”
Jun Changxiao smiled: “Not welcome?”
“Hmph.”
Lier snorted coldly: “Since you’ve come to revisit, my Miao Hua Palace naturally welcomes you.”
Saying this, she made a gesture: “Please.”
Hearing ‘welcomes,’ hearing ‘please,’ the nearby young masters were instantly dumbstruck, even suspecting they had misheard!
They hadn’t misheard, because they witnessed with their own eyes Jun Changxiao being led up the steps by Lier and the other disciples.
“My heavens!”
“Who exactly is that guy, to actually be qualified to enter Miao Hua Palace!”
“From just now it seems like he’s old acquaintances with the Miao Hua Palace disciples!”
Everyone chattered away, their gazes filled with envy.
“Everyone.”
Jun Changxiao climbed the mountain while waving his hand: “I’ll head up first. You all can continue dry-watching down below.”
Damn it.
You all just looked down on me, so I have to provoke you a bit.
Jun Changxiao’s face-slapping approach was truly a bit childish, a bit immature.
……
“What?”
In the study, Xi Jingxuan stood up, saying joyfully: “Sect Leader Jun has come to revisit?!”
“Yes.”
Lier said: “He’s already been arranged in the west guest room by this disciple.”
In her heart, she thought: My palace master, that guy coming to revisit—you don’t need to be this excited, right?
“Lier.”
Xi Jingxuan hurriedly tidied her hair and clothes, flustered: “Should I change clothes and dress up nicely?”
