Chapter 222: Chapter 208: The Beauties’ Scheme of the Taixu Sect_2
Gao Miao took out the communication talisman and pressed the dial button for Jiang Cheng’s number.
Three minutes later, Li Qingge’s communication talisman rang.
“President Li, have you arrived at the doorstep of the Talisman Master Association?” Jiang Cheng asked.
“Mmm, did Gao Miao look for you?”
“President Li, you’ve anticipated perfectly.”
Li Qingge glanced at the several disciples beside her, “I guessed he would look for you. How about it, will you give him some face?”
There was a moment of silence from the communication talisman before Jiang Cheng’s voice came through, “I’ll go over and take a look myself.”
Li Qingge smiled, “Alright.”
She ended the call on the communication talisman and said to the Taixu Sect disciples around her, “Jiang Cheng will be coming soon. Be smart later on. Try to be seen more around him.”
Several female disciples of various styles stood beside Li Qingge.
Some were cute and charming, some were youthful and beautiful, and others were quiet and dignified.
As for the “mature and intellectual” type, there was no need to find specific female disciples because Li Qingge herself embodied that.
But after several encounters with Jiang Cheng, she felt that he didn’t have any extra interest in her, probably not favoring an “older sister” type.
Upon hearing Li Qingge’s words, the several female disciples had varying expressions.
The quiet female cultivator hesitated, “President Li, I really can’t bring myself to seduce male cultivators.”
Li Qingge frowned sternly, “It’s just about seeing Jiang Cheng; if you feel it’s right, then chat more and try to foster some affection. Taixu Sect isn’t Hehuan Sect; you don’t need to ‘seduce’ anyone.”
The cute female disciple murmured, “Isn’t it still seduction, what’s the difference?”
Li Qingge replied, “You don’t have to flutter and fawn, isn’t that a difference?”
The female cultivators lowered their heads, none of them eager to approach Jiang Cheng.
Li Qingge sighed internally, thinking that these days, disciples no longer took the interests of the sect seriously.
“You are young now and don’t understand the importance of Jiang Cheng. Let me make it clear today, listen carefully. If Taixu Sect disciples marry someone who can make a significant contribution to the sect, the sect will also remember your merits. Because you are the true disciples of Taixu Sect, you are our own people, not your Dao companions. Can you understand the difference?”
The female cultivators looked at each other.
The quiet one said, “President Li, are you saying that sect interests are more important than our personal feelings, right?”
“Although I’m reluctant to burst your bubble, it’s obvious that as Immortal Sect disciples, you should put the interests of the sect first.”
“Then why don’t you go looking for Jiang Cheng? You’re prettier than us!”
Li Qingge thought to herself: If Jiang Cheng liked older sisters, none of this would involve you.
She sighed and said indifferently, “Forget it, I won’t force you if you’re unwilling, but don’t regret it and say I didn’t give you a chance.”
After saying this, Li Qingge left them be.
The three stood in place, exchanging glances.
“Do you think she will make things difficult for us?”
“Even if she does, so what? Do you really want to get close to someone you don’t like?”
“I never expected there would be so much social intrigue even in the Immortal Sects. Anyway, I believe in fate and would never marry a stranger for the sake of the sect’s interests.”
“Same here. I have a phobia of filth.”
“Hey, isn’t that cultivator Jiang Cheng?”
Following the pointing finger of the young female cultivator, they all looked towards the entrance of the Tongtian Sect Talisman Master Association.
They saw a youth with a sunny and handsome appearance standing very confidently between President Gao and President Li, speaking and laughing easily, facing two Core Formation cultivators of higher cultivation without any sign of being intimidated.
What’s more, with a few words, he dispelled the animosity between Taixu Sect and Tongtian Sect, achieving what a Nascent Soul Stage Helmsman couldn’t do!
The three female cultivators were at a loss for words.
Their gazes were completely captivated by Jiang Cheng.
“I think President Li is right; sect interests really are more important than personal feelings.”
“What if I’m starting to regret? Can someone comfort me?”
“I’ll comfort you. Look, he’s not giving President Li a second glance; even if you don’t regret, he probably won’t take a liking to you. Stop dreaming.”
“You’re very comforting, don’t comfort me again next time.”
…
After several days of deliberate publicity by Taixu Sect, the feud between Tongtian Sect and Taixu Sect had become almost common knowledge in the Capital.
One side clung on, insisting on letting people go.
The other side refused to back down.
Actually, Tongtian Sect was willing to negotiate with Taixu Sect.
Out of respect for both being part of the Immortal Sects, releasing a few people wasn’t a problem.
But Taixu Sect, right when an agreement was about to be reached, would suddenly turn hostile and renege, leading to negotiations to be infeasible.
Some perceptive cultivators from Tongtian Sect could roughly discern Taixu Sect’s intentions.
But they couldn’t understand what Taixu Sect was trying to achieve with all this drama?
“Jiang Cheng, Prince Qi has contacted us,” Li Qingge’s voice came from the communication talisman.
Jiang Cheng could hear the relief in her tone.
The standoff between Taixu Sect and Tongtian Sect wasn’t just pressure for Tongtian Sect; Taixu Sect in the Capital also faced pressure from their superiors.
Now that the big fish had taken the bait, it was finally time to close the net.
Jiang Cheng asked, “When do you plan to talk with Prince Qi?”
“You decide.”
“The sooner, the better.”
“Then tonight.”
That evening, at the entrance of Five Saints Restaurant, an expensive-looking ground vehicle slowly stopped in front of the restaurant.
A brocaded guard with a sword opened the door, and a middle-aged man with a stern face stepped out.
