Chapter 126: The Aloof Immortal and the Wealthy Prince 15

The surroundings were eerily silent. Whether it was the group of immortals in the sky or Zhongli Mingji and the others, everyone was silent, as if time itself had come to a standstill.

The leading elder of the Tiangang Pavilion was the first to break the silence, reminding them, “Since the Immortal Lord has regained his memories, he should return to the immortal realm as soon as possible.”

“Do not linger in the mortal world of red dust!”

The monks from the Wuxiang Temple merely chanted a Buddhist mantra, saying nothing more.

The Qingyun Sect and the Lingxiao Sect continued to remain silent.

The main reason was that the elders and disciples of these two major immortal sects had yet to recover from the shock of the Frost Immortal Lord secretly falling in love with a mortal man.

The Third Elder of the Lingxiao Sect was inwardly screaming, unable to believe what his eyes had seen.

How could the eldest brother fall for a man?!

Even if he liked men, there were so many high-quality male immortals in the immortal realm for the eldest brother to choose from. Why did he have to get involved with a mortal man?

“!!!” The Fifth Elder of the Lingxiao Sect wore the same dumbfounded expression as the Third Elder, hating the cruel reality his eyes had witnessed.

The eldest brother had truly been taken by a mortal!

His sharp eyes had accurately spotted the love marks on the eldest brother’s neck and the pinch marks on his wrist, filling him with an indescribable complexity of emotions.

Heavenly Dao! Have you gone blind?!

What kind of messy red strings have you been tying?

“…” The Fifth Elder of the Lingxiao Sect was at a loss for words to express his inner turmoil.

Zhongli Mingji casually turned his gaze, his sharp and icy eyes sweeping over the elder from the Tiangang Pavilion who had spoken and the immortal monk chanting the Buddhist mantra.

Those piercing phoenix eyes exuded a cold detachment, radiating a chilling aura that struck fear into the hearts of all who met his gaze.

“Since when have my affairs become your business? Who gave you the right?!”

He coldly rebuked them without hesitation, “Do you think you can make decisions for me? Or do you think I can no longer wield my sword?”

The four major immortal sects were all struck by an overwhelming wave of frosty immortal energy, chilling them to the bone and causing them to shiver uncontrollably.

Behind the coldness lay a dangerous sword intent, and behind that, a cold, killing intent.

They had no doubt that the Frost Immortal Lord would indeed draw his sword and annihilate them all.

Their composed expressions gradually turned to panic, and one by one, they began to make excuses.

“Immortal Lord, please forgive us. We meant no such thing.”

“We have come only to invite the Immortal Lord back to attend the upcoming Immortal Alliance meeting.”

“We are concerned for the Immortal Lord’s safety and do not wish to be his enemy.”

“Yes, yes…”

Zhongli Mingji watched the members of the immortal sects as they scrambled to justify themselves, his expression indifferent. “I have already made a three-year battle pact with the Demon Lord and have no time for other matters. As for the Immortal Alliance meeting, you can handle it yourselves.”

“Moreover, return to where you came from!”

He glanced around, his eyes clouded with an inscrutable depth, like mist shrouding mountains and rivers.

“If you dare disturb my cultivation or trouble my future immortal partner again, I will not hesitate to strike each of you down one by one!”

Upon hearing this, the elders and disciples of the four major immortal sects shook their heads repeatedly. They had arrived with great fanfare but now left in disgrace, not daring to utter a single word to Zhongli Mingji.

Only the two elders from the Lingxiao Sect remained.

They teleported closer to Zhongli Mingji and began to inquire about the eldest brother’s recent situation.

“Eldest Brother, have your injuries fully healed?”

“Eldest Brother, are you really going to get married? Have you truly given it enough thought?”

Zhongli Mingji nodded firmly. “You need not worry about me. I am perfectly fine, and my marriage is a settled matter.”

“…” The Third Elder stared at him, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.

The Fifth Elder pondered for a moment before asking, “Eldest Brother, has your Path of Heartlessness already…”

Zhongli Mingji twisted his fingers slightly. “I have now shifted from the Path of Heartlessness to the Path of Heartfelt Love, and my strength has returned to the Jade Balance Realm of the past.”

“You should return to the immortal realm as well. Tell the Second Brother that I will not be returning to the Lingxiao Sect for now.”

He glanced at the man standing silently behind him and spoke unhurriedly, “I will wait for him to ascend to immortality. For now, I have no time to concern myself with the Lingxiao Sect.”

The Fifth Elder’s face twisted for a moment. What a man, this seductive disaster!

I… I… I…

Ahhh! Give me back my eldest brother!

“Well… take your time. The Fifth Brother and I will return to the Lingxiao Sect first.” The Third Elder quickly dragged away the visibly displeased Fifth Elder, fearing that the latter might blurt out something uncontrollable.

An Wuyou raised an eyebrow at the scene.

Tsk, his son was truly deeply in love, taking all the risks upon himself.

He turned to look at Jin Muhan. “Young man, you must treat my Mingji well from now on.”

Jin Muhan smiled and nodded. “I will.”

An Wuyou narrowed his eyes, his tone neither warm nor cold. “If you dare betray his feelings, both his mother and I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth.”

“The Zhongli family will never let you go!”

Jin Muhan looked at him gently. “I will never betray or abandon Mingji.”

“Meeting him was the luckiest thing in my life.”

How fortunate he was to have met Zhongli Mingji. He would cherish and protect him with all his heart—how could he ever betray or abandon him?

Falling in love with Zhongli Mingji was the most correct and worthwhile thing he had done in his twenty-three years of life.
