The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Shen Yan, clad in a blood lotus divine robe, had a serene expression as six maids followed by her side.

She moved with the grace of a lotus flower, arriving unobtrusively during the midst of the Dao Discussion conference, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present.

Six maids, holding baskets of flower petals, continuously scattered them to pave the way.

Shen Yan stepped on the path covered with petals, walking into the middle of the venue.

Such a high-profile entrance at the Dao Discussion conference, coupled with such grandeur, immediately made everyone at the venue frown.

All individuals stopped their discussions, looking curiously at this imposing uninvited guest or whispering to inquire who she was.

Each Dao Discussant present represented the young elite of various major sects, each an expert in maintaining a facade.

However, on the grounds of the Hehuan Sect, everyone present was discreet and restrained, none daring to show off as blatantly as the person before them.

In the crowd, the expressions of siblings Li Muyang and Li Yuechan shifted slightly.

Li Yuechan edged closer to her brother, her nervousness palpable.

"Brother..."

The young girl called out softly, unable to help but grasp her brother's hand.

This was on the grounds of the Hehuan Sect!

If the Holy Maiden of the Blood Lotus Sect made such a high-profile entrance, what did it mean?

Were they done pretending?

If the Hehuan Sect really had resolved to support the Blood Lotus Sect in committing murder, Li Muyang and his companions would have no way out!

Feeling his sister's anxiety, Li Muyang furrowed his brow but still spoke softly.

"Don't panic, let's see how this unfolds."

The Blood Lotus Sect had once been a major power but had been annihilated by the Refinement Demon Sect now.

Even if the Hehuan Sect had once had a close relationship with the Blood Lotus Sect, now that it was destroyed, would the Hehuan Sect, a long-standing neutral sect on the Demon Path, really oppose the Refinement Demon Sect for a fallen Blood Lotus Sect?

This world was ultimately driven by interest.

Especially for a major sect like Hehuan, interests were paramount.

Li Muyang calmly observed the reactions of the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, waiting for her and Shen Yan's performance.

However, upon entering, Shen Yan did not glance at Li Muyang but strode directly to the center of the venue, acting as if she did not know him.

Under the watchful eyes of the attendees, the Young Sect Master of Hehuan Sect rose to greet her, smiling as she invited Shen Yan to sit beside her.

The two equally stunning women, yet with distinct auras, sat together, creating a dazzling and overwhelming beauty.

Watching the puzzled expressions of everyone at the venue, the Young Sect Master of Hehuan Sect gently took Shen Yan's hand while smiling and introduced her to everyone present.

"This is my good friend, Shen Yan, the Holy Maiden of the Blood Lotus Sect. She is here tonight at Lian'er's invitation to attend the ceremony, but unfortunately, she was delayed on the road and did not intend to disturb everyone,"

"Please continue..."

The Young Sect Master of Hehuan Sect smiled and took her seat, signaling those who had been arguing during the discussion to continue.

But Shen Yan's entrance had already disrupted the atmosphere of the venue, and the individuals who had been vehemently arguing, almost ready to come to blows, were now looking at one another, their emotions having plummeted making it hard for them to regain their composure.

The atmosphere of the venue turned somewhat peculiar.

After everyone became aware of Shen Yan's identity, they all simultaneously turned their gaze towards Li Muyang amidst the crowd.

The grievances and revenge between the Blood Lotus Sect and the Refinement Demon Sect had long been known throughout the Cultivation World.

After the Blood Lotus Sect was destroyed, the Refinement Demon Sect had spread the news throughout the Cultivation World, as if afraid others might not know they had settled the score.

Thus, at this moment, when the Holy Maiden of the Blood Lotus Sect made her entrance as the friend of the Young Sect Master of Hehuan Sect, the situation for Li Muyang, a disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect, became particularly delicate.

Everyone turned to look at Li Muyang, and then at the Holy Maiden Shen Yan clad in the blood lotus robe, who had just arrived. The previously lively Dao Discussion Conference hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone tacitly chose to keep quiet and began to watch the spectacle from the sidelines.

Gleeful looks were cast their way; Li Muyang sighed with a bit of a headache.

In such a situation, he had to respond, no matter what—he couldn't keep pretending to be mute and ignoring the situation.

Facing the odd stares from the crowd, Li Muyang quickly stood up, his face as dark as if he had just found out about Shen Yan's arrival at the Hehuan Sect.

"…Young Sect Master, by inviting the Holy Maiden of the Blood Lotus Sect today, do you intend this as an act of revenge for the Blood Lotus Sect?"

In front of this group of young elites from the Cultivation World, Li Muyang's reaction was fierce, his gaze icy cold.

His behavior was very much in line with the style of the Refinement Demon Sect, a major sect of the Demon Path.

Faced with such a fierce interrogation from Li Muyang, the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect just gave a slight smile and shook his head, "Muyang, you misunderstand. Ayan is a good friend of mine, but isn't she also your friend?"

"Although you were on the opposing sides previously, your relationship was quite good in Tianjiao City, wasn't it?"

"In letters with me, Ayan has often praised and mentioned you," Liu Lian'er said gently, smiling softly, her gaze tender.

"Though you and Ayan have become estranged in the end, I believe that enmity is only temporary."

"Moreover, my invitation for Ayan today has no other implications."

"The Dao Discussion Conference is a significant moment in my life, hence I wished to have Ayan, as a good friend, by my side."

"As for the enmity between the Blood Lotus Sect and the Refinement Demon Sect… just as the Hehuan Sect's tradition of handling matters impartially, Lian Er will not interfere," Liu Lian'er stated, looking warmly at the others around, her smile gentle.

"Among the Dao friends present at today's Dao Discussion Conference, there are also those with old grudges and enmities, right? But here in this secluded valley, everyone has momentarily set aside their grievances."

"So, Muyang, you do not need to be anxious. Today we discuss the Dao, not enmities."

The Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, with a charming smile and a tender, enchanting gaze, seemed as if her bright eyes could speak.

Anyone who saw her tender, gentle smile could hardly remain upset.

Not to mention that Li Muyang wasn't really angry; his dark complexion and harsh tone were merely acting.

Having heard Liu Lian'er's gently smiling and tender explanation, Li Muyang scoffed, "If that's the case, I hope the Hehuan Sect continues to uphold your tradition of absolute neutrality and avoid meddling in the matters between our sect and the Blood Lotus Sect."

Although on foreign territory, Li Muyang, now brandishing the Refinement Demon Sect as his banner, had no choice but to put on a brave face.

At least with the banner of the Refinement Demon Sect behind him, he still wielded considerable deterrence.

As a disciple of the Demon Sect, in such circumstances, he had no choice but to bravely uphold his façade to maintain his image.

Brandishing the banner of the Refinement Demon Sect could still make the Elders of the Hehuan Sect exercise caution.

If he showed weakness publicly, he might end up dying even faster.

However, his arrogant and haughty response elicited chuckles and sneers among the other participants at the conference.

Someone whispered,

"Typical of someone from the Refinement Demon Sect…" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Disciples from the Refinement Demon Sect all share the same boastful attitude," another commented.

But Li Muyang's arrogance, in fact, diminished the hostility towards him from others.

At least, by publically challenging the Hehuan Sect so audaciously, Li Muyang had completely offended this Young Sect Master, making it impossible for him to become a Protector.

Now that he was no longer a competitor, others found Li Muyang suddenly much more agreeable.

People now were mostly concerned about whether this Holy Maiden of the Blood Lotus Sect, burdened with deep-seated hatred, would clash with this arrogant and presumptuous disciple of the Demon Sect right there.
