Chapter 1017: Chapter 1044: I’ve Taken a Fancy to You! (Three More) Chapter 1017: Chapter 1044: I’ve Taken a Fancy to You! (Three More) The person who had pushed Yang Zhen away was dressed in a large red robe, looking like he was performing in a grand opera. With a sinister expression and a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, he provocatively stared at Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen was truly driven somewhat out of patience by these fools. How had such people managed to survive until now? Why hadn’t the heavens sent down a Black Thunder of apocalypse to take care of these bastards?

Seeing the astonished expression on Yang Zhen’s face, all the people from the Black Lotus Sanctuary showed a mocking look, waiting for Yang Zhen to explode.

Both the Blue Bird Saintess and Qi Yunling were also taken aback. Seeing Yang Zhen being pushed away, they both frowned, clearly somewhat annoyed.

Bertai acted as if he hadn’t seen Yang Zhen being bullied at all, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, yet his eyes occasionally stealthily glanced at Yang Zhen, clearly wanting to see how Yang Zhen would embarrass himself in front of the people from the Black Lotus Sanctuary.

It was obvious that the Black Lotus Sanctuary and the Blue Bird Sect did not get along — something that had been clear to everyone present when the Blue Bird Sect appeared.

Now, seeing Yang Zhen being pushed away by a disciple of the Black Lotus Sanctuary, everyone gasped and watched intently, waiting for the situation to further deteriorate.

Clearly, the Black Lotus Sanctuary had come with bad intentions, and it seemed like they were looking for trouble and might indeed start a fight.

However, in such a situation, if a fight were to break out, the Blue Bird Sect and the Aurora Sanctuary were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

For a moment, quite a few people started worrying about the people from the Blue Bird Sect and Aurora Sanctuary.

But as much as they worried, everyone was a practitioner after all, who didn’t have a temper? Seeing Yang Zhen being pushed around and provoked this way, it would be difficult for anyone to bear. People just wanted to see how long Yang Zhen could endure.

The Blue Bird Saintess didn’t know Yang Zhen’s background. She frowned and wanted to speak, but Qi Yunling secretly shook her head, signaling for the Blue Bird Saintess to stay calm and not rush.

Clearly, Qi Yunling and the others also wanted to see if Yang Zhen could endure such bullying.

Just when everyone eagerly waited for Yang Zhen to retaliate, Yang Zhen suddenly put on a smile and clasped his hands at the disciple from the Black Lotus Sanctuary who had pushed him, saying, “I’m sorry, fellow Daoist, it was my fault for blocking your way. I’ll step aside now.”

Hearing this, seeing the harmless smile on Yang Zhen’s face, not only the surrounding crowd but also the disciple from the Black Lotus Sanctuary was stunned, looking at Yang Zhen dumbfounded, temporarily unsure how to continue causing trouble.

Yang Zhen’s face was all humble smiles, and he truly stepped aside, hiding beside Bertai, causing Bertai to look on with even more disdain, snorting coldly at the Black Lotus Sanctuary disciple who had pushed Yang Zhen and chastising, “Mei Xiang, are you looking to start a fight?”

Mei Xiang, looking proud, glanced at Yang Zhen and laughed loudly, waving his hand as he said, “Oh, with the strong ones from Aurora Sanctuary and Blue Bird Sect here, how dare I act rashly. I’m just here to greet the Blue Bird Saintess, as I heard that a Saint Realm master from Blue Bird Sect disappeared near the Gate of Heavenly Emptiness. My condolences, Blue Bird Saintess.”

At this, Mei Xiang and his group all showed a mocking expression and burst into laughter.

“You!” Qi Yunling glared at Mei Xiang with a seething anger, about to speak, but was stopped by the Blue Bird Saintess.

The Blue Bird Saintess took a deep breath, walked up to Mei Xiang and his group, and after a long while, finally said, “Get lost!”

Mei Xiang and his group’s faces changed, staring at the Blue Bird Saintess. Seeing the long sword in her hand, they became somewhat sheepish, snorted coldly, and backed away.

Disgust flitted across Qi Yunling’s face as she stared at the retreating figures of Mei Xiang and his group, cursing, “Are these bastards idiots? Why do they have to come over and get scolded at such a time?”

At this, before anyone could speak, Qi Yunling glared at Yang Zhen standing behind Bertai and said, “What’s with you? Getting bullied like this and still apologizing to others? I really misjudged you.”

The surrounding crowd looked at Yang Zhen with some disdain, all giving him the cold shoulder.

Yang Zhen, not caring about these looks, glanced at Mei Xiang and asked, “Is that guy called Mei Xiang?”

“So what if he’s called Mei Xiang? You didn’t hit him just now; are you planning to strike back now?” Bertai, his face full of contempt, stared at Yang Zhen, becoming increasingly enshrouded in disgust.

Yang Zhen grinned and shook his head, “Of course, I won’t fight back, I just want to remember this guy’s name.”

“Coward!” Bote snorted coldly and turned his head away, clearly ashamed to associate with someone like Yang Zhen.

The Blue Bird Saintess looked at Yang Zhen with a peculiar expression, a hint of confusion flashing across her face, and asked, “Is this gentleman not a descendant of the Aurora Sanctuary?”

Qi Yunling recounted encountering Yang Zhen to the Blue Bird Saintess, who suddenly realized and then knew the ‘origin’ of Yang Zhen!

In the crowd, many people issued hisses, looking at Yang Zhen with faces full of disdain.

Yet among the crowd, quite a few people showed surprise on their faces, mumbling to themselves, “Why does this guy’s back and profile look so much like someone?”

Hearing this person’s words, the people around were momentarily stunned and asked in astonishment, “Do you feel that way too?”

“Like who?”

“Shh, impossible, that guy must have died inside the Gate of Heavenly Emptiness already.”

…

Observing the surrounding people’s glances turning somewhat contemptuous, Yang Zhen waved his hand, carried a stool over to Ming Luan’s side, placed it down, grinned at Ming Luan, and carelessly sat down, intending to keep Ming Luan company.

Seeing Yang Zhen actually provoke Ming Luan on his own, everyone was shocked, even the Blue Bird Saintess showed a strange expression. She was just about to speak when Qi Yunling beside her said, “Yang Tieniu, this guy really isn’t afraid of dying, provoking even Ming Luan. But who cares, after Ming Luan gets angry, it’s his own fault.”

The Blue Bird Saintess gave a wry smile and said, “Although the Blue Bird is generally gentle, it only gets close to people it is familiar with. If Yang gets too close, there might be danger.”

“I, for one, hope that Yang Tieniu encounters some danger, so he can learn his lesson and stop being oblivious to his own position.”

Bote showed a schadenfreude expression on his face, finding it amusing to watch Yang Zhen boldly sitting on the stool and even planning to chat with Ming Luan.

The Blue Bird Saintess shook her head and said, “Ming Luan has hurt people not just once or twice. Anyone who tries to get close is seen as an enemy by it, Yang… this… what?”

Suddenly, Ming Luan pressed its enormous head down, staring at Yang Zhen with a face full of fury.

However, Yang Zhen nonchalantly waved his hand at Ming Luan, “Don’t be so stingy. Since both of us are neglected souls, why not keep each other company?”

After saying that, Yang Zhen leaned against Ming Luan in front of a stunned Blue Bird Saintess and began to doze off.

“Impossible!”

Among the group of female disciples brought by the Blue Bird Saintess, the majority were taken aback by this scene, their faces filled with astonishment.

Even the Blue Bird Saintess herself showed a surprised expression, murmuring, “Ming Luan is an ancient saint spirit tamed by my master, up to now only accepting my master and me. How could it accept this Yang Tieniu… how is this possible?”

Yang Zhen piled up some feathers on Ming Luan’s body, making a pillow-like shape, and lazily lay down.

All the attendees collectively gasped in astonishment!

“Mei Xiang, right? I, Sao Saint, have taken a fancy to you,” Yang Zhen murmured to himself, closing his eyes to doze off!
