Radiant Yang Sect

Bai Ningshuang raised her eyebrows in displeasure when she felt someone was ogling at her body.

It was as if she was being stripped naked by a mere gaze. When she turned her head slightly, she saw a group of men who seemed to be disciples of a sect since they were all wearing what seemed to be a uniform.

She wanted to confront these men but knew that it would bring trouble to the group, especially to her master. Thus, she retracted her gaze and continued walking forward.

Ji Chen had already sensed the gazes of these men just behind them on his disciple.

He felt the need to 'teach' these people with some manner but when he was about to act, they retracted their lecherous gazes.

'That's it?' At the same time, he sent a transmission to his disciple. "Don't do anything rash. I'll deal with anyone who wants to lay a hand on you."

Bai Ningshuang's heart fluttered as she replied also in transmission. "Is that a confession?"

"No. It's the responsibility of a master to his disciple."

Bai Ningshuang only released a "Tsk." through her mouth and did not pester him about it anymore.

Then she added after thinking for a while and making sure the men had left, "Master, I feel strange at their presence. There's a natural attraction coming from my body but a stronger repulsion is also present. Why do I feel this way? Am I cursed?" A trace of nervousness laced in her whisper.

"What do you mean by attraction?" Ji Chen was confused to hear it from her.

Her face slightly turned red as she whispered into an even lower volume, "I also felt this way during the competition in our city. It's like my body seeks their existence, specifically something in their bodies. But somehow, my body does not want to have anything to do with them as if they are its natural nemesis."

Ji Chen widened his eyes hearing such words coming from her as he furtively took a glance around before sending a transmission. "Are, are you in heat?"

"What?!" Bai Ningshuang cried out loud, jolting the others from appreciating the surroundings.

"It's nothing. We're just talking through transmission about something shocking." Ji Chen hurriedly said to everyone.

"Master, if I'm in heat, I will someone in the sect first."

Ji Chen almost choked from his own saliva hearing the shameless and frank reply of his disciple. He glared at her and said in exasperation, "Can you act more like a noble lady? Where did you learn that shameless manner?"

"Don't talk about me. What's with those men? Did they feel the same so they are looking at me?"

Sensing the seriousness and even nervousness from her, Ji Chen tapped her head and smiled gently. "No worries. No one can touch you other than-"

"You?"

"You what? You! Other than you."

"So you admit. How possessive."

They bickered through transmission as the others were unaware of their childish word games.

In a private room of a restaurant, the same group of men consisting of four older men and two younger ones were conversing about Bai Ningshuang.

Their predatory eyes glowed and fluctuations of vigorous energies came out of their bodies.

"I have never encountered someone with so much yin energy hiding in her body." One of them marveled at what he saw earlier.

"She might be a possessor of a rare yin physique!"

"Did you all feel it? Her yin is still in the state of complete purity, untouched." Another said his observation in excitement.

"Young Lord, if you got her purest yin as a supplement to your yang, you will be able to break through to mid-stage Emperor Realm in one swoop. If you use her everyday, you might be able to become a late-stage emperor in just a couple of years before she runs out of her yin."

"Young Lord, it's better to report this to the Sect Master." Another older man hesitated giving their target to their Young Lord as he felt that even a great emperor might benefit from using her.

Their Young Lord glared threateningly at the one who spoke and said in a greedy tone, "You dare? She's mine, not even my father can change that."

"They seem to be not natives of this city. They are also walking towards the Governor Residence. I guess they are here for the competition." The wisest among them said.

"Who cares? As long as that bitch doesn't have a strong backer, I'll get her to kneel before me. Investigate her origins." The man being addressed as Young Lord said arrogantly.

"As you wish, Young Lord."

The four older men were all elders from the Radiant Yang Sect, one of the major forces in Whitedrift City.

Although they were not considered to be part of top three forces in the city in terms of strength, the number of their great emperors and connections enabled them to be at the forefront of influential forces, aside from the Governor Residence.

The Young Lord who the four older men were addressing respectfully was the only son of their Sect Master.

Anything that this man coveted, he would be able to get as long as they could offend the other party. They fully adhered to the 'strong do the eat while the weak is the meat' system.

Ji Chen had no idea that his beloved disciple had been targeted by hooligans as he and his group finally reached the Governor Residence, a simplistic compound with minimal decorations and completely constructed using white materials. Even the pavement and stones lining the pathways had been painted white.

"Is this what heaven looks like?" Ji Chen glanced around before stopping at a group of guards wearing white padded chest plates and white gloves. He really felt that he had arrived in heaven for a moment.

"Stop! Do you have an appointment letter from the Management Council?"

"We're here for the Saint Star Competition."

The guards changed their tone and pointed at a round building to the left of them. "Go there. State that you're here for the Saint Star Competition and they will assist your party."

Ji Chen and his group later learned that the competition would start in five days.

At the same time, they were given keys to small courtyards in the compound as accommodation. Two personnel had also been assigned to assist them.

"Let's move here. It's safer and also cheaper."

The others nodded in agreement. Before entering his own courtyard, he asked Long Zhu to give a Teleportation Talisman to everyone as a precaution. After all, they were staying in a foreign place.
