Chapter 48: Brother Shen, Lian’er Is Coming!

The crowd was surprised when Shen Tian gave the Phoenix Feather Hairpin to Little Spirit Fairy.

In their eyes, Little Spirit Fairy was dressed like a man.

So... Master Celestial gave the hairpin to man!?

And the man is looking at Master Celestial with eyes filled with love!

Ssssss!

Everyone had the same mind-blowing idea!

Many people started screaming.

“No! Brother Celestial! You cannot do this!”

“Brother Celestial! I love you so much! How can you like a man!?”

“No one will bless you if you are with another man! That’s not true love!”

“Go away, you pervert! My Brother Celestial is not gay!”

...

Most of the screams came from his female fans.

Shen Tian’s mouth twitched.

Who is gay!?

I’m straight as ever!

And Qin Gao! Why are you looking at me with such a look too!?

You know best what kind of person I am!

Shen Tian felt very tired.

“Stop!”

Shen Tian shouted and hugged Little Spirit Fairy.

Then, he pulled her hairband, and her long hair fell freely.

Soon, everyone recognized Little Spirit Fairy.

“Damn! It was Little Spirit Fairy!”

“Wow, I did not recognize her without her long hair!”

“Little Spirit Fairy disguised as a man and followed Master Celestial? Why?”

“You never heard of the story a few days ago?”

“I heard from my friend that something is going with them...”

Everyone was gossiping about them in the Sacred Spirit Workshop.

Some were envious, while some were doubtful.

Little Spirit Fairy did not feel stress at all. She felt happy!

Brother Shen hugged me in front of so many people!

Is he going to confess to me in front of the crowd?

That is just so embarrassing~

Shen Tian looked at the crowd peacefully.

He said, “First! I’m not gay!

“Second, this fellow here is not a man! She is Little Spirit Fairy.”

Here it comes~

He is going to confess to me~

Little Spirit Fairy felt her heart beating very fast.

...

Then Shen Tian spoke again.

“Third! There is nothing going on between Ling’er and me! I swear on my own master! Please, do not spread rumors!”

After saying his piece, Shen Tian felt very relaxed.

He had finally cleared the gossip.

Ling’er is still a young lady!

If the rumors were to spread, how is she going to get married in the future?

Luckily I’m smart! I made a quick and swift decision!

He let go of Little Spirit Fairy and said, “You are welcome. I’m only doing what I should do.”

Little Spirit Fairy, “???”

So, after all the trouble, you just want to tell me you are not interested in me? Sure! Thank you so much!

At Grand White Grotto-Heaven...

A girl in a white dress was watering the plants in her garden.

She looked very innocent and pure.

What stood out the most was a strand of ahoge on her hair.

She was humming some song, and her ahoge was bouncing around.

“Lah Lah Lah~ Calabash grow~

“When you grow~ Your dad will come~

“Ah~choo! Ah~choo!”

She sneezed out of sudden, and her ahoge stood up too.

Why am I sneezing out of sudden?

Is Brother Shen thinking of me? It must be!

Erm... I’m not by his side now... What if he’s in danger!?

I cannot stay here in the Grotto-Heaven anymore! I need to save him!

I’ll bring him back and marry him!

As long as I’m fast enough, my parents will not catch me!

At the thought of this, the girl could not help but praise her wit.

But what about this calabash?

She fell deep in thought while looking at the growing calabash.

It’s proof of the relationship between Brother Shen and me!

It just germinated a little.

What if when I come back, the seedling has withered?

Oh yeah! I can bring it with me!

Then, she spotted a Nine-Leafed Gladiolus plant her father had planted in a pot.

She pulled the gladiolus plant out and threw it onto the ground. Then, she dug out the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash Seed and put it into the pot carefully.

After all these, she ran out of the garden secretly.

Brother Shen! Lian’er is coming!

On the other side...

Since Shen Tian had already sworn, the crowd believed him.

Swearing to one’s master was a very serious and powerful pledge in the cultivation world.

There was not so much gossip now.

Jiu’er suddenly spoke up beside Shen Tian.

“Master! I felt a super-strong sense of resentment!

“It’s just pure resentment! It’s coming from Miss Ling’er.

“It smells so nice~ Can Jiu’er just take a little? Please~”

“No!” Shen Tian tapped on the rosary bead. “You need to endure through the temptation, or all the efforts would be wasted.”

Shen Tian looked at Little Spirit Fairy worriedly.

It’s not the first time Ling’er shows signs of resentment.

Could Perfected Black Blood really have something to do with it?

But I cannot see what’s wrong!

Curse that stupid evil cultivator!

...

“We are not keeping the other two ores.”

Although Little Spirit Fairy had chosen three Spirit Ores, Shen Tian had only seen the fortuitous opportunity for the cucumber-shaped one.

He had not seen the other two in the images. Thus, he was not sure what was inside them.

Five of the lucky individuals had already gotten their ores opened.

Shen Tian glanced at the remaining 15 individuals and saw that four of them would encounter their fortuitous opportunities in the Sky Spirit Pavilion.

It was one of the best-selling shops in the Myriad Spirit Garden indeed.

Shen Tian led his team and moved toward the Sky Spirit Pavilion.

He had yet to reach the Sky Spirit Pavilion when he saw the red-robbed Shopkeeper Song waiting for him.

There were two banners beside his store. “If we are fated, my services will be free; but if we are not, no amount of gold would fancy me.”

Below the signboard, there was a red banner too.

“Our shop welcomes Master Celestial Shen Aotian to come and assess our ores.”

Shopkeeper Song stood at the entrance and was very happy to see Shen Tian.

He ran toward him and bowed.

“Master Celestial, finally you are here! I missed you so much!”

Shen Tian was stunned!
