Chapter 532: 531. Great Match

Chen Wentian looked around to make sure that no one was aware of what had transpired.

His other disciples were sitting in front of them and busy watching the duels. There were some glances backward but all they saw was Lin Qingcheng leaning against him with her eyes closed. Although it was an intimate scene, they thought nothing of it. They probably were wishing to be in her place at that moment.

He shooed them away, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary. He had just done something very risky. If Lin Qingcheng had not been able to maintain her façade, it would have been a great embarrassment for them both. But she had so everything was alright and the danger of being caught only added to the thrill.

Beyond their section of the stands, there were some disapproving expressions from nearby immortals. These people had no possibility of knowing what he had just done. He wasn’t quite sure. Perhaps they were jealous of his amazing disciples.

He stared them down one by one, silently telling them to mind their own business. All turned away obediently except for one, a female immortal he recognized.

“Can I help you?” He asked, sending his voice over through spiritual energy.

His recipient was a tall, regal woman with sleek black hair. She was older but still beautiful and her age only enhanced her noble aura. Except for the female immortals of the Virtuous Order, she was perhaps the most attractive… not that he knew anything about it because he wasn’t attracted to old people.

Immortal Phoenix Legend Shi Shi eyed him sternly like a teacher to a naughty student, “Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian… I didn’t expect this is how you allow your disciples to behave.”

As she spoke, he couldn’t help but focus on her smooth jaw and her slender neck. Her complexion was flawless apart from a few wrinkles around her eyes and her high cheeks.

“Ahem.” He coughed awkwardly, “Hello to you too, Lord Shi Shi. Have you been well? I see you haven’t aged one bit since we last met.”

Shi Shi snorted, “I had thought you were better than this.”

“Huh?” He replied.

“At the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis, you stood up to so many powerful people for the sake of your disciples. It was really something. Really inspiring. If I had been in your position then, I could not have done the same. But… seeing you like this; I thought you were better than this.”

Chen Wentian scratched his head, unsure what to make of her words. There seemed to be some hidden message or underlying meaning that he couldn’t quite grasp.

“Are you talking about her?” He said, pointing to Lin Qingcheng who was still slumped against him, “She is my prime disciple. What’s wrong with her?”

Shi Shi crossed her arms, clearly peeved, “I know you care about your disciples but they are not children nor are they your equals. Do you have any dignity as an immortal? The master is above while the disciple is below. This is the natural order of things. What you let your disciples get away with… you shouldn’t treat them like that!”

“I don’t really care. I will treat my disciples however I want.”

“You should care!” She shot back, “Do you know the number of ridiculous rumors flying around about you? They say you sleep with all of your disciples, that your sect is nothing but an excuse to find pretty girls to warm your bed. They say you even orchestrated the demise of Immortal Frost Diamond Murong Aiyin in order to obtain Long Yifei and the thousands of untouched beauties of Glacier Palace. Now you are acting like this in broad daylight, like a frivolous scoundrel. Your reputation is almost completely ruined!”

“Oh…” He opened his mouth and then closed it.

He knew the gist of the rumors. He didn’t care about them before but something about Shi Shi made him concerned for the first time. It was as if he cared about how she thought of him, just a tiny bit.

“Well. As an immortal, you shouldn’t believe in idle rumors and lies. You should look at the facts and let them speak for themselves. I have brought nine disciples with me to the Convocation of Swords. Do you know how many disciples I have in total? Eleven. If I was as the rumors describe, why would I have so few disciples? Let me ask you, how many disciples have you brought today?”

She replied quickly, “I have brought twenty-six.”

“Out of that number, how many do you expect to enter the Forest of Swords?” He asked.

“It all goes well, there should be at least five.”

“Only five?”

“Five is already very good!” Shi Shi retorted with a surprising amount of vigor.

Chen Wentian shrugged with his hands, “Well, I’m sure five is very good. As for me, I expect all nine of my disciples to enter the forest.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. How can all of them make it?”

“They can make it because my disciples are all talented and I provide the best cultivation resources and methods. I spoil my disciples because they deserve it.” He said.

“You don’t need to boast. It is unbecoming.”

“You don’t believe me? Let’s make a bet.”

Shi Shi shook her head, “Let’s not. You helped me and my disciples the last time around. I was able to get out of marrying my disciples to the Rainbow Canyon Temple thanks to the information you provided. I was hoping our two sects could have a friendly relationship and bets have a way of getting in the way of that.”

“Ah… not even a friendly bet?”

She answered with a glare but this didn’t dissuade him.

“You expect to get five disciples into the forest. I expect nine. Let’s bet on the over-under. Loser owes the winner a friendly favor.” He insisted.

Shi Shi’s glare increased in severity if that was even possible, “Let’s be serious. I didn’t find you to make idle bets. I wanted to thank you for your help and I wanted to do something for you in return.”

“Oh?” He asked, interested in what she had to offer.

He had indeed helped her though he had not done much. He had merely leaked the tidbit of information that two disciples of Rainbow Canyon Temple that had caused the scandal were in fact sleeping with each other. Using this, Shi Shi had been able to make a formal complaint to the Four Kings and get the marriages canceled, saving her disciples from a life of shame.

Shi Shi’s eyes softened when she spoke again, “I have a way to dispel all the rumors about you so that you may regain your honor and repair your reputation. Are you interested?”

“Depends.”

“It’s simple. Your disciples are not young. As their master, you are responsible for important matters concerning their life and happiness.”

“What?” Chen Wentian asked, having no idea what she was talking about.

She continued, “You can easily dispel all of these nasty rumors if disciples marry. Have they received any marriage proposals yet?”

“What?” This time, he was quite stunned.

“Listen, I have this talented disciple named Gao Ren.” Shi Shi said brightly, “He is thirty-five this year. He is my brightest star at this Convocation of Swords. I think he will be a great match for your disciple, Wu Qianyu.”

“What? No! Absolutely Not!”
