Chapter 171 Cultivation Gap
Chapter 171 Cultivation Gap
"Now, can we set off for the Spiritual Food Hall?"
Cao Ze's question, like a melodious ancient spell, echoed in the cultivation cave.
Fan Ziyan chuckled, like the sound of an immortal breaking through the air, "Of course, let's go!"
A moment later, two people wearing robes and holding spiritual weapons stepped onto the cloud steps leading to the Lingshan Hall hand in hand.
After having a hearty meal, Cao Ze rode his flying sword and sent Fan Ziyan to the Ode to Joy Peak in Xianle Valley.
"Brother Steward, Guan Shanyue and Sister Qingyao are still in seclusion practicing and have not come out yet."
"Then, are you willing to go with me to Zixiao Tea House to have some tea?"
Fan Ziyan's brows were shy, like a fairy flower bud about to bloom. She smiled gently and asked about Cao Ze.
Her posture at this moment made Cao Ze secretly praise her for her unparalleled beauty. Even though she was the leader in the slightly plump world, she could not conceal her extraordinary fairy-like appearance.
"Never mind. I have other important matters to attend to."
Thinking of the agreement with the Nine Nether Fairy Zhao Jiangyue, Cao Ze smiled indifferently and politely declined the invitation.
"Well, then you should be careful."
Although Fan Ziyan was reluctant to leave, she was not clingy. She gave Cao Ze an affectionate kiss and then left.
"Farewell."
Cao Ze called out, and flew into the air on his flying sword, leaving Fan Ziyan waving behind him.
"This girl is really charming!"
Cao Ze secretly admired in his heart, then urged the flying sword to rush forward.
In the Zixiao Tea House in the fairyland of Biluo, Zhao Jiangyue had already booked an elegant tea banquet. She was waiting for Cao Ze's arrival with a nervous and expectant mood.
The reason why Zhao Jiangyue invited Cao Ze was because of the oath she made at the Fairyland Forum two months ago - if she failed to find a fairy partner within three months, she would resign from the position of Fairy Alliance Deacon and publicly apologize to all the immortal cultivators.
Now that the deadline is approaching, Zhao Jiangyue, who has not yet found a partner, is extremely anxious. She then thinks of turning to Cao Ze for help and asks him to pretend to be her immortal partner.
The reason why she chose Cao Ze was that over the past two months, she gradually developed a deep affection for Cao Ze.
However, due to the huge gap in the cultivation levels of the two parties, Zhao Jiangyue never revealed his feelings.
At this moment, Cao Ze's gentle voice came to Zhao Jiangyue's ears: "Senior Sister Jiangyue, you came so early today."
Looking up and seeing Cao Ze's tall figure and the warm smile on his face, Zhao Jiangyue felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"The Immortal Alliance doesn't have much business today, so I came here early."
"I have prepared some spiritual food for you. Do you need anything else?"
Smilingly inviting Cao Ze to take a seat, Zhao Jiangyue asked with concern.
"No need, I just had the spiritual meal, thank you, Senior Sister."
Cao Ze took the spiritual tea handed over by Zhao Jiangyue and responded politely.
"Between you and me, there's no need to thank each other."
Gently sipping the spiritual tea in her hand, Zhao Jiangyue smiled charmingly, with a different light flashing in her eyes.
After the two chatted about the Immortal Alliance for a while, Cao Ze noticed that Zhao Jiangyue seemed to be hiding something, so he asked her directly.
"Senior Sister Jiang Yue, you invited me here today, I'm afraid it's not just to discuss the Immortal Alliance, right?"
Seeing Zhao Jiangyue looking worried, Cao Ze decided to ask directly what happened.
"Yes, it is indeed related to the Immortal Alliance."
"Cao Ze, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can play the role of my immortal partner for a while."
Zhao Jiangyue's tone was firm and her words were full of earnestness, which almost made Cao Ze drop the spiritual tea in his hand.
"Senior Sister, this matter is absolutely not a joke!"
Cao Ze was shocked, and thought to himself that he had always regarded Zhao Jiangyue as his elder and had never had any affection for her like a child.
"I'm not kidding you!"
"Cao Ze, I sincerely ask you to do me this favor."
Zhao Jiangyue realized the negligence in her words and quickly added.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't tell you the details."
"Actually, I just want you to be my immortal partner temporarily, just to prepare for the upcoming Immortal Alliance Conference."
Zhao Jiangyue smiled slightly awkwardly and explained the reason to Cao Ze.
After listening to Zhao Jiangyue's explanation, Cao Ze immediately understood that this recognized beauty in the fairy world wanted to use him to resist the discussions about her single status at the Fairy Alliance Conference.
"Senior Sister Jiang Yue, I already understand your intentions."
"But I'm sorry, I can't promise you that."
Although Zhao Jiangyue was a kind person and had a good chat with him, Cao Ze knew that this matter was of great importance and naturally would not agree easily.
"Why?"
"Am I, Zhao Jiangyue, not beautiful enough?"
"Will pretending to be my immortal partner make you lose face?"
Zhao Jiangyue was surprised by Cao Ze's refusal. She ignored the gap in cultivation between them and only wanted to get Cao Ze's help.
"Senior Sister Jiang Yue, I didn't mean to offend you."
"It's just that my reputation in the fairy world is quite high at the moment. If this matter gets out, it will probably cause a lot of inconvenience to my practice."
Cao Ze explained that he was well-known in the fairy world for his heroic deeds of slaying demons and eliminating evil, and he was even more notable for his power to control a huge fairy sect.
If word of his fake romance with Zhao Jiangyue were to spread at this time, it would definitely cause an uproar and might even affect his path of cultivation.
After hearing this, Zhao Jiangyue suddenly realized what Cao Ze was worried about.
"Cao Ze, how about this, we try to cooperate for a while?"
After thinking for a moment, a cunning light flashed in Zhao Jiangyue's eyes, and he made a new suggestion to Cao Ze.
