C341 Infatuation

"Duanmu Kuang smiled faintly and retracted his gaze. He ignored the hostile gazes of the people from the Blaze Sect as he walked towards the spectating area of the Five Mountain Sect.

At this moment, all the higher ups of the Five Mountain Sect who had come to participate in the grand event had arrived. From the Sect Master Zhong Zhenyue to the dozen or so elders of the Five Mountain Sect, all of them were sitting there and chatting.

Behind the higher ups were the disciples of the Five Mountain Sect. The true disciples, core disciples, inner sect disciples, and outer sect disciples were lined up in an orderly manner. It was very strict. The core disciples stood at the front, while the outer sect disciples stood at the back.

"Haha, You little brat, you're finally here!"

Duanmu Kuang's arrival had also attracted the attention of many people from the Five Mountain Sect, especially the higher ups who were sitting at the front. Before he even got close, someone shouted at him.

Duanmu Kuang looked over and saw the Seventh Elder waving at him, signaling him to go over. The old man's face was smiling like a flower. He looked very happy.

The other higher-ups of the sect were also looking at him, including Zhong Zhenyue. There was a smile on his face. Many of them immediately used their Divine Senses to check Duanmu Kuang's body. After that, the smile on their faces became even wider, and they nodded their heads in satisfaction.

This scene caused Duanmu Kuang to be stunned. Why did these people look like they were waiting for him? How did the higher ups of the sect know that he would come?

One had to know that Duanmu Kuang's participation in the Five Sect Grand Competition was decided by himself. The sect didn't ask him to come back and participate in the competition, but now, all the higher ups were looking at him with that kind of expression. It was as if they were waiting for him. Of course, he was shocked.

However, Duanmu Kuang didn't pay too much attention to the gazes of these people, because at this moment, he felt a familiar gaze on his body, making him feel very warm.

He recovered very quickly. His eyes swept past the Seventh Elder and the others, and swept towards the disciples behind him.

As for the disciples of the Five Mountain Sect who were standing there, they were all startled. Following the Seventh Elder's shout, all of them turned their heads, and their eyes fell upon Duanmu Kuang with a swoosh.

These gazes came from all the disciples of the Five Mountain Sect. Some of them were outer sect disciples, while some were inner sect disciples. Of course, the most intense ones were the core disciples and true disciples.

This was because almost all of the core disciples had been beaten up by Duanmu Kuang. Back then, he had caused havoc in the Heroic Meeting, causing all the core disciples present to look for their teeth on the ground. He had formed a grudge with many of them, so these people naturally paid attention to him at the first possible moment.

As for the true disciples, they were just curious. Everyone knew that there was a true disciple who had been promoted due to an exception. His talent was astonishing, but other than Wu Yue, many people had never seen him before.

Of course, among all the gazes, one of them was different from the others. That gaze was filled with gentleness, and it was filled with deep concern, as well as deep longing.

It was Zhong Lingyan. She had also noticed Duanmu Kuang at the first moment and looked over. Naturally, the two of them looked at each other, and it seemed as if sparks were going to be created when their eyes met in midair.

It had been half a year since they last met. It was not only Duanmu Kuang who missed him. Zhong Lingyan also missed him very much. Every day and night, she would inadvertently think of him. She missed his smile, missed his goodness, missed every minute and second of being with him.

She even often felt that it was hard for her to sleep because that silly boy that made her happy and worried was not by her side.

At this moment, Zhong Lingyan was standing in the front row. Although she was in the crowd, it made people feel isolated and elegant.

She was standing side by side with the other true disciples. She wore a pure white veil that made her look like a snow lotus at the peak of Sky Mountain. She stood out like a crane among chickens!

At this moment, Duanmu Kuang could not help but be stunned. The beautiful woman didn't change, and Zhong Lingyan was still as beautiful as before. Especially that pair of eyes that shone like stars, they were filled with deep affection and honey, making one feel intoxicated.

He didn't move at all, looking at the woman in front of him, forgetting everything. Even the Seventh Elder kept waving at him, calling him over. Duanmu Kuang didn't seem to see it, he was deeply immersed in it.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? I called you over, did you hear me?" Seventh Elder immediately became anxious and urged him.

In fact, the reason why they, the higher ups, knew that Duanmu Kuang would come was because... It was because of Chen Tong's report. Furthermore, Chen Tong also mentioned Duanmu Kuang's cultivation base along the way. He also reported all the progress he had made in the past six months.

Without a doubt, in just half a year's time, he had advanced from the Early Essence Opening Stage to the Great Perfection of Essence Opening Stage. This was an incomparably shocking achievement, and it almost shocked all the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect.

Such a rapid speed of improvement had undoubtedly exceeded the imagination of many people.

Therefore, when these people learned that Duanmu Kuang was coming, they were all looking forward to seeing the stars and the moon. Apart from some elders who had never seen Duanmu Kuang, they all wanted to see this disciple with astonishing talent, and most of the higher ups wanted to investigate his body condition. They were afraid that his advancement would cause instability in his foundation if he advanced too quickly.

Without a doubt, the results of the inspection made the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect very satisfied. Duanmu Kuang's various indicators were extraordinary, his blood and Qi were exuberant, and his Yuan Qi was stable. There was no problem with his foundation being unstable.

Such an inspection result naturally made them happy. However, this fellow seemed to have been possessed by an evil spirit at this moment. He stood there in a daze and did not move. Even the Seventh Elder called out to him once again. He didn't respond. This made all the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect speechless.

At this moment, it wasn't just the Five Mountain Sect. Even the people from the few big sects in the vicinity looked over. Many of them were laughing and discussing in low voices. Naturally, they wouldn't say anything good.

The Seventh Elder was really anxious. Duanmu Kuang didn't pay any attention to him. If it was during normal days, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the leader of the All Heroes Meeting, as well as the people from the various major powers, were all here. A junior actually ignored the words of an elder. This wasn't just a disgrace to him. It was also related to the reputation of the entire Five Mountain Sect.

He shouted loudly. This time, his voice was much louder than before. He shouted at Duanmu Kuang, "You little brat, hurry up and come here. Are you possessed? What are you standing there for?"

At the same time, he turned his head and followed Duanmu Kuang's gaze. He wanted to see what this little guy was looking at. How could he be so engrossed in it? In the end... Seventh Elder was immediately stunned, and his jaw dropped!

Following Duanmu Kuang's gaze, he saw Zhong Lingyan. That little girl was also looking at each other in a daze. The two of them looked at each other and their gazes were thick. They completely ignored everyone present.

This... Seventh Elder did not know what to say. It seemed that the little guy was stunned. It was because he saw his little lover. The matter between Duanmu Kuang and Zhong Lingyan was not a secret in Five Mountain Sect. He had naturally heard of it.

Zhong Zhenyue frowned. When he saw Duanmu Kuang's pig like appearance, he didn't even need to look back to know what was going on. However, when he saw that his daughter was also infatuated with him, he was speechless.

This matter was related to his daughter, and it was in such a public place. Zhong Zhenyue didn't want to say anything. He just sighed and closed his eyes. He really did not see it, and even pretended not to know. It was really hard to not let others notice his strange behavior. It was the Sect Master of the Five Mountain Sect, who was known as the number one person in the five sects.

As for the other disciples of the Five Mountain Sect, many of them also noticed that Duanmu Kuang was looking at Zhong Lingyan. This was because it was too obvious. That guy didn't even blink his eyes. His eyes were staring straight at Zhong Lingyan, making it difficult for others not to notice him.

Many people knew about the two of them, but to be able to see their little lover in such a trance, it made people gasp in amazement.

At this moment, many people wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to laugh out loud. They could only bitterly hold it in. Their bodies trembled, forming an incomparably strange and funny scene.

"Uh..." Duanmu Kuang finally came back to his senses. He was startled by Seventh Elder's loud shout, and he immediately woke up and replied, "Seventh Elder, I'll be right there."

When he raised his head, he found that the people around him were looking at him. Their eyes were filled with surprise and surprise.

"Cough cough..." Duanmu Kuang felt awkward. He rubbed his nose and tried to cover it up. After that, he quickly ran over to the elders of Five Mountain Sect and greeted them.
