I Have an Omen System

Chapter 354: Chapter 233: Identity Swap

’Daqian is interfering with the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Daoist trial. The situation is getting more and more delicate.’

Xiao Ran’s disguise was simple. He held an Ink-Bone Folding Fan, making no effort to conceal his True Essence Aura.

Because of this, Qin Xuan recognized him easily.

’Wait, something’s not right...’ Thinking it over, Qin Xuan quickly realized something was amiss.

’Such a simple disguise.’

Qin Xuan’s head snapped up to look at Xiao Ran, then at the Ink-Bone Folding Fan in his hand.

In a flash, Qin Xuan pretty much understood the whole situation.

’He’s not Xiao Ran.’

’It’s that bastard Liu Mobai! He’s snuck in too!’

’That guy tricked me back in the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea, but it won’t happen again.’

A bold idea suddenly surfaced in Qin Xuan’s mind.

’If I impersonate the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Daoist, secretly collude with Liu Mobai, and then present the "evidence" of this crime to Zhong Ling... wouldn’t the *real* Daoist of the Cyan Cloud Sect be forced to show himself?’

The more Qin Xuan thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

Xiao Ran had clearly seen Qin Xuan as well, but with his Purple Mansion Cultivation, there was no way he could see through the disguise of the Ten Thousand Forms Blood Talisman.

Their eyes met mid-air, and Qin Xuan offered a charming smile.

Xiao Ran froze, his eyes filled with awe. His gaze grew fervent, as if his eyes were glued to Qin Xuan’s face.

’How could there be a Female Cultivator in this world with such beauty and grace?’

Almost subconsciously, as if a passive skill had been triggered, Xiao Ran’s eyes uncontrollably drifted down to the striking, voluptuous curves of Qin Xuan’s chest.

This subtle but bold action immediately caught the attention of several people nearby.

Liu Yiyi, standing beside Qin Xuan, was filled with contempt. She cursed inwardly and sent a telepathic message, her tone dripping with displeasure.

’Sister Xuan’Er, look at that lecher! How brazen and rude!’

Xiao Ran also immediately realized his blunder, a flash of embarrassment crossing his face.

He gave a dry cough, looked away sheepishly, and picked up his wine cup as if to hide his embarrassment.

Qin Xuan hadn’t expected his charm to be so potent.

"It’s fine. It’s only human. If he likes to look, then let him. It’s not like I’ll lose a pound of flesh over it."

Qin Xuan gently placed his hand on Liu Yiyi’s soft, fair one and smiled reassuringly.

Liu Yiyi was stunned at first by Qin Xuan’s magnanimous words, then a blush quickly spread across her cheeks.

Nearby, Lin Feng frowned slightly upon seeing Xiao Ran’s disrespectful gaze.

She subconsciously glanced down at her own flat chest, secretly made a measuring gesture with her hand, and a flicker of confusion and bewilderment crossed her clear eyes.

’So big, so heavy... Don’t they feel uncomfortable and get in the way during a fight?’

’Disgusting. Men truly are all the same!’

Leng Ningshuang took in both Xiao Ran’s gaffe and Lin Feng’s small gesture. Her delicate brows knitted together, and an undisguised look of disgust appeared on her beautiful face. A cold aura emanated from her as she turned her face away and moved even farther off.

Muuu Yu also showed her disgust, her aloof aura practically screaming "stay away."

Zhao Yan, being the friendly type, took the initiative to step forward. He cupped his fist and said, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask your name?"

Xiao Ran replied, "I am Ye Lan of the Cyan Cloud Sect!"

"Your surname is Ye?"

Zhao Yan’s body jolted. He seemed to recall a rumor he had once heard his master speak of back in the Sect. He excitedly sent a telepathic message.

"Are... are you perhaps the Prince Imperial who took third place in the great Star Ruins competition...?"

Before Zhao Yan could finish, Xiao Ran cut him off.

"That’s just an empty title. You’re too kind, Fellow Daoist."

Xiao Ran said humbly, "And how should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"

"I am Zhao Yan, a True Disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect," Zhao Yan said, now much more reserved.

"A pleasure to meet you, Fellow Daoist Zhao Yan. And these ladies are?" Xiao Ran casually tried to steer the conversation toward Qin Xuan, wanting an introduction.

But Lin Feng stepped to the side, perfectly blocking Xiao Ran’s line of sight.

Leng Ningshuang, who had originally been scornful of Xiao Ran, had a subtle shift in her expression when she heard his surname was Ye.

’Could he be the Chief True Disciple from the main sect?’

At this thought, the contempt on Leng Ningshuang’s face vanished in an instant. Her cold aura dissipated completely, replaced by a faint eagerness to meet Xiao Ran.

"I am Leng Ningshuang, the fourth True Disciple of Profound Ice Cliff. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ye."

"Muuu Yu of the Celestial Secret Tower. A pleasure, Fellow Daoist Ye."

Even Muuu Yu, the Female Cultivator who had been as high and mighty as an iceberg, took the initiative to step forward, her eyes lowered as she demurely greeted Xiao Ran.

In an instant, Xiao Ran was swarmed by the Female Cultivators, completely surrounded.

They twittered like a flock of songbirds, completely devoid of their usual Fairy-like composure. Even Zhao Yan was squeezed out of the circle.

The honest and simple Shi Jian was dumbfounded. "So, Fellow Daoist Muuu and Fellow Daoist Leng... they have such a passionate side to them."

Zhao Yan sighed and slung an arm around Shi Jian’s shoulders.

"Old Shi, this is reality. See that? We only get to admire the sweet faces of these Fairies. But Fellow Daoist Ye, just with his status, gets to taste how spicy they really are."

"Spicy?" Shi Jian asked, confused.

"Never mind. You wouldn’t get it anyway," Zhao Yan said, waving his hand dismissively.

Qin Xuan laughed to himself, unable to help but shake his head.

’These female True Disciples from the Golden Core Sects all look as pure as jade, and they talk a big game about being aloof.’

’In reality, they’re less honest than the girls from the Holy Sect’s Yihong Pavilion.’

’They’re all just out here to make a deal. They should at least be honest about what they’re selling!’

...

Seeing that the guests had mostly arrived, Vice Palace Master Zhong Ling flew gracefully onto the floating crystal jade platform in the center. Her lake-blue palace gown accentuated her voluptuous figure, making her all the more captivating.

"Talented young heroes, beautiful Fairies, thank you all for gracing our Water Mirror Palace’s matchmaking assembly with your presence."

Zhong Ling pressed down lightly with a jade-like hand, and the venue instantly fell silent.

Her soft, enchanting voice carried clearly to every corner.

"As is tradition, we’ll first invite the male cultivators who are seeking a partner to come on stage. Please state your Sect and cultivation level. If there is someone here who has already caught your eye, you may also speak freely. Afterward, it will be up to the hearts of our Fairies."

Zhong Ling’s enchanting phoenix eyes swept over the male cultivators below the stage.
