Chapter 199: Daring to Ask Immortal Maiden Le'er's Name
"If it truly is an immortal, it is understandable that I would not see her, but I am a human and should see the human world clearly!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Cui Geng stood up from his seat. He had drunk so much wine that his steps were a little unsteady.
"I cannot see her, yet I want to see her. The more I cannot see her, the more I want to see her!"
"Today, I, Cui Geng, will go see this Immortal Maiden Le'er! I will ask her name!"
After saying that, Cui Geng staggered out of the pavilion without a word.
The middle-aged scholar quickly got up and chased after him, calling out, "Elder Brother Cui, don't be rash! Don't be rash!"
When the others heard this, they also felt that something was wrong.
If it was just an ordinary woman, Cui Geng could do as he pleased. However, this Immortal Maiden Le'er was somewhat mysterious.
If he were to act presumptuously, it might lead to trouble.
So everyone stood up and followed.
Qing Chen looked at their backs and shook his head slightly.
The Immortal Maiden Le'er cultivated the Path of Joyful Spirit and was extremely sensitive to the emotions of others. Cui Geng was filled with arrogance and drunkenness, and his aura was very strong. It was unlikely he would succeed.
If it were someone who cultivated a pure heart and few desires, and had a clear mind, there might be a chance.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a loud shout from outside.
"Today, I, Cui Geng, will dare to ask Immortal Maiden Le'er's name!"
The voice was like rolling thunder, instantly reaching everyone in the courtyard.
In the pavilion closest to Cui Geng, someone sneered, "Who is this person? He is truly arrogant. How can he dare to ask Immortal Maiden Le'er's name?"
"Yes, Immortal Maiden Le'er has a pure heart and few desires. She does not reveal her name easily. Who is this person? He is simply shameless!"
However, most people remained silent. Those who could come here were from extraordinary backgrounds, and there were very few people who would casually offend others.
Everyone was waiting to see how Cui Geng would be dealt with.
Cui Geng stood in front of the pavilion where Immortal Maiden Le'er was, his face flushed from drinking, and his eyes a little blurry. However, he was determined to see her.
He had cultivated for many years and was confident in his cultivation. Although he was a little drunk, it did not affect his strength.
Therefore, he was fearless.
"Immortal Maiden Le'er, I, Cui Geng, sincerely ask for your name!"
Another loud shout echoed, even more powerful than before.
At this moment, a faint voice came from the pavilion.
"You have a strong aura and are filled with impurities. It is not suitable to see me."
The voice was ethereal and detached, like the murmur of a clear spring, instantly soothing the listener's heart.
However, Cui Geng was not a pure-hearted person, so he could not feel the full effect.
Upon hearing this, his expression changed slightly. He felt that the other person was being condescending.
"I have cultivated for many years, and my heart is as firm as a rock. How can I be called 'full of impurities'?"
He was a little angry and unleashed a wave of true energy from his body.
This wave of true energy was very strong, like a turbulent river, instantly filling the entire courtyard.
Many people felt a chill in their hearts. The strength of this person was truly extraordinary.

"If you are not full of impurities, why is your heart full of anger?" The voice in the pavilion became fainter.
"This is..." Cui Geng was taken aback. He had just been angry. Could it be that the other person could sense his emotions?
He quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, his face a little pale.
"Immortal Maiden Le'er, I have no anger in my heart. Please see me."
He forcefully suppressed his anger, but his emotions were still turbulent.
This attempt to suppress emotions was actually a form of emotional fluctuation.
The voice in the pavilion sighed softly.
"You have suppressed your emotions, but your heart is even more agitated. It is still not suitable to see me."
Cui Geng's expression changed completely. He felt as if he was being seen through.
The person in the pavilion could clearly perceive his emotional changes!
This was extraordinary!
Could this Immortal Maiden Le'er be truly cultivating the Path of Joyful Spirit?
He was a little shaken, but the alcohol in his system made him unwilling to give up.
"Immortal Maiden Le'er, I only want to see you. Even if you don't tell me your name, I just want to see you!"
He was being stubborn now. He had already gone so far, and if he left without seeing her, it would be too humiliating.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the pavilion.
"If you persist, don't blame me for being impolite."
Cui Geng's expression hardened. He had already reached this point, and there was no turning back.
He unleashed his true energy again, this time even stronger, like a roaring tiger, charging towards the pavilion.
"I want to see what kind of impoliteness you have!"
He was filled with arrogance and wanted to break through the pavilion's defenses with force.
However, just as his true energy touched the pavilion, he suddenly felt a strange force blocking him.
This force was not strong, but it was extremely agile, like a slippery fish, instantly dissolving his true energy.
Cui Geng's eyes narrowed. He was an expert, and he could naturally sense the strangeness of this force.
This force was not a simple defense. It was subtly guiding his true energy away.
He increased his output of true energy, wanting to break through this barrier.
However, the strange force also increased, becoming more and more agile, constantly dissolving his true energy.
No matter how much true energy he unleashed, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly disappearing.
Cui Geng's face turned pale. He realized that this force was not something he could contend with.
This was a technique that could deflect his true energy. It was too profound!
He felt a chill in his heart. What kind of cultivation was this Immortal Maiden Le'er?
He was a top-notch expert among the younger generation, but he could not even touch the corner of her clothes.
This was too shocking!
He stopped unleashing his true energy and stared at the pavilion, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The other people who were watching were also shocked.
They could clearly see that Cui Geng's true energy was like a flood, rushing towards the pavilion, but it was instantly absorbed.
It was as if there was an invisible black hole in front of the pavilion, swallowing all true energy.
"This... What kind of technique is this?" Someone exclaimed.
"It's too profound! I have never seen such a technique!"
"This Immortal Maiden Le'er is truly extraordinary!"
Everyone was amazed. They had originally thought that Cui Geng would be able to break through the pavilion's defenses, but they did not expect him to be so easily blocked.
This showed the vast difference in strength between the two.
Cui Geng's face was ashen. He felt completely defeated.
He had come here filled with confidence, but he was utterly crushed.
He had overestimated himself and underestimated others.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.
He had no words to say. He had been completely defeated.
At this moment, a faint voice came from the pavilion again.
"You have a restless heart. It is not suitable to see me."
Cui Geng's body trembled. He felt as if his heart was being exposed.
He had been completely seen through!
He could no longer hold back and took a step back, his face full of shame.
The middle-aged scholar quickly stepped forward and supported him.
"Elder Brother Cui, are you alright?"
Cui Geng shook his head, his face pale.
"I am defeated."
He was utterly defeated. He had come filled with confidence, but he was defeated without even seeing the other person's face.
This was a crushing defeat.
He had thought he was a top-notch expert among the younger generation, but he was not even qualified to see this Immortal Maiden Le'er.
This hit him hard.
The others were also silent. They had all seen the power of Immortal Maiden Le'er.
She did not even show her face, yet she easily defeated a top-notch expert.
This kind of strength was truly terrifying.
From this day on, the name of Immortal Maiden Le'er resounded throughout the cultivation world.
Everyone knew that there was an extraordinary woman in the cultivation world who cultivated the Path of Joyful Spirit and had profound strength.
And the name of Cui Geng became a joke.
He had dared to ask for Immortal Maiden Le'er's name, but he was defeated without even seeing her.
This incident also made many people realize that the cultivation world was vast and full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
There were many extraordinary people who did not reveal themselves easily.
And Immortal Maiden Le'er was one of them.
Qing Chen saw everything from the side and felt a deep sense of awe.
The Path of Joyful Spirit was truly extraordinary. It did not rely on brute force, but on the power of emotions.
If one's heart was pure and calm, they could resonate with the Path of Joyful Spirit and achieve extraordinary power.
And if one's heart was full of impurities and emotions, they would be easily affected by the Path of Joyful Spirit.
Cui Geng was defeated because his heart was not pure enough.
He was full of arrogance, anger, and stubbornness, which were all impurities.
And Immortal Maiden Le'er was able to perceive his emotions and use the power of the Path of Joyful Spirit to dissolve his true energy.
This was the power of emotions.
Qing Chen suddenly felt that his own path was somewhat lacking.
He cultivated the Path of Void and Emptiness, which focused on emptying the heart and mind.
However, he had not cultivated the Path of Joyful Spirit, which focused on understanding emotions.
Emotions were a part of human nature. If one completely ignored emotions, they would lose a part of themselves.
Perhaps he should also cultivate the Path of Joyful Spirit to understand emotions.
He looked at the pavilion where Immortal Maiden Le'er was, his eyes full of thought.
He wanted to see this Immortal Maiden Le'er and understand the Path of Joyful Spirit.
However, he knew that it was not the right time yet.
He had to wait until his own heart was calm enough.
He returned to the pavilion where he was sitting and continued to drink tea.
The atmosphere in the courtyard had changed.
Everyone was still talking about the incident with Cui Geng and Immortal Maiden Le'er.
Some people were amazed by Immortal Maiden Le'er's strength, while others were sympathetic to Cui Geng's defeat.
But no one dared to challenge Immortal Maiden Le'er again.
They had seen her strength, and they knew that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Qing Chen listened to their discussions and felt a sense of detachment.
He was not part of their world. He was a cultivator who was pursuing the ultimate truth.
He had seen the power of the Path of Joyful Spirit, and it had inspired him.
He would continue to cultivate and seek the truth.
He would not be distracted by the affairs of the world.
He would only focus on his own path.
He drank the tea in his cup, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.
He had come to this place to see the cultivation world and to find his own path.
He had seen enough today.
He knew what he needed to do next.
He would leave this place and continue his cultivation.
He would seek the ultimate truth and reach the peak of cultivation.
He stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
He did not say goodbye to anyone.
He simply left.
He walked out of the courtyard and disappeared into the vast cultivation world.
He would continue his journey, seeking the truth and reaching the peak.
He was Qing Chen, a cultivator pursuing the ultimate truth.
And his journey had just begun.
He walked on the road, feeling the breeze on his face.
He looked up at the sky, which was vast and endless.
He knew that his path was also vast and endless.
He would continue to walk, no matter how difficult the journey was.
He would reach the peak and see the ultimate truth.
This was his goal, and he would never give up.
He smiled and continued to walk.
His steps were firm and resolute.
He was full of hope and determination.
He would succeed.
He would reach the peak.
He would see the ultimate truth.
This was his promise to himself.
And he would keep it.
He walked on, disappearing into the distance.
He was a solitary figure, but his heart was full of strength.
He was Qing Chen, a cultivator pursuing the ultimate truth.
And his journey had just begun.
