Chapter 396: A Visit from Wutong Mountain to Master Shen
Chapter 396: A Visit from Wutong Mountain to Master Shen
"Senior Martial Sister, please try to control your temper this time and don't fly into a rage like last time..."
Clearing Immortal stood on a auspicious cloud, but did not directly descend upon the Qizong Sect.
He tugged at Lingxi's sleeve, offering earnest advice, "His temperament is not as gentle as Little Jiang's. This is Master's decree; don't ruin things."
Reasonably, even if the most favored Nie ShiXiong was to be replaced, there was still a senior female disciple in the mountains. Why would an outsider be chosen instead?
This was even more disheartening than the last incident.
Obviously, the senior martial sister's reaction, with jealousy written all over her face, when Master accepted Jiang Qiuluan as his disciple last time, had worried Clearing greatly.
"...”
Lingxi Immortal pursed her lips and glanced at the youthful boy beside her.
Given her previous temperament, Clearing's words would have earned him a spiritual pressure attack at the very least.
But now, things were different.
Even after arriving in Da Qian, she hadn't felt any indignation.
With her own talent and temperament, it would be difficult for her to shoulder great responsibilities; everyone knew this, but no one had ever pointed it out to her directly.
Thinking of this, Lingxi didn't offer any explanations. She simply nodded slightly, "Mhm."
She might not be able to handle major events, but she could still manage minor matters.
Master had sent her here merely to demonstrate Wutong Mountain's regard for that cultivator. All she needed to do was maintain her aura and be concise in her speech.
"It's good that you understand."
Clearing breathed a sigh of relief. Aside from other things, Senior Martial Sister had become much gentler after returning from the Thousand Demon Cave.
Jiang Qiuluan stood quietly behind the two of them, her expression unchanged, but her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Initially, she had advised Shen Yi to stay away from the Immortal Sect as much as possible if it wasn't necessary. With his understanding, he wouldn't need any master to guide him and would surely break through to the Immortal realm on his own.
This would free him from any restrictions.
But even she had never imagined that in such a short time, the young man would have already reached a level where Wutong Mountain would personally come to invite him.
These proud cultivators, who usually acted with an air of superiority, had set aside their haughtiness and were now considering the niceties of hospitality and gift-giving.
How unpredictable life was.
As the two chatted, they were unaware of the commotion their presence had caused below at the Qizong Sect.
Led by Zhu Jue, Yin Shen, Wu Dao'an, and numerous Qizong disciples slowly ascended the mountain peak.
After the last incident involving the Xu family and Xuan Guang Cave,
Miao, the senior, had made it clear that he would no longer involve himself in Da Qian's affairs, be they good or bad.
But when the demon attacked, first there was Xuan Jian Immortal taking action to kill it, and then other seniors from Wutong Mountain arrived.
Zhu Jue looked up at the clouds, puzzled.
He couldn't quite understand what was going on.
Could it be that Wutong Mountain's arrogance over the years had been a facade, and they had always considered Da Qian a close ally?
What a joke...
He glanced discreetly at the house behind him, suspecting that Shen, the disciple, was the reason for this.
As expected, his guess was correct.
The next moment, a crisp voice rang out from the sky, "Disciples of Wutong Mountain, here to pay a visit to Master Shen of Da Qian. Please inform him of our arrival."
Upon hearing this, not only the Qizong disciples but also several Yin Shen cultivators revealed odd expressions.
They had never heard such polite words from Wutong Mountain before.
In the past, even before the person arrived, the decree would have already reached, and they would have had to welcome them from a thousand miles away.
Now, they had come to the door and actually asked to be announced first.
"Please take a seat, Senior Clearing. Master Shen is currently in closed-door cultivation and will need some time before he can receive you." Zhu Jue responded calmly and politely, even though he knew that these people in the sky most likely couldn't see him. He still maintained his manners and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"..."
Clearing Immortal resignedly scratched the back of his head and sneaked another glance at his senior martial sister.
He didn't mind, but he was afraid that his senior martial sister would feel slighted and do something foolish.
"Go on ahead."
Lingxi's expression remained unchanged as she nodded slightly.
As the three of them landed on the mountaintop together, Zhu Jue and Wu Dao'an suddenly looked at each other when they saw the woman in the lead: "..."
They had a vague guess in their minds.
The senior martial sister of Wutong Mountain, the legendary Lingxi Immortal.
Why was she here too?
This senior was even more formidable than Nie Jun.
Rumor had it that she had already reached the perfection of the Spirit Transformation realm and was inching towards an even higher realm.
What business did such a being have, visiting Shen, the disciple? Could it be that their intentions were not good?
"Stop guessing, quickly get Shen Yi to come out..." Clearing Immortal took a few steps forward, standing before the crowd. He lowered his voice, "I've even shared a meal with him, he's not an outsider."
"..."
Zhu Jue remained silent for a moment before shaking his head, "Please be patient, everyone. Master Shen's seclusion is of utmost importance to Da Qian, he cannot be disturbed."
"You guys! Tch!" Li Qingfeng rolled his eyes, waving his sleeve in annoyance. They were truly a bunch of stubborn donkeys.
Just as Zhu Jue had refused, he noticed Wu Dao'an wink at him.
"Hey."
Wu Dao'an stroked his beard, looking at the quietest person among the three.
If he remembered correctly, when the Martial Temple was being cleansed, he had given the Profound Abyss to Shen, the disciple, and this young lady was by his side?
Hehe! Zhu Jue, your brain isn't as good as mine, you're too inflexible!
With this in mind, Wu Dao'an quietly stepped away from the crowd and floated towards the wooden house. Standing at the doorway, he called out softly, "Shen, my boy, your old friend is here!"
"..."
Finally, Shen Yi suppressed the poison within him, his face returning to its normal state.
He stepped out, glancing at the old man.
How did he not realize how gossipy this old man was before?
Shen Yi walked slowly to the front of the crowd and said indifferently, "Get to the point."
Clearing Immortal had wanted to greet the youth when he came out, but he never expected that the other party wouldn't even show a hint of a smile, seemingly harboring some dissatisfaction.
What did I do to offend you?
Li Qingfeng was perplexed, unconsciously glancing at Lingxi.
He knew that this young man had a bad temper, but he never expected him to behave like this. He recalled that Shen Yi had been quite amicable during their meeting at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion.
I hope Senior Martial Sister isn't angry...
However, that single glance caused Li Qingfeng to freeze in his tracks.
He saw Lingxi's eyes widen, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her breath becoming uneven.
It was as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes fixed on the handsome face beneath the scattered black robe.
"Isn't this... a bit too much..."
Li Qingfeng knew that his senior martial sister valued appearance, even choosing her disciples based on their extraordinary looks.
Shen Yi did look good, but not to this extent, did he?
Jiang Qiuluan noticed the strangeness in the woman beside her, a hint of confusion appearing in her clear eyes.
Just then, she heard a calm voice.
"Come here."
Shen Yi gestured slightly.
Jiang Qiuluan subconsciously took a step forward, but then she saw Lingxi walk out ahead of her.
She paused for a moment: "..."
Realizing that Shen Yi was looking at her, she stepped forward again.
