Chapter 448: The Sneaky Treasure Blossom Sect Disciple
Chapter 448: The Sneaky Treasure Blossom Sect Disciple
"...?"
The maid quietly clenched her palm, blaming herself for being captivated by the young man's beauty.
Using the pretext of an old friend, many cultivators would come to seek an audience.
But to find an Immortal Maiden with a name completely unfamiliar to her was a first.
"I'll go and turn him down right away."
"Mhm."
Treasure Blossom Immortal lightly nodded and pushed open the door, gently closing it behind her.
Inside, only one maid remained, as if she had expected her return, holding a pot of flower tea, the fragrance at its peak.
"Bicu, I'm so annoyed."
A
"It's been hard on you, Immortal Maiden. Have some tea." Bicu smiled gently, holding a teacup as she approached the bed.
"Oh."
Treasure Blossom Immortal propped herself up from the bed, crossed her legs, and sat down. She tugged at her soft toes before reaching for the teacup.
"..."
Bicu took back the teacup and reached for a scented handkerchief, saying helplessly, "Don't touch your feet before drinking tea, Immortal Maiden."
"It's fragrant, smell it!" Treasure Blossom Immortal extended her finger.
"Of course it's fragrant."
Bicu shook her head; with the daily consumption of the Treasure Blossom Pill, how could it not be fragrant?
"What's wrong? You seem troubled," Treasure Blossom Immortal said, her eyes wide with curiosity.
"Nothing... It's just that my good-for-nothing brother has returned," Bicu forced a smile.
"Phew, I thought it was something serious. Just tell me if you need anything; we're like sisters," Treasure Blossom Immortal patted her plump figure, acting like a big sister, completely forgetting her previous dignified demeanor.
"It's not that. You've already helped him a lot, Immortal Maiden."
Bicu forced a smile, but inside, she sighed.
She had overheard the conversation outside the door.
The Immortal Maiden had turned down the cultivator who sought an audience... but he was her brother's lifesaver, and this debt of gratitude couldn't be left unreturned.
However, she didn't know the cultivator's background, so how could she dare introduce him to the Immortal Maiden?
She was so worried.
"I can't be bothered with your mysterious ways."
Treasure Blossom Immortal snatched the teacup and drank it in one gulp, wiping her mouth with her sleeve. "I wonder when I'll be allowed to go out and about. I'm almost at the late phase of Returning Void, and I don't know what my master is afraid of. Could it be that someone might eat me?"
"Why does the Immortal Maiden always want to leave the sect? Where do you want to go?" Bicu suppressed her emotions and looked on curiously.
"Haha!" Treasure Blossom Immortal suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, then motioned for Bicu to lean in and whispered, "Of course, I want a man. I haven't even held hands yet. My master is too rigid. How can an Immortal Maiden not have a Dao companion? I can't be like her, living alone in seclusion for a lifetime. That's too boring."
"Please stop talking like that!"
Bicu was drenched in cold sweat and quickly covered the Immortal Maiden's red lips.
She turned around in fear, worried that someone might have overheard.
If others heard this, the Treasure Blossom Sect would never be able to hold their heads up again.
"Haha... Look at you, I was just joking." Treasure Blossom Immortal laughed, her shoulders shaking, and waved her hand. "Go on with your work."
"Please don't joke like that again in the future."
Bicu breathed a sigh of relief, gave her a reproachful glance, and then quietly left the room.
She didn't notice that as the door closed, a hint of joy flashed in Treasure Blossom Immortal's eyes.
"Hehe."
Treasure Blossom Immortal took out a jade slip with a secretly copied cultivation technique from her storage artifact and crushed it into powder with a wave of her hand.
Her master only called her over once every six months.
She had made many preparations for this day.
With a flick of her fingers, petals flew from her sleeves, and the gentle breeze formed them into a human shape, creating another lifelike puppet.
"Farewell, my dear!"
...
In the Treasure Blossom Sect's reception hall, Mr. Zhang brought a pile of storage artifacts and handed them over to the sect's steward to complete the transaction.
His gains were evidently substantial.
Even after facing the life-threatening crisis in Hongze, a smile remained in the creases of his face.
As his joy subsided, Mr. Zhang sighed. He had finally established a connection with the Treasure Blossom Sect, thinking he could live a worry-free life for the rest of his days.
As a result, the connection was severed after just one trip.
He couldn't pass through that stretch of water, and with his cultivation, there was no other way to cross the mountains and seas.
"How about..."
He thought for a moment, planning to seek out the powerful Senior Shen he had met earlier.
Even if his background wasn't as influential as the Treasure Blossom Sect, it was certainly not an unknown force. Perhaps they had a need for escorts.
With this in mind, he quickened his steps towards the solitary pavilion.
The other party wasn't a casual cultivator like him; they must have connections, or else they wouldn't receive such treatment.
However, just as he reached the pavilion, he saw Liu Jun surrounded by several Inner Sect disciples, stomping his feet in anger: "Why are you all so impatient! Can't you wait a little longer? My sister..."
Even this carefree young man became more cautious when it came to his sister.
It was true that the Treasure Blossom Immortal held his sister in high regard, but he couldn't cause trouble for his sister by relying on this status.
"Please, Fellow Daoist."
The Inner Sect disciples shifted their gaze from Liu Jun to the figure in the black robe sitting in the chair, and they cupped their hands, saying, "We don't know your identity, but we hope that in the future, you won't play such jokes and disturb the Immortal Maiden's cultivation."
A Second Layer Returning Void cultivator of unknown origin had dared to lie and disturb the Immortal Maiden's cultivation. These outer sect cultivators were truly blinded by lust.
Instead of wasting time like this, they should focus on their cultivation.
With such abilities, how could he stand before the geniuses of other sects? Was he relying on his looks?
"... "
Shen Yi exhaled softly.
Jokingly speaking, he had anticipated that he might encounter the situation of feeding the young master, and he was prepared for rejection.
However, he never expected Senior Xuanqing to be so shameless, not even willing to let the Treasure Blossom Immortal meet him in person.
This was a bit embarrassing.
Nevertheless, Shen Yi had no intention of lingering, and he rose to his feet, cupping his hands in apology.
The Inner Sect disciples were prepared to take action, as most cultivators who lied to request an audience were stubborn and shameless.
For a moment, they were taken aback by his carefree attitude, and they hurriedly returned the gesture, saying, "No need to see you out."
"Don't worry, Senior Shen, I have someone above me."
Liu Jun took small steps towards them, glaring at the crowd before comforting Shen Yi.
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at him with lowered eyes, understanding his concerns, and shook his head without insisting.
His pill poison might not be something only the Treasure Blossom Sect could cure.
Even if he needed the Treasure Blossom Sect's help, he didn't have to rely solely on connections. There were other ways, and there was still plenty of time.
He strolled out of the pavilion.
Mr. Zhang forced a smile, not wanting to disturb the other party during this awkward moment.
He didn't believe that Shen Yi, a ruthless person, would lie about such a matter. It was more likely that the Treasure Blossom Sect's "connection" no longer valued their past relationship.
Just as they were leaving, a graceful figure rushed in, and even the palace guard disciples couldn't make out her appearance. She exuded the aura of the Treasure Blossom Sect's cultivation technique.
She merely reminded them: "Slow down, it's not proper."
"Hmph!"
The girl, with a face that wasn't particularly beautiful but still had a delicate charm, stopped in her tracks, rubbing her eyes and making a face at the palace guard disciples.
As she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed the passing youth.
Wearing a black robe, his fair and handsome face was calm, with deep eyes that seemed to contain a hint of brilliance. It was unclear what cultivation technique he practiced, but his entire being exuded a sense of transcendence.
Although his cultivation was a bit lower, his unwavering gaze was neither arrogant nor humble.
She widened her eyes with interest, pausing for a moment: "Oh?"
The aura of this person was unfamiliar, as if they weren't from the Treasure Blossom Sect.
This was intriguing.
Her eyes glinted, and she quietly followed him.
"..."
The palace guard disciples frowned, staring at the young girl. Seeing her suspicious behavior, they wanted to remind the black-robed loose cultivator to be cautious of his storage artifact if she wasn't from the Treasure Blossom Sect.
