Chapter 114 Catching Fish Early
"No, Lan Yue, you must have seen wrong." The Second Elder said calmly.
"Lan Yue, a spirit beast just flew away suddenly. Maybe it's in a hurry to find its other half." The Fifth Elder stroked his beard.
Elder Sun, who remained where he was, wished he could shrink to the very back and become a stone statue.
"So it was an anxious spirit beast, no wonder." Lan Yue suddenly realized.
"Hey, Elder Sun, what are you doing here? Did you come to the Southern Spirit Sect to buy a beard?" Lan Yue was surprised to see that Elder Sun from the Northern Ridge Holy Land was wearing a beard.
Elder Sun looked up blankly: Couldn't he just have his own fake beard? Why did he have to come to the Southern Spirit Sect to buy one?
[Lan Yue: As expected, the Southern Spirit Sect is known for its abundance of bearded men. The system wasn't lying!]
Everyone coughed violently, and Elder Sun over there was completely stunned.
So the Southern Spirit Sect no longer sells magical artifacts or elixirs, but has switched to selling fake beards?
"Wait, Elder Sun, it's not what you think!" The Fifth Elder was on the verge of tears.
"Yes, Elder Sun, let's have a detailed discussion about the cooperation between the Northern Ridge Holy Land and the Southern Spirit Sect." The Second Elder also came over and said in a serious tone.
"A partnership to sell beards?" Elder Sun blurted out.
Everyone: "???"
They turned to look at Lan Yue again and, sure enough, found her looking as if she had just realized something.
Even the other disciples around him fell into deep thought.
"It's not about selling beards!" The Second Elder almost lost his composure.
"Let's talk about those ancient formations and pill formulas. Of course, the specific details of our discussion will have to be discussed by other elders from the Holy Land."
"So it was about discussing the spoils of the ruins. I really can't make that decision; I'm just a guest elder," Elder Sun said with an embarrassed smile.
"However, you can also find other people. All the disciples from the Northern Ridge Holy Land who came this time are here."
Elder Sun took out a string of gourds, and everyone could see that there were pairs of eyes on the gourds.
Those eyes were filled with curiosity and unimaginable amazement.
Everyone: "!!!!"
Several elders thought you came alone; they didn't expect you to bring a string of carrots!
As Elder Sun shook the gourd, one after another, disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land appeared out of thin air.
"Greetings, elders." Baili Xingzhou, accompanied by his disciples, greeted them respectfully.
The other disciples also bowed in greeting.
"Even you all followed us in?" The Second Elder looked weary.
They just hoped that the Holy Son of the Northern Ridge wouldn't come looking for them so soon, or their sect leader would be furious.
The daughter who was finally found (listen to her heart) is about to be taken away again not long after. Who could bear this!
He won't get involved then; the fighting power of the Holy Son of Beiling is not something an ordinary person can withstand!
Didn't you see that their Southern Spirit Sect is still missing a mountain peak? That was chopped down by the Holy Son of the Northern Ridge!
So brutal!
Sect Master, you'd better think of a solution yourself!
"Have you heard anything from your Holy Son lately?" the Fifth Elder asked quietly from the side.
He needs to know the news in advance to see what his plans are.
What's meant to happen, can't be avoided no matter what.
"The Holy Son is currently in seclusion and will likely not emerge for several decades," Baili Xingzhou said, lying with a straight face.
Actually, given his personality, he wouldn't say that.
But the Holy Land insisted that he reply in this way.
There's nothing we can do; the Holy Son is his uncle. His uncle is currently not in the Holy Land, searching for his daughter all over the country. We'll probably hear the news soon.
What if the uncle comes looking for his daughter, but she has already run away? How heartbroken would that be?
Upon hearing his reply, all the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect wore expressions of joy.
This made Baili Xingzhou even more suspicious.
"Alas, there's nothing I can do about it if you're in seclusion. I was originally planning to invite your Holy Son here to discuss those ancient formations together." The Sixth Elder smiled broadly.
He didn't show the slightest regret; on the contrary, he seemed rather pleased with the outcome.
"Yes, let the Holy Son of Beiling cultivate properly. After all, cultivation is the most important thing. We must not delay him." The Fifth Elder also spoke up.
"The research on these ancient formations and ancient pill formulas can be done by having other people from your holy land come here as well."
Elder Sun, standing behind the group, kept his eyes down, pretending not to hear anything.
Because he had almost finished his task, it had nothing to do with him!
"You're right, it doesn't matter who comes!" Baili Xingzhou nodded repeatedly.
"Then I'll stay here for a while, and the others from the Northern Ridge Holy Land can come too."
"Your sect shouldn't mind if I, a mere disciple of the Holy Son of the Northern Ridge, come and study for a while, right?"
The other elders: "..."
"Of course," the Second Elder said with a forced smile.
"That's good. May I live on the same mountain as Lan Yue? I hit it off with her at first sight and am very grateful for her saving our Holy Land disciples' lives in the ruins. I want to repay her."
Baili Xingzhou turned around again and looked towards Lanyue.
Lan Yue, looking completely bewildered: "???"
Wasn't this a discussion among the sect's higher-ups? Why is she involved again?
"Junior Sister Lanyue warmly invited us to go fishing, but I've never tried it before. We should catch fish as soon as possible."
Bai Lixingzhou was very serious and authentic.
Lan Yue: "???"
Wait a minute, bro, if we're going to catch fish, we'll do it secretly!
Is it appropriate for you to say you want to catch his fish in front of the Second Elder?
