Chapter 125 A Grasshopper on a String
[Respected Master:]
Master, don't worry. Yunxi, the twin sisters, Yuanshuo, and I have arrived at a very safe place for training. Rest assured, we will definitely cultivate diligently!
[I didn't see Li Bai and the others before I came, but I left notes for Li Bai and the twin brothers. If they don't see these notes, they should come to Lingyue Peak, and Master, you can inform them.]
[By the way, I remember the Second Elder said that Elder Duanmu had gone to the Qing Shi Sect to investigate matters concerning the Demon Clan? I wonder if Elder Duanmu has returned yet. This sect called Qing Shi Sect sounds extremely cunning; we must not fall for their tricks!]
[And Master, you have no idea how interesting things we encountered on our journey. Let me tell you, we met the Forest King's Mansion from the human realm, and also a Ghost King. The things that happened between these people were quite fascinating...]
I've also included some portraits from that time. Although the portraits are all drawn in a distorted way, Lan Yue feels that they can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words!
[Master, you're right. Those people outside are indeed cunning. But don't worry, Master, I can see through any of their tricks. In fact, I'm even more cunning than them! Hehehe...]
[And Master, you should also take good care of your health, lest you go bald at a young age.]
However, Lan Yue ultimately crossed this line out, fearing that even if she hid at the ends of the earth, her master would still come after her.
Alright, that concludes this letter to strengthen the bond between master and disciple. My hand is about to break from writing this, so I'll stop here! I wish you all the best and great progress in your cultivation!
Respectfully presented by your dearest disciple
Lan Yue placed a thick stack of envelopes with the spirit sparrow that was responsible for delivering messages, and then paid the recipient with spirit stones.
The sparrow carrying the thick envelope quickly disappeared.
After doing all this, Lan Yue returned to the Wangchen Sect.
"I wonder if Xiao Guo and Xiao Hei are awake yet. Why are they all sleeping so soundly after entering the system space?"
Lan Yue held the white cat while sighing inwardly.
"Yinxue, you're so lucky, you don't need to sleep."
Yin Xue, who had just taken a nap: "..."
"Since you're awake too, let's go eat some melon seeds together." Lan Yue clapped her hands happily.
As expected, the best feeling is to lie down and watch the drama unfold. The time I spent in the secret realm, and the time I trained before that, was truly a period of immense suffering!
"Let me take a look..." Lan Yue was about to look around for some melons when she looked up and was startled by the sudden appearance of Elder Bai Mei.
"Lu, oh no, Sister Shuangshuang, how did you suddenly appear? You didn't make a sound!"
"Lan Yue, I have a very important question for you, and you must answer truthfully." The white-browed man's face was very serious.
"Sister Shuangshuang, please speak." Lanyue also straightened her expression.
She felt this must be a very important matter, possibly even concerning the future of the cultivation world.
Otherwise, why would Elder White Eyebrows have that expression?
"Lan Yue, do you think we're in the same boat?" Elder Bai Mei asked in a very serious tone.
"That's right, we are indeed in the same boat!" Lan Yue nodded without hesitation.
The entire cultivation world is actually all in the same boat.
When the demons invade, everyone must unite!
"So Lan Yue, could you help me choose a flower pattern and then do my makeup? I'm counting on you for this Flower Goddess Festival!" Elder Bai Mei clasped his hands together and offered up ten top-grade spirit stones once again.
Lan Yue: "???"
Yin Xue also tilted her head, looking shocked.
So, after all that talking, they were just talking to each other like chickens and ducks?
However, there's absolutely no reason not to accept the top-grade spirit stones that are offered!
It's just a matter of putting on makeup and styling! No big deal!
Lan Yue took them without hesitation.
"Don't worry, Sister Shuangshuang, I'll take care of it!"
"However, I can't guarantee what ranking we'll get, since there are a lot of beautiful girls here!"
Lan Yue took a tour yesterday and was completely awestruck.
In just a few months, the Wangchen Sect has developed so rapidly!
It's truly unbelievable; no wonder its reputation has spread all the way to the Northern Regions.
I wonder where Elder Wan is now, and whether he has found his Daoist partner yet.
Lan Yue was genuinely very curious.
"It's alright, it doesn't matter what ranking you get." Elder White Eyebrows breathed a sigh of relief.
He's already halfway to victory if the other party is willing to help!
"Okay, but I need to think carefully about how to style it." Lan Yue nodded.
She felt that it would be too difficult to stand out among so many beauties, and she needed to think of a better strategy.
"Alright, then you'd better think it over carefully." The white-browed elder on the other side nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and left.
After Elder Bai left, Lan Yue went to the other friends' rooms to discuss things.
Yunxi is currently studying the art of alchemy. Although she has received instruction from the senior alchemist, she still needs to gradually familiarize herself with it.
Wu Tianya was practicing in the courtyard, and every move she made was imbued with the energy of earth fire.
Yuan Shuo didn't come out at all, probably because he felt too ashamed to face anyone and was hiding away there.
Lan Yue was a little worried, so she quietly peeked through the window and found that the other party had set up a soundproof array at some point and was still there, clanging and banging, refining spiritual weapons.
Judging from how hard he hit, it seems like there wasn't much of a problem.
Lan Yue was no longer worried.
She and two other friends gathered together and began to discuss it.
"The White-Browed Elder's attire? That's not easy to pull off." Yunxi also found it somewhat troublesome.
She thought the same as Lan Yue: it wasn't difficult to make Bai Mei grow up to be beautiful, but to stand out among so many beauties would be a huge challenge.
"Actually, there is also a Flower Goddess program in the Western Regions. The cultivators dressed as Flower Goddesses will include all kinds of flowers in their dresses, which are inlaid with various flowers. Then they will slowly descend from the sky, and all the flowers around them will bloom at the same time."
Wu Tianya recalled her childhood memories and felt a sense of familiarity. "However, making all the flowers bloom is very simple, and other cultivators will surely think of this as well."
So she felt it still wasn't quite right.
Before Yunxi came to the Southern Spirit Sect, she hadn't met many people from the Xiao family; she had mostly met the people from the Prince's Mansion.
"How about we put on theatrical makeup? I've seen opera singers before, and their makeup is always so beautiful, it's stunning at first glance."
"How about this, let's dress up!" Lan Yue suddenly thought of a method after hearing her two friends' suggestion.
"Crossdressing?" The other two friends were curious.
"This is the simplest way to change clothes." Lan Yue was still wearing a linen dress, but with a gentle turn, the dress instantly transformed into a green one.
"Wow!" The other two were also surprised.
"Of course, if we're going to give Shuangshuang some advice, we can't just use such a simple costume change; we also need to consider the overall atmosphere!"
"I'll give each of us two top-grade spirit stones as our reward!"
The other two nodded in agreement; they were also very much looking forward to the costume change! It sounded pretty good.
Lan Yue ran back and discussed the matter with Elder Bai Mei. Elder Bai Mei was very happy and gave her six more top-grade spirit stones for expenses on site.
"Don't worry about spirit stones. If you need more, just let me know!" Elder White Eyebrows patted his chest and assured him.
Lan Yue smiled and took the spirit stone, then immediately stuffed it into her spatial storage.
The spirit stones we earned through our own abilities are not worth anything!
…
So when the Flower Goddess Festival arrived, the sect leader of the Southern Spirit Sect found that his daughter was sitting in the row of the performance area with Lan Yue and the other little ones, chattering away, as if they were waiting for the performance.
Yun Chong: "???"
What happened? Did he enter this sect in the wrong way?
He did know that these little ones were in the Forgotten Dust Sect, and he had already instructed Elder Wan and the others to take care of them.
It was because these little guys were having so much fun at the Wangchen Sect that he accepted the sect leader's invitation to come here and participate in the Flower Goddess Festival.
But who told him why these little guys all started performing?
Yun Chong looked around and saw that the little ones had secretly gone backstage to prepare.
Yun Chong: "..."
He wanted to see what those kids were up to!
The elders who followed were equally puzzled. What were these guys doing?
"So it's the people from the Southern Spirit Sect. Please come in quickly." Several beautiful fairies came over and invited them to the main seats.
The rather plump fairy at the head of the group was overjoyed. She sent out invitations to the surrounding sects, not expecting many people to come.
After all, the Wangchen Sect had only been established for half a year, making it very small and inconspicuous among the many sects.
Unexpectedly, there were so many surprises. Not only did the sect leader of the top sect in the Southern Region, the Southern Spirit Sect, come in person, but their elders also came!
On the surface, they presented a congratulatory gift.
In reality, the elders were just watching you little rascals cause trouble.
