Chapter 126 Something's not right!
"Did I just see the sect leader?"
"Backstage," Lan Yue suddenly said.
"Probably not, Father didn't say he was coming."
Yun Chong would always inform her in advance whenever he had something to do, so Yun Xi thought he probably hadn't come.
"That's good, otherwise we would have all died together." Lan Yue patted her chest, still feeling lingering fear.
They went to great lengths to make Elder White Eyebrows stand out, and even planned to perform on stage themselves.
If the sect leader were to see them, they would be doomed!
"It's alright, even if Father really comes, I will protect you!" Yunxi clenched her fist tightly.
Lan Yue immediately felt incredibly safe.
That's right, the sect leader's own daughter is here, what's there to be afraid of?
So the little ones mustered their courage again.
"Am I really going to go on stage?" Yuan Shuo asked, clutching the dress in his arms with a mournful face.
"Of course we have to go on stage! Our numbers are very small, and Yuan Shuo, you're the key person!" Lan Yue said righteously, pulling on the skirt in the other person's arms.
So not long after everyone else finished their dance, people outside started coming over to give them a heads-up.
"Shuangshuang, it'll be your turn soon. Change your clothes first."
Elder Bai Mei didn't actually need to dress up at all, because according to Lan Yue's script, he started out as a simple peasant girl.
"Am I really going to do this?" Elder White Eyebrows asked, somewhat unsure of himself.
Can he really win the championship looking like this?
"Elder White Eyebrows, didn't we already rehearse before? The effect was truly excellent!"
Lan Yue patted her chest again to assure him.
Elder Bai Mei himself didn't know how to put on those very pretty makeup looks, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and make a decision.
"Okay, we'll go with your script!"
After a while, the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect noticed the little ones sneaking out again, but they quickly disappeared.
At this moment, the stage in front was suddenly shrouded in mist.
After a while, a low sobbing sound came from a patch of grass.
As the clouds dispersed, the white-browed elder, disguised as a peasant woman, was found weeping there.
Although Elder Bai Mei tried his best to hide it, he turned his face to the side.
The elders from the Southern Spirit Sect still recognized him, and they all stared wide-eyed.
Elder Bai Mei naturally sensed them as well, but there was nothing he could do but grit his teeth and continue.
The peasant girl on the meadow cried for a while, lamenting the poor harvest and the constant haunting by monsters.
In the next scene, many monsters swarmed in and devoured all the crops, turning even the grasslands into parched land.
Black mist emanated from the monsters as they left with sinister grins.
The group of elders from the Southern Spirit Sect opposite them: "???"
What's going on? Why did those laughs just now sound so much like Lan Yue's laughter?
They were indeed very hesitant about the laughter of others, but they could instantly recognize Lan Yue's laughter.
After all, the elders were always gossiping, and they had heard all sorts of laughter from Lan Yue.
If they hadn't heard the guy's laughter, they would have almost attacked him because the monster's acting was so convincing.
Fortunately, the familiar voice brought them back to their senses.
So this is ridiculous. Could it be that those four monsters were all played by the little guys?
The elders were shocked, and even the people from the Wangchen Sect were filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Just as everyone was doubting the authenticity of those monsters, a woman dressed in white with a halo above her head suddenly appeared on the clouds in the upper left corner of the sky.
"When a demon is born, great calamity will befall the human world."
"Since we are destined to meet, I will grant you the ability to transform. From now on, you must protect this land and safeguard the safety of the people."
After the woman in white, radiating a holy light, finished speaking, a magic wand slowly descended.
"This is the divine artifact I bestow upon you. With its help, you will surely be able to eliminate these monsters and restore peace to the world!"
"I'm leaving. Now it's your turn to fight!"
The woman in white rode away slowly on a cloud, her face filled with sorrow from beginning to end.
"Is this Yuan Shuo?" Yun Chong did sense the aura belonging to Yuan Shuo.
However, he never dared to confirm it because the two were so different.
The other elders: "..."
The head of the weapon-refining hall, in particular, had his mouth agape and couldn't close it.
Others may not be familiar with their nephew, but he is very familiar with him!
Because that golden halo was the top-grade spiritual artifact he gave to his nephew for self-defense.
Ever since he realized he had mistaken his nephew for someone else, he felt incredibly guilty and gave the other person a bunch of top-grade spiritual artifacts for self-defense.
He had never seen Yuan Shuo use it before, and he never expected to see him use it in person in such a situation.
The head of the weapon-refining hall's expression completely shattered, the kind that couldn't be pieced back together no matter what he did.
He felt he must not have woken up properly, otherwise how could he have seen his nephew dressed as a woman and even performing such a show at the Wangchen Sect?
His original intention was to send his nephew, who was always sullen and depressed at home, to Lingyue Peak so that he could become more cheerful.
After all, Lan Yue is a carefree little girl who eats melons all day long; there is no one more cheerful than her in the entire Nanling Sect.
His nephew is now more cheerful, but isn't this cheerfulness a bit off?
