As her senior, I need to maintain the dignity of an elder!”
“Alright, alright,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, taking out a Jade Talisman, “I’ll ask for you, and if you have any conditions, just say so.”
Wei Yanzi squinted his eyes and laughed softly, seeming quite pleased with himself.
Neither of them seemed concerned about the reprimanding they would face after returning to the mountain.
In the underground chamber of Wanyun Sect’s residence in Dafang Town of the East Sea,
Xiaoyue lay leisurely on a soft couch, her thin gauzy dress concealing her voluptuous figure, looking troubled as though pondering some difficult issue.
In her arms was a pure white spirit cat, and her slender fingers gently stroked its back, making it comfortably close its eyes.
Several gracefully poised young female cultivators stood quietly by, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Xiaoyue suddenly called out.
Wen Ling’er promptly stepped forward, bowing her head: “Ling’er is here.”
“How long have you been studying with your teacher?”
“Forty-two years,” Wen Ling’er said softly, “and another three months.”
Xiaoyue asked again, “How has your teacher treated you?”
“Extremely well,” Wen Ling’er’s heart quivered, “If not for master rescuing Ling’er and her family from the mundane cage, Ling’er would have lost her family long ago; I could not have today’s fate.”
Xiaoyue nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and then sighed softly.
Wen Ling’er hurriedly said, “Master, if there is any difficulty you face, please tell your disciple.
I am willing to go through fire and water for you.”
“This time, my bothering Li Ping’an was actually under the orders of Moyi, the Vice Sect Leader.”
Xiaoyue said indifferently,
“Although I do not fear Vice Sect Leader’s reproach, in the end, I failed to settle the matter and cannot explain myself to the seniors.”
Wen Ling’er couldn’t help but ask, “Master, if I may be so bold, why would the Vice Sect Leader trouble a disciple at the condensation stage?”
“Li Ping’an’s father, Li Dazhi, is a disciple of Wanyun Sect’s founding ancestor.
“The Current Sect Leader has been in office for ten thousand years.
Having entered the realm of the Nine Heavens of Heavenly Immortals, he soon will have the chance to break through to Golden Immortal, and will need to abdicate to concentrate on his cultivation.”
“I don’t know why they all want the position of Sect Leader, I suppose men like to fight over such power and empty fame.
“Being Sect Leader is nothing but toil and trouble; you even have to stand up for your disciples when they’re insulted…
Never mind, let’s not talk about this.”
“Ling’er, do you think Li Dazhi has a chance of becoming Sect Leader?”
“Of course, you wouldn’t know,” Xiaoyue stretched her willow-like waist and slowly sat up, gently beckoning Wen Ling’er, “Come, let your teacher take a good look at you.”
Wen Ling’er walked forward with her head down, and Xiaoyue took her tender hands and gently squeezed them.
“Your teacher is planning to send you to our Wanyun Sect’s gate to cultivate, would you be willing?”
Wen Ling’er was also startled.
At Wanyun Sect, behind the main peak,
No sooner had the message from the Current Sect Leader finished than Daoist Kongming’s lips curved into a smile.
So it was little Ping’an who saved Qing Su?
He even managed to make a fool out of both the pursuing immortals and the immortals from inside the sect who went to rescue Qing Su?
However, what’s important now is…
“Dazhi, Ping’an has returned.”
Within the formation ahead, Li Dazhi’s Dao Body, which had been slightly frowning, trembled lightly.
His forehead relaxed, a small smile appeared on his lips, and the lotus flowers behind him became vivid in an instant.
Li Dazhi seemed to hear Li Ping’an’s laughter.
Immortal light surged around him, turning into blossoming Green Lotuses;
A ribbon of rainbow light rose from his forehead, reaching up to the sky.
Daoist Kongming swept his sleeves, gathering boundless Spiritual Energy, lightly blowing away the forming celestial signs, and concealing the scene of ascension.
