There is a fairy mountain on the sea

There is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain is in the void.

In this sea area that no mortal has ever set foot on, shrouded in clouds and mist, is the Wuchen Island.

Wuchen Island is not an island, but the name of a sect of cultivation. It is located on the sea and consists of three islands and seven peaks.

At this time, in the Punishment Hall of Wuchen Island, a woman in red was kneeling in the hall, trembling all over as she listened to the verdict of the people in front of her.

"Xu Shulou, the first disciple of Mingyue Peak on Wuchen Island, violated the sect rules, harmed his fellow disciples, and his skills were abolished and he was expelled from the sect."

"I didn't, it was Bai Roushuang who plotted against me!" The woman in red raised her head abruptly, a tear about to fall from the corner of her eye. When she raised her eyes, there seemed to be a shimmering light in her eyes. The beauty's tearful appearance was almost a painting, but it did not arouse the slightest pity from the onlookers. Everyone looked at her with only disgust.

She looked to the people at Mingyue Peak for help, but her junior brother who had taught her swordsmanship didn't even bother to look at her. Hearing her words, he just snorted coldly: "You still don't repent until now, but Junior Sister Bai was still begging for you until this morning. It's really obvious who is better."

The woman in red was hysterical: "Do you believe that she is sincerely pleading for me? She is just trying to show her generosity! You believe whatever she says? Ever since Bai Roushuang entered the sect, your hearts have been completely biased!"

"Junior Sister Bai has a miserable life and is alone and helpless. It's inevitable that we all look after her a little more. What's wrong with that? I just asked you, my senior sister, to give up your magic weapon a few times, but you still hold a grudge against us and keep accusing us of being biased. You deserve what you have today!"

The woman in red was speechless. She looked at the disciples of the Punishment Hall approaching with the instruments of torture used to abolish the martial arts. Fear grew in her eyes. "I am the fiancée of Lu Beichen from the Lingxiao Sect. If the Lingxiao Sect knew about this..."

Someone interrupted her with a sneer, "Who can't see that Senior Brother Lu has had enough of you? Your engagement was only made with the help of the sect, but you used it as a means to torture Senior Brother Lu and Junior Sister Bai. If Senior Brother Lu knew that you were expelled from the sect today, he would definitely applaud!"

The woman in red was helpless and could only collapse on the ground sobbing, letting her gorgeous skirt fold and fold to the ground, watching everything happen.

The process of having one's skills abolished was as painful as having one's bones pulled out and one's muscles pulled out.

So much so that when Xu Shulou woke up from his dream, it seemed as if the aftertaste of pain still lingered in his bones, and even the grievance and sorrow in the dream seemed to be brought out a little.

She sighed. She had been having this strange dream on and off for half a month now, and it was getting more and more outrageous.

This dream was simply a cool storyline centered around her fiancé Lu Beichen, telling the story of how he had come across many opportunities and magic weapons, how he was embraced by many beauties, and how he had cultivated himself to become a powerful peak warrior.

Xu Shulou almost began to doubt whether these words were written by someone hired by Lu Beichen.

In the storybook, Xu Shulou was just one of the countless women who were infatuated with him. Unfortunately, Lu Beichen did not love her. Like everyone else in her sect, he favored her pure and innocent junior sister Bai Roushuang.

The scenes in the dream were so real that they were terrifying, but Xu Shulou didn't believe that this was a precognitive dream and that everything that happened in the dream would become reality one day.

Her fiancé, Lu Beichen, was the eldest disciple of another immortal cultivation sect, Lingxiao Sect. The engagement between the two was just a temporary measure for the two sects to unite and face the outside world.

After so many years, Lingxiao Sect is now very powerful, especially after the elders Lu and his wife passed the tribulation and ascended to heaven decades ago, they became even more famous and were about to become one of the three major sects in the cultivation world. They no longer needed to rely on the power of Wuchen Island, and this marriage contract became dispensable to them. However, Xu Shulou was extremely talented in the path of cultivation, and Lingxiao Sect was inevitably reluctant to completely give up this marriage contract.

But the story mentioned that Lu Beichen wanted to find someone he truly loved as his Taoist partner, rather than a woman chosen by his master. It was just that Xu Shulou refused to let go, so he kept pestering her.

Xu Shulou felt that this dream was too outrageous. They had only met a few times in these years and had no feelings for each other. If it weren't for this dream, Xu Shulou would have almost forgotten that he was still engaged. If she was told that she would be jealous of all kinds of women around her fiancé in the future, or even use vicious means to harm her fellow junior sisters, she naturally didn't believe it.

What's more, in the sect, she has her teachers, close friends, and fellow junior students who respect and admire her. She doesn't believe that one day, these people will turn against her.

Besides, precognitive dreams only exist in legends. It is said that precognitive dreams will only appear when major events involve the survival of the three realms.

Xu Shulou's dreams were intermittent and incoherent. She could only dream about some plots related to herself. Today, she was chasing after Lu Beichen and being rejected by him. Tomorrow, she was jealous of Bai Roushuang and scheming against her. Occasionally, she would feel sorry for herself because of the favoritism of her master. What kind of predictive dream was this?

Xu Shulou stretched and rolled around in the Luancha. She had practiced for many years, so she would not be disturbed by a dream. She had not read a storybook for a long time, so she found it novel and read this dream as a storybook with great interest.

Of course, it would probably be more interesting if the woman who was becoming more and more miserable in the story was not herself.

Xu Shulou was heartlessly planning to continue sleeping, but at this moment the Luan carriage slowly landed.

arrive?

Someone in the audience had already recognized her carriage with a blue bird holding a branch in its mouth. When the carriage stopped, a waiter immediately stepped forward and respectfully lifted the curtain. Xu Shulou stepped down from the carriage with light lotus steps, swept away his laziness just now, and bowed to everyone present: "Xu Shulou from Wuchen Island, greetings to you all."

This was a trial meeting. In recent years, Wuchen Island had always secluded itself from the world and had not participated in the power struggles in the cultivation world. However, this time, there were disciples from Wuchen Island who wanted to participate in the trial meeting, so the sect notified Xu Shulou to come and help to calm the situation.

Although Wuchen Island is low-key, Xu Shulou, as a leader among this generation of cultivators, is very popular. As soon as she got on the carriage, many people gathered around her and greeted her.

At this time, Xu Shulou greeted everyone one by one, and soon saw his fiancé Lu Beichen in the crowd. Next to him stood a woman in a white dress, who was slender and charming, with a white spirit bird perched on her shoulder.

Although they had not met yet, Xu Shulou immediately knew that this must be his new junior sister, Bai Roushuang.

In the past year since Bai Roushuang became his disciple, Xu Shulou has been traveling all the time. She only asked someone to bring a gift to her when her junior sister first became his disciple.

This was the first time the two met, but the name Bai Roushuang occupied a huge weight in Xu Shulou's dreams.

According to the timeline of this story, Bai Roushuang was already flirting with Xu Shulou's fiancé, and Lu Beichen even gave her a very beautiful pet.

Xu Shulou looked at the spiritual pet that followed Bai Roushuang. It was the spiritual bird Jiuyao that Lu Beichen had given her, which was mentioned in the storybook. This bird had bright white feathers and looked extremely beautiful when flying. The storybook said that when Bai Roushuang took this bird out, she attracted many female cultivators to admire her.

It was really beautiful. Xu Shulou resisted the urge to go up and stroke the spirit bird.

Feeling her gaze, Bai Roushuang's face looked a little unnatural. Her appearance was just as described in the storybook, pure and pretty, charming, wearing a white dress and a slender waist. At this time, she bowed to Xu Shulou, with a graceful posture and a polite smile, her face was full of spring, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

This smile made her look even more innocent and gentle. In the story, when they first met, her slightly shy smile made Lu Beichen feel a desire to protect her.

Xu Shulou didn't hold any grudge against his junior sister because of a dream he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he just smiled back at her.

After she exchanged greetings with the people from other sects present, Lu Beichen and Bai Roushuang in the crowd had quietly left without her noticing.

Xu Shulou didn't mind. If they really loved each other, when Lu Beichen came to him and asked him to cancel the engagement, he would just nod and agree. It wouldn't end up being like in the storybooks where they were entangled endlessly.

After watching a few competitions, I came to the residence prepared by the Trial Association for the people from Wuchen Island. Before I even got close, I heard a very gentle and pleasant female voice with a hint of worry: "But I'm a little worried, will Senior Sister Xu dislike me?"

Then a male voice comforted her, "Junior Sister Bai, you are so gentle and innocent, who would not like you? Why worry about this? I heard that you have been popular since you came to Wuchen Island. Didn't your Senior Brother Li from the Punishment Hall come here specially to help you?"

The female voice scolded: "Senior Brother Li is just passing by."

"Okay, okay, it's on the way," the man chuckled, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Shu Lou is from the mortal world just like you. You two should have a lot to talk about."

This was naturally Lu Beichen and Bai Roushuang who had just disappeared in the crowd. The female voice continued, "But, even if they are all from the mortal world, there are still different classes. I heard that Senior Sister Xu was once a princess of the royal family. When I saw her just now, she came down from the phoenix carriage with such a posture and pomp, as if she were a fairy. She moved freely in the crowd, as if her whole body was glowing... Senior Brother Lu, do you think someone like Senior Sister would... look down on someone like me?"

Origin? Xu Shulou was slightly startled, and recalled a section in the storybook. Bai Roushuang's origin was not very good. She was rescued from a brothel by Xu Shulou's master. In the storybook that Xu Shulou dreamed of, it was repeatedly emphasized that although she was born in a brothel, she had not lost her innocence.

Xu Shulou felt that this storybook was probably not a good one that would sell well.

The storybook also says that Bai Roushuang has a simple and gentle personality. Although she has only been there for a short time, she is very popular. In the entire Wuchen Island, it seems that Xu Shulou is the only person who dislikes her. He thinks that since she was born in a brothel and has met all kinds of people, how could she be as innocent and pure as she looks?

But no one believed what Xu Shulou said. Ever since she started to oppose Bai Roushuang, she was always blamed in the sect. Everyone in the sect felt sorry for the little sister, but Xu Shulou became more and more miserable. Everyone hated her and she was abandoned by her friends and relatives. Even her peerless martial arts skills were wasted.

The man immediately comforted her, "How could that be? You are innocent and pure, and if she really dares to make a fuss about your background, I will definitely have a talk with her."

Xu Shulou felt a little embarrassed. Her cultivation was higher than that of Lu Beichen and Bai Roushuang, so at this distance, she could hear their voices but they could not hear her.

After thinking about it, she deliberately made her footsteps louder, almost stomping her feet, and finally the two of them noticed.

Xu Shulou came to look for Bai Roushuang. His junior sister was going to participate in a trial meeting, and Xu Shulou wanted to see if she needed any help or guidance.

The head of Mingyue Peak, Immortal Yu, is the master of Xu Shulou and Bai Roushuang. However, he has been in seclusion for many years and the last time he came out was a year ago.

Ever since he accepted Xu Shulou, a gifted disciple, Immortal Master Chang Yu found that he could be a hands-off boss. He left the next few disciples he accepted to Xu Shulou to teach them swordsmanship.

Now that Xu Shulou is not around, Bai Roushuang's sword skills are taught by other disciples of Mingyue Peak.

Xu Shulou felt that she had left her junior sister alone, so she wanted to fulfill her duties as a senior sister and test how well she had learned the martial arts.

After hearing her intention, Lu Beichen frowned, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Shu Lou, have you heard something? I only take extra care of her because she is your junior sister, so don't think too much."

The trial meeting was held for newcomers in the world of cultivation. Xu Shulou had not participated in it for many years, but he came here specially today. Lu Beichen thought more about it.

As the eldest disciple of Lingxiao Sect, he was different from Xu Shulou and Bai Roushuang, who were cultivators from the mortal world. His parents were both famous cultivators, and they had ascended to heaven decades ago. With a family background and a famous teacher from a young age, he was a leader among his peers. He was very talented and handsome, and he had a smooth journey. He had met many female cultivators who were attracted to him, so he inevitably developed some self-esteem problems.

Seeing that Xu Shulou wanted to test Bai Roushuang's swordsmanship, he thought that Xu Shulou had heard that he and Bai Roushuang were getting close, and became jealous, so he wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Bai Roushuang.

Xu Shulou was unable to follow his train of thought for a moment, and said in confusion: "I just want to test how well Junior Sister has practiced her skills."

As the first disciple of Mingyue Peak, she always felt that she had a responsibility to these fellow disciples.

Seeing her like this, Lu Beichen frowned and stood in front of Bai Roushuang: "Junior Sister Bai is naturally no match for you, why bother her? Shu Lou, if you are angry, just fight me. How about we have a real fight?"

Xu Shulou was silent for a moment, then looked at the man who would one day be invincible in the storybooks: "Do you know how much damage it would cause me if I fought with you in real swords?"

Lu Beichen was stunned, thinking that she was really thinking about him. If she fought with him, she would be hurt. Since the engagement, Xu Shulou had always been indifferent to him and had never been intimate. Seeing him getting close to Bai Roushuang, he suddenly became jealous. He felt a little proud. Thinking that she was his fiancée after all, his tone softened and he asked softly, "How much?"

Xu Shulou replied: "Not at all."

“…”

Xu Shulou asked again: "Do you know how much damage you will suffer?"

Lu Beichen wisely didn't respond.

There was no way. Even though he had a famous teacher, good talent and cultivation, and was very popular outside, he really couldn't beat his fiancée.

Among this generation of disciples in the cultivation world, Xu Shulou is a true leader, lacking in talent, understanding and hard work.

Lu Beichen was also unwilling to accept it. He was known as a genius. How could a natural cultivator be inferior to a mortal cultivator who entered the Dao halfway? He also practiced hard in seclusion, but he could not win. He was defeated every time he challenged. Later, as the relationship between Wuchen Island and Lingxiao Sect became increasingly distant, the two sects almost stopped interacting. He had not seen Xu Shulou many times in these years, which was considered out of sight, out of mind.

Just now, out of his desire to protect Bai Roushuang, Lu Beichen got carried away and almost forgot about their battle record that year. He proposed to have a real fight with real swords. But if Xu Shulou really got angry and didn't hold back at all, he would definitely lose face in front of Bai Roushuang.

Xu Shulou was very reasonable. He saw that Lu Beichen seemed to really have feelings for Bai Roushuang as described in the storybook, so he reminded him so that he wouldn't lose face in front of his sweetheart. Of course, he didn't have to beat him at this time. Seeing that he was silent, he gently patted his shoulder and said, "Think carefully before you challenge me to a fight next time."
