Fang Ruotang found it a bit funny. She was genuinely curious and had no other intentions. Besides, Tianyi Sect was her personal fiefdom. If she promoted an elder she didn't like, she could simply dismiss him later. There was no need to get angry.
"Alright, why are you making that face? I was just asking a normal question, I don't mean to pursue this. What? Am I usually that fierce?"
"No, no, no, Sect Master, you misunderstand. No one said she was an elder of our Tianyi Sect. She was originally an elder of the Tiangang Sect. After she came to our Tianyi Sect, we called her that along with the disciples of the Tiangang Sect. If you don't like it, Sect Master, we won't call her that next time."
The number of disciples in the three original sects, Tianyi Sect, Wanjian Pavilion, and Tiangang Sect, is actually about the same, but the number of disciples remaining in the Sword Pavilion is currently the largest among the Tiangang Sect disciples.
Most of the disciples of the Tianyi Sect's main branch are too weak in cultivation and are learning basic spells in Dayong. The disciples of the Sword Pavilion have gone on missions. Only the disciples of the Tiangang Sect have experienced a great battle, and many of them have been seriously injured. Some of them are even unstable in their foundations. They have not left the sect recently and are recuperating in seclusion.
"It's alright, let's just call him that! I'll go see him later. If it's not appropriate, I'll inform the sect again. If not, he will be an elder of our Tianyi Sect from now on."
Upon hearing her disciple's words, Fang Ruotang guessed which Elder Luo was.
It should be the elder who led the young disciples out of the sect and went into hiding before the destruction of the Tiangang Sect.
After finding out who it was, Fang Ruotang was not in a hurry to see him and had her disciple accompany Bai Wei to the Hundred Herbs Garden to settle down.
"Go and settle in first. You can come to me if you need anything."
Bai Wei arrived at Tianyi Sect alone, somewhat nervous, and her expression was also uneasy.
Fang Ruotang saw this and, without waiting for her to agree, thought for a moment and then dragged Xun Zhu out.
"Now that we've arrived at Tianyi Sect, you, as the senior brother, can accompany your junior sister from Medicine King Valley to get used to life in Tianyi Sect and help build our sect's Hundred Herbs Garden."
As Fang Ruotang spoke, she handed a storage bag to Bai Wei.
Unlike the last time I gave her, the herbs here are all grown in the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Fang Ruotang didn't actually understand any of this; she was just following what the little mirror said, and the little mirror was actually looking at the actions of other sects in the Retrospective Mirror.
As for whether it's correct or not, and how to put it into practice, he doesn't know the details.
"Okay," Xunzhu readily agreed.
"Although you usually cultivate in the Emperor's Banner, you should also choose a place to live in the Hundred Herbs Garden. The Hundred Herbs Garden has just been established, and Bai Wei may not be able to manage it all by herself, so I'll have to trouble you to provide more support."
"Of course. Sect Leader Fang has helped Xun Zhu so much. Xun Zhu will do her best to repay him in any way she can."
Seeking bamboo is a matter of mutual agreement.
These mundane matters will not hinder my cultivation or cause me any unhappiness.
After handing over the Hundred Herbs Garden to the two of them, Fang Ruotang waved goodbye to her disciples and returned to her own mountain peak.
What kind of person is Elder Luo?
Fang Ruotang had a general idea in mind: if an elder as popular as Elder Wen was not the one who preserved the flame, then Elder Luo's character must also be extremely outstanding.
After all, after a sect is destroyed, the one who stays behind to seek revenge or rebuild the sect is often the one who suffers the most.
Elder Luo was of upright character and well-liked by the disciples in the sect. He and Elder Wen both wanted to stay and fight for the sect. They fought, and Elder Wen won while Elder Luo lost. The burden then fell on his shoulders. After all, they could foresee the fate of the Heavenly Gang Sect, which was why they sent away the younger disciples early. However, they also harbored the thought of "just in case," so the elder who remained had to be the one with the higher cultivation level.
[He must be a decent person; otherwise, Elder Jiang Yuan and Wuyou wouldn't have left the sect so readily.]
【No, that's not entirely true. Although they've all left the sect, either to assist disciples in finding spiritual herbs or to go to new spiritual veins, they've all left trusted confidants in the sect to keep an eye on things, and they'll rush back immediately if anything happens.】
Fang Ruotang: ...
They are all very responsible.
Except for her.
However, she has the small mirror as a powerful cheat code, which allows her to effectively monitor the elders of the Tiangang Sect, making her appear indifferent to everything and very naive and ignorant.
When Fang Ruotang was about to rest, Elder Luo came to see her.
"Elder Luo?" Fang Ruotang immediately let them pass, looking at the person standing in front of her who looked... haggard, and asked with some suspicion.
The main reason is that since arriving in the Cloud Deep Continent, apart from those cultivators who were seriously injured, she has never seen a single cultivator who looked like they had two big bags under their eyes from exhaustion.
They all looked radiant and healthy, with smooth, hydrated skin, and appeared to be in great spirits.
Even the elderly figures all have an air of otherworldly wisdom and refinement.
Fang Ruotang was seeing a cultivator for the first time who looked like an ordinary mortal who had been working hard for more than three months and had not had a proper rest, so she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Indeed, I heard from my disciple that the sect leader has returned, so I came here to pay him a visit."
"Yes! Nice to meet you. Welcome to our Tianyi Sect. From now on, we are family. I hope we can get along well in the future and build Tianyi Sect together."
With just one sentence, Fang Ruotang smiled and acknowledged Elder Luo.
Elder Luo breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion.
Why did he look so haggard? Besides his initial worry about the survival of the Tiangang Sect, it was all because he was exhausted from coming to the Tianyi Sect.
Yes, this huge makeshift operation.
After the elders went off to attend to their own affairs, all the responsibilities of the vast sect fell on his shoulders.
He never expected that the affairs of a sect could be so trivial. Some disciples even asked him what to eat in the canteen for the next few days, and he went down the mountain to buy it.
Imagine how shocked he must have been to hear this after years of fasting. Is Tianyi Sect some kind of kindergarten?
Even when he was leading hundreds of disciples in a survival mission in the wild, he didn't take this into consideration. Does this kind of thing need an elder of a sect to manage?
From the disciples who haven't yet practiced fasting, to the disciples who have established foundations and elixir, to the resources they need for their daily cultivation.
Every day, the moment I open my eyes, I'm busy working.
Countless people waited behind him, chasing after him and asking him to make a decision.
He's just an elder who's new to Tianyi Sect and knows nothing about anything. What kind of advice does he dare to give?
They answered each question with utmost care.
After all, he was still in a state of uncertainty regarding his status as a concubine.
After arriving at Tianyi Sect, he didn't know much else, but he learned that Tianyi Sect valued character more than talent when accepting disciples, and he considered himself a kind and upright person.
Otherwise, one cannot cultivate the righteous energy of the Heavenly Gang.
But he hadn't forgotten that their Tiangang Sect had produced a scoundrel, which was why they had ended up in this state.
Although compared to other sects that were destroyed, this is already a rare and commendable result.
Given a choice, who would willingly allow their sect to be destroyed and merged into another sect?
