Hearing the whispers around him, Dongfang Mian's heart skipped a beat. The Misty Secret Realm of the Misty Palace? That sounded pretty good.
Since we can't find Yan Lin and the others for the time being, I might as well train myself first; maybe there will be some pleasant surprises.
Thinking this through, Dongfang Mian began to carefully select a sect. First, the sect couldn't be too big, otherwise a new disciple like herself would probably be sacrificed as cannon fodder. Second, the sect couldn't be too small either, otherwise, without enough strength, she would probably be wiped out.
After much deliberation, Dongfang Mian still couldn't find a sect that suited her taste. She sighed in frustration, found a tea stall, sat down, ordered some tea and snacks, and relaxed while enjoying them.
Halfway through the meal, Dongfang Mian suddenly stopped putting a pastry into her mouth. She realized she had forgotten something important: she didn't have the money to pay the bill.
The thought that she was penniless made Dongfang Mian feel utterly disgusted, her mind filled with thoughts of how to handle the situation discreetly.
She sat there for two whole hours, drinking the entire pot of tea. After the tea stall owner looked her over suspiciously several times, Dongfang Mian finally decided to get up because she really couldn't hold it in any longer and needed to relieve herself. If only she had become a saint, she would have been able to ignore reactions like hunger and the urge to urinate. In that case, she could at least sit there until dark.
Just as she lifted her buttocks halfway up, a figure walked over, sat down opposite Dongfang Mian, and said, "Miss, are you here to pay respects to a sect?"
Dongfang Mian looked up and saw a handsome man sitting opposite her, with a frivolous smile on his face and fanning himself with a folding fan.
"Who are you?"
"I am an elder of Tianyin Valley, my name is..." the handsome man said, waving his fan.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right back," the man said, but Dongfang Mian had already run off before he could finish speaking. She didn't forget to call out to the tea stall owner, "Boss, go get the bill from him."
The handsome man watched in disbelief as Dongfang Mian's figure gradually disappeared into the distance. He was still in shock when the tea stall owner stretched his hand under his nose to ask for money.
Could I have run into a scammer?
Fortunately, not long after, Dongfang Mian returned briskly, having satisfied her needs. Upon learning that the man had already paid, she nodded in satisfaction, sat down opposite him, and said, "Alright, now tell me, where did you say you were from?"
"I am an elder of Tianyin Valley, and my name is Hua Qianxun," the handsome man said, waving his fan.
"Chihiro, what Chihiro!" Dongfang Mian slammed her fist on the table and asked, her anger rising.
Startled by her sudden movement, Hua Qianxun dropped her fan and stammered, "Hua... Hua Qianxun, what happened..."
As Hua Qianxun spoke softly, she carefully recalled whether she had offended her recently.
"Hua Qianxun, then it's alright," Dongfang Mian said casually.
The two looked at each other, falling into an awkward silence.
Finally, Dongfang Mian broke the silence first, "Is your Tianyin Valley recruiting disciples? Are you also after the Misty Secret Realm?"
"You already know about the Misty Secret Realm? You're very well-informed. That's right, we're recruiting disciples specifically for this Misty Secret Realm. Normally, we wouldn't even look at countless people kneeling before our Heavenly Sound Valley begging to become our disciples," Hua Qianxun said proudly.
This arrogant, conceited, and pretentious attitude is just like Yan Lin from before, making you want to punch him.
