Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Take You to Elope
"I want you to help me leave Lufeng and no longer be under Shen Yanyuan's control." Ruan Mingyu said with a firm look.
"Just for this?" Song Chenxi joked, "Sister-in-law, you want me to elope with you."
Ruan Mingyu puffed up his cheeks and said, "Elopement is fine, anything else is fine, as long as you can take me away."
Song Chenxi: "You really don't want to be with Shen Yanyuan? But I wouldn't like him either. He's so boring."
"You've asked the right person. I do have a solution."
Hearing him say this, Ruan Mingyu's eyes lit up.
Song Chenxi said: "I have two methods here, which one do you choose?"
Now it was Ruan Mingyu's turn to speak: "Tell me about it."
Song Chenxi: "First of all, the Sanqing Taoist priest is recruiting disciples. If you become his disciple, you will be Shen Yanyuan's junior brother, and he can't do anything to you."
"Secondly," he said tenderly with a smile on his lips, "I'll go and get you and tell you that I fell in love with you at first sight and want to stay with you forever."
Although he knew that the second one was nonsense, Ruan Mingyu still said with a smile: "Really? Thank you, brother. You are the best."
Song Chenxi couldn't help laughing and asked, "Which one do you choose?"
Ruan Mingyu: "The first one."
Song Chenxi: "Not everyone can be chosen as a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Don't come crying and beg me when the time comes."
Ruan Mingyu: "It's okay to cry then."
Song Chenxi: "In that case, I'll take you out now." He was very curious about how Ruan Mingyu recovered his memory, and even more curious about what expression Shen Yanyuan would have when his little toy flew away after he came out of seclusion.
The more Song Chenxi thought about it, the more excited he became. He grabbed Ruan Mingyu's wrist and wanted to take him out of Lufeng's barrier.
Ruan Mingyu pointed to the silver bracelet on his wrist and said, "This thing can be used for positioning."
Song Chenxi tried to help him remove it for a long time but failed. However, he managed to pry open the key on it and removed the positioning mechanism, leaving only the winter warm and summer cool function: "Now he can't find you."
--------------
Song Chenxi took Ruan Mingyu out of Lufeng. This was Ruan Mingyu's first time going outside of Lufeng. He asked all sorts of questions along the way, annoying Song Chenxi.
"Are you a sparrow, chirping?"
Ruan Mingyu was young and curious about everything: "Brother, I haven't seen the world. If you are annoyed, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Song Chenxi said, "I forgot, you just said you wanted to establish a Word Spirit."
In the world of cultivating immortals, words are the most unbreakable oaths. Once made, they must be fulfilled. If not, at best, the cultivation level will decline, and at worst, the body and soul will be destroyed.
Ruan Mingyu nodded and was about to make a vow that if anyone told anyone that he was a demon cultivator, he would be struck by lightning and die miserably, but Song Chenxi suddenly said, "Killing you is too easy. So, just repeat after me—"
"If I, Ruan Mingyu, reveal the fact that Song Chenxi is practicing magic, I will become a little sparrow that will never sing."
Why did he know my name? Did he investigate him after coming down?
Ruan Mingyu was more than happy not to have to swear an oath. He nodded and swore as he was told.
After standing up, Song Chenxi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and his whole person became gloomy: "Ruan Mingyu, you are of no use to me now."
He drew his sword, Ruan Mingyu's eyebrows jumped and he took a few steps back. Seeing that he had scared someone, Song Chenxi laughed and closed the scabbard again.
Song Chenxi changed his gloomy expression, patted his face, and said softly: "Don't worry, I don't plan to kill you for the time being. After all, there are not many people as interesting as you."
Ruan Mingyu looked at him with a fake smile, slandering him in his heart.
Playing with him here again!
-----------
With the help of Song Chenxi, Ruan Mingyu signed up for the Sanqing Taoist's disciple selection. Those who came were all disciples from aristocratic families, and the place was packed with people.
It is said that there are only two disciples under the tutelage of Taoist Sanqing. Although alchemy is not welcome in the Seven Star Sect, it is a well-known sect in the world of immortal cultivation after all, so naturally many people come.
Ruan Mingyu appeared here like an alien. He had neither superb cultivation nor a prominent family background.
The Taoist Sanqing was a kind old man with two white mustaches beside his mouth.
The white-bearded old man came in and took a look around. When his eyes fell on Ruan Mingyu's face, he paused noticeably before saying, "I'm here to accept you as a disciple today. I have three requirements: first, hard work and perseverance; second, nimble hands and feet; and third, high moral character."
Ruan Mingyu thought to himself, what's the difference between this and being an ox or a horse? If he was an ox or a horse in modern times, he would have to be an ox or a horse in this place. What kind of ox or horse life is this?
"Those who are willing to become my disciples, please stand to the left!"
A bunch of people obediently did what he said.
He took out a magic weapon and threw it into the sky.
Everyone was talking about it: "What is he doing?"
When the magic weapon took effect, runes lit up under their feet, and then the space around Ruan Mingyu suddenly changed, and the noisy crowd was no longer visible.
This must be the test given to him by the Three Pure Ones Taoist.
The surroundings transformed into a lush bamboo forest. Ruan Mingyu cautiously set foot on the path within the bamboo forest, expecting some beast or bird of prey to appear, but nothing was there. He walked around a few more times but couldn't find his way out of the bamboo forest. Tired, he found a random place to sit down and soon fell asleep.
When he woke up, he was back to the starting place, and people around him looked at him enviously.
After a while, a few more people woke up.
Sanqing nodded: "We won't wait for the others."
It seems that the candidate for disciple is among them.
The Taoist Sanqing and his disciples were whispering to each other. Ruan Mingyu saw them pointing at him and vaguely heard them say, "The talents are all similar. Why not choose the one that suits your eyes the most? Look, does that one look like..."
After a while, the old man Sanqing moistened his throat and announced, "I have chosen my disciple."
Everyone was looking forward to hearing their name called.
The old man with white beard stroked his beard, kept the other person in suspense, and said, "The candidate is you." He pointed his finger in the direction of Ruan Mingyu.
Everyone present was shocked and talked about it:
"What? It's actually him?"
"Is there some shady plot going on? How can he compare to us except for his appearance?"
"Did he bribe someone? No matter who I choose, I won't choose him!"
Ruan Mingyu had never thought that he would be chosen so easily. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Yanyuan probably wouldn't dare to do anything to him in the future.
The old man pointed at him and said, "You, come, set off immediately and return to Yuantai Peak."
Soon, a huge white crane was seen flying over. It was the immortal's mount.
Everyone showed envy on their faces. What kind of shit luck did Ruan Mingyu have to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect within a day.
Ruan Mingyu climbed onto the crane's back.
A gust of wind blew, the crane spread its wings, and Ruan Mingyu felt his body floating in the air.
Slowly, the buildings beneath his feet turned into tiny black dots. Now, he was truly going to cultivate immortality...
Ruan Mingyu couldn't explain the emotions running through his mind right now. Happy or sad? He couldn't tell. On the one hand, he was overjoyed to be free of Shen Yanyuan's control, yet on the other, he was lost in the uncertainty of the future.
Suddenly, an infinite melancholy arose in his heart.
The old man Sanqing said, "You are not happy about cultivating immortality?"
Ruan Mingyu said: "I am happy, of course I am happy, but the road to immortality is long, so it is inevitable to feel melancholy."
The old man said: "You are worrying too early. If you go up the mountain to cultivate immortality, more troubles will be waiting for you."
Ruan Mingyu asked curiously, "Why did you choose me?"
"I saw everything you encountered in your dream. People like you, who have no desires and only seek a vast world, are very rare. Now you understand why I chose you."
"I have no desires or requests?"
"To be more precise, you don't care about anything."
The crane continued to soar, and soon arrived at Yuantai Peak. Looking down, it saw wisps of fairy air, which seemed not like the human world.
Sanqing threw him somewhere and left him there, telling him to wait and someone would come to pick him up soon.
Ruan Mingyu waited until he was about to fall asleep when he finally saw a female cultivator coming over.
The female cultivator was smiling, had eyebrows like distant mountains, and a high ponytail. She gave people a very neat feeling. There seemed to be some pendant hanging around her neck. When Ruan Mingyu got closer, he found that it was a cat, a live cat. The cat was squatting on her neck and didn't jump around. It was really strange.
The female cultivator asked, "Is this our Junior Brother Ruan Mingyu?"
Ruan Mingyu said: "Senior Sister, it's me."
Senior Sister: "From now on, you will be a member of our Yuantai Peak. Come with me first, I will take you to the accommodation."
Ruan Mingyu nodded and followed her. After walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.
It was a quiet hilltop with lush green trees full of life.
The senior sister pointed to the room on the far right of the courtyard and said, "You will live there from now on."
Ruan Mingyu went in and put down his things. It seemed that someone was living there, but since his senior sister asked him to live here, there shouldn't be any problem.
After a tiring day, Ruan Mingyu just wanted to fall asleep. He took off his outer robe, lay down on it, and fell into sleep.
Before I could fall asleep, I suddenly heard a voice mixed with a chuckle: "Mingyu, are you sleeping well?"
