“No, Elder Lin is currently cultivating and refuses to receive guests,” Sun Muqing said without hesitation.
After a pause, Sun Muqing continued, "Out of consideration for our journey together, Elder Lin made things easier for you by allowing you to enter the Divine Wood Sect. But Bai Muxue, you'd better not have any unrealistic expectations because of this. Elder Lin won't help you anymore. If you want to become stronger and climb higher in the Divine Wood Sect, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"These are Elder Lin's original words; I'm just relaying them to you."
A deep look of disappointment immediately appeared on Bai Muxue's face.
She sighed softly and nodded, saying, "I understand Elder Lin's meaning. I will not harbor any illusions about relying on her; I will work hard on my own. Since Elder Lin is not available to receive guests right now, I will not disturb her any longer. Please convey my thanks to Elder Lin to Senior Sister Sun."
After saying that, Bai Muxue turned and left without stopping for a moment.
After Bai Muxue left, Xiong Shaochen, Xiong Shaogang, and the others naturally wouldn't stay there any longer, so they also left one after another.
Sun Muqing returned to the cave and sat down beside Ye Feng, asking with a smile, "Ye Feng, why haven't you seen Bai Muxue?"
"What's the point of seeing her? Once I get the Divine Wood Azure Sky Technique from the Divine Wood Sect, or thoroughly comprehend the Wood Element True Qi, we'll pack up and leave. At that time, our identities will be exposed."
"If we get too close to Bai Muxue now, she might be implicated after we leave."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Sun Muqing's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"So, it's actually better for her if we don't see her?" Sun Muqing asked.
"That's exactly right."
The night breeze nodded with a smile.
After returning to her residence, Bai Muxue rested for only a short while before descending the mountain.
Upon returning to the Bai family home, Bai Muxue saw her father, Bai Yuewei, the head of the Bai family, as soon as she entered the hall.
Bai Yuewei was beaming, grinning from ear to ear.
"Father, I've entered the Divine Wood Sect!" Bai Muxue said with a smile.
“I know, I know, I’ve already heard about it. Mu Qing came back before you, how could I not know about your entry into the Divine Wood Sect? And I heard Mu Qing say that the reason you were able to enter the Divine Wood Sect was entirely because of the Third Elder, Lin Bifeng, is that right?” Bai Yuewei asked with a smile.
“Yes, without Elder Lin’s help, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t have been able to get in. There are only ten spots for True Yuan Realm disciples. The Xiong family has two, the Nan family has two, and people from two other major families in other cities have four. She Manqing, the disciple of the Eighth Elder of the Divine Wood Sect, has one more. They all have backgrounds and connections!”
"There's only one spot left! If Elder Lin hadn't spoken up for me, I probably wouldn't have been able to get it."
Bai Muxue harbored deep resentment, and her expression was very displeased.
Through this selection process, Bai Muxue has truly seen through the Shenmu Sect.
Bai Muxue originally had some illusions about the Shenmu Sect, thinking that as one of the top five sects in the Five Elements World, the Shenmu Sect must have some extraordinary characteristics.
But now she realized that the Divine Wood Sect was actually incredibly filthy, with far too many shameful things to do!
Although she has now become a disciple of the Shenmu Sect, Bai Muxue feels no pride or honor, let alone any sense of belonging to the sect.
Bai Muxue had already told herself in her heart to treat the Shenmu Sect only as a place to train and improve herself!
"This is great news, we must celebrate!" Bai Yuewei said.
“We definitely deserve to celebrate,” Bai Muxue nodded.
Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Yuewei said, "In that case, why don't you write a letter to the Third Elder of the Shenmu Sect and invite him to a meal? It would be a way to thank him in person!"
"this……"
Recalling what Sun Muqing had said to her today, Bai Muxue's face showed deep hesitation.
"Let's forget it, Dad. He's already helped me enough. If I ask him for help again, it would seem like I'm pestering him to build a relationship," Bai Muxue said, shaking her head.
Bai Yuewei frowned and said earnestly, "How can you think like that? They helped you, and we're treating them to a meal to express our gratitude, not to pester them and try to build a relationship. Besides, whether you invite them or not is your business, and whether they come or not is their business. If Elder Lin really doesn't want to have too close a relationship with our Bai family and doesn't want to come, that's fine too. We've already fulfilled our courtesy by inviting them, and if they don't want to come, that's not our problem."
Bai Yuewei's words do make some sense.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Muxue nodded and said, "Alright, I will do as you say."
So the next day at noon, a letter was delivered to Yefeng's cultivation cave.
This letter was naturally written by Bai Muxue herself, and Ye Feng could tell from the words that Bai Muxue had put a lot of effort into writing it.
Even so, Ye Feng had no intention of attending this so-called celebratory banquet.
"Are you really not going?" Sun Muqing asked.
"I'm really not going." Night Wind shook his head.
"But Lingxuan and I still want to have a big meal," Sun Muqing said, a little embarrassed.
Jiang Lingxuan nodded repeatedly, and looked at Ye Feng with anticipation.
Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "If you really intend to go, it's not impossible, but it's best not to say anything carelessly once you get there, so as not to be misled."
"Don't worry, we're not that stupid." Sun Muqing nodded vigorously.
Night fell.
The most luxurious and grand restaurant in Qingling City—Chaotian Restaurant—was brightly lit.
Five square tables were set up in the luxurious private room on the top floor, and the tables were filled with delicacies from land and sea.
At this moment, the private room was already full of people, all of whom were prominent figures in Qingling City.
Bai Yuewei stood up, holding a wine glass, his face beaming, and said, "Thank you all for coming. My daughter, Mu Xue, has now entered the Divine Wood Sect and become a disciple. Given time, Mu Xue will surely become an inner disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. When Mu Xue breaks through to the Divine Travel Realm in the future, she will naturally become a protector of the Divine Wood Sect!"
So everyone present offered their congratulations and praise.
Bai Yuewei got a little carried away and added, "Moreover, my daughter has a very close relationship with Lin Bifeng, the third elder of the Shenmu Sect. Elder Lin will be here to meet everyone in a little while..."
Upon hearing this, all the guests in the room showed surprise.
Bai Muxue quickly lowered her voice and said, "Father, why are you so sure of yourself? What if Elder Lin doesn't come? We'll be embarrassed then!"
"We'll see when the time comes; there'll always be a way," Bai Yuewei said with a smile.
