Chapter 8 Autumn Victory Banquet
Three days later
After Yue Qiran felt that she could walk normally, she took the initiative to go out, wanting to leave this sect where something was wrong everywhere, but the scenery that came into her eyes made her stunned for a while.
The mountains are covered with peach trees bearing fruits, and the weather is slightly cool. It is clearly autumn. Why didn't she notice it before?
No, it was already late summer when she fell off the cliff. How could the seasons in the south and the north be so similar?
Or maybe this isn't the South?
"elder sister!"
When Xi Jing's voice rang out, she subconsciously wanted to step back, but she restrained herself.
She came over in plain clothes and asked with a smile, "Why are you out, sister?"
Yue Qiran forced herself to remain calm and said, "I'm almost well again, so I wanted to go out for a walk."
"That's fine. Xijing has been sewing clothes overnight for the past three days. Sister, go change into them later."
She nodded, and as she walked over, Xi Jing continued, "It just so happens that Second Senior Brother is coming back. Maybe we can have an extra meal tonight."
She didn't respond to this because she found that there were restrictions on the doors of every room here. What was going on?
Yue Qiran changed her clothes absentmindedly. To her surprise, the clothes were bright red. She thought Xi Jing would buy plain clothes. After all, she seemed to like plain colors very much.
As if noticing her surprise, Xi Jing smiled and said, "The first time I saw you, I felt that red would definitely suit you. Try it on, sister."
When she changed her clothes and walked out of the room, Xi Jing was talking to a strange man at the door with a complaining look on her face.
However, he restrained his expression as soon as he saw her come out. A look of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. The girl who came out was extremely beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes, a high nose, and fiery lips. At first glance, the impact of this beauty almost made him unable to recover.
But as soon as his eyes slightly shifted downwards, he looked away and said politely, "Miss, I am Xi Jing's second senior brother, Zhao Xue."
While he was looking at her, she was also looking at him. This second senior brother was not as good-looking as the previous Mr. Han, but he had a scholarly air. He looked elegant and shy, which made people feel good about him unconsciously.
She smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhao. I have no name or surname, so you can continue to call me Miss."
Although he looked puzzled, he did not ask any further questions and nodded, "Okay, girl."
After seeing them say hello, Xi Jing said with a depressed look on her face, "Sister, there will be no extra meal tonight."
"What's wrong?"
She held her hand and complained, "Xujia Sect is holding its Autumn Victory Banquet and originally ordered our peaches. Who would have thought that this business would be snatched away by another sect? How hateful!"
Unlike other sects, the Xujia Sect specializes in refining magical weapons, primarily mechas. Mechas are the Xujia Sect's unique secret technique, acting like clothing that enhances the cultivator's attack and defense. Someone has even managed to defeat an enemy of a higher rank while wearing a mecha, earning the Xujia Sect widespread fame.
The Autumn Victory Banquet is a grand banquet held by Xujiamen every three years, specially designed to entertain guests from all over the world and mainly to showcase the new mechas of Xujiamen.
The most crucial point is that the Autumn Victory Banquet is held in autumn, which means...
She calmly turned the topic to the strange people and things in the world of immortal cultivation, and soon she got the answer she wanted.
"Originally, there were three wonders in the world of immortal cultivation, but now there are only two, because one of them, Yue Qiran, was discovered to have defected to an alien race and fell off a cliff to his death."
She calmed herself down, feigned curiosity, and asked, "When did this happen?"
"It was more than two years ago. It was a long time ago."
