"Is this such a big deal?"
After a sullen breakfast, the Fifth Elder was finally too busy to take care of the children. As soon as Mei Jiu saw that the Fifth Elder was about to leave, she almost jumped three feet high with excitement in front of him.
Seeing him rush off to Xie Zhen's divination place like lightning, Mingmei and Meijiu started their "a hundred steps after a meal, live to ninety-nine" old-age stroll mode.
When they arrived at their final destination—Xie Zhen's courtyard—the disciples of Jingyun Mountain who had followed them were standing outside the courtyard, forming defensive hand seals.
Because of this spectacle, even the disciples of the Butian Sect who were passing by stopped to watch what was happening.
Why is Jingyun Mountain making such a big fuss about coming here to see their sect leader?
The onlookers also began to whisper among themselves.
The disciples of Jingyun Mountain, including Lu Xiaoyao, were completely bewildered by this display of power.
They were unsure of what important matter the sect leader had sent them to.
Lu Xiaoyao glanced at Zhen Po beside her and asked uncertainly.
Zhen Po responded with the same question: "How would I know? Who would know?"
The other disciples all shook their heads. One disciple said, "According to the usual practice, isn't the only thing to do this year to divine the auspicious day for worshipping and offering sacrifices to the past sect leaders? Is this really necessary?"
Of course, Lu Xiaoyao and the others knew about this. When they came before, they talked about something similar, like worship and divination.
She even complained that it was too ridiculous here, asking why others should worship their ancestors when it's just their own family doing so.
Isn't the situation even more obvious now?
They openly repaired the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass!
Among the crowd, the only two people who knew the truth, Mei Jiu and Ming Mei exchanged a glance but said nothing.
That statement itself is absurd.
There hasn't been a single cultivator ascending to immortality on this continent for tens of thousands of years, and you're telling someone, "Hmm, I've got it, I'll be flying soon, let's set a date." Wouldn't that be laughable?!
Isn't this ridiculous? If Bu Tianmen had that kind of ability, why don't they calculate how they themselves would ascend to immortality?
Standing discreetly outside the crowd, Mu Chen naturally saw the scene outside his master's courtyard where a group of Jingyun Mountain disciples formed an array.
He didn't speak, but just glanced at the disciples around him. Seeing this scene, the disciples of this sect couldn't help but feel itchy to do some divination.
Unfortunately, before they could even calculate it, their sect leader's decree was announced from inside the courtyard.
Divination is strictly prohibited for anyone at this time.
"Is this serious? Are you worried that other disciples might accidentally calculate something that their bodies can't withstand the backlash?"
It wasn't until Suhe's death that Lu Xiaoyao truly realized that the disciples of the Butian Sect in the game were not the charlatan fortune tellers she had encountered in previous games.
The fortune tellers here are truly skilled at divination and prediction.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be subject to the laws of nature.
"No, that's not true." Mei Jiu pulled Mingmei and the others to Lu Xiaoyao's side. Hearing this, she said, "Fortune telling also depends on luck. If so many people do it together, all the luck will be divided up. What if the result isn't a good one?"
It's like someone who avoids activities that require luck for a year or even half a year, like unscrewing a bottle cap, just to prepare for the middle school or college entrance exams.
I'm afraid that the "buy one get one free" offer will make me guess the wrong answer on the exam.
Although the principle is very simple, it is easy to lose your filter.
Some of them even exclaimed in surprise, "So he's that kind of person?"
...
"Achoo!" Xie Zhen, who wasn't actually doing any fortune-telling in the room, sneezed. His fingers, which had just deformed, suddenly straightened out. He said, "You really don't need me to tell your fortune today?"
"No need, you can calculate it when you have time."
The Fifth Elder still had a smile on his face, but the sword he was holding looked like a smiling tiger.
"My junior disciple, the sect leader, asked me to remind you not to perform divination casually recently when I arrived. It just so happens that some of our disciples have discovered some traces of that evil spirit and are asking your disciples for help. I never expected this to be such a pleasant surprise."
Besides the sect leader's nephew, there are others who have discovered that you're being targeted and want to ask for your help.
"Yes, but seeing what those evil spirits are doing outside, I really can't reveal it in front of them. I'll have to trouble you to go out and make a trip."
"Yes, I ran back and forth all night and burned two high-level teleportation talismans. Remember to give me four more."
The Fifth Elder didn't stand on ceremony. According to seniority, he was a generation older than the other party, so he naturally had to pay more when ordering around an elder. Xie Zhen nodded in agreement but didn't say anything.
...
When the door opened again, everyone's attention was focused on the two people who came out of the house. Mingmei and Meijiu, on the other hand, had sharp eyes and first noticed a small brocade box in the Fifth Elder's arms.
The box looked like it had just been taken out.
Sure enough, when everyone's attention turned to the brocade box, the Fifth Elder frowned slightly, put the box into his Qiankun bag, and then told his disciples to leave.
"So sudden?" Mingmei was taken aback. She had finally managed to recall a little bit about Mu Chen in this game that morning, and Gui Gui had even told her that Mu Chen and Xie Chen were now sharing the same body.
She hadn't even had a chance to meet him!
"Suddenly? Things are almost done, it's time to go back. Let's rest in Linjing City for the night."
Mingmei felt that what he said was somewhat contradictory.
If you're in such a hurry, why stay overnight in Linjing City?
Although Linjing City is a hundred miles away from Jingyun Mountain, it is only a short distance for the Fifth Elder's flying magic weapon.
The other disciples didn't seem to notice anything wrong. They were being pushed and surrounded by a group of people, and Mingmei would occasionally turn around to try and catch a glimpse of the person she wanted to see.
She stumbled and staggered as she walked, glancing back every now and then. Finally, just as she was about to fall because she couldn't avoid it, a pair of hands caught her.
Are you alright?
A familiar, cool fragrance wafted over, and as Mingmei looked up, she was met with a pair of unfathomable eyes.
"M...you..." Mingmei almost called out Mu Chen's name, but when Mu Chen helped her up by the shoulder, she felt the other man's strength on her arm. Then Mingmei came back to her senses and whispered, "Thank you, senior brother."
They didn't confirm each other's identities again, but simply smiled and nodded at each other, as if everything was understood without words.
"Have a safe and smooth journey!"
After helping her up, Mu Chen made no further moves. He said this as if it were just a polite remark, then stood there and watched Mingmei leave.
Mingmei kept turning back to look at Mu Chen, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end.
However, at the very last moment before she boarded the flying artifact, she turned back once more. The other person's lips moved slightly, and understanding what they wanted to express, Mingmei's eyes widened instantly...
"It's almost over."
