Chapter 37 Departure
Ye Luo returned to her cave and spent a long time setting up some formations on the flying fan, just in case.
"Look! What do you think of my Xuanji Fan?" Ye Luo asked with a smug look. This was a magical artifact that he and Feng Yue had modified. Since it could be used as a flying artifact, it could also be used for fighting and defending against enemies.
Jun Yi, who was cultivating in the spring, raised his eyes and looked at the big "idiot" on the fan, while the other side was painted with strange symbols. He said speechlessly, "...You're really asking for it."
"Tsk, I'm letting you feel the formation on it."
"So-so." Jun Yi looked at him and asked again, "What do those strange symbols mean?"
"Hmph, I'm not telling you!" Ye Luo ignored him and continued rummaging through his things. After a long while, he looked up and asked, "Are you coming with me?"
Jun Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he gave a soft "hmm." Ye Luo couldn't tell whether he was willing or not. So she put down the golden bamboo brush in her hand and said, "Actually, I think... it might be better for you to stay in the Spirit Spring to recuperate."
Jun Yi leaned against the spring pool without speaking, his well-defined fingers fidgeting anxiously with the ring on his finger. After a long while, he said, "You don't want me to go?"
"No!"
Ye Luo was afraid he would suddenly have another fit of madness, so she quickly explained, "I'm afraid something might happen to you, after all, your mind isn't working very well right now..."
Jun Yi: "..."
Ye Luo suddenly realized she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, "No, no, no! What if you run into your old enemies? I can't beat them... So it's all for your own good!"
"If you can't beat me, just hand me over."
"Huh? Is that okay?"
"You're kidding me!" Jun Yi's face instantly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "You really think that way?"
"...Didn't you say it yourself?" Ye Luo muttered softly again, "That unpredictable guy is really hard to please."
"..."
Jun Yi felt like he was a huge victim of injustice, so he simply closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
The next day.
Almost the entire Peach Blossom Valley mobilized, leaving only a few people to guard the mountain gate.
"Is everyone here?" Ming Cang asked, then directed Xiao Huan, "Count the number of outer disciples."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
At this moment, Cen Feng looked around and, as expected, did not see the mysterious Fourth Elder. So he approached Ye Luo and whispered, "What does that Fourth Elder look like?"
"Hmm... beautiful..." Ye Luo stroked his chin, recalling her appearance, "She was dressed in white, tall, with a cool and aloof face and an extraordinary temperament. She was the kind of cold beauty."
"oh oh."
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Ye Luo's chest, startling him so much that he trembled. He quietly walked to the side, pulled open his shirt, and angrily shouted, "What are you doing?!"
To everyone's surprise, Jun Yi didn't say anything, but just glared at him with his golden beast eyes, then buried his head in his arms and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.
Hey! You're so spoiled—
Just as Ye Luo was about to explode, Nan Muyin walked over with a smile and asked, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
"Uh...it's nothing."
"It's time to set off."
"Okay, sure."
A large group of people set off and disappeared into the air with a whoosh. A white figure stood in front of the main hall entrance, gazed at it for a moment, and then also vanished.
The preliminary competition was held in Tiankun City, which was quite far from Peach Blossom Valley. Along the way, they encountered many sects heading to participate in the competition, all of whom cast strange glances at them.
The reason is simple: they flew there, while others either traveled in elegant flying boats or imposing warships.
Even the rogue cultivators who went to watch the battle paid some spirit stones and took a direct passenger ship.
Who would be like them...
"Sigh..." Ye Luo turned her head and looked at everyone's tired faces, secretly complaining in her heart. If this continues, everyone will probably be exhausted before they even reach Tiankun City.
"Master, how about we take a boat? We don't have many spirit stones anyway..."
After a long silence, Ye Luo asked again. At this moment, Ming Cang, who was in the lead, turned his head, his cloudy old eyes bloodshot, and said solemnly, "This is also a kind of cultivation!"
"..."
Hearing this, everyone was also filled with bitterness, but had no choice but to continue flying on their swords. All they wanted to do now was reach their destination as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a large ship approached and a mocking voice rang out, "Oh, isn't this Ye Luo? What a coincidence!"
Ye Luo rolled her eyes. Who else could it be but Su Yuyuan?
"Of course! What a coincidence!"
"You flew all the way here, aren't you tired?"
"It's alright. This way, people can be trained. It's better than some useless disciples from certain sects."
Hearing this, Su Yuyuan chuckled and glanced at Ming Cang and the others, not daring to be too presumptuous. "Since we parted ways in the Spirit Mansion Forbidden Area last time, I've been thinking about you every single day!"
"No, no, no, you're ugly, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares."
Yu Qianling couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Not only is she ugly, she talks too much."
"That's right, not only is he talkative but also incompetent, he can't even stand still." Cen Feng glanced at him and added with a sarcastic remark.
"you--"
"Second Senior Brother." Bai Ruoqian walked out of the private room, followed by several male disciples. They looked at Ye Luo with disdain.
"Ha, I didn't expect you would actually dare to come?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty brave." Ye Luo replied casually, inwardly cursing, "This is so damn annoying. They're all treating me like I'm a monkey. When will this ever end?"
Yang Shen, who was standing beside her, saw him and said with some displeasure, "Junior Brother Ye Luo, I didn't expect Junior Sister to be telling the truth. You really went to Peach Blossom Valley!"
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Why?
"Why?" Ye Luo glanced at Bai Ruoqian and Su Yuyuan and said, "Didn't they tell you about all the dirty things they did?"
Yang frowned for a long time before saying, "It's just a small scuffle, why are you making such a fuss about it—"
"Can you shut up?!" Ye Luo jumped onto the ship's side and said coldly, "You call taking people's lives a trivial matter? Are you out of your mind?"
"Those were just accidents..."
"Hehe, ever since Bai Ruoqian came to Tianfeng Sect, this kind of thing is no longer an accident but the norm. Haven't you noticed it yourself?"
"Don't blame your junior sister, she's young—"
"Enough!"
Ye Luo interrupted him coldly, saying that these people had been completely brainwashed and that anything she said was a waste of breath.
He took a deep breath, too lazy to waste words with them, and said, "Gentlemen, just say what you have to say at once. I really don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
The people from Peach Blossom Valley had long been unable to bear it any longer. With grim faces, they jumped onto the boat, and the oppressive atmosphere made it seem like a major battle was about to break out.
Seeing this, Su Yuyuan felt a little uneasy. "You all get off... This is a warship of the Tianfeng Sect!"
Seeing his expression, Ye Luo scoffed, "Why are you so nervous? Don't you guys like to chat? I'm standing right here, how about we chat to our hearts' content?"
