Chapter 26: The Demon King Returns to Yuanqing
Lingxiang spent a long time arranging things and finally managed to arrange all her precious spiritual plants. Just as she was worrying about how to move them to Yuanqing, she saw Maidong coming out of the room carrying large and small bags.
Although this girl looks thin, she is born with great strength. She moved things back and forth several times without showing any sign of fatigue.
"Seventh Senior Brother, your disciple's meals are not eaten in vain. I just went to the mountains to avoid the limelight. After she cleaned up the place, nothing in Youran Residence was left." Lingxiang wiped the sweat off her face and said while fanning herself.
Master Fuyin chuckled and shook his head. He picked up the large bag of books that Maidong had just packed and was about to put them in the box, but then he frowned. Should he order his Maidong to eat less?
"Look at you, the message has been sent back. After all, you are an elder in charge of punishment, and you have many disciples under you. Those stupid disciples of yours didn't even ask to come and help my senior sister. I'll give them a good beating when I get back."
"Yuan Qing has just rested, and the mountain gate is wide open. There are many things for them to do. I only told my senior brothers. Do you want them to come over?" Master Fuyin joked.
Lingxiang thought about it after hearing this and suddenly laughed.
"Forget it, forget it. You are just a bunch of old bones. Don't sprain your back and break these treasures of mine." As he said this, he took out two pieces of stalactites from the Qiankun bag on his waist and placed them together with the spiritual plant.
When Fu Yin saw this, he couldn't help but worry - maybe his junior sister should be disciplined, as she didn't have any ladylike manners at all.
Lingxiang entrusted the items to the Pingchuan Escort Agency in the city. The chief escort had received favors from Lingxiang, so he patted his chest and promised to deliver her treasures safely.
After hearing the escort leader's repeated assurances, Lingxiang finally felt at ease to follow Master Fuyin up the mountain.
The headmaster, the headmaster and several elders were all standing on the circular pedestal behind the Hunyuan Ritual. When Lingxiang followed Master Fuyin into the Wuji Hall, the elders all looked at her with different expressions. Only Master Shangqing and Master Qianyuan still had their eyes closed, as if they were resting.
"Hey, it's not a festival, but all of you brothers can gather together like this. It's really not easy!" Lingxiang smiled and perfunctorily bowed to the elders.
"You're still willing to come back. I thought you were indulging in worldly affairs and following some monster!"
The one who spoke was the Yuanqing sect's chief elder, Zhao Ming Zhenren. He was in charge of the sect's daily security and the mountain gate formation, and was the fifth disciple of the previous sect leader.
"Look at what you said. Why should I be reluctant to go back to my own home? Besides, if I really let the monsters catch me, wouldn't that be doing justice for the heaven? Those monsters will be tortured to death by me. Didn't Fifth Senior Brother often say this when we were young?" Lingxiang didn't care and wandered around the Wuji Palace.
"I haven't been back for a while. Even the meeting hall has started displaying spiritual treasures." Lingxiang picked up a bead and said, "Wow! This mermaid pearl is of good quality. Why don't you lend it to me to play with for a few days?"
The two elders in charge of spirits, Danyang and Danzhu, were amused by Lingxiang - after not seeing this little girl for a long time, she was still so unscrupulous.
"Nonsense! How disgraceful!" Elder Zhao Ming hurried down from the pedestal of the Hunyuan Instrument and snatched the bead back from Lingxiang's hand - this was the formation-fixing bead of the mountain-guarding formation, how could he just take it away casually?
This little girl is really going to cause him trouble.
"Oh my, oh my! Fifth Brother! Look at you, you care about me, but you have a soft heart but a sharp tongue. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you don't want me to come back!" Lingxiang said, and picked up a sword from the side.
Elder Zhaoming had just put the mermaid pearl back to its original place. Seeing Lingxiang like this, he hurriedly snatched the sword from her hand - this was the Star Sword used for setting up the formation. If there was a problem with any mountain formation, this treasure was indispensable.
On this side, Lingxiang was teasing Elder Zhaoming, and on the other side, Fuyin was sitting on the pedestal.
"There are many inconveniences in the letter, so I will now explain everything to my fellow disciples one by one."
So he told everything he had seen and heard in Youran Residence in detail. After listening to it, Master Qianyuan opened his eyes.
"You mean the dual-blade monk?" He looked at Master Shangqing and said, "Brother, look..."
The True Man Shangqing did not open his eyes, but just stood there motionless.
"I'm afraid he fell asleep again?" Lingxiang went up to the Hunyuan stage and stood at the last position.
"You naughty monkey, you are an elder of a sect after all. Why don't you control your temper and speak without restraint? How can you be so disrespectful to the sect leader?" The person who spoke at this time was Yuanqing's elder, Master Donghui, who was in charge of a scripture and taught morality to his disciples.
"How can I be considered an elder? You all have profound cultivation bases, but I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage. I can't even catch up with Senior Brother Shangqing's eldest disciple, Han Yang," Lingxiang said, covering her face with a pretentious look and picking up the tone: "I'm also pitiful. It would be better for me to follow your master. It would be better than suffering such humiliation..."
"Forget it, forget it. This girl hasn't been like this for just one or two days," Shangqing Zhenren said with his eyes still closed. "Now that I'm back, let's continue..."
"Wait! Stop talking about furnace master. Why is the sect missing someone like me to watch the furnace, or are you all just craving those furnace-turning peanuts?" Lingxiang interrupted Master Shangqing before he could finish. "I just came here to seek protection. Don't give me some ridiculous title. I'm used to being idle down the mountain, so I'm not fit to be a sect elder."
"Don't be willful! Listen to your senior brother's arrangements!" At this time, Master Zhao Ming went up to the Hunyuan Platform. Hearing Lingxiang talking nonsense, he quickly scolded her.
"My fellow disciples are all doing their own thing, so why should I do anything? Now I am free and easy at Qingwei Peak, isn't that wonderful? Why should I become an elder? Aren't you afraid that I will lead you disciples astray?"
Lingxiang's words actually made Master Zhaoming feel that what she said made sense - in the past few years, many of his disciples had been instigated by her to do wrong things.
Zhenren Zhaoming couldn't help but stroke his forehead and hurriedly persuaded Zhenren Shangqing, saying that Lingxiang was still cautious and her temperament was not stable, and that her qualifications were not enough to convince others.
After hearing this, Shangqing Zhenren frowned slightly - doesn't this discredit the reputation of Lingxiang?
Although Lingxiang was still young and her cultivation wasn't high, she was still a senior. If she just followed her temper, how would she explain this to her deceased master? It would also be difficult to explain to others.
Taoist Shangqing opened his eyes and looked at Taoist Qianyuan, intending to let his resourceful junior brother come up with a solution - he had no idea how to deal with this little junior sister.
As brothers who had been teachers together for many years, Zhenren Qianyuan could naturally understand what he was thinking and worried about from a look. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
"Why not become the head of Qingwei Peak first? Once Junior Sister's mind has settled down, we can make other plans..."
This method is quite good. It can not only help her calm down, but also allow her to participate in the relevant affairs of the sect, and also protect her in the mountains.
"Let's do it this way, but in this case, you are not allowed to enter or leave Wuji Palace without being summoned." Shangqing Zhenren nodded.
"Hey, this room is full of good things and I can't take them away. It doesn't matter if I don't come!" Lingxiang said and waved her hand nonchalantly, but she heard Master Zhaoming shudder. When the elder who passed on the skills, Master Chengxin, saw this, he forced a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
