Chapter 729 Returning to the Sect
"Ji Weiming." Ji Wenyi called out to Ji Weiming when he was about to walk out of the garden.
Ji Wenyi took the fallen leaves from his hair and told him.
"I'm going to correct you."
"I met Abao much earlier than you and Ji Wenyi. You seem to have forgotten that when I was in Yongzhou, I once encountered a flower thief, and that person was Abao."
"If we go by first-come, first-served order," Ji Wenyi said contentedly, "you won't have a chance to sit at the table."
Ji Weiming did not stop walking. He no longer wanted to say another word to Ji Wenyi.
The flying boat sailed at high speed for nearly half a month and finally returned to Qingzhengzong.
Ye Xiaoman returned to the sect after many months, causing a sensation throughout the sect.
When she left, she was an inconspicuous Qi Refining Stage cultivator. After a trip, when she came back, she became the number one on the Centennial Ranking, a top-grade Golden Elixir cultivator favored by the Ten Thunder Tribulations, and a Jindan cultivator with a promising future.
There are also stories about her that are both outrageous and reasonable, such as when she was in the God's Realm, she joined the mermaid guerrillas to resist tyranny, and was sent to the ghost world by a powerful person for saving civilians... Her image as a glorious light of righteousness has become more and more noble in the eyes of her fellow disciples.
In the past, Ye Xiaoman had a bad reputation for stealing underwear and being suspected of colluding with the demons. After this incident, no one remembered her dark history anymore.
The Qing Zhengzong originally had a filter for the Nameless Sword, so Ye Xiaoman's popularity reached an unprecedented height.
The sect leader led all the great elders and personally lined the streets to welcome Ye Xiaoman home. This was an honor that ordinary disciples had never been able to enjoy since the founding of the sect.
Ye Xiaoman jumped off the flying boat. It was clearly just a simple action of flying down from a great height on a sword, but she heard thunderous cheers in her ears.
"Wow——" Applause came from all directions.
She landed on the ground with a little surprise, and saw an unprecedented bustle in front of the mountain gate. The gate and both sides of the mountain road were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. The sect leader and the people from the sect had all come down the mountain and were standing in front of the sect gate, looking at them with a smile.
This kind of grand ceremony had only occurred before when the Son of God visited in person.
"You're back." The clan leader greeted with an unprecedentedly gentle tone, "I'm glad you're home safely."
Ye Xiaoman felt that the Sect Master's gaze towards her was somewhat flattering. "Come here, Xiaoman. I will personally take you back to the cave."
Ye Xiaoman rubbed her hands vainly, "How can I trouble you, old man?"
After he finished speaking, colorful ribbons floated down from the sky, and he proudly stepped onto the steps of the mountain road side by side with the sect master. His back was arrogant, and he had the aura of a successor to the sect leader.
The fellow students surrounded Ye Xiaoman enthusiastically and followed her up the mountain.
Ye Xiaoman has brought great honor to the sect. The ordinary disciples have also been bathed in her glory. People keep asking about "the genius Ye Xiaoman in your sect" and some people even give gifts to Ye Xiaoman just to use their connections to get to know her.
The senior brothers and sisters who specialized in contributing to the well-known gossip magazines in the cultivation world hovered in front of Ye Xiaoman, holding notebooks and brushes to interview her.
"Junior Sister Ye, as the saying goes, behind every successful person there is something that supports them. Some say it's the faith of a cultivator, while others say it's the hard work they put in. Can you tell me the secret behind your success?"
The sect leader and Elder Tang coughed vainly, hoping that Ye Xiaoman could mention their contributions and let them appear in books and magazines.
Every time Ye Xiaoman was in such a pretentious occasion, she regretted not having read much.
She touched her chin enigmatically, pondering and thinking. Finally, she answered solemnly, "I think behind every successful person, there is a cervical vertebra."
"Hahaha, Junior Sister Ye really loves to joke."
Ye Xiaoman looked at the questioner silently. She really thought so.
"Junior Sister Ye, I heard that you are very diligent in your training. You get up every day and run at least ten miles on your sword. Can you tell me the purpose of your daily training?"
What else could it be? To run faster when the pond overturns.
Ye Xiaoman glanced at Si Kongqing, who was standing beside her with a sense of honor, and stammered, "There's no purpose, is there?"
"There are always benefits to hard work, right?"
Ye Xiaoman nodded in agreement. "Yes, if you all learn from me and run ten miles on a sword every day, then in three years you will find that you are very far away from the sect."
"...It sounds like Junior Sister Ye is very strict with herself, constantly pushing herself to improve. This must be the reason why you, a pseudo-five spiritual roots person, have achieved such great results today. Oh my god, how inspiring! I can see you practicing day and night, and tears are about to fall!"
"Not really," Ye Xiaoman honestly denied the compliment, "I've always believed that it's better to let yourself go than to force yourself."
"Well, Junior Sister Ye, you've encountered many difficult and dangerous situations along the way, surrounded by powerful people. I heard that you always rushed to the front lines. How brave! Can you share with us how you fought through these difficult and extraordinary battles and successfully survived?"
"Survival experience?" Ye Xiaoman scratched her head in embarrassment. "I never fight those who can defeat me."
"...Junior Sister Ye is really humorous."
The seniors who were interviewing Ye Xiaoman retreated reluctantly. Ye Xiaoman's uncultured aura was overwhelming.
"How do you feel about Ye Xiaoman?"
Senior Sister pondered for a moment.
"I think we need to see the essence through phenomena and not be deceived by Junior Sister Ye. You see, we asked her many core questions, whether it was the secrets of cultivation or the inside story of the battle, but she accidentally dodged them all and didn't reveal any information to us."
The senior brother stood in awe, "Do you want to say that she is scheming?"
"No, I think she's just an honest person." Senior Sister beat her chest and stamped her feet. "She has the opportunity to represent the human race in the Six Realms. Others will seize every opportunity to promote themselves in order to be selected. Look at her, what truth is she talking about?"
The senior brother asked: "Then how should we write the promotion this time?"
"Seeking truth from facts, we should promote Sister Ye as the most honest person in history."
"Okay, everyone is used to seeing smart people, so maybe they will like honest people more!"
The eldest brother and eldest sister followed at the end of the team and finally brought all their fellow disciples home, so they could finally take a break.
The eldest sister counted the number of people again and again, but she always felt that something was wrong. "Did we forget something?"
The eldest brother replied, "Are you talking about Junior Brother Xiao? He said later that he was following behind the flying boat to keep watch for us. He should be arriving at the sect soon."
The eldest sister suddenly slapped her thigh, "Master Li! We forgot to bring Master Li back!"
Senior Brother: “…”
Only then did everyone remember that Li Jiumo was still in the ghost world breastfeeding his child.
