The next morning, Chu Hongluan came again.
Wang was so angry she wanted to curse, but she was completely helpless against her.
For several days in a row, what was even more infuriating was that this cheap apprentice couldn't sleep at night and would come to fight him! He would kick open his door and then pretend to say, "So Master is also awake."
As time went by, Wang Sheng was being driven almost insane by Chu Hongluan.
Dao Xiu loves fighting, but he's definitely not someone who gets used as a target to be hacked down every day! He swore that there was absolutely no more tragic master in the world than him, and absolutely no disciple with better talent than Chu Hongluan.
In one all-out battle after another, Chu Hongluan actually comprehended a new sword intent without any teacher!
As for him, his greatest love in life was nothing more than drinking a little wine, living a life of drunken revelry, which he considered the most enjoyable way to live.
But now, he's being chased and hacked to death by this unlucky apprentice every day. Forget about living a life of debauchery, he doesn't dare touch a drop of alcohol, otherwise he'll really be hacked to death in his dreams!
He just wants to be an alcoholic! Not a dead man!
Left with no other choice, he went to complain to the mistress of the pavilion.
No way! The apprentice you found for me is too ruthless! He beats me up every day! Look at my old arms and legs, if this continues, I won't live to see the end of my life!
The sect leader's wife looked troubled. What should she do? In any case, she wouldn't give such a promising disciple to another sect!
Wang Sheng racked his brains, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
"Look, theoretically speaking, with her cultivation level, she should have graduated long ago, right?" Wang Sheng clapped his hands. "Then here's the plan! You appoint her as an elder! Let her take on disciples and train them! Just don't let her mess with me all by herself!"
After a moment's thought, the Lady of the Pavilion thought it wasn't a bad idea. So, with a wave of her hand, she promoted Chu Hongluan from disciple to elder, instructing her to give lectures to the inner disciples whenever she had free time!
Just as Chu Hongluan was about to draw her sword to find Wang Sheng, a disciple delivered the Elder's Token, granting her an additional Elder's Residence and a significantly increased monthly salary.
What kind of toy is this?
Completely bewildered, Chu Hongluan grabbed the Elder's Token and went to see her new residence. She sat down on the main peak, which was close to Liu Jinghong's place.
Chu Hongluan then realized that she hadn't seen Liu Jinghong for some time.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Hongluan still walked towards Liu Jinghong's courtyard. The page at the gate greeted her immediately.
"Greetings, Elder Chu."
Chu Hongluan was a little unaccustomed to being called an elder, but she still asked, "Where is Senior Brother Liu?"
"The young master went into seclusion after returning from town that day. He said he wanted to prepare for the Nine Pavilion Summit in three months."
Yes, the Nine Pavilions Summit is about to begin, and the story in the book is about to start.
Chu Hongluan frowned unconsciously, because her rash intervention had changed a very important part of the plot.
Liu Jinghong, who originally did not participate in the Nine Pavilions Summit, will now participate. Liu Youcai, who originally entered the secret realm with the Dragon Marrow, will now become Liu Jinghong.
She wanted to see if the story, which had started in a completely new way, would still end the same way.
Thinking of this, Chu Hongluan suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
She thanked the page and went back to move.
The elder's residence was much more spacious than her disciple's residence on Blade Peak, and it was also closer to Liu Jinghong, making it easier to keep an eye on him.
At this time, Liu Jinghong was focused on his seclusion. He thought that Chu Hongluan, as a new disciple, would most likely participate in the competition with him, so he was determined to perform well.
This Nine Pavilions Summit was hosted by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Mother said that the final battle trial will be held in the Nuwa Secret Realm.
That is an ancient secret realm with a history of tens of thousands of years, and there is definitely the medicinal herbs he needs inside.
He had never wanted to become stronger.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and disciples from various sects had flocked to Linxian Town one after another, waiting for the Nine Pavilions Summit to be held.
Liu Jinghong finally emerged from seclusion. The first thing he did upon emerging was to find Chu Hongluan. Only then did he learn from the doorman that in just a few months, Chu Hongluan had risen from a personal disciple to an elder, and from a participating disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to the team leader elder of the participating disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
...This junior sister has only been called for one day, and she has already grown into an elder.
Liu Jinghong stood somewhat nervously outside the elder's residence of Chu Hongluan. She raised her hand with her well-defined knuckles as if to knock, but it remained suspended in mid-air without falling.
After three months apart, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he was struggling to find a way to express it.
He wanted to say that his longing for home was like the Fen River, flowing endlessly every day.
He wanted to say, "My longing for you is like the full moon, its light waning night after night."
He wanted to say...
"Senior brother?"
Liu Jinghong suddenly turned around.
The girl stood in the wind, her jade pendants jingling, her red dress as fiery as the rising sun.
A glance that lasts a lifetime, just like the first time we met.
Liu Jinghong was stunned for a long time before her beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, and all her unspoken words turned into a beaming smile.
"Junior sister, I've emerged from seclusion."
Chu Hongluan paused for a moment, trying to ignore the strange feeling in her heart, before speaking, "Senior brother, you've come at the right time. Shall we take a walk together? I have something I want to ask you."
Red and black robes intertwined in the wind.
The two strolled all the way to the waterfall on the back mountain.
The sounds of flowing water and towering mountains bring a sense of tranquility to the heart.
Chu Hongluan asked bluntly, "Senior brother, have you already found a way to repair your spiritual mansion?"
Liu Jinghong was taken aback.
"How did you know, junior sister?"
“I asked Mr. Chen from Jubaolou.” Chu Hongluan smiled. “Mr. Chen said that you asked him to keep an eye out for five kinds of medicinal herbs: Dragon Marrow, Phoenix Blood, Blazing Sun Flower, Wind and Passion Grass, and… Blood Spirit Mushroom.”
"I may not know what other effects it has, but Blood Lingzhi... is a parasitic spiritual plant that absorbs essence and blood to nourish the spiritual palace."
