Chapter 5: The Yin Gui Sect Comes to Provoke
Lou Chongxiao seemed to see her doubts, laughed dryly and explained:
"Ahem, don't mind me, fellow Daoist. We in the Shadow Moon Sect emphasize 'low-key luxury with substance'.
Don’t be fooled by the appearance, there is a whole new world inside!”
Gao Huohuo forced a smile, but he was already thinking about backing out.
Low-key luxury with connotation? I think it's "low-key shabby with a grave mound"!
However, at this point, Gao Huohuo could only bite the bullet and follow Lou Chongxiao inside, praying silently in his heart:
I hope this sect is just shabby in appearance, but has a hidden world inside... Otherwise, I'm really on the wrong boat!
"Master, brothers and sisters, come quickly! I have recruited a young sister for our sect today!"
Gao Huohuo had already prepared to turn around and run, until she saw a handsome middle-aged man holding a spirit-calling banner walking out of the door, and then she barely suppressed the urge to escape.
She herself couldn't tell whether she was afraid of the spirit-summoning banner in his hand or attracted by his outstanding appearance.
It was not until she met her other senior brothers and sisters that she felt relieved - at least this was not the lair of some shady criminal gang.
However, does the Shadow Moon Sect recruit people based on appearance?
The clan leader himself is very elegant, and the eldest brother, second brother, third sister, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth sister, and seventh sister are all extremely good-looking.
Only Eighth Senior Brother Lou Chongxiao and herself slightly lowered the overall appearance level.
However, she and Lou Chongxiao are still young and have not fully grown up, so they can be ignored for the time being.
The original owner was only thirteen years old, but she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. This was what Lin Zhipeng was most afraid of her for.
After the senior brothers and sisters finished introducing themselves one by one, Gao Huohuo was still looking forward to more information about the sect.
But Lou Chongxiao said, "Junior Sister, there are only ten people in our Shadow Moon Sect, including you and Master.
Now that you have seen everything, I will show you where you live."
Gao Huohuo was stunned.
How dare a sect with only ten people be compared with the Shadow Sect which has a monk in the fusion stage?
If she was not mistaken, the sect leader's cultivation level was only at the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage.
Except for the eldest and second brothers who are in the Foundation Establishment stage, the other brothers and sisters are still in the Qi Refining stage.
Could it be that she was tricked into joining a small, inferior sect that wasn't even a level six sect?
As soon as she entered the sect, Gao Huohuo received three sets of sect uniforms of different colors, which made her a little confused.
Is it possible that the tradition of the Shadow Moon Sect is to have a mix-and-match style like that of Eighth Senior Brother Lou Chongxiao?
"Senior Brother Lou, why are the three sets of clothes in our sect different colors?" Gao Huohuo couldn't help but ask, his eyes full of confusion.
Lou Chongxiao glanced at her, smiled meaningfully, and said:
"Junior Sister, you've just arrived. You'll naturally understand after a while. Master is doing this for our own good."
Although Gao Huohuo still had doubts in his heart, he did not ask any more questions.
After all, having clothes to wear is better than having nothing, and she is not a picky person.
"Junior Sister, this is your courtyard. We in the Shadow Moon Sect are small, so everyone has an independent courtyard. You will live here from now on."
As Lou Chongxiao spoke, he led her into a quiet courtyard.
Gao Huohuo's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that although the Shadow Moon Sect had few people, the treatment was so good.
Previously in the Shadow Sect, the original owner was only able to be assigned an independent cave because of his high talent and strong cultivation.
And now, she, a person with no cultivation at all, can actually own an independent yard.
In this way, she could practice secretly at night without worrying about being discovered.
Lou Chongxiao handed her a jade slip, gave her a few simple instructions, and prepared to leave:
"Junior Sister, the jade slip contains some basic information and rules of the sect. If you have any questions, you can always find any of the senior brothers and sisters."
After saying that, Lou Chongxiao was called away by his master, leaving Gao Huohuo standing alone in the yard.
"Where did you trick this little girl from? Won't her parents come knocking on your door in a few days?"
Master Shen Cangxuan narrowed his eyes, his tone filled with suspicion.
The other senior brothers and sisters also looked at Lou Chongxiao with eyes that were "worse than beasts", as if he had done something against the will of heaven and earth.
Lou Chongxiao looked aggrieved and couldn't help muttering in his heart:
When he first entered the sect, wasn't he the same age as Junior Sister is now? How come no one thinks he was tricked into coming?
"Master, Junior Sister joined our Shadow Moon Sect voluntarily." Lou Chongxiao tried to defend himself.
Shen Cangxuan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement in his tone: “Are you sure?”
Lou Chongxiao suddenly felt guilty and swallowed.
He just made a few slightly exaggerated introductions, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
"We have to work in our sect every day. Have you told her? Also, are you sure this work won't scare her?" Shen Cangxuan continued to ask.
Lou Chongxiao muttered softly, "Master, I also started working when I was this young."
This time, before Shen Cangxuan could speak, several senior brothers and sisters spoke up at the same time:
"You are a boy, and she is a delicate little girl, how can you compare?"
Lou Chongxiao was speechless. She was already thirteen years old, and still a little girl? She just looked younger.
However, facing the pressure from his senior brothers and sisters, Lou Chongxiao could only grumble in his heart.
On the other side, Gao Huohuo was looking at his yard with great interest.
There was a sign with the number "Seven" hanging on the gate of the courtyard closest to her, which must be the residence of Senior Sister Seven.
Gao Huohuo was a little confused.
The first day the original owner entered the Shadow Sect, he went through a long process:
It took the whole morning just to recognize the elders and the stewards, and then it took the whole afternoon to memorize the sect rules.
How come everything is so simple when I get to Shadow Moon Sect?
She stood in the yard, feeling somewhat relieved, yet vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
However, since I'm already here, let's take a look at the situation first.
Walking into his yard, Gao Huohuo found that the facilities inside were quite complete.
Although the outside of the sect looked like a mass grave with traces of patching everywhere, the courtyard had everything you need and was quite comfortable.
She walked around the yard, familiarized herself with the environment, and decided to start practicing.
After all, in the world of cultivation, strength is everything.
She had just practiced the technique she had previously practiced when she discovered that Xiaofu's energy bar was a little less.
But she didn't care. As long as she was still alive, she could use up her energy bar as she pleased.
If Xiaofu hadn't wanted to kill her before, she wouldn't have been tied to this system panel.
Gao Huohuo continued practicing until Xiaofu's energy bar was reduced to the last bit, then he stopped.
She estimated that after practicing for another night, she would be able to break through to the first level of Qi Refining.
Gao Huohuo, who was just about to take a break, vaguely heard a noise coming from outside.
She walked out of the yard and found that the sound seemed to come from the gate.
When she got there, she found that several senior brothers and sisters were already there.
When they saw her passing by, they deliberately stood in front of her, fearing that she would suffer any loss.
"Senior Brother Lou, what's going on?" Gao Huohuo asked with some confusion.
Lou Chongxiao looked back at her and explained calmly:
"Little Junior Sister, don't worry, it's just the nearby Yin Gui Sect that's causing trouble for us again."
Gao Huohuo was speechless: Again? It seems that the Yin Gui Sect often comes to provoke us!
At this time, the people from the Yin Gui Sect shouted loudly:
"I heard that your Shadow Moon Sect accepted another junior sister yesterday? Pull her out so we can see who this wicked thing is."
Hearing this, Gao Huohuo was immediately furious and cursed inwardly:
You're the wicked one, your whole family is wicked! What kind of person are you? You start calling people wicked right away!
If it weren’t for several senior brothers and sisters standing in front of him, Gao Huohuo really wanted to rush out and point at the man’s nose and curse back.
However, she also knew that her current strength was weak, and if she stepped forward rashly, it would only cause trouble for her senior brothers and sisters.
So, she could only suppress her anger, stand quietly behind and watch what would happen.
Then, Gao Huohuo heard her senior brother sneer, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"I heard that the junior apprentice brother you just recruited from the Yin Gui Sect is quite capable. How come? It's been three months, and he still hasn't entered the first level of Qi Refining?"
Only then did Gao Huohuo notice that there was a mortal like her standing in the opposite Yin Gui Sect team.
Hearing what the eldest brother said, the man's eyes flashed with ferocity and he glared at them viciously.
Gao Huohuo immediately felt unhappy: Good guys, you scolded me first, and now you dare to glare at me?
It seems that she is being treated as a soft persimmon. Now that she has the system, what is there to be afraid of?
So, Gao Huohuo got to the front from the back and started attacking the Yin Gui Sect members:
"It's been three months, and you haven't even reached the first level of the Qi Refining Stage. With this kind of talent, you still want to cultivate? I'm afraid any dog out there can cultivate in three months, right?"
Everyone in the Shadow Moon Sect was stunned when they heard Gao Huohuo's words. The new junior sister looked delicate, but she was so sharp when she scolded people.
When the junior brother from the Yin Gui Sect heard this, he was so angry that his face turned pale. He was about to rush up and attack, but was unfortunately stopped by his senior brother.
After all, it's okay for the two sides to exchange a few verbal arguments, but if a real fight breaks out, the Yin Gui Sect will not be in the right.
Moreover, although the Shadow Moon Sect has fewer people, all nine of them are present now, while the Yin Gui Sect only has five people, so they are no match at all.
Seeing that the other party was being held back, Gao Huohuo became even more arrogant and hooked his finger at the man provocatively.
When the junior brother saw that Gao Huohuo was just a little girl and dared to be so arrogant, he immediately became furious and shouted:
"Brother, I want to duel with her in a month!"
