Be careful when going out after Chapter 35
Lan Yue almost burst out laughing when she saw her senior brother's hair flying wildly in the air.
Those who know will recognize this as the eldest brother, while those who don't might think Yin Xue stole a mop from somewhere.
As soon as the two flying figures landed on the rocks, the snow-white cat-like sword spirit jumped directly into Lan Yue's arms, looking for praise.
How could such an adorable cat be wrong?
"Silver Snow, you did a great job! You even helped others!" Lan Yue stroked its fur.
Yin Xue immediately became even more smug, and waved her little paws twice to show that it was nothing at all!
"By the way, what happened next? Is Yuan Shuo feeling better?"
Having received so many gifts, Lan Yue felt obligated to show some concern for the recipients.
"Yuan Shuo is still unconscious, but that ghost has already been killed by Uncle Guang Ji and the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall!" Li Bai had been lingering near his master's cave to eavesdrop on this progress.
"My master, wasn't he just here with me a moment ago?" Lan Yue was greatly surprised. Her master had run so far away in such a short time?
"Yes, it's such a coincidence. Listen to me first. After Yuan Shuo was found yesterday, my uncle and the elders set off. They used the teleportation array to travel to the capital of Feng Kingdom, and then chased after him aggressively."
Li Bai had been wanting to share this news with others, and now that he had run into two familiar junior sisters, he immediately began to talk non-stop.
"Uncle-Master Guangji personally wiped out the entire Black Ghost Village. Now that harmful village no longer exists, I heard that people from nearby villages have come to thank him, because they too were forced to submit to the Black Ghost Village's tyranny."
"But guess what happened? That ghost wasn't in that village at all; it had disappeared two years ago! The elders searched high and low but couldn't find it, so they had to leave one person behind while the others returned home with regret."
Later, this morning, the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall sensed Yuanbao's aura as he left the sect, and he and his Uncle-Master Guangji gave chase! It turned out that the ghost had been hiding outside the sect all along; no wonder they hadn't found it before!
Li Bai was also deeply saddened. This ghost had actually been hiding outside the Southern Spirit Sect for two years, and he wondered if any disciples had been harmed.
He thought carefully about the people who had recently disappeared from the Four Arts Hall, and his heart sank. Perhaps they had really succeeded.
Compared to the flesh and blood of ordinary people, ghosts prefer cultivators!
"The ghost has been hiding outside the sect for two years without being discovered. Was it Yuanbao who has been covering for it?" Lan Yue guessed.
"Yes, he not only protected the ghost for more than two years, but also secretly harmed many disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect. These disciples were lured out of the sect by him and given to the ghost to devour."
Yunxi, who was standing nearby, also understood the situation. After all, her father was the sect leader of the Nanling Sect, and everyone else would report their affairs to the sect leader. She had overheard a few things.
"Luckily, that ghost was slashed down with one blow, otherwise it would have harmed many more people." Lan Yue's tone was filled with relief.
[Lan Yue: Luckily I took a look beforehand and had Yin Xue find the person, otherwise I would have been the victim!]
"Junior Sister Lanyue, Yuanbao should have been killed along with us, but suddenly a rift in the Demon Abyss appeared, and a hand reached out from the rift and snatched him away." Yunxi was very worried when she thought of this.
Junior Sister Lanyue was unaware that her thoughts could be heard by others, but Yuanbao certainly was, otherwise he wouldn't have been afraid to show up in the first place, and later even wanted to run away with his ghost father.
If this ghost is rescued by those powerful demon generals or even the Demon King of the Demon Realm, it might come looking for revenge later.
"Ah, this treasure actually escaped? And the Demon Abyss Rift even has a black hand reaching out?" Lan Yue was very surprised by this.
The fact that they were able to snatch people from the hands of the Spirit Artifact Hall Master and their own master shows that the demons in the Demon Abyss Rift are also very powerful, perhaps even on par with their master's strength.
How could this gold ingot have such an encounter?
[Lan Yue: That's not right. It seems like the original novel didn't describe this person named Yuanbao much. If I hadn't been watching the drama unfold in the system, I probably wouldn't have known about him.]
The mastermind behind the Mo Yuan Rift? No way! In the original story, Yuan Shuo was being hunted down when a hand suddenly appeared from the Mo Yuan Rift and snatched him away, which is how the major villain of the Demon Realm escaped.
So this time, the main villain has changed? Did the demon realm choose Yuanbao? Indeed, the power of the plot should not be underestimated. One side lost a main villain, while the other side gained a backup.
Luckily, I didn't offend this guy too much, otherwise I'd have to be extra careful when I go out. But how can I remind the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall, and Yuan Shuo, to be careful when encountering the Demon Abyss Rift in the future?
Lan Yue fell into deep thought. She was somewhat worried and felt that she should continue to practice divination so that she could give advice openly and legitimately.
Lost in thought, Lan Yue didn't notice the complicated expressions on the faces of the two people beside her.
Yunxi, in particular, had already clenched her fists and made up her mind that she would pay more attention to Lanyue's situation in the future and protect her junior sister Lanyue!
After all, Junior Sister Lanyue not only saved her, but also that pitiful boy. Such a good junior sister must be protected!
Lan Yue is unaware of the female lead's inner thoughts; otherwise, she would definitely be moved to tears.
As the group pondered, another group of elders flew in from the sky above Lingyue Peak.
The fifth elder, who was in the lead, descended with a flowing, otherworldly beard.
This was the first time Lingyue Peak had been so lively, which made Lanyue very curious. Could it be that she had come with her master to discuss something?
She was straining her ears to eavesdrop when the Fifth Elder, who was in charge, flicked his wide sleeves and called her name.
"Lan Yue, your Silver Snow Sword has rendered meritorious service, saving fellow disciples and even helping us find the evil ghost. The sect has prepared a special gift for you."
With a flick of his whisk, the Fifth Elder sent the ancient wooden box flying into Lan Yue's arms.
[Lan Yue: I actually received a gift? I thought what Yin Xue had was all there was, but I didn't expect there to be more. The Southern Spirit Sect is indeed generous!]
When Lan Yue opened the box, she saw a piece of milky white jade lying inside.
Without even touching it, she could feel the coldness emanating from the white jade.
"This is..."
[System: This ancient jade is a valuable item; you should keep it.]
When Lan Yue heard the system pop up, she realized the importance of this piece of cold jade. She immediately closed the wooden box and put it in her bosom.
"Hehe, how could I accept that? Yin Xue has already received so many gifts, I..." Lan Yue chuckled and rubbed her hands together.
"Just take it if it's offered to you." Guangji, standing to the side, had already seen through everything.
"Okay!" Lan Yue replied happily.
[Lan Yue: Master has already agreed, how could I, as his disciple, disobey? Of course, I must respect my master!]
The elders: "..."
Before, when you were happily gossiping, I never saw you showing such respect for your teacher.
"By the way, Master, these ancient jade pieces should have come from Yuan Shuo and that ghost, right?" Lan Yue suddenly remembered the ancient jade pieces in the ghost's possession.
"Don't worry, Yuan Shuo has just woken up. He asked for it to be given to you, and the sect also obtained quite a lot after killing that ghost. You don't need to worry about the supply of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade," the Fifth Elder explained.
As he spoke, he took out two more wooden boxes of the same size and handed one to Yunxi and one to Libai.
"The current situation is extremely dangerous. A Demon Abyss Rift has appeared outside the Nanling Sect. You guys should wear your jade pendants and not leave the sect unless absolutely necessary."
Li Bai was flattered when he received it; it turned out he had one too.
Yunxi was normal then, because she knew that this must have been prepared by her father for her.
[Lan Yue: Sigh, the Demon Abyss Rift of the Southern Spirit Sect seems to have appeared a bit too early. In the original story, it appeared several years later, by which time the main characters had already begun to mature. So, does this mean my life of lying low is going to end prematurely?]
[Lan Yue: Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this early, after all, the other main character, the male lead from the original work, hasn't appeared yet! The other main characters are nowhere to be seen either, and those powerful twins weren't brought along.]
Upon hearing this heartfelt statement, all the elders around paused.
Wait, there's even a male lead?
They just found their well-behaved little niece, and now she's about to be snatched away by someone else?
This is outrageous! Who is it?
Who is it?!
The elders were so angry they wanted to roar on the spot.
Fortunately, Yun Chong had other things to do and didn't come over at the moment, otherwise he would definitely have exploded at the slightest provocation.
