Chapter 113 Elder Wan, the Iron-Willed Straight Man
On the outskirts of the Southern Spirit Sect, Elder Wan, who had gone through great lengths to sneak in, was stunned when he suddenly heard his own name called.
"That familiar voice, it's that person named..." Elder Wan was about to say the name Lan Yue when he suddenly felt a terrifying aura descend upon him.
The name he was about to say was abruptly cut off and vanished into the wind.
Elder Wan, who was stared at by this terrifying aura, was still shaken. He finally understood why the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect looked helpless but did nothing when that voice rang out.
Judging from this aura, Lan Yue has at least a Tribulation Transcending stage expert protecting her. Who would dare to make any small moves?
So who exactly is Lan Yue? Could she be the daughter of a great emperor from the Immortal Realm who came to undergo tribulation?
Absolutely terrifying!
This speculation calmed Elder Wan down considerably, and he decided not to forcibly take the person away, but instead to observe the situation at the Southern Spirit Sect first.
Upon closer inspection, he suddenly realized that the man opposite him with the fake beard looked so familiar; he resembled Elder Sun, a guest elder from their Northern Ridge Holy Land.
"Elder Sun, what are you doing here? Didn't Xingzhou say you had already returned to the Holy Land with the other disciples?" Elder Wan was stunned.
"That was indeed our initial plan, but when we used telepathy to send a message to the Holy Land beforehand, they got incredibly excited and insisted that all of us come and find them." So I came over.
Elder Sun was helpless.
He also wanted to end the mission early, but the Holy Land wouldn't agree!
"Where did those disciples go?" Elder Wan suddenly sensed something was wrong.
He looked down again and noticed that a row of eyes had lit up on the gourds hanging from Elder Sun's waist.
"Sigh, it's not easy to get into the Southern Spirit Sect. If it weren't for my connections here, I wouldn't have been able to get in, let alone the disciples," Elder Sun said apologetically.
"Can we come in openly at this crucial moment? Of course not, so I put them all inside the gourd."
"But Elder Wan, don't worry, although they are inside the gourd, their vision and hearing are not affected, and they can keep an eye on the outside situation at all times!"
Elder Sun chuckled.
[Lan Yue: If it were Elder Wan, that would actually be quite fun. I didn't expect that Elder Wan, who seems so refined on the surface, is actually such a straight man behind the scenes.]
[Once, he and his wife were being affectionate in their room, and she asked him to draw her eyebrows in the shape of distant mountains. Elder Wan patted his chest and assured her that he was the best painter, but instead drew two large, dark mountains on his wife's face.]
[Oh, what happened next? Of course, his wife threw him out.]
Elder Sun, who was talking to Elder Wan, suddenly froze and looked at him with a strange expression.
It felt like meeting someone for the first time.
Elder Wan's face turned red. He trembled for a long time, and when he looked down again, he found a string of surprised eyes hanging on the gourd.
Oh no, I'm so embarrassed!
What exactly is going on with Lan Yue of the Southern Spirit Sect? When she talks about "eating melons," does she mean digging up other people's dark past?
Elder Wan nearly vomited blood.
[Lan Yue: Actually, it's not so bad. It's just drawing two big mountains. But Elder Wan was even more outrageous once. He heard his wife wanted to eat roasted meat, so he hunted down a giant fire lizard and accidentally knocked her unconscious.]
[Now things are really messed up. He didn't get to eat the barbecue; his wife, who had just woken up, threw him out along with the fire lizard.]
[Elder Wan, that's quite something. Did he already know I couldn't grill meat, so he dealt with the person who raised the question beforehand?]
"Brother Wan, I never expected you to be so formidable!" Elder Sun was completely stunned.
At the same time, he silently lit a candle in his heart for Elder Wan's partner, hoping that the other party was still alive.
Having such a Daoist partner would shorten one's lifespan by hundreds of years!
"Pfft, hahaha!" The Sixth Elder was laughing uncontrollably.
It's so satisfying to watch other people's drama unfold!
He felt that ever since he started eating melons with Lan Yue, his cultivation level had been rising rapidly.
When you're in a better mood, everything becomes simpler.
Of course, the premise is that the guy doesn't get caught up in the gossip himself.
"Sixth Elder, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Lan Yue turned around when she heard the unrestrained laughter beside her, her heart filled with curiosity.
The Sixth Elder's laughter stopped abruptly: "Nothing, nothing. I just found the ducks that the Fifth Elder was raising a bit funny."
"The Fifth Elder is raising ducks?" Lan Yue was surprised; she had no idea about this.
The Fifth Elder glared angrily at the Sixth Elder.
[Lan Yue: It's already quite amusing that the Fifth Elder keeps cats, I wonder what it's like to keep ducks. I'll have to go check it out another day and see what's going on.]
[Elder Wan still has some stories I haven't finished reading. Let me take a look. It turns out that once Elder Wan was invited to attend the Northern Region Sect Conference, and when he left, he forgot his wife there. It wasn't until three days after he got home that he remembered he hadn't brought his wife back.]
[The key is that Elder Wan still doesn't know where he went wrong. He keeps asking himself what he did wrong.]
Haha, that's hilarious! It's really strange that Elder Wan even has a wife!
[I suggest the cultivation world open an insurance company. Perhaps Elder Wan's wife could buy one someday; I'm afraid she might die young.]
[Hahaha!]
"Elder Wan, so you've come to the Southern Spirit Sect too!" Just as Elder Wan was about to sneak away, a surprised voice suddenly came from the side.
"You've already arrived at the sect, why didn't you tell us? It makes it seem like we weren't sincere."
"Come, quickly give Elder Wan a seat. He is a distinguished guest from the Northern Ridge Holy Land. We must not neglect him!"
The elder patted Elder Wan's shoulder forcefully.
In that instant, Elder Wan could clearly feel countless burning gazes directed his way.
He felt that even if he returned to the sacred land of Beiling, he wouldn't receive this much attention.
Damn it! Who wants this much attention?
The fact that these people are so enthusiastic means they must have heard what the little guy is thinking!
"So it's Elder Wan from the Northern Ridge Holy Land. I'll go and call my master over so he can meet with you."
"Elder Wan, have you arrived? My disciple is the sister of your brother's daughter's distant cousin. Why didn't you tell us you were coming?"
"Qing'e, come quickly and greet Elder Wan!"
In an instant, all the elders and disciples who had been watching the drama unfold around Lan Yue returned to Elder Wan's side.
And so, Elder Wai and Elder Sun, two elders from the Northern Ridge Holy Land, were quickly invited to Lingyue Peak, where they met with the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect.
Elder Wan's face was already weathered.
It's one thing to eat his melon, but to eat it in front of him is another.
The Southern Spirit Sect has changed; it is no longer the sect that simply opposed the Northern Ridge Holy Land!
They've learned to be spectators and enjoy watching the drama unfold!
Lan Yue was oblivious to the commotion outside; she was still engrossed in watching the drama unfold.
She found two more amusing embarrassing stories about Elder Wan, and she couldn't stop laughing to herself.
[Lan Yue: Actually, Elder Wan's behavior isn't that bad. He's just a bit too straightforward, but overall he's alright. At least he knows how to reflect, even though he hasn't figured out the problems yet.]
[It's alright, his wife has started to reflect on her actions too. Otherwise, why would she have recently gone to the Forgotten Dust Sect to relax?]
[I didn't expect the Forgotten Dust Sect to be so famous; their reputation has even spread to the Northern Ridge Holy Land, where they hosted a lady from there.]
[Now I really want to go and see it too! I wanted to visit the Forgotten Dust Sect before, but the elders' speed was just too fast, and I was back at the sect in the blink of an eye.]
Lan Yue felt a deep sense of regret.
"Wait, what kind of place is the Forgotten Dust Sect?" Elder Wan was afraid of that terrifying consciousness, so he didn't dare to say it out loud. Instead, he directly transmitted his voice to the Nanling Sect elders around him.
"This Wangchen Sect..." The other elders of the Nanling Sect also stammered.
"Could it be that she has forgotten all worldly affairs? Is Yu'er preparing to become a nun?" Elder Wan exclaimed in surprise.
He almost couldn't sit still.
The other elders exchanged glances and slowly shook their heads.
"If forgetting the mortal world isn't the end of the world, then there's still hope for me." Elder Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, the Forgotten Dust Sect actually requires one to first enter the mortal world before one can see through it."
An elder secretly communicated with him telepathically.
"Is there really such a magical sect in the Southern Region? Take me to see it too, and see through the illusions of the mortal world with Yu'er." Elder Wan had made up his mind.
This time, he must truly repent and change completely!
[Lan Yue: Ah, the Forgotten Dust Sect is so great! Who wouldn't want to be chased and taken care of by eighteen beautiful fairies/handsome immortals?]
Elder Wan's face froze, and he was completely stunned.
[Lan Yue: It can be said that without Elder Bai Mei, there would be no Wangchen Sect as we know it today! Elder Bai Mei is truly a hero of the Southern Region.]
Lan Yue sighed deeply in her heart, filled with emotion.
She looked up and saw a shadow flash by, then disappear into the air in the blink of an eye.
"What was that that just left?" Lan Yue asked curiously.
"What suddenly flashed by?"
