Chapter 115 Leaving Secretly
Regardless, the group from the Northern Ridge Holy Land remained, and even the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect could only watch helplessly.
After all, they were guests and even brought us a special product from the Northern Ridge Holy Land: holy spring water that can exorcise demons and even remove impurities from the body.
How can you push someone out?
However, Baili Xingzhou did not get his wish to stay at Lingyue Peak to find out who the Holy Son's daughter was, because the sect leader was unwilling.
What a joke! The sect leader was wary of Li Bai, and after returning, he took him and his twin brothers to his own mountain peak.
They called it "training for them."
So these past few days, Li Bai has been experiencing both pain and joy.
The joy stemmed from the fact that the sect leader had indeed put effort into training them, resulting in a significant improvement in their abilities; the pain came from the fact that the sect leader was far too ruthless.
"Li Bai, why are you distracted when you draw your sword? The strength is so weak, who are you going to kill?"
"Wu Tianyu, I heard you're quite impressive. On your very first day here, you caused a huge disturbance at Jade Snow Peak, leaving all the senior brothers and sisters terrified."
"Where are your Gu worms? Take them all out, I'll try them one by one!"
"Bai Lixingzhou, I heard you're a prospective Holy Son from the Northern Ridge Holy Land. Haven't you eaten yet? At this crucial moment, all you're thinking about is using top-grade spiritual artifacts to save your life, is that it?"
After a training session, even Baili Xingzhou looked bewildered.
He clearly came here to help his uncle find his biological daughter, so why is he training here and can't get out?
Seeing the miserable state of Baili Xingzhou, the others from the Northern Ridge Holy Land all lit candles in their hearts.
"Are you all just sitting around doing nothing? Come here, all of you, and let me see your true strength." Yun Chong turned his gaze to the others from the Northern Ridge Holy Land once again.
Everyone: "!!!!"
No! Don't come any closer!
…
Lingyue Peak.
The few little ones who stayed here were unaware of the "suffering" endured by those on the main peak; they were still discussing it among themselves.
"I don't know what my younger brother gained, but before I left, Senior Yanlong teleported me a body-tempering technique." Wu Tianya sat cross-legged and spoke to the two people opposite her.
"The senior said that this body-strengthening technique was created by the people of the Western Regions in ancient times. No one knows who created this technique."
"However, the technique is indeed very useful. It can enhance the strength of me and the Gu worms. It can be used in conjunction with the earth fire. Senior sealed a portion of the earth fire within my body."
"That's amazing! I didn't expect Senior Yanlong to have done so much." Lan Yue was surprised, but also happy for her twin sisters.
"I actually also obtained Senior Dan Daozi's herb garden, but I can't take it out easily. I have to wait until my strength improves," Yunxi explained.
"I didn't get anything else, except that I can use the linked array inside the nine-story array tower." Lan Yue sat on the stone and gently swung her legs.
"But if I want to use those more advanced formations, I still need to improve my strength."
At this moment, the system suddenly popped up.
[System: We remember you still owe a "huge sum" of money, which you need to repay with points.]
Lan Yue: "..."
[Lan Yue: System, are you some kind of persistent ghost? I called you before and you wouldn't show up, but now you keep popping up to make your presence known.]
[System: Are normal transactions and proactive debt collection the same thing?]
Just as Lan Yue was having a mental conversation with the system, the two girls next to her exchanged a glance.
Yunxi: What should we do? It seems that Xiaolanyue owes that system a lot of points.
Wu Tianya: You can only get those points by eating melons, right? It seems we can't stay in the sect any longer. We've already eaten enough of the melons from the sect elders.
The two of them made up their minds and made their own suggestions.
"Lan Yue, it's no fun staying in the sect all the time. Why don't we go somewhere else to have some fun?" Yun Xi suggested first.
"Yes, didn't you want to go to the Forgotten Dust Sect before? Let's go to the Forgotten Dust Sect for a visit, or go for a trip nearby." Wu Tianya also smiled.
"You're right, we really should move to a different location." Lan Yue thought their suggestion was excellent.
So the three of them secretly left a note on Lingyue Peak and quickly disappeared.
After leaving the sect, Lan Yue happened to meet Elder Bai Mei at the market outside.
So much time has passed, Elder Bai Mei's makeup has faded, and even his hairstyle is messy, but his robes are still bright and shiny.
It is clear that although Baibaoge sells at high prices, it is indeed fair and honest.
"Lan Yue! We've finally found you!" Elder Bai Mei was overjoyed when he saw her.
"When I went to the sect to look for you before, they all said that you had already entered the ruins."
"I lingered here for a few more days, and I had already given up hope, but I never expected to see you again!"
Elder Bai Mei's expression showed he was overjoyed.
If a beautiful woman looked at her like that, Lan Yue would definitely be in a good mood.
However, with his makeup completely gone and the white-browed elder sporting a beard, he was rather indescribable.
It instantly transported her into a horror movie.
"Elder Lu, what happened to you? Let's talk this out. Don't wear that sullen face." Lan Yue couldn't take it anymore and pulled him directly to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, finding a private room.
"Lan Yue, you are my god! The makeup you did was so beautiful, it amazed everyone and helped me get into the Wangchen Sect!" Elder Bai Mei said excitedly.
"And then?" Lan Yue asked, resting her chin on her hand while eating the fruit platter that Baibaoge had sent over.
"I've discovered that I've found the right pursuit in life. I never expected that after changing my face, people would be so enthusiastic towards me, vying to call me'sister'!" Elder White Eyebrows said with a smile.
"Cough cough cough!" Lan Yue almost choked, but she managed to steady herself thanks to her extremely strong skills.
She's a professional player; she absolutely won't laugh unless it's something special!
"However, there's something really bad for me. Now that my makeup is ruined, I can't face anyone anymore. Lan Yue, you have to help me!"
Elder Bai Mei pleaded.
This time he was very proactive, and even offered ten more top-grade spirit stones.
"Bai Mei, cough cough, Elder Lu, you've come all this way, why are you being so polite? It's alright, leave this to me!"
Lan Yue immediately put away the ten top-grade spirit stones.
"Lan Yue, you are my benefactor in this life!" Elder Bai Mei exclaimed with delight.
"I'm going to find someone to refine cosmetics that last longer. Elder Lu, please wait a moment." Lan Yue turned around and quietly returned to the Southern Spirit Sect, where she summoned Yuan Shuo.
They discussed it for a while and finally created an enhanced version of cosmetics for Elder Bai Mei, the kind that wouldn't smudge for months.
Then Lan Yue gave Elder Bai Mei an even more pitiful look with makeup and a beautiful hairstyle, perfectly capturing the atmosphere.
Elder Bai Mei was extremely satisfied and wished he could worship her.
"Elder, we've worked so hard for you, shouldn't you do us a small favor in return?"
Lan Yue coughed unintentionally.
"What kind of help do you need? Just tell me, and I'll definitely help you!" Elder Bai Mei was all smiles. He would agree immediately unless the request was too outrageous.
"Since you've already joined the Forgotten Dust Sect, why don't you take us with you?"
Lan Yue chuckled.
"Of course, we don't intend to join this sect, but rather to see what's so special about it."
Everyone else nodded, but Yuan Shuo seemed a little stunned.
"You children should focus on your cultivation first. It's not too late to look into it later," Elder White Eyebrows hesitated.
"Elder Lu, if we don't go, we'll be going into seclusion soon, and you might not even be able to find anyone to do your makeup."
Lan Yue threatened.
"Well, it's not entirely impossible," Elder White Eyebrows suddenly changed his mind.
"That's right! Elder White Eyebrows can just take us in as servants!"
Lan Yue had a smile on her face.
The two successfully reached an agreement, and both were very satisfied.
Yuan Shuo was taken away completely bewildered, unaware of what had happened.
"Should we talk to the elders...?"
He was dragged away by others after he had only spoken half of his sentence.
"Let's go, let's go. This is a training exercise, how can we trouble the elders?"
"They are very busy!"
"Lan Yue's array tower..." Yuan Shuo was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"They're still in my hands. I've recorded all those formations for the elders using the recording stone. They should have enough for them to study."
"But..."
"Elder White Eyebrows, wait for us!"
