With a sowhat forlorn expression, Hui watched the final cultivator go. There was still more alcohol to flavor with Immortal qi Ah, oh well. I gained a lot, both in terms of the content of the alcohol, and in terms of other treasures!
Xie Hao, good afternoon, Gui Yutong greeted him.
Hui turned with a smile. Elder Sister! Do you have another patient for ?
Not today. Today I bring you invitations. Gui Yutong held up a pair of wood tokens, then tossed them at Hui and Ying Lin.
Ying Lin jumped up and caught hers excitedly. too?
Gui Yutong frowned. You intend to follow your Master, yes? And youre fourth realm.
Ah! Oh, true, Hui comnted, nodding. He looked at Ying Lin. Youll follow into the sect.
Right! Ying Lin replied, nodding back.
Gui Yutong glanced around, clutching a third token close.
Hui sighed. Its been a few days since she last ca, so Bai Jingwen is moping in the back courtyard. Honestly, these two lovebirds He cleared his throat. Youll find her sulking atop the willow tree near the pond.
Ah! Oh, no, its rely a coincidence, Gui Yutong said, hiding the token as a blush spread over her cheeks. I, I, of course, was if one of the patients was high quality, I
Hui shook his head. Go on. Its been obvious to us all from the start.
Blushing deeply, Gui Yutong ducked her head and rushed into the complex to the back garden.
Wu Fanyun scowled at Hui. You shouldnt encourage her.
To be quite honest, Elder Brother, Id rather encourage her to pursue Bai Jingwen than cheer on her biological brother, Hui replied, smiling placidly.
Wu Fanyun narrowed his eyes and reached for his sword. What was that? I couldnt hear that last part.
Ying Lin cleared her throat. Wu Fanyun, if you dont wish to die a dogs death, youll be better off challenging . Master is fifth realm, and youre rely fourth.
Wu Fanyun blinked. He looked at Hui again and furrowed his brows, then backed up. Why are you repressing your aura so much? Is this so perverse training?
The only perversion here is you, Hui replied kindly. He drew out a fan and wafted it gently, drawing himself to his full height to look down on Wu Fanyun. Elder Brother, consider it ntal training for the weak-willed cultivators of this country. Right, I shouldnt say world. Theres terrifying beings out there willing to murder a small cultivator to death over that! Murder straight to death!
Besides, what if other people got isekaid alongside ? The last thing I want is to encounter an overpowered ultra-skilled isekai cultivator who went searching for other isekaid people to test their might! Ah, not that I expect to et one, after going so long without encountering any. I think Im the only soul Yunxu successfully brought over.
But it never hurts to be cautious!
Hui raised the token to his forehead and inserted a bit of ntal energy into it. The contents of the token burst out before his eyes, and glittering gold letters scrolled before his eyes. Welco. You have obtained the qualifications to participate in All-Heavens Sects qualification tournant. Please attend at the sect gates in the second hour of the day on the day of
Hui nodded. Wonderful. It seems to be exactly what I asked Gui Yutong for.
Flabbergasted, Wu Fanyun turned to Ying Lin. Did he forget about ?
Ying Lins eyes glittered mischievously. You are rather forgettable.
Wu Fanyuns sword whispered from its sheath. I swore, when I left All-Heavens Sect, that I had been mocked for the last ti.
Ah, you really shouldnt have spoken to Master, then, Ying Lin said with a grin, drawing Gu Tian.
Gu Tian shot a look at Wu Fanyuns sword. Er am I strong enough to clash with that blade? Thats a high-tier sword, made of the finest materials, and Im an ordinary sword from two hundred years ago in Starbound Sect
Ying Lin ran her fingers down the length of Gu Tians blade, and pale sword energy covered the sword. She gestured at Wu Fanyun, egging him on.
Gu Tian breathed out. Thank goodness she knows to protect with energy.
Ying Lins energy surged. A mont later, she fought it back. She grit her teeth, her energy roiling around her body. Quietly, she murmured, Hold it back. Not yet. Master cant know.
Gu Tian jolted. Is that fifth stage energy? How fast does this girl cultivate?
Ha! Is your cultivation flawed? I wont wait! Wu Fanyun shouted, darting at Ying Lin.
Eyes flashing, Ying Lin charged toward Wu Fanyun, delight written all over her face. Dont bla if you cant walk later!
Gu Tian let out a sigh, quietly eyeing Wu Fanyun, who swung at Ying Lin with great power and confidence in his oblivious eyes. You cant stop a fool from seeking his own death.
--
Hui lowered the token and nodded. Right. Are you ready, Ying Lin
With a high-pitched screech, Wu Fanyun flew past Hui and hurtled off into the distance, turning into a tiny sparkle on the horizon.
He turned slowly, confused. His eyes landed on Ying Lin, who still held Gu Tian at the ready, and he cocked an eyebrow.
Ying Lin quickly tucked Gu Tian behind her back. Wow, look at how fast hes going! Master, Wu Fanyun told he had sothing urgent to attend to. He left his thanks for your hard work and told to pass on to his sister that he had to desperately rush away.
Does this disciple of mine think Im blind and deaf? Even if I was distracted, I still heard what happened.
Oh well. I dont particularly care if Ying Lin beat so sense into Wu Fanyun. The man desperately needs it. Chasing after his sister and starting a fight with Ying Lin Hell wind up dead without knowing why at this rate, and bla the Heavens for what is, in reality, the product of his own stupidity.
Hui put a hand on his chin. Co to think of it, isnt that what the average cultivation protagonist does? Charge off at top speed into so wild direction and bla the Heavens for every small slight that happens to them, then overturn the Heavens when they really should just do a bit of introspection and overturn themselves instead? Have I at last encountered a protagonist?
Although, if Wu Fanyun is a protagonist he glanced at Ying Lin. His cultivation speed is a bit slow.
Eh? Whats Master looking at for? Ying Lin asked, tilting her head innocently.
Hui snorted under his breath. He reached out and rubbed Ying Lins head. Yes, yes, youre a good disciple. I cant let her get away completely free after sending Wu Fanyun flying like that but well leave it at this.
Master! Ying Lin complained, patting her mussed hair.
Gui Yutong strode out of the complex, her hair twice as mussed as Ying Lins and her makeup slightly sared about the lips. She gasped a few breaths and wiped her mouth, quickly straightened her collar, then nodded at Hui and Ying Lin. Are we ready?
Hui coughed. Er, is Elder Sister ready?
Gui Yutong gave him a confused look. I spoke with Bai Jingwen?
Ying Lin scooted up to Gui Yutong, pulling a hand mirror out from one of her storage devices. Elder Sister, look.
Gui Yutongs cheeks colored. She closed her eyes and opened them again. White light flashed, and her clothes, hair, and makeup fixed themselves.
You should teach Master that spell, Ying Lin said, impressed.
So I can teach it to you? Hui asked, nodding at her ssy hair.
Master! Its just, you sotis Ive noticed you dont seem to have a costic spell, and at tis, it can be troubling for this disciple, Ying Lin said, nodding.
Hui frowned. He lifted his arm and sniffed. I dont sll anything. Arent cultivators naturally fresh, clean, and beautiful at all tis?
Or wait. Wouldnt that be from the mortal perspective? Other cultivators have heightened senses, so naturally, theyd be able to sense more from their fellows than mortals would. Do I have BO that only other cultivators can sll? Am I noseblind? But Im in a lotus body, so at worst, I should sll like lotuses
Ying Lin leaned in, interrupting his internal monologue. Master, when you play dead, sotis you sll like a corpse afterwards.
Huis eyes widened. He nodded. Many thanks, disciple. I had never considered such a thing!
Internally, he scread. Ahhhh! Oh no, oh no. How many tis have I spelled of corpse around Li Xiang or Bai Xue? How many tis have I been striding along, putting on a scholarly aura while slling of corpse? It's great for playing dead, but I forgot about the aftermath! Im so embarrassed!
Ill include it with the barrier spell, Gui Yutong replied graciously.
Hui gave her a quick bow. Small healer is very grateful.
She looked around, her brows furrowing slightly. Where is my brother? Wasnt he right here?
Hui cleared his throat and glanced at Ying Lin, who stared off into the distance, whistling to herself. He shook his head at her, then turned back to Gui Yutong with a smile. Wu Fanyun went on ahead of us. We should hurry to catch up to him.
Gui Yutong nodded, clearly not overly concerned. Shall we go? The admittance trial starts tomorrow.
Naturally, Elder Sister, Hui replied, summoning Moonlight Cutter. Ying Lin hopped aboard Gu Tian, and together, they took to the skies.
