Chapter 144 Who are you?
Yun Fuzhao practically had "Serving in our sect" written all over his face.
Zhen remained unmoved.
Having already figured out this guy's temperament, Yun Fuzhao knew he couldn't rush things.
She watched as the lake surface rippled in the breeze. Yun Fuzhao hadn't brought her fishing rod today, and sitting there was too boring, so she simply stretched out a vine to use as a fishing rod.
This move left Zhen speechless.
Zhen: You don't have five spiritual roots?
"Yes, I have a spiritual root. Among the five spiritual roots, there is also a wood spiritual root, so it's not surprising that I know some wood-type spells."
"..."
For some reason, Zhen suddenly became more talkative, asking her how to cultivate the five spiritual roots, which sect she studied under, and so on.
Aside from the system-related matters, Yun Fuzhao gave a mixed answer, half true and half false. Only a fool would reveal all their cards.
Zhen clearly knew she wasn't telling the truth, but he could still glean some information from her fragmented words. Yun Fuzhao's expression became more complex.
Zhen: I can go to the Boundless Sword Sect.
Yun Fuzhao's eyes widened. "Really?"
She didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, but before he could back out, Yun Fuzhao immediately said, "Our sect's celebration is in five days. Senior, please let me know when you're ready, and I'll come to pick you up."
Zhen: No need to trouble yourself, I want to keep a low profile. It's best if no one knows.
"OK, no problem."
Yun Fuzhao hadn't originally planned for him to appear in public. She still remembered Gong Yuhe's words, "The Holy Son who broke the rules is not worthy to appear in public."
I imagine there would be some bad consequences if I went against it.
The Wuya Sword Sect still has too few elders. For example, they lack outstanding teachers in areas like beast taming and sound cultivation.
Song Ying and others were still growing and their knowledge was limited. Yun Fuzhao couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being, so he had to turn to Zhen.
If they can bring back the former Holy Son of the Hall of Rebirth to be their teacher, who would dare to say that their sect's teaching staff is a pile of shit!
For the remaining few days, Yun Fuzhao was busy with the preparations for the celebration.
This is Yun Fuzhao's first celebration as sect leader, so it has to be grand. Let those who doubt her see what's going on.
Yu Ren truly lived up to his reputation as the number one gossip expert in the cultivation world; within just two days, the news of the Boundless Sword Sect's cooperation with Qingqiu Eclipse spread far and wide.
However, onlookers held a disdainful attitude towards this matter.
They felt that Wuyajianzong Feng had gone mad, daring to say anything.
Some believe that the Boundless Sword Sect was driven mad by the last sect competition and is constantly creating momentum in order to suppress the Profound Heaven Sect.
The fact that Xuantian Sect agreed to attend Wuyai Sword Sect's celebration further excited the onlookers.
"I must say, the Xuantian Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a major sect. Despite the ugly conflict between the two sects not long ago, they were still willing to attend the celebration. Sect Master Bai is indeed a respectable person."
"Sect Master Bai's character goes without saying. The reason we lost the last sect competition was entirely because he was in seclusion. If he had been there, what chance would the Boundless Sword Sect have?"
"So the Boundless Sword Sect relies entirely on luck. Just you wait and see, they're sure to drop to outside the top 100 in the next sect competition."
"Yun Fuzhao is really daring to boast, saying that even Qingqiu Eclipse will come. Does she really think that she can invite the two giants of the demon realm whenever she wants?"
"The bolder a person is, the more daring their dreams will be. It's hard to judge; I can only wish her good luck."
The Xuan Tian disciple sitting to the side was pleased to hear this and chimed in, "If you want to surpass our sect, you'll have to wait another hundred years."
The onlookers were surprised to find disciples of the Xuantian Sect present, and they immediately began to flatter them, saying, "That's right. Back then, the Xuantian Sect's sect celebration shocked the entire cultivation world."
"Yes, even the mysterious and powerful Rebirth Hall sent people. They are the leaders of the Five Realms, and the fact that they personally sent people shows the status of the Xuantian Sect."
Yun Fuzhao, who was eavesdropping in the other tea room, chuckled.
The person they mentioned sent by the Hall of Rebirth is Chang Shen, Yu Nian'er's current master.
I heard that he was originally an elder of the Hall of Rebirth, but later left for unknown reasons and came to the Xuantian Sect to become an elder.
His appearance brought considerable prestige to the Xuantian Sect.
In the cultivation world, being able to have even the slightest connection with the Hall of Rebirth is a great honor.
Yun Fuzhao poured himself a small glass of fruit wine. To be honest, it tasted really good, sweet and delicious, and quite addictive.
Xie Wan rested her chin on her hand and looked at her, "You've really made a big splash this time. The entire cultivation world is waiting for your sect's celebration."
“It has to be big.” Yun Fuzhao paused. “Your sect still hasn’t given me a definite answer.”
“They weren’t planning to come,” Xie Wan said, “but then the Xuantian Sect said they were coming, and those old men up there almost made a huge fuss.”
"Never mind them, as long as you're here."
Xie Wan chuckled, "I'll definitely come back; I have to give Sect Master Yun face."
She filled Yun Fuzhao's cup and slowly pushed it towards him, saying, "Try this, it's delicious too."
The surrounding discussions about the Boundless Sword Sect continued, but Yun Fuzhao had lost all interest in listening. He picked up his cup to drink, but suddenly a pebble hit the back of his hand, causing the cup to slip from his grasp and fall to the ground with a "thud."
Yun Fuzhao was taken aback. He immediately stood up and looked around warily, but he did not see any suspicious figures.
Xie Wan grabbed her wrist and made her sit down. "It's probably just someone's prank. Never mind, let's continue."
"It couldn't be a prank." Yun Fuzhao was certain that the pebble was aimed at her.
Remembering how this had happened several times before, those two disciples from the Ten Directions Secret Realm had plotted against her and impersonated Fang Wenxia's people...
It's obvious that someone is targeting her.
Xie Wan comforted her, saying, "If it were truly aimed at your life, it wouldn't be just pebbles that were being thrown."
There's some truth to that; every situation she's faced before has been life-threatening.
"Come on, calm down."
Xie Wan handed the steaming tea to Yun Fuzhao.
Yun Fuzhao lowered her head, watching the tea leaves in her cup rise and fall. After observing them for a while, she calmly said, "I don't like this stuff; it's too bitter."
"This isn't bitter."
Xie Wan laughed, "You really can't stand even the slightest hardship."
"That's right, I'm just enjoying life."
She didn't take the cup of tea away; instead, she casually looked at the reflection on the tea leaves.
Yun Fuzhao suddenly asked, "How are things going with Wen Yan? Any progress?"
When asked about this, Xie Wan paused for a moment, then gave a somewhat strange smile, "He's in seclusion every day cultivating, and I don't even have a chance to see him."
Speaking of Wen Yan, Xie Wan seemed to become a different person, a hint of malice rising in her eyes, "That Yu Nian'er is shameless. It's one thing to be by his side, but she even dares to announce to the outside world that they have become Daoist partners!"
Yun Fuzhao stared at her, "Xie Wan, are you really Xie Wan?"
