Chapter 115: I’m Going to Stand Up and Eat This Soft Rice!
In the crowd, when the Third Prince saw Lan Mulian taking Mu Zhian away, his eyes silently widened at some point, as if he couldn’t believe that the other party would actually be taken away by this Senior Sister Lan.
He had learned about Lan Mulian before entering the Two Polarities Sect.
As the only closed-door disciple of the sect master, Lan Mulian’s identity in the Two Polarities Sect was very special.
A prodigal son, not only having Bai Ruoxi and the Ye sisters by his side, why would he also be involved with Senior Sister Lan?!
The Third Prince stared intently at the mid-air until that figure disappeared from sight, only then did he slowly calm down.
Actually, thinking about it carefully, it didn’t matter… After all, in two more days, he wouldn’t see Mu Zhian anymore.
He and Mu Zhian both entered the Two Polarities Sect by relying on connections… But so what?
The gap between inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples was still quite huge.
Mu Zhian could enter the Two Polarities Sect by relying on connections, but it was impossible for him to become an inner sect disciple by relying on connections again, because the reach of the Mu family couldn’t extend into the Two Polarities Sect.
But the Great Qian Dynasty could… At least to become an inner sect disciple, it could be done by relying on that deputy head seat.
Once he became an inner sect disciple, just relying on this identity, there would be many ways to take revenge on Mu Zhian for his previous grievances.
As for now…
The Third Prince looked at the black-dressed woman not far away who was surrounded by a group of people, smiling like a flower, and his eyes couldn’t help but show a trace of infatuation.
From the moment he saw her, he realized how foolish his past self was.
Although Bai Ruoxi was extremely beautiful and the Ye sisters were also moving, the most important thing now was to pursue this favored daughter of heaven… the young lady of the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce, Huang Manting.
When the Third Prince thought of this, Huang Manting seemed to have sensed it and looked up, then showed him a charming smile.
The Third Prince seemed to have his soul taken away and strode towards Huang Manting’s direction.
…
At the same time, on the other side.
Ye Yu raised his head and stared intently at the direction Mu Zhian left, suddenly asking in his heart, “Teacher, is what you said just now true?”
“Is there really something sealed in the Pilgrimage Palace?”
“This old man indeed felt a trace of movement at that time… There can be no mistake.” The old voice came slowly.
“So what you need to do now is not to take revenge on Mu Zhian, but to take advantage of these two days to continue to work hard on cultivation. In the future, if you become an inner sect disciple, the distance between you and him will grow bigger and bigger.”
“At that time… if you want to deal with him, it won’t be difficult.”
“Also, after becoming an inner sect disciple, come to the Pilgrimage Palace to take a look first… Maybe you will find some treasure.”
“I will respectfully listen to Teacher’s guidance in everything!” The fire of battle ignited in Ye Yu’s eyes, and his heart was extremely excited.
Yes, no matter how capable Mu Zhian is now, this is the Two Polarities Sect.
To become an inner sect disciple, one looks at talent!
And talent happens to be what Mu Zhian lacks.
That person is just a despicable person who knows how to play some petty tricks.
Lingxuan and Qian’er were both bewitched by him, even his ex-fiancée… was probably the same.
Lingxuan and Bai Ruoxi were bound to become inner sect disciples.
When that time comes…
Ye Yu secretly sneered, turned around and left the Pilgrimage Palace with the crowd.
…
On the other side, Mu Zhian temporarily bid farewell to the maidservant and Bai Ruoxi, and followed Lan Mulian to the back mountain of Two Polarities Peak.
There was a pavilion in front of the back mountain, with the table and bench in an octagonal shape, made of bluestone.
Mu Zhian followed Lan Mulian to the front of the pavilion and saw the sect master standing in front of the pavilion with her hands behind her back, her back facing them.
Her long hair fell down like a waterfall without any styling, and the plain robe concealed her voluptuous figure. Although she was dressed plainly, just her back view made people’s thoughts gradually become lively.
Taking a closer look, Mu Zhian actually found that he seemed to be unable to see her appearance clearly… There was a sense of vagueness, as if it was real and unreal.
“You’re here?” A crisp and pleasant voice came.
For a moment, Mu Zhian had the urge to bow down and worship.
Just when she spoke, it made people feel like they had seen an immortal, and they couldn’t help but feel reverence.
Absolutely can’t kneel! After all, the sect master is also a woman, and a peerless beauty… Mu Zhian suppressed the urge to worship in his heart and looked at Shang Yanfei’s peerless back view.
Slowly, the fiery feelings of an LSP gradually dispelled the urge to worship in his heart.
At the same time, Lan Mulian also quietly left the pavilion.
Shang Yanfei turned around and sat down in front of the table, waved her hand, and a pot of clear tea and two teacups appeared out of thin air in front of the table.
“Sit down, so many things have happened today, you must be thirsty.”
Mu Zhian respectfully nodded and sat across from Shang Yanfei.
Then he couldn’t help but glance at her, but found that he seemed to be unable to see her appearance clearly… It was not the feeling of being blurred by a mosaic, but the moment he saw her, he forgot her appearance.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.” Shang Yanfei smiled.
Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, “Did the sect master hear any strange sounds in front of the altar today?”
“I did.” Shang Yanfei nodded.
“Is there something sealed in the altar of the Pilgrimage Palace?” Mu Zhian asked again.
Then he paused and said, “Do I need to know about the Pilgrimage Palace?”
“You don’t have to.”
“Then forget it, pretend I didn’t ask just now.” Mu Zhian nodded with relief.
Shang Yanfei took a slow sip of tea and smiled, “Aren’t you curious about what that sound is?”
“Anyway, it’s not something I can touch now. Since the sect master had no reaction at that time, I naturally don’t need to worry about it either.” Mu Zhian said.
This kid is quite smart… Shang Yanfei looked at Mu Zhian with a slight smile and said, “Any other questions?”
“Is the sect master still accepting disciples?” Mu Zhian tried to rely on the sect master.
Shang Yanfei slowly shook her head, “We’re not suitable.”
Why does it feel like I confessed to her and was rejected, giving me a sense of frustration… Mu Zhian said, “How much does the sect master know about me?”
This sentence actually had a bit of a riddle-like meaning. Mu Zhian wasn’t sure how much this woman knew about him, whether she even knew that the Demon Realm Empress had left a certain mark on him.
Therefore, by asking such a vague question, he might be able to get some information.
However, to Mu Zhian’s disappointment, Shang Yanfei only gently shook her head and said, “Your question is too vague, be more specific.”
Mu Zhian was silent for a moment and said, “Forget it, I don’t have anything else to ask.”
“Two days later, the nine main peaks will select nine inner sect disciples. If you become an inner sect disciple, you will have access to more resources, which will be helpful for your future cultivation.”
Shang Yanfei gently put down the teacup, raised her eyes to look at him, and smiled charmingly, “You will also have access to more intelligence within the sect.”
“If you want to enter the game, this is the first step.”
Mu Zhian’s hand that had just picked up the teacup stiffened slightly.
What this Two Polarities Sect master just said already had a hint of meaning.
Shang Yanfei should know that the Demon Realm Empress had looked for him…
Mu Zhian thought for a moment and finally made up his mind. He raised his head and said, “Sect Master, actually—”
Shang Yanfei slightly raised her finger to her lips, smiling, “You are a hidden agent, you shouldn’t speak clearly.”
Mu Zhian stared at this extremely beautiful face.
The meaning of her words was already very clear.
Shang Yanfei knew everything but said nothing.
She was playing dumb.
As for the reason… maybe it was because if he admitted that the Demon Realm Empress had sought him out, it would be immediately noticed by that swallowing heaven python.
These two empresses were playing chess, and he was just one of the pieces… a piece between black and white.
He was both the Demon Realm Empress’s person and the sect master’s person.
It’s not easy being a double agent… Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, sighed inwardly, and changed to a more relaxed topic,
“Has the sect master ever received a snow lotus?”
“Are you referring to this snow lotus that accidentally ended up in my hands?”
Shang Yanfei opened her palm, and a pure and flawless snow lotus appeared in her hand.
It was the snow lotus that Mu Zhian had originally intended to send to Lan Mulian through a paper crane that day!
The sect master of the Two Polarities Sect was indeed my pen pal…
Even though he had long guessed this possibility, Mu Zhian was still a little shocked when he heard the other party admit it in person.
This big shark, my fish pond can’t afford to raise it for now… If I really raise it in the fish pond, I’m afraid it will eat me, the owner of the fish pond, one day.
Knowing this fact, Mu Zhian felt a little lost, but also inexplicably moved.
This was probably the feeling of being restless for something unattainable.
The two unknowingly finished a cup of tea, and Mu Zhian finally decided to get up and leave.
What was sealed in the Pilgrimage Palace had nothing to do with him, a Qi Condensation cultivator.
After all, he couldn’t influence the big picture.
This sect master knew what to do.
As for other matters, such as how to become an inner sect disciple… Mu Zhian wouldn’t ask this sect master for help either.
Although he didn’t mind eating soft rice, this sect master’s realm was too high. Before the favorability was full, accepting too many favors from the other party would make the emotional status between the two unequal, making people think, “Is he pursuing me for some benefit?”
It would be very uncomfortable at that time.
When Mu Zhian was about to leave the pavilion, his footsteps paused slightly. He turned his head and smiled, “This junior’s identity is humble and even more incomparable to the sect master. But the words in the previous paper cranes were all true.”
“Those paper cranes of yours were all written to my disciple, right?” Shang Yanfei asked with a teasing smile.
“It was just a coincidence that they ended up in my hands.”
Mu Zhian showed a smile like a spring breeze and said softly,
“It was indeed a coincidence, but maybe it was a destined coincidence.”
…
Under Shang Yanfei’s gaze, Mu Zhian left the pavilion in a good mood.
If it were a normal situation, he wouldn’t have spoken to the sect master like this just now.
But the other party had already exchanged letters with him so many times before, and even had a hint of ambiguity in her words… In this case, it meant that he could take the initiative to attack on his side.
Of course, he had to properly control the favorability… If he accidentally conquered her, Mu Zhian wouldn’t be overjoyed, but would feel a little worried instead.
After all, that was a big shark. If raised in the fish pond, it would eat people.
It was better to take it slow and progress step by step… Mu Zhian was thinking about such things. He waited outside the pavilion for a moment and saw a woman in a white dress stepping on clouds and slowly floating over from a distance.
“Senior Sister.” Mu Zhian took the initiative to call out.
Lan Mulian glanced at the pavilion that was already empty and said, “What did Master ask you?”
“Some things that can’t be said for now.” Mu Zhian said.
Lan Mulian’s beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy, but she didn’t continue to ask.
She changed the question, “Do you have confidence in the inner sect disciple position?”
Hearing this, Mu Zhian immediately became a little distressed and sighed, “To be honest, it’s quite difficult.”
He was indeed a specially admitted student, but only admitted to the Two Polarities Sect. Whether he could become an inner sect disciple would depend on his own ability.
“Senior Sister, is your Two Polarities Peak still accepting people? Why don’t I become your disciple?” Mu Zhian suddenly smiled.
Lan Mulian smiled faintly, “You still have the mood to joke. It seems you are quite confident.”
Mu Zhian shook his head and sighed helplessly, “I wasted too much time in the past, and now I can’t improve my realm in a short period of time.”
“If you had no way, you wouldn’t show such a relaxed expression.” Lan Mulian glanced at him and waited for his answer.
Senior Sister really knows me inside out. This woman is too smart… Mu Zhian paused and continued, “It’s not quite enough for a Qi Condensation fifth stage to become an inner sect disciple.”
“But… I am an art student.”
To directly join the nine main peaks and become an inner sect disciple was not realistic. After all, with so many people fighting for one spot, everyone would have to fight until their heads were bleeding.
But… besides the nine main peaks, there were also some “neutral” forces.
To put it bluntly, to become an inner sect disciple, one didn’t necessarily have to go through the head seats of the nine main peaks.
…It could be done in a simpler way.
