Chapter 27: Thanks for the Invitation, I’m in the Two Polarity Sect, Just Got Off the Flying Sword
Lan Mulian’s footsteps slowly paused, and she slightly turned her head to look at the young man behind her.
Her cold and beautiful eyes, like an icy realm, showed a hint of surprise. The thin veil could not hide her ethereal and otherworldly appearance. She pursed her cherry lips and said softly, “It’s you?”
The conversation between the two was very concise. If an ordinary person heard it, they probably would not understand what they were talking about at all.
But Mu Zhi’an understood.
Rather, from the moment Lan Mulian reacted to the four words “run away from home”, everything was already proven.
However, he was still a bit surprised. After all, even Mu Zhi’an had never thought that the true identity of the paper crane’s owner would actually be a disciple of the Two Polarity Sect.
Moreover, from the looks of it, her seniority seemed to be not low…
Lan Mulian continued to ask, “You two should be from a big family in a nearby city, right? Why did you come here?”
The Two Polarity Sect was backed by the World Sea. After passing the Two Polarity Sect and walking for several hundred miles, one would reach the legendary World Sea.
That ocean was vast and boundless. Even if an ordinary cultivator flew for two or three days without rest, they would not be able to see the end. In principle, they should not be trying to go to the World Sea.
Mu Zhi’an thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. He said, “Actually, we came to the vicinity of the Two Polarity Sect to look for a medicinal ingredient. It is said that the Beast King Vine can only be found near the Two Polarity Sect?”
“You want the Beast King Vine?” Lan Mulian raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and said, “What do you want this for? The Beast King Vine is used to refine pills for seriously injured patients. Could it be that someone in your family is seriously ill?”
Mu Zhi’an sighed softly, “It’s a long story, but the Beast King Vine is of great significance to me.”
Saying that, he looked up at the woman in front of him and said, “Senior Sister, do you know where I can find the Beast King Vine around here?”
“I’m not your senior sister.” Lan Mulian’s voice was clear and cold, her white dress fluttering, giving people a feeling of being difficult to approach.
As cold and pure as a fairy in a painting.
She continued, “Also, I don’t know where to find the Beast King Vine either.”
Wei Mengrou listened to the conversation between the two and said softly, “Let’s go back first.”
“Wait a moment.”
After Mu Zhi’an lowered his voice and said a sentence to the maid beside him, he looked up and smiled, “Senior Sister, I have a friend who has been struggling in her family for nearly a week. Every time in her letters, she says she wants to leave the family, but every time she only pours out her feelings and never actually takes action… I wonder if this senior sister has any impression of her?”
Lan Mulian’s slender fingers fiddled with a strand of hair, her eyes slightly lowered, and she said indifferently, “I don’t know her.”
After a moment of silence, she glanced at Mu Zhi’an unintentionally and sighed softly, “How should I address this young master?”
“Mu Zhi’an.”
Lan Mulian nodded slightly, and said reservedly, “Young Master Mu, I can give you the Beast King Vine, but may I ask if you have been busy with other things these past few days?”
Is she angry because I didn’t reply to the letter… Mu Zhi’an understood in his heart.
He sighed, “Actually, in the past two days, an uncle of mine who has a good relationship with me has been seriously ill in bed. I’ve been trying to help him these past two days. Tonight, I finally took advantage of my spare time to return home. The first thing I did was go to the study, hoping to reply as soon as possible to avoid worrying the owner of the paper crane.”
Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhi’an unintentionally.
Although Mu Zhi’an had been busy these past two days, he shouldn’t have forgotten to reply to the paper crane’s letter. He clearly just forgot…
No wonder there was no reply in the past two days. It turns out that an elder in the clan is seriously ill… Lan Mulian’s beautiful eyes flashed slightly, then she closed her eyes slightly and scanned the ring on her right index finger with her spiritual sense, taking out an exquisitely crafted small box from it.
A storage ring…
And it seems to be a high-grade storage ring… Mu Zhi’an thought.
This kind of storage ring that could store items was very valuable in itself. However, the Mu family had a huge influence in Tianxuan City, so it wasn’t difficult to obtain such a storage ring.
However, judging from the fact that Lan Mulian searched in her storage ring for so long with her spiritual sense, it was obvious that she had stored a large number of treasures in her ring.
Lan Mulian gently threw the small box, and it landed in Mu Zhi’an’s hand.
When he opened the box, a strong medicinal fragrance assailed his nostrils. Mu Zhi’an took a closer look and saw that in the box was a root as thick as a teacup, with mottled marks on the surface that seemed to vaguely form the character “King”.
It was indeed the Beast King Vine.
Mu Zhi’an looked up and saw that Lan Mulian’s expression was still cold. She said, “You can forget about thanking me. Next time, just give me one of the pills refined from it.”
Such a large Beast King Vine could refine at least one furnace of pills with the same efficacy. This Beast King Vine was almost no different from being given for free… Mu Zhi’an could almost be certain that she was definitely a wealthy and mature beauty.
Fairy sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore… Mu Zhi’an nodded and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister.”
Lan Mulian nodded slightly and said, “Which city are you from?”
“Tianxuan City.”
Lan Mulian lightly “hmm”ed and said, “If there’s nothing else, go back. Wandering outside for too long may cause you to be mistaken for an enemy.”
Mu Zhi’an smiled, “We’ll go back now. Senior Sister, do you want to go back to Tianxuan City with us?”
Lan Mulian hesitated for a moment and shook her head, “Maybe in a few more days.”
“By the way, what’s Senior Sister’s name?” Mu Zhi’an suddenly asked.
Lan Mulian glanced over, and for the first time, a faint smile appeared on her face, “You’ll know the next time we meet.”
That voice was as crisp as breaking ice. Under the thin veil, the beautiful eyes looking at Mu Zhi’an carried a hint of faint laughter.
Lan Mulian lifted her moon-white dress, her feet wearing embroidered short boots with cloud patterns, and gracefully stepped onto the cloud.
She had a tall figure with excellent proportions. Even without seeing her face, just this slender and beautiful back view gave people endless imagination. With just one glance, one could know that she was a stunning beauty who could overturn countries and cities.
If a disciple of the Two Polarity Sect with a rather high status went down the mountain to Tianxuan City… it would probably cause a sensation in the entire Tianxuan City when the time came.
Watching Lan Mulian’s figure disappear from view, Mu Zhi’an sighed with emotion, withdrew his gaze, sat on his flying sword, turned his head and smiled, “Let’s go back, Sister Mengrou.”
Wei Mengrou nodded, raised her fingertips, controlled the flying sword, and rushed towards the direction of Tianxuan City with Mu Zhi’an.
She faced the night wind, her hair fluttering, her clothes tightly fitting her skin, outlining her alluring curves.
“What are you going to do next?” Wei Mengrou suddenly asked.
Mu Zhi’an sat on the flying sword, looked up at Wei Mengrou who was wearing a yellow long dress, stroked the small box in his hand with his fingers, and smiled, “With the Beast King Vine, the remaining materials can be easily gathered by sending someone to the auction house. In other words, now we have the characters, scenes, and events.”
“So now, we just need to have all the actors take the stage and do their best to perform, right?”
