Bastard, Who Would Miss You?!
Xuan Province, Jade Maiden Sect.
Above, the cold moon was like frost; below, Leng Yue Shuang was also as cold and fairy-like as the moon, constantly wielding her longsword.
A white moonlight shimmered around her, as if a fairy were dancing, but her sword qi was sharp and seemed to vent some frustration.
After a moment, Leng Yue Shuang sheathed her sword and stood, her expression somewhat sullen.
She took out a jade slip; she knew the words on it by heart, but again, no new words had appeared.
‘I am well. Qiu Zhi has joined the Heaven’s Evolution Sect. Do not worry!’
Leng Yue Shuang’s pretty face was icy. Was this all she could write on the jade slip she herself gave?
Would it kill you to say a few more words?
Even if you don’t care about yourself, at least mention where you’re going!
And “Do not worry,” you scoundrel, who would miss you?!
Leng Yue Shuang grew angrier and angrier as she read, finally slashing out angrily with her sword, creating a groove in the ground.
She wanted to go to the Broken Moon Mountain Range to settle the score with Lin Luochen, but this time Gu Qinghan was unwilling to let her leave the sect so easily.
After all, the last time she went out, she left the accompanying Elder behind and caused quite a stir in Lan Province.
Although the final result was good—she brought back a Heaven’s Chosen with outstanding talent—it still startled Gu Qinghan.
How could this girl be so reckless and dare to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth under the very noses of the Demonic Path!
Leng Yue Shuang couldn’t go out and had no news from Lin Luochen, making her extremely frustrated.
Lin Luochen, don’t let me see you again, otherwise, I’ll do as you wish and capture you back to the Jade Maiden Sect to lock you up!
As she was feeling down, a teasing voice sounded.
“Senior Sister, what are you thinking about? Could it be Lin Luochen?”
Leng Yue Shuang was startled, but seeing Murong Xiazhu teasing her, and no one else around, she relaxed.
She quickly set up a soundproof formation and made a silencing gesture.
“Shh, Junior Sister, don’t mention him within the sect. It will be trouble if Master and the others hear you!”
After Murong Xiazhu returned to the Jade Maiden Sect with her, Gu Qinghan discovered that she possessed the extremely rare Sun Phoenix Body, and she immediately paid great attention to her.
Gu Qinghan originally wanted Leng Yue Shuang to take a disciple, but Leng Yue Shuang, thinking of something, repeatedly refused.
In the end, Gu Qinghan could only personally accept Murong Xiazhu as a disciple, making Murong Xiazhu Leng Yue Shuang’s junior sister.
Seeing Leng Yue Shuang’s flustered appearance, Murong Xiazhu couldn’t help but say with a chuckle, “Senior Sister, you really are thinking about him, aren’t you?”
Leng Yue Shuang quickly put on a cold and distant demeanor, saying indifferently, “Junior Sister, don’t talk nonsense. We cultivators should be pure and desireless. Who would think of him…”
Murong Xiazhu responded with an “Oh,” shaking her head. “If that’s the case, then forget it. I was thinking of helping you sneak out!”
Leng Yue Shuang was immediately stunned, quickly grabbing her, saying embarrassedly, “Junior Sister, do you have a way to get out?”
Murong Xiazhu teased, “Didn’t Senior Sister say she didn’t miss him?”
Leng Yue Shuang’s face turned red, stubbornly saying, “I don’t miss him! I just want to go for a walk…”
Murong Xiazhu, having spent a lot of time with her, wasn’t afraid of her at all and now had a teasing look on her face, nodding repeatedly.
“Oh yes, yes, yes, Senior Sister just thinks that the Broken Moon Demon Gorge has beautiful scenery and wants to stay in that small wooden house for a few days…”
Leng Yue Shuang angrily said, “Junior Sister, you’re hateful! I even helped you find out about Murong Qiuzhi!”
Murong Xiazhu knew that she seemed cold but was actually thin-skinned and stopped teasing her.
“Senior Sister, Master won’t let you go out, just leave secretly. What can Master do to you?”
Leng Yue Shuang was somewhat moved, hesitatingly saying, “That’s not good, is it? What if Master comes after me?”
Murong Xiazhu said triumphantly, “Senior Sister, don’t be afraid. At most, Master will put you in confinement. Isn’t that what you’re already experiencing?”
Leng Yue Shuang was speechless. Murong Xiazhu continued to press her advantage, trying to encourage her to leave the Jade Maiden Sect with her.
Although she knew Murong Qiuzhi was safe, she was still worried, afraid that she would be bullied by the Demonic Path.
After all, in her heart, Murong Qiuzhi had always been so gentle and submissive.
“Senior Sister, I have experience with running away from home. I often took Qiu Zhi out before. The most important thing is to know your enemy and yourself. First, ask…”
She carefully imparted her years of experience in running away from home, Leng Yue Shuang listening intently, nodding occasionally, her beautiful eyes shining brightly in the night.
Lin Luochen, you just wait for me! I won’t let you off easily!
However, Leng Yue Shuang didn’t know that someone had already done what she wanted to do.
Su Yuyao, like Leng Yue Shuang, wanted to go out but was prevented by her Master.
But unlike Leng Yue Shuang, she simply left a note and ran away with Lin Luochen in the middle of the night.
The Corpse Yin Sect disciples guarding the mountain gate didn’t dare to stop this Grandaunt. After all, the disciples who had stopped her before had been hung on the mountain gate all night.
Su Yuyao, the Holy Maiden, was like a young lady in the Corpse Yin Sect. Ordinary disciples wouldn’t dare to offend her.
When True Person Cuiyin saw Su Yuyao’s note, her pretty face turned black, then she looked helpless.
“Girls grow up too fast!”
However, seeing that Su Yuyao was much more lively, she was quite relieved, yet also a little helpless.
Before Lin Luochen arrived, Su Yuyao was quite reclusive because she disliked the atmosphere and the death qi of the Corpse Yin Sect’s old men and women.
She often went into seclusion or left the sect, only being lively in front of Zhao Shouren and his wife; at other times, she kept people at a distance.
Now, she has taken a disciple and smiles more often. It seems she is too lively.
Lin Luochen sat on the Corpse Eagle, looking at Su Yuyao’s triumphant look, feeling uneasy.
“Master, will we be alright running away like this?”
Su Yuyao, clearly experienced, waved her hand. “What could happen? Just come back alive!”
Lin Luochen frowned. Could his Master have grown up relying only on boundless good fortune?
“Master, aren’t you afraid of assassination from other sects?”
Su Yuyao shrugged. “What’s there to be afraid of? The Holy War hasn’t started yet. If the Holy Maiden dies, we can just replace her.”
Lin Luochen suddenly realized. “That’s true. A Holy Maiden as incompetent as you is better off not being replaced…”
Seeing that he had inadvertently spoken the truth, Su Yuyao was furious, chasing after him to beat him up.
“You rebellious disciple, would it kill you to not make me angry for a day?!”
“Master, watch where you’re going! We’re going to crash into a mountain!”
…
Lan Province, while not rich, is vast and sparsely populated, with most people concentrated in the main cities.
Among them, the Holy Hall is in the center, and the three great dynasties and the Six Paths Sect are distributed around it, like stars surrounding the moon.
The Corpse Yin Sect and the Heaven’s Evolution Sect are quite far apart, and it took Lin Luochen and Su Yuyao over half a month to fly there.
Because Su Yuyao needed to collect materials for refining corpses, it took a lot of time along the way, and Lin Luochen saw a lot of new things.
Moreover, he discovered that although Su Yuyao wasn’t wealthy in terms of physical build, she was generous, and her purse was quite full!
Lin Luochen saw her spending spirit stones without blinking an eye along the way, even the mouse was fed until it was round and plump.
As expected, borrowing money from the dead is a good business!
It took the master and disciple half a month to finally arrive in Qiankun City near the Heaven’s Evolution Sect.
Su Yuyao wanted to find the main material for refining corpses first, refine the corpse, and then visit the Heaven’s Evolution Sect with Lin Luochen.
“Master, why do we have to refine the corpse before going to the Heaven’s Evolution Sect? Will the Heaven’s Evolution Sect be hostile to us?”
Su Yuyao pouted. “The Holy War hasn’t begun yet; they wouldn’t dare to be openly hostile to me, but…”
“But what?”
“It’s just that Yun Chuji and I have a little… conflict. She’s very enthusiastic every time she sees me and wants to take me back to the Heaven’s Evolution Sect as a guest.”
Seeing Su Yuyao’s guilty look, Lin Luochen guessed that this conflict wasn’t small.
“So, you can’t beat her and don’t want to lose face?”
“Who can’t beat her?!”
Su Yuyao stubbornly said, “Just wait until I refine the corpse. Then, just like when I was a child, I will beat her until she cries for her parents and makes the Heaven’s Evolution Sect come and get her!”
Hearing this, Lin Luochen felt that this blood feud was unlikely to be resolved peacefully.
Perhaps it’s better if I go myself and avoid being caught in the crossfire.
“Master, don’t you already have a corpse?”
Su Yuyao said a little nervously, “That one was actually given to me by Master. I didn’t refine it myself, and I can’t control it freely.”
Lin Luochen sighed. “Master, your Grand Master really loves you; she hasn’t replaced you as Holy Maiden.”
Su Yuyao gave him a light punch, grumbling, “When we get back, I’ll have Master make arrangements for you to be the Holy Maiden!”
“That’s unnecessary!”
The two of them bantered as they entered an inn. The still attractive female innkeeper actually had Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Lin Luochen couldn’t help but sigh. As expected, only in a large city could one find cultivators everywhere.
The female innkeeper seemed to know Su Yuyao. Seeing her, she immediately greeted her enthusiastically.
“Fairy Su, you’re getting even more beautiful! I almost didn’t recognize you after all this time.”
Su Yuyao coughed lightly, saying faintly, “I’ve been busy these years and haven’t come over. You still remember me.”
The innkeeper smiled. “How could I forget someone like you, Fairy? Are you still staying in Yun Yao Garden this time?”
Su Yuyao was pleased and hummed in agreement. “Same as before. Set up a spirit gathering formation for me!”
The innkeeper nodded and looked at Lin Luochen, curiously asking, “And this Young Master?”
Su Yuyao’s face flushed slightly, trying to remain calm. “He can stay next to me. Isn’t there a side room?”
The innkeeper’s expression was normal, and she enthusiastically led the two to their rooms.
Along the way, she looked at Lin Luochen meaningfully, making him feel uneasy.
“If the honored guests have any needs, please feel free to ask.”
Su Yuyao nodded and took Lin Luochen into the courtyard, then closed the courtyard gate.
Seeing this, the innkeeper couldn’t help but chuckle. “To think the little girl from back then has grown up, and she even brought a boyfriend.”
She seemed to think of something, frowning in a troubled way.
“Ugh, should I notify the Holy Maiden? It’s really troubling. Never mind, let’s not ruin my reputation.”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t recognize her. Even if I don’t say anything, others in the city will talk, so I’d better not ruin my own signboard.”
