Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Saintess_1

After some commotion, the four finally quieted down, and by that time, Zong Wangyue, Jin Qi, and Dai Zhenan were already standing at the door.

"Boss, you’re looking quite spirited," one of them remarked.

You gave Zong Wangyue, who was grinning from ear to ear, a sidelong glance and warned, "Keep that mouth shut unless you want to end up with a face like a pig’s head."

If staying in the Ladies’ Home turned out to be a fragrantly scandalous journey, that would be one thing. But in reality, being stared at by four stunning beauties at the same time was just too eerie.

Now that you think about it, it still gives you goosebumps, and you’ve firmly resolved never to step foot in that terrifying Witch’s House again.

Zong Wangyue, still with a thick-skinned grin, cheerfully said to you, "During the three days you were away, we received lots of membership applications for our club. I think we should probably hold some sort of initiation test, don’t you?"

After exchanging a glance with Wei Shuxian, you both thought Zong Wangyue’s idea wasn’t bad. However, since you were leaving that afternoon, you said to everyone, "I just got a notification from Lao Du. I need to pack my bags and head out this afternoon."

"Where to?"

"Southern Jiangxi, it’s a rather remote place. I suspect it’s an archaeological activity. Even the archaeology team from Eastern Sea University is mobilized. It seems like a joint event between two universities."

"Wow, Boss, you’re so awesome!" Zong Wangyue gave you a thumbs up. "You’re just a freshman and the leadership has already assigned you such an important task. Hehe, it looks like our club is destined to thrive!"

You pinched your nose and humbly said, "That may be, but I’ve got a bad feeling about this. Considering how things started and the way they’ve progressed, I’m sure there’s more to the story. Anyway, I need to be completely prepared for this trip."

With that, you turned to Wei Shuxian and asked, "Is Madman discharged from the hospital yet?"

"Him? He’s living it up now!" Yang Kai sneered. "The guy was never actually sick, but he managed to stay in the best hospital room for three days, definitely living like an Emperor. From what I know, he probably managed to seduce our Lele in the hospital."

"What do you mean ’our Lele’? She’s my wife, she’s mine!"

As they spoke, Xiao Feng swaggered in from outside, his arrival making the already cramped dorm room even more crowded.

Xiao Feng looked at you with a wicked smirk.

This guy was definitely the most shameless in the group, bar none!

Even without saying a word, his expression was enough to make you want to beat him up—what a jerk!

Seeing you reach out to pat his shoulder, Xiao Feng quickly backed away, "That’s my most precious memory, can’t let a peeping tom like you see it."

Xiao Feng was quite aware of your ability, knowing that you could find out a person’s past deeds through a single touch.

"Hmph, got you all smug," you chuckled, then asked, "You free now?"

"Yeah, what’s up?"

"Come with me to a few places later, I need to buy some stuff for a trip."

"No way, you’re going away again? What about the club if you leave? Just yesterday, Zongzi took on an off-campus mission that seems to involve some female ghost."

"Damn it! You are all eighteen or nineteen already, not kids! Can’t you handle things on your own? The stuff I needed to teach, I’ve already taught you."

Wei Shuxian nodded, "Old Shu is right, we’re not kids anymore. We can’t rely on Old Shu for everything. Madman, don’t you always boast about being the vice president? With Old Shu gone, you should step up. Otherwise, how do you face Lele in the future? Do you want her to see someone who always hides behind Old Shu like a pus-bag?"

Provoked by Wei Shuxian’s challenge, Xiao Feng immediately puffed out his chest, "Nonsense, if Old Shu can do it, so can I!"

Seeing Xiao Feng like this, you exchanged a look with Wei Shuxian and shared a smile.

It seemed that something occurred to him, and he said to Wei Shuxian, "Glasses, you’d better find a good feng shui master and get a compass. A compass will have a greater reaction in places with heavier yin energy, which can help you avoid entering dangerous areas. Remember, safety first!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on this bunch of monkeys," Wei Shuxian reassured, patting his shoulder.

He didn’t ask Fan Yi to join him in buying equipment, as she was only slightly shorter than himself. When buying equipment, he could just purchase based on his own size; at most it would be a little loose for her.

While shopping for Fan Yi’s gear, he couldn’t help but think of Zhao’er again.

Zhao’er, where are you...

Kyoto, Kyoto City.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly came to a stop outside the Thousand-Year Ancient Temple, and a well-proportioned woman dressed in black got down from the passenger seat. She bowed her head respectfully and opened the door to the back of the car.

A snow-white leg delicately stepped out, followed by a black-haired woman with a mesmerizingly proud figure who slowly emerged.

She had long straight black hair cascading like a waterfall, her figure slender, and she wore a pale purple cheongsam with side slits that revealed her exquisite physique. Just gazing at her back was enough to intoxicate the onlooker.

At that moment, the always-shut doors of the ancient temple were opened by two handmaidens dressed in Tang Dynasty attire, and a middle-aged woman, also dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes, emerged with a smile.

"Saintess, our mistress has been waiting for you for quite some time," the middle-aged woman said warmly.

"Thank you," the woman known as the Saintess replied with a slight nod, gracefully following the other woman into the temple.

Passing through several cypress trees that stood tall for over a millennium, they entered a courtyard where a plainly dressed woman was sweeping fallen leaves from the ground.

The woman in Tang attire approached and bowed to the sweeper, "Mistress, the Saintess has arrived."

The plainly dressed woman raised her head, and to the surprise of many, she was none other than the ancestor of the Wu family!

The ancestor of the Wu family had shed her usual sharpness at this moment, appearing no different from an ordinary middle-aged woman; no traces of edges or sharpness could be seen in her face or eyes.

However, anyone familiar with even a fraction of her past would not dare to take her lightly, for she was a woman who had lived for over a thousand years!

Or rather, perhaps she wasn’t human at all!

"Little Yang, it has been over ten years since we last met, hasn’t it?" the ancestor of the Wu family remarked.

"Indeed," the Saintess nodded slightly. Even in the presence of this thousand-year-old creature, she, the Saintess of the Holy Alliance, did not dare to show any disrespect.

"The last time I saw you, you were just a little girl with pigtails. In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown so much; truly, time spares no one," she remarked.

Hearing such words from a thousand-year-old being felt rather absurd since time had long ceased to have much significance for her.

"Ancestor, before I came, my master repeatedly instructed me to present a precious treasure to the Empress," the Saintess said.

The ancestor of the Wu family smiled faintly, "Your master is thoughtful, but the Empress is in seclusion, and no one is allowed to see her. After you complete this mission and return, it will be the day the Empress ends her seclusion, and then I will introduce you to her."

"Thank you, ancestor!" the Saintess replied, bowing her head. A ripple passed through her clear eyes, leaving others clueless about what she was plotting.
