Chapter 1458: Chapter 1454: Who Goes There! (First Update!)
Wang Chengxiang looked at the woman before him and hurried forward with a cupped fist salute, "Miss, my name is Wang Chengxiang, and I am an old friend of your Sect Master from the past. I must trouble you to pass on a message!"
"You’re seeking our Sect Master?" The woman looked at Wang Chengxiang with surprise and after a long while said, "The Sect Master will not see visitors, and recently she has been in a poor mood. I think you both should leave and perhaps try again in a few days."
Wang Chengxiang was taken aback and asked, "What’s wrong with your Sect Master? Maybe I can help with something."
Of course, the Green Spirit Sect disciple wouldn’t divulge such confidential matters and could only wave her hand dismissively, "Mr. Wang, please don’t ask about these things. The Sect Master’s affairs are not for low-ranking disciples like us to question."
With that said, the disciple was ready to close the door.
At this moment, Ren Feifan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "If I’m not mistaken, your Sect Master must be injured, and quite severely at that!"
The disciple about to close the door was startled, her hand froze in place, and she blurted out subconsciously, "How did you know? We..."
Her voice came to an abrupt halt, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment as she gazed curiously at Ren Feifan, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Only a few disciples knew about the Sect Master’s injury, and even he had learned of it by chance when he was delivering something to the Sect Master.
But how could the man before her know so clearly?
And by the looks of it, it didn’t seem like he was guessing.
Wang Chengxiang, standing beside Ren Feifan, was also startled, looking at the young man before him with surprise. Why did he feel this youngster was becoming more and more enigmatic?
Had he not gotten over the matter of those experts kneeling down a few days ago, and now this kid could tell fortunes with such news?
Seeing the Green Spirit Sect disciple’s reaction had already confirmed Ren Feifan’s judgment was correct.
It seemed that the guy was indeed injured this time.
The disciple knew she couldn’t talk to these people anymore, the more she spoke, the more she might reveal about the Sect Master.
If the other party was a spy from other sects, that would be troublesome. So she hastily waved them off with impatience, "I think you both should leave now, just like that!"
After speaking, she directly closed the door of the Qinglanzong.
Just as she was about to return to the great hall of Qinglanzong, an icy voice rose from outside, "I guess you’re seeking someone to save your Sect Master. Let me tell you, only I can save her."
Upon hearing these words, the disciple halted in her tracks. While she harbored some doubts, the performance she had just witnessed did make it seem somewhat plausible.
So, after pondering for a few seconds, she turned back, opened the gate, and looked at Ren Feifan, asking, "I can report to the Sect Master for you, but you have to tell me first how you guessed that something happened to our Sect Master."
Ren Feifan, hands clasped behind his back, pointed towards the sky over Qinglanzong and said slowly, "I am an Alchemist and have also inherited some secret techniques. Just now, I noticed a wisp of black qi lingering above your sect gate. Although this black qi isn’t fatal, it is surrounded by a slight amount of death qi, indicating that someone within this sect has been severely injured.
"Moreover, ordinary experts are simply incapable of causing such natural phenomena. Then, combining your previous words, I speculated that it was your Sect Master who was injured."
The Green Spirit Sect disciple was immediately in awe of Ren Feifan. Could there actually be such an impressive being in this world?
She looked up at the sky, yet she could see nothing.
"Why can’t I see the black qi you are talking about?"
Ren Feifan gave a cold laugh and said leisurely, "It’s normal that you can’t see it, because you’re not an Alchemist."
The body of the Qinglanzong disciple jolted, then she closed the door and said, "In that case, I will go and report to the Sect Master right now. However, whether the Sect Master wishes to see you is beyond my control. Please wait here."
"Thanks," they replied.
...
The Green Spirit Sect disciple quickly made her way to the great hall of the Qinglanzong. Above the hall sat a woman who appeared to be in the prime of her youth.
But no one knew that she was actually over a hundred years old.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, there are people outside seeking an audience!"
Upon hearing the voice, the prime-of-youth-looking woman opened her eyes and shot forth a bright light, saying coldly, "Yi, didn’t I say that I won’t see anyone these days? Just send those two women away!"
"Sect Master, they are two men..."
The Sect Master of Qinglanzong’s gaze became more focused and said, "Men, I want to see even less. Leave!"
The female disciple was taken aback, as it was her first time seeing the Sect Master so angry. However, with the thought that the men outside might save the Sect Master, she still steeled herself and said, "Sect Master, one last thing, there is an elder outside, he said his name is Wang Chengxiang, and he is an old acquaintance of yours!"
This time, the Qinglanzong Sect Master did not rage as before, and her expression softened somewhat, murmuring, "Wang Chengxiang? Isn’t that man the former Wang Palace’s Law Enforcement Elder? His status was once unattainable even for me, and now he has fallen to such a state, why would he think of seeking me out? I heard he even lost both his legs and all his cultivation – a real pitfall, truly a shame."
She sneered a few times and then with a sweeping gesture of her hand commanded, "Since he is already here, bring him in. I actually want to see what kind of state this broken man is in now. Without legs, he must be quite a sorry sight."
The Qinglanzong female disciple furrowed her brow slightly, surprised that the Sect Master could be so callous. But she dared not defy the Sect Master’s orders and hurried back to the gate, opened it, and said to Wang Chengxiang and Ren Feifan, "Follow me, the Sect Master invites you."
Wang Chengxiang’s heart leaped with joy, and he laughed heartily, boasting to Ren Feifan, "Lad, in Hidden Gate, besides strength, connections are even more important! It’s good for you to make more friends."
Ren Feifan didn’t respond, but his brows were deeply furrowed, for some reason he suddenly felt a familiar presence as if someone was nearby.
He looked at his hand, which seemed to be wrapped by an invisible thread, tightly connected to a certain place in Wuliang Mountain.
"Could it be Su Mohan?" Ren Feifan wondered.
"Kid, did you even listen to what your second uncle said? Remember, when you meet the Green Spirit Sect Master, don’t act so impulsively like before!"
"Ah? Right!" Ren Feifan returned to his senses and hastily replied.
The group quickly arrived at a main hall, resplendent with gold and splendor, where looking up, you could see a vividly painted Phoenix on the ceiling!
The Phoenix reigned supreme, full of grandeur, indeed exuding a sense of queendom.
Soon, Wang Chengxiang saw the Green Spirit Sect Master sitting above in the hall!
He quickly stepped forward, saying enthusiastically, "Haha, Xiao Ting, it has been a long time since we’ve seen each other, ten years right? I see you haven’t changed a bit in these ten years!"
His familiarly warm greeting was met with silence.
