Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1249 - 750: An Unfavorable Start_3
Chapter 1249: Chapter 750: An Unfavorable Start_3
"Farewell, you two."
Crane Child bowed once more, transformed into a white crane, spread its wings, and disappeared into the horizon.
"How could even an attendant be so arrogant now!"
After Crane Child left, Ling Su gritted her teeth, feeling rather indignant, and then turned to Yun Miao. "Senior Brother, you don’t really believe him, do you? His master is an Insect Demon, and now he’s under our master’s name. Think of what this does to Lingxu Cave’s reputation."
"Silence."
True Master Yun Miao’s expression grew slightly cold. Though he could tolerate Ling Su’s antics and understood her feelings, Crane Child’s words made him seriously consider Elder Qing Guang’s intentions.
After contemplating for a moment, he finally turned around. "Take me to see him."
"Hmph!"
Ling Su took a deep breath, her chest heaving rapidly, but under her senior brother’s gaze, she could only let out a heavy snort and reluctantly summoned her magic artifact.
...
Among the verdant Immortal Mountains, there lay a simple yet clean cave dwelling.
It was uninhabited under normal circumstances, used for hosting guests.
A disciple of Lingxu Cave looked at the two seniors and respectfully said, "He has not left, nor shown any anger. Since his arrival, he has just stayed quietly, waiting for the master to receive him, and has not come out."
"What thick skin!" Ling Su spat.
...
True Master Yun Miao had already made his decision and ignored his junior sister’s petty temper as he stepped forward.
He stood outside the cave dwelling, not entering immediately, but first sending a telepathic message to announce their arrival.
Only after receiving a response from inside did he take his junior sister in.
Inside, everything remained as before, with the only item being touched a tea set. Even the cup held no tea leaves, only clear water.
The young man had neatly combed hair, tied with a jade band, his sideburns cascading over his shoulders. He wore a fitted white silk robe, exuding an aura of otherworldly purity as he sat there.
As for his face... It was clearly concealed. At a glance, it appeared gentle as jade, but upon closer inspection, his features became a blur, difficult to make out clearly.
This was a technique of the Shenxu Dao Fruit.
Without knowing his background, even Ling Su nearly mistook him for a highly cultivated senior of their sect.
She frowned. "Concealing yourself, what an odd habit."
True Master Yun Miao raised his hand to stop her words, then spoke gently, "And you are?"
Shen Yi sipped the clear water, moistening his lips. "I fled here for safety, exercising caution. I hope you both can forgive me."
At his level of Shenxu Dao Fruit, this Blinding Technique would at most affect cultivators of Six-Six Transformation, and only if they did not deliberately examine him. Reaching the level of the Southern Emperor, it would be easily seen through.
However, this technique was not to guard against North Continent people, but to avoid encounters with the Jade Pond Ancestor and Shen Mountain Ancestor, both of whom had seen the true appearance of the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva.
"Naturally, it’s understandable."
Yun Miao saw through the illusion and looked at the handsome face, sitting down with a gentle smile. "As a fellow sect member newly arrived in the North Continent, do you find living here comfortable?"
"Thank you for your hospitality, there are no issues," Shen Yi courteously replied.
"No need for formalities. As fellow disciples, if the Dan Emperor is in need, feel free to select any cave dwelling among Lingxu Cave’s grounds, or even create a new one."
"As you face difficulties, Lingxu Cave will not stand by idly. You may stay as long as you like, come and go as you please."
True Master Yun Miao’s smile was impeccable, his courteousness flawless.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Shen Yi slowly raised his eyes, thoughtfully looking over.
Contrarily, Ling Su started, the displeasure on her face gradually turning into a smile.
So that’s how it is, as expected of Senior Brother.
If Qing Guang Cave does not want him, neither does Lingxu Cave. But out of respect for Elder Qing Guang, they provide a place to stay, neither offending Qing Guang Cave nor losing face for their master.
