Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Protector of the Monastery (First Update)
The Golden Hall atop the mountain.
Second Elder Wei Chi Xing led a group of disciples as they stood on the square in front of the grand hall, welcoming guests from all directions.
Streaks of light paused in their flight and then descended to the ground.
“Second Elder!”
“Brother Wei Chi!”
These greetings were uttered one after another.
Wei Chi Xing responded with a smile and nodded repeatedly.
“Everyone, please enter the grand hall to rest first, our Sect Leader will arrive shortly!”
Disciples were already leading the way, guiding these guests into the grand hall.
Within Central Province, the Puppet Immortal Sect could also be considered a formidable force. As they hosted this grand banquet, various powers naturally had to show face, and even if they could not come in person, they would send disciples to extend their congrats.
Thus, for a time, guests were as plentiful as clouds, and the scene was extremely lively.
Just then, a blue lotus flower flew across the sky, not yet touching down but already carrying a man’s laughter with it.
“Since when has the Second in Command taken up the role of welcoming guests?”
Upon seeing the visitor, a respectful expression appeared on Wei Chi Xing’s face, as he stepped forward and performed a cupped-fist salute.
“Protector Wan jests, how can I claim to be the Second in Command!”
At that moment, the lotus landed, and as the brilliance dissipated, a man and a woman appeared.
The man was clad in a green robe, with handsome and refined features, exuding an otherworldly temperament.
The woman was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, just having come of age. Her black hair was coiled up, and she had a beautiful countenance, but what drew the most attention was the beauty mark between her eyebrows, red like cinnabar, which added a touch of serenity to the young girl’s face.
“It’s Wan Chengyi from the Garan Sect, and that girl must be the Garan Sect’s young Holy Maiden, Shan Ruoling. Such important figures actually made a personal appearance; this event must be quite the affair!” someone discussed.
At the moment, Wan Chengyi slightly smiled, “Brother Wei Chi is too modest, who doesn’t know that Sect Master Cang of the Puppet Immortal Sect is so obsessed with cultivation and often in seclusion, that it’s indeed Brother Wei Chi who is managing everything in this grand Sect?”
These words seemed complimentary, yet they were somewhat embarrassing.
Wei Chi Xing felt uncomfortable inside, but as Wan Chengyi was an honored guest, it wouldn’t be appropriate to make a retort, so he could only laugh it off and then ordered a disciple to lead Wan Chengyi and his female disciple into the grand hall.
After they had gone, Wei Chi Xing’s expression turned grim.
“Master! That Protector Wan’s words were quite barbed!” Lu Cailan remarked.
Wei Chi Xing sneered, “That Wan Chengyi is notorious for meddling; there’s no need to mind him!”
Meanwhile, inside the grand hall, Wan Chengyi and his disciple were speaking of similar matters.
“Master, it seems you have quite an unfavorable view of this Second Elder of the Puppet Sect,” Shan Ruoling said softly.
Wan Chengyi, seated near the entrance of the grand hall, gave a gentle shake of his head, then glanced at the distant figure of Wei Chi Xing and said indifferently, “Wei Chi Xing has a terrible reputation in the cultivation world, especially you should be very careful around him and better stay away from him! After all, if he could lay a hand on his own disciple, how is he any different from a beast?”
The unsavory affair of Wei Chi Xing with his female disciple was known by almost everyone, except for the seclusion-loving Sect Leader of Puppet Immortal Sect, Cang Yayun, who was still in the dark.
Shan Ruoling’s cheeks turned slightly red upon hearing this and she nodded lightly, “Your disciple understands!”
Then, she quietly scanned the entire place, looking for a familiar figure.
But to her disappointment, she found none.
Liu KeKe, that fellow, why hadn’t she appeared yet? Could it be she wasn’t with her own Sect?
Shan Ruoling pondered with some doubt in her heart.
At that moment, a bustle came from outside.
Wan Chengyi and his disciple turned to look.
They saw a woman with long hair reaching her waist, and a countenance as enchanting as a fox’s, emerge onto the square.
Shan Ruoling’s heart leapt with joy, it was KeKe!
Just as she was about to rise to greet her, she hesitated.
Huh, who are those few people with her?
