Chapter 403 The Arrival of the Flower Sect
However, Yao Long did not return to the Biyun Sect's courtyard, but instead returned to the Tianqing Sect's courtyard with Xiao Jin.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Shang Yan stared intently at Yao Long's back, convinced that Xiao Jin's change in attitude towards her was all because of Yun Qingyi. If Yun Qingyi hadn't appeared, Xiao Jin wouldn't have suddenly become so cold towards her...
They wouldn't leave with Yao Long so openly!
She stomped her foot angrily, but not too much, trying her best to maintain the demeanor of a proud prodigy from a major sect.
Tianqingzong Courtyard.
"Sister Long, you should spend less time with Shang Yan in the future. That person seems to have something wrong with her head." Xiao Jin led Yao Long back to his courtyard, sat down on the stone table, one leg hanging down casually, the other bent on the stone table, elbows on his knees, and took out a pot of peach blossom wine from his spatial ring to drink.
Yao Long sat gracefully on the stone chair, glanced at the wine in his hand, and still had a gentle smile on her lips: "It's not like you can just avoid contact if you want to."
She sighed, "Brother Xiao Jin knows perfectly well that the Biyun Sect and the Zixiao Sect are on good terms. If I go too far, Master will be in a difficult position."
Xiao Jin put away the wine pot, his usually alluring peach blossom eyes showing a rare look of frustration. "But that Shang Yan is always bothering us. She comes for a few days and bothers us for a few days. Every time we see her, she either forces her way in or can't understand human language. We can't get rid of her no matter what we do. When we don't see her, she just shows up at our door. It's so inexplicable!"
Yao Long: "Perhaps Senior Sister Shang Yan just wants to get along with us?"
Xiao Jin: "?"
He felt somewhat frustrated, but not wanting to appear too narcissistic, he subtly suggested, "Sister Long, haven't you noticed that every time she comes to see you, she also comes to see me?"
Yao Long thought for a moment, nodded, and smiled, "Indeed, I guess Senior Sister Shang Yan also saw through our relationship. Even if she came to find me, she felt that I didn't want to be separated from you, so she specially brought me to find you."
Xiao Jin: "Haha...you're right..." Xiao Jin was at a loss, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't you think she likes me?"
These words stunned Yao Long. Although she was a bit naive, she wasn't stupid. She just naturally didn't want to speculate about others. But Xiao Jin's words made her realize something extraordinary, something she hadn't thought about before.
……
On the other side, Xie Xiyan and Yun Qingyi had already arrived at the square. The people from the Hundred Flowers Sect had just arrived, and the two of them strode over when they saw them.
As soon as Qi Yue stepped off the flying boat, she spotted Yun Qingyi and Xie Xiyan. There was no way around it; although the two were low-key, their temperament and appearance were so outstanding that they were the center of attention.
Upon seeing Yun Qingyi, Qi Yue's eyes lit up instantly. She turned and said a few words to the kind woman beside her before running over to find Yun Qingyi.
"It's been a long time, seniors!"
After resting for a while, Qi Yue's condition improved a lot. Yun Qingyi gestured for them to talk in a quiet place, since there were many people around and it was best to be cautious.
Qi Yue nodded in understanding, returned to the Hundred Flowers Sect Master, whispered a few words to her, and the Hundred Flowers Sect Master told the others to go and rest, leaving only a few people, including herself, to leave with Yun Qingyi.
Yun Qingyi thought for a moment. As the personal disciple of the Xuanmiao Sect Master, she was bound to be watched no matter where she was. However, she didn't care about that. But for safety's sake, Yun Qingyi still led them back to her courtyard.
After closing the door and setting up a barrier, Yun Qingyi gestured for the others to sit down.
The sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, who was the kind old woman from before, was the first to bow deeply to Yun Qingyi, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Thank you so much to the seniors of the Xuanmiao Sect for your help. Without you, our little Hundred Flowers Sect would surely have perished."
In the cultivation world, strength usually speaks volumes. The Hundred Flowers Sect is considered a relatively small sect, and its strongest sect leader is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Therefore, even as the sect leader, he can only refer to himself as a junior in front of powerful and noble cultivators.
Yun Qingyi's expression was indifferent. She raised her five fingers slightly in the air, and the Hundred Flowers Sect Master did not kneel down: "There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Although it was only one sentence, the sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect was still moved to tears. In the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle is the basic rule.
Having lived to this age, she has naturally come to understand many things. In this mess that the Hundred Flowers Sect is in, it is already a blessing that someone can help them. Dignity is no longer important to her.
After all, it was common for her sect to be insulted by powerful sects over the years because of its weak strength. She had become accustomed to it and could only put on a smiling face in order for the sect to survive.
I never expected that someone would care about her dignity at her age.
Yun Qingyi didn't say much. She was never very talkative in front of outsiders. She took out the talisman given to her by her master from her storage bracelet. "I have a solution for your situation. Take these talismans. In the coming days, try to minimize going out except for the competition. Don't go out at night."
Then, she took out several more protective and calming items, saying, “You can take these back and distribute them. Although the amulets are enough, having more items is always a good idea. This item can not only ward off evil but also calm the mind, so if you go to bed early at night, you won’t hear any misleading things or have any weird dreams.”
The sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect did not put it away immediately. Instead, he took out a white jade bottle from his storage ring. The bottle was about the size of three palms, and it was clear that it contained a lot of things.
