Chapter 100 - A Mutual Exchange of Visits (2/2)

“And the Director called him Spirit Master.”

“Spirit… Master?” Lonemoon paused for a moment. Suddenly a thought struck him and he

almost fell off from his sword.

“Divine Beast Bai Ze!”

Holy shit. It can’t be, it’s way too soon!

——————

Yi Family, Myriad Beast Peak.

“Spirit Master,” Yi Feng bowed and saluted the man in front of him. “May I know what is it you have summoned me for?”

“Where’s the Invincible Sect?” Before Yi Feng could straighten up, he heard the familiar cool voice ask.

“Invincible Sect?” Surprised by his question, Yi Feng paused for a moment before answering, “I heard it’s… in the Demon Realm.”

“Lead the way.”

“Huh? Huh!” Lead where?

“She invited me for a visit,” Bai Ze answered gravely.

Yi Feng’s mouth twitched. He could not believe his ears. “Spirit Master… Didn’t they just leave?” It had only been an hour since they left. Even if they invited him, wasn’t this a little too soon?!

“We’ll leave in five minutes.” Not bothering to reply, Bai Ze turned and walked back to his cave.

“…”

What did he just hear? The Spirit Master actually wanted to visit the frightening Sect Master Shen. Was it because he was disturbed by the way she had defeated the beasts and wanted to win his pride back?

Yes, that could be it. Spirit Beasts were the most arrogant of species.

Hey, wait.

“Spirit Master, why are you carrying the Black Spirit Blossom? Didn’t you say that nobody was allowed to touch this holy artifact of your divine race?”

“It’s a gift!” Naturally I have to bring her a gift on my first visit.

“…”

You must be kidding me!

It took Shen Ying and Lonemoon five days of non-stop traveling before they finally arrived at Invincible Sect. Once at the palace, Shen Ying flopped herself down on a chair, utterly exhausted.

She had stayed at the Yi Family for two days but been on the road for half a month.

Shen Ying suddenly realized why everyone could fly in this world; it was because this world was really too big. She used up a few years of her exercise quota just on this one trip. And the key issue was… she had not had a good meal!

“Sect Master, Elder Lonemoon.” As Shen Ying was thinking of a way to get Father Niu to take her to the city for a meal, Yu Hong walked in with a red card in her hand. With a queer look on her face, she said, “This is… the Yi Family’s visiting card.”

Visiting card?

“A visiting card so soon? They are really in a hurry.” Lonemoon was a little taken aback. They had just arrived back to their sect. Thinking it was just the usual exchange of visits, he took the card from her but did not read it, his mind being preoccupied with the deal he concluded earlier. He instructed, “Write them a reply, say that our Invincible Sect is always ready to receive them.”

“No… No.” With an odd expression on her face, Yu Hong explained, “This card was not sent over by sorcery.”

“You mean the someone from the Yi Family actually came here with the message?” asked Lonemoon in surprise. This was quite an expression of sincerity. “They’re really courteous. Then tell him that they can pick a date and we’ll be happy to receive them.”

“No…” Yu Hong’s mouth twitched. “The Yi Family Patriarch is… already here.”

“They’re already on their way?” Lonemoon was even more surprised. “Did they have to be in such a hurry? In that case, inform Rabbit King to let them in when they arrive.”

“No, Elder Lonemoon.” Yu Hong hurriedly stepped forwards and pointed outside. “I mean they’re… already at the foot of the mountain.”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

What the hell?!

(*Φ皿Φ*)

Two pairs of accusing eyes immediately locked on a certain person…

“What are you looking at me for?” Lonemoon glared indignantly at them in return. “It was a legitimate business deal. I didn’t cheat them!”

“Oh…” *2

“…”

Oh, my foot! Stop giving me that accusing look!
