Three months later.
“Greetings to Sect Master and both elders from Si Yu!” Si Yu entered the rear hall covered in dust and bowed to the small group seated there.
“Hey, Little Green!” Out of habit, Shen Ying raised her hand to wave at Si Yu and the latter’s eyes brightened immediately. Her exhausted body perked up at once.
“You’re back?” Lonemoon scanned her from head to toe. “How did it go? Did everything go smoothly?”
“Yes!” Si Yu nodded. She took off the storage bag which was hanging by the side of her body and handed it over. “Whatever Elder has instructed, your disciple has completed. This is what Exalted Immortal Shu told me to pass to you.”
“What is it?” Shen Ying asked curiously. She had not seen Little Green for a few days because she had been sent out by Father Niu.
“The remaining fees,” Lonemoon answered. He took the storage bag and opened it. A white flash of light shone from within. Everyone present was nearly blinded by the immortal stones that were packed to the brim.
So… so many!
Shen Ying and her broke followers fell silent in shock!
“Didn’t I give Shu Jiang several talismans to sell the last time?” Lonemoon used his divine perception to scan the contents of the bag before, satisfied that there was the correct amount, he put it away. “Judging by the time, he should have already sold a portion of it. That was why I sent Si Yu out to collect the agreed-upon monies due.”
He’s Father Niu indeed. He actually sold those pieces of air-selling talismans? It looks like he sold them for a considerable price too.
Lonemoon suddenly recalled something and turned to the person beside him. “Yi Qing, have you set up the array to target divine perception that I told you to set up all around the demonic Qi?”
“Yes,” Yi Qing replied, nodding. He poured a cup of tea for Shen Ying and continued, “I did it yesterday.”
“That’s good!” Now he could let the first batch of people who bought the talismans enter the demonic Qi to train. What’s more, that area was already isolated from the sect using an isolation array. That way, the immortals who entered would not disturb the disciples’ training, and they would not find out the truth about the demonic Qi as well. That array had been handed over to Yi Qing by Xun Shu; ordinary people would not be able to break through it.
“Oh yes, is Yu Hong back yet?” He suddenly recalled another matter.
Si Yu shook her head. “I did not bump into Senior Sister on my way back here.”
Lonemoon counted the time that had passed and realised that it was not yet time for Yu Hong to return. He instructed Si Yu to get some rest and was planning to discuss matters regarding the demonic Qi with the other two when he realised that Yi Qing and Shen Ying were already happily talking about what dishes they should add.
“We have money now, Chef. We can prepare afternoon tea!”
“What do you want to eat, Master?”
“Anything will do. We could have melons, chicken, mixed seafoods, asparagus, winter bamboo shoots, magnolia tablets, duck, fish head… anything like that!”
“Yes, Master! No problem, Master!”
Lonemoon: “…”
These wastrels!

“What did you say?” The corners of Xun Shu’s mouth twitched. He looked at the composed woman standing in front of him and wondered if he had misheard her. “Who sent you here?”
