The corner of Lan Hua’s mouth twitched. He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to vomit blood. Then, he spoke, “I heard that you’re going to the Immortal Rainbow Palace in the Heaven beyond Heavens to participate in the Mystic Spirits and Immortals Meeting. Is that true?”
“Yes.”
“Where Chen Ge is?”
Shen Ying tilted her head and stared at him. “You know him?”
Lan Hua stared blankly back at her, and a strange look flashed across his face. A few seconds later, he answered, “That’s not important! I have come to tell you that those Celestial Emperors are all baddies.”
“Oh.” Shen Ying pulled the blanket up to her chin.
“You don’t believe me?” Lan Hua was even more anxious now. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it back down. “I’m telling the truth – especially Chen Ge. Although his reputation is the best amongst all the ten Celestial Emperors, nobody knows what exactly he did while in hiding.” As if recalling something, Lan Hua frowned. “You need to be careful! It’s best for you not to continue associating with these people. Do you understand?”
“Oh.”
“But there are so many people who will be participating in the competition. I think you wouldn’t be able to meet him.”
“I’m not taking part in the competition.”
“What!” Lan Hua was shocked.
He only knew about this because he had left his projection behind and overheard some disciples in the sect speaking about the Mystic Spirits and Immortals Meeting. He became anxious and rushed over to warn her. Now that he thought about it, she was merely an Earth Immortal and her immortal Qi was almost non-existent. It was true that she was not qualified to take part in the competition.
It seemed that he had panicked for no reason. He let out a long sigh. “It’s best for you not to go at all?”
“I have to go.”
“What?” He had just relaxed, but now he felt his blood heating up once more. If he weren’t a projection, he would have vomited blood by now. “If you’re not participating in the competition, what are you going there for?”
“Father Niu told me to.” She did not even want to go either.
“What Father Niu?”
“The Elder in charge of the finances of my sect.”
“Is your elder crazy?” Lan Hua sounded anxious again. The figure floated back and forth in front of her. “Is there nobody left around here? Why would he send a little Earth Immortal like you over there to join in the crowd? The Heavens beyond Heaven is not a fun place to be in. Listen to me. Don’t go!”
“I don’t think that’s possible.”
“Why not?”
“Because… I think I’m the sect master.”
“……”
Huh?
(⊙_⊙)
Lan Hua stared at her for several seconds without saying anything.
Sect Master! Her?
“Can I ask you something?”
“Hm?”
“The people in your sect… have they gone insane from inhaling too much demonic Qi?” Why did they choose an Earth Immortal to be their sect master!
“…”
He was just about to ask more questions, but his figure suddenly shook violently and began to fade away slowly. It was clear that he would not be around much longer. He began to panic and quickly instructed, “My projection is not going to hold on for much longer. Remember to be careful around Chen Ge. He’s not a good immortal. Make ample preparation and prepare all your immortal treasures and equipment. Put them on the Day-Concealing Blanket that I gave to you the last time, along with the Water-Cutting Silk and Soul-Protection Hairpin. Oh yes, and the Day-Setting Bell… put them all on.” He eagerly recited a list of strange equipment as his voice became fainter and fainter. Just before he disappeared, he added one last sentence.
“This just won’t do; go to Willow Forest a hundred miles from here to look for me! I have to go. Remember not to tell anyone that I came by here today…”
As he finished speaking, the black figure disappeared without a trace.
“Oh…” Shen Ying nodded seriously. Then, she turned around to address the two people who had been standing at the door the entire time. “This is not counted as telling people right?”
Yi Qing: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
A while later…
“A hundred miles from here – the Willow Forest in the southwest corner!”
“Me, go, catch!”
