Chapter 680: Emergency Immortal Sect Meeting (2/2)

”Uncle Qian is ok?” Xiao Xiaoyu asked excitedly. After she led the enemies away, she wanted to turn back to save Yu Qian, but now that she heard that he was ok, joy naturally filled her heart.

Nodding his head once again, the middle aged man replied, ”Because you led a few experts away, Manager Qian could hold out until I arrived. He’s recuperating inside the room now.”

Once he finished his sentences, he turned to look at Mo Wuji, who was standing behind Xiao Xiaoyu, calmly asking, ”Who is this mortal?”

Xiao Xiaoyu quickly made an introduction, ”This is Da Huang, a fisherman from Divergent Immortal Village at the edge of Extreme Glade Sea. Little Miss saved him once, and I met him in the wilderness this time. As I was worried about his situation, and Little Miss was seriously injured, I brought him back to run errands. But I didn’t expect that Revered Leader would be here…”

Mo Wuji nodded to himself. It seemed like Xiao Xiaoyu did not bring him to Wind Plains Immortal City purely for her Little Miss, but also to take care of him. A mortal left in the wilderness would easily lose his life there.

Birds of the same feather flock together indeed. That Little Miss named Yan Yuerong was very kind, and Xiao Xiaoyu wasn’t a bad person either. There weren’t many immortals that would lend a helping hand to mortals.

”Eh, Da Huang, it’s really you.” A voice filled with surprise echoed out as the slightly pale Yan Yuerong approached.

”Little Miss, you’re ok?” Xiao Xiaoyu exclaimed, ”That’s right, Revered Leader is here, so there’s naturally no need to worry about Little Miss’ injuries.”

Chuckling to herself, Yan Yuerong replied, ”Sister Xiaoyu, how many times have I told you, call me Yuerong, not Little Miss.”

With a face of seriousness, Xiao Xiaoyu responded, ”Manners must not be forgotten, and these small things reflect one’s character”

”Whatever, do whatever you want.” Yan Yuerong seemed to be more interested in Mo Wuji. After she completed her sentence, he gaze fell on him as she said, ”Da Huang, why are you here?”

When she finished, she spoke to the middle aged man too, ”Great grandfather, Da Huang is very loyal. When the family that took him in was captured by Seaside Trade Union, he risked his life to save them. He’s even more upright than us immortals.”

The man that Xiao Xiaoyu referred to as Revered Leader nodded his head at Mo Wuji, ”Although you don’t have spiritual roots, but you have the attitude of an immortal…”

After a short pause, he continued, ”It’s ok if you can’t cultivate, from now on you can stay at Yuerong’s side and help her run errands. Even though you can’t live for long, but we can at least ensure you’ll reach a few hundred years of age.”

He simply doted this granddaughter of his a little too much. Hence, since she valued Mo Wuji’s character, then he would let him run errands for her.

”Great grandfather, don’t make conclusions that quickly. I can help Da Huang find some martial arts techniques. Who knows, he might have talent for martial arts.” Yan Yuerong added on. She really admired Mo Wuji a lot.

The middle aged man nodded his head in agreement, ”You’re right, the heavens always gives everyone a chance. It isn’t unheard of for people without spiritual roots to seek dao on the path of martial artists.”

As he heard their conversation, Mo Wuji was speechless. Make him, a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, run errands for this little Grand Yi Immortal? You must be dreaming.

Just as he was about to reject the offer, the middle aged man carried on speaking, ”The Yong Ying Immortal Sect Meeting at Wind Plains Immortal City’s Castellan’s estate will be starting soon. Yuerong, you and Xiaoyu can go to observe it.”

”What Yong Ying Immortal Sect Meeting?” Yan Yuerong asked quizzically.

Revealing a smile, the middle aged man explained, ”A few hours ago there was a Grand Zhi Immortal named Lin Fan that entered the Lake of Poison. This guy had some sort of treasure so he didn’t fear the poisonous water of the lake, and stayed in there for hours. In the end he obtained all of the treasures in the Lake of Poison, which are rumored to be 10 Primal Water Crystals, and a Water Elemental Bead. On top of that, there’s a ring that was left behind by some ancient power. To catch this guy, Wind Plains Immortal City is holding an immortal sect meeting to make this guy a wanted man.”

Mo Wuji was shocked. There was only one guy that knew he obtained a Water Elemental bead, so how did this news leak out? No, that skeleton also knew. The only possibility now is that there was someone that entered the Lake of Poison after him, reached the house he blew open and met the skeleton…

”No wonder I felt something was up in Wind Plains Immortal City when I returned.” Xiao Xiaoyu remarked.

Upon hearing this news, Yan Yuerong frowned, ”Great grandfather, since those items were obtained by that guy named Lin Fan, why is everyone after him? Didn’t he get them with his own strength?”

A grin appeared on the middle aged man’s face, ”Yuerong, you’re kind at heart, which makes great grandfather very happy. But the Immortal World isn’t a place that’s full of upright people like you imagine it to be. There are many things going on in the dark. You were hunted by other people on two occasions right? The first time you were saved by a passing expert, while I managed to save Manager Qian today. They were after you because it is rumored that one of the Primal Water Crystals is in your possession.”

”But I didn’t take any.” Yan Yuerong frantically said.

Sighing, the middle aged man spoke, ”I know you didn’t take it, but other people don’t. In the Immortal World, it would be better to believe that something is true regardless whether it really is true or not. There’s currently a lack of cultivation resources, and what kind of a treasure is a Primal Water Crystal? Once it appears, who wouldn’t want to obtain it? Thankfully I still have some level of influence, otherwise, do you think we would be able to stay here so comfortably?”
