Chapter 450 - Sect Leader Position In Trouble (2/2)
Whether or not they were lucky enough to join the western continent in the first place was a different question altogether.
All throughout the outer sect mountain, Alex was the center of attention thanks to his yellow robes.
These disciples knew nothing about him, so they were curious why a Tiger Sect disciple was here in the first place.
Alex smiled and walked past them down to the sect market. Even there he was looked upon by many people. Some even went ahead to tell the elders.
An elder soon came to see what was happening and smiled when he saw it was Alex.
”Martial nephew, you're back,” the elder said.
Alex looked at the elder and his eyes went wide in surprise. ”Martial Uncle, you are back too,” he said.
Alex was quite happy to see Lang Shun back in the sect. ”When did you return?” Alex asked.
”Uhh, a few days ago,” Lang Shun said disappointedly. ”My mission was a failure, so I was quite sad. At least I got happy when I heard you were still alive. That was a relief.”
”Mission?” Alex thought for a second and went, ”Ah, brother Li? I found him,” Alex said.
Lang Shun didn't comprehend what Alex said at first and was going to say ”oh, good for you.”
But once his thinking mind took control and he finally realized what was just said, he immediately ran forward and grabbed Alex's shoulders.
”You found Wan Li?” Lang Shun asked.
”Yeah, I was coincidentally on the same caravan as him and happened to meet him,” Alex said.
Lang Shun looked around and put his arms around Alex before dragging him ahead. ”Let's go talk somewhere quieter,” he said.
”Ah, then let's go to master's place. I can give you two the information at once,” Alex said.
”Uhh, that might be a bad idea,” Lang Shun said.
”Huh? Why?” Alex asked.
”Things in the sect are… delicate right now. Sister is in closed cultivation currently and isn't coming out for anybody. Not even the sect's matters. So the elders are a little concerned and angry towards Sister's actions. Some are even going as far as to say that she needs to be removed from the Sect leader position,” Lang Shun said.
”Master isn't responding? But I thought she talked with Master Wen Cheng a week before,” Alex asked.
”That's the thing. I don't actually think she's in closed cultivation and is actually just faking it. However, that isn't proven yet. So, while the elders are angry, they can't do anything.”
”However, if you were to go meet her and she came out, they will start calling her selfish and might lose their trust in her,” Lang Shun.
”I see, then where should we go?” Alex asked.
”Um, let's just go to the—”
BUZZ BUZZ
Alex's storage bags buzzed and he took out the talisman from inside.
<Come to my place>
That was all that was written in the talisman.
”Master is calling me,” Alex said.
Lang Shun looked a little annoyed. ”Dammit, I knew it. She's not in closed cultivation. So why is she not coming to handle sect matters?” he asked.
Alex thought for a second and asked, ”Umm, have you seen her after she awakened her constitution?”
”Awaken her constitution? Oh right, master said something about that. But what does that have to do with sister not leaving her home?” Lang Shun asked.
”Umm, you should come with me and see,” Alex said.
Lang Shun shrugged his shoulders and agreed. Both him and Alex walked up the mountain and soon came before Ma Rong's house.
”Sister, I've brought nephew with me,” Lang Shun shouted as he walked in. ”God, why is this place so cold? Did she start making ice sculptures or what?” Lang Shun asked.
Alex could feel the tiniest hint of a fear building inside of him when he felt this coldness. 'Did master's body get stronger again?' he asked in surprise.
It was quite easy to find where Ma Rong was. They just had to follow the coldest place in the house and they would reach her.
”What the hell?” Lang Shun shouted when he finally saw Ma Rong. ”Sister, why the hell is there so much ice around you?”
”Oh, you came as well?” Ma Rong said. ”Shut up for a little, I'm trying to concentrate.”
Ma Rong's body was constantly leaking mist that flew down to the ground like what one would see happen on a frozen bottle of liquid.
Lang Shun couldn't comprehend what was happening and looked at Ma Rong with her jaws dropped, while Alex tried to make sure he didn't let the fear get to him.
The mist leaking off of Ma Rong's body started to settle down and stopped forming around her. Soon enough, they completely stopped.
When they did, Alex noticed that his fear had also subsided.
”Sigh, it takes me quite a while to rein in my body's aura. Otherwise, everything around me gets frozen,” Ma Rong said and slowly stood up.
Crackling sounds appeared from all around her as her frozen clothes started snapping as she stood up.
”Sigh, even the clothes freeze. I will need to do something about it all soon,” she said softly.
”So, what's going on? I only called my disciple here. Why did you come along?” Ma Rong asked.
”Oh, that's right,” Lang Shun said as he remembered.. ”Apparently, martial nephew has some information on Wan Li.”
