Chapter 31 Out of place
Chapter 31 Out of place
"Hey, isn't that Senior Sister Wei Qiushuang? What's she doing here, a closed-door disciple?"
"Look at what you're saying, can't a closed-door disciple come here?"
"This is the main peak square, anyone can come here."
"that is……"
Among a group of passersby, Liu Xingxing spotted Lu Xihan and another person.
It's better to be lucky than early; she came specifically for this one scene.
In the novel, this scene marks Lu Xihan's first appearance amidst a two-month-long "scandal" scandal. She is accompanied by the genius alchemist Yu Yunyang, and the two interact quite familiarly.
Although Yu Yunyang narrowly lost in the inner sect competition, he is the male god in the hearts of many girls. Now, someone with a lot of scandals and unpleasant "scandals" has actually been "in the same frame" with their male god. This is bound to be met with criticism from all sides.
Wei Qiushuang was also made a rather inappropriate remark, which led to Lu Xihan's smugness backfiring on the spot, and the plot began to enter a slightly high-energy phase.
Most people present began to side with him, but in Lu Xihan's words, "this is just the beginning."
Liu Xingxing was excited just thinking about it and eagerly awaited the start of the show.
Since returning to the sect, the news of the collapse of the Shangyuan Secret Realm has spread far and wide. Just because he was the last one to come out, people started spreading all sorts of rumors, and the executive elders of the Xuanshan Sect took turns questioning him.
Although Lu Xihan had a premonition that this matter was somewhat related to her, she was still annoyed by being watched like a monkey every day and having to deal with those little troubles that came her way from time to time, which made her cultivation work postponed again and again.
Yu Yunyang is another one. Lu Xihan had only been back from the secret realm for a few days when she let Xiaobai out for some fresh air. But Xiaobai disappeared in a flash. At that time, Lu Xihan hadn't figured out how to use contracts yet. All her knowledge came from that book and what she had seen and heard over the past few months.
As an outer disciple, she could only enter the first floor of the sect's library at most. The first floor mainly contained basic introductory books. Lu Xihan had never thought of forming a contracted beast, so she had no idea that contracted beasts could be summoned back by their masters at any time.
However, her little white dog is quite special; the contractual spirit has no binding effect on it.
When Lu Xihan went to find Xiaobai, he ended up at Yu Yunyang's territory, which he called a "secret base." Lu Xihan saw that Yu Yunyang looked distraught and went to comfort him. As a result, Yu Yunyang became obsessed with him.
The thought that this person was one of the "female lead's" harem members and what he did to the original owner in the original work made Lu Xihan feel disgusted.
Everything is still possible, and Yu Yunyang hasn't yet become a twisted psychopath due to love. Thinking of this, Lu Xihan felt a little relieved.
And then, this is what Liu Xingxing sees now. Although the two of them still bicker from time to time, they are quite familiar with each other.
Today was the day when Xuanshan Sect would distribute the monthly allowances to its disciples. In return, the sect would regularly send out some missions to give back to the sect.
Outer disciples receive twenty low-grade spirit stones and two doses of unranked medicinal powders each month. In addition to the necessary basic tasks, they can also take on some bounty missions of all kinds. Disciples do not have this benefit, and they are not even qualified to enter some places that provide cultivation.
Then there are the inner disciples. The cultivation resources for inner disciples are even more than those for outer disciples. If they are chosen by an elder or master to become a closed-door disciple, they can easily produce spiritual weapons and cultivation techniques.
Lu Xihan came here today specifically for this customary gift, but she ran into Yu Yunyang on the way and they came together.
Three months ago, during the inner sect competition, Lu Xihan should have become an inner sect disciple. However, the elders raised all sorts of doubts and caused a lot of trouble, and there has been no result to this day.
So Lu Xihan's current situation is extremely awkward, but she is incredibly confident and does whatever she wants, while also dealing with a few treacherous people who tried to sabotage her.
All the experiences are merely a stepping stone for the protagonist to hone his skills and drive the plot forward. And now, the good show that's about to unfold will be witnessed by some old immortal who has just emerged from seclusion, and he takes a liking to Lu Xihan and wants to take her as his disciple.
Yes, a very typical plot.
"Hiss, what's that old geezer's name again?"
Liu Xingxing murmured to herself, her eyes shining with excitement as she looked at the three people she was about to meet.
"Hey, isn't that Lu Xihan? Why is she walking with Senior Brother Yu?"
"Oh right, when did she become so familiar with Senior Brother Yu?"
"Hmph, look at that foxy face of hers, Senior Brother Yu has probably been bewitched by her!"
"Exactly, she doesn't deserve it! I heard that Lu Xihan..."
"And there's more..."
The murmurs around them grew louder and louder, with no intention of hiding them, as if they were talking specifically for others to hear.
Lu Xihan had no intention of paying attention to these idle gossips, but Yu Yunyang couldn't stand it any longer and glared at him.
"Who I make friends with is my business, what's it to you!"
The two junior sisters who were shouted at were momentarily speechless. They looked at each other, feeling somewhat aggrieved, but they were still muttering to themselves.
"Aren't we just speaking up for you, Senior Brother Yu...?"
"that is……"
"Senior Brother Yu, they just meant well. They were just reminding you to be careful when making friends."
Wei Qiushuang, who had been silent all along, interjected and gave the two junior sisters a comforting look. The two girls moved closer to Wei Qiushuang in gratitude.
"Wei Qiushuang?"
Yu Yunyang glanced at her, then, remembering her relationship with Su Jiangling, his face darkened even more: "What does it have to do with you..."
"scoff~"
Before he could finish speaking, the person next to him scoffed, and Yu Yunyang looked at her, puzzled.
Everyone present was a cultivator, so even the softest voice could be heard, and they all turned to look at that person.
Lu Xihan took a step forward unhurriedly and looked at Wei Qiushuang with a calm expression: "Senior Sister Wei, have you ever heard the saying, 'One should not comment without knowing the whole story'? According to what you just said, are you implying that I am of bad character?"
"I am only..."
Lu Xihan wasn't going to give her a chance to speak: "Also, you just follow the crowd because others say a few rumors? Be careful who you befriend. You're not trying to say that Senior Brother Yu has bad taste, are you?"
"Besides, even if I did something wrong in the past, can't a person change? Can't I be more motivated now?"
"Whether the secret realm has anything to do with me is another matter. My relationship with Senior Brother Yu is just that of ordinary friends and fellow disciples. Does that mean that every woman who appears by his side is bad in your eyes? You can't stand Senior Brother Yu making friends with women?"
The last two sentences were spoken while looking at the two junior female students.
"you!"
"That's not what we meant..."
Another junior sister tugged at her friend's arm and glared at her.
Wei Qiushuang frowned, but had not yet spoken.
"Oh, what a sharp tongue! Who's bullying our junior sister?"
The crowd immediately parted to make way, and Chai Yuan walked over unhurriedly, carrying his greatsword and a blade of grass in his mouth. His fine dark red embroidered robes were not dressed in a formal or serious manner, making him look exactly like a young swordsman, like an ordinary person rather than a disciple of a celestial being.
Closed-door disciples have the right to choose what they wear, while ordinary inner and outer disciples can only wear the sect's uniform.
Chai Yuan walked up to Wei Qiushuang and stood there, exuding a powerful aura.
This person's appearance caused quite a stir. Chai Yuan was not bad-looking either, and was similar to Yu Yunyang, except that he looked more mature and had a roguish air about him. He was quite outstanding in the crowd.
Chai Yuan glanced at Lu Xihan, then looked at Yu Yunyang and said in a light tone, "Oh, who do we have here? It's Junior Brother Yu..."
The words "junior brother" were emphasized.
Yu Yunyang became even more annoyed and said in a very unfriendly tone, "Chai Yuan, why are you running around being a gossip instead of practicing your sword?"
"Pfft..."
Dude, you've got some skills when you open your mouth.
Liu Xingxing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
All four eyes swept over at the same time, and the scene fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
Liu Xingxing's smile froze on her face, and she almost burst into laughter from embarrassment.
"You continue, you continue."
People around her cast strange glances, and Liu Xingxing awkwardly clasped her hands together.
It was just a smile, what's the big deal!
"Um, should I go first?"
Liu Xingxing's feet were itching to move.
"and many more!"
Yu Yunyang spoke first.
"This junior sister looks unfamiliar. Which peak are you from?" Wei Qiushuang asked gently.
No, she just smiled, so why did the focus suddenly shift to her?
She's not the main character today.
“I…I’m new here this year, and I live on Mount Danzhu.”
Danzhu Peak also belongs to the Danxiu lineage, but it is not as famous as Yaoyuan Peak, and is even unknown.
