321 Why Didn’t He Come?
The two Senior Brothers did not come. Dong Xi took out her communication jade slip and sent a message in the group chat.
[Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, why aren’t you two here?]
However, after staring for a long time, no one in the group replied. After 15 minutes, Liang Yan rode on his sword and landed on the stage.
Liang Yan’s long sword had an extra tassel. He was too lazy, as if he did not care about this competition at all.
Liang Yan waited on the stage for two hours, but Song Qingfeng did not appear.
The surrounding crowd started discussing. Dong Xi sent a few messages to Song Qingfeng using her communication jade slip, but there was no response.
Dong Xi even thought that Second Senior Brother might not have woken up yet.
Just as Dong Xi was about to turn around and leave to look for Second Senior Brother…
Master Xuan Chen suddenly appeared on the stage.
Liang Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Xuan Chen said, “I’ll get someone to look for Fellow Daoist Song Qingfeng.”
“No need, Song Qingfeng won’t come,” Liang Yan said.
Xuan Chen frowned. Liang Yan continued, “At this point, Song Qingfeng probably isn’t here anymore.”
Song Qingfeng came to the competition because he wanted to go to the mortal world. He did not care about the ranking at all.
Master Xuan Chen still sent people to Song Qingfeng’s meditation room to look for him. As expected, there was no one there.
Only then did Master Xuan Chen announce that the first place was Liang Yan.
Liang Yan also did not care about the ranking. It seemed that the Sect Master had chatted with Liang Yan for the entire night.
Liang Yan had to get first place this time. Otherwise, the Ningtian Sect would be suppressed by the Green Cloud Sect for decades.
…
On the way back to the sect, everyone still took the airship they came in. However, Second Senior Brother, who was supposed to be next door to Dong Xi, was replaced by someone else.
Dong Xi secretly asked Eldest Senior Brother about it, wanting to know why Second Senior Brother insisted on going to the mortal world.
Liang Yan did not say anything. He only said that Dong Xi was still young and should not care about adults’ matters.
Dong X, “…”
Dong Xi felt that Eldest Senior Brother’s words were too perfunctory.
On the second day of their journey back, Dong Xi received a message from Second Brother.
[Little Junior Sister, are you guys heading back?]
When Dong Xi saw the message, she sent a voice message excitedly. She said, “Second Senior Brother, where did you go?”
Song Qingfeng also replied, “Hehe, now that I’m not there, you start to miss me, right? I went to do something big!”
“What is it?” Dong Xi asked doubtfully.
“Children shouldn’t pry into adult matters,” Song Qingfeng said perfunctorily.
Dong Xi, “…”
If he did not allow anyone to inquire about it, then why did he even say it? Now that he had said it, he still did not allow anyone to inquire about it.
Seemingly noticing Dong Xi’s speechlessness, Song Qingfeng smiled and said, “Little Junior Sister, I’m going to the mortal world. When I come back, I hope you’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.”
“What? You’re going to be gone for so long?” Dong Xi shouted in shock.
Dong Xi did not know what Second Senior Brother was going to do, but with his Golden Core cultivation base and his body full of treasures, he was an existence that could overturn the clouds and rain in the mortal world.
But why did it take so long? Was Second Senior Brother’s matter very troublesome?
Song Qingfeng sent another voice message. He said, “Perhaps it won’t be too long. You should cultivate well. Oh right, I got someone to send something to your cave abode.”
When Dong Xi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She said, “What is it?”
“You’ll know when we get back,” said Song Qingfeng.
Song Qingfeng did not reply after he said that.
Dong Xi was not sure if the ‘signal’ of the jade slip was only available in the cultivation world, and there would be no connection after leaving the cultivation world.
Dong Xi started to circulate the cultivation technique in her body. Her right eyelid twitched a few times as she frowned.
Dong Xi suddenly felt uneasy. What was Second Senior Brother going to do?
This question was hidden in Dong Xi’s heart. When she returned to the sect, her Eldest Senior Brother and Master Yi Kun went to report to Sect Master Wei Nan. Dong Xi then went straight to her Master’s cave.
“Master, I’m back! Open the door!” Dong Xi shouted.
Dong Xi raised her hand and patted the stone door.
Daoist Master Lingxu had already calculated that Dong Xi and the others would return in the next two days and had been waiting.
Upon hearing Dong Xi’s shout, Master Lingxu immediately stood up and deactivated the restriction.
“Little Xi, you always make such a big commotion every time you come over,” said Daoist Master Lingxu.
It sounded a little disdainful, but Lingxu indeed had a smile on his face, as if he enjoyed it.
Although Master Lingxu did not go, he heard that the three disciples performed well this time. He was very proud of them.
There was no need to mention Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng, but this little disciple actually entered the top 100. The 7th level of Qi Refinement entered the top 100, which made Lingxu very surprised.
Furthermore, everyone said that the biggest winner of this inter-sect competition was Dong Xi. Although her ranking was not too good, she was the only one who had gained an Epiphany.
