101: Chapter 45 Intending to Travel Mountains and Rivers [Seeking Votes and Followers]_3 101: Chapter 45 Intending to Travel Mountains and Rivers [Seeking Votes and Followers]_3 Because Ningning Mu was about to complete her Foundation Establishment, her appearance and stature had been fixed last year.
From now on, unless her lifespan was nearly exhausted and her Dao Body began to wither, she could maintain her youthful and beautiful appearance as long as she willed it.
The true “forever eighteen.”
On the flat boat, Li Ping’an thought carefully, continuously turning his head to look at Ningning Mu.
Ningning Mu had now shed the childishness of youth.
She had a pretty melon-seed shaped face and an excellent figure;
Having started the cultivation of the sword path since childhood, when she contained her smile in front of others, she exuded a sharp temperament like that of a well-concealed sword.
Indeed, she was particularly conspicuous.
Ningning Mu felt a slight joy in her heart, thinking that the ‘transparent’ makeup she had meticulously applied for an hour today had been noticed by her senior brother…
it was somewhat embarrassing.
“Junior Sister,” Li Ping’an frowningly communicated telepathically, “how about we set three rules between us?”
Ningning Mu didn’t understand, “What’s wrong, Senior Brother?”
Li Ping’an spoke solemnly, “Although it’s well known among our peers that we get along well, this time we go out with other disciple brothers and sisters, we can’t appear too close.
It isn’t good for your reputation.”
“Hmm,” Ningning Mu nodded lightly, “I’m aware of it, you can be assured, Senior Brother.”
Li Ping’an then asked, “And, can you wear a veil when we go out?”
Ningning Mu did not understand the reason but obediently took out a white gauze and covered her face with it.
This veil was a treasure that every disciple of Caiyun Peak possessed, capable of blocking others from probing.
She asked softly, “Is this okay?”
“Yes,” Li Ping’an smiled and said, “There are always frivolous people in the world, especially some younger disciples whose hearts are not stable.
This way, we can avoid some minor troubles.”
Ningning Mu pursed her lips and laughed softly, communicating telepathically, “If that’s the case, Senior Brother, perhaps you should cover up as well.
It’s not only men who can be frivolous.”
“I have a technique sourced from the Daozang Hall.”
Li Ping’an squinted, smiling, and with a casual gesture executed a hand seal.
His features seemed to be covered by a thin mist, and his presence greatly diminished.
Just a moment ago, he was a handsome and dashing young man, but now he gave off an ‘ordinary’ vibe.
Ningning Mu marveled beside him, and Li Ping’an passed her a Jade Talisman, “This is the Dust Returning Technique that I’ve improved.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Though Ningning Mu said so, she simply stored the Jade Talisman in her Storage Treasure without any intention of cultivating it.
If she were too ordinary, she feared that she might not be able to control the area three feet around her senior brother.
The Mundane Affairs Hall was now in sight.
Ningning Mu contained her smile, adjusted her breath, and stood quietly beside Li Ping’an.
Perhaps because his Primordial Soul had been shattered too many times, Li Ping’an’s Spiritual Sense was far stronger than that of ordinary disciples in the late stages of the Void Refinement Realm.
His Spiritual Sense spread out, and he saw the disciples gathered inside the Mundane Affairs Hall as well as the elders and deacons he was most familiar with.
Li Ping’an mused silently to himself.
Following his master’s order to come here, he would naturally comply to avoid making his master unhappy.
But in his view, going out to compare with disciples from other sects had no practical meaning.
This trip to the shores of the East Sea was purely about accompanying Junior Sister Ningning on a leisurely journey.
Having cultivated in the mountains for five years, it would be rather nice to relax and travel this time.
However, what Li Ping’an did not expect was;
As soon as he stepped into the Mundane Affairs Hall with his left foot, he was appointed by several outer sect elders as the leader of the Wanyun Sect disciples for the inter-sect disciples’ training study.
Because he stepped into the Mundane Affairs Hall with his right foot at just the right time, he was temporarily entrusted by the elders with the authority to supervise the other disciples.
As for the other disciples…
Recalling the scene they had witnessed of the “Ten Thousand Artifact Spirit Explosion,” none of them objected.
Li Ping’an was still slightly confused when Deacon Xinhuai Wang called out:
“Fellow disciples, please wait a moment.
Disciple leader, follow me; the elders have words for you.”
Li Ping’an obediently stepped forward, following behind Deacon Xinhuai Wang toward the inner hall of the Mundane Affairs Hall.
The thirty-seven disciples from the various peaks waited in place, mostly whispering to each other.
Some more active by nature laughed and chatted about amusing stories in a corner.
The Wanyun Sect did not impose many restrictions on its disciples, who were used to acting freely on a daily basis, so no one would be scolded by Immortals for laughing too loudly.
Li Ping’an followed Deacon Xinhuai Wang into an enchantment, circled a few screens, and out of sight of the other disciples.
Behind the screens, several elders were drinking tea with a slightly plump Immortal.
Li Ping’an immediately stepped forward to pay respects, “Greetings to the elders…
Father, what brings you here?”
