The two of them continued to talk and negotiate. Ling Chuxi and the rest instantly understood that these people had taken a fancy to the Golden Pill Sect’s former site and wanted to dominate this place to rebuild their sect.
Ling Chuxi and Su Yizhi exchanged glances, and Ling Chuxi saw the burning anger in Su Yizhi’s eyes. Of course he was angry—Su Yizhi had been longing to rebuild the Golden Pill Sect, but before they could even enter it, there were others coveting their territory.
The two strangers continued to speak.
“Your Jade Pool Sect is not that bad either. Wasn’t the original location quite good? Why did you all want to find another place to rebuild the sect?” The person called Great Master Quan asked curiously.
“Ahh, don’t bring it up. Our Jade Pool Sect was surrounded by clear springs and a pleasant environment, but some time ago, the clear springs became like sewers, disgusting and stinking horribly. The smell was enough to make you faint! We felt that the former site of this Golden Pill Sect was not bad, so we decided to move here,” the first man explained mournfully.
“Oh, that’s truly unfortunate. Well, just move on and go with the flow. I will surely figure out the mechanism for you.” Great Master Quan seemed to be patting his chest proudly.
“That… Many thanks, Great Master Quan.” The person said through gritted teeth, obviously not happy at being asked to ‘just move on’. Unfortunately, he had asked for Great Master Quan’s help, so he could only quietly hold in his dissatisfaction.
After hearing their conversation, some of the Su family disciples looked like they wanted to go and fight with these strangers. Ling Chuxi raised her hand to stop the group, silently implying that they should not be reckless, and think before acting. The group of people quietened down, looking at the entrance of the road in frustration.
Soon, a group of people dressed in the same garb appeared before them. Of the two men who were leading the group, one seemed to be in his thirties and was dressed in a white gown, walking with his nose pointed to the sky as if he was an esteemed expert. This person was probably the Great Master Quan. It was a pity that he was as skinny as a twig, and when the wind blew, the gown on his body practically flew off. The corner of Ling Chuxi’s lips twitched. His acting was really bad! Even Jiang Wuhen could act better than him. The other man looked to be in his forties, and his clothes were more lavish than those behind him. He probably had quite a high position in that Jade Pool Sect.
The group of strangers approached and were stunned when they saw Ling Chuxi and the others. From what they could tell, this place should be deserted.
“This humble one is the Sect Master of the Jade Pool Sect, Yu Daoni. What might you all be at my sect for?” The middle-aged man stepped forward and pretended to cup his fist to his hand as he asked.
The man was truly talented! Ling Chuxi now saw him from a different perspective. They had just been discussing how to make the former site of Golden Pill Sect theirs, but when he saw them here, he actually acted as if he was the owner. Obviously, he was afraid that they were here to snatch the territory.
“You —!” Su Xiu’er could not stand such a thick-skinned person and immediately started to snarl.
However, Ling Chuxi interrupted her swiftly with a smile: “Aiyaya, what is this? How fortunate! Meeting you(1), what a good name. Naturally, I have heard of Sect Master’s great name.” Such a stupid name, Ling Chuxi silently laughed.
“Haha, really? Young lady, you have good judgement!” Yu Daoni started laughing loudly, proud at being adored by such a beautiful young lady.
(1) Yu Daoni – In Chinese, Yu is Jade, so his family name is also the first word of the Sect name. Additionally, Yu Daoni is a homophone of ‘meeting you’
