Chapter 239 The Liuyun Sect

"Today... Well, I haven't shot videos..." Long Yi's spirits suddenly improved. His legs didn't tremble and his voice wasn't cracked and his eyes became sharp as if he had found a good excuse.

Huangfu Yi’s face grew darker immediately and he seemed to get mad, "You didn't shoot?"

Long Yi shuddered and he had to nod. "Bring the tracking team here..."

"Opps! Did Mr. Dragon notice something? He had never summoned anyone else except the generals..." Long Yi thought to himself.

"Actually, I shot..." Even though he didn't admit that, Mr. Dragon would know that if he summoned other team members...

The veins stood out a little bit on Huangfu Yi's forehead and his lips compressed, "Take it to me now!"

Long Yi went out to bring the miniature video camera and connected it to the screen on the wall where Murong Xue appeared suddenly and she met Shangguan Lin at the beginning.

He saw Mr. Dragon's face grow dark obviously. He knew that Mr. Dragon wouldn’t be pleased but this was acceptable. What if he saw what would happen next?

...

Before long, Shangguan Lin and Murong Xue stopped at another teleportation platform. Murong Xue looked around. She found herself like in tropical rainforests where there were many big trees, lush grass, and flowers and even the insects were ten times bigger than average.

"Are we there?" Murong Xue asked.

"Not yet!" Shangguan Lin took out several spiritual stones and started the teleportation formation as he had done before.

They both went into the void again.

After repeating over ten times, they finally stopped at an island in the sky.

"Here we are." Shangguan Lin said and took a step first.

Murong Xue was stunned. Whatever she guessed before, she wouldn't have thought that a cultivation sect would actually stand in the air. How could there be an island in the air? Wasn't it affected by gravity? Not to mention this, it was a miracle that the satellite didn't detect it.

She looked down from the teleportation platform. The trees flourished here, and there was full of spiritual qi. Though it was not as rich as the spiritual qi in the Space, it was much better than the outside world.

Murong Xue looked far away and she could see the place densely populated where pavilions spread everywhere. It looked very prosperous and seemed like another world.

"So it is Aotian Island!" Holding her hand, Shangguan Lin jumped off the platform. Then he said to her after letting go of her hand.

They chatted while walking, but they didn't walk slowly. Murong Xue looked around curiously, finding that most of the people were wearing ancient costumes and a handful of people came back from other places with casual clothes just as Murong Xue did. The buildings looked quaint, which were made with solid wood. It didn't look as cold and fancy as the modern buildings. Only at a glance did Murong Xue fall in love with this place.

There were many shops on both sides of the street. Different from the outside world, except for restaurants and inns, most of them sold products for ascension such as pills, herbs, and weapons.

"It is an island, but actually it's not smaller than a big country." The Tang suit on Shangguan Lin made his figure slenderer. With his white Tang suit fluttering in the breeze, he looked much more handsome.

Murong Xue nodded, but she stared around, considering everything so miraculous.

They walked across the bustling fair to a green hill. A road snaked away into the depth of the hill when Murong Xue couldn’t see its end. On both sides of the road, there were tall ancient trees with green water, which looked thriving. In the distant hill, many buildings could be seen covered in grass and trees. The scene was very harmonious and natural.

There was a huge stone tablet at the foot of the hill inscribed three big and vigorous words ―The Liuyun Sect.

Murong Xue was about to step inside, but Shangguan Lin held her hand. They soared into the air immediately and didn't stop until they flew over more than ten mountains.

Located in the air, Aotian Island was so large and flat like on the ground that people couldn't see its edge at one glance. On the island, hundreds of hills stood out against the sky and every one of them was shrouded in cloud and was set amidst rare herbs and flowers with an enchanting fragrance.

At many peaks of the hills, there were pavilions lying in the clouds. The green water flowed around the lush mountains, turning the mountains into a wonderland where the Liuyun Sect was located.

It was early autumn. The sun shone gaily and sometimes a gentle and cool wind blew in, making people comfortable.

It was on the road of the inner door of the Liuyun Sect.

There was a beautiful woman who looked nearly 23 years old. Her cheek was as pink as a peach blossom and she raised her fox eyes slightly, which looked very charming and attractive.

Her skin was as delicate as snow and her soft and bright black hair was curled behind her head into a beautiful hair flower. And her exquisite pearl hair accessory looked dazzling in the sunshine.

The pretty green bodycon dress she wore was pleated in a gorgeous way with her every step, outlining her beautiful posture, which looked more enchanting.

The man walking towards them not far away was exactly the one Murong Xue had met. His half face was strange. If you ignored this strange side of his face, you would find that the other side of his face was very handsome. He compressed his thin lips, which looked very cold.

Suddenly, the eyes of the woman with an enchanting posture brightened. She made a charming smile and rushed to the man, "Eldest fellow brother, are you going to visit the Chief?"

The man just darted a cold look at her. And then he just nodded without slowing down his steps.

A kind of shame flashed into the woman's beautiful eyes. She thought that she, Liu Jiaxin, was the first beauty of the Liuyun Sect. Everyone meeting her would give her a smile except her senior apprentice-brother Leng Qianqiu whose expression was always cold every time they met. No matter how well she treated him, he was always so cold that nobody dared to get close to him.

Liu Jiaxin got rid of the annoyance in her eyes and made a more charming smile, "I heard our Chief is going to see a girl. Is our Chief going to have a woman disciple?"

"Isn't he? We will know it after seeing him." Leng Qianqiu turned a blind eye to her smile and walked in the air at a faster speed.

Liu Jiaxin could hardly maintain her smile. Staring at Leng Qianqiu who had flown in front of her with his clothing fluttering and his hair flying, she cursed in her mind. She was his junior apprentice-sister from the same sect, but he didn't care about her feelings at all. Though they weren't taught by the same master, they were disciples of the Chief’s senior apprentice-brother and junior apprentice-brother, so they were supposed to be more intimate than other people.

In addition, what exactly was the strange woman's background? Unexpectedly, the Chief was about to meet her. Liu Jiaxin recalled when she was about to join the sect, she was gifted and intelligent. But when she showed her willingness to be a disciple of the Chief, he just refused her with an excuse that he was busy.

The Chief, Liu Huang, had governed the Liuyun Sect for nearly a thousand years. In the past thousand years, only two people, Leng Qianqiu and Shangguan Lin who joined the sect decades ago, had been accepted as his senior disciple and junior disciple. Since then, no matter how brilliant people he met were, he never thought about accepting one more disciple.

Liu Jiaxin joined the Liuyun Sect a decade ago. At that time, she stood out among the people who got prepared for joining the sect. She performed very well and she thought herself an exception of the Chief. But it turned out that she had no choice but to be a disciple of Liu Feng, the junior apprentice-brother of the Chief.

This time the Chief was about to meet a woman who was said to come from the secular world. She wouldn't believe that a person from that place had a better aptitude than her.

A cold look flashed through Liu Jiaxin's eyes, and she sped up flying to the main peak where the Chief stayed.

Both of them flew fast and arrived at the main peak instantly.

In the main peak, people were not allowed to fly with spiritual power. Therefore, Leng Qianqiu and Liu Jiaxin stopped and withdrew the spiritual power around them. Then they started to mount slowly the magnificent forty-nine steps made with white jade.

"Master!"

"Chief!"

Having climbed all the steps and reached the main hall of the Chief's house, Leng Qianqiu and Liu Jiaxin greeted the man who sat on the main seat of the hall with a cold expression. They didn’t dare to show any disrespect.

"Since you are here, now I'll introduce a person to you. Murong Xue is your junior apprentice-sister henceforth." The Chief's cold voice sounded and he spoke indifferently.

Shangguan Lin and Murong Xue looked calm because the Chief Liu Huang had told them. They had thought it was just a meeting, but it turned out that Liu Huang was ready to accept Murong Xue as his own disciple.

But Murong Xue felt kind of strange on her face. She didn't expect to see the man so fast and he was her senior apprentice-brother. Actually, when they first met, they didn't get on well and they even hated each other a little bit, but it turned out that he should be her senior apprentice-brother.

Leng Qianqiu and Liu Jiaxin looked up at Murong Xue whom the Chief introduced to them and some inexplicable emotions flashed in both of their eyes.

"You are my junior apprentice-sister. I just got bored and I feel so happy that there is going to be a girl at my age in our sect. " Hiding the emotions in her eyes, Liu Jiaxin said with a smile.

Holding the opinion that it was not suitable to make enemies when she was new here, Murong Xue made a brilliant smile, "Well, as a junior apprentice-sister, I'll thank my elder fellow sister here first."

Perhaps, because her smile was too bright, Murong Xue's face lit up suddenly, and it was even a little bit harsh.

"Does my fellow sister find anywhere to live in? I'm the only one living in Mount Qingyun. Why don't you come and live in Mount Qingyun with me?" Liu Jiaxin said with a more charming smile, but there wasn't any pleasure in her eyes.

"Elder fellow sister, although I also want to live next to you, my master just told me to find a residence in Mount Liuyun." Murong Xue refused her in a polite manner.

With her smile paused for a short time, Liu Jiaxin asked, "Are you gonna live in Mount Liuyun?"

"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Murong Xue asked her.

"Mount Liuyun is the main mountain where the Chief and his fellows lived. You are the Chief's disciple, so there's nothing wrong to live there." But Leng Qianqiu and Shangguan Lin also lived there. In the beginning, Liu Jiaxin wanted to live there, but Leng Qianqiu refused her on the grounds that people taught by different masters should live in different mountains.

Thinking of that, Liu Jiaxin was annoyed. Everyone knew that the location of Mount Liuyun was the best where there was a magical spring full of spiritual qi. Therefore, Mount Liuyun was also the one with the most abundant spiritual qi of all the mountains.

Thanks to the magical spring, it was easier to yield twice the result with half the effort during cultivation. The disciples from other mountains were not allowed to go to Mount Liuyun without permission. They were asked to have the permission of the Chief or the disciples from Mount Liuyun. Otherwise, they would only wait for the magical spring, which was allocated in a certain amount every day by the staff of the Internal Affairs Office. However, it was quite different from the treatment of the disciples from Mount Liuyun who could use magical spring as much as they liked.

So even Liu Jiaxin couldn't help controlling her facial expression just now. Murong Xue was obviously at the third stage of orange-level, but how could she be valued by the Chief? She couldn't understand that, and she also felt a kind of resentment for the unfair treatment.

Suddenly, Liu Jiaxin felt a chill coming from above. She froze and withdrew the complicated emotions in her eyes. Then she looked up and saw a pair of cold eyes as if they had seen through everything. D*mn it! She just had forgotten that the Chief was still here and her heart twisted. Then she said with a gentler smile, "Chief, this fellow sister is so cute and she looks like a talent!"

The Chief said indifferently, "Yes, she truly is. But she is too young and joined our sect late, so you, as her elder fellow brothers and sister, should take good care of her."

Liu Jiaxin, who was good at guessing people's thoughts from their words and expressions, replied immediately, "Of course!" Then she turned to Murong Xue and said, "My fellow sister, if you don't know something during cultivation in the future, come and ask me! It's my pleasure."

Murong Xue was not an idiot, and she saw clearly Liu Jiaxin's unnatural face just now. But she didn't show any expression on her face, "Then I thank you first now, my elder fellow sister."

Liu Jiaxin said coyly instantly, "We're the disciples from the same sect. Don't say 'thank you' to me."

Liu Jiaxin's expressions were posed well and her attitude seemed normal. If Murong Xue hadn't seen Liu Jiaxin's cold eyes, perhaps she would have thought of her as a great senior apprentice-sister who would be easy to get on well with.
