“What are you doing here?”
Seeing Ye Qianqian, Wan Yunting was a little surprised, but then he thought, her appearance was within his expectations.
Ye Qianqian was wearing a red mini-skirt, revealing a pair of fair and long beautiful legs, paired with red knee-high boots. Her braided hairstyle showcased her outstanding looks, though in terms of beauty, she was naturally inferior to Zhou Ruoxi.
“Is she Zhou Ruoxi?”
As Ye Qianqian entered, a handsome young man named Chang Zitong was beside her. His eyes unpleasantly scrutinized Wan Yunting.
Zhou Ruoxi remained expressionless, her autumn eyes also looking at Ye Qianqian. She knew that her biological mother, Yin Baisu, had a goddaughter!
Ye Qianqian approached with a smile and said to Zhou Ruoxi, “Speaking of which, should I call you sister?”
Zhou Ruoxi did not reply. She had only heard her biological mother mention Ye Qianqian, and this was the first time they met, so they were strangers.
“You have sharp ears, finding your way all the way here.” Wan Yunting chuckled.
Ye Qianqian glanced at him sideways, a mischievous smile on her lips. “It’s not just us; the major sects are all outside!”
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, then asked, “So you’ve come, wanting to ask about your Demonic Cult’s Demonic Pool again?”
“Otherwise?”
Chang Zitong, the young man following Ye Qianqian, spoke up, his tone chillingly saying, “I advise you to tell me the exact location of the Demonic Pool, or else…”
“Or what?”
Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes and stared directly at him, asking with a half-smile.
Chang Zitong’s expression changed, and his heart trembled. He felt an invisible force like a mountain flood surging towards him, heavily pressing on his heart. He froze on the spot, unable to move.
“Zitong, don’t be rude.”
Ye Qianqian turned and glared at Chang Zitong before stepping in front of him. She smiled at Wan Yunting, saying, “If you don’t tell me the whereabouts of the Demonic Pool, are you really going to tell the Wudang Sect?”
Wan Yunting looked at her and chuckled, “I told you, I don’t know the whereabouts of your Demonic Cult’s Demonic Pool.”
“Then why are you still here?” Ye Qianqian asked.
Wan Yunting smiled, “I’m going to Gongge’er Mountain Peak to find the Celestial Snow Lotus!”
“An excuse!” Ye Qianqian scoffed.
Wan Yunting smiled, “Believe it or not, I don’t know anyway.”
“Sect Leader…” Chang Zitong, having recovered, couldn’t help but feel anxious. Ye Qianqian glared at him, and Chang Zitong quieted down.
Wan Yunting smiled, “You should leave quickly, or once the people from the major sects arrive, you won’t be able to leave.”
Ye Qianqian narrowed her eyes, then looked at Zhou Ruoxi and smiled, “Sister, for the sake of our sisterhood, why don’t you tell me the whereabouts of the Demonic Pool?”
Zhou Ruoxi remained expressionless, continuing to eat the roasted naan with Chen Qiuyun, and said nothing.
This made Ye Qianqian raise an eyebrow. “If you tell me the whereabouts of the Demonic Pool, I’m willing to give you the position of Sect Leader, how about that?”
Zhou Ruoxi finally spoke, her voice very calm, “Not interested!”
“You…”
These words angered Ye Qianqian. Gritting her teeth, she said, “You are Mother’s biological daughter, so you are also one of us from the Demonic Cult. Are you really going to watch our Demonic Cult continue to decline like this?”
But Zhou Ruoxi said calmly, “Although I am her daughter, I am not one of your Demonic Cult. Moreover, I don’t know the whereabouts of your Demonic Cult’s Demonic Pool at all!”
“Impossible, Mother was with you in the end, she must have told you the location of the Demonic Pool.” Ye Qianqian huffed.
Zhou Ruoxi turned her head, her autumn eyes coldly glancing at her, “I said I don’t know, and I don’t know!”
Ye Qianqian’s eyes widened, and she stared at Zhou Ruoxi for more than ten seconds. Finally, she gritted her teeth and snorted, “Fine, we will follow you. Let’s see if you are really going to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus!”
“Let’s go…”
With that said, Ye Qianqian led Chang Zitong and the others away.
Zhou Ruoxi raised an eyebrow and looked at Wan Yunting with concern, saying, “It seems that people from all the major sects have gathered here and are targeting us!”
“Heh heh…”
Wan Yunting smiled, “They have been watching me since I left the capital and came to Xinjiang.”
“Mm, and also the Heavenly Eye Divine Religion. Their Divine Lord is probably coming in person!”
This made Zhou Ruoxi even more worried. Even Chen Qiuyun raised an eyebrow, but she said nothing.
“Then what are your plans now?”
Zhou Ruoxi knew that the man must have a plan and wouldn’t face the people from the major sects and the Heavenly Eye Divine Religion so directly!
“I have my own arrangements!”
Wan Yunting smiled mysteriously and handed roasted lamb ribs to Zhou Ruoxi and Chen Qiuyun to eat…
“By the way, there’s been another change in the Emei Sect!”
Suddenly, Zhou Ruoxi changed the subject and said, “After Junior Aunt Jinyu returned to the Emei Sect, she helped Junior Aunt Yunbai deal with Guo Yu and successfully forced Guo Yu to step down from the position of sect leader!”
“Oh, I see.” Wan Yunting was surprised.
It turned out that in just one week, the Emei Sect had experienced consecutive changes.
Abbess Jinyu returned to the Emei Sect and assisted Abbess Yunbai. The two of them joined forces to deal with Guo Yu.
Abbess Jinyu, under the guise of a martial arts competition, forced Guo Yu to abdicate, allowing Abbess Yunbai to succeed her as the sect leader.
This was because the Emei Sect had a rule that if the sect encountered special circumstances, the position of sect leader could be decided through a martial arts competition.
Abbess Jinyu’s current martial arts realm had reached the Gang Jin Neigang realm, naturally, Guo Yu was no match for her.
Moreover, Abbess Jinyu also had extremely high prestige within the sect. Even though she usually did not concern herself with sect affairs, she was an idol to the Emei Sect disciples.
Furthermore, recently, Guo Yu, in order to please the major sects, had even exchanged many Emei Sect martial arts manuals. This made many young disciples realize the situation and they unanimously switched their support to Abbess Yunbai.
“That’s excellent.”
Hearing that Abbess Yunbai was to become the new sect leader of the Emei Sect, Wan Yunting was naturally pleased.
“Yes.”
Zhou Ruoxi was also happy. Although she could no longer return to the Emei Sect, she had grown up there and had deep feelings for the sect. Naturally, she hoped that Abbess Yunbai would take over as sect leader, allowing the Emei Sect to continue its lineage…
At this moment, the Emei Sect had not yet formally appointed Abbess Yunbai as the sect leader, but she had already taken control of the entire sect.
“Junior Sister, are you sure you want to go find him?”
Abbess Yunbai, dressed in a grey Taoist robe, appeared in the peach blossom forest behind the mountain. She looked at her junior sister, Abbess Jinyu, who was sitting in a pavilion sipping tea. Abbess Jinyu was dressed in a white Taoist robe, exuding an elegant aura and breathtaking beauty. Her eyes, free from any impurities, were deep and captivating as she gazed at the fish feeding in the stream…
“Yes, now that you have taken over the sect, I can rest assured.” Abbess Jinyu said slowly.
Abbess Yunbai raised an eyebrow. Although she was reluctant, she respected Abbess Jinyu’s choice.
After all, she knew her junior sister’s personality very well, and she wouldn’t stay to manage the sect’s affairs with her.
Abbess Jinyu pursued a life of freedom and ease…
