Yun Yun: Let Us Welcome... Elder Wu!

Misty Cloud Sect.

"Sect Master, there is a Dou Huang expert outside seeking an audience with our sect, accompanied by his disciple." Yun Leng hurried over to report this matter to Yun Yun.

"A Dou Huang expert? Who is it?" Yun Yun immediately perked up as well.

When had the Jia Ma Empire produced another Dou Huang expert?

"That Dou Huang expert calls himself Wu Changqing."

???

Senior Sword Spirit?

What was he doing?

Yun Yun arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect's mountain gate with a face full of question marks.

The visitor was indeed Wu Changqing, with a young and beautiful girl standing beside him.

Quite a few of the Misty Cloud Sect's elders had come personally. After all, the other party was a Dou Huang expert, and they did not dare neglect him.

"This young lady is so beautiful and graceful, with such an elegant temperament. You must be the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Wu Changqing looked at Yun Yun and revealed a warm smile.

Yun Yun's lips twitched.

She truly was not used to Wu Changqing speaking to her in that tone... it was giving her goosebumps.

What on earth was this guy doing?!

And what was with the girl beside him??

After obtaining the Purple Spirit Crystal in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Wu Changqing had told her that he had something to deal with and would not let her accompany him.

With no other choice, Yun Yun could only return first.

Yet now, Wu Changqing was pulling this stunt on her.

Playing pretend??

If the other elders of the Misty Cloud Sect had known Wu Changqing, Yun Yun would have exposed him on the spot!

But with so many people present, she could only cooperate and keep acting.

"That is correct. I am the current sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun. May I ask what business you have with our Misty Cloud Sect, sir?"

"I was originally a reclusive cultivator and did not enjoy involving myself in worldly affairs."

"But due to certain mishaps, my disciple and I were left homeless. I heard that the Misty Cloud Sect is the strongest sect in the Jia Ma Empire, so I came here specifically in the hope of joining your Misty Cloud Sect," Wu Changqing said.

Join... You were originally part of the Misty Cloud Sect!

Yun Yun was afraid she would lose her composure and give herself away at any moment.

"Since you are willing to join our Misty Cloud Sect, senior, we naturally welcome you warmly. Please follow me."

Yun Yun personally led the way and formally brought Wu Changqing and Little Fairy Doctor into the sect's main hall.

"Senior, if you are willing to join our Misty Cloud Sect, we can offer you the position of elder. What do you think?"

Without even waiting for Wu Changqing to state his conditions, Yun Yun took the initiative to speak.

Because she only wanted to end this farce as quickly as possible.

Yun Leng, however, felt that something was amiss.

"Sect Master, isn't this too rash? We have not even investigated his true identity yet."

Even disciples had to be investigated before joining, let alone appointing an elder.

This was no laughing matter!

"Mhm, I know."

"Even if he is a Dou Huang expert, shouldn't we at least get to know him for a few days before making a decision?"

"I know."

"I think we should discuss this with the former sect master as well."

"Do you have any more questions?" Yun Yun asked.

Yun Leng froze for a moment, then shook his head. "No."

Yun Yun then turned back to Wu Changqing. "Senior, do you have any requests?"

"I can be an elder, but my disciple must also be allowed to remain in the Misty Cloud Sect."

"No problem." Yun Yun agreed without hesitation.

"Then I have no objections either."

"Fine. Then, as the current sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, I hereby announce that from today onward, Senior Wu Changqing shall be an elder of our Misty Cloud Sect!"

Yun Yun practically could not wait to announce the final result.

Yun Leng, standing nearby, was utterly dumbfounded.

So after saying all that and raising so many doubts, not a single word had gotten through to Yun Yun??!

"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and greet Elder Wu!" Yun Yun added.

Only then did the others in the hall hurriedly react.

"Greetings, Elder Wu!"

"Alright, remember to get along well from now on. Elder Wu, I will take you to arrange your residence." Yun Yun said.

"Alright."

And so, Wu Changqing and Little Fairy Doctor left the sect's main hall with Yun Yun.

Leaving everyone else completely stunned.

Wait, just like that, the sect had gained another elder?

Why did it feel even easier than the entrance examination??

Many elders still remembered the harsh conditions and assessments they had undergone to become elders.

Now, Wu Changqing had received Yun Yun's personal interview, said a few casual words, and become an elder.

Although he was a Dou Huang expert, quite a few sect elders still felt... somewhat neglected.

"Elder Wu, you and your disciple can live in this courtyard from now on. My room is in the courtyard next door, so you can come find me whenever you need anything." Yun Yun brought Wu Changqing and Little Fairy Doctor to a spacious courtyard.

There were several rooms here, all of which were now theirs.

Ordinary elders did not receive such favorable treatment.

Even Yun Leng lived in the same courtyard as the other elders.

"Alright, thank you, Sect Master."

"By the way, I still do not know the name of Elder Wu's disciple."

Little Fairy Doctor was also very sensible and hurriedly greeted her. "This disciple is Little Fairy Doctor. Greetings, Sect Master."

"Little Fairy Doctor. Not a bad name." Yun Yun nodded.

"Elder Wu, let Xian'er stay and tidy up. Come with me first."

"Alright. Xian'er, help me tidy up whichever room I'll be staying in, then choose any room for yourself."

After giving Little Fairy Doctor those instructions, Wu Changqing followed Yun Yun away.

Yun Yun's bedchamber.

The moment they entered and closed the door, Yun Yun finally could not hold back her question.

"Senior Sword Spirit, what exactly are you doing?"

"Sect Master Yun, I am not quite sure what you mean." Wu Changqing pretended not to understand.

"You're still going to keep acting?!" Yun Yun glared at him.

"Ahem... your acting was pretty good too. At first, I thought you would give yourself away immediately." Wu Changqing stopped pretending.

"You have the nerve to say that... At the mountain gate just now, I almost couldn't stop myself from laughing!"

It felt like someone she knew well was seriously putting on an act while they both had to pretend not to know each other. It was so strange!

"Hurry up and explain."

"Simply put, I can take human form now. Sooner or later, I will have to appear before everyone. I cannot keep hiding forever, can I?"

"If I suddenly appeared from your room one day, people would only think you had secretly hidden some wild man away and accuse you of keeping a lover in a golden house."

"What do you mean, keeping a lover in a golden house..." Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him.

A secretly hidden wild man... Was that something he could just say so casually?

"Don't interrupt. So I decided to appear in your Misty Cloud Sect this way, and then I could stay openly and aboveboard as well," Wu Changqing said.

Yun Yun nodded. "This method is indeed not bad. It can directly give Senior an identity."

Although she had been somewhat surprised at first.

Now that the entire process had played out, she still greatly admired Wu Changqing's idea.

But that was not what concerned her most.

"What is going on with that Little Fairy Doctor?"
