From now on, this will be my entertainment whenever I'm bored!
That thought echoed back and forth in the Fifth Elder's mind, and he nearly fainted.
If Lan Yue played that video every now and then, how could he ever show his old face again?
And what in the world was that meme?!
The Fifth Elder trembled for ages, nearly pulling out his beard.
[Lan Yue: I'm dying of laughter. No wonder the kitty went to sleep with the disciples and refused to have anything to do with the Fifth Elder. So it was a grudge over dried fish!]
[Lan Yue: The poor Fifth Elder got clawed and still had to squat outside late at night, keeping a longing watch. I should take a screenshot of this scene too. What should I call this meme?]
Lan Yue sat on the Spirit Tortoise, watching the video and pondering.
"Wait, did I forget something just now?" She finally remembered her eldest senior brother.
"Oh no, look at my brain! Eldest Senior Brother, your condition is so urgent. Ride my Spirit Tortoise, and we'll go to the Fifth Elder together! He'll definitely have a way to treat you!"
[Lan Yue: Of course, I can also take the opportunity to see how the Fifth Elder's face is doing after the kitty scratched it. I wonder if he'll stake out the doorway again tonight.]
Li Bai, who had finally been remembered: "..."
He wiped his face, feeling as though he had weathered a lifetime of hardship. "Junior Sister, my eyes suddenly got better. There's no need to go see Master."
He feared that if he went to his master now, he would be thrown out before long.
"That quickly? Are you sure you don't want to get them checked?" Lan Yue was still worried. His eyes had been twitching fiercely just now.
"Junior Sister, don't worry. I'm perfectly fine." Li Bai's voice even carried a slight choked note.
Beside them, Yun Xi was laughing helplessly.
In the end, at Li Bai's insistence, the group decided to return to Spirit Moon Peak.
"Er Dan, let's go back!" Lan Yue patted the Spirit Tortoise's head with an air of high spirits.
Yet the Spirit Tortoise beneath them kept flying straight ahead, paddling all four feet with tremendous effort.
Lan Yue: "..."
She manually turned Er Dan around before the Spirit Tortoise finally changed direction.
"Er Dan, I never knew you were a manual model." Lan Yue heaved a long sigh.
Just as she was lamenting this, a red figure suddenly flew out nearby.
Once they saw who it was, all three of them stiffened.
Wasn't that the Sect Master of the Scarlet Moon Sect? Why had she come again?
The sight of the Scarlet Moon Sect Master brutally slamming Elder Whitebrow around was still seared into their minds, leaving even Li Bai quaking at the sight of her.
He quietly stepped back twice, then finally remembered that this was hardly appropriate and silently moved in front of his two junior sisters.
Just as his nerves were stretched taut, an excited inner voice rang out beside him instead.
[Lan Yue: So this is what the Scarlet Moon Sect Master looks like. She's so gorgeous, aaah!]
Li Bai, who had just been on his guard: ????
Wait, Junior Sister, aren't your priorities a little crooked? This woman shattered the Morning Cultivation Hall's defensive formation with one slap! No matter how pretty she is, she's still the kind who could slap you dead!
Li Bai was beside himself with worry.
That thought, however, also brought a smile to the Scarlet Moon Sect Master's face.
"You must be Lan Yue? I wonder if you'd be interested in..."
"Wait, Lan Yue, come over here, all of you!" Yun Chong arrived just in time from behind and cut her off.
"Whatever you do, don't listen to the Scarlet Moon Sect Master. She's here to trick you!" Yun Chong was furious.
The instant they let their guard down, this Scarlet Moon Sect Master had sent an avatar over. If they hadn't noticed what was happening, they would probably still be getting distracted by Red Moon's true body!
"What do you mean, trick them? I'm recruiting openly and aboveboard! She can't get much help here, so are you going to forbid her from leaving the darkness for the light?" The Scarlet Moon Sect Master was so brazenly self-righteous that she nearly made the Southern Spirit Sect's elders faint with rage.
[Lan Yue: Exactly, exactly, leave the darkness for the light! Woohoo!]
"See? Lan Yue must like our Scarlet Moon Sect. Why else wouldn't she have refused?" Hearing that thought, the Scarlet Moon Sect Master brightened and declared solemnly.
"How does not refusing mean she likes it?" Yun Chong nearly got tangled up in her logic.
"All right, all right, stop standing around here. Li Bai, take them to the Four Arts Hall! You can have an early look and choose your future paths."
In truth, plenty of elders were stationed at the Four Arts Hall. If this woman tried to snatch anyone again, someone would be able to react in time.
Yun Chong felt he had practically worried his heart to pieces! He hadn't fretted this much in all these years.
"How about this? You could give me this little girl as a disciple instead. I'm not picky." The Scarlet Moon Sect Master spotted Yun Xi behind him, and her eyes lit up.
With her discerning eye, she could naturally tell that this little girl's talent was extraordinary. There was even a faint trace of bloodline power.
Who would have thought the Southern Spirit Sect harbored so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers? It had quite a few promising seedlings!
"In your dreams!" Yun Chong was even more speechless. "She's my daughter! My own flesh and blood!"
She wanted his daughter to go to the Scarlet Moon Sect? He hadn't even finished doting on her himself!
"Then that really is a pity." The Scarlet Moon Sect Master sighed. Why did all the promising seedlings already belong to someone?
Who knew what dog-shit luck Yun Chong had stumbled into to gather so many fine seedlings all at once?
Never mind. As long as she visited often enough, she would surely win these two little girls over!
"Beautiful Sister, I'm off!" As Lan Yue left, she even waved to the Scarlet Moon Sect Master.
That "Beautiful Sister" made Red Moon's heart burst into bloom. In all the years since she had become Sect Master, no one had addressed her that way.
No, to be precise, no one had ever dared speak to her like that.
As expected of someone suspected of possessing an Immortal Artifact. How could her little mouth be so sweet?
"I came in such a hurry that I didn't bring you any gifts. These are two Red Moon Tokens. Whenever you buy anything at an artifact shop run by the Scarlet Moon Sect, you'll get thirty percent off."
Smiling, the Scarlet Moon Sect Master took out two red, moon-shaped tokens, which flew into the two little girls' hands on their own.
"Of course, if you're willing to join our Scarlet Moon Sect, everything will be free!" The Scarlet Moon Sect Master waved a generous hand.
[Lan Yue: As expected of Beautiful Sister, she's so generous! Thank goodness I latched onto that powerful thigh in time! This is just bliss!]
The Scarlet Moon Sect Master raised an eyebrow. She felt victory was in sight!
[Lan Yue: But switching sects? I'll pass. Even though my master-by-default still hasn't come out of seclusion, I've already gotten used to Spirit Moon Peak. Besides, how could I abandon Er Dan!]
"Er Dan, wouldn't you agree?" Lan Yue crouched down and patted his head.
Er Dan obligingly nodded and flew even harder.
[Lan Yue: Of course, the biggest reason is that the Protagonist Group has to gather here. If I leave the Protagonist Group, how am I supposed to munch on gossip and watch the show? And there's my beloved baby girl! Hehehe~]
The Scarlet Moon Sect Master felt a little disappointed, but she soon found a new goal.
Just who belonged to the Protagonist Group? Since Lan Yue had said that, their talents must all be quite good. If she could lure even one over, she would come out ahead!
A shimmering light danced through the Scarlet Moon Sect Master's striking eyes, and her fighting spirit rose once more.
Beside her, the worried Sect Master's mouth twitched. He thought he needn't worry about this girl at all. Even if he tried to drive her away, she might cling to Spirit Moon Peak and howl.
Then he turned his head and saw a faint blush spreading across his daughter's face. His heart gave a sudden lurch.
Oh no, even my daughter has been influenced by this girl!
"Go on, stop dawdling here." Yun Chong's expression cooled as he hurriedly shooed them away, afraid the Scarlet Moon Sect Master would exploit another opening.
He already regretted it. He should never have let this woman in!
[Lan Yue: So stern. Truly the Southern Spirit Sect's famous flower on a lofty peak, admired from afar. No wonder the North Ridge Sacred Son has had a secret crush on him for so long.]
Yun Chong's face instantly froze, while the Scarlet Moon Sect Master beside him lit up with excitement.
What? A story about the Southern Spirit Sect Master and the North Ridge Sacred Son? Say a little more! I'd love to hear it!
