I'll Go See Her Myself

After five days of rough seas, the enormous treasure ship finally docked at Hidden Sparrow City in Spirit Prefecture.

Sang Ying, along with Dong Fuzhu and the others, checked all the accompanying disciples to make sure everyone had arrived safely before leading them off the boat.

Finally, Jiulian lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew down from the ship. At the same time, the treasure ship behind him shrank inch by inch. When Jiulian landed, the treasure ship had shrunk to the size of a fist and flew straight into Jiulian's wide sleeve and disappeared without a trace.

"Wow, is this Elder Po Jun's Army Breaker Universe in the Sleeve?" Dong Fuzhu, leaning on Sang Ying's shoulder, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Seeing that she seemed very interested, Sang Ying casually replied, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you."

Dong Fuzhu's eyes widened. "Really?!"

"Naturally." This isn't some difficult Method Formula to learn. A woman with Dong Fuzhu's comprehension would probably learn it after watching it a few times.

Dong Fuzhu became even happier upon hearing this, and secretly grabbed Sang Ying's sleeve in an affectionate manner.

The black-clad youth beside him gritted his teeth, and the sound quickly reached Lan Fusheng's ears.

Lan Fusheng sighed, "If you really like the Chief, then go and befriend her. She may seem cold, but she's actually very kind to people."

Bai Kejin, his thoughts exposed by his friend, tilted his head and said, "You don't understand. This isn't about making friends or not."

It's about that little brat Dong Fuzhu daring to tug at the chief's sleeve!

Bai Kejin furious. How could there be such a shameless person as Dong Fuzhu in this world, who wouldn't let go of the top spot?!

The unspoken rivalry among the admirers went unnoticed by Sang Ying, and the group quickly found their way to the foot of the Azure Feather Sect's mountain gate, led by Jiulian and the other two.

The majestic immortal mountain was hidden by a barrier. Only after Elder Gu personally delivered the invitation did the protective barrier slowly lower, revealing its true form.

A young man dressed as a nobleman strode down the long steps and bowed respectfully to Elder Gu: "So it's Ten Thousand Daos Born who has come from afar. My sect leader is currently busy entertaining guests and cannot spare the time, so he specially ordered me to come and welcome you all."

It was obvious that this was a lie. Even if the sect leader couldn't be there, sending an elder wouldn't be impolite. But the other side deliberately sent a Golden Core Realm cultivator, clearly intending to subtly intimidate Ten Thousand Daos Born.

Although it's unclear whether this was their sect leader's intention or someone else's interference, it's clear that they were targeting Ten Thousand Daos Born.

Ten Thousand Daos Born and his group, who saw through these petty tricks, all looked displeased, and Elder Gu, who had a short temper, was almost about to lose his temper on the spot.

But before he could speak, Jiulian tugged at his arm.

Elder Gu was taken aback and looked back, somewhat puzzled, only to see Sang Ying quickly step out from the crowd and greet the young man.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. Since your sect leader is still busy, we won't disturb you. Please take us directly to our lodgings." Sang Ying remembered that, according to custom, the other party was supposed to arrange accommodations for their disciples.

There was certainly a place to stay, but the current situation was beyond the young man's expectations. "Aren't the two elders going to see my sect leader?"

When visiting another sect, isn't it customary to first pay respects to the sect leader?

Sang Ying's attitude remained gentle. "Our two sects are so harmonious that we only need to send one disciple to greet you, so shouldn't this formal greeting be unnecessary?"

The young man's expression instantly became even more awkward. Of course, he hadn't come on the sect leader's orders; he had been sent by Elder Luo to intercept the group.

Although Elder Luo's influence was greatly diminished after the incident with the Jimo Household, he almost lost his position as the Peak Master.

However, the opponent was a formidable figure who had nearly brought down the sect leader, so he was not so easily defeated and had secretly left behind many contingency plans.

Now, the sect leader seems to have taken some drastic measure, suddenly becoming very amiable towards Ten Thousand Daos Born, and even seems to want to reserve the best courtyard for them.

This was something Elder Luo didn't want to see, after all, he had incurred the wrath of several of Ten Thousand Daos Born's elders years ago. If the sect leader were to befriend him, wouldn't the other party's position become even more secure?

Therefore, after a few days of relative peace, Peak Master Luo couldn't wait to make another move.

The young man, entrusted with an important task by Elder Luo, remained silent for a moment before following Sang Ying's words and leading everyone to the guest courtyard.

Their goal was to sow discord between the two sides anyway, and now that Sang Ying had taken the initiative to not visit the sect leader, it suited his purposes perfectly. Once he returned and stirred things up, how could he not complete the task Elder Luo had assigned him?

As the young man respectfully led the way, he was already imagining himself rising through the ranks behind Elder Luo.

The young man, concealing his delight, led everyone to the most dilapidated guest courtyard of the Azure Feather Sect. Seemingly oblivious to the unpleasant expressions on Sang Ying and the others' faces, he said with a smile, "This is the accommodation arranged for you by our sect leader. Please rest here for a while. The sect leader will naturally summon you when he has time."

After leaving behind some profound words, the young man quickly took his leave.

Once the other party had completely left the courtyard, Elder Gu, his face dark and menacing, said to Sang Ying, "This place is not suitable for living. Should I go and speak to their sect leader about this?"

Unexpectedly, Sang Ying replied, "No need, Elder. We don't need to actively search for it. The Sect Master Jimo will send someone to find us a new place."

"How do you know?" Elder Gu, half believing and half doubting.

Sang Ying smiled, "Elder, please wait a moment, it won't be long."

The confident young man, just like her, soon arrived at the sect leader's door. He was inner disciple and had been assigned to receive guests these past few days.

Therefore, as soon as he explained his intention to see the sect leader, the guards on the main peak let him in.

Inside the carved wooden door, the elegant and refined Sect Master Jimo had just put down the list of participants handed over by the Seven Emotions Pavilion.

The mere sight of this sect gave him a headache.

Just then, the young man appeared, Sect Master Jimo called him in to speak, "I heard you went to receive Ten Thousand Daos Born's guests, why didn't you see any of their elders accompany you?"

Through the patriarch's Gu cultivator friend, he already knew that Sang Ying was the chief leader of Ten Thousand Daos Born's team this time. The Sect Master Jimo was originally looking forward to meeting Sang Ying, but Ten Thousand Daos Born's people did not come with the young man.

Asking this question only made things worse; the young man wore a pained expression. "Sect Master, please don't be offended. I did invite them, but..."

The Sect Master Jimo raised an eyebrow. "But what is it?"

The young man seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally revealing his true feelings under the sect leader's questioning. "But those people from Ten Thousand Daos Born are really rude. Not only do they refuse to come and pay their respects to you, they even refuse to stay in the courtyard you prepared for them, insisting on going to the dilapidated little courtyard. I couldn't stop them no matter what I did, so I had no choice but to come and ask you for permission."

This was the first time the young man had lied to the sect leader. His heart was pounding, but he felt more excitement than fear.

"You say they were rude?" The Sect Master Jimo's voice was low and seemed to carry anger. "How were they rude? Who was so rude?"

"It was that female Golden Core cultivator who was leading the group. She even questioned why you didn't take the initiative to greet the guests. Even after I tried to persuade her, she refused to come and pay her respects. She also criticized the courtyard you prepared for them as worthless!" The young man's tone was full of indignation, as if he was very indignant on behalf of the sect leader.

He thought that the Sect Master Jimo would be very angry after saying this, but when the young man secretly raised his eyes to peek, he saw that the usually dignified sect leader actually had a faint smile on his lips!

At that moment, the young man was somewhat stunned.

But what shocked him even more was yet to come.

"What she said makes sense. Since she's so dissatisfied, I'll go see her myself!" The sect leader straightened his sleeves and stood up.

He was about to step outside in front of the young man, who looked at him as if he were some kind of alien.

Fortunately, the Sect Master Jimo turned around after taking only a few steps.

At that moment, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, their sect leader was still clear-headed.

Before he could even finish celebrating, the other person spoke again, "Look at my outfit, is it clean and presentable?" He couldn't be too sloppy when meeting his niece.

Youth: Help! Is this something I can hear?!
