1105: Chapter 285_4 1105: Chapter 285_4 But why had they suddenly chased after them now, following their entry into the Cloud Reaching Sect?
Amid Ling Xi’s curious gaze, the person flew to her front and landed, subsequently retracting the Golden Core Phenomena from behind.
Then, looking at Ling Xi, he revealed a warm and enthusiastic smile, saying, “Everyone, I am Duan Rui, a disciple of the Cloud Reaching Sect.
Earlier, at the gate of the mountain, I noticed that you all seemed unfamiliar with our sect.
Therefore, I have specifically come to guide you.”
While speaking, he paused slightly, then continued, “As we are responsible for welcoming guests outside the gate of the mountain, naturally, we are also responsible for guiding all the guests.”
He was right; they were tasked with guiding, and naturally, they must guide newcomers to visit various places within the Cloud Reaching Sect.
However, the problem was, they were only supposed to guide those who had invitation cards, or even the people from other sects; they generally would not guide them, and if they did, it would not be a disciple at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection like him, but rather they would send a few other disciples.
Not to mention those who didn’t have an invitation card but had entered the Cloud Reaching Sect through the strength of their Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
They would hardly bother to guide such people.
“Oh, I see,” Ling Xi responded with a bow, “Thank you for your guidance, Dao Companion.”
“You are too polite, Immortal,” replied Duan Rui, continuing to inquire, “May I ask how to address you, fellow Dao Companions?
Where are you from?”
“We are from the Hundred Peaks Sect.” Ling Xi knew that, based on their current appearance, anyone could tell they were from an Immortal Sect and certainly could not claim to be Loose Cultivators.
But in terms of which Immortal Sect to claim they belonged to, she could not immediately come up with a name for an Immortal Sect.
Besides, fabricating a name on the spot could cause complications if such a sect actually existed at this location.
Regardless, since the Eastern Wasteland had not yet connected to the Eastern Province, they were unlikely to have much interaction with the people here.
Thus, claiming to be from the Hundred Peaks Sect should suffice, and by the time the Eastern Wasteland connected to the Central Five Provinces, he would probably have forgotten about the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Moreover, it wasn’t as if their Hundred Peaks Sect would likely have any interaction with the Cloud Reaching Sect.
Continuing, Ling Xi pointed to herself and said, “I am their senior martial sister, Ling Xi.”
“Oh, so you are Immortal Sister Ling Xi,” Duan Rui heard and initially wanted to compliment her name.
However, he was at a loss as to how to praise it appropriately.
He then remembered something his junior brother had tasked him with, turned his head towards the stern-faced female disciple opposite him, and asked, “May I know how to address this Immortal Sister?”
“Yan Yourong,” Yan Yourong replied curtly, her voice as crisp and chilling as cold wind blowing through jade shards.
Upon hearing these three words, Duan Rui felt the temperature around him drop and, for a moment, did not know what to say.
He paused briefly before turning to introduce, “Ladies and gentlemen, our Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand banquet begins tomorrow.
However, you may enter our sect today.
“At the same time, here at our Bi You Palace, we have arranged a banquet where you can join many Dao Companions to drink and discuss the Dao.”
As he spoke, he sighed inwardly, murmuring to himself that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to gather more information about that woman for his junior brother, but she was simply too cold and detached; it was hard to get anything out of such a person.
“Is there food?” Zhu Peng suddenly perked up upon hearing this, loudly exclaiming, “Zhu Peng knows that a banquet means there’s food!
Zhu Peng is hungry, Zhu Peng wants to eat.”
Duan Rui was taken aback, looking puzzledly at Zhu Peng.
What was going on?
This person, who had previously emitted such a brutal and bloody aura, was now speaking like a child?
It even made one think he was a bit simple-minded.
Feeling Duan Rui’s gaze, Zhu Peng’s eyes suddenly widened, and he glared at Duan Rui, angrily yelling, “What are you looking at?
Are you calling Zhu Peng stupid?
Believe it or not, Zhu Peng will hit you!”
Duan Rui could now confirm it wasn’t just a feeling; this was definitely a simpleton.
A simpleton cultivating immortality…
It seemed, in the Eastern Province, there indeed were simpletons who pursued immortality.
Although their Cloud Reaching Sect did not have any, in the Eastern Province, there was actually a Great Ability who was a simple-minded and currently dormant.
Besides, he had also heard that other Immortal Sects in the Eastern Province had simple-minded cultivators.
However, simple-minded cultivators were rare, and the tense and fierce aura he had initially seen from the person made his reaction of surprise quite understandable after discovering he was simple-minded.
Hearing Zhu Peng talk about hitting people again, Ling Xi quickly scolded, “Zhu Peng, behave, don’t be rash.”
As she spoke, she looked towards Duan Rui, apologizing a bit, “This Dao Companion, my junior brother is a bit special.
I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“No worries, no worries at all.
I won’t mind,” Duan Rui repeatedly waved his hand dismissively, seeing this as an opportunity to show his magnanimity in front of Ling Xi.
Ling Xi continued, bowing again, “Dao Companion, where exactly is the banquet held?”
Duan Rui grew increasingly fond of Ling Xi in his heart.
Not only was this Immortal Sister beautiful and well-mannered, she even took it upon herself to discipline her junior brother in front of a stranger.
Having addressed that, she still endeavored to fulfill her junior brother’s desire to go to the banquet.
“The banquet…
our Cloud Reaching Sect is vast, and although I can tell you about it, it’s not easy to explain clearly.
Please follow me; I will take you to the banquet.”
