Chapter 29 Midnight Horror, the Mastermind is...
"Senior Brother, why do you look at me like that?" Lan Yue asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Lan Yue, do you mean I should choose both of them?" Yun Xi understood.
"Perhaps, this will work too."
[Lan Yue: That's right, choosing both is perfectly fine! With my talent, Nu'e, this is no problem at all!]
As her thoughts fell, those people fighting fiercely above her froze instantly.
"What are you fighting for? Look at you, you're almost tearing the sect apart!" Yun Chong flew over and said seriously to the group.
"Since you all want Yunxi to learn, then let's learn together. My daughter will have more than one path to take in the future, so it's up to you to decide!" The sect leader's voice was majestic and resounded throughout the entire mountain where the Four Arts Hall was located. On the surface, he seemed angry, but in reality, he was overjoyed.
Yun Chong's petty self stood smugly with his hands on his hips.
This is his daughter, his own flesh and blood! You can hit her as hard as you want, she's still his daughter!
"Ahem, since that's the case, Brother Fang, how about we shake hands and make peace, and work together to teach Yunxi well?" The head of the Spirit Weapon Hall finally took a step back.
"Brother Yuan, I apologize for any offense caused. Let's work together from now on." Fang Ding also put away his alchemy furnace, which was surrounded by blue and white flames.
The other elders also shook hands and made peace, showing no signs of the fierce fight they had just had; they all seemed to be getting along well.
This rapid change of expression completely shocked Lan Yue below.
[Lan Yue: As expected, the big sects really know how to have fun. They've really impressed us country bumpkins who've never even been to a city before.]
The group of people shaking hands and making peace almost couldn't keep up their pretentious expressions.
[Lan Yue: I remember someone just mentioned that someone from the Spirit Weapon Hall mysteriously disappeared? I need to check what happened. I don't want to end up in the Spirit Weapon Hall and not even know how my body was dumped.]
The head of the Spirit Weapon Hall, who was just about to leave, froze. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, so he could only stay suspended in the sky.
Fang Ding across from him winked and grinned, looking smug.
Element stammered for a long time, but finally shut his mouth, because he also wanted to know what had happened to the disciple who had suddenly disappeared.
[Lan Yue: Let me see, let me see... Holy crap, this title is so scary, I don't even dare to click on it!]
[Midnight Horror: The Unsung Mastermind Behind the Scenes.]
…
In the Hall of Four Arts, Elder Fang Ding of the Alchemy Pavilion had silently taken out his alchemy furnace and sat back down.
Even Yun Chong and the elders behind him took out their magical artifacts and stood on them skillfully.
"So there really was something fishy about the disappearance of your Spirit Weapon Hall disciples!" Fang Ding exclaimed in shock.
He didn't actually know the specifics; he just mentioned it casually when he thought of it at the time.
"The matter is still unresolved, so I will not discuss it," the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall said with a dark face.
"If it really is my nephew's fault, then he should be punished accordingly."
"You? Are you really willing to do that?" Fang Ding sneered from the other side. "Don't try to make excuses and find ways to avoid it later."
"With so many elders watching from above, how can I refuse? You should use your brain!" Yuan Su gritted his teeth.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yun Chong quickly stopped them.
"If you keep arguing, my daughter will definitely not consider you when choosing a master in the future!" Yun Chong said calmly.
The two elders, who had been arguing fiercely, immediately fell silent.
[Lan Yue: Huh, why haven't those elders left yet? Could it be some kind of meeting?]
The Sixth Elder, who was just taking out a spirit fruit to secretly take a bite, froze. His heart was pounding, afraid that Lan Yue below would discover that they had come to eavesdrop on their thoughts.
[Lan Yue: Never mind, these elders must have something very important to discuss. After all, it involves my daughter, so anything is possible! She's the female lead, after all, she has the female lead's halo!]
Just as she was about to continue scrolling down, she felt someone gently tug at her.
Turning her head, Yunxi secretly handed her a freshly washed, bright red spiritual fruit.
"This is for me to eat!" Lan Yue was pleasantly surprised. The female lead actually took the initiative to bring her something to eat, which meant she liked her!
She happily took it and took a big bite.
[Lan Yue: Why does this feel like best friends gossiping together? But I really can't tell Nü'e this secret! It's such a shame!]
It's alright. When I've truly mastered the art of divination, I'll secretly share gossip with Nü'e under the guise of divination!
Anyway, those people don't know what divination actually is or to what extent it can be done. It's practically a skill tailor-made for me!
At the top of Siyitang Mountain, Yun Chong quietly moved his ninth junior brother, who had just arrived, to a different spot.
"Junior brother, your idea is excellent. Let Lanyue learn divination, and everything will fall into place naturally."
Yun Chong had been having a major headache because many people could hear Lan Yue's thoughts.
Although those people were restricted by the celestial artifact and could not explain the specific reasons, their behavior could be deduced from the clues.
Take, for example, the brawl between the elders of the Spirit Weapon Hall and the Alchemy Pavilion. Lan Yue had just revealed her true feelings, saying that her daughter would become a ninth-level alchemist and even be able to repair immortal artifacts, when a fierce fight broke out. Anyone would think something was wrong, right?
It can only be said that Xiao Lanyue is really thick-skinned. She hasn't even realized it yet, and just thinks everything is normal because the female lead is so amazing.
If it were him, he would have been on guard long ago.
Yun Chong transmitted his thoughts to his Ninth Junior Brother, successfully seeing the other's pensive expression.
"I can only say that there's a reason why the immortal artifact chose my disciple instead of you," Guangji replied aloofly, raising his head in a telepathic voice.
Yun Chong: "..."
"Fairy Guangji, why don't you tell your elder brother about what happened in the Northern Region?"
Yun Chong didn't transmit his words, but the other elders could hear them all. They all turned around and showed the same gossipy expression.
Guangji's aloof expression completely crumbled, and he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!" He turned his head away instantly, his ears turning bright red.
This appearance aroused great curiosity among the other elders.
Is there anything else that needs to be mentioned?
At this moment, they desperately wished they could possess a celestial artifact like Lan Yue, so they could freely observe what was happening.
They all sighed, filled with regret.
Guangji: "..."
What's wrong with these people? How come they suddenly changed their attitude after only a short period of seclusion? Weren't they all very serious before, except for Sixth Brother?
Guangji pursed his lips, somewhat puzzled.
He suddenly wanted to know what else had happened during his seclusion.
Actually, he only found out a few days ago that his disciple had obtained a celestial artifact.
While he was surprised, he also made up his mind to train this little apprentice well, so that he wouldn't lie around all day, otherwise he wouldn't even know how to run away when someone was chasing him.
This is why he has been watching Lan Yue's training for so many days; Guang Ji is really worried sick about this little apprentice.
When other people escape, they at least know how to fly on a sword. This guy doesn't even know how to fly on a sword. Does he expect to escape by relying on a spirit turtle?
This guy has probably been caught before he even started!
[Lan Yue: Here it comes, let me see what kind of gossip it is.]
Holy crap, so the missing disciple really was the nephew of the Spirit Weapon Hall Master's fault!
To be specific about the names, everything was done by this person named Steel Egg!
This is outrageous! This person is trying to scam me, trying to use my name, Erdan!
Lan Yue slapped the spirit turtle next to her in anger, and the spirit turtle waved its four claws, looking fierce.
