A few days had passed, and Yun Xi arrived.
“It seems like just over a month since we last met, Yun Xi. How come you’re back to the White Cloud Sect so quickly?” Lu Yi said with a bit of surprise when he saw Yun Xi at the door.
Yun Xi tilted her head and pondered for a moment before calmly stating the fact, “Because I missed you.”
Lu Yi: “…”
He had to admit that his heartbeat sped up a bit.
For other women, such sweet nothings might be hard to say, but Yun Xi just blurted them out effortlessly. She had always been forthright, speaking her mind without reservation.
That kind of talk would be the last thing his own junior sister could ever utter. If it were her, she’d probably say ‘This young lady just came to have a look, what about it?’
Lu Yi could already visualize those scenes in his mind.
Just as he visualized it, a streak of Thunder Light cut across the sky and landed right between the two of them.
Donggong Mingyue stood with her hands on her hips, her pretty face wearing an incredulous expression, eyeing them with those clear-cut large eyes: “Yun Xi! It’s been only forty-two days since your last visit to the White Cloud Sect! Why have you come again?”Yun Xi waved to Donggong Mingyue, seemingly oblivious to her unwelcoming demeanor, and spoke softly, “Oh, it’s Sister Mingyue. It’s because I missed Lu Yi a bit.”
Donggong Mingyue’s expression immediately stiffened, not even reacting to Yun Xi calling her ‘sister’—normally, she would have retorted like an irritated kitten, “Who is your sister?”
But Yun Xi’s frankness hit Donggong Mingyue squarely in the face, leaving her quite at a loss for words.
Seeing Donggong Mingyue frozen in place, like a delicate doll, Lu Yi couldn’t help the twitch of his lips, almost wanting to laugh.
His own junior sister had never won an argument with Yun Xi, yet she never tired of it.
As for why Donggong Mingyue showed up whenever Yun Xi arrived,
It was because Donggong Mingyue had planted spies at the base of Ling Luo Peak. As soon as Yun Xi arrived, someone would inform her. After all, as a direct disciple of the Ling Luo Peak Master and a talent in her own right, there were plenty willing to do things for her.
So, every time Yun Xi arrived, Donggong Mingyue would too, then she’d bristle at Yun Xi, somewhat like a little animal with strong territorial instincts.
After being adversaries with Yun Xi for six years, Donggong Mingyue ought to have developed some resistance—she glared, exasperated, “You… you really have no shame!”
Yun Xi seemed puzzled, “I just missed Lu Yi… why should I be embarrassed?”
Donggong Mingyue, her face slightly red and flustered, stuttered without making much sense, “Just… just because…”
Looking at Donggong Mingyue who was nearly ineffective in battle, Lu Yi felt somewhat helpless.
If possible, he hoped the three could get along well. He hadn’t expected that every time they met they’d argue.
If there were some way to improve their relationships, that would be wonderful.
At that moment, a spark of inspiration flashed through Lu Yi’s mind.
In his past life, the three types of solid friendships were forged by carrying guns together, visiting brothels together, and sharing looted goods.
The last two weren’t feasible.
But carrying guns together seemed possible.
Experiencing fierce battle together generally helped relationships, right?
Lu Yi pondered about finding some opponents for them.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
And that was that both the Blood Spirit Sect and Heavenly Snake Sect were still around.
Lu Yi thought of himself as quite the vindictive person; he remembered those who treated him well and also those who did him wrong.
He had never forgotten how, during their time at the East Forest Ruins, both sects had sent their elite to besiege him, and later, to kill him, they even attacked the White Cloud Sect, resulting in the deaths of many brothers and sisters.
Although other sects joined in later, these two sects were the worst offenders!
Especially the Blood Spirit Sect, as Lu Yi inherently disliked the Blood Spirit cultivators who ritually absorbed Essence Blood, not to mention their attempts to besiege him!
With his current Cultivation Base, he was quite capable of seeking revenge.
Lu Yi mumbled to himself, “I want to destroy the Blood Spirit Sect.”
[Task]
Destroy the Blood Spirit Sect
Reward: Unification Realm Art “Sky Shattering Seal”
Accept Task: Yes/No
When he saw the task reward, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised.
The reward was even higher than he had expected.
Just for destroying a sect whose highest Cultivation Base was only the Divinity Transformation Realm, he could receive a Unification Realm art?
Keep in mind, Lu Yi hadn’t obtained any Unification Realm arts until now, except for the Immortal Sword Scripture he cultivated—this was his first.
Lu Yi, quite surprised, wondered if the rewards for destroying a sect were not calculated based on the highest realm of Cultivation of its cultivators.
Without dwelling too much on it, Lu Yi looked at the two still bickering and showed a gentle smile, “Junior sister, Yun Xi, there’s something I want to discuss with both of you.”
Donggong Mingyue glared at Yun Xi, then turned to Lu Yi, “Senior Brother, what is it?”
Yun Xi, also curious, gazed at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi smiled, “You both have been cultivating within the sect, hardly experiencing any life-and-death battles. Without enduring great wars, even if you reach the required strength, it might not be fully utilized. I plan to take you both for some combat experience.”
Hearing this, both Yun Xi and Donggong Mingyue were a bit surprised.
Donggong Mingyue curiously asked, “Where are we going?”
Lu Yi smiled, “Don’t rush; first, let’s gather Sister and everyone else, and then we’ll all go together.”
Hearing Lu Yi mention ‘everyone’, Donggong Mingyue wrinkled her little nose, but said nothing more, just sneaking a sidelong glance at Yun Xi.
