Chapter 355: Woman, I Missed You!

The speed of the flying Magic Tool that Lou Mu Yan and the others were riding were comparable to Tier 7 Demonic Beasts, and it took them twelve days to arrive at Falling Ghost Town.

When they arrived at the inn agreed on at Falling Ghost Town, the pupils of the other Sects had already arrived one after another.

“The pupils of the Eight Extremes Sect are here.”

“It’s really going downhill these days, the weakest are even putting on airs, always the last to arrive.” A pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect pursed his lips.

Another pupil sneered: “Of course the weakest will arrive last, so as to show their status at the bottom.”

As soon as Lou Mu Yan and the others entered the door, they heard the ridicule of the two.
She furrowed her brows slightly.
It seemed that the conflicts between the Eight Extremes Sect and the Vast Mountain Sect wasn’t only between the superior Elders, but also between the pupils.

“What did you say? Dogs can’t spit out ivory1, do you believe that lao’niang will beat you to death.” Jin Se’s temper was relatively hot, and she was instantly ignited when she heard such ridicule.

As soon as the other pupils looked up, they saw a glamorous and enchanting woman’s face filled with hostility, and she appeared as if she was ready to act violently any time.

The pupils of the Vast Mountain Sect suddenly chocked and felt that they had no face.
Although they were afraid of this female tyrant dragon2, but they immediately stood up and shouted: “Do you think we’ll be afraid of you, demoness?”

When Gu Xiu heard the words of the pupils of the Vast Mountain Sect, they couldn’t help but feel a little angry too, so they didn’t stop Jin Se.

Just as it appeared as if the swords on both sides were about to be drawn, a magnetic and clear voice sounded.

“Stop.”

When everyone looked over, they saw several white-clothed people walk downstairs.
The leader was a man with a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament.

As soon as he appeared, it seemed that the brilliance was only lit for him.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed interest—it really was Ming Xiu, that guy.

As soon as Ming Xiu raised his eyes, he met Lou Mu Yan’s, and his dark eyes as deep as the sea were filled with a smile.

Seeing that the person who came was the leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace, the people on both sides immediately restrained their warring attitude.

“You two Sects are both here to participate in the mission this time.
I hope that you will not delay major events because of trivial things.
If there is any enmity or conflict, it will not be too late to wait for the contests during the Sects’ Grand Competition.” Ming Xiu walked over in front of everyone leisurely as if taking a walk through a garden, his voice gentle, but it contained a chilling ferocity.

“Brother Chi is joking, we were just saying those things, how could we actually fight.” The leader of the Vast Mountain Sect smiled shyly.

They didn’t want to offend Chi Xiu, the number one person of the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Secret Palace for such a reason.

Jin Se naturally knew Chi xiu.
This man was also the pupil she feared most in the Heavenly Secret Palace, and there was a sneer on her enchanting face: “As long as the dog doesn’t bite people, we naturally won’t beat dogs.”

The Vast Mountain Sect had always been at odds with their Eight Extremes Sect.
Each time they entered a Secret Realm or the Land of Inheritance together, many pupils would be lost in the other’s hands, so the two Sects had the most grudges.

“Demoness, do you really think we won’t dare do anything?” The pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect was furious and asked fiercely, rolling up his sleeves.

Just as Jin Se was about to explode, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire hall.
Except for Lou Mu Yan, the pupils, including the several other Sects, revealed looks of astonishment.

The pupils of the Heavenly Secret Palace, however, looked at Ming Xiu with admiration, especially the two women behind him whose eyes were so hot that they could burn someone.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at Ming Xiu.
This guy really was the focus wherever he went, and the eyes of many of the female cultivators here were practically glued to him.

“Humph, we’ll see true power at the Grand Competition.” The leader of the Vast Mountain Sect was shocked by Ming Xiu’s pressure and snorted coldly.

Jin Se also fearfully retracted her aura and stopped talking.
Chi Xiu was too strong and was not someone they could touch.

Seeing that the two were no longer fighting, Ming Xiu curbed the aura released from him, walked to a chair in the hall, and sat down, “Everyone, sit down.
Let’s talk about this mission first.”

Hearing his words, the people who were standing all found a place to sit down.

“Brother Chi, what’s happening with the disappearance of the pupils at Falling Ghost River this time? How was your honourable3 Sect’s investigation?” The leader of the Sword Sect asked cautiously.

Ming Xiu’s eyes were light, “We sent people to investigate after we received news of the disappearance of the guarding pupils nearby, and found that there might be Devil Cultivators nearby, but their Soul Tablets weren’t broken, so there’s just a feeling that something wasn’t right.

“As for the detailed information, I don’t have it here.
It was precisely to investigate this matter that the Heavenly Secret Palace initiated the Six Sects Mission this time.”

“I see.
Then this matter is rather difficult.” The leading pupil of the Medicine Sect furrowed his brows.

It would be troublesome if it was a Devil Cultivator who caused the trouble.
Devil Cultivator methods were ruthless and sinister, and they were even stronger than them Sword Cultivators at the same stage.

“Everyone rest for the night.
Let’s go to Falling Ghost River tomorrow to investigate for ourselves.”

The entire inn had been reserved by the Six Major Sects, with one room each.

After separating, the moment Lou Mu Yan entered a room, she was hugged from behind, and the familiar scent lingered on the tip of her nose.

“Woman, I missed you!” Ming Xiu hugged Lou Mu Yan’s waist and placed his head against her neck.

And Mo Yan, who was standing on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder, was also shoved down by Ming Xiu.

Mo Yan’s dark eyes exuded a cold aura, and with a cold snort, he dashed into the Spirit Pet Ring.

Out of sight, out of mind.
But why was he still so upset inwardly? He really wanted to tear Ming Xiu’s thick face off, but he held back because of Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan would think of him from time to time since she discovered Ming Xiu was unique to her, so she didn’t resist his hug.

“Your identity changes rather quickly.” Lou Mu Yan chuckled lightly.

Ming Xiu smelled the clean and refreshing fragrance of medicine on Lou Mu Yan, and the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided.
His temperament was usually indifferent and unfeeling, but he never thought that one day, he would fall for a woman.

Although they didn’t meet many times, but he basically had all of Lou Mu Yan’s news in his hands.
Each little bit more that he got to know her, he missed her a little more, and he fell deeper and deeper.

With a thought, Ming Xiu stretched out his hand and formed a few Taoist Seals at will.
The entire room was surrounded by a high-level Spirit Isolation Array.

“Can’t help it, I joined the Heavenly Secret Palace to investigate something, so I can’t reveal my identity as the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall.”

Lou Mu Yan saw that he could easily set up a Grade 5 Spirit Isolation Array, and her eyes deepened.
She relaxed her body and let him hold her, “You’re a Grade 5 Array Master?”

Ming Xiu kissed Lou Mu Yan’s ear and whispered: “I’m a Grade 7 Array Master.”

He didn’t want to hide anything from Lou Mu Yan.
He liked her, so he would never be vague when he should be frank with her.

Lou Mu Yan was startled and sighed that this guy’s talent was truly Heaven-defying.
But towards the fact that he didn’t conceal it from her, she still felt rather comfortable about it.

“Your cultivation base isn’t only Middle-Phase Sword Sovereign that everyone sees right?” Lou Mu Yan leaned against him and continued to ask.

“Mm.
I used a Secret Skill to hide my cultivation base.
I’m actually a Sword Saint.” Ming Xiu replied with a chuckle.

Did the fact that Lou Mu Yan asked these questions mean that she had begun to sincerely accept him?

1meaning a filthy mouth (dog’s) can’t utter decent words (spit out ivory)

2it technically translates to female ‘tyrannosaurus’ but did dinosaurs even exist then? HAHA But the words 暴龙 (tyrannosaurus) can be separated into ‘violent’ and ‘dragon’, so I decided to go with tyrant dragon XD.

3this is just politeness by adding 贵 (gui) before certain words.
 In this case, ‘贵宗’ (honourable Sect).
This can also be used to speak of countries, like ‘贵国’.
Not often used in everyday conversations though, and more formal.
A more common usage might be ‘贵姓’ meaning ‘your (honourable) surname’ and you would often reply with your name.
It’s still rather formal and courteous and there are other ways to ask for a person’s name.
