Chapter 78: First to Arrive
After Yang Wei’s apologies, the rest of the disciples and Elder Pao Huang seemed to be in a good mood as some were even skipping as they advanced closer to the meeting place.
Elder Jing didn’t care about the depressed Yang Wei as she stayed focused the entire journey in case some sect wanted to play dirty.
Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue held a wide grin as she continued to stare at Yang Wei who held a deadpan expression.
Although Yang Wei apologized, he didn’t feel guilty at all since all he did was ignoring a girl and nothing else.
‘I thought the cultivation world was ruthless but apparently, the cultivation world is full of horny and lewd men that worship gorgeous females.’ Yang Wei cursed inwardly as he wondered if becoming a cultivator was a wise decision.
If he was still a lowly mortal then he doubts that he will ever encounter this kind of problem again in his life.
“Are you still mad over the incident?” Lian Xinyue walked closer to Yang Wei and asked softly.
“What do you think? Being falsely accused and forced to admit a mistake he didn’t do.” Yang Wei replied as he continued his usual pace.
Lian Xinyue pouted slightly and felt some guilt after thinking over the incident as she was indeed too childish and playful.
However, she was a young lady, and usually, it’s the man that coaxes the lady and not the other way around.
Hence, Lian Xinyue didn’t know what else to say as she was unwilling to admit that she was the one that made him mad.
After pondering for a while, Lian Xinyue said, “Shouldn’t you be more generous and forgiving since I’m just an innocent and weak lady?”
Yang Wei glanced at her briefly before saying, “If anyone were to believe you are weak and innocent then they’re going to suffer a lot. Anyway, I already forgot about the incident so it’s better for you to annoy someone else.”
Yang Wei wanted to get her away from him, almost like he was avoiding a plague.
Lian Xinyue was not one to give up easily as she continued to pester him until he got a headache.
Yang Wei rubbed his head slightly as he decided to entertain Lian Xinyue. At the same time, he started comparing Lian Xinyue with Meng Yan who are both annoying and nonstop pestering women.
‘Are all women in this world that have a heavenly beautiful appearance admired by everyone and have a pestering behavior?’ Yang Wei pondered inwardly.
However, he quickly denied his thinking since Elder Jing was different from Lian Xinyue and Meng Yan.
Elder Jing was mature and had a demeanor that is attractive to others but she was never a pestering one.
While Yang Wei was busy comparing the women, Lian Xinyue continued to bombard him with questions.
“So do you think that other sects are lucky like us to have almost all the disciples alive?” Lian Xinyue asked.
The Purple Scorpion Sect can be considered disqualified since they have killed everyone at the cost of three deserted disciples.
The fate of Xian Min and the other two disciples that deserted in the crucial time was killed brutally by Elder Pao Huang and Lian Xinyue described the entire process to Yang Wei.
Xian Min and the other two pleaded for mercy as they swore to heaven to never betray the sect again. However, Elder Pao Huang was decisive and wasn’t going to forgive them since they had planned on killing them all if it weren’t for Elder Jing’s timely appearance.
“I won’t be able to give you an answer for that question because anything is possible in this mysterious realm.” Yang Wei gave a generic reply without guessing and trying to predict the future.
He wasn’t a fortune teller so he wouldn’t know how many people are left in the other sects or even predict how many sects are still alive after the intense fighting with magical beasts.
Of course, Yang Wei knew that most have probably fallen because of other sects due to greed which is embedded in their blood since they were born.
“Hmm, you really don’t like to talk much with others except for Elder Jing.” Lian Xinyue suddenly said, causing Yang Wei to stumble slightly.
“W-What nonsense are you spouting? I’m just not as talkative compare to others.” Yang Wei stuttered as he tried to defend himself.
However, Lian Xinyue’s suspicions were confirmed with Yang Wei’s disgusting ability in lying.
‘Elder Jing was correct. Yang Wei sucks at lying and you can tell from one glance whenever he tries to lie.’ Lian Xinyue twitched her mouth slightly when she finally noticed what Elder Jing meant.
Yang Wei also knew he messed up since he couldn’t lie flawlessly once again.
‘I really need to practice lying since it’s a crucial ability to survive in the cultivation world.’ Yang Wei reminded himself to start learning to lie without any change in his emotion nor change in his tone.
Sometime later, Elder Jing finally stopped in an open area.
“We have arrived at the meeting place and it seems like we’re the first sect to be here.” Elder Jing said softly as she used her spiritual sense to check around the area.
Once she finished sensing and knew it’ll be some more time before the other sect arrives here, Elder Jing turned around to glance at the disciples.
“Start setting up a camp in one place since we arrived here first then naturally, we will get the best spot.” Elder Jing ordered and the disciples quickly unpacked their things and started claiming an area for their sect.
Elder Pao Huang wasn’t lazing around either as he retrieved a flag from his spatial ring and placed it in the ground.
The flag has a symbol from the sect with the name labeled, Feather Wind Sect on it as the wind started blowing it lightly, causing the flag to wave around.
Once everything was set up, Elder Jing walked to the center and explained what they would be doing.
“Now we shall wait for the other sect. The rest of you can disperse and do your own thing for now but remember, you must not exhaust your true qi.”
Elder Jing exclaimed loudly before glancing at Yang Wei.
“Yang Wei, come over here.” Elder Jing said as she went inside her tent, leaving the other disciples to be envious of Yang Wei.
