In the northern part of the Fifty Thousand Li Great Marsh, the terrain was vast and boundless.
Several people traveled through the air, speeding all the way, passing through layers of sea clouds, and returned outside the mountain gate of the Jieqing Sect.
Passing through the phantom mountain wall again, they finally stepped into the Jieqing Sect's world within a painting.
Upon entering, Lin Feiyan pulled Gong Shaoqi and hurried to the front of Jiang Yuechu.
"Guest Elder Jiang."
Lin Feiyan lowered her voice, "My Junior Brother and I snuck out this time... ahem, the Sect has rules, so we really cannot intervene in the matter of these two joining the Sect."
In truth, as Personal Disciples, bringing back two Outer Sect Disciples would only be a matter of one sentence.
But after all, they had snuck out of the Sect; if they went to help, wouldn't they be exposing the fact that they had left the mountain privately?
Even if she wanted to get closer to Jiang Yuechu, for the moment, she could only point to the distant mountain peak: "You can take them to the Main Peak and just find any managing deacon to arrange things properly."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly: "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Gong."
"Hey... there's no need for such politeness..."
After the two parties said their goodbyes, just before leaving, Lin Feiyan asked as if inadvertently: "By the way, I still don't know where you are staying within the Sect, Guest Elder?"
"Zuowang Forest."
Hearing these three words, a flash of wild joy crossed Lin Feiyan's eyes.
Such a coincidence?!
Yet, on her Face, she deliberately put on an expression of disappointment and longing.
"So it is Zuowang Forest..." Lin Feiyan sighed, "My Junior Brother and I are just ordinary Inner Sect Disciples; I fear we wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of Zuowang Forest on ordinary days, let alone visit you, Guest Elder."
Jiang Yuechu was still thinking about the Southern Immortal Palace, and upon hearing this, she casually replied: "Oh... then you two work hard in the future."
"..."
So annoying...
Lin Feiyan sullenly withdrew her gaze and did not linger any longer.
After a slight bow, she and her Junior Brother turned and flew towards the horizon.
After flying a distance, Gong Shaoqi looked back and scratched his head in confusion: "Senior Sister... why do you seem so happy?"
Lin Feiyan hummed twice.
A mysterious smile curled the corners of her mouth, and she did not explain.
This time, sneaking down the mountain, although they were chased by demons and ran away in a panic, without gaining any glory from slaying demons, she felt it was a trip worth taking.
The greatest gain was realizing what the true demeanor of an expert was from this Guest Elder Jiang.
That kind of pretentious air maintained while remaining calm and composed was simply Advanced to the extreme.
She secretly calculated in her heart.
When this Guest Elder Jiang happened to bump into her in Zuowang Forest in the future, and discovered that she, this Inner Sect Disciple, was actually a dignified Personal Disciple...
That scene...
Tsk.
It seems she had accidentally learned the essence of it...
At the edge of the entrance, Jiang Yuechu watched the Senior Sister and Junior Brother disappear from sight and silently withdrew her gaze.
Find a managing deacon...
She was new here and didn't know many people in the Jieqing Sect.
The only deacon she could consider an acquaintance seemed to be Deacon Linghan.
It would be better to find an acquaintance to make things easier.
She casually stopped a passing Outer Sect Disciple and asked for the location of Deacon Linghan.
Then, she turned to look at the two people who had been silent behind her.
"Let's go."
At this moment, Old Ancestor Xuanming and True Lord Xuan Yang had already been thoroughly shocked by the scene before them.
Along the way, the vastness of the Jieqing Sect had far exceeded their imagination.
Continuous immortal mountains pierced straight into the clouds... streaks of light frequently flashed across the sky, all of which were Cultivators with profound auras.
Even an ordinary Disciple passing by occasionally had a foundation that made them feel alarmed.
This was one of the Nine Great Dao Sects of Yunmeng Township?!
In front of such a behemoth, the world they had once been in was simply insignificant.
True Lord Xuan Yang clenched his fists tightly.
He looked up at the Main Peak that towered into the clouds, his eyes full of excitement.
If he could stay here, even if he had to start as the lowliest Outer Sect servant, with his talent, there would eventually be a day he could succeed in this Yunmeng Township!
Old Ancestor Xuanming also took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
The two looked at each other and saw ambition in each other's eyes.
Then they tacitly concealed it.
As those of The Main Seat of a Dao Lineage... how could they be discouraged by a momentary setback?
They really didn't know if, when they borrowed the resources of Jieqing in the future to stir up trouble in this world again... the young girl would regret everything she did today...
On the Main Peak, the mountain path wound along, with green pines greeting guests on both sides.
Deacon Linghan was holding a thick roster and checking matters when he suddenly felt something and looked up.
Seeing that flash of snow-white robes ascending the stairs, True Lord Linghan was slightly stunned, then immediately put down the roster and hurried to greet her: "Guest Elder Jiang, what brings you to my place today?"
Jiang Yuechu's expression was calm; she slightly shifted her body to reveal the two shriveled old men who were following closely behind her.
"I happened to do some things while out, and brought back two servants... If there are any arduous tasks in the Outer Sect of the Sect, just assign them there; there is no need to show any leniency."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, True Lord Linghan's gaze shifted slightly, and he looked the two over from head to toe.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not ask too many questions.
The Jieqing Sect was already short of people.
Moreover, assigning them as Outer Sect Disciples was just a trivial matter of giving a few orders, so naturally, there was no reason to refuse to give her Face.
"As for Guest Elder Jiang's instructions, I will naturally handle them properly."
True Lord Linghan smiled slightly and casually summoned two on-duty Disciples in green robes: "Go, take these two to the back mountain mine, collect their monthly allowance tokens, and register them in the Outer Sect roster."
After speaking, he pondered slightly.
Although True Lord Linghan seemed a bit unreliable on ordinary days, he had reached the position of deacon by his own efforts, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Yuechu's words.
No need to show leniency meant they needed special attention...
Thinking of this, the smile on his Face did not diminish, and his lips moved slightly, transmitting into the ears of the two Disciples.
"Take them to the Gui-numbered mine in the deepest part of the back mountain; the rock layers there are the hardest... Since these two were personally brought back by Guest Elder Jiang, they must have some ability. Don't let them be idle; give them the lowest ration for their three daily meals, and arrange the arduous task of night patrol for them as well. Do not let any mistakes occur."
The two green-robed Disciples paused slightly.
Then, they walked to True Lord Xuan Yang and the other with expressionless Faces: "The two of you, please follow us."
"Yes... yes..."
The two dared not speak any more and just silently followed behind the two Disciples, heading towards the back mountain.
As their figures disappeared at the end of the mountain path, only Jiang Yuechu and True Lord Linghan were left at this place.
Jiang Yuechu did not intend to stay here any longer.
She nodded slightly towards True Lord Linghan and was about to bid farewell and leave.
"Wait a moment, Guest Elder Jiang."
Deacon Linghan hurriedly stepped forward: "Oh my, actually, it is a coincidence; I was just worrying about where to find you, Guest Elder, and you came to me yourself."
"Hmm? Something the matter?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu paused with some confusion.
Deacon Linghan let out two dry laughs, his expression becoming a bit strange, even faintly carrying a hint of envy.
"Junior Friend Jiang has not been in the Sect for long, so you probably do not know about the matter of the Immortal Deity Cave..."
