Chapter 241 The Overly Smart Chu Xingchen
However, the real shock actually came after entering the true Sect Protection Grand Formation.
Not to mention Chen Baiqing and Lin Luoyu, who had better aptitudes.
At least Cui Hao had already started to involuntarily take a few extra breaths.
Even Chu Xingchen could perceive a feeling similar to a qualitative change.
It was a feeling of suddenly jumping from a desert into a tropical rainforest.
The magnificence of the real Tianyan Sect's buildings behind the formation could be summarized simply as—it was to the extent that Chu Xingchen wouldn't dare to make such a wish even if he were praying.
What was even more outrageously wealthy was that the Tianyan Sect had built teleportation arrays.
Although this was somewhat related to the Tianyan Sect being very large, the number of teleportation arrays built was as if they cost no money, and they were all high-quality arrays.
Along the way, Qinghe gave a slightly brief introduction to the general situation of the Tianyan Sect.
"Do you see that highest peak? That is the main peak of the Tianyan Sect, Tianyan Peak. The Sect Master of the Tianyan Sect is over there. The Sect Master raised a Soul Formation Stage watchdog over there; it is very fierce. Be careful when wandering over there."
"Also, over there is the peak with blooming peach blossoms; that is the Female Peak. There are all female cultivators over there. Remember to be careful when you go peek. If you get caught, do not say you know me. Just say you are the Sect Master's person."
"Do you see that peak on the left full of giant stones? That is where the males are. Be careful when you go there. Wear thick pants. There are strange rumors over there. Hmm... if possible, I do not recommend you go there."
Chu Xingchen listened seriously at first, but later basically treated it as Qinghe amusing herself.
What Qinghe said became increasingly ridiculous.
Like how the Enforcement Elder and the Sect Master did not get along, and occasionally liked to trip up the Tianyan Sect Master or something.
What kind of wild rumors are these? How could the Tianyan Sect Master be mixed up to this extent?
Even this little Sect Master of his was the one who called the shots in the sect.
Moreover, a top cultivator who could become the Tianyan Sect Sect Master, how could they be such an easy person to deal with?
Additionally, Qinghe's explanation was not about the development history and glory history of the Tianyan Sect; it was all about the history of gossip.
What is the use of listening to this stuff? Could it be used to threaten those Tianyan Sect Peak Lords of unknown cultivation?
It is estimated that before that sentence—"You do not want others to know about this matter"—could be spoken, one would be pinned down and silenced by the Tianyan Sect.
Qinghe currently belonged to the category of not saying a single useful word and saying a bunch of useless words.
Among this group, only Cui Hao listened and nodded frequently, occasionally able to chime in with a couple of sentences.
However, regarding Cui Hao's flattery, Chu Xingchen felt that it was not that Cui Hao liked these gossips, but that Cui Hao was a bit like a foil, not liking to let the conversation drop to the ground.
Chu Xingchen did not pay much attention to Qinghe's nonsense and used his own gaze to measure the place for a moment.
He also personally witnessed the shocking scene of the Tianyan Sect intercepting the spiritual veins.
He also understood why the Central State was able to stand out from the other major continents.
This was simply using an extinction net to catch fish.
The teleportation array was not considered far either. A moment later, the group who boarded the teleportation array was directly transmitted to the Zhuji Peak where Bai Xuanling resided—Zhuji Peak.
The teleportation array was built at the foot of the mountain, but upon arriving here, one could fly directly.
Several rays of light rose from the ground, flying straight towards the palace suspended on the mountain peak.
As Qinghe led Chu Xingchen to walk in the direction where Bai Xuanling was, she also casually introduced Zhuji Peak.
"Over there is the place where Little Lingyu used to practice divine abilities. Little Lingyu was not so tough back then. At that time, she could be considered a little crybaby."
"Although she loved to cry, she was also very cute. It is just that after growing up, I do not know who she learned bad things from; she became unsmiling. Hehe, I think it must be Grandma Bai... Master who taught her badly."
After saying this sentence, Qinghe immediately felt her back turn a bit cold.
She had shouted Bai Xuanling as Grandma Bai in front of Chu Xingchen too many times. This is not like when Grandma Bai was not in Yuzhou City. Grandma Bai has the strength of the Tribulation Crossing Stage; even saying this at the foot of the mountain would be heard.
If this was heard by Grandma Bai...
Qinghe immediately felt goosebumps, quickly closed her mouth, and hurriedly led Chu Xingchen forward.
A moment later.
Chu Xingchen saw Bai Xuanling sitting on a chair, drinking tea alone.
"Sit first." Bai Xuanling looked calmly at Chu Xingchen and the others.
Chu Xingchen nodded lightly and sat down directly without being polite.
Bai Xuanling did not engage in much small talk either. She personally poured a cup of tea brewed by Qinghe for everyone and went straight to the point: "You sent a letter a few days ago saying you wanted to find a geomantic treasure land in the Central State to build a branch sect?"
Qinghe looked over with astonished eyes—what kind of topsy-turvy world is this?
Since when does a Main Sect reside in a remote place while a Branch Sect is built in the Central State?
Chu Xingchen's disciples naturally knew their Master somewhat. They also understood that this was not the time for them to speak, so they silently picked up their teacups and started drinking tea.
"I have an idea. After all, did not Sister Bai teach last time that a remote place cannot hold a hidden dragon like me?" Chu Xingchen answered with a smile.
Bai Xuanling nodded slightly: "I actually know a place. There is a place you might go and take a look at."
Qinghe's gaze was slightly surprised upon hearing this... How did her own Grandma Bai become so smooth at fooling people?
Combined with what Bai Xuanling said not long ago, this place is eighty percent the mission location.
Grandma Bai's heart is as black as ever... Not only does she want others to do work for her, but she also wants others to owe her a favor.
Qinghe sighed slightly. People really do become more crafty as they get older. This black-hearted kid Chu Xingchen is probably also going to be subdued in the palm of Grandma Bai's hand.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingchen's heart was not wild with joy. He looked up at Bai Xuanling but found her expression calm, showing no intention of opening her mouth wide to knock him for a batch of medicinal pills or demand some promise.
Bai Xuanling might be kind, but she should not... be this kind.
"This is not urgent. I want to walk around and look around by myself first." Chu Xingchen circled around a bit with suspicion.
Bai Xuanling looked at Chu Xingchen's eyes upon hearing this.
This kid's good point is being smart, but his bad point is also being sometimes too smart.
If this kid had come earlier and there was time, I would not mind trying to fool him a bit more.
But this kid came a bit too coincidentally; there is not that much time to fool this smart kid.
In that case, Chu Xingchen's luck is truly not bad.
He came so coincidentally, and it is also appropriate for him to handle this matter.
Bai Xuanling raised her teacup: "Thirty-seven split."
"Me seven?!"
"Heh!"
"That won't do, lowest is forty-six!"
Bai Xuanling nodded lightly upon hearing this: "Deal!"
Chu Xingchen did not feel heartache over Bai Xuanling's crisp agreement. Knowing Bai Xuanling's pricing rules, he could get more benefits in the next pricing round.
And only by letting Bai Xuanling have enough benefits this time would there be a next mission.
Handling this matter also repays some of the kindness Bai Xuanling showed in the past.
It cannot be considered a loss.
After all, in this world, only biological fathers and mothers give without counting returns.
Relationships where one only reaches out to demand cannot be maintained for long, regardless of the relationship.
