A certain someone was still a bandit, looking left and right along the way, whistling and humming obscene songs from time to time.
Miao Yi didn't know where this guy had learned it from, but there was one thing that had changed. Ever since the two of them went to the brothel, Miao Yi realized that Luo Shuangfei no longer mentioned anything about the purple marten.
In the past, Luo Shuangfei would either openly beg him to return it to him or beat around the bush. After the two of them went to the brothel, he never mentioned it even once. It was as though he had finally calmed down and was truly willing to return to East Arrival Cave with Miao Yi...
Towering green mountains rose and fell continuously, and flying beams and painted rafters could be seen everywhere.
More than twenty riders stopped in the middle of the mountain and gazed into the distance. Miao Yi let out a sigh of relief.
After traveling for over two months from the School of Blue Jade, they finally arrived at the Glorious Cloud Sect after a long journey of wind and rain.
Their journey wasn't as dangerous as Miao Yi had feared. After all, there weren't many people who dared to act recklessly within the borders of the Celestial Nation. It would be a miracle if they ran into someone like Luo Shuangfei. Even if there were people who harbored ill intentions, they would still have to think twice when they saw so many people travelling together.
Generally speaking, it would be much safer to bring more people with him on the journey. But it wasn't completely useless. To Miao Yi, it was better to be prepared than not. After all, he didn't have any experience in traveling far.
The Glorious Cloud Sect was right in front of them. From afar, the School of Blue Jade was no match for its grandeur. As expected of the number one sect in the First Earthly Branch.
'Is Third Bro cultivating here? I wonder how Third Brother looks like now. Will he still be able to recognize me?
Miao Yi couldn't help but look up at the sky as he recalled how he had to harden his heart and send away such a young girl all those years ago. He felt sorry for his foster parents' spirits in heaven, for not fulfilling his responsibility to take care of them.
He didn't know how Third Bro was doing here. If she wasn't doing well, he would take her away at all costs!
Third Bro! Big Brother is here. Big Brother is sorry. I waited so long to find you! However, in the past, Big Brother could barely protect himself. Now, he had some ability!
Raising his head to look at the sky, Miao Yi felt a little emotional. His eyes reddened. He had already made up his mind. She would first settle him down at the School of Blue Jade. Once Xiong Xiao was eliminated and a potential threat was eliminated, she would bring Little Third to her side. I won't let her suffer anymore!
The fact that he could not wait to rush all the way here showed his mood.
Luo Shuangfei, who was sitting on his dragon steed and looking around, accidentally saw the tears in Miao Yi's eyes. He couldn't help but be taken aback. 'This cruel bastard is crying?'
He asked suspiciously, "Cave Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Let's go! "Miao Yi waved his hand and led the way down the slope.
Luo Shuangfei tugged at the hair on his black mole, and suspiciously chased after the others...
A big sect was indeed a big sect. With so many people arriving at the front of the mountain gate without notifying them, they saw many shadows moving behind the mountain gate, hiding in the surroundings and keeping their guard up.
"Who goes there?" The two guards at the mountain gate raised their hands and shouted for them to stop.
Miao Yi waved his hand, and everyone stopped. He then tossed out a jade archive.
The guards took the jade archive and took turns reading it. Both of them looked at each other in dismay. It was actually a Cave Master from the Fifth Earthly Branch. Even if he rode on a dragon steed, it would still take him at least a month or two.
One of them cupped his fists and asked, "May I know why Cave Master Miao has come to the Glorious Cloud Sect?"
Miao Yi jumped down from Charcoal's back, stepped forward and cupped his fists, "I'm here to ask about someone."
The other party asked, "May I know who you are asking about?"
"Lu Xuexin!" Miao Yi replied politely.
As soon as he said this, Luo Shuangfei's eyes flashed. He scoffed and muttered to Tian Qingfeng beside him, "This name sounds like a woman's name. I thought he was some kind of gentleman, but it turns out he came all the way here just to meet a woman. How promising of him."
Tian Qingfeng turned to look at him, unsure of what he was saying.
"Lu Xuexin?" The disciples guarding the gate looked at each other. One of them asked, "Junior Brother. Have you heard of this person? "
The other person pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Never heard of him."
Miao Yi's heart tightened. The person in front of him cupped his fists and said, "Our sect has many disciples. Perhaps we are ignorant and inexperienced. I will go and invite the Hall Keeper Deacon who is in charge of the sect's disciple register. I'll have to trouble Cave Master Miao to wait for a moment. "
Unexpectedly, Luo Shuangfei blurted out without thinking, "How arrogant. You don't even know to invite us in to rest, and ask your Sect Master to come out and talk."
His words were as arrogant as they could be. He actually wanted the Sect Master of the Glorious Cloud Sect, who had already reached the Purple Lotus realm, to come out.
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the disciples guarding the gate changed drastically. 'Is he here to cause trouble?' The people in the forest on both sides of the road immediately became restless.
Miao Yi's expression twitched, wondering if this Luo Shuangfei was an idiot. Even he wouldn't dare to say something like this when he was in the School of Blue Jade. Not to mention that he was in a completely unfamiliar place, a sect that was countless times larger than the School of Blue Jade. He actually dared to ask the Sect Master to come out.
"Shut up!" Miao Yi turned around and shouted. He then turned to the disciples guarding the gate and cupped his fists, saying politely, "Please don't be calculative with him. He has just recovered from a serious illness, and his mind isn't clear."
Luo Shuangfei pursed his lips and didn't say anything else. He probably realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Tian Qingfeng and the others stared at him with their mouths agape, as though they were looking at a monster.
Luo Shuangfei glared at Tian Qingfeng and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You have a big mouth, and yet you don't allow me to speak? "
"Wait a moment!" The disciples guarding the gate flung his sleeves and left. Just because of Luo Shuangfei's words, his attitude had clearly soured.
It should be known that the other party was only being polite because of Miao Yi's official status. If he really wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't be afraid of a mere Cave Master. The Glorious Cloud Sect was located within the First Earthly Branch. It had produced many Cave Masters, Mountain Chieftains, Manor Heads, and even a Hall Master.
Not long after, an old man in linen robes floated over. The disciples guarding the gate pointed at Miao Yi, and then went forward to return the jade archive to Miao Yi. He then turned around and introduced, "This is our sect's senior, Deacon Liu from the Records Department."
Miao Yi went forward and cupped his fists, "Miao Yi greets Deacon Liu."
Deacon Liu looked at the troops behind him, and also cupped his fists, "Greetings, Cave Master Miao. I heard that Cave Master Miao is here to inquire about someone?"
"That's right!" Miao Yi reported Lu Xuexin's name.
"Lu Xuexin?" Deacon Liu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There is no such person in our sect."
Miao Yi was a little anxious, "Deacon Liu, I saw her join your sect with my own eyes. How can there be no such person?"
Deacon Liu pointed at his own head and smiled, "The names of over ten thousand disciples in our sect are all in this old man's mind. There are only fifteen people with the surname Lu, and none of them are women. There's no way I'm wrong. Could Cave Master Miao be mistaken?"
Miao Yi repeatedly asked him to confirm, but the other party said there was no such person. Miao Yi's heart immediately sank.
He didn't dare to elaborate on Lu Xuexin's situation, because he had heard that some sects would torture disciples without any background to death. He couldn't help but feel worried. If that was really the case, then in order to not spread the scandal, he might not tell the other person's situation. He immediately asked, "May I know if Yan Beihong is in your sect?"
"Yan Beihong?" Deacon Liu was taken aback, then nodded and said, "He is indeed an outstanding disciple of our sect."
'Outstanding disciple?' Miao Yi was delighted. It seemed like Yan Beihong was doing quite well in the Glorious Cloud Sect. Yan Beihong must have come to the Glorious Cloud Sect together with his Little Sister. Miao Yi had even asked Yan Beihong to take care of his Little Sister, so Yan Beihong should be aware of his Little Sister's situation. Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "I am an old friend of Yan Beihong's. One of my reasons for coming here is to pay him a visit. May I meet with him?"
"So you are Yan Beihong's friend. However, I'm afraid Cave Master Miao has come to the wrong place."
"Why do you say that? Isn't he a disciple of your sect? "
Deacon Liu chuckled, "Yan Beihong is currently the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Azure Cloud in the Suppressing Noon Hall of the Sky Palace, Heaven's Equal Manor of Sky Palace. He is overseeing the area. Isn't Cave Master Miao looking for the wrong place?"
Miao Yi sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard this. "Yan Beihong has become a Mountain Chieftain?"
He was confident that his cultivation speed was already fast enough. He was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't tell anyone about it. He didn't expect Yan Beihong to have already become a Mountain Chieftain. He wondered if his cultivation was higher than his.
"Yes!" Deacon Liu nodded. "If Cave Master Miao wishes to look for Yan Beihong, I'm afraid you will have to spend another two days making a trip to Mount Azure Cloud."
"Thank you for your guidance, Deacon Liu!" After Miao Yi asked for directions in detail, he cupped his fists in thanks and took his leave.
He then leapt onto his horse and quickly led his men away.
Unexpectedly, before Miao Yi could pursue the matter of Luo Shuangfei's lies, Luo Shuangfei approached him and asked, "Cave Master. Who is Lu Xuexin? For you to be so obsessed with her, is she very beautiful?"
"Luo Shuangfei. Don't you think you talk a little too much?"
"Why are you being so petty? It's not like I'm going to steal from you."
Miao Yi gritted his teeth. He was a little doubtful whether it was the right decision to recruit this guy. Should he just stab him to death with his spear and be done with it...
Two days later, the group finally arrived at the Mount Azure Cloud that Deacon Liu had mentioned.
It was different from the Glorious Cloud Sect. The Glorious Cloud Sect had over ten thousand disciples guarding it. Mount Azure Cloud couldn't possibly have so many people, because they couldn't afford it.
Miao Yi leading so many people here was obviously a threat to Mount Azure Cloud. Before he even got close, the Mount Azure Cloud troops were already on high alert.
By the time the cultivators at the mountain gate stopped Miao Yi's group, Miao Yi could already see dozens of troops waiting for orders.
"Who goes there?" the cultivator guarding the gate bellowed.
Miao Yi's group naturally wouldn't force their way in. After all, they weren't here to attack, so they all stopped outside the mountain gate.
Miao Yi ignored the cultivator's question. He cast his gaze straight at the dozens of troops gathered behind the mountain gate, and his gaze fell on the person in the lead.
That person was dressed in a dark red robe and had a well-built physique. His black hair was unbound and draped over his back, fluttering in the wind. His eyes were bright and piercing, and his beard was untouched. Sitting atop his dragon steed, he exuded an extraordinary aura, especially the dark red robe he was wearing, which gave him a faint sense of dominance.
Miao Yi immediately recognized that it was Yan Beihong. However, the current Yan Beihong was no longer as dejected as before. His aura had greatly changed.
"Who goes there?" the cultivator guarding the gate shouted again.
Miao Yi continued to ignore him. He was excited to see an old friend who he had gone through life and death with again. He waved his hand and shouted, "Big Brother Yan, do you still recognize me?"
As soon as he said this, the cultivator guarding the gate was taken aback and turned around to look.
Yan Beihong felt that Miao Yi looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
