"Oh, so it's Junior Sister Zhen Xuan."
Wang Tao said with a fake smile.
He had entered the sect much older than Ying Zhenxuan. If it was before his father disappeared, he definitely wouldn't have dared to treat a golden immortal's daughter like this.
At that time, the Missing Moon Peak was not as declining as it was now. Now, the Old Peak Master of the Missing Moon Peak was just an Early-stage Heaven Immortal who was about to reach the end of his lifespan. Although his Master Ye Tian was also an Early-stage Heaven Immortal, he was in his prime. The two of them could not be compared.
"Wang Tao, what are you doing here?!"
Ying Zhenxuan frowned.
She really couldn't figure out why Golden Sun Peak's Wang Tao would gather with Foreign Affairs Hall Master Huang Tong, Liu He, and the others in the courtyard where the sweeping disciples lived.
"There's just a disciple who offended his superior. Hall Master Huang Tong asked me to capture him for questioning. Junior Sister Zhen Xuan, you don't have to care about such a small matter, right?"
Wang Tao smiled.
After a pause, he continued, "Junior Sister Zhen Xuan, do you need help concocting pills? You can bring these five sweeping disciples with you. As for me, I don't need Junior Sister Zhen Xuan to receive me. I'll wait here for that sweeping disciple to return. "
Sweeping disciple?
Ying Zhenxuan's gaze swept across. Missing Moon Peak had six sweeping disciples, which was a pitiful number compared to all the other peaks. Ning Qi wasn't here, so Ying Zhenxuan knew who Wang Tao was targeting. She looked at Huang Tong, pointed at Hua Yu, and turned to leave.
Hua Yu looked at Huang Tong with a pale face.
"What! Senior Sister Zhen Xuan is giving you face by asking you to concoct pills. Hurry up and go. What are you looking at me for? "
Huang Tong's face turned cold.
"Yes."
Hua Yu nodded with a sad face and chased after Ying Zhenxuan.
"Senior Brother Wang Tao, Big Senior Sister, she …" Liu He and the rest didn't say anything. After Ying Zhenxuan left, they looked at Wang Tao with trepidation. Even a blind man could tell that there was something wrong with Wang Tao's attitude towards Ying Zhenxuan just now. Yet, they didn't say a word and didn't respond.
When Ying Zhenxuan left, they were still standing with Wang Tao …
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a mere disciple sweeping the floor. Junior Sister Zhen Xuan knows what's important. How could she quarrel with me over a mere disciple sweeping the floor?"
Wang Tao glanced at Liu He and the others in disdain. "The Spiritual Qi in your Moonless Peak is thin. After this is over, follow me to the Golden Sun Peak. I happen to need a few people to pour tea for me." When Liu He, Bai Jing, and the others heard this, they were shocked and looked at Wang Tao in disbelief. If they could go to the Golden Sun Peak to serve tea, it would be many times better than staying at the Moonless Peak! It was because they didn't have any connections that they couldn't leave the Missing Moon Peak. Who would have thought that Wang Tao would actually accept him today?
Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Huang Tong's eyes revealed a trace of jealousy. Although his cultivation was higher than Liu He and the rest, he didn't even have the qualifications to serve them tea. After all, his cultivation would probably stop at the Human Immortal Stage for the rest of his life. On the other hand, Liu He and the rest had the possibility of becoming Earthly Immortals or even Heavenly Immortals.
"What, you don't want to?"
Wang Tao sneered.
"We're willing, we're willing!"
Liu He and Bai Jing immediately knelt on the ground and pledged their loyalty to Wang Tao in front of the rest of the Moonless Peak disciples.
When the rest saw this, other than Junior Brother Fan, even the seven or eight Moonless Peak disciples mustered up their courage and asked to join the Golden Sun Peak.
Unexpectedly, Wang Tao accepted them all. Only Senior Brother Fan hesitated and didn't say anything. Wang Tao looked at him mockingly. "What about you?"
"I'm used to staying at the Moonless Peak. Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, for your kindness."
Senior Brother Fan laughed dryly and cupped his hands.
"I hope you won't regret it."
Wang Tao sneered.
"This person can't be offended …"
Huang Tong felt a chill in his heart. He was experienced and could naturally tell that Wang Tao was purposely angering Ying Zhenxuan because of her bad attitude.
However, this also indirectly proved that the Moonless Peak's luck was running out. This could be seen from Ying Zhenxuan's crazed learning of alchemy!
In reality, Ying Zhenxuan was trying to extend the fate of the Moonless Peak. He hoped to rely on his alchemy skills to increase the number of people in the Moonless Peak, or at least not decrease! Everyone in the Xuanjian sect could see through his goal, but they all knew that Ying Zhenxuan did not have the talent to refine pills, and could not even refine his life immortal flame, so how could he refine pills? Just by relying on a middle grade immortal weapon, Flame Fan? At most, he would only be able to refine some low level immortal pills, which would not be of much help to the Moonless Peak.
It was too much help!
"Huang Tong, why aren't you going to do your work?"
Wang Tao looked at Huang Tong coldly.
"Yes, I will go now."
Huang Tong nodded and turned to leave.
The Golden Sun Peak's outer disciples who came with Wang Tao to watch the show also bid farewell to Wang Tao and left. Since the main character wasn't here, they didn't want to stay even a second longer in the Missing Moon Peak where the Spirit Qi was thin.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this time, Hua Yu returned to the courtyard covered in injuries, but they were all superficial wounds. His face revealed a look of resentment and lingering fear. Wang Tao and the others were still waiting for news in the courtyard.
Seeing that, Hua Yu thought to himself, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come back. If I were to stay with Wang Tao and the others, I would have to be on tenterhooks all day.
Not long after, Huang Tong brought a few stewards from the Hall of Foreign Affairs to the courtyard with conflicted expressions.
"What is it? It's been a month, and you still haven't found a mere sweeping disciple?
"Wang Tao's expression was slightly mocking, but a trace of suspicion flashed past his heart. Could it be that the other party was afraid of him, so he found a chance to sneak out of the Xuanjian sect?
This was a big deal. Because of this, his identity would change from a sweeping disciple to a traitor! Without the permission of the sect, the disciples of the Xuanjian sect were not allowed to leave the sect without permission! "Senior apprentice-brother Wang, I have already mobilized all the sweeping disciples on the mountain peaks to search for that guy's whereabouts, but they all said that they had never seen Ning Beixuan before. I even personally went to ask Elder Sword about it, and Elder Sword said that Ning Beixuan had gone to the Sword House a while ago and then left.
"When …"
Huang Tong sized up Wang Tao's expression as he said carefully.
"When did he go to the Sword House?"
Wang Tao frowned.
Huang Tong said a date, but Liu He immediately said, "At that time, he was still here. It was at that time that the two of us were …"
At this point, Liu He could not continue. This matter was too embarrassing!
"A mere early stage human immortal disappeared from our Xuanjian sect just like that?"
Wang Tao coldly snorted. Just as Huang Tong was about to speak, a sound came from the door of the house that Ning Qi was in. Following that, the door opened, and Ning Qi, who everyone had been searching for more than a month, appeared in front of everyone. Looking at Wang Tao and the others indifferently, Huang Tong vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a trace of ridicule in Ning Qi's eyes. No.
He didn't know if it was his imagination …
