Chapter 113: There are always more solutions than difficulties

The disciples of each peak finally let out a relieved breath; this is what life in an immortal sect should be like.

Every day they are free of desire, carefree; who would be like the Divine Sword Peak disciples, each one crazy, cultivating desperately, taking on missions desperately, even fighting over demon horses desperately.

They have not a trace of immortal bearing.

Compared to the disciples of the various peaks, the Law Enforcement Hall and Mission Hall are obviously much happier.

Not seeing the usually stern chief seat Second Elder Shi Song, his face has shown many more smiles these days.

In his leisure, he still has the mood to drink tea in the courtyard.

"How have things been lately?"

"Since the Divine Sword Peak disciples went to Jinhai Yingdi, the sect's interior has indeed become much quieter."

Hearing this, Shi Song nodded in satisfaction.

"That's good; these brats should be sent to Jinhai Yingdi to suffer a bit, letting the water tribes put some pressure on them."

"That's what the hall master said."

In Shi Song's view, the Divine Sword Peak disciples going to Jinhai Yingdi is certainly not as comfortable as staying in the sect.

But this suits him just fine; the sect has been in an uproar, and now going to Jinhai Yingdi to face those water tribes—do you think it's still like being in the sect?

They certainly won't show you any mercy.

Shi Song's idea is indeed not bad; the situation in Jinhai Yingdi and inside the sect is indeed different, only he got it backwards.

Inside the sect, the Divine Sword Peak disciples still held back, but once they reached Jinhai Yingdi, it was truly—high sky for birds to fly, wide sea for fish to leap.

Completely unaware of what was happening in Jinhai Yingdi, but at this moment the steward who had spoken earlier opened his mouth and said.

"However, recently the Jade Maiden Peak disciples have been acting strangely."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I can't put it exactly, but recently the frequency of Jade Maiden Peak disciples going out has increased a lot, all using missions as an excuse, and the mission locations are almost all in the direction of Jinhai Yingdi."

"As of today, more than half of the Jade Maiden Peak disciples have left the sect."

Hearing this, Shi Song frowned, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, and quickly asked.

"How many missions do they take at once?"

"Taking missions is normal; almost always just one, occasionally two, and they don't pick only the easy ones."

Hearing that, Shi Song finally breathed a sigh of relief; after all, how could Jade Maiden Peak become like Divine Sword Peak? Bai Hua Junior Sister is far more reliable than that old drunkard.

"If they're taking missions normally, then there's no need to worry about it."

Not thinking much about it, probably just a coincidence.

To that, the steward also nodded in agreement and then respectfully withdrew.

He gave not a thought to the Jade Maiden Peak's affairs, unaware that at this moment, on the road from Dao Yi Sect to Jinhai Yingdi, many Jade Maiden Peak disciples were traveling together.

"Senior sister, how much farther?"

"Soon, at most another half day and we'll reach Jinhai Yingdi."

"So slow."

"Nonsense, you think it's the sect's starship? A flying boat is naturally slow."

"This time going to Jinhai Yingdi, I'll stay a full month, eat my fill before returning."

"At most a week, otherwise the master will surely notice."

"Ah, only a week."

"No choice, after returning to the sect and resting two days, I'll take on a few more missions."

"That's all we can do."

Since returning to the sect, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples have been scheming how to get a meal from Junior Brother Chang Qing.

Finally, these little fairies still took the old path of Divine Sword Peak—that is, taking missions.

After all, they are fairies, not as unrestrained as the Divine Sword Peak disciples; when taking missions they are quite honest, with just one demand: that the mission scope must be in the direction of Jinhai Yingdi.

The idea is simple: have an excuse to leave the sect, complete a mission, and most importantly, get to eat Junior Brother Chang Qing's food.

But there's one thing: these little fairies think too simply, assuming that just reaching Jinhai Yingdi means they can eat a meal, which is overthinking it.

In Divine Sword Peak, eating a meal is a sacred matter—not just anyone can have that honor; one can only possibly earn that bowl of food through trials of blood and fire.

Poor little fairies, they don't know that; they merely fantasize that upon arriving at Jinhai Yingdi they will beautifully enjoy Junior Brother Chang Qing's cooking.

However, in their longing for food, two people are not lacking at all—the two old men on Divine Sword Peak.

Hong Zun's Dong Fu, Qing Shi strode in, his expression grim, and as soon as he entered he shouted loudly.

"Old drunkard, I can't stand it—just a few days, and I have to wait a year? How could that work?"

"Then go to Jinhai Yingdi."

To that, Hong Zun gave him a disdainful glance, saying as if he himself could endure it.

Hearing that, Qing Shi spoke displeased.

"When I first joined Dao Yi Sect, it was entirely for Little Chang Qing; now that Little Chang Qing is gone, I——"

"Then just quit; I won't stop you."

But before Qing Shi could finish, Hong Zun cut him off directly.

"Quit? That's impossible; now you want me to quit after all this? You're talking nonsense."

He plopped down beside Hong Zun, poured himself a cup of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

"How about we stand guard outside Jinhai Yingdi and have those brats bring out food for us?"

Sounds like a decent idea, but Hong Zun paid no heed, not even getting up, still lounging lazily on the Tǎng yǐ.

"I really wonder how you've lived to this day, letting those rebellious disciples bring you food? Do you think they could actually manage it?"

Too naive; hearing that, Qing Shi also thought it impossible, and for a moment the two old fellows fell silent, sighs occasionally echoing in the courtyard.

I don't know how long passed; a light in Hong Zun's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had thought of something; he suddenly sat up straight and earnestly looked toward Qing Shi.

Do you want to go into Jinhai Yingdi?

Nonsense, of course I want to. Going in lets me see Changqing Xiaozi and have a meal.

Then we'll go in.

You've got water in your brain—can we even get into Jinhai Yingdi?

Who says we can't get in?

Gazing deep and lingering at Qing Shi, facing Hong Zun's stare, Qing Shi initially had no reaction; after a moment, he suddenly snapped awake, looking at Hong Zun with an incredulous expression.

You mean to............

Hehe, this is the only way.

But this thing isn't easy to find.

Hundred Grass Peak has Bury Bone Pills, and I recall you seem to know the Sect Master of the Formation Sect.

Upon hearing Hong Zun's words, Qing Shi's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Hong Zun grinned, and Qing Shi also showed a sly, experienced smile; the two old foxes gathered together, laughing happily to the extreme.

Sure, Lao Jiu Gui, you've thought of this method.

Hehe, there are always more solutions than difficulties; as long as you're willing to think, there will be a way to resolve it.

Those rebellious disciples think a mere great formation can stop me; this old man has lived so many years—if I can't even deal with a few rebellious disciples, then I might as well have lived in vain, kie kie........

Kie kie kie..........
