Chapter 1287 - 22: Longyan’s Achievement! An Ye’s Return (Part 2)

The woman in a light purple dress nodded contentedly, "Well done. Junior Martial Aunt Ruobing should be pleased when she sees it."

Upon hearing this, the tension finally eased from the disciples.

One slightly older disciple bravely asked, "Lady Xinrui, did Miss Ruobing ever mention how these flowers are propagated? Seed or bulb propagation? I noticed this Blue Purple Phoenix Bell Flower seems more resistant to Evil Qi than ordinary spirit plants. If we could propagate more, maybe one day we’d have a sea of flowers that Miss Ruobing would surely be pleased to see."

"It’s good to have ideas." The woman glanced at him, with an indifferent expression, "But remember, unless Junior Martial Aunt Ruobing gives orders, do not undertake extra tasks. If anything goes wrong, you could risk your life. Understand?"

The disciple hesitated for a moment before quickly bowing his head in agreement, "Yes, disciple understands."

As they spoke, the restriction of the inner courtyard suddenly opened, and a figure pushed the door open and walked out.

The figure was dressed in a plain white long dress, exuding a cool aura, seemingly carrying an innate Immortal Aura, and emanating a powerful Ice Evil Qi, making hearts tremble even from afar.

This figure, who else could it be but Wang Longyan?

"Junior Martial Aunt Ruobing." The woman in purple brightened and hurriedly greeted her with a respectful bow, saying, "Your retreat must have been exhausting. I’ve specially prepared ’Ice Frost Cake’ for you, which contains Yin Spiritual Medicine to consolidate cultivation, nourish the body, and soothe the mind. I’ll have it brought to you immediately."

"Hmm." Wang Longyan nodded to her, saying indifferently, "You’ve worked hard managing the manor these last few days."

This woman was sent to her by Qee Hongzhao, named "Wuu Xinrui", reportedly a disciple of Deputy Sect Leader Yin Fengtu, specifically to help manage some daily affairs.

Initially, Wang Longyan was quite uncomfortable and even refused, as she couldn’t bring herself to treat a Great Celestial Pride as a maid. But alas, this was the custom in the Yin Sha Sect; if she rejected her, the Elders would think Wuu Xinrui wasn’t serving adequately, which would lead to her punishment.

This was the logic of the Yin Sha Sect, where the hierarchy was extremely clear, unlike the harmonious relationship between master and disciple in the Lingyun Sacred Land.

Furthermore, even without Wuu Xinrui, another direct disciple would be sent. Wang Longyan’s noble status demanded attendants, and those female disciples lacking talent were unqualified to serve her.

Wang Longyan had no choice and gradually adapted. Over time, she slowly became familiar with it.

"It’s not hard, not at all." Wuu Xinrui’s smile was gentle and sincere, "It’s a blessing to serve Junior Martial Aunt Ruobing."

Speaking of which, the disciples of the Yin Sha Sect came forward to salute as well, respectful to the point of near obsequiousness.

The hierarchy within the Yin Sha Sect was incredibly strict, positions and status clearly defined, and any disrespect towards those of higher status could threaten one’s life. Hence, the disciples conducted themselves with utmost caution.

Wang Longyan nodded to them, exchanged a few words with Wuu Xinrui, then looked at the Blue Purple Phoenix Bell Flowers in the flower beds, nodding in satisfaction, "Well maintained. It seems you’ve indeed put in quite a bit of effort."

Wuu Xinrui smiled, tucking back a strand of hair by her ear, "It’s good if Junior Martial Aunt Ruobing is pleased. You are the future saintess of our Yin Sha Sect, nobly deserving, and serving you is our duty."

Wang Longyan nodded without further comment. After all, these Blue Purple Bell Flowers had nothing to do with her old home, Changning Guard, so she naturally bore no true affection. The so-called hometown was merely fabricated.

Nevertheless, the girl responsible for her background story detailed the arrangements meticulously.

At this time, the maid had already brought the Ice Frost Cake.

Wuu Xinrui personally set up the table and chairs, brewed tea, allowing her to savor the flowers while enjoying the snacks.

Having spent some time together, she had become familiar with Wang Longyan’s personality, knowing she wasn’t talkative but enjoyed lively surroundings, and thus casually shared some interesting tales she’d heard while pouring tea.

Wang Longyan listened absentmindedly, occasionally nodding and responding, simultaneously sorting and extracting useful information from her tales.

Although no one had arranged tasks for her, she was quite busy.

Her focus was on two main endeavors.

Firstly, was naturally cultivation.

Her principal reason for coming to the Yin Sha Sect was to acquire the Yin Sha Treasure Manual, so cultivation was paramount.

Since becoming the direct disciple of the Sect Leader Qee Hongzhao, he’d entrusted her with the first half of the Yin Sha Treasure Manual’s cultivation technique. She’s been studying this technique and trying to practice it, discovering the compatibility to be quite high, allowing concurrent cultivation with the Profound Ice Phoenix Suffering Technique.

Within the technique, there’s even a separate Chapter specifically explaining various bloodlines and how Black Tortoise cultivators originally practicing other techniques can transition and integrate their cultivation.

Evidently, for a treasure manual of this level, her situation appears quite common.

Additionally, Qee Hongzhao had also provided her with a cultivation insight reportedly from one of the past Demon Monarchs of the Yin Sha Sect, who cultivated the same Ice Evil Power, offering valuable reference.
