Seeing Yang Yanâs reaction, Elder Dugu immediately put on a cheerful face, exuding the demeanor of a sagely figure.
He habitually stroked his long beard and said airily:
"Otherwise, otherwise! Her realm is indeed no different, but you canât deny she has a good father!"
Alright, blame it on the nepotism clan.
Yang Yan gave a helpless, bitter laugh and cupped his hands toward Elder Dugu:
"Elder Dugu, then letâs set off early tomorrow! No need to bring fellow disciples along. Itâll suffice for Zimu and me to go, no need to make such a big fuss."
Elder Dugu put up a helpless stance again and sighed, saying, "My agreement is useless, this matter at least needs the Sect Leaderâs consent."
Alright!
Thereâs no way around it.
Yang Yan sighed helplessly.
Afterward, Elder Dugu bade farewell to Lin Zimu one by one.
Because Yang Yan had already moved to the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, the residences here were all for female disciples.
In their words, it was inappropriate to stay overnight at Yang Yanâs place.
That night, Yang Yan slipped out to find Sect Leader Lin An, and after getting permission, he also received a token.
Tomorrow, he had to personally select ten Inner Sect Disciples and ten Outer Sect Disciples, along with two major stewards, for Yang Yan to leave the sect.
It wasnât that Lin An wanted it so, itâs just that because of Yang Yan being a Sacred Body, Wandering Dragon Star had become quite tumultuous now.
As the most important person involved, Yang Yanâs safety was a matter the Ancient Abyss Sect must consider.
As for letting disciples train alone outside, to be self-reliant, itâs really just talk.
Have you ever seen a core disciple from a big sect venturing out without protective spiritual treasures and several sect experts?
Training is really just for ordinary disciples!
Early the next morning, just as the sky began to show a touch of pale color, a proud female voice came from outside the Slaughter Hall: "Dead Yang Yan, get up! Come with me to find the accompanying disciples!"
By this domineering tone, Yang Yan didnât need to guess who came.
Throughout the entire Ancient Abyss Sect, probably only the Little Witch Guo Guoguo dared to speak to him this way.
Similarly possessing great individuality, and stubborn yet pliable, how could Yang Yan possibly follow her lead!
Thus, although Yang Yan had already woken up, he exaggeratedly yawned, then put both hands comfortably behind his head, leisurely strolling out of the Butcher Palace.
He didnât care what Miss Guo was complaining about inside.
"Hey... ouchâtake it easy, let go!"
Yang Yan was startled in place, flew a few meters away, before escaping Guo Guoguoâs grip on his ear.
"This little girl, doesnât know her own strength!"
Yang Yan inwardly grumbled and, turning his head, saw Gu Sheng staring blankly at him.
Oh no, did he just see that embarrassing scene?!
Yang Yan secretly resented, exaggeratedly rolled his eyes, and uncharacteristically showed some authority to Gu Sheng: "Still watching? Go make some tea!"
Gu Sheng then seemed to awaken from a dream, accompanied by a smile, quickly running back into the Butcher Palace.
Itâs really not his fault!
Just when he saw Guo Guoguo coming over, he wanted to go inside the Butcher Palace to inform Yang Yan.
But who knew, this missy actually shouted outside without caring about her status!
Seeing his young master coming out, he naturally couldnât say more, just serving at the side.
He couldnât have imagined, this missy couldnât bear Yang Yanâs deliberately casual attitude, and actually went directly to pinch his ear!
Helping either side would offend someone!
Moreover, neither Yang Yan nor Guo Guoguo were people Gu Sheng could afford to offend.
Helpless, he could only quietly watch from the sidelines.
Then he saw that scene he shouldnât have, almost getting caught in the crossfire.
Fortunately, his young master was magnanimous and wouldnât really mind these little things.
Gu Sheng sighed in relief while skillfully brewing tea, then came out to respectfully serve it to the glaring duo.
"Hmph! You didnât take my words seriously!" Guo Guoguo rudely took a sip from the teacup, glaring fiercely at Yang Yan and mocking.
Yang Yan circulated his energy for a while, only then did his ear feel a bit better.
He almost couldnât help but suspect that this young lady in front of him often twisted sect disciplesâ ears and had long been practiced at it.
"Alright, Junior Sister Guo, look, Iâm up, right? We should go and meet with the others!" Yang Yan eagerly changed the topic.
Encountering a girl like Guo Guoguo, it truly feels like a scholar facing a soldierâs logic; he didnât want to give her any more room to act.
Just as he put down the teacup, Yang Yan sensed a group of not so weak disciples coming toward his Butcher Palace from the sky.
When they landed and saw that the leader was Senior Brother Lin Zimu, Yang Yan understood that these should be the arranged accompanying disciples.
"Yang." Lin Zimu cupped his hands toward Yang Yan, smiling as he greeted.
"Zimu." Yang Yan also smiled and returned the gesture to Lin Zimu, seemingly reproachfully asking, "Didnât we say not to bring people from the sect?"
Lin Zimu replied helplessly, "After all, it concerns Yang, a basic preparation is still necessary. These disciples are considered our sectâs elite, should be useful."
"Of course, there are also some disciples who really want to see what the Saint Sonâs hometown is like!"
After saying so, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally, and some young female disciples blushed slightly and lowered their heads a bit.
Yang Yan listened and didnât comment, but on the side, Guo Guoguo shamelessly chimed in:
"Itâs all well, taking some disciples out to broaden their horizons is better than only knowing cultivation all day."
"Just, donât pick the wrong ones. If something goes wrong, not only will it be useless, but will also burden the Saint Son!"
The term "Saint Son" was deliberately elongated by her, full of jealousy.
This girl worried about someone competing with her!?
Upon hearing these words, the disciples couldnât help but understand the hostility in the words.
The few female disciples then involuntarily stepped back.
How could they engage when the speaker was none other than the Sect Leaderâs daughter?
Seeing the situation wasnât right, Yang Yan frowned and finally spoke: "Anyone who feels the need for outside training, step forward."
Scanning the group of disciples, seeing them looking at each other with no movement, Yang Yan couldnât help but grin bitterly and added: "Or if anyone wants to get some fresh air, youâre also welcome."
Guo Guoguo, hearing Yang Yan say this, angrily rolled her eyes at him.
This rascal, making it sound like a tourism trip.
Even if he didnât take her Guo Guoguo seriously, he should take responsibility for his own safety!
Just as she thought, Guo Guoguo suddenly blushed...
Wait!
What does it mean even if he didnât take her seriously?
The more she thought about it, the more convoluted it seemed, so Guo Guoguo simply flicked her sleeve, gave Yang Yan a glare: "Hmph! You deal with it yourself; Iâm going to find Elder Dugu!"
With this said, Miss Guo stomped her foot heavily, leapt into the air, and disappeared directly.
Watching her disappear in that direction, Yang Yan had a wry smile in his heart.
Ah! What was that all about?
Examining the group of people carefully again, Yang Yan realized that aside from Lin Zimu and Liu Yizheng, the rest were almost strangers.
