Chapter 401

Ye Yu couldn’t understand why, but he always felt that Zheng Nuannxiu was particularly fond of recruiting people for their sect.

It was like this last time, and it was the same now.

He even felt that there was a strange excitement in her voice when she spoke.

Could it be that Zheng Nuannxiu is the legendary HR for the sect?

Does she just enjoy the happiness of recruiting people?

Ye Yu, feeling conflicted, asked, “Is your sect really so short of people?”

“Uh, why do you say that?”

Zheng Nuannxiu felt a bit abrupt.

So, she quickly explained, “Actually, our sect is extremely strict about recruiting people.

Only those with extraordinary strength can join.

And as for you, fellow cultivator, you casually killed an Immortal at the Profound Immortal realm.

You completely meet the criteria for recruitment, so I specially sent the invitation.”

“How about it? Think about joining my Exorcism Immortal Sect.”

Ye Yu forced out an awkward yet polite smile.

If it weren’t for his experience in the Dream Realm,

he might have almost believed it.

Extraordinary strength?

In the dream, Ye Yu, as a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, was just a newly ascended immortal.

At the lowest cultivation level.

But didn’t Zheng Nuannxiu still extend an invitation to him back then?

Now she’s talking about strict recruitment?

It’s laughable!

Without thinking too much,

Ye Yu ultimately rejected Zheng Nuannxiu.

“I’m not planning to join a sect at the moment! We can discuss it later!”

To be honest, if Ye Yu hadn’t met Shangguan Jiujiu,

he might have seriously considered joining Zheng Nuannxiu’s Exorcism Immortal Sect.

However, since Shangguan Jiujiu was around,

naturally, he would lean toward the Wuwei Tower.

It wasn’t about feeling any sense of belonging.

He just wanted to quietly guard the Immortal Empress and watch her rise step by step.

Finally becoming invincible in the Celestial Realm, and that’s it.

A small goal, but a goal nonetheless.

Ye Yu thought that with his words, Zheng Nuannxiu would give up.

But to his surprise, he had underestimated this immortal’s obsession.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to join for now. When you do decide, make sure to find me.

By the way, since you just arrived in the Celestial Realm, you don’t have a communication stone, right?

I’ll give you one, so we can stay in touch!”

With that, Zheng Nuannxiu took a communication stone from her storage ring and handed it to Ye Yu.

This left Ye Yu speechless.

Such an obsession, really no one can compare.

Hmm?

Is this the Celestial Realm’s communication stone?

It’s even foldable.

Impressive!

Truly keeping up with the times.

Afterward, Zheng Nuannxiu didn’t insist too much.

She taught Ye Yu how to use the stone and then left.

Before leaving, she repeatedly reminded him not to forget to consider her when he wanted to join the sect.

Ye Yu was truly speechless.

A few hours later.

Ye Yu, through the memories in the Dream Realm, found the location of Wuwei Tower.

Well, as expected, since it was manifested by the system,

it was exactly the same as in the Dream Realm.

He hoped Shangguan Jiujiu would have some spiritual connection with him.

Knowing that he was waiting there.

That would save him a lot of trouble.

But as it turned out,

Shangguan Jiujiu was not there.

Wuwei Tower was very empty, with not a single figure in sight.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

What’s going on?

Could it be that after Shangguan Jiujiu woke up from the Dream Realm, she didn’t come here?

Just as Ye Yu was pondering,

an unfamiliar voice appeared behind him.

“Who are you? Why did you trespass into my Wuwei Tower?”

Ye Yu turned around and saw Zhuo Lanqing walking toward him with a stern expression,

like a monarch guarding her territory.

At least, her expression was fitting.

The unfamiliar gaze and tone indicated that Zhuo Lanqing did not have any memory of the Dream Realm.

So, there was no explanation given.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

She simply said, “I accidentally entered this sacred land, by the way, fellow cultivator, do you know Shangguan Jiujiu? Do you know where she is?”

“Accidentally entered?”

Zhuo Lanqing turned her head to look behind her.

The sect’s protective formation was extremely strong, and anyone below the Earth Immortal realm would die if they trespassed.

But now, the formation was still running fine with no signs of damage.

Clearly, Ye Yu knew the incantations of the formation, which allowed him to easily enter.

Using the word “accidentally” would likely deceive no one, not even a three-year-old.

Wait, you know Shangguan Jiujiu?

And you could easily enter Wuwei Tower?

Zhuo Lanqing’s eyes immediately lit up.

She quickly walked forward and asked, “Are you Ye Yu?”

“You know me?”

Ye Yu was quite confused.

Zhuo Lanqing, seeing that he didn’t deny it, immediately smiled and said, “Not exactly, but I’ve heard Shangguan Jiujiu mention you.

Come, let me pour you some celestial tea, and we can talk slowly.”

Ye Yu was a bit dazed,

curiously looking at Zhuo Lanqing.

What’s going on here?

In the Dream Realm, Zhuo Lanqing had never been this friendly.

How come now, in reality, her attitude is so different?

In fact,

the reason Zhuo Lanqing was so friendly toward Ye Yu was also related to something.

According to Shangguan Jiujiu,

Wuwei Tower was established by the three of them—Zhuo Lanqing, Ye Yu, and herself.

However, Zhuo Lanqing didn’t participate in the construction.

With Shangguan Jiujiu’s peak True Immortal realm cultivation, she couldn’t have created such a powerful sect formation.

The only explanation

was that this sect was created by Ye Yu.

In the end,

he was the real host of this place.

Whether this explanation was correct or not,

Zhuo Lanqing believed it to be true.

Now that she was very satisfied with Wuwei Tower,

she naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship with the host.

That’s why she was acting so warmly.

In the Wuwei Tower’s great hall,

Zhuo Lanqing explained everything that had happened during this period in great detail.

It turned out that not only did Shangguan Jiujiu come here,

but even the Battle Sky Black Ape, A Kong, had come as well.

They had waited here for some time,

but when they didn’t see Ye Yu return,

they concluded that they couldn’t sit idly by any longer.

They immediately left and began searching for Ye Yu.

After hearing this,

Ye Yu furrowed his brows.

So, I missed them?

Damn it, if the Mind-Searching Ring hadn’t been damaged, this wouldn’t have happened.

But now, it was pointless to dwell on this.

The only thing left was to think about the future path.

Seeing Ye Yu silent,

Zhuo Lanqing pushed the celestial tea toward him again.

“Ye Yu, fellow cultivator, I heard Shangguan Jiujiu say that we three created this sect together.

And she made me the sect leader of Wuwei Tower.

What do you think, is it appropriate?”

Her tone seemed like she was asking a question, but the eager desire to be affirmed was already written on her face.

Seeing this, Ye Yu softly replied, “It’s quite appropriate. Since the idea for Wuwei Tower came from you, you should naturally be the sect leader!”

Upon hearing this,

Zhuo Lanqing nearly smiled her face off.

She quickly said, “Then I’ll do as you say.

But there’s something I’m really curious about. Why did Shangguan Jiujiu say that this sect was created by the three of us,

but I have no memory of it?

And also, I should be meeting you for the first time, right?

Why do I feel like I know you?”
