Chapter 26: The Rules of Descending the Mountain
Today was the day He Youzhou took his disciples down the mountain.
However, this time was different from before. He had a new disciple by his side.
He solemnly closed the gate in front of the Tianyan Sect’s mountain.
Although closing this gate was useless, as others could easily bypass it to enter the Tianyan Sect, their sect did not have a so-called mountain protection formation.
But the sense of ritual was still necessary.
“Alright, let’s go down the mountain.” He Youzhou said, walking ahead with his sleeves folded.
Chisato and Yulan seemed to exchange a glance, then simultaneously looked at He Youzhou’s back with doting eyes.
Previously, Yulan didn’t understand why Chisato would occasionally look at their master with such doting eyes, but after practicing at Tianyan Sect for a while, she understood.
Their master was quite an adorable person, not just in appearance, but also in personality.
Yulan had always thought that highly cultivated practitioners would be old and decrepit, but He Youzhou shattered all her previous stereotypes.
In short, he was very adorable, but most of the time, you wouldn’t feel that this adorableness affected his dignity.
Their master could make both men and women crave his body just with his face, and combined with this contradictory temperament, it was simply a killer combination.
Yulan could fully understand why her senior sister was so infatuated with their master—such powerful hardware, and the software was so versatile.
You might say that He Youzhou was merely a Foundation Establishment stage practitioner, not a highly cultivated practitioner?
Anyone who, like Yulan, had felt the terrifying pressure He Youzhou exuded and the insurmountable mountain-like presence of his back would never say such naive words.
Her senior sister hadn’t told her the specific reason, but she guessed that their master’s current Foundation Establishment stage was definitely not his full strength.
To be honest, she was very much looking forward to seeing her master at full power.
After all, she had already joined He Youzhou’s sect, so it was normal to want to see her master’s skills.
“By the way, since we’re going down the mountain, remember to follow some of the mortals’ rules.”
He Youzhou said lazily.
“First, don’t fly around everywhere on the road.”
“If a mortal child looks five years old, then he really is five years old. As for the situation of body possession, don’t even consider it.”
“The places where things are sold might be a bit dirty, but bear with it, this is normal in the marketplace.”
“Here, they use money, not spirit stones.”
“And also, don’t lose your qualification to participate because of unnecessary things.”
He Youzhou earnestly said many things to his two female disciples.
This nagging appearance made Yulan truly feel that her master was an elderly person.
“Master, if someone harasses us, should we endure it too?” Yulan asked curiously.
“Beat them up,” He Youzhou and Chisato answered in unison.
“Ah…?” Yulan had thought her master would tell them not to bully the weak, but she didn’t expect such a straightforward answer.
“Yulan, what are you thinking? We are a demonic sect, do you think we are a righteous sect?” He Youzhou looked at his second disciple with a shocked expression.
Could it be that her second disciple still thought she had joined a righteous sect?
“Since we are called a demonic sect, why follow those messy rules of the righteous sects?” He asked Yulan, “Do you think if we follow the rules of the righteous sects, they will say we are not a demonic sect?”
“I see.” Yulan smiled, her master really gave her a good answer.
“Alright, Yulan, remember the rules I just mentioned, don’t forget.” He Youzhou said seriously.
“Pfft.” Yulan couldn’t help but laugh, “Master, I know all these rules, don’t you remember, I just came up the mountain not long ago.”
“Disciple hasn’t stayed on the mountain for too long.” She covered her mouth and chuckled, “Not to the extent of forgetting such things.”
Previously, Yulan always referred to herself as a disciple, but unconsciously, she started calling herself a pupil.
It’s quite miraculous when you think about it. She no longer felt any estrangement between herself and her master.
Although she hadn’t reached the point of complete trust, it was indeed a miracle that she accepted Tianyan Sect in such a short time.
Even the strong urge to run away that she had at the beginning had completely disappeared.
Being a disciple at Tianyan Sect wasn’t bad at all, especially since she had a master who might bring her midnight snacks when she was bored.
“Seems like it.” He Youzhou raised his neck, recalling that Yulan hadn’t stayed on the mountain for too long either.
“But you still need to take good care of yourself when you go down the mountain, even as a cultivator.” He said, “If you need anything, just find me or Zhishi.”
“Understood, master.” Yulan bowed slightly and smiled.
“But I have a question.” She asked, “How exactly are we going to Bai City? Our Nanyu Mountain is quite far from Bai City.”
Yulan only remembered this now. It couldn’t be that they would walk all the way to Bai City, right? Her cultivation wasn’t advanced enough to shrink the ground into inches.
“You don’t need to worry about that.” He Youzhou called out softly, “Zhishi, summon it.”
“Yes, master.” Zhishi nodded.
The next second, thick fog rose, and a giant white snake danced in the mist.
The white snake, with a pair of huge red wings, stirred up gusts of strong wind.
Such a fierce Teng Snake, yet upon seeing Zhishi, it lowered its head and gently flicked its tongue in submission.
This Teng Snake was more than ten times larger than the one they used to deal with Qingshan Sect, and it could easily carry several people.
Yulan still remembered that the Teng Snake back then was only three or four times the size of a regular python. Why was it so big now?
Could it be that her senior sister held back at that time? Thinking of this, Yulan couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
“This is how we are going to Bai City.” He Youzhou said with a profound look.
He loved seeing others so surprised. It was so satisfying.
Is this one of the joys of being the protagonist of a cool novel? He felt it, and he wanted to experience other types of joy as well.
Unfortunately, pleasures like the “divorce flow” were no longer something he could experience.
Thinking this, He Youzhou gently took Yulan’s soft, boneless hand and led her onto the giant Teng Snake.
After realizing it, Yulan’s heart couldn’t help but warm up.
“What’s wrong?” He Youzhou didn’t understand why Yulan was dazed.
Could it be that she was still surprised by the Teng Snake?
“No… it’s nothing.” Yulan placed the hand that He Youzhou had held into her bosom and shook her head.
