Chapter 315: Chapter 245: Don’t Rush to Give Up
After receiving Master Yun Shu’s information, Yusheng, who had been repeatedly urged by Li Ancheng’s Sound Transmission Talisman, immediately grabbed Jia Shanchuan and rushed to North Forest Peak at the fastest speed.
Though they were quick, Tongtian Sect was located among countless mountains, covering an extremely vast area. Even for two Nascent Soul cultivators flying at full strength, it took them most of the day to reach the base of North Forest Peak.
They set off late, and by the time they arrived, it was already the dim light of early morning.
Normally, the mountains where cultivators reside are protected by formations, and North Forest Peak was no exception.
After Yusheng and Jia Shanchuan, the two demons, arrived at the base of North Forest Peak, they didn’t encounter Master Yun Shu but ran into the Enforcement Hall monks who came to “confiscate” the rights to use the mountain.
There were many monks in Tongtian Sect, and Yusheng didn’t recognize these few.
He only saw that the one leading them had an extremely thick aura, his cultivation level was above Divinity Transformation, probably in the Void Refinement Realm!
The others were all at the Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivation levels.
Yusheng stood with his hands in his sleeves, silently observing with Jia Shanchuan.
Yusheng had grown up in the Immortal Sect since he was a child. His vision was extraordinary, and he was used to seeing the highly-touted Divinity Transformation ancestors and Void Refinement powerhouses in the sect.
The Enforcement Hall’s Void Refinement cultivator shouted loudly at the base of North Forest Peak, ordering Master Yun Shu to come forward to accept punishment and hand over the rights to North Forest Peak!
But the entire North Forest Peak was silent; it was as though Master Yun Shu wasn’t at home.
After chastising for half an hour, the Void Refinement cultivator of Enforcement Hall huffed and said, “Well, if so much shouting doesn’t make Yun Shu show herself, she must not be within this peak. It seems we’ve come in vain this time, hmph, we can only wait for her to return to the peak to cultivate, and we’ll visit again, making sure she admits her guilt and accepts punishment!”
After the group from Enforcement Hall said their goodbyes, Jia Shanchuan pulled Yusheng forward.
Yusheng asked curiously, “Old Jia, if Master Yun Shu isn’t here, why are we still here?”
Jia Shanchuan burst out laughing and said, “Let’s wait until the Void Refinement elder has walked a bit farther, so as to not cause him to lose face.”
His words, overly strong with inner energy, allowed the Enforcement Hall group, who had yet to walk far, to hear everything clearly.
The few Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly looked towards the Void Refinement monk.
The Void Refinement cultivator kept a straight face, expressionless, but inwardly he was awkwardly searching for a three-bedroom, one-living room place to stay.
It wasn’t his first time coming to find Master Yun Shu, but what use was there in him coming? If Master Yun Shu’s own father couldn’t control her, what could he, a mere Void Refinement, do?
Each visit to the base of North Forest Peak was nothing more than a gesture to show that the Enforcement Hall was still working.
Not far away, the Void Refinement monk coughed lightly, and Jia Shanchuan’s smile instantly froze on his face, then he couldn’t muster up a smile at all.
Half an hour later, Yusheng, who received another Sound Transmission Talisman, couldn’t take it anymore.
“Old Jia, the Enforcement Hall group has really gone far now!”
Only after Jia Shanchuan confirmed that the Enforcement Hall Void Refinement monk was far away did he feel relieved, and he imitated the Enforcement Hall’s style to greet, “Junior Jia Shanchuan, along with my friend Yusheng, pays respect to Master Yun Shu.”
“I’m not here.”
A light and gentle voice, like the tinkling of wind chimes, floated down from North Forest Peak.
Her voice was beautiful, but her tone contained a hint of annoyance.
It was evident that she was irritated by the people from Enforcement Hall.
Jia Shanchuan said, “It’s over, we unluckily ran into Enforcement Hall; it seems we have no chance today. Shall we come back in a week?”
Yusheng shook his head repeatedly, not to mention a week, even one more day would get him nagged to death by Liang Kingdom.
If Master Yun Shu wasn’t available, he would still need to hurry to find someone else, as he couldn’t afford to delay even a day.
He had no choice but to take a risk!
Yusheng spoke up, “Foxtail Grass Demon Yusheng pays respect to the master! I beseech the master to come out for a discussion, I have a plan that can relieve you of Enforcement Hall’s troubles!”
“You’re the Foxtail Grass Demon?”
The voice came from Yusheng’s right side.
Yusheng quickly turned his head and saw a breath-takingly beautiful female cultivator assessing him with curiosity.
The female cultivator had alluring eyes and rosy cheeks, a lazy demeanor, snow-white skin, and a tall and voluptuous figure, clearly raised with abundant nurture and care from a young age.
Yusheng hastily bowed and said, “I pay my respects to the master.”
“The name ‘Foxtail Grass Demon’ sounds peculiar, but doesn’t seem to have anything special. I’m leaving,” Master Yun Shu quickly lost interest in Yusheng, waved her hand, and turned to leave.
Yusheng was alarmed and quickly said, “Master, wait, I have a plan that can solve Enforcement Hall’s troubles!”
“I don’t want to take on apprentices,” Master Yun Shu called back without turning her head.
Seeing this, Jia Shanchuan sighed, “It seems we have failed.”
But Yusheng was not ready to give up, “Could it be, Master, that you’re avoiding taking apprentices because it’s too troublesome? I assure you, the apprentice I introduce will not trouble you in the slightest.”
Master Yun Shu paused, turned her head, and gave Yusheng another look.
Although she claimed to have founded a sect, her reluctance to take disciples over the years truly stemmed from finding the teaching too troublesome.
She herself didn’t want to cultivate, so how could she have the patience to teach disciples?
Was sleeping soundly not delightful? Was reveling in wine and fun not delightful?
To her, taking on disciples was an absolute burden.
But if it meant not having to worry about them, that was a different matter.
After all, if she didn’t take disciples, the Enforcement Hall would come every year to make noise, which was quite annoying.
Seeing Master Yun Shu hesitate, Yusheng was overjoyed.
He quickly stepped up to Master Yun Shu’s side, adeptly took out a “flyer,” with all of Jiang Cheng’s relevant information on it.
“Master, please take a look at Jiang Cheng. He’s an excellent apprentice with high cost-effectiveness. Right now, he’s only a freshman and hasn’t yet taken exams, so it’s the perfect time to get him for a bargain!”
Yusheng’s actions were quite skilled, as though he had been honed through similar experiences in worldly society.
Master Yun Shu looked over the flyer for Jiang Cheng and mused, “He does have a pleasing look. Everything you said just now, is it all true?”
