Chapter 100: Farewell to Old Friends (Seeking Fresh Flowers and Subscriptions)

  "Now that it's been confirmed that we're indeed disciples of the sect, may I ask, esteemed senior brothers, now that the situation has been clarified, can you please let us in?"

  One of the gatekeepers said: "Of course, Elder Ye can enter our sect, but who is this person next to him?"

  As soon as this was said, Xie Qianqiu immediately had a rhythm of blowing up, fortunately Ye Tianfan discovered it in time and hurriedly blocked his own master sister.

  He then said: "This is my senior sister apprentice, we went out together and like me, are also Dan Lao's disciples."

  After listening to Ye Tianfan's explanation, the two became even more curious and couldn't understand why Ye Tianfan, who was already a master of alchemy, would still acknowledge someone who wasn't as good at alchemy as him as his senior sister.

  Seeing the strange gaze of the two, coupled with the look of his master sister about to explode, he said: "We are both disciples of Dan Lao, and we have already become alchemy masters. If you don't let us in, then call our master Dan Lao to confirm."

  When he said "Please ask Dan Lao to confirm" at that time, Ye Tianfan was also somewhat angry, so his tone became slightly heavier.

  The two gatekeepers apparently also heard Ye Tianfan's impatience and knew that Ye Tianfan was about to reach his limit. The two of them did not dare to offend a Dan Master, let alone the youngest Dan Master in the sect.

  The two of them respectfully made way for a path and said: "Please come in, Elder Ye and this junior sister."

  Then the two of them quickly walked in, walking on the road, Xie Qianqiu angrily said: "These two hateful doormen, actually look down on me like this, Shidi, you shouldn't have stopped me, I should teach them a lesson."

  "Senior sister, don't worry about it and there's no need to get angry. They're just doing their job after all," Ye Tianfan comforted her. "Now that the demonic path is rampant, it's possible someone might try to sneak in under the guise of this incident. Senior sister probably doesn't want any demonic cultivators sneaking in either."

  "Although that's the case, but whenever I think of how they looked at me, I get angry. They really look down on me, don't they? They're just Yuan Ying stage cultivators, looking down on a Golden Dan stage cultivator like me. Humph, I'm a great alchemy master, next time I'll make them take a good look." Xie Qianqiu said with a huff.

  Ye Tianfan didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he said: "Let's go to Master's place together and apologize. Master must be angry that we sneaked out of the sect on our own."

  Qianqiu replied, "He's worried about you, he can't even see how happy I am yet, let alone care about me."

  "Senior sister, Master actually cares about me less than you do, it's just that your preconceived notions are getting in the way."

  "If he cared about me so much, why didn't he report my becoming a Dan Master to the authorities? If he had reported it, would things have turned out like this today?" Xie Qianqiu retorted.

  "This, this." Xie Qianqiu was at a loss for words and finally said: "Sister, maybe Master has some reason, let's go to Master and he should say something." Ye Tianfan hesitantly finished speaking.

  Xie Qiujiu said: "Alright, since that's the case, then I'll go with you to see Master and hear what he has to say."

  Then the two of them walked towards Dan Lao's courtyard, and Ye Tianfan reminded him on the way to be more respectful to his master sister, while Xie Qianqiu just kept saying "I know", and simply brushed it off.

  The two soon arrived at Dan Lao's residence, but Dan Lao was not practicing alchemy, instead he was sitting there drinking tea.

  Looking at his beaming face, there must be something more exciting than refining elixirs, but he didn't know what it was. However, when Xie Qianqiu saw her master's expression, she pouted her small mouth.

  Master Dan saw his two disciples secretly leaving the sect and returning, not only was he not angry, but instead happily said: "My dear disciples, you're back."

  Ye Tianfan curiously asked: "Master, I don't know what's making you so happy that you're so relaxed."

  Xie Qianqiu pretended to be indifferent, but was still very curious in her heart, so she perked up her ears.

  Dan Lao laughed and said: "Your master, I can now refine low-grade immortal pills. Now I am a great master of alchemy. Do you think I'm happy or not?"

  Ye Tianfan is fine, but Xie Qianqiu reacted the most. Xie Qianqiu exaggeratedly said: "What! Master, you can already refine the immortal pill? Can I take a look at the refined immortal pill?"

  Xie Qianqiu's attitude changed a lot instantly, and his voice also became much more flattering. It was clear that he was very concerned about the Xian Dan.

  Dan Lao still smiled and said: "I may not be able to satisfy my dear apprentice's wish for the time being, because that elixir has been handed over to the sect leader for arrangement. If my elixir really has good effects, I will have a lot of work to do then. The sect is now at a critical moment, and every bit of strength counts."

  Xie Qianqiu was slightly disappointed upon hearing this, and his mood also became much lower. Xie Qianqiu didn't even have the heart to ask his master why he wasn't made an elder despite already being a great alchemy master.

  After chatting for a while, Dan Lao saw that Xie Qianqiu's mood was low, so he said: "You two just came back, go back and rest."

  Ye Tianfan wanted to chat for a while longer, but seeing his master sister's emotions were really low, the two bid farewell and left.

  Two people took the child out of the hospital, and Xie Qianqiu went back directly. Ye Tianfan knew that his master sister would become lively again after a while, so he didn't say much either, and also went back.

  The next day, Ye Tianfan walked towards the lake in the inner courtyard, planning to take a stroll around and clear his mind. He hadn't been to those places for a long time.

  Ye Tianfan had just walked to the lake when he saw Ba Tian, Wen Bin, Xia Yu and Li Yu, so he excitedly walked over to greet them.

  Ye Tianfan had not yet reached the group of people when he said, "Ba Tian, Wen Bin, Xia Yu, Li Yu, you're all here too. How have you been lately?"

  Several people saw Ye Tianfan and were very happy, so several people came to the pavilion by the lake and sat down to chat.

  Through several people's accounts, Ye Tianfan came to understand that these individuals had managed to make a name for themselves within the inner sect due to their hard work and innate talents.

  At this time, a disciple rose to prominence. That person was Wu Qing, also known as the elder brother without desires. The elder brother without desires, Wu Qing, was initially suppressed by several people, but somehow obtained some kind of extraordinary encounter, and it took the combined efforts of several people to counter him.

  And his brother Wu Yu also became more arrogant and domineering because of this, but fortunately several people restrained him, so he didn't dare to go too far.

  One day when an elder came to instruct him, he suddenly launched a surprise attack on the elder. The elder was seriously injured at that time, and several people happened to pass by.

  Several people heard the fighting and curiously followed the sound, thus rescuing Lao. However, Wu Qing directly escaped without even caring for his own brother, truly living up to his name "Wu Qing" (heartless).

  The ruthless younger brother is in a pitiful state, normally bullying the kind and fearing the evil, but now without a backer, he is naturally bullied, and his cultivation of desirelessness has also been abandoned, expelled from the sect.
