Chapter 47: Return to the Sect

  "Is it you? I don't know what brings you here." Shi Sheng saw that the person who came was a young man in yellow robes, exactly the same person who had blocked him at the Liu family's old mansion, Zhou Tao's Ma Shidi.

  "Shi Dao, you must know something about the disappearance of Zhou Shixiong and Lu Shixiong?" The young man with the surname Ma asked. Lin Wan'er frowned slightly beside him, but didn't say anything.

  "Oh? I've heard some rumors, but Shi didn't have the heart to pay attention to it. If you're looking for information, it's better to go to the government office!" Shi shrugged his shoulders.

  "Hmm, Ma somehow knows that Zhou Shixiong and you have some past grievances. Could it be that the disappearance of both Shixiongs has nothing to do with Shi Daoyou?" The young man surnamed Ma stared at Shi Zheng intently.

  "Don't talk nonsense, I've never seen them before. If there's nothing else, please leave. I have things to attend to and no time to idle chat with you." Shi Sheng's face turned stern.

  "Alright, Ma will continue to investigate this matter, hoping it has nothing to do with Shi Dao. Otherwise... haha..." A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the young man with the surname Ma, and he immediately turned around and left.

  Shi Sheng and Lin Wan'er exchanged a glance before turning back into the room.

  "Ah Sheng, nothing's wrong, is it?" Lin Wan'er asked.

  "It's okay, Wanyu sister, you don't have to worry. By the way, now that you've activated your Nian interface, what state is it in?" Shi Sheng asked.

  Lin Wan'er smiled slightly: "A vague vortex is formed in the mind, and the mind can be mobilized to leave the body, but it is very limited, barely enough to make the copper ring swing."

  "Oh? So, if we continue to cultivate for a while longer, we can reach the Ascended Spirit Realm. Currently, we're only at the Enlightened Spirit Realm. Wanyi sister, pack up our things, let's head back to the sect immediately." Shi Sheng's expression turned serious.

  "So anxious?" Lin Wan'er was taken aback at first, and then looked at the thatched hut with some reluctance. Although it was old and worn out, and even struggled to keep out the wind and rain, she had lived here with her parents since childhood, and had developed a strong attachment and affection for it.

  "It's not good, if the other side discovers Zhou Tao's matter, we might have some trouble. Whether or not we can find Zhou Tao's body is insignificant, as long as Wugu Mountain suspects me, they probably won't need any evidence and will come to make trouble." Shi Sheng analyzed.

  "Can't the government do anything about it?" Lin Wan'er frowned.

  "Hehe, the government won't intervene in this matter. If you can't bear to part with it, we can come back and visit often!" Shi Sheng didn't have much feeling for this place, as long as it was safe and comfortable, it was all the same to him wherever he went.

  "Alright, listen to Ah Sheng!" Lin Wan'er nodded: "Then I'll go pack our clothes and some rice and grains, should we bring them along?"

  "Uh... never mind, let Bai Ming take care of the house later, I've given him the rice and grain, and don't bring too many clothes, there are some in the sect, just bring some dry rations and silver, no need to bring too many useless things." Shi Sheng hated bringing a bunch of stuff when going out.

  Lin Wan'er was different, she couldn't bear to throw away anything she saw, although she tried her best to get rid of some things, in the end she still packed two large backpacks, Shi Sheng's head ached when he saw that.

  "Wan Er, let's not take the clothes in that bag, we won't need them. There are a few things in this bag that we also don't need!" Shi Sheng said as he opened a backpack and picked out some unnecessary items. In no time at all, the backpack had shrunk by half.

  "Ah Sheng, this comb was left by my parents and cannot be thrown away. This piece of clothing, as well as that one, are also kept by me as mementos!" Lin Wan'er said with a gloomy expression.

  "Alright, take these few things then!" Shi Sheng put the comb and two pieces of clothing back in, only packing a set of spare clothes for each person, some simple daily necessities, some dry rations, and nothing else.

  Lin Wan'er looked at the clothes she had thrown down, although reluctant, but didn't say much.

  "Are we leaving tomorrow?" asked Lin Wan'er.

  "No, let's go now!" Shi Sheng didn't want to wait for the other party to arrive. Lin Wan'er nodded and finally Shi Sheng shouldered his bundle, and the two of them left the house. After finding Bai Ming, they explained things to him, and then came to Wang Bo's house again.

  "Little kid, you dare to come back?" Wang Bo saw Shi Sheng and rolled his eyes: "Are you going back to the sect now?"

  "Yes, Wang Bo, I came specifically to say hello. Sorry about what happened last time, I'll be back after a while!" Shi Sheng said with a dry laugh.

  "Hmph, I suppose you still have some conscience, coming to see an old man like me before you leave. Take these two bottles of medicine with you, one is for rapid recovery from exhaustion and the other is for healing wounds." Wang Bo said as he casually tossed out two small jade bottles with labels on them.

  "Thank you, Uncle Wang." Shi Sheng's expression turned serious, and it was clear that Uncle Wang had indeed been kind to him.

  "Alright, you can go now, come back and visit sometime!" Wang Bo casually waved his hand.

  "Goodbye!" Shi Sheng and Lin Wan'er gave a shout to Wang Bo, then turned around and left. The two of them didn't take the main road, but instead followed the small path that Shi Sheng led, which was the same way they came home.

  It was just that with Lin Wan'er by his side, Shi Yan couldn't use any of his aerial movement techniques and could only proceed slowly and obediently. In the end, it took them over a month to finally arrive at the foot of the Tian Xuan Sect's mountain.

  "Strangers are not allowed to enter our sect!" A guarding disciple frowned and looked at Shi Sheng.

  "This brother, I've already spoken with Elder Xiao. Once Ruan Er breaks through to the Lingyun Boundary, she can join our sect." Shi Sheng said with a serious expression.

  "Oh? Then wait a moment, I need to ask about it!" The disciple of the Valued Guardian said, and then turned around to leave. Lin Wan'er was slightly worried, fearing that things might not go smoothly.

  Before long, Xiao Changlao and that disciple walked over from a distance. Upon seeing Shi Yun, he immediately had a change in expression. Others couldn't see through Shi Yun's cultivation, but how could Xiao Changlao not?

  "When did you enter the Sea Boundary?" As soon as Elder Xiao spoke, his disciples were stunned. They didn't expect this newcomer who had just entered the sect less than three months ago to advance so quickly?

  "A few days ago, on the way back to the sect, I was lucky enough to advance!" Shi Sheng smiled and said: "Xiao Lao, this is my fiancée that I mentioned before. Now that she has achieved Jue Ling realm cultivation, can she join the sect? This way, after I allocate a separate residence, it will be convenient for Wan Er sister and me to be together."

  "Oh?" Xiao Chang seemed to still be in a daze, looked at Lin Wan'er and then his face flashed with surprise: "Since you can advance to the Lingyun realm, it means your cultivation talent is not bad, why didn't you go to test when our sect was selecting disciples? Where did your Kaonian Dan come from?"

  "Returning to Elder Xiao, I unintentionally obtained a Kai Nian Dan from an evil cultivator and gave it to Sister Wan for her to take. She didn't want to leave the village, so she didn't go to test during the selection of disciples." Shi Sheng replied, Lin Wan'er nodded cleverly.

  "It's just in time that you've returned. Among the fellow disciples who have advanced to the Sea Boundary stage within the past three years, there will be a competition soon. The winner will receive an award from the sect. Follow me first, I'll take you to choose your residence!" Elder Xiao said, leading Shi Sheng and Lin Wan'er into the sect gate. (This chapter ends here, next chapter is even more exciting!)
