Chapter 111 Recruiting a Team of Four
Mu Zien never expected that after decades, people would still know about their story.
He asked warily, "Regardless of their identity, it has nothing to do with what's between us, right?"
Wanqing spread her hands, "I didn't say it was related."
Luo Qingcheng was also puzzled as to why he reacted so strongly.
She wasn't very interested in the idea of the main family dividing the property.
She's curious about something else now.
"You're independent cultivators now, right? How did you manage to sneak in?"
The Immortal Sect Grand Competition is a competition among immortal sects; rogue cultivators without sects or factions should not be qualified to participate.
Mu Zien smiled wryly, "We sneaked in, hoping to take advantage of the competition to collect some resources that the sect disciples wouldn't want."
Who would have thought that this Immortal Sect Competition would be so unpredictable? Not only are there no good things in this doomsday battlefield, but spiritual energy is also leaking out uncontrollably.
They wouldn't have resorted to robbing others if they weren't desperate.
The disciples participating in the competition are all elites and key trainees of a sect. To attack these disciples, let alone whether they can win, even if they do, it is very likely to provoke retaliation from the sect behind them. As four rogue cultivators with neither strength nor background, how dare they cause trouble casually?
Luo Qingcheng nodded, seemingly believing Mu Zien's nonsense.
The onlookers, who were intently watching the painting, were taken aback.
"Master of the Forgetful Sword, how could your disciple be so easily trusting?"
Mo Wangqing remained expressionless, secretly resolving to send Luo Qingcheng out for some tough experiences once she was released, so she could witness the wickedness of human nature.
But he wouldn't admit defeat, saying, "Stop talking too much."
Ling Yu's face was dark. The dream was created by the Nightmare Ancestor, but the passage connecting the Nightmare Ancestor and the participating disciples was maintained by the Seeking Immortals Sect, the organizer.
How could it be so easy for independent cultivators to find loopholes?
He looked at Wanqing's gentle and beautiful face in the painting, secretly praying that she would notice something was wrong.
Wan knew that she had not disappointed Ling Yuchen's hopes.
As a disciple of the Seeking Immortals Sect, she naturally knew how difficult it was for rogue cultivators to break through the limitations and connect with the Nightmare Ancestor to enter the dream realm.
However, how could these four people in front of them—Uncle Ma, who had an extremely low profile, the naive Mu Xianlian, the taciturn Mu Xianruo, and Mu Zien, who was the only one to shoulder the responsibility—enter the competition without external help?
She interrupted Luo Qingcheng and Mu Zien's conversation: "Where do you plan to go next?"
Mu Zi'en said with difficulty, "We were not well prepared this time and did not bring back any elixirs. Now we have very little spiritual power left in our bodies. We just want to wait here until the competition ends."
Wan Qingchu, however, adopted a saintly demeanor, saying, "Let me introduce myself. I am Wan Qingchu, the chief disciple of Changdan Peak of the Xunxian Sect, and I am an alchemist."
She didn't say it explicitly, but her words implied that she had extra pills on her.
Seeing that Mu Zien was not surprised, Wan knew clearly that he had known her identity for a long time.
I just don't know what the purpose of these four people is.
Wan clearly suppressed her doubts.
Luo Qingcheng, oblivious to the situation, said with concern, "The theme of this competition is 'survival to the end,' which may require you to fight each other. If you stay in one place, you will be discovered soon."
What happens when you're discovered?
There is only one dead end.
Mu Zien was still hesitating when Mu Xianruo advised, "Old Mu, let's go with them."
Mu Zien was surprised.
This was the first time Mu Xianruo had given him advice; before, he had always dumped everything on her.
Mu Xianlian had wanted to join Wan Qingxiao when she introduced herself, but she didn't dare to speak. Now that her brother had agreed, she cheered, "Old Mu, let's go together! Let's go together!"
Mu Zi'en frowned.
Looking at the two people waiting on the side who were determined not to give up until they achieved their goal, Mu Xianruo exchanged glances with them and nodded helplessly.
Wanqing took out the Rejuvenation Pills and gave a few to each of them.
"Eat first, and ask me for more when you're done."
Seeing that the matter of their cooperation had been settled, Luo Qingcheng moved closer to Mu Xianruo.
The fresh scent of grass and trees wafted into Mu Xianruo's nostrils, and he subtly distanced himself. "What is the meaning of this, Master?"
Mu Xianlian grabbed her brother's arm and looked at Luo Qingcheng warily.
She had read in storybooks that some women with high cultivation levels would abduct handsome men to do bad things. Her brother was so handsome, could Luo Qingcheng possibly be planning to harm him?
Luo Qingcheng, however, seemed oblivious to the atmosphere, staring intently at Mu Xianruo, making Mu Xianruo's ears turn bright red.
She then said plaintively, "Didn't you say you would compensate me with all the spirit stones you had on you?"
Why is Mu Xianruo going to deny it so soon?
Mu Xianruo: ...
He took out his tattered storage bag, turned it over, shook it, and a spirit stone finally fell out.
Moreover, it's a spirit stone with quite a few impurities.
Luo Qingcheng: ...
This kid understands the art of language.
If he explicitly asked for a spirit stone in exchange for Luo Qingcheng for forgiving Mu Xianlian, Luo Qingcheng might feel that he was insulting her.
Although Luo Qingcheng considers herself not a noble person and that she can be insulted by spirit stones, it doesn't mean she's willing to be insulted by just one spirit stone; she'd prefer at least two.
Mu Xianruo handed the spirit stone to Luo Qingcheng without saying a word.
His dark eyes stared intently at Luo Qingcheng.
Luo Qingcheng ignored it.
It's impossible to make her feel guilty.
She didn't have any extra conscience to spare for these four people with unclear motives.
Without hesitation, she took the spirit stone and quickly stuffed it into her storage bag under Mu Ruolian's distressed gaze.
Seeing Mu Ruolian's pitiful appearance, Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but think of Hongdou, who was still lying on the Xuanbing bed.
When the two of them were penniless, Hongdou was the same way, unwilling to part with even a single penny.
Luo Qingcheng's heart softened, and he asked Mu Xianlian, "Your name is Lianlian, right?"
Mu Xianlian's eyes lit up, thinking that Luo Qingcheng was going to return the spirit stones to her, and she quickly nodded.
Instead of giving her the spirit stones as she expected, Luo Qingcheng said, "Since you're so pitiful, I'll teach you a few tricks for begging."
Mu Xian was startled and pitied.
She just found out what an amazing cultivation family she was born into, and now she has to start learning to beg?!
Mu Xianruo grabbed her silly younger sister.
He rarely spoke up, saying, "Master, Lianlian is brainless; she'll believe you if you say that."
Lianlian was already used to being told by her brother that she was brainless.
At least being brainless is better than being a pig-brained person.
She felt nothing; in fact, she almost wanted to laugh.
To their surprise, Luo Qingcheng's serious voice echoed in their ears, "Who said I was joking?"
After thoroughly shocking the brother and sister, he politely declined.
Mu Zi'en, who was walking on the other side, came over with great interest and asked, "Is it free?"
Luo Qingcheng nodded.
Mu Zi'en firmly believed that free is the best principle, and immediately her expression turned serious, "I want to learn!"
Luo Qingcheng felt as if he had found a kindred spirit, and moved, he grabbed Mu Zien's arm, saying, "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll learn!"
