Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Ask You for a Person

Translator: 549690339

“Elder Lu, may I ask what brings you to my Cloud Dream Pavilion today?”

“Yesterday at the event, I regrettably won against Fairy Xia. I hope Fairy Xia will forgive me.”

“Since it was a competition, there naturally exists a distinction between victory and defeat. Elder Lu was superior in skill, and I feel utterly convinced by my loss. Why then would Elder Lu feel the need to apologize?”

More than that, Xia Ningxue was more concerned about the person Lu Changsheng had brought with him.

Although Mo Huazhi did not possess the ethereal Immortal Qi of Xia Ningxue, she was gentle and elegant, with a scholarly air that gave her a unique charm.

The question was, why had Lu Changsheng brought her here?

“This person is a servant from your Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, responsible for overseeing a small bamboo forest.”

“With her temperament, it’s a pity for her to serve as a servant.”

“Therefore, I would ask Fairy Xia to retrieve her contract and restore her freedom. Of course, I am not unreasonable. I am willing to exchange a fifth­grade Elixir Pill for a servant from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.”

Lu Changsheng took out a small jade bottle containing a fifth-grade Elixir Pill.

A fifth-grade Elixir Pill, let alone exchanging it for one servant, would be more than enough for ten.

“Elder Lu, although a fifth-grade Elixir Pill is precious, our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion would not casually exchange our servants or disciples. If you have come only to satisfy a selfish desire, then please leave.”

Xia Ningxue’s tone turned progressively colder.

“Please don’t misunderstand, Fairy Xia. I saw that her Root Bone was quite good, so I intend to take her as my disciple, that’s all.”

Seeing that Xia Ningxue had misunderstood, Lu Changsheng hastened to explain the reason.

“Is that all?”

Xia Ningxue’s tone softened.

Then, Xia Ningxue worried inwardly.

Alas, what am I fussing about?

If Elder Lu wants to take a servant away, that’s the servant’s fortune. What has it to do with me?

“If Fairy Xia feels a fifth-grade Elixir Pill is insufficient to exchange for a servant, then a sixth-grade pill should surely suffice.”

Lu Changsheng, thinking Xia Ningxue wouldn’t be so easily persuaded, increased his offer.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ningxue pushed both the fifth and sixth-grade Elixir Pills back: “It’s her opportunity to become your disciple, which is a delightful tale in itself. As long as she agrees, I can retrieve her contract. Our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion is not short of servants. Beneath Misty Peak, numerous people wish to serve our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion as servants.”

” It was my vulgarity showing.”

Lu Changsheng had not expected Xia Ningxue to be so amenable, not even tempted by a sixth-grade Elixir Pill.

Xia Ningxue’s character was indeed rare in this world.

“Would you like to?”

Xia Ningxue looked towards Mo Huazhi.

Mo Huazhi nodded earnestly: “I wish to follow Master and cultivate.”

“Since it is your own wish, then go with him. I will have someone fetch your contract.”

“Many thanks, Holy Maiden.”

Mo Huazhi had not expected to escape the fate of a servant one day and was overwhelmed with joy.

“So, does this mean that I am now a senior sister?”

Lian also appeared exceedingly excited.

Although she was younger than Mo Huazhi, having entered the sect five years earlier, that made her the senior sister.

“Disciple, do not be rude. As a senior sister, you must take care of your junior sister in the future,” Lu Changsheng exhorted.

“Lian understands…”

Lian stuck out her tongue, wondering why she now, as a senior sister, didn’t seem to have it better than when she was a junior sister.

Her second and third disciples respectively, the Martial God and the Literary Sage, would make Qingyun Peak livelier than ever.

“Elder Lu, now that the matter you beseeched has been handled, you may leave. Someone, show him out.”

“Hold on, in addition to requesting Fairy Xia forher disciple, I have something else. Fairy Xia has suffered a backlash from her cultivation technique, and her soul may be damaged. Here is a sixth-rank ‘Soul Supplement Pill’ that can eliminate any future problems. Please, do not refuse it.”

Having taken on a disciple, Lu Changsheng felt he owed a favor.

Lu Changsheng hadn’t given up on the idea of taking Xia Ningxue as his own disciple.

Xia Ningxue’s talent was terrifyingly immense; even without a system, her cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds, truly the Son of Fortune of this world.

“Since it’s a kind gesture from Elder Lu, and I do indeed need this elixir, then I shall accept it and will surely repay you in the future.”

Xia Ningxue saw that Lu Changsheng was sincere and found it hard to refuse, especially since her injury had not fully healed, and a Soul Supplement Pill was a rare sixth-rank elixir.

However, if Xia Ningxue knew that Lu Changsheng was trying to improve her opinion of him just to make her his disciple, she would surely be full of question marks.

Lu Changsheng exchanged a few more pleasantries with Xia Ningxue, sharing insights from their recent sparring.

Lu Changsheng realized that although Xia Ningxue’s cultivation was exceptional, she was ultimately a young girl who had focused solely on cultivating and had little experience with the world. Thus, he spoke more freely, squeezing in a few jokes; Xia Ningxue couldn’t help but smile and cover her mouth to suppress her laughter.

“As it is getting late, I will not delay Fairy Xia’s cultivation any longer.”

Lu Changsheng realized that, unbeknownst to him, it was already noon, and so he rose to take his leave.

“Hmm.”

Xia Ningxue nodded, her conversation having reached a peak, and suddenly came to an abrupt stop, feeling an unexpected hint of reluctance to part.

At the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, no one would engage in banter with her.

Lu Changsheng summoned his Flying Sword, waved his right sleeve, and a gentle breeze enveloped his two disciples, Lian and Mo Huazhi, carrying them towards their lodging at Mount Shu.

“What’s wrong with me? Master once said, from ancient times emotional barriers are hard to overcome, cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Love Art should sever emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, and hatred…”

Xia Ningxue activated the Supreme Forgetting Love Art, suppressing the turmoil in her mind.

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura descended, the entire Cloud Dream Pavilion trembling.

“Master.”

Xia Ningxue opened her eyes; the person who arrived was the Fairy Pavilion Master.

“Did that youngster Lu Changsheng come by?”

“Yes…”

“What did he say?”

“He only took a servant from our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion and gave your disciple a ‘Soul Supplement Pill’.”

“A sixth-rankelixir? I didn’t expect that lad to be so lavish.”

The Pavilion Master of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was quite surprised.

It was rare for an elder from an ordinary Dao Palace to possess a sixth-rank elixir, and for Lu Changsheng to give such a gift was astonishing, even to the Pavilion Master.

“However, you must not develop feelings for that lad Lu Changsheng. Although Lu Changsheng has cultivated for over two hundred years and is now at the fifth layer of Dao Palace, compared with your talent, he is still worlds apart. To you, he is but a passerby.”

“If you fall into an emotional tribulation because of this, you might suffer just like your master, unable to attain Immortality.”

“Alas, I oriented my heart towards the bright moon, but how could the bright moon illuminate the gutter…”

The Pavilion Master of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion let out a long, melancholy sigh.

“Master, what actually happened back in those days?”

Xia Ningxue knew that her master had a past with the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, but no one among the younger generation of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion elders knew the exact details.

“That matter, you don’t need to know. I have come here on another matter. There’s a Supreme Elder in our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion who, knowing that she has no hope of surviving her Tribulation and that her lifespan is nearing its end, has decided to end her seclusion early. She heard that your talent is no less than that of the Immortal who founded our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion twenty thousand years ago and plans to sacrifice her own cultivation to bestow upon you the Power-infusing Initiation.”
