Shangguan Mei Yang
"Rise!"
Just as Su Yun was still looking around for Chu Yue Qian's master, a soothing and beautiful voice sounded out from behind him.
Su Yun perspired in cold sweat, he immediately turned to look and saw a young lady in pink clothes who was standing behind him, with hair combed and knotted into a bun. She seemed to only be 15 or 16 years old, and although her face was still immature, she was extremely adorable, with her small stature and sweet perky butt. Though she did not have much of a chest, which could not be compared to Hu Qian Mei, it could not hide her graceful bearing. She did not look old, but she had an implicit charm, and could attract the eyes of countless people.
Of course, the most attractive thing about her was not her adorable features, but her hair color.
She actually has pink hair! If it was natural, it was extremely rare in Sky Martial Continent.
Her strength was profound and Su Yun did not dare stare for long, and immediately looked away. His heart was shaking as he thought: "What cultivation level is she truly at? To appear behind me so suddenly and silently, if she was my enemy, I would long be dead.
Even the Spirit Demon Emperor was nothing much compared to her.
"Thank You Master!" The disciples all stood up.
The young lady walked over to Chu Yue Qian. She extended her hand out to Chu Yue Qian's abdomen and pressed on it, releasing a warm and surprising blue light. Su Yun who was well versed in medicine could clearly feel that the blue light was quickly healing the wounds, and in ten breaths of time, Chu Yue Qian was fully recovered and completely unharmed.
Strong!
So she is not even afraid of life or death, or wounds to the flesh and bone?
"Who did this?"
The young lady's voice turned cold as she asked.
"Reporting to Master, it was the dog son of the Gold Snake Castle Castle Lord. We were completing the mission that Master had sent us out to do at Suffering Cloud Valley. We chanced upon a small town under the jurisdiction of the Gold Snake Castle and coincidentally chanced upon the son of the Castle Lord raping a woman, but the townspeople did not dare say anything. Thus Senior apprentice sister Chu went to ask around, and found out that the woman was already married. Just to get the woman, the Castle Lord's son actually murdered the entire family of the woman's husband, so senior apprentice sister was enraged and wanted to stop him, but who knew that he turned his attention towards Senior Apprentice Sister! He was truly too vile! Senior apprentice sister was too angry, so she killed him!"
The lady with the bangs explained.
"Well done!"
Before Chu Yue Qian could say anything, the young lady with the pink hair turned and said in anger, she raised her head and asked Chu Yue Qian: "Did the Gold Snake Castle's people chase after you?"
"The Gold Snake Castle Lord only has this son, and this disciple had killed his son, so how could he spare this disciple? After the matter, the Castle Lord immediately sent out 20 expert cultivators to chase after us. We were chased until today, where we had to fight with them. Soon after, were caught in a dire situation, but luckily, Limitless Sword Lord had managed to catch up in time, and aided us to chase away the Gold Snake Castle Lord. He saved these disciples lives, and prevented a calamity." Chu Yue Qian turned and looked towards Su Yun with gratitude.
"Limitless Sword Lord?"
The pink haired young lady turned and look over to Su Yun curiously, and said: "I have not heard of this name before. Young man, you saved my disciples?"
Young man?
Su Yun looked at the young lady who looked to be even younger than him, and could pass off as his younger sister. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he did not display any dissatisfaction. He cupped his fists and replied: "Reporting to senior, I only raised my hand to help."
"Saving is saving! Why are you so modest?" The pink haired young lady snorted: "I, Shangguan Mei Yang owes you a favor! Tell me, what do you want as repayment? I can satisfy any demands of yours!"
"Repayment? There is no need right? I only saw injustice, and thus helped out!" Su Yun portrayed a modest look and said shamelessly.
"Are you looking down on me?" The pink young lady seemed to be unhappy, and said unhappily: "I said I will repay you, that means I will! What's with all this bullshit! Tell me, do you have any request or desire, tell it to me, and I will grant it for you, if you waste any more time, don't blame me for being rude!"
This girl is such a pain in the ass, she will do what I say?
Su Yun could not tolerate such behaviors, but thinking about it, if he continued his way, he would have to continue to work, and thus spoke out: "If senior is truly serious, then I will not be polite anymore. Truth be told, the reason why we are here is because we are hiding from, and are avoiding our enemies. The matter at Qin Creek had made me, Su Yun, the enemy of everyone. I do not care about that, but my younger sister, Qing'er, is different. She has still not reached the Spirit Star Realm in cultivation. If we chance upon a few Spirit Soul Realm experts, she can fight, but if she were to chance upon a Spirit Star Realm cultivator, she can do nothing but die. Therefore, I hope to find a place to shelter my younger sister!"
With that, Su Yun pulled Qing'er forward.
Shangguan Mei Yang raised her glossy eyes and looked at Qing'er, and nodded her head, a flash of appreciation past her eyes, and asked: "Just this request?"
"Is senior willing to accept?"
"I am willing to bring her back to the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace!"
"Divine Cloud Immortal Palace? Where is that? Can it truly protect and shelter my sister safely?"
"Brat, you’ve never heard of Divine Cloud Immortal Palace? Hmph, truly a person with low cultivation will have low knowledge, explaining it to you will be useless! You just have to rest easy, I will definitely protect her and keep her safe. As long as she enters my Divine Cloud Immortal Palace, no one will dare to touch even a strand of her hair"
"I still don’t feel at ease about it." Su Yun, then said: "Senior, you are powerful, this one has recognized that. Only if you accept her as a disciple will I be able to rest easy. If not, I would rather let Qing'er stay by my side!"
"Oh? Take her in as a disciple?"
Shangguan Mei Yang was startled, she squinted her eyes then spoke: "My Divine Cloud Immortal Palace doesn’t casually accept disciples, but since you saved my disciples, I have the power to break this rule. Anyways, this girl's talent is not bad, taking her in will not cause me to lose my face. I agree to it then!"
Hearing that, Su Yun was ecstatic, and immediately cupped his fists: "Thank you, senior."
He never expected it to be so easy, it truly was surprising.
"Disciple Qing'er greets master."
Qing'er knelt down and kowtowed, but there was not a look of excitement on her face, but with a look of determination.
"Quickly rise!"
Shangguan Mei Yang supported Qing'er up, and then took out a pink square order badge from her storage ring and gave it to Qing'er, it was warm to the touch, and on it wrote a large word '妹(Mei)'. (Meaning Shangguan Mei Yang's Mei)
"With this order badge, you are my disciple, and using it you can go in and out of Divine Cloud Immortal Palace freely, and no one will stop you." Shangguan Mei Yang said loudly.
From the way she acted, it seems as though Shangguan Mei Yang holds a high position in the palace. Seems like I found a good backer for Qing'er. Su Yun thought happily.
"Thank you master." Qing'er quickly kept her order badge.
"Alright! That’s one thing that’s settled."
Shangguan Mei Yang turned her head and looked at Chu Yue Qian, and asked: "Do you know where this Gold Snake Castle is?"
"Yes."
"Alright! Xiao Li, take Yue Qian and Qing'er back to the palace first, the rest of you follow me to Gold Snake Castle!"
Shangguan Mei Yang waved her hand, a dense cold killing Qi was revealed in her eyes, she spoke sinisterly: "To dare provoke my disciples! I will cleanse the Gold Snake Ccastle with their blood, and rid the hatred in my heart!"
"Ah?"
Hearing that, Chu Yue Qian immediately spoke out: "Master, although the gold snake castle lord deserves to die, the other people are innocent, you cannot kill the innocent, if not, how are we different from them?"
"Ha ha, I was joking. I am only going to kill the Gold Snake Castle Lord, and kill those who deserve to die!"
Shangguan Mei Yang looked to be impatient, she then leaped up and transformed into a pink light aura, in a moment sweeping through the sky and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
So fast!
Su Yun's heart jumped, he was still unable to see through Shangguan Mei Yang's cultivation.
He had not heard of her before, but she truly was one of style, doing things straightforwardly without losing out, thinking of accepting Qing'er only when she was not at a disadvantage.
After Shangguan Mei Yang left, the remaining few disciples immediately followed along, while the disciple called Xiao Li was prepared to bring Chu Yue Qian and Qing'er back to the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace.
And when it came to farewell, Qing'er had a forlorn look. She looked at Su Yun with her lips bit tight, she walked a few steppes and used her small hands to hold onto Su Yun's big hands
"Young master, Qing'er will work hard to become strong, and protect you in the future." she lowered her head and said.
"No need." Su Yun shook his head bitterly, and rubbed Qing'er's head and laughed: "With regards to the Profound Sky Sect, let young master settle it. Just stay and wait in Divine Cloud Immortal Palace safely and healthily for me. Wait till I’ve done everything. I will come and find you."
Hearing that, Qing'er could no longer hold back her tears and the tears flowed along her face and cheeks.
"Qing'er, let’s go!"
Chu Yue Qian walked over and said gently.
Qing'er nodded her head. Without saying anything, she lowered her gaze and turned around.
Her footsteps were heavy, the image of the frail lady looked to be so lonely.
Su Yun's mind was blank, but they were forced to such an extent and he had no other choice.
"Truth be told, are you truly siblings? Why does Qing'er call you Young Master?"
Chu Yue Qian looked at Qing'er strangely, then asked Su Yun.
"Sorry, I lied. In truth, she is not my sister!" Su Yun laughed, then did not continue further.
"You’re so strange, and so different from the rumors!" Chu Yue Qian sighed then laughed: "But Su Yun, since Qing'er is one of us now, we will not be considered outsiders anymore. Hopefully when you are free you can come to visit us as guest in the future. Alright, I’ll take my leave now, take care!"
"Help me take care of Qing'er."
"Definitely!"
Chu Yue Qian nodded her head.
Very quickly, the three of them left.
Su Yun stood in his place blankly, thinking that everything was a dream and not real at all.
'After working so hard, I've finally found Qing'er, only to have to say goodbye again.
But now, I’m not worried for her, I believe there is no other place safer than the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace.
It was also a relief for him.
With Qing'er's issues resolved, I believe I can focus on the Profound Sky Sect now.'
Su Yun thought, then he started to walk.
But at that moment, a black light shot out from his storage ring, and flickered!
Seeing that, Su yun's face changed as he immediately opened the storage ring, And took out the order badge from inside.
