Daoist Competition-Chapter 990 - 235: Peng Yuan’s Ties of Fate

Mu Bingxin’s expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to instruct the maid to go welcome the guest, footsteps were heard outside, followed by the lifting of the Jade Curtain. A blue-robed Daoist with a scholarly appearance and three strands of green beard stepped in, followed by a short and shrewd-looking young cultivator.

Mu Bingxin was taken aback, and then secretly annoyed in her heart. Setting aside her status as an Elder in the Peng Yuan Sect, she was still a female Immortal, yet the other party brazenly entered without any greeting, which was extremely rude.

However, considering that the person who entered was True Master He from Purple Bamboo Mountain, one of the Four Mansions and Three Mountains, with considerable status in the sect, she dared not display anger, and forced a slight smile on her face, saying, "Brother He, how did you come without sending word ahead, so that I could have welcomed you?"

True Master He, upon entering, looked at Mu Bingxin’s face, noticing the subtle changes in expression, and with a deep smile, said, "How could I trouble you, Sister?"

Mu Bingxin gestured to Tong Ao with a wave of her water sleeve, indicating for him to leave.

Tong Ao sensed the atmosphere was somewhat tense, and without hesitation, bowed before quickly heading out.

But at this moment, the young cultivator standing behind He Daoist stepped sideways, blocking his way, and said, "This child, I seem to have seen you somewhere before?"

Tong Ao was puzzled; he had no interaction with this person. How could he claim to recognize him? But his quick mind immediately noticed the young cultivator’s unfriendly expression, and his heart sank, recalling the recent frictions between Taihao Sect and Peng Yuan Sect, thinking, "Not good, how did this gods’ confrontation involve me?"

Indeed, that young cultivator leisurely spoke, "I see you exuding an evil aura; did you cultivate in Demon Dao techniques?"

Tong Ao, well-versed in the secrets of the hundreds of sects, quickly deduced his identity, and immediately put on an expression of surprise, saying, "Is it Daoist Liu in person?"

The young cultivator was taken aback, suspiciously asked, "You recognize me?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I heard Daoist Liu is the outstanding figure among Taihao Sect’s Third Generation Disciples..."

The young cultivator suddenly shouted, interrupting him, "Cease your nonsense!"

He raised his hand, and a green light fluttered above, from which an old twisted vine rope descended.

Tong Ao initially intended to flatter and muddle through, but unexpectedly, Liu Sheng was not a simple character, immediately acting without any entanglement.

However, taking a person in this cabin, no matter how good-natured Mu Bingxin was, she couldn’t tolerate it anymore. She waved her sleeve, shooting a column of Gang Qi like smoke to hold the vine rope, simultaneously shouting, "Tong Ao, this is none of your business, get out!"

Tong Ao, terribly frightened, lowered his head and quickly slipped out.

Mu Bingxin was furious; Tong Ao was indeed originally from an unorthodox sect and had some ties with Demon Sect, but he had never committed evil acts, and even if he was a Demon Sect disciple, it wouldn’t be for a junior to teach lessons here. She originally wanted to reprimand, but words stuck in her throat, forcibly restrained, only coldly said, "Is this Brother He’s disciple? Truly impressive."

True Master He chuckled, "This is one of my insubordinate disciples, named Liu Sheng, who has cultivated for less than a Jiazi, his Dao Heart unstable, naturally a bit impulsive, I ask Sister to forgive his rudeness."

Mu Bingxin merely snorted.

True Master He gave the young cultivator a glance, and the latter immediately retracted the vine rope, stood with arms hanging respectfully, as if nothing had occurred.

Mu Bingxin coldly said, "True Master He’s personal visit today must be for an important matter."

He Daoist, disregarding the impolite tone in her speech, merely smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve, flicked with fingers, sending it to the desk, "This is personally written by my Senior Brother Hong, please read it yourself, Sister."

"Elder Hong’s letter?"

Mu Bingxin inadvertently frowned; this Elder Hong was also a highly significant figure in Taihao Sect, and his Daoist couple was originally a disciple sent out from Peng Yuan Sect, but had already passed away many years ago.

She reached to take the letter, not yet in her hand, True Master He said again, "The matters in the letter, presumably not something Sister can decide alone, my apprentice and I shall stay at Xinglong Temple on Emperor Gate Island for these days. When your sect has thought it over, you may come to find me."

He bowed closely and unexpectedly turned and left the cabin, Liu Sheng looked at Mu Bingxin before departing, and also stepped up to follow.

Once outside, the two ascended to the sky riding clouds, True Master He asked, "Disciple, have you noticed anything?"
