Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1287: Chapter 22: Longyan’s Meritorious Service! Anye Returns_2 Chapter 1287: Chapter 22: Longyan’s Meritorious Service! Anye Returns_2 The woman in a light purple gown nodded with satisfaction, “Well done. Master Ruobing should be pleased if she sees this.”

Upon hearing this, the disciples finally let out a sigh of relief.

One of the slightly older disciples mustered the courage to ask, “Esteemed Xinrui, has Miss Ruobing ever mentioned how these flowers reproduce? Is it through seeds or bulbs? I see that these blue-purple phoenix bell flowers seem to endure Evil Qi better than ordinary Spirit Plants. If we could propagate more, maybe we could one day grow a sea of flowers. Miss Ruobing would surely be pleased if she saw it.”

“Having ideas is a good thing,” said the woman, shooting him a glance with an indifferent expression, “But remember, unless Master Ruobing gives instructions, do not do anything unnecessary. If there is an accident, even at the cost of your life, you cannot afford it. Understand?”

The disciple froze slightly, quickly bowed his head, and replied, “Yes, I understand, disciple.”

While they were speaking, the restriction of the inner courtyard was suddenly lifted; a figure pushed open the door and walked out.

The figure was clad in a simple white gown, with an aura of coolness, as if she naturally carried Spirit with her; she emitted a thick frost-killing air, which even from a great distance could cause one’s heart to palpitate.

Who else could this figure be if not Wang Longyan?

“Master Ruobing,” the woman in purple’s eyes brightened as she quickly went over to bow respectfully, “You must have worked hard during your seclusion. I have specially prepared the ‘Ice Chilled Frost Cake’ for you, with Yin-property Spiritual Medicine added; it can consolidate your Cultivation base and nourish the body, soothing the mind. I’ll have someone bring it to you right away.”

“Hmm.” Wang Longyan nodded, speaking indifferently, “You have also worked hard managing the estate for me these past few days.”

This woman was sent by Qi Hongzhao to be by her side, named “Wu Xin Rui,” purportedly a disciple of Acting Sect Leader Yin Feng Tu, and was specifically responsible for managing some of her daily trivial matters.

In the beginning, Wang Longyan actually found it very uncomfortable and even resisted, because she couldn’t bring herself to have a Great Heavenly Proud serve as a maid, but this was the custom of the Yinsha Sect. If she refused the service, the Elders would only think that Wu Xin Rui was not attentive or clever enough, which would have led to her displeasure, and they would have punished Wu Xin Rui instead.

Such was the logic of the Yinsha Sect, with a hierarchy that was very clear-cut, unlike the harmonious interactions between masters and disciples in Lingyun Holy Ground.

Moreover, even if Wu Xin Rui were gone, another Direct Disciple would be sent over. Since Wang Longyan was of such a noble status, she couldn’t be without someone to serve her, and those female disciples with lesser aptitudes weren’t even qualified to serve her.

Wang Longyan had no choice but to try her best to adapt. Having gotten along for some time now, they had slowly become familiar with each other.

“It’s not hard, not hard at all,” Wu Xin Rui smiled warmly and sincerely, “It is Xinrui’s blessing to be of service to Master Ruobing.”

While they were speaking, the disciples from the Yinsha Sect also came forward one by one to bow and pay their respects, with an attitude respectful to the point of being almost servile.

Within the Yinsha Sect, the hierarchy was strict, with clear distinctions of rank and status. Showing the slightest disrespect to those of noble position could endanger one’s life. Therefore, the disciples of the Yinsha Sect were always extremely cautious and careful in their actions.

Wang Longyan nodded to them, exchanged a few words with Wu Xin Rui, then turned her gaze toward the blue-purple phoenix bell flowers in the garden bed, nodding with satisfaction, “They are well-cultivated. It looks like you have indeed put a lot of effort into this.”

Wu Xin Rui smiled as she tucked a stray hair behind her ear, “As long as Master Ruobing is pleased. After all, you are the future Saintess of our Yinsha Sect, a position of great honor. Serving you is our duty.”

Wang Longyan nodded and did not say much more. After all, these blue-purple phoenix bell flowers had nothing to do with her hometown, Changning Guard, and naturally, she did not have any real affection for them. Her so-called hometown was just fabricated.

However, the girl responsible for creating her background story was very meticulous, arranging every detail with remarkable ingenuity.

At this moment, the maids had already brought the Ice Chilled Frost Cake.

Wu Xin Rui personally arranged the table and chairs for her, brewed her tea, allowing her to enjoy the flowers while having snacks.

Having spent some time together, she had come to understand Wang Longyan’s personality; knowing that she wasn’t very talkative but liked lively atmospheres, Wu Xin Rui poured her tea while casually mentioning some interesting rumors she had heard.

Wang Longyan listened absent-mindedly, occasionally nodding her head or making a comment, all the while organizing and categorizing these stories in her mind, extracting useful information.

She had been quite busy during this time, even though no one had assigned her tasks.

Her focus was mainly on two things.

First, of course, was Cultivation.

The primary purpose of her coming to the Yinsha Sect was to obtain the “Yin Sha Codex”; thus, Cultivation was of the utmost importance.

Since becoming the direct disciple of Sect Master Qi Hongzhao, he had given her the first half of the Cultivation Technique of the Yin Sha Codex. She had been studying this method and even tried to practice it, finding its compatibility quite high, perfectly capable of being cultivated alongside the “Mysterious Ice Phoenix’s True Law.”

Within the Technique, there was even a dedicated chapter explaining different types of Bloodline, as well as how a Profound Martial Cultivator who was originally practicing other methods should adapt and combine their practices.

Clearly, for a Codex of this level, her current situation must be quite common.

Furthermore, Qi Hongzhao had even given her another book of Cultivation insights, purportedly from one of the Demon Kings of past generations of the Yinsha Sect, who also practiced the power of frost and killing, which could be used for reference.
