The invaderâs mission was to exact revenge on Zuo Shuming, prevent him from ascending. It was very easy to ruin this mission, the better Zuo Shumingâs life was, the more indignant she would be. The best scenario would be him ascending right before her, letting the invader experience the feeling of hating to see that but not being able to do anything. But right now, Zuo Shumingâs golden finger and Scoopâs scale had been snatched away. His initial chance to be taken under the wing of the Soul Formation Supremacy had been ruined too.
Though with his temperament, there wasnât any possibility of him ascending. Even if the invader doesnât act, it would take him a much longer time compared to his previous life to ascend. The best solution was to have them join Gui Yi Sect too and meddle in too, on the one hand they could keep an eye on the invader and on the other it would be easier to ruin its mission.
However, here comes the problemâŚ
âThat day in the woods, that invader has already seen Chef and me.â Lonemoon said with a frown, âIf we join Gui Yi Sect just like that, we might alert the enemy, it would be bad if we make the system more vigilant.â They went over urgently that day and did not conceal themselves or what not, it was highly possible that theyâd be recognized.
âThatâs not difficult.â Yi Qing said with a low voice. âWe can just morph into another person or change our appearance.â
âNo!â Lonemoon shook his head. âThough morphing and using spells are convenient, but we cannot say for sure that she wouldnât see through it, donât forget that he is an invader, who knows what other tricks it has.â That day it was able to escape out of Chefâs hands.
âThen what do you think we should do?â
âOther than the two of us, thereâs onlyâŚâ He turned over to look at a certain person who was lazily sprawled out on the table like a boneless person. âForget it, itâs still two of us!â
Shen Ying: ââŚâ Son of a b*tch!
âI think we should just use the essence of Heavenly Tribulations to change our appearance.â He suggested, âThe essence of Heavenly Tribulations isnât a spell, the changes in appearance is eternal for cultivators, of course, that doesnât include us, itâs enough to use it to baffle the invader. After this ends, we can just release the lightning spiritual power in our body and we can change back anytime.â
Yi Qing nodded, this was indeed the safest.
âBut the three of us are too obvious.â He thought for a moment and went on, âThough that invader is strange, we only need one person to watch over Two-Bucks Zuo. Letâs discuss, who would be better⌠Hold on, why are you two suddenly hiding so far away?â
Before he could finish, the Master and disciple duo who was initially beside him instantly ran 10 meters away.
âLet us decide through voting! I vote Father Niu!â
âI vote Father Niu too!â
âAlright, Father Niu has more than half the votes, it has been happily decided!â
âAll the best Father Niu, the essence is certainly no problem to you.â
âFather Niu is amazingly professional at ranking up with another newbie!â
âż(ŕšââ˝âŕš)âżâż(ŕšââ˝âŕš)âż
Lonemoon: ââŚâ Motherf*cker!
Was there meaning in such voting? Both of you just want to f*cking slack and push everything to me?
He instantly felt an urge to educate the rascals. Be clear! Whose plane was this! Hello?
âThe, two, of, youâŚâ He was about to explode when the sky darkened, storm clouds appeared at once as a rich authority settled above him. âHold on! Chef what are you doing?â Chef directly lifted his hand to conjure seals.
In the next moment, a Heavenly Tribulation as thick and strong as a water bucket fell from the sky with a rumble and struck Lonemoonâs head. A hint of burned yellow color surfaces on the edges of his robes.
ââŚâ
Instant silence.
âFather Niu, the lightning spiritual power around you is about to dissipate, need me to strike another one?â
âStrike my foot!â
(âŻâľâĄâ˛)âŻ(âťââť
You really did it!
Lonemoon was so enraged that his hair could stand, pulling out a spirit stone, he threw it over. âGet it straight whose plane this is. Also, with the essence, the Nascent Soul tribulation would suffice, why the heck did you use the ascension tribulation?â Manager, big deal?
âI see, then Iâll change to another type!â
âWhat did you sayâŚâ
Crash!
Following that, a Nascent Soul tribulation struck down precisely on Lonemoonâs head once again.
Lonemoon who was struck by lightning a second time: ââŚâ
A while laterâŚ
âChef, Father Niu still looks the same, did you use the wrong one again?â
âMaster, I have yet to see the tribulations of the lower realm for a long time, I am indeed having some trouble grasping it.â
âWhy donât⌠you try striking a few more times?â
âYes Master, no problem Master!â
The fan in Lonemoonâs hand instantly transformed into a long sword with a flip. âIâll slaughter you two little bastards!â
â°(ç˝çżç˝)âŻ
ââââââ
Lonemoon successfully snuck into the new batch of outer sect disciples with his new appearance formed from the essence of Heavenly Tribulations and successfully became Two-Bucks Zuo.
As compared to the official disciples, the outer sect disciples evidently did not have teachings that targeted, not to mention the inner sect disciples with Masters. They basically relied on self studying and every five days, a Golden Core cultivator would come to Teaching Hall for a lesson. Other than that, they also had to complete some missions from the inner sect every month.
It could be said that outer sect disciples were basically left to their own accord. Of course if they work hard and studied diligently, they could become official disciples after completing their Foundation Establishment stage. Then according to their specialties, be distributed to different wings to practice the corresponding cultivation skills.
Simply put, outer sect disciples were disciples who did odd jobs, so the management over them was very slack too. Lonemoon had no choice but to suppress his cultivation to level six in Qi Refinement. Whereas Shen Ying and Yi Qing could only continue being invisible people, accurately speaking, it was Yi Qing who needed to conceal himself and with Shen Yingâs presence, no one paid attention to her, anyway.
Today happened to be the day lesson being conducted at Teaching Hall. Lonemoon gave it some thought and decided that in order to ruin the invaderâs missions, it was better to get on good terms with Two-Bucks Zuo. Just as he was in thought, he saw Zuo Shuming approaching in the opposite direction.
Lonemoonâs eyes narrowed and walked over. âThisâŚâ
He was about to greet him, yet Zuo Shumingâs eyes lit up and spoke up before he could, âFellow disciple, are you a disciple who just joined today too?â
âUm⌠yes.â He subconsciously replied.
Zuo Shuming hurriedly brought out three pieces of paper and asked urgently, âThen may I ask Junior Brother, have you seen the three people in these drawings?â As he spoke, he handed the papers one by one to him.
Lonemoon looked down, on those three drawings were two males and one female, though there were some deviations, he could still recognize the familiar figures.
This was⌠the drawings of them three, wasnât it familiar!
This naive fool was still looking for them.
(â_â)
The corner of Lonemoonâs mouth twitched before he bit the bullet and replied. âI⌠have not.â
âOhâŚâ Zuo Shumingâs initially hopeful gaze instantly dimmed, his entire being listless. A while later, he replied, âThank you Junior Brother.â With that said, he sighed and turned to walk into Teaching Hall.
A disciple beside them saw his stupefied expression and could not help but voiced out, âJunior Brother, donât mind him.â
He pointed to Zuo Shuming who was in front and said in a joking tone, âSpeaking about this Senior Brother Zuo, heâs a pitiful person too. I joined on the same day as him, three days earlier than you. On that day, he originally had the chance to be selected by the Soul Formation Supremacy to join Dan Xia Mountain, but the Supremacy suddenly changed his mind and chose another Senior Brother instead. Perhaps due to the ups and downs at the moment, he suffered an emotional blow. He kept insisting that there were three other Foundation Establishment stage friends who came to join the sect with him who had disappeared. These few days all the outer sect disciples had been questioned by him.
His gaze increasingly filled with pity as he spoke on and sighed. âSigh, a normal person, just went crazy like this, how pitiful!â
Lonemoon: ââŚâ
Yi Qing: ââŚâ
Shen Ying: ââŚâ
Lonemoon silently turned and exchanged gazes with the two invisible people beside him, feeling slightly complicated. He didnât expect that in the time they went back to video call Sister Jing, Zuo Shuming the naive fool had been rumored to be a madman with delusional disorder? He even looked for them for three whole days!
