Chapter 276: Peach Blossom Sect Members Arrive
Due to the matter of the demonic cultivators, Mu Qiu, Honghuang, An Xiu, and others also returned to Xuanwu City to rest temporarily.
On the way, they saw the wanted poster of Song Abao on the water mirror.
The image in the water mirror made the three of them exchange glances, looking at each other.
It was just too abstract, and so abstract that it gave everyone a strange sense of familiarity.
And the name Song Abao…
was very subtle.
It carried a sense of perfunctory yet naturalness.
However, the System was still on them, and the three of them hadn’t discussed it yet.
They only had a rough guess in their hearts.
They also inquired about some matters concerning Song Abao, and after learning what Song Abao had done, they were all extremely shocked.
He had actually killed someone from a major sect.
Was this Song Abao that formidable?
Now, even with their guesses, they truly dared not discuss it further.
Meanwhile, an unexpected situation also arose among the Players.
A disciple heading to Liuyun Sect was confessed to by a female cultivator.
Of course, this so-called confession was the other party’s undisguised expression of wanting to become cultivation partners.
The Players all understood what cultivation partners meant.
The Player who was confessed to, Ye Xuan, was stunned on the spot.
After entering this game, everyone had fantasized about male Players dominating the world with beauties in their arms.
But under the harsh reality of Longevity Sect being weak and everyone being novice cultivators, they had come to terms with it.
They also had very little interaction with other local cultivators.
This was the first time they had been confessed to by a local cultivator.
As a man, after being stunned, Ye Xuan’s mood was one of uncontrollable internal swelling.
But his reason was still intact, “I… I… I already have someone I like.”
He could only refuse with a heavy heart.
Even setting aside whether they had any human functions, even if they wanted to—
the System would only coldly prompt: “Disharmonious plots absolutely cannot appear in this game.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator, though somewhat disappointed, understood that she couldn’t force things and could only leave with regret.
Ye Xuan watched the female cultivator leave with his own eyes.
His eyes welled up with tears, wishing he could reach out and perform a dramatic scene, begging her not to go.
After his sadness, Ye Xuan also sent a message in the world chat.
Ye Xuan: Can we not date local cultivators?
Wu Dahu: If this were a dating game, what you’re saying would definitely be possible.
Yang Meimei: That’s right, this game is so realistic, wouldn’t it be a waste of ourselves not to have a romance?
Ma Xiaoniao: Give it a rest. First of all, let’s not talk about whether you can give them happiness. Just imagine if things go wrong and you break up, it could really lead to murder.
Seeing the line about not being able to give them happiness.
All the male Players fell silent collectively.
Lin Baobao: Then what if we really fall for someone else? They are too real, I think it’s only natural.
“It is indeed natural.” The System also informed Song Jiulai about this matter: “Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”
They are all human, how could they not be moved.
And the relationship between Players and locals was incredibly complex.
Song Jiulai certainly didn’t want such a thing to happen, but it was clearly impossible.
At least not for now.
Song Jiulai thought for a moment, “Regarding this, we should issue a mandatory order: No dating local cultivators!”
Song Jiulai did not want to see any bad things happen later.
It would be a harm to both Players and locals.
Unless.
Unless the System had the ability to bring over the physical bodies of all Players.
When Song Jiulai first summoned Players, the System had said that it was only summoning souls because the energy was insufficient.
Otherwise, they could have brought people over directly.
For the Players, it would have been a true transmigration.
This also proved that with powerful strength in the future, Players would eventually have a day when they could truly meet local cultivators face-to-face.
But, that was only if that day truly arrived.
For now, restrictions must be imposed.
And if someone violated the rules under these restrictions, then it would truly be beyond Song Jiulai’s control.
As long as they didn’t violate the game’s bottom line, such uncontrollability hidden beneath various rules was something even gods couldn’t manage.
–
Chen Miaomiao emerged from Flying Sparrow Sect.
Disciples who passed by would greet Chen Miaomiao, “Greetings, Senior Sister Chen.”
“Greetings, Senior Sister Chen.”
Chen Miaomiao would nod to each of them.
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that those calling her were all disciples of Flying Sparrow Sect.
As a disciple of Longevity Sect, Chen Miaomiao was already considered one of their own in the hearts of Flying Sparrow Sect disciples.
She had researched something as heaven-defying as Tier 3 Spirit Herb cultivation and even had everyone sign contracts.
What difference did it make if she was from Longevity Sect?
Furthermore, she had also reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Now, besides the two in seclusion, Chen Miaomiao was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator left in the sect.
Who else should they respect if not her?
“Steward Chen.”
The Steward of the Artifact Hall of Flying Sparrow Sect approached. He was in the Late Qi Condensation Stage, and due to his age, Chen Miaomiao didn’t have him call her Senior Sister Chen; he could directly address her as Steward Chen.
Seeing him, Chen Miaomiao nodded, “What is it, Steward Tang?”
Steward Tang respectfully said, “It’s like this, Peach Blossom Sect ordered a batch of Profound Grade and Mortal Grade flying magic treasures from us three months ago. We have now completed the refining, and the time for them to pick them up has arrived. Peach Blossom Sect will likely send a group of people to collect them.”
Chen Miaomiao understood immediately.
With the significant changes at the foot of the mountain, Peach Blossom Sect would surely notice upon their arrival.
Steward Tang was asking her to be aware of it.
Chen Miaomiao nodded, “I understand.”
Chen Miaomiao sent a few messages in the Sect Channel, asking the Players to be mindful.
That evening, Lin Qian from Peach Blossom Sect arrived in Wang’an County with a few disciples from Peach Blossom Sect.
The huge changes in Wang’an County indeed startled them.
If the architectural style had changed, it would have been normal, but the architectural style of Wang’an County was something they had never seen before.
When they saw the colossal statue, Lin Qian was even more taken aback.
The sculpting technique of the stone statue was excellent, so much so that she could recognize Song Jiulai’s appearance at a glance.
Lin Qian was the first female cultivator Song Jiulai met when she was traveling.
At that time, Song Jiulai was still ‘innocent,’ or rather, unable to disguise herself, and Lin Qian was the only one who knew her true face.
Therefore, she was a bit surprised to see Song Jiulai’s statue, and after reacting, she went to ask others.
“What is the meaning of this statue being erected here?”
The other disciples naturally didn’t know, only the Flying Sparrow Sect disciples who came to escort them told them.
“Oh, this is Song Jiulai, the Sect Master of Longevity Sect.”
Although this was what was said, very few people had actually seen Song Jiulai.
And Song Jiulai wasn’t afraid of her true face being seen, as some Flying Sparrow Sect disciples and Players had already seen her.
She knew very well that she had enemies outside, so she never used her own face when traveling, making it impossible to identify her.
