Shining Moon Sect Inner Courtyard.
"Ancestor, you summoned me urgently. What is the matter?"
Sect Leader Donald Yuan knelt respectfully before the white-haired elder.
"You beast, go kill yourself."
"…"
Donald Yuan was so frightened he almost spat out blood. What heavenly rule had he broken to deserve such a command from the Ancestor?
With a trembling voice, he said, "Ancestor, I have always been diligent and devoted to the sect. Why would you say such a thing?"
The white-haired elder snorted coldly, "You beast, you've grown bold, daring to provoke an Immortal Realm powerhouse. If it weren't for the other party giving me some face, the Shining Moon Sect would be in ruins, and you would have been blasted to pieces."
Donald Yuan was utterly bewildered.
When did I offend such a high-level figure?
"Injustice, Ancestor! I have not left the sect for three years. How could I have offended an Immortal Realm powerhouse? There must be some misunderstanding. Please, Ancestor, see the truth!"
"Still dare to argue!"
The white-haired elder slapped him, sending the peak-stage cultivator Donald Yuan reeling.
"The Immortal said he wants to establish the True Immortal Sect on the old site of the Brahma Sound Sect, and you, ignorant fool, dared to cause trouble. Your death would be nothing, but you almost implicated me. Do you not recognize your guilt?"
Donald Yuan's face turned pale with realization.
So it was about the Brahma Sound Sect. This matter had reached the Ancestor's ears!
Moreover, the other party had quietly approached the Ancestor. The Ancestor was so fearful; that person must be…
Thinking this, Donald Yuan felt a chill down his spine.
No wonder the other party had an Immortal Artifact. The one behind him must not be a Land Immortal but a True Immortal!
The difference between a Land Immortal and a True Immortal is vast, like a chasm between heaven and earth.
An Immortal Realm powerhouse can easily annihilate any Land Immortal or Free Immortal with a wave of their hand. After all, one is a true Immortal, while the other is merely a pseudo-Immortal.
"Ancestor, I realize my mistake." Donald Yuan cried in despair, "Yesterday, a few elders from the Brahma Sound Sect reported the matter to me. I only agreed to take people to investigate. I didn't know how the news leaked."
Hearing this, a deep fear flashed in the white-haired elder's eyes.
"You fool, with an Immortal Sense, the other party can see through everything about you. How could your actions escape his notice?"
As a Land Immortal, the white-haired elder also had Immortal Sense, but it could only cover a thousand miles.
"Ancestor, fortunately, I haven't done anything outrageous yet. Please grant me a chance to atone for my sins." Donald Yuan pleaded.
"Enough. If it weren't for your great-grandmother's connection with me, I would have torn you apart today." Seeing Donald Yuan's tearful remorse, the white-haired elder calmed down a bit. "You should know how to deal with the True Immortal Sect from now on, right?"
"Yes, yes, I understand. I will immediately send a hundred thousand pounds of Spirit Stones over. Additionally, I have a female disciple named Scarlett Yao, eighteen years old and as beautiful as a fairy. I will send her over to apologize."
The white-haired elder slapped him again, "Fool, do you think everyone is as lustful as you? I perceive that Immortal Realm powerhouse to be a refined person. Sending a woman over might anger him!"
Donald Yuan knelt respectfully, feeling wronged, "Ancestor, you may not know, but I heard from the monks that the senior has a Snake Demon companion. In broad daylight, they battled for hours in the temple's side room. So, I boldly guessed that the senior might have a fondness for women."
"Oh?" The white-haired elder was slightly surprised, then relieved. "As expected of an Immortal Realm powerhouse, free and unrestrained. I am ashamed of my inferiority. In that case, send more women over and let him choose."
At this moment, Donald Yuan suddenly had an epiphany. No wonder so many cultivators in the world desire to become Immortals.
As an Immortal, not liking women is considered refined, while liking women is seen as free and unrestrained. Either way, it's not wrong.
"I understand."
"Dismissed."
…
Evan Chen and Li Huaizhen landed beside a Spirit Spring, unaware of the immense psychological trauma they had caused the Shining Moon Sect Leader.
"Young Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? The Shining Moon Sect wouldn't dare make a peep."
"I mean… those two women bathing in the spring."
Li Huaizhen, though blind, could clearly sense the two women bathing and playing in the nearby Spirit Pool.
As a former monk, Li Huaizhen felt more uncomfortable than a thief.
Evan Chen, however, was indifferent, speaking in a teaching tone, "Why do we cultivate? Isn't it to become stronger? And why become stronger? Isn't it to live freely and do as we please? Of course, I'm not a pervert with a voyeuristic fetish. It just so happens that I'm resting here, and they are bathing here. It's all a matter of fate. Do you understand?"
Li Huaizhen wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn't.
"Young Master, I do have some understanding. I need to meditate and cultivate over there. Please allow it."
Li Huaizhen couldn't convince himself to stay here and wanted to find an excuse to leave.
"With just a few words, you have gained some understanding. Indeed, you are a talent worth nurturing. Go and cultivate."
"Yes, Young Master."
Li Huaizhen held his breath and hid in the bushes behind.
In the Spirit Pool, two young girls splashed water on each other, playing like two lively fish.
After playing for a while, they sat by the pool, chatting.
"Sigh, I'm so envious of you, Scarlett, being able to join the Shining Moon Sect for cultivation."
"What's there to sigh about? It's the same everywhere; you still have to rely on yourself. But if you really don't want to stay in the Taihao Sect, I'll ask my master in a few days to take you in. We can cultivate together as sisters."
"Really? Scarlett, you're so good to me."
One of the girls excitedly hugged the other.
"Scarlett, you have no idea how annoying it is to cultivate in an ordinary sect. Just a few days ago, I was robbed by an Elemental Infant cultivator disguised as a beggar. He took a thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones from me. And I didn't dare report it to the sect or chase after him. It was so frustrating."
"Did that really happen?"
"Of course…"
The girl began to recount the events of that day in detail.
Lying on the grass, Evan Chen couldn't help but click his tongue. So the girl was talking about him.
He had an urge to go over and argue.
But on second thought, he decided against it. He had a moral bottom line. Rushing over to two bathing girls would be inappropriate.
The sun was shining, the grass was fragrant.
Evan Chen withdrew his Immortal Sense, emptied his mind, and watched the clouds drift by.
He heard the wind, the spring, the birds, and the laughter and chatter of the girls…
It was comfortable. The world was indeed a paradise.
Come to think of it, as long as one is strong enough, one can live freely anywhere.
As he thought this, the two girls had already put on their skirts, barefoot, and were walking on the grass.
"Ah! Scarlett, there's someone under my foot!"
Evan Chen suddenly realized he had been stepped on.
