The Naughty Senior Sister
The Southern Continent Expedition Begins
If one were to travel about 200 kilometers to the west of this city, they would arrive at the southern continent's miasma qi border. At the end of the territory was a training ground for the disciples of the Luo Immortal Sect, the Chaos Forest.
Beyond the miasma qi, there was a barren mountain. It was in stark contrast to the endless darkness of the forest covered in miasma qi. This contrast is also a clear boundary between the two regions.
As they got closer to the forest covered in miasma qi, Su Yueyin looked even colder and calmer. His cold eyes were filled with caution and vigilance, as his divine consciousness examined the area within tens of kilometers of them. Every gust of wind and the movement of the grass is checked.
He led the group in low-altitude flight. Then, he used a large amount of qi energy to summon the white clouds.
The large pumpkin shrank to small size and he hung a miniature small pumpkin on his waist. The huge pumpkin is a heavenly level artifact, it can change size, it is used for transportation and attacking it also has its own divine consciousness connected to its owner, Su Yueyin.
Finally, when they reached the border of the forest covered in miasma qi, Su Yueyin descended from the white clouds, turned around and spoke to the five disciples.
"As per the rules, each expedition will take place in 20 days. Time begins when you enter the Forest of Chaos. If you go out before the appointed time, your expedition will be considered a failure. Then, you will receive punishment upon returning to the sect."
Su Yueyin's cold gaze flickered, her tone getting colder. "Actually, the penalty is not as simple as a monthly stipend cut or anything like that. You will not be punished until you feel pain."
"Only, well I'd be honest if the punishment was you guys had to reflect in a cold white room. If you are in danger, survival is a top priority. If you feel you can't, get out."
"Don't force your luck or stubbornness to stay there. I'll keep an eye on you all from here. Remember, this expedition is intended to push you beyond the limits of each ability. General Lao will stay here as well, according to his rules."
General Lao cupped his hands and made a request, "I came at the order of the Emperor to protect the Fifth Prince. Elder Su Yueyin, please allow me— ...."
Su Yueyin coldly interrupted, "Do I have to break both your arms and legs to stay here?"
Wang Jia Li spoke up from the side, "General Lao, please stay outside. Follow Aunt Yueyin's orders." He looked vaguely annoyed as well.
It was obvious that he had given countless orders while growing up, yet most people were quibbling on the Emperor's orders and so on to be disobedient with his words.
"This general is taking His Majesty's orders!" general Lao replied in a low tone, then he frowned and turned to Mo Li.
Mo Li immediately said, "General Lao, don't worry. I will help Junior Sister Jia Li even if it should sacrifice my life."
Wang Jia Li did not give any response. Instead, he maintained his cold expression that he used every day.
On the other hand, Yan Xu who had been standing behind Su Yueyin the entire time turned around to study Mo Li and General Lao.
'Will Mo Li also be involved in General Lao's scheme?' thought Yan Xu was suspicious in his mind.
"I'll give you a reminder. First, help each other when inside. Remember that you are from the same sect and must help each other."
"Second, don't move on your own. Wang Jia Li and Mo Li, you are the disciples who have the highest cultivation base among the other disciples, if you have free time please pay attention to the others," Su Yueyin said.
"Be assured the Disciple will pay attention to the others, Aunt Yueyin," Mo Li replied smilingly.
Wang Jia Li also replied, "Murid received Aunt Yueyin's order."
Su Yueyin again added, "Oh! Don't push your luck too much. Don't risk your life to find the medicine. A savage beast will usually guard the most precious plant."
At that moment, Su Yueyin suddenly made a move. His right hand shot out as fast as the wind, as he gently pinched Wang Jia Li's cheek. "A very smooth, soft and premium-grade meat like this one pretty guy is likely to be very delicious for them."
"Aunt Yueyin, please take care of your dignity," Wang Jia Li said as he frowned.
Su Yueyin shrugged from the side and said, "Hm, I'm just telling the truth. Your skin is too smooth as a man makes me really envious."
"Even I also don't have anyone behind me who always yells, 'Yueyin Junior Sister, Junior Yue' all the time."
While giggling amusedly with his twisted expression, Su Yueyin took out a cylindrical jade. He threw one at each of the five disciples.
"Take this, this is the communication jade to give a sign that you have surrendered while the expedition is underway. If you're having trouble between life and death, don't force your luck and just destroy that thing."
"Using the communication jade means you've given up on the expedition. When you return, you will reflect alone in the white room as Aunt explained."
"okay! Now you can go!"
The five disciples immediately stored the communication jade in their personal storage pouches, cupped their hands and bowed towards Su Yueyin one by one.
Next, they attached the miasma qi antidote talismans on each part of the body. With Wang Jia Li and Mo Li in front of the group, they moved towards the forest covered in miasma qi.
Yan Xu remained half a step behind them as he first attached the miasma qi antidote talisman in his immortal robe.
Then, he quickly lifted the inner layer of his robe and placed another talisman on his inner thigh. Next, he placed the third and final antidote talisman on the back of his inner shirt collar.
That way, the placement of the miasma qi antidote talisman encompassed all parts of his body. So, he did not have to worry if there was one of the talismans that suddenly fell while moving quickly. He just has to be careful in replacing it every few days.
He heard the sound of the wind, as a pair of footsteps quickly walked towards him.
Yan Xu looked disheveled as he advanced two steps easily avoiding the figure running towards him.
Su Yueyin reprimanded him in frustration, "You still haven't left? Remember to follow them closely! You are only at the fifth stage of the golden core! You must be more careful than others."
"Murid will remember Aunt's message. Please always be careful, Aunt Yueyin." Yan Xu turned around and cupped his hands, the corner of his lips twitching slightly. He sent a voice transmission to Su Yueyin at the same time.
Next, Su Yueyin walked away quickly, trailing behind the group of five people.
Miasma qi quickly swallowed them. The miasma-fighting talismans of the four people in front immediately emitted a gentle glow. A thin and transparent protective layer appeared around each of their bodies.
Yan Xu's situation was more amazing, three thin protective layers covered his body so breathing would feel quite difficult. However, the air he was trying to breathe out loudly felt extremely fresh.
Lin Qintian cleared his throat then said, "Senior Brother Yan can come with me later. I'm just here to try my luck. I'm not looking for any special medicinal ingredients. So, Junior Sister Mo Li and the others need not feel burdened."
"Okay, thanks for your attention." Yan Xu smiled at Lin Qintian, while the latter raised his eyebrows in response. A kind of close relationship has developed between the two, this might be spelled out closeness because pity and the other party looks very sad.
