Chapter 443: Diverting trouble to the east
"What's going on? Is there any grudge between this Fairy of Flowers and the Strange Poison Sect?" Pei Yun asked curiously.
He Zhidao put down his wine glass, with an expression of watching the fun and not minding the trouble, and whispered:
"I heard that this Fairy of Flowers encountered danger in a secret place in Xichuanzhou and was rescued by Chen Lingxi who was present at the time. Since then, she has secretly fallen in love with Chen Lingxi and has been pursuing him relentlessly. After knowing that the Grand Elder of the Strange Poison Sect is Chen Lingxi's fourth wife, she even acted weird and challenged him in public several times. During the last poison testing conference, we witnessed a good show with our own eyes..."
"This Fairy of Flowers is indeed..." After hearing his words, Pei Yun's impression of this Fairy of Flowers became even worse.
He Jing shook his head and said, "His parents are both well-known figures in Xichuanzhou. He grew up in a pampered environment. Look at these people present. Although they don't say anything, they are actually waiting to see the joke in their hearts..."
"Then the reason why this Fairy of Flowers comes to Wufang City at this time is..." Pei Yun thought of something and found it a little unbelievable.
He Zhidao and his disciples nodded at her: "It is to participate in the poison testing conference. The great elder of the Strange Poison Sect will also show up, and the two of them will definitely have a contest."
"Why is that? Venerable Lingxi will not appear at the poison tasting conference. Did she come here just to see her love rival?!" Pei Yun couldn't understand what Fairy Baihua did.
"The last time she participated in the poison testing conference, it was to compete with the Great Elder of the Strange Poison Sect and crack the poison made by this Great Elder... Maybe she wanted to prove that she was more powerful than this Great Elder?"
"Did she succeed?"
"Of course not. The cultivation level of this great elder of the Strange Poison Sect is one level higher than yours. The people of the Strange Poison Sect all rely on poison to improve their cultivation level, which shows how strong the poison refined by this great elder is. The Ten Thousand Flowers Valley and the Golden Sword Sect are not sects that specialize in refining pills, so how could they possibly break her poison..."
"Then uncle, you didn't crack it either?"
"Ha! Of course I am... short of manpower! That's why I asked you to come this time. As a poison tester, I may not be able to refine the elixir independently, so I need you and He Jing to cooperate with me..."
He Zhidao raised his chin proudly as he spoke, "Although I was unable to refine a pill to break her poison, my body is immune to all poisons, and I was able to neutralize her poison in half a day."
As the three of them were talking, a group of people from the Fairy of Flowers and four disciples from the Strange Poison Sect were arguing heatedly not far away...
"Young Valley Master, what did you promise the Valley Master and the Sect Master? They said not to cause trouble in the territory of the Strange Poison Sect!"
The young man next to the Fairy of Flowers tried his best to stop her from taking action, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"Brother Miao, you also saw that this time I was not the one who caused the trouble first. It was the people from the Strange Poison Sect who provoked me first. If I didn't fight back, they would think that Wanhua Valley and Jindao Sect were easy to bully!"
The Fairy of Flowers was completely furious. She pushed the person in front of her away and was about to rush forward.
This inn is owned by the Qidu Cult. In order to prevent the inn from being destroyed, the members of the Qidu Cult came to the street outside the door. Now there were even more people watching around!
Pei Yun and the other two also joined in the fun and arrived at the door of the inn. There were already several circles of people surrounding the two forces.
"What? You failed to crack my master's poison in the last poison testing conference. Do you want to be slapped in the face by my master again this time?" Senior Sister Zhao, the leader of the Qi Du Sect, sarcastically said fearlessly.
"Senior Sister Zhao, speaking of which, the Great Elder just attended the birthday banquet of Venerable Lingxi a while ago. I heard that Venerable Lingxi gave the Great Elder a lot of treasures, one of which was made by Venerable Lingxi himself." Another disciple of the Qidu Sect deliberately provoked the Fairy of Flowers in front of him and showed off.
"What about some people? They are so shameless but can't get any attention from Venerable Lingxi. Oh, this person is really infuriating!"
The Fairy of Flowers was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hands and suddenly five different flowers appeared around her. The buds gradually blossomed and emitted a rich fragrance...
Pei Yun and the other two quickly held their breath, but some people who were slow to react became dizzy and unstable the moment they smelled the fragrance of the flowers. Those with lower cultivation even fell to the ground with blood coming out of all their orifices and their eyes closed.
At the moment when the petals completely blossomed, a translucent drop of water floated up from the stamen. Five flowers and five drops of water formed a complex rune and attacked the four people of the Strange Poison Sect...
Senior Sister Zhao from the Qidu Sect was no pushover either. The spider mark on her palm emitted a red light, and the next moment, a giant spider phantom appeared in front of everyone. It kept spitting out spider silk and weaving a spider web. The spider web was full of venom, which emitted green poisonous gas that blended with the fragrance of the flowers...
"Get out of the way!" Someone in the crowd kindly reminded them, and the monks with lower cultivation levels had already hidden far away, no longer caring to watch the fun.
Pei Yun raised his hand and waved, and a transparent barrier appeared at the entrance of the inn, easily blocking the attacks from both sides.
Many people couldn't help but feel favorable towards Pei Yun after seeing his actions, so they could watch the show with peace of mind.
The two sides fought for a while, but neither could do anything to the other. Senior Sister Zhao and Fairy Baihua were both in the early Nascent Soul stage and had similar strengths.
The man called Senior Brother Miao beside the Fairy of Flowers was in the late Nascent Soul stage, but he did not attack, he just protected the Fairy of Flowers.
"Why don't you kill her for me!" The Fairy of Flowers roared at him.
Miao Qi did not respond to her, but warned: "The Valley Master only asked me to protect you. Besides, you killed a disciple of the Qi Du Sect in the Qi Du Sect's territory. Do you think the Qi Du Sect will let it go?"
What an idiot! Miao Qi couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"That's none of your business!" Fairy Baihua said angrily. She was about to take out the magic weapon her father gave her and attack with all her strength. At this moment, a flying magic weapon was coming towards here in the sky not far away.
"...Master is here!" Zhao Xia's heart tightened and she unconsciously stopped her attack.
Not only her, everyone present noticed that people from the Qidu Sect had arrived!
A woman in a black dress slowly walked down from the flying magic weapon. Zhao Xia immediately walked forward with three fellow apprentices and sisters, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master."
"Meet the Great Elder."
A hint of jealousy and gloom appeared on the face of Fairy Baihua. In terms of appearance, Fairy Baihua was not inferior to Yueji, but the great elder of the Qidu Sect had a mysterious and charming temperament, which unconsciously attracted the attention of people around him.
Yue Ji's beautiful eyes moved and gently swept across the face of the Fairy of Flowers. There was no expression on her face. Such indifference, or disdain, made the Fairy of Flowers even more angry.
"This person is so uneducated as your disciple. It seems that your master is not that good either!" Fairy Baihua raised her chin and said sarcastically.
Yue Ji smiled lightly and said, "If the other party is polite, my Qidu Sect will naturally treat him with courtesy. If the other party is rude first, my Qidu Sect will not be polite either..."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people present nodded in agreement. To be honest, this matter was caused by the Fairy of Flowers. If she hadn't been unreasonable and used her status to threaten the innkeeper, the disciples of the Strange Poison Sect would not have made sarcastic remarks.
"Junior Sister Baihua, let's just end it here." Miao Qi stopped Fairy Baihua from saying anything more. Feeling deeply ashamed, he bowed to Yue Ji and was about to leave with a group of people from Wanhua Valley.
Unexpectedly, after glancing at the group of people, Yue Ji suddenly looked in one direction and uttered "Huh" softly.
"You actually came here?" Yue Ji walked towards Pei Yun in full view of everyone, with a playful smile on her face, "Pei Yun."
Pei Yun did not expect that the great elder of the Qidu Sect actually recognized her. She had only met the man twice, both times in Lingxi Palace. They had never spoken to each other, and Chen Lingxi had never introduced his fourth wife to her. They were not even an acquaintance.
Under the curious and inquiring gazes of the people around him, Pei Yun bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior."
"After you left Lingxi Mountain, Lingxi specifically instructed his subordinates not to make things difficult for you and Yunshan Sect. If anyone attacked you because of Chen Ruyue's matter, he would expel that person from the sect..."
Yue Ji smiled with an ambiguous tone, "I think Lingxi thinks highly of you..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed. They looked at Pei Yun with eager gossip in their eyes. Of course, Pei Yun also felt a look with hidden malice. Without looking at Pei Yun, one knew that this person must be the Fairy of Flowers.
Pei Yun didn't understand why the man in front of him suddenly said this. Was it to "divert the trouble away"? But just now, seeing that the elder didn't take Fairy Baihua seriously at all, why was there any need to do this? She frowned slightly and said:
"Regarding the matter of Chen Ruyue, I believe I have done nothing wrong. Venerable Lingxi is a highly respected Taoist master, and he is naturally a person who can distinguish right from wrong..."
Yue Ji looked at Pei Yun steadily, and did not continue to test him. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "Miss, are you here in Wufang City for the poison testing conference?"
"I have heard of the great name of the Strange Poison Sect for a long time, so my uncle and I and I wanted to come and see it for ourselves."
"You and I are destined to meet. If that's the case, why don't you come with me to visit the Qidu Sect?" Yue Ji invited.
Pei Yun politely declined: "Senior, you are too polite. It's just that Wufang City is very prosperous and I want to go around. Besides, I need to prepare the materials for alchemy. I'd better wait until the day of the poison testing conference before coming."
Seeing that she refused, Yue Ji did not force her. She just glanced at her with a smile and left with the four disciples of the Qidu Sect. As for the Fairy of Flowers, except for retorting her at the beginning, she never paid any attention to her again.
Fairy Baihua looked at the people from the Strange Poison Sect with a gloomy face as they left. Suddenly, she turned her gloomy eyes to Pei Yun. Pei Yun looked at her expressionlessly. Under the gaze of everyone with different expressions, he and He Zhidao left the hall and returned to the backyard...
