EBE Chapter 694 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 2
Chapter 694 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 2
Each palace of Qingyun Sect was built at a different elevation, and only the lower palaces had staircases.
The five palaces above are the residences of the sect leader, deputy sect leader, and eighteen elders, and none of them have connecting staircases.
The open space in the middle of the mountain forest is filled with all kinds of different trees.
White pear blossoms, pink peach blossoms, golden ginkgo blossoms, red plum blossoms, pine trees, cypress trees, and mulberry trees are all present, and most of them grow alternately.
Everyone else had to use their lightness skills to ascend and descend each palace.
This method can motivate disciples to improve; if they want to advance, they must work hard to practice their lightness skills.
The disciples within the sect all practice with the goal of being able to ascend several levels without relying on others for support.
Wen Piaoran's palace is the palace at the highest peak of the sect, a standalone building that stands in the center of the mountaintop.
She opened the window and could see the buildings below, layer upon layer, rising and falling, standing on both sides, as well as the square where the disciples practiced martial arts at the very bottom.
Actually, this kind of architecture is quite similar to the style of the cultivation world.

In the early years of the Da Xi era, chaos and constant struggles plagued the martial arts world.
The largest sect in the martial arts world, the Power Gang, which dominates the martial arts world, is locked in a fierce battle with the Waterway Sect, whose leader, Zhu Datianwang, has long controlled the waterways.
The only sect capable of standing up to them alone is the Qingyun Sect, which remains aloof from worldly affairs.
People from the Qingyun Sect generally do not participate in Jianghu affairs. They have their own set of rules in their own territory, and they are neither afraid of trouble nor do they provoke it.
Everyone knows that the Qingyun Sect has eighteen elders, each of whom can rival the leader of a powerful force, so their strength is unimaginable.
The Power Gang and Zhu Datianwang's factions had sent people to test the bottom line of the Qingyun Sect and to take action against their forces scattered throughout the country.
Everyone was just watching the show, but in the end, Yunshang, the deputy sect leader of Qingyun Sect, personally led people back to retaliate even more severely and intimidate them.
Both the Power Gang and Zhu Datianwang abandoned their provocative intentions and decided to coexist peacefully with Qingyun Sect for the time being.
As for Wen Piaoran, the leader of Qingyun Sect, she has always been mysterious, and very few people have seen her true face.
*
Where is she, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, right now?
Wen Piaoran was wearing a dark green belted long dress, a mask on her face, and several white jade hairpins and dark green tassel hair ornaments in her hair.
She walked down the street and bought anything delicious or fun that she saw along the way.
"Sigh, Xiaoqi, you know, being too good-looking is a problem. You can even get into a fight just to go out for a meal."
She has been in this world for over ten years, and not only has the Qingyun Sect she founded grown larger and larger.
Her appearance became increasingly beautiful, and she often admired herself.
Xiao Qi pouted: "Host, if your tone were a little more natural and your lips were a little more relaxed, I would believe you. You were clearly fighting on purpose."
The host was having dinner in the lobby of the restaurant when some clueless people came over and started talking to her.
They are offensive either with their eyes or with their words.
The host always waits until she finishes eating before she takes action; if anyone interrupts her meal, she will be beaten even more severely.
Therefore, when a host doesn't want to provoke anyone, they will wear a mask.
Wen Piaoran raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "I was just itching to practice. This punching bag was delivered to my door for free, so it's perfect for me to practice."
"So you deliberately sent Amu out on an errand just so you could get into a fight?"
"I guess so. With Amu around, I don't even have to lift a finger. I'm pretty free without any side quests, so I never thought I'd actually take the initiative to do something."
Xiao Qi suggested, "Host, why don't you find something to do? The plot has already started, you can go and see what's going on."
"We'll talk about it later. I'll go back to the inn first."
Back at the inn, Wen Piaoran had just finished bathing and changing her clothes when Amu, who was also wearing a mask, pushed open the door and came in, holding a letter in his hand.
"Master, there is a letter from the deputy sect leader."
"bring here."
Only less important matters would be sent by letter.
In the letter, Yunshang said that someone had come to visit her and asked if she was going back.
If things were still the same as before, Yunshang would definitely not send her a message if ordinary people came to visit her, but would simply send them away.
It seems that the people this time are definitely a bit special.
"Xiao Qi, who came to the door looking for me?" Wen Piaoran asked casually.
"Host, I think you should be able to guess this." Xiao Qi deliberately kept it a secret.
She thought about the current plot and roughly knew who it was: "Although I'm not that surprised, I have to say that he really tried to get all the help he could think of."
Xiao Qi: "Qingyun Sect has a prestigious reputation in the martial arts world, but it has never appeared in the plot of the book. Do you think he might suspect that you are like him?"
"We've been out for over a month now. The original plan was to slowly head back, but we'll stick to the original plan and see if he has the patience to wait."
*
Three days later, at the summit of Qingyun Sect, in the palace with the plaque "Mountain Moonlit Night" hanging above it, which is also where the sect leader lives.
Wen Piaoran leaned back on the couch and picked up a wine cup from the table.
I watched as several girls in dance costumes swayed their slender waists, flicked their sleeves, twirled, and twisted their wrists in front of me. Their dance movements were graceful and beautiful.
There were two men beside them, one playing the zither and the other playing the flute.
Next time, we should change it up and find some good-looking men to dance.
When Amu arrived at the door, he called out, "Sect Master, the Third Young Master of the Huanhua Sword Sect has arrived."
"Bring the person in," Wen Piaoran said, then put on her mask.
A moment later, the two walked in. She looked over and met Xiao Qiushui's gaze, who was scrutinizing her. Xiao Qiushui was the male protagonist of this world.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Wen. My name is Xiao Qiushui."
Wen Piaoran stretched out her arm toward a table and chairs to the side, gesturing for him to come over: "Sit down."
After sitting down, Xiao Qiushui glanced at the dancing girls and the musicians and thought that Sect Leader Wen was in high spirits and knew how to enjoy himself.
"Young Master Xiao, what brings you here to pay me a visit?"
Xiao Qiushui glanced at the others, and Wen Piaoran waved for them to leave: "Young Master Xiao can speak with peace of mind."
"I have heard about the deeds of the sect leader after he established the Qingyun Sect, and I admire him greatly. I just happened to be passing by and came here to pay my respects."
Wen Piaoran glanced at her with a smile, her eyes saying, "Do you even believe what you're saying?"
He was just passing by and paid a visit, but he'd wait here for days just to see me?
Moreover, he himself rarely appears in the martial arts world; Yunshang is the one in charge. His words seem too untrue.
Xiao Qiushui also felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, and chuckled awkwardly: "When I met the sect leader today, I felt an instant connection with him..."
"Young Master Xiao, please speak frankly." Wen Piaoran interrupted his roundabout words, somewhat annoyed.
"Alright, I've heard a poem that I found quite beautiful. Would Sect Leader Wen be willing to listen to it?"
This awkward topic, uh...
Although I know he is testing me, we haven't arrived yet, so can we talk about the relationship between poetry and distant places?
