Chapter 106, Returning to the Sect (4)

“ Cough, please all of you leave first. After I have organized the Profound Thunder Divine Formula, I will deliver it to the sect. Whenever you need it in the future, you may directly enter the sect’s manual library to peruse it.” Lei Wei coughed lightly and spoke.
After everyone had departed, Su Ye found a seat, yawned casually, and said, “Master, the sect master is quite the clever man.”
“Su Ye, as a junior, one must not casually judge elders. The sect master is an extraordinary person. Whether this matter is a blessing or a curse for our Wangyue Sect is hard to predict.” Lei Wei glared at Su Ye and sighed, then spoke.
The Wangyue Sect’s foundation is weak. If word got out that they possessed such a technique, before the sect grew strong, who knew what troubles it might bring? Although the sect master, Leng Fengyang, had issued a gag order, this matter...
“Master, you shouldn’t overthink it. In this world, many things can’t be endured by worrying. As the saying goes, when soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, cover with earth. What we need to do now is to quickly strengthen our own strength. As for the rest, let it be.”
Su Ye was incredibly intelligent. He immediately saw what Lei Wei was worried about and couldn’t help but advise, “That’s right, Su Ye is wise. For all these years, this master has lived in vain and sees things less expansively than you. Speaking of which, the most praiseworthy thing about Lei Wei in this lifetime is that I have accepted you several excellent disciples.”
Lei Wei came back to his senses, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then shifted the topic. Looking at the four disciples present, his tone was filled with pride.
“Master, stop being so sentimental. Little Sister has experienced nine deaths and one life to return successfully. Shouldn’t we prepare a celebration feast for her?” Chu Qing’s eyes flickered lightly, picking up the thread. She was extremely respectful and satisfied with Lei Wei as her master but could not bear to see such sentimental scenes.
“Good, Chu Qing is right. That Mo’er could successfully return from the Blue Moon Lake is truly a great fortune for our Lei Thunder Peak. Let us toast to it. This matter shall be left to you few to prepare.” Lei Wei was ultimately a carefree and true man. Being interrupted by Su Ye and Chu Qing, he immediately regained his usual openness.
“Good, good. Thank you, Master. Second Sister, I haven’t had your fine wine for many years. Today, you must not hold back. Since you are going to bring out all your good wines, let me savor them thoroughly.” Ji Mo was overjoyed upon hearing this. She took several steps to Chu Qing’s side, hugged her arm, and exclaimed loudly.
“You little brat, you’ve all grown as tall as me. Looking at your fierce combat prowess, even if we fight, I might not be able to beat you. But look at how you act and speak; you still seem like an immature little girl. Are you ashamed?” Chu Qing took her delicate and refined face in her hands and rubbed it for a while.
She watched as the little gold lying on Ji Mo’s shoulder slapped its paws in agreement! This fellow had been bullied by Ji Mo from the beginning and had a bellyful of resentment. Now that Ji Mo was being molested, she was very happy. Ji Mo didn’t care that her face was still in Chu Qing’s hands; she tilted her head slightly and slapped it flying with a palm. She didn’t forget to scold, “Dead Little Jin, I let you watch the show!”
“Hahaha, Little Sister, it seems this beast pet of yours is full of resentment towards you as its master!” Ji Mo’s master and several senior brothers and sisters laughed loudly at the sight.
Especially Chu Qing, who was holding Ji Mo’s face, laughed the loudest. Ji Mo fiercely glared at Little Jin, frantically rescued her face that had been rubbed painfully by Chu Qing, and muttered nonsense, “Senior Sister, you’re retaliating for the insult. You think I’m prettier than you, so you’re using poison on my face.”
“Hehe, little girl, you’ve grown up, and your courage has swelled. You dare to criticize me? I’ll beat you.” Chu Qing laughed lightly and slapped out. Ji Mo spun in place, dodged it, then pounced and tangled with her. Meanwhile, Feng Chengying, Su Ye, and Lin Zechen stood smilingly on the side watching the fun without intervening.
“Cough, cough, you’re all grown up but still acting like children throwing tantrums. Qing’er, go with Chengying to fetch the wine. Su Ye, you handle the dishes. Zechen, help Su Ye. Tonight, we master and disciples will drink together without getting drunk.” Lei Wei couldn’t stand it and coughed lightly, putting on his master’s majesty and instructing.
“Fourth Senior Brother is very good at cooking?” Ji Mo, upon hearing this, quickly escaped Chu Qing’s clutches and leaped to Su Ye’s side, asking with great interest.
“Hmm, your second sister is good at brewing wine, but your fourth senior brother is exceptionally skilled in cooking. Even the things he makes, even us who have long since stopped eating, can’t help but salivate.” Lei Wei said.
“Really? Then I’ll look forward to savoring Fourth Senior Brother’s craftsmanship. By the way, I have some good ingredients here. They’ll make excellent seasonings for frying and grilling.” Ji Mo spoke and took out the ingredients she had brought from the Moon City from her spatial ring, handing them to Su Ye. Su Ye, who possessed the talent of a weird chef, his eyes immediately lit up upon receiving them.
“Ehehe, Master, since you’ve arranged everything and there’s nothing left for me, I’ll go go see Brother Zhao Hu. How about that?” After handing over the ingredients, Ji Mo smiled brightly and turned to look at Lei Wei.
“Zhao Hu? That child is not bad. His aptitude is excellent, and he can endure hardships. These years, he has already become the foremost in the body cultivation peer group. Moreover, he has feelings and righteousness towards you. Over these ten years you fell into the Blue Moon Lake, he would go to the lake shore to sit for a while every now and then, showing how concerned he is for you in his heart. Back then, hearing that you lived with their family for three years, you two were like brother and sister, right?” Talking about Zhao Hu, Lei Wei’s words were full of praise.
“That’s right. Zhao Hu’s family’s great kindness to me, I will never be able to repay in this lifetime. If not for Uncle Changfeng and Aunt Jiang, when my parents died, this silly girl would have starved to death long ago. How could I have survived until now? So, in my heart, Brother Zhao Hu is my own brother, and Uncle Changfeng and Aunt Jiang are my reborn parents.” Ji Mo said.
“You are all good children. Go on, go see him, bring him over later, and join our dinner tonight.” Lei Wei said.
“Thank you, Master.” Ji Mo thanked Lei Wei, summoned the White Jade Flood Dragon Whip, carrying Little Jin like a drag bottle on her shoulder, and flew towards the Xingwu Peak. This guy, who had just been slapped away by Ji Mo, shortly after without skin or face, again leaped onto Ji Mo’s shoulder.
The peak where body cultivators are located is called Xingwu Peak. Although it is a barren peak, it does not qualify to be compared with the other five main peaks of the Wangyue Sect. The body cultivation academy has no peak master; there are only three elders in total. These three elders have all reached the Qi Zhen Realm. After reaching the Qi Zhen Realm, no matter how hard they try, they cannot take another step forward.
