Chapter 368
by fanqienovelChapter 368: Senior Sister, Take Care
Without giving Ren Yuning a chance to speak, Ji Yang directly used his powers to capture her from a distance.
Then, he flew towards the outside of the peak with her!
Just as Ren Yuning was about to resist, a messaging talisman at her waist lit up with news.
Upon receiving the news, Ren Yuning’s face lit up with joy!
After a while, Ji Yang saw someone waiting outside Jingtan Peak; it was clearly the person meant for the transfer.
However, when Ji Yang saw who it was, the look in his eyes changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
"I presume this is Senior Brother Ji; I am Tai Jin. Thank you for your rescue this time!"
Indeed, the visitor was none other than Tai Jin, the nephew of Elder Tai!
He was the cultivator who had entered the Alchemy Peak’s spiritual herb garden with Ji Yang. Although his appearance had changed slightly, his aura was unmistakable.
"Senior Brother is too polite; just call me Junior Brother!"
Ji Yang responded humbly.
After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was still quite significant; this Tai Jin was probably sent by Elder Tai himself to thank Ji Yang personally.
After greeting, Tai Jin turned his gaze to Ji Yang.
After failing to steal the spiritual plants from Alchemy Peak, Tai Jin had been detained by the Heaven Demon Sect. Although he was quite strong, escaping from the sect’s headquarters was impossible.
Just when Tai Jin felt desperate, the sect’s cultivators unexpectedly released him, which puzzled him greatly.
He could only conclude that someone from the sect had intervened.
Upon returning, he quickly learned that it was his elder, Elder Tai, who had done this. However, upon hearing the full details, his astonishment was hard to contain.
He never expected that the true reason was due to the new disciple at Jingtan Peak!
While he didn’t know Ji Yang’s exact cultivation level, the ability to infiltrate the Demon Sect and bring out the Sect Leader’s daughter meant he was surely no ordinary cultivator.
This was Tai Jin’s speculation before he met Ji Yang, but upon seeing him, a trace of doubt arose in Tai Jin’s heart.
Why did this Senior Brother Ji only have the cultivation level of the mid Foundation Establishment stage?
With such a level, not only would hiding within the Heaven Demon Sect be difficult, but even entering it would be a challenge; how could he possibly have contacted the Sect Leader’s daughter?
But looking at Ren Yuning beside him, Tai Jin confirmed she was indeed the young lady from the Heaven Demon Sect, no mistake about it; he had seen her face while lurking in the sect.
Yet because of this, Tai Jin’s curiosity about Ji Yang grew even more.
On one hand, it was his identity, and on the other, it was his concealed cultivation level. Tai Jin felt that this Junior Brother before him was certainly not ordinary.
Moreover, this Junior Brother was also Peak Master Ye’s disciple, which added a touch of seriousness to Tai Jin’s gaze.
He planned to sincerely thank Ji Yang, but for some reason, he felt that Ji Yang looked somewhat familiar, as if they had met somewhere before.
However, he had never returned to the sect and had mostly been lurking in the Heaven Demon Sect.
Could it be that they crossed paths within the Heaven Demon Sect?
He had heard of Ji Yang’s experiences during his trials; this Junior Brother had also infiltrated the Demon Sect. However, the messages did not elaborate on his identity or name, leaving only that possibility.
With this in mind, Tai Jin smiled and inquired:
“May I ask, Senior Brother Ji, which peak were you hiding in at the Heaven Demon Sect? I’m a bit curious!”
Hearing Tai Jin’s question, Ji Yang realized that Tai Jin might have noticed some inconsistencies. Thankfully, even when introducing himself to Elder Liu, he only provided a general overview and did not reveal his hidden identity.
However, this matter had already spread throughout the Heaven Demon Sect; even if he kept silent, Tai Jin would definitely find out later, especially since Ji Yang’s actions had caused quite a stir there. A little investigation would uncover the truth.
To avoid provoking Tai Jin, Ji Yang smiled and replied, “I was hiding at Qi Peak!”
Upon hearing Ji Yang’s explanation, Tai Jin nodded.
Seeing Ji Yang unwilling to elaborate further, he decided not to press the issue; after all, his purpose here was to thank Ji Yang.
Recalling the person who framed him and stole his treasures, Tai Jin felt anger rise within him. If it weren’t for that individual, he might have been able to escape unscathed, avoiding capture by the Heaven Demon Sect altogether.
Tai Jin vowed that once he identified that person, he would make sure they paid the price!
“Senior Brother, that person is from the Heaven Demon Sect. Since you’re here, you should take them away.”
To send Tai Jin off, Ji Yang pulled Ren Yuning over and said this to him.
Tai Jin glanced at the daughter of the Sect Leader, a hint of regret in his eyes. He understood that even as a prisoner, she was still different from others.
“Alright, then I will take my leave. There are Heaven Demon Sect cultivators waiting outside!”
Tai Jin nodded, ready to take Ren Yuning away.
But at that moment, Ren Yuning spoke up:
“Wait, give me back my things!”
Ren Yuning reached out towards Ji Yang.
Ji Yang replied, puzzled, “What things?”
“My storage ring that you took earlier!”
“I haven’t seen it!”
Ji Yang shook his head; the storage ring contained the green seeds he had been longing for that day.
Just as Ji Yang planned to wait until Ren Yuning had left to examine it closely, he heard her, as if sensing his thoughts, say unhappily, “That’s not a spiritual plant or spiritual grain, just a treasure. If you give me back the storage ring, I’ll collect some top-quality spiritual grains seeds for you from the Heaven Demon Sect later, how does that sound?”
“Is that true? Senior Sister Ning!”
Hearing about the spiritual grain seeds, Ji Yang’s face broke into a gentle smile, and he reverted to calling her Senior Sister Ning.
He didn’t want to change the way he addressed her, but he couldn’t resist the offer of spiritual grain seeds!
He had yet to collect the spiritual grain seeds from the Heaven Demon Sect, and with Ren Yuning’s help, he might achieve considerable rewards.
Who could resist the temptation of spiritual grain seeds?
“Yes, really!”
When Ren Yuning heard Ji Yang call her that, her expression darkened momentarily. She took a deep breath and nodded.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Here, Senior Sister, this is your storage ring. Remember to keep it safe next time! Don’t let any bad people steal it!”
Ren Yuning silently clenched her fist and remained quiet.
Ji Yang took Ren Yuning’s storage ring from the Heaven’s Secret Pearl and decisively tossed it to her!
Perhaps the storage ring contained many valuable items, but compared to the spiritual grain seeds, the latter was far more important.
Besides, after everything that had happened, infiltrating the Heaven Demon Sect again would likely not be easy. Even reaching their territory might prove to be a challenge.
After receiving her storage ring, Ren Yuning examined it for a moment, noting that the imprint remained and nothing was lost inside. A smile finally returned to her face.
“Senior Sister, take care! Don’t forget to collect some spiritual grain seeds for me when you return! Top-tier spiritual plants would be great too!”
Ren Yuning took another deep breath but managed to reply patiently, “Got it!”
However, she had another thought in her mind!
