Chapter 200: Don’t Go!
The two individuals were Elder Liao and Cai Ming, who had just set out from Juhufeng.
"Elder Liao, that person named Ji is extremely arrogant; I don’t know why he controls the spiritual herb garden…"
Hearing Elder Liao’s inquiry, Cai Ming felt delighted and once again exaggerated Ji Yang’s misdeeds.
Yes, because this time he did not make the Heart Demon vow!
"Hmph, just an inner disciple; even Yan Pengyi wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant!"
Elder Liao’s expression turned unfriendly. How could a few high-level spiritual plants warrant him personally getting involved?
Cai Ming wisely held his tongue; discussing the two elders could lead to trouble, so he only needed to stand by.
With the elders present, he wanted to see how Ji Yang would argue his way out!
At that moment, Cai Ming imagined Ji Yang being servile, bowing low, wagging his tail in submission, and showing a flattering demeanor.
This filled Cai Ming with great satisfaction and anticipation.
"Elder Liao, please wait!"
At that moment, a voice rang out from outside the flying boat as a figure swiftly intercepted them.
Cai Ming was about to reprimand, but quickly fell silent when he realized the newcomer was also an elder.
Seeing the visitor, Elder Liao waved his hand to stop the flying boat, then smiled and clasped his fists, saying,
"Ah, it’s Elder Shu. I wonder what brings you here?"
Elder Liao felt puzzled; he had only met Elder Shu once at the previous sect assembly and did not know him well. Now, he couldn’t understand why Shu had stopped him.
However, since they were both members of He Dao Sect, Elder Liao remained very friendly.
At this time, Elder Shu did not board the boat. Seeing Elder Liao’s kind demeanor suggested he had not been swayed by "Ji Yang," which was a good sign.
Of course, the reason he dared to stop the flying boat was that he had inadvertently overheard their conversation, which prompted his decision.
He couldn’t let this uncorrupted elder walk into a trap.
"Elder Liao, are you heading to the spiritual herb garden?"
Noticing Elder Shu’s serious expression, Elder Liao also retracted his smile and nodded:
"Indeed, is there something wrong?"
"Wrong? Of course, it’s wrong!"
Elder Shu spoke with a grave expression.
Meanwhile, Cai Ming looked puzzled; no matter how he strained to listen, he couldn’t hear what the two elders were saying and couldn’t even see their lip movements.
But soon, Cai Ming realized the reason: the elder was using his primordial spirit energy to shield his senses, preventing him from hearing. Cai Ming had no way to counter this and could only wait quietly.
"Please, Elder Shu, explain further."
"Sigh, this matter is too strange. If I tell you, Elder Liao, you probably won’t believe me. But if you listen to me, you absolutely must not go to the spiritual herb garden; that person is too dangerous."
Hearing this, Elder Liao’s expression remained calm, yet he felt extremely displeased.
What was this? He was being forbidden to go without a clear reason!
However, since everyone was a sect elder, Elder Liao maintained a pleasant expression and did not directly refuse. He only smiled and said,
"It’s fine. The spiritual herb garden is a place of the sect; what danger could there be?"
"Moreover, I have some important pills to refine and need to go there to gather a few spiritual plants."
Seeing that Elder Liao did not believe him, Elder Shu sighed but no longer obstructed him.
He understood that his single assertion would not convince this elder, yet he was unwilling to reveal the real reason.
Firstly, he didn’t know Elder Liao well enough to trust him.
Secondly, the more people who knew this information, the greater the risk of it leaking, and the situation could easily change.
"If Elder Shu has nothing else, I will take my leave."
Elder Liao cupped his fists in respect and then steered the flying boat to accelerate away.
Elder Shu glanced at the departing boat, spoke no more, and transformed into a beam of Escape Light, setting off with new plans.
"Elder Liao, who was that elder just now?"
After the flying boat had traveled some distance, Cai Ming regained awareness of his surroundings and curiously asked.
At that moment, Elder Liao appeared somewhat distracted.
Although he hadn’t thought much of the words earlier, upon careful reflection, he discovered some peculiarities.
For instance, why had Elder Shu looked pale, as if he suffered from exhaustion?
Moreover, why had Elder Shu looked at him with a gaze full of sympathy when he left?
And what did his words mean?
"That person is too dangerous?"
What danger could a mere disciple pose?
These questions diminished Elder Liao’s initial intent to confront Ji Yang. He wished to return to clarify matters, but it was inconvenient now, and by the time he got back, Ji Yang would have already left.
After pondering, Elder Liao decided he would still go to the spiritual herb garden.
Otherwise, where would his status as an elder go?
If he didn’t go, how would the other disciples view him? Wouldn’t it ruin his reputation?
Seeing that his elder did not answer him, Cai Ming dared not press further.
Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of the spiritual herb garden.
"Greetings, Elder!"
As another elder approached, the guard disciples quickly nodded and greeted him, while promptly notifying Ji Yang. For safety, they paid extra attention to this elder’s demeanor.
This left a hint of displeasure on Elder Liao’s face, but he said nothing.
When the disciples noticed Cai Ming standing proudly nearby, they all inwardly groaned, realizing this was likely an act of revenge.
But they reassured themselves that Senior Brother Ji would handle it well.
After all, they were merely the gatekeepers.
With this thought, they felt considerably more relaxed.
After sending the message, the disciples waited anxiously, but Ji Yang did not come out.
This made the guard disciples grow uneasy again.
However, when they looked up at the elder waiting patiently, his expression seemed unaffected.
This caused them to marvel.
Truly, an elder possesses excellent composure.
In contrast, Cai Ming wore a slight smile; if not for Elder Liao being nearby, he would have laughed out loud.
The longer the elder waited, the greater his anger would be, and Ji Yang would look increasingly miserable.
Perfect, he began to anticipate it.
After waiting for a little while longer, Ji Yang leisurely emerged from the spiritual herb garden.
When he received the Transmission message, Ji Yang had been tending to his top-tier spiritual plants.
Thinking about the elder who had mysteriously gone missing before, Ji Yang figured this elder might also leave soon, but it seemed that would not be the case now.
When Ji Yang saw the unfamiliar elder and Cai Ming beside him, he sighed internally.
Trouble had arrived right at his doorstep.
But Ji Yang was not overly worried; he had anticipated this situation beforehand.
After all, most disciples who came seeking spiritual plants were following the elders’ directives, and if disciples couldn’t obtain the plants, the elders would naturally take matters into their own hands.
