Chapter 517 Heading to the War Puppet Mansion
After the Ascension Ceremony ended, Xue Lan stayed at the Xuanhuang Sect for another three days, during which time she was busy moving things out of her previous weapon-refining cave.
Xue Tong leaned against the entrance of the cave, watching the two spiders and one person bustling about inside, and couldn't help but speak:
Are you never going to come back?
Xue Lan carried the head of a puppet on her shoulder, a cunning smile on her face.
"Xiao Tong, we're going to the War Puppet Mansion! The War Puppet Mansion!"
"These puppets are all old. Taking them to the War Puppet Palace will allow Junjun to repair them. It's much better without spending any money."
Xue Lan caught a puppet arm that Xue Xiaofei was carrying:
"You're the head of a sect now, can't you be a little more magnanimous?"
"The spirit stones from the Wan Gong Fang are enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."
Xue Lan wouldn't listen; Xue Lan shook her head. Xue Lan had her own unorthodox methods.
"You have to spend your own money, and you also have to take advantage of other people's money."
Xue Tong had given up hope of persuading her, so the girl resignedly rolled up her sleeves and helped Xue Lan tidy up her things.
"Actually, I've been quite uneasy these past few days." Xue Lan placed the puppet's head inside the box.
"I was acting out of my inner demons during the meeting, why didn't my senior uncle come and beat me?"
"What's meant to happen will happen, so don't wait any longer!" Xue Tong said.
The next day, Xue Lan looked at Tu Shan Yan in her fiery red dress and thought to herself that what was meant to happen was inevitable.
The beautiful woman with fluffy fox ears looked at Xue Lan gently, but her words were chilling:
"I have some knowledge of the path of inner demons, and I have been entrusted by you two seniors to accompany you to the War Puppet Mansion."
Xue Lan pouted, wishing she could cover her head and roll on the ground the next second:
"Are you very free, senior?"
Tu Shan Yan nodded: "Yes, I'm a bit free!"
Xue Lan: Then go have some fun, go catch rabbits!
Having a ninth-realm demon as a bodyguard is certainly cool, but it also means losing your freedom!
"Senior Sister Xue, you should just accept your fate!"
Du Tao, who had been watching the two of them from behind, stepped forward, his gaze towards Xue Lan filled with pity:
"Master Kongming said that either Senior Tushan will follow you, or he will follow you personally."
Xue Lan: Only Master Kongmingzi would go to such extremes.
The woman sighed softly and resignedly spoke to Du Tao:
"Come here, your senior sister is giving you something."
Du Tao cautiously stepped forward:
"Is it really a delivery?"
Is it because he complained to Senior Brother Xu that they're planning to punish him?
"I'm really giving you something!" Xue Lan was heartbroken by the distrust in her junior brother's eyes. A wooden box appeared out of thin air in the woman's hand.
“The elders of the Xuanhuang Sect’s Enforcement Hall all have whips, so I made one for you too.”
Xue Lan took out the whip made from Jin San Niang's dragon bone from the box and lashed it out without striking the target.
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound of the whip echoed throughout the front of Xuanling Peak, and Xue Lan handed the whip to Du Tao.
“Junior Brother Du, this whip is top-notch in both materials and craftsmanship. Its power will increase with the killing intent in your heart.”
Du Tao looked at the long, black whip in Xue Lan's hand but did not reach out.
The young man's voice was tinged with bitterness:
"What Senior Sister Xue makes is naturally the best, but Du Tao is not worthy of it."
"Senior sister, you should keep it for another fellow disciple."
The smile on Xue Lan's face vanished the instant the young man finished speaking.
“Junior Brother Du still doesn’t understand me.” Xue Lan’s tone carried a cold smile, and her gray-white eyes were as clear as glass in Du Tao’s eyes.
"Every magical artifact I forge has its destined owner the moment the furnace is lit."
The woman bent down, pulled Du Tao's hand up, and forcefully shoved the whip into the young man's hand:
"This is the whip for you to enforce the law, a tribute to your unwavering impartiality."
"For thousands of years to come, if you find someone like yourself who enforces the law, pass this whip on to him!"
Du Tao wanted to refuse, but Xue Lan had already turned and walked to Xu Qinghe, giving him no chance to speak.
The young man looked down at the long, black whip in his hand, his eyes slightly moist.
On the other side, Xue Lan had just walked up to Xu Qinghe when she saw the person in front of her reach out her hand.
The woman had bright, expressive eyes and seemed to be in a good mood.
"where is my present?"
Xue Lan: Yes, yes!
The woman rummaged through her sleeve for a while, then secretly slipped a top-grade source crystal into Xu Qinghe's hand.
"Here, take this and set it on your jade flute." Xue Lan spoke softly.
"Don't let the headmaster find out."
Xu Qinghe glanced at what was in her palm and couldn't help but whisper:
"Top-grade Origin Crystal, you've struck it rich?"
Xue Lan nodded proudly:
"Make a small fortune!"
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
Xue Lan straightened up, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Xu Qinghe:
"Save the osmanthus flowers from Yunhui Peak for me, so I can eat osmanthus cake when I get back!"
Xu Qinghe nodded with a smile:
"it is good!"
The oars beneath the giant flying boat moved slowly, and Xue Tong watched as the Xuanling Peak beneath her feet grew smaller and smaller.
In the end, amidst the layers of mist, she could only see Xu Qinghe's light blue dress.
"Ugh!"
The girl sighed softly and couldn't help but grumble:
"These past few years, I've always been traveling with you, never staying in one place for long, always in a rush."
Xue Lan was like a gust of wind, and she couldn't stop either.
"It's all good now that it's over." Xue Lan patted Xue Tong's head.
"When I have time, I'll take you to the capital of the Great Shun Dynasty to see Sister Yu Niang and the others."
Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan, then turned her back to her.
She felt she was born to be a beast of burden, for the following reasons:
First, they followed their boss, who provided meals but no wages, without complaint, going to great lengths for him.
Second, they have excellent digestive systems and can digest the promises made by their bosses on their own.
three……
A wronged voice came from behind Xue Tong:
"Xiao Tong wouldn't have the heart to watch a blind man like me wander around like this, would she?"
Third, they are easily swayed by their soft hearts and thus fall into their boss's trap.
"I can't bear it! You go and play with Yan Chengxue, let me get some fresh air by myself."
"Ok!"
Xue Lan obediently and chubby rolled from Xue Tong's side to Yan Chengxue's side:
"I'm going to the War Puppet Mansion now. Where will you arrange for me to stay?"
Yan Chengxue held a jade slip containing ancient formations in her hand, reading it as she answered Xue Lan's questions:
"Naturally, the War Puppet Mansion is the safest place. You are very precious now."
Xue Lan was intrigued by Yan Chengxue's words and revealed an expression of great anticipation:
"Where is the safest place in the War Puppet Mansion?"
Yan Chengxue, intending to whet Xue Lan's appetite, put away the jade slip and walked into the cabin:
You'll know when you get there.
Xue Lan arrived at the War Puppet Mansion amidst this anticipation. As soon as she stepped off the flying boat, she saw Wu Yijun, dressed in a dark green outfit. The woman quickly walked up to Xue Lan:
"I'll take you to the place arranged for you inside the door."
Xue Lan happily followed, passing many buildings in the city, and finally arrived in front of a black tower.
Xue Tong tugged at Xue Lan's sleeve:
"Does this tower look familiar?"
Xue Lan: "Yes, I stole it!"
