Chapter 329: The goal is to steal the time difference.
Xue Lan made a promise to the two little ones that she didn't know when she would fulfill.
This promise is like a thin piece of paper; you never know when it will break.
But Xue Tong hopes it will never break.
Just like what Xue Lan said at the last Ascension Ceremony:
"The contract is made, and it will last forever." (Generally speaking.)
Xue Tong was also reluctant to part with the two little spiders, but she knew that Xue Lan's current decision was the best course of action.
What they were about to do was somewhat dangerous.
The woman in the high position looked at Xue Lan and spoke softly:
"Regarding these two children, consider it a favor that Seven Butterfly Valley owes you."
With a flick of her sleeve, Xue Tong saw a small golden ring fly into Xue Lan's hand.
It was a small ring.
Xue Lan held the gold ring in her hand, a smile appearing on her face.
The woman's voice was calm, but what she said startled everyone present:
"I have a favor to ask of you."
"This junior wishes to leave Seven Butterfly Valley tomorrow with a few companions."
Jun Die's smile froze slightly: "You should know that the exit of Seven Butterfly Valley will not open until midnight two months from now."
Xue Lan smiled gently, a smile that was both tender and bright, yet sent chills down one's spine: "What this junior desires is these two months."
She stole the two months that the elder thought she was still in Seven Butterfly Valley, which was a foolproof plan.
Jun Die smiled knowingly and nodded gently: "You junior, you truly are worthy of being Ling Yuanzi's disciple. But what if I let you out and you lose your life, and your mad master comes knocking on our door?"
Xue Lan slowly presented the ring to Jun Die, her expression somewhat innocent: "Senior is afraid of this?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Die clapped her hands and said, "Tomorrow night at midnight, before the full moon fades, take your friends and leave."
Xue Lan bent down and accepted a small flower that Jun Die offered to her.
Jun Die looked at Xue Lan, her beautiful eyes full of interest: "This is the guiding flower to Yandu."
"Thank you, senior. I will take my leave now."
As Xue Lan finished speaking and prepared to leave with the group behind her, Jun Die's voice came from behind her again.
The woman's voice sounded so distant, as if it came from another dimension:
"Xue Lan, Tu Shan Yan and I have always had high hopes for you."
Xue Lan smiled slightly and turned around. As she lowered her head, the woman's gray eyes were hidden in the shadows, making her look like a monster lurking in the darkness.
Without a word of modesty, Xue Lan's voice was firm, revealing the unbridled arrogance hidden beneath his frail exterior:
"Then please, seniors, wait and see."
Xiao Yu and Xiao Fei watched helplessly as Xue Lan and the others left the main hall. Only then did the two little ones feel a fear even more terrifying than parting.
Jun Die glanced at the two little ones huddled together and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Songyu!"
The woman spoke softly, and a light gray figure slowly rose from the shadow beneath her feet. Before her stood Xie Songyu, dressed in a black dress.
"Take these two little ones down with you."
"Yes." Xie Songyu bowed slightly and led the two little ones, who were crying their eyes out, away.
In the vast palace, Jun Die slowly rose from the throne and walked slowly towards the entrance of the hall.
Her pace was leisurely and her demeanor dignified; she was clearly the high and mighty Lord of Seven Butterfly Valley.
"Red Jade".
There was no one around, but Jun Die gently called out a name, her tone somewhat sorrowful, as if she were reminiscing.
"You have found a good owner for your children."
As she approached the door, the woman's magnificent purple dress began to slowly burst into flames.
A silent, purple fire ignited within the magnificent palace, without alerting anyone or leaving any ashes.
Only when the fire was about to die down did a huge golden butterfly fly out of the gate and drift towards the vast horizon.
After Xue Lan and the others left the palace, they ran into an old acquaintance of Yin Meng not far away.
She was a beautiful woman dressed in white, whose original form was a white silkworm.
"Bai Ying greets fellow Daoists. I am here on the orders of my mistress to take you to your resting place."
Xue Lan thought to herself, "Your mistress is really well-informed. I've only been out for a short time."
He was clearly eavesdropping the whole time, thinking no one else knew.
Although she thought this in her heart, Xue Lan's face broke into a bright smile:
"Thank you, young lady."
Bai Ying led several people to the foot of a large tree, which was as thick as ten people could hug. Holes were carved into the tree, and exquisite carved windows were inlaid in it.
Xue Tong stood below watching and couldn't help but speak:
"I've never lived in a tree hole before."
While the girl was sighing, Xue Lan had already dismissed Bai Ying with a few words.
The woman slowly turned around and spoke in Yin Meng's direction:
"Xiao Meng, what we're about to do is a bit dangerous. You should stay in Seven Butterfly Valley for now."
Yin Meng nodded slowly: "Take care, fellow Daoists."
Xue Lan beckoned to him: "Come here."
The boy stepped forward, bewildered, thinking that Xue Lan had something important to say.
Then she heard Xue Lan's gentle yet eerie voice: "You can take me with you, but are you really not going to do anything for me?"
Yin Meng's expression changed, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, the young man finally spoke slowly: "Miss Xue, you haven't given up yet?"
"Of course I haven't... Junjun, Junjun..." Xue Lan wanted to continue persuading, but was dragged away by Wu Yijun, who couldn't stand it anymore.
Wu Yijun thought to himself, going out with Lin Su and Xue Lan is really tiring.
Watching Xue Lan being dragged into the tree hollow, Xue Tong slowly took out a small purse from her sleeve and placed it in Yin Meng's hand.
"Don't panic, Xue Lan is just like that, a beating will do the trick."
The girl's eyes were gentle and sincere, carrying the pure affection of a young man: "I didn't know what kind of candy you liked, so I packed a little of each for you."
"When I come to Siyaochuan again next time, I'll go to Chonggu Village to visit you!"
Yin Meng nodded, looking at the purse filled with candy in her hand.
"it is good!"
Xue Lan was dragged into the tree hole by Wu Yijun and given a lecture. Afterwards, she took advantage of her bad mood and slept until the afternoon of the next day.
Xue Tong, who had taken a stroll outside and chatted with the pretty Butterfly Sister, saw Xue Lan sitting on the edge of the bed with messy hair, looking like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, as soon as she entered the room.
"Oh my, this is the first time I've known that a Golden Core cultivator can get angry. Come here and let me pet him a couple of times."
Xue Lan had just woken up, her vision still blurry and double-headed, when she was caught off guard to see Xue Tong reaching out to grab her.
It was like seeing a demonic monster with eight arms...
Wu Yijun and Lin Su were having lunch outside, and Wu Yijun had just blown on a spoonful of soup to cool it down when they heard a piercing scream from above:
"what!"
"Are you two trying to tear down the tree?"
When Wu Yijun entered Xue Lan's room, he saw that Xue Tong had already captured him. The girl was pressing Xue Lan's spiky hair down as if she were petting a big dog.
"That's strange, I can't press it down anymore!"
