These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"You're not stupid, you're the smartest woman."

"Really? I think so too~"

"You..."

"Hey you two, are you coming or not? Or do you want to go back and talk?"

Yuan Wei said irritably.

Su Mi then stuck out her tongue and followed the others from the mountain gate onto the teleportation array.

We've traveled a lot over time.

Finally… “Those outside the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, come out!”

This time, Wei Tu took a step without hesitation, and following closely behind was Gong Ziqi, as Wei Tu had expected... Wei Tu turned his head.

"What a coincidence, Senior Sister Bai."

A woman in white, with a cold and aloof expression and carrying a sheathed longsword, appeared beside him.

Although the person he would be with was a beautiful young woman, Wei Tu's mood was not so light.

Good heavens... Su Mi just said he wouldn't get involved with flowers and plants... how come he's walked into the garden again?

No, this time it's the garden that's moved here.

Bai Youwei glanced coldly at Wei Tu, then gave a sneer.

"Your junior sister just told you not to get involved with other women, and you couldn't resist even before leaving the sect?"

Wei Tu waved his hand, looking surprised.

"Although 'flirting' is a slang term, anyone with eyes can see that there is a difference between flowers and grass."

Does he mean Su Mi is a flower, and I'm a weed?! PS: Are there really people waiting for updates at this time? I was even planning to give up and not update tonight, since this chapter, along with the last one, is kind of transitional. But it's almost 6,000 words, so putting it all together tomorrow would be best. I actually really wanted to release it around 200,000 words without affecting my stockpile for the book's release. That point would perfectly echo the beginning; that big drama has been brewing for a long time. But thankfully, this plot also has a big drama, so it shouldn't be boring. Hmm…

58 The Fisherman and the Fish

"Why is Senior Brother Gong also thinking of going to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?"

Standing inside the teleportation array, I was surrounded by a screen of light.

It felt like a scene from a dream, but it was indeed a symbol of the teleportation array in operation.

The teleportation is not instantaneous, but takes time, although the time required will be significantly reduced.

Although sword immortals who can fly on swords can also achieve the effect of traveling a thousand miles a day, the better effect of teleportation arrays is that they can teleport multiple people to move... no, to move around, based on the scale of the teleportation coordinates and the level of the teleportation array.

Moreover, the realm is basically only possessed by the person controlling the teleportation array.

Before entering the teleportation array, Wei Tu took a look and, wow, there were more than a dozen people going to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

It's the location with the most locations, but there's no way around it; the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is the easiest of all these trial missions.

The surrounding area wasn't very dangerous, and it was a gathering task, simple and easy. Although the rewards weren't very high, it was still a good opportunity to broaden one's horizons.

Upon hearing Wei Tu's words, the honest and simple-minded Gong Ziqi scratched his head and smiled.

"I'm too stupid and don't understand social etiquette... Going elsewhere would only cause trouble, so my master told me that it's better to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. After all, I have some strength, so it's more reliable."

Wei Tu smiled, "Senior Brother Gong, you really are unpretentious..."

"By the way, Junior Brother Wei, why did you also go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain? In my opinion... Junior Brother Wei, you are handsome, good at charming girls, and strong. You shouldn't have come to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain... It's a waste."

Gong Ziqi spoke very directly, and this flattery made Wei Tu feel very comfortable.

Compared to the boasting of those shrewd and worldly people, the praise from an honest man like Gong Ziqi was more comforting than a massage.

"Senior Brother Gong, please don't say that. I just feel that I can't get involved in worldly affairs, so I'd rather deal with these mountains and rivers. What do you think?"

Gong Ziqi laughed heartily, “Hahaha…Great minds think alike. Hey…I just remembered something. There were more than a dozen disciples who said they were going to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, so why are there only six of us here?”

Wei Tu explained, "The teleportation array can't handle so many people. There are several teleportation arrays around the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, so it was naturally divided into three to make it more efficient."

"Junior Brother Wei, you know this too? You're really knowledgeable."

"I learned it all from books..."

"Oh, I remember now, you're Wei Tu, the one who frequents the Sutra Repository?"

The one who took the initiative to speak was Liang Xingxiu, who was in charge of the teleportation array for these people.

Liang Xingxiu is a relatively young disciple and a reserve talent for the next generation of elders of the Yuanjian Sect. At only thirty-two years old, he has the strength of the Dragon Slayer Realm. He is not a top-level genius, but he is definitely above average. Moreover, he is solid, humble, low-key, and down-to-earth.

"Uncle Liang..."

Liang Xingxiu waved his hand.

"No need to be polite. We're all in the same boat now. I didn't expect the three of you to come this time."

Wei Tu knew which three Liang Xingxiu was referring to, but Gong Ziqi asked stupidly.

"Which three did Uncle Liang mention?"

"Of course it's you, Wei Tu, and Bai Youwei. The three of you have become quite famous lately, especially Wei Tu. I've heard so much about your battle with Yuan Jiacao of Lu Chenzong. Countless young disciples idolize you. You must have received quite a few tokens of love, right?"

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head, "That's not true..."

Actually, there are quite a few.

Those who are timid can offer him a sachet and send him a letter to express their feelings.

Those with some nerve... wearing dresses and bellybands... it's simply appalling.

Liang Xingxiu laughed heartily, "I think Wei Tu, you should really go to the human world, like the Shang Kingdom or something. By the way, I heard that the most beautiful woman in the Shang Kingdom right now is their princess, and she's still quite young. Maybe the king will see that you're so handsome and give the princess to you in marriage?"

"Uh... by the way, Senior Sister Bai, why did you go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?"

Wei Tu wasn't really a gossipy person, but at this point, he had no other choice.

The beautiful woman, who was standing in the teleportation array with a calm expression and seemingly resting with her eyes slightly closed, glanced at Wei Tu.

"So you've shifted the topic to me?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Gong Ziqi and Liang Xingsu couldn't stop laughing.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, the handsome young man, who had been tricked, could only smile helplessly.

What else can we do? Hang this cold and mean girl up and beat her up?

The chat continued intermittently, and soon they fell into quiet silence.

With about half a day left before the teleportation, many people had already settled down to rest and recuperate.

Wei Tu was also sitting in a corner, and at that moment, a hidden voice reached his ears.

“I know you went to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and it wasn’t just the outer area.”

Wei Tu opened his eyes and turned his head, only to find that it was Bai Youwei, who had previously retorted to him.

The boy smiled as he looked at the other person.

"Senior Sister Bai, what are you saying... Where else can we go if we don't go to the outer perimeter?"

Bai Youwei sneered.

"Do I need to make myself clearer?"

"I don't quite understand..."

"Then keep playing dumb. You people are all so cunning, which is why the world seems so treacherous and filthy."

Wei Tu looked at the girl, who seemed to have a serious pessimistic view of life, with amusement.

"Does Senior Sister Bai want to be like a lotus flower that rises from the mud unsullied?"

Bai Youwei looked over and said, "Why do I feel like 'lotus' has become a derogatory term in your mouth?"

"That's just Senior Sister Bai's prejudice against me."

"Is that so? Hehe."

Bai Youwei chuckled dismissively, then raised her head to look at the ever-changing light in the sky.

"The lotus is merely a lotus that emerges from the mud unsullied; it cannot change the mud itself."

"Senior Sister Bai wants to change the silt?"

"What about you?"

Bai Youwei did not answer, but instead asked a question.

Wei Tu stopped smiling and answered calmly.

"A spark."

Bai Youwei shook her head. "No, you want to be a wildfire that starts a prairie fire."

"Senior Sister Bai thinks too highly of me."

"Is that so? I hope we don't run into each other in places we shouldn't be, Wei Tu."

This statement made Wei Tu wary.

Does this mean... her goal wasn't on the periphery either?

This reminded Wei Tu of what happened yesterday.

That woman, that dramatic woman with terrible acting skills, summoned me alone to the Baoguang Hall.

Where are you planning to go for the sect trials?

Ran Xinxue stood before her, by the dim candlelight, like a luminous sprite, but her alluring yet feignedly cold face made her look more like a demoness.

Wei Tu looked at Ran Xinxue, but instead of answering honestly, he said softly.

"Where does the sect leader want his disciple to go?"

"How did you know I had a place I wanted you to go? Heh, now that your strength is exposed, you're not pretending anymore?"

Ran Xinxue said with a cold laugh.
