Ling Mo Xie was unaware of what happened to Mu He after he threw him out and didn't take this small incident to heart, comfortably falling asleep.
It wasn't until the next morning that Shangguan Ying'er eagerly came to find him. Ling Mo Xie could only helplessly bid farewell to King of Chuzhou and the two set off towards Menglan Valley, where the Menglan Conference would be held.
Menglan Valley was located in the central part of Chuzhou, precisely at the intersection of several major sects' territories. Every Menglan Conference was jointly organized by the three major sects of Chuzhou, and this time was no exception.
With only five days left until the blooming of the Menglan flowers, the sects should have already prepared everything and were just waiting for the flowers to bloom.
Both Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er were cultivators, so their traveling speed was naturally fast. However, along the way, Xiao Chi, who was a bit of a burden, was too lively and delayed them a bit. In contrast, Chen Yan remained calm and composed, showing little interest in the Menglan Conference.
This was understandable; after all, it was an ancient beast that had existed since ancient times. To it, the Menglan Conference was naturally insignificant.
"Just ahead!" Shangguan Ying'er said with joy, pointing at the valley in front of them.
Ling Mo Xie followed her direction and looked ahead. The valley was still a lush green color, filled with plants sprouting long green leaves, with a stalk in the middle staring at the green flower buds.
The plants were densely packed, leaving little room to step. Fortunately, cultivators could fly; even those at lower realms who couldn't fly could use their spiritual energy to move as if they were martial arts experts gliding over grass.
At this moment in the valley, one could clearly feel that the spiritual energy was much higher than outside. There were quite a few people bustling about.
"Let's go to the Azure Emperor Sect's courtyard!" Shangguan Ying'er said as she pulled Ling Mo Xie's arm.
As the organizers of past conferences, the three major sects in Chuzhou naturally had their own places to stay in this valley.
Hearing Shangguan Ying'er's words, Ling Mo Xie frowned and did not immediately agree. He still had a formidable enemy at Azure Emperor Sect! Moreover, his conflict with Liu Wanshan had also made him enemies with Shenwu Sect. He suddenly regretted coming to the Menglan Conference; wasn't this like walking into a tiger's den?
Ling Mo Xie wore a bitter expression; it was all his fault for speaking carelessly back then. Now it was too late for regrets.
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie did not respond, Shangguan Ying'er turned her head and noticed his expression. She pouted and said, "Alright, just follow me without worry. The Sect Master is here; even Cang Qin wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"
"That's right, that's right! Boss, when did you become a coward? The boat will naturally reach the bridge when it gets there. Besides, we haven't even seen a shadow of Cangqin yet!" Xiao Chi looked at the bustling scene around him, unable to contain his excitement, and urged Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie sighed and said, "Let's go in!" However, he thought to himself that it wasn't just Cangqin they had offended; they had also angered the Divine Martial Sect. I can't afford to be careless, especially since this is a matter of life and death!
"Great! You go ahead with Sister Ying to the Azure Emperor Sect's base. I'll take a stroll first!" Xiao Chi cheered and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ling Mo Xie intended to remind him to be careful but didn't have the chance.
"Don't worry about him; it's very safe here. The three major sects won't allow anything to happen during the Menglan Conference. Let's go!" Shangguan Ying'er shook her head as she watched Xiao Chi vanish and turned to comfort Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie wasn't overly concerned about Xiao Chi's safety; he just hoped he wouldn't cause any trouble. After all, Xiao Chi had abilities that ordinary children didn't possess, but his temperament was still that of a child.
Hearing Shangguan Ying'er's reassurance, Ling Mo Xie said nothing and followed her as they flew toward the Azure Emperor Sect's base.
Soon, the Azure Emperor Sect's base came into view. It was a large courtyard that resembled a mansion, filled with pavilions and towers, numerous rockeries and flowing water, and many exotic flowers and plants. Of course, the most notable feature was the Menglan flower unique to this place.
In the courtyard, many people dressed in Azure Emperor Sect attire were moving about—some hurriedly while others strolled leisurely, engaging in lively discussions with their companions.
"Junior Sister, you're back!" At that moment, a cheerful voice called out. Shangguan Ying'er turned around, but her expression was not particularly pleasant.
"Yes, Senior Brother, what is it?" Shangguan Ying'er nodded lightly and spoke in a detached tone, instantly transforming into an aloof goddess. Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but be taken aback; women truly are the best at changing their expressions—she had just been so cheerful with him moments ago.
The young man was quite handsome and wore the attire of a direct disciple of the Azure Emperor Sect, which made him appear quite dashing. He showed no surprise or displeasure at Shangguan Ying'er's coldness, indicating that she likely treated him this way regularly.
"Junior Sister, do you have time? I..." The young man appeared excited and showed no signs of being deterred by Shangguan Ying'er's indifference; he spoke enthusiastically while completely ignoring Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie listened as he rambled on and gathered that he had encountered a powerful spirit beast outside Menglan Valley and wanted to recruit it as a pet. He hoped to persuade Shangguan Ying'er to join him.
After he finished speaking, Shangguan Ying'er yawned disinterestedly and said, "I don't have time; you can go by yourself! Goodbye, Senior Brother!" With that, she took Ling Mo Xie's hand and flew into the Azure Emperor Sect's courtyard without looking back.
The man was taken aback, shaking his head as if he had just noticed Ling Mo Xie. He quickly flew up to block the way of Shangguan Ying'er and Ling Mo Xie, pointing at Ling Mo Xie with a dissatisfied tone, "Junior Sister, who is he? How can you casually bring someone of unknown identity to our Azure Emperor Sect's stronghold?"
He then shot a disdainful glare at Ling Mo Xie, wearing an air of superiority as he said, "Kid, this is not a place for you. Junior Sister's status is not something you can aspire to. Leave now! Otherwise, I'll have someone throw you out!"
As he spoke, he brushed off his robe as if Ling Mo Xie were just dust on it, showing utter contempt.
Ling Mo Xie felt speechless; was this guy out of his mind?
Shangguan Ying'er clearly found her senior brother's behavior equally baffling. She rolled her eyes at the man and said, "Senior Brother, whether he is qualified to be here is not for you to decide. There’s no such thing as aspiring to someone’s status. Step aside!"
Shangguan Ying'er's expression turned cold, and her tone began to show signs of displeasure.
Upon hearing Shangguan Ying'er's words, the man quickly softened his tone and said to her, "Junior Sister, I'm only looking out for you! You have no idea how deceitful these people outside are; they are the best at tricking others. I just don't want you to fall for his tricks..."
The man seemed like a gossiping old woman in his previous life; once he started talking, he wouldn't stop, causing the veins on Ling Mo Xie's forehead to throb.
"Ying'er, do you mind if I teach this clueless guy a lesson?" Ling Mo Xie suddenly asked Shangguan Ying'er.
Before she could respond, Ling Mo Xie's words drew the ire of the "gossiping old woman," who sneered at him and said, "In life, it's most important to have self-awareness. Many grand claims shouldn't be made lightly. We disciples of the sect are not like you..."
Seeing that the "gossiping old woman" had started rambling again, Ling Mo Xie glanced at Shangguan Ying'er and saw her smiling at him with a look of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Ling Mo Xie's lips curled into a smirk as a flash of white light appeared instantly and enveloped the man in shock.
He never expected that Ling Mo Xie would take action against him; after all, he was a disciple of an elder from the Azure Emperor Sect, and this was their territory. Even if this kid was arrogant, he wouldn't dare act against him here, right?
However, what he didn't realize was that Ling Mo Xie didn't care about any of that. If you made me unhappy, I would make you even more miserable!
The man who was pinned down was momentarily stunned, then disregarding his image, began to curse at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie remained calm and said, "Let me teach you something. The most important thing in life is to have self-awareness, unlike you, who acts like a clown and jumps around aimlessly."
After saying that, Ling Mo Xie channeled the spiritual energy gained from his upgrade and kicked the man in the rear. The man shot off like a "shooting star" at an incredible speed, quickly disappearing from the sight of Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er.
Ling Mo Xie rested his hand on the awning and exaggeratedly watched the direction in which the man had vanished. He turned to Shangguan Ying'er and said, "Oh dear, did I go too far? I hope he can find his way out of the Azure Emperor's base; he seemed quite formidable!"
"Giggle, giggle!" Shangguan Ying'er laughed uncontrollably while holding her stomach. She said, "Who told him to be so self-righteous? Who does he think he is? Do you think he can find his way back before dinner?"
"Who knows? He might have flown straight to the Immortal Realm," Ling Mo Xie shrugged his shoulders innocently.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Shangguan Ying'er shot him a glare. "So he should thank you now?"
Ling Mo Xie looked down at Shangguan Ying'er and replied innocently, "Why are you glaring at me? Sending him to become an immortal—shouldn't he be grateful? After all, that's a dream for many cultivators!"
"Alright, stop joking around. Let's go inside; the Sect Master will be very pleased that you're attending the Menglan Conference!" Shangguan Ying'er rolled her eyes at Ling Mo Xie and pulled him into the courtyard of the Azure Emperor Sect.
Before Shangguan Ying'er could introduce anything to Ling Mo Xie, over a thousand disciples from the Azure Emperor Sect approached respectfully and said to Shangguan Ying'er and Ling Mo Xie, "The Sect Master requests your presence!"
Shangguan Ying'er was taken aback for a moment, then looked up and smiled at Ling Mo Xie. "See? I told you I wasn't wrong!"
