Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: The Peach Blossom Peak

"I have to go. Take good care of yourself." Huang Ying Yue turned to gently touch Huang Wan Yan’s hair.

"Same to you, Sister." Huang Wan Yan nodded. A sort of period of separation and a long day of reunion. He has to bear all his reluctance and pain to let her go.

He really wanted to embrace her tightly and snuggle into her warm arms, but unfortunately, the occasion didn’t allow him to do so.

When the three figures were about to leave the hall, the first Great Elder Lun suddenly uttered:.

"Please wait a moment, Great Ancestor!"

"Huh??" Xiong Zi Ying paused his steps in doubt.

"As per every year’s rule, after we receive the new disciples, the other elders will have to offer their present to congratulate the newly accepted disciples." He paused a little bit as he looked at the rookies’ curious faces.

"Just now, though they kowtowed to pay their respect to their master, yet the master-disciple worship ritual hasn’t been completely arranged properly according to the rule."

All the other elders nodded in agreement. It was true, as the Great Elder Lun said. To kowtow three times wasn’t enough.

There are much more complicated rituals than this that have been passed down by the oldest ancestors since the first establishment of the sect.

A master one day is like a father for a lifetime. This kind of occasion must be taken seriously, with deep dedication and arrangements. There must be absolutely no mistakes or loopholes; inaccuracy allows this to happen.

"For the gifts to my new disciples, send those things to my Peach Blossom Peak. As for the officially master-disciple worship ritual, I’ll let you know when the time comes." After a long silence, just when everyone thought that Xiong Zi Ying didn’t reply, his seductive voice resounded plainly.

No one could see his expression because he turned his back to everyone.

"But..." The First Great Elder Lun was about to remind him about the time when Xiong Zi Ying stopped him.

"The rules didn’t mention the specific date." After saying this, he left the hall.

The peach blossom fragrance lingers in the air faintly.

Huang Ying Yue seemed to feel the lonely and alienated breath somewhere. She looked up and saw her master’s lonely figure, Xiong Zi Ying.

It just happened so fast that she couldn’t observe clearly. Huang Ying Yue tilted her head in confusion. What was that?

The elders looked at their sect leader, Shi Tian Xan, hoping that he would say something. Unfortunately, they were doomed to be disappointed.

"Let him be. The rule really didn’t mention the specific and exact date when to hold the ritual. As long as you have enough preparation and decision, you can hold the ritual anytime." Shi Tian Xan’s beautiful voice sounded like ethereal music.

This was the first time that the rookies had heard him speak such a long sentence. His expression was faint, and his beautiful eyes looked far ahead somewhere with unknown emotion.

The elders helplessly look at each other. They thought that only their sect leader was strange. What was wrong with the Great Ancestor?

"So, when will the sect leader hold the master-disciple ritual with your disciple?" The second elder, Hao, asked respectfully.

"Do it in another three days." Shi Tian Xan replied shortly as he stood up and walked outside the hall.

Yuelan Rou Xuan walked behind him. Two beautiful figures disappeared from everyone’s sight.

"Go back; three days later, we are all going to arrange our master-disciple ritual together with the sect leader. You all have to go to the Greatest Divine Peak to hold the ceremony." The third Great Elder Gong waved his hand to the rookies.

.......

After leaving everyone speechless in the hall, Xiong Zi Ying floated leisurely in the air. Under his legs, there were the small petals of the peach blossom appearing.

She only saw the light pink to carmine peach blossom trees on earth, but never once in her life did she see the scarlet and dark-purple peach blossom trees. Even Huang Bai Xing looked around curiously.

Huang Ying Yue looked surprised. She has read in the book of the plants on this spiritual continent. The scarlet and dark-purple peach blossom trees were the rarest trees in this world. Apart from emitting a faint fragrance, its fragrance has the effect of calming down the mood and reducing stress.

Its petals could be made into wine and tea, which were extremely expensive and helpful to health. It could even make the skin whiter and smoother.

Here, there were more than twenty scarlet and dark purple peach blossom trees. Is this originally because of the ancient Divine Kunlun sect’s geographical location or because of Xiong Zi Ying’s power?

By passing the peach blossom forest, there was a massive, clear lake surrounded by the peach blossom petals. The fish were swimming in the lake cheerfully.

Across the lake, three bamboo houses could be seen. Behind the houses, a small pink mountain stood there. In an open space, a huge field of magical plants could be seen.

The birds were flying; some stood on the tree branches as they seemed to have consciousness. The birds looked at the three figures curiously.

"Stay here; I’ll introduce you to your senior brothers." Xiong Zi Ying stood on the land as he lifted the corners of his lips.

"Xiao YueYue, your senior brothers aren’t bad guys if you ignore their cold faces." Xiong Zi Ying teased Huang Ying Yue.

He didn’t even look at Huang Bai Xing’s beautiful face. Huang Bai Xing frowned. She didn’t like the feeling of being ignored.

Huang Yine Yue twitched her lips. Why does his tone sound like he is coaxing a child?

A second later, two tall figures in white came from the back of the mountain. Seeing the two figures, Huang Ying Yue and Huang Bai Xing were stunned.

Their moods were extremely different. Huang Ying Yue couldn’t wait to look at the sky speechlessly.
