Jiang Lan sat down at the table.
Xiao Yu stood in front of him. He sat down and Xiao Yu followed suit.
Xiao Yu still sat at a position higher than his so that she could look down on him.
Perhaps it was her last bit of pride as a Senior Sister.
He had to look up to see her face.
“Senior Sister, please speak.”
Jiang Lan spoke.
He did not have any intention of competing with Xiao Yu. It was fine like that.
Although the Jade Pool’s dragon had matured, she still retained her youthful temperament.
He had no intention of destroying it.
“The Senior Sister of the three, Mei Li has a very ordinary background.” Xiao Yu took out her wooden sword and drew a circle on the table.
“She was selected by Kunlun from the mortal world and has been in the sect for more than six hundred years.
Initially, she was just an ordinary disciple of the Fifth Summit. Later on, she made a name for herself at the array formation mountain and was taken in as a disciple by Martial Aunt Miao Yue.
Following that, she displayed an astonishing talent in both her cultivation, and array formation skills.
In the end, she became a personal disciple of Martial Aunt Miao Yue.
What surprised me the most was that she already has a Dao companion since three hundred years ago.
She came from the same hometown as her. He seems to be an extremely talented disciple as well and should have just become a Human Immortal. ”
“Who recruited her?” Jiang Lan asked.
“It seems to be a senior from the First Summit.” Xiao Yu shook her head, indicating that she did not know him.
Jiang Lan didn’t ask any more questions, instead coming to a conclusion.
“Looks like it’s not her. What about the other two?”
“Yan Ling is the youngest among the three of them. I don’t think she is either.” Xiao Yu leaped up and landed behind Jiang Lan. She leaned on Jiang Lan’s head and said.
“She’s the daughter of an elder of the Fourth Summit and grew up loving array formations. Hence, she was sent to the Fifth Summit.
In the end, she was accepted as a personal disciple by Martial Aunt Miao Yue.
Her parents are still alive, so it can’t be her.”
Xiao Yu laid on his head. Jiang Lan did not feel much weight. He was only curious about the second eldest among the three.
“Is there a problem with the second one?”
His Senior Sister had jumped from the eldest to the youngest, and had placed the explaination of the second eldest as the last. This meant that she had found some problems.
“There are indeed some problems with her.” Xiao Yu sat beside Jiang Lan and nodded.
“According to my understanding, Han Qi has a huge problem.
She said that she was picked up by a Fifth Summit’s elder in a deserted wilderness.
She had been there before, but there were no signs of human habitation. Mountain rocks were everywhere, and there were withered trees and weeds.
Her adoptive father said that it was impossible for anyone to appear there, but she just appeared out of nowhere.
If not for the fact that she met with someone, she might not have lived past three days.”
“It is indeed a bit bizarre.” Jiang Lan frowned.
He did not believe that his master’s illegitimate daughter was among the three of them, but this Junior Sister’s background was indeed somewhat different.
“Any other discoveries?” Jiang Lan asked.
“Yes.” Xiao Yu was waiting for Jiang Lan to ask her this question.
“There’s a symbol on her arm that she was born with.
I’ve seen the symbol. It’s very complicated. It might be a clue.”
“Senior Sister, do you remember that symbol?” Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu and asked.
Xiao Yu smiled when she heard this.
“I was waiting for you to ask. I recorded it down and knew you would ask.”
As she spoke, she pressed her hand on the table, and a complicated symbol began to appear.
The symbol seemed to be slightly distorted, but there was a distinct line in the distortion.
Jiang Lan frowned when he saw the symbol.
He remembered the symbol.
He had seen this symbol when he was reading the book that explained about the Ancient Imperial Palace.
The symbol represented the Ancient Imperial Court.
But it was different. There seemed to be something different inside.
Array formation?
Jiang Lan reached out subconsciously, wanting to check.
It was just that very quickly, his Deity Position was triggered, as if it was undoing the array formation on it.
In that instant, Jiang Lan withdrew his hand, preventing himself from undoing the array formation within the symbols.
“Looks like Martial Aunt is joking with us. This Junior Sister’s background isn’t normal. She can’t possibly be Master and Martial Aunt’s daughter.” Jiang Lan looked at the array formation with some shock.
This was his first time coming into contact with symbols related to the Ancient Imperial Court.
However, his Martial Aunt Miao Yue definitely knew about this symbol. It was unknown if she had tampered with it.
He needed to be more vigilant.
“Extraordinary?” Xiao Yu propped her chin on her hand and looked at Jiang Lan.
“En.” Jiang Lan pointed at the sky.
“Something to do with a place up there.”
“Above?” Xiao Yu raised her head and saw the sky.
“It’s the Heaven Realm,” Jiang Lan said softly.
Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan in astonishment.
Then she stopped asking. It was still too far away for her.
…
Half a month later.
Jiang Lan walked towards the Netherworld Cave.
He wanted to start cultivating and take a look at the array formation in the symbol.
Xiao Yu had gone to the Third Summit. She had not seen her master for a long time and needed to go there.
As for Mei Li and the other two, they were still studying the array formations on the Ninth Summit.
Back then, they had made some progress in challenging the maze array formation, but in the end, they were still unable to leave.
The array formation that was ranked second was indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Yu would occasionally check on their progress, but Jiang Lan had never done so before.
They did not ask either.
Hence, he was pretty relaxed.
Sitting cross-legged in the straw hut in the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan took out the symbol that Xiao Yu had left behind.
“Martial Aunt Miao Yue must know this symbol. It can’t be activated directly.
It must be a trap set by her.”
She had sent the three of them here to learn array formations and even deliberately said that one of them was her and her master’s illegitimate daughter so that he could find out about this symbol.
And any Deity Position would react to this symbol.
Once he activated it, he might be discovered.
Therefore, it was possible that he was already suspected.
Maybe it had something to do with Master.
He wasn’t sure exactly, but he couldn’t risk it.
However, he still had a way to find what was it all about.
He took out the Mountain Sea Mirror.
“Using this symbol as a medium, I wonder what I can find.”
With this thought in mind, he decided to give it a try.
However, before he activated the Mountain Sea Mirror, he suddenly realized that someone was chanting his name.
It was the Eighth Prince and the youth.
Only now did he remember that a month had passed.
He needed to teach them saber techniques again.
He wondered if there would be any progress this time.
…
…
Sixth Summit.
In front of the bamboo house, Miao Yue sat opposite Chen Xi, she looked in the direction of the Ninth Summit and frowned slightly.
“What happened?” Chen Xi asked curiously as she poured tea.
“I feel that the master and disciple of the Ninth Summit are guarding against me.” Miao Yue said with a smile.
“It’s just that you are too dangerous, Junior Sister. Many things have a certain purpose, and it’s impossible to guard against them.” Chen Xi didn’t pay too much attention.
“Senior Sister is exaggerating.” Miao Yue turned around and poured tea for herself.
“I only know how to play tricks with Senior Brother. I don’t have any bad intentions towards children.
However, it’s quite interesting to let some kids guess that I have some bad intentions.”
“Junior Sister seems to have a good impression of Jiang Lan,” Chen Xi said.
“He’s a very cautious but courageous person.
Senior Brother had always trusted him for a reason.
Having interacted with him a few times, I have found that his state of mind is extremely stable, and he is unperturbed by many things.
But as long as I say something related to Senior Brother, it will easily make him turn pale with fright.” Miao Yue continued pouring tea, her tone carrying a clear smile.
“Don’t pour it. You’re not drinking it.” Chen Xi snatched the teapot.
“Something might happen to the Ninth Summit. I’ll be heading to the Ninth Summit in a few years.
Don’t ask me for details. I don’t know about it either.. Just wait.”
