97: Invite people back

The few people from Canghai Pavilion stammered, unable to give a clear explanation.

The Sect Master asked Zhang Xiaoyi again, "Where did you get this Magic Treasure from?"

Zhang Xiaoyi did not dare to hide anything and told the Sect Master about how Yang Yi had gifted him the Magic Treasure.

After hearing the origin of the Magic Treasure, everyone was shocked.

The Sect Master furrowed his brows, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

"The Yang Family Head has arrived; why was there no one to welcome him?"

Zhang Xiaoyi glanced at the Elders present and lowered his head, remaining silent.

The Sect Master's gaze rested on that Elder for a moment. "Speak," the Sect Master demanded angrily.

Zhang Xiaoyi had no choice but to explain that the Elder had refused to meet with Yang Yi.

The Sect Master was furious and glared fiercely at that Elder, then asked Zhang Xiaoyi to let him examine the Magic Treasure.

Zhang Xiaoyi handed the Magic Treasure to the Sect Master. The Sect Master examined it for a moment, nodded slightly, and returned the Magic Treasure to Zhang Xiaoyi.

After scolding the people from Canghai Pavilion, he dismissed them.

He then ordered the Elder who had rejected Yang Yi, "Go and bring Yang Yi back right now."

The Elder looked troubled and reluctant. He coughed and said with a smile, "Sect Master, he is just a minor Yang Family Head, why go and invite him? If he comes again in the future, we can treat him well then; there is no need to chase after him now."

"Nonsense!" the Sect Master scolded angrily. "Regardless of whether the Yang family is strong or weak, our Diancang Sect is one of the dignified Twelve Sects of Yun Province; how can we not understand the way of hospitality? It was bad enough that no one welcomed him, but to let him leave like this—wouldn't that make us a laughingstock? If word spreads, what will others think of us? Go and bring him back right now. If he doesn't return, you don't need to return either."

The Sect Master waved his hand and said no more. Helpless, the Elder had to descend the mountain to search for Yang Yi.

By this time, Yang Yi had already crossed mountains and ridges, arriving in another area.

Thousands of miles away from the Diancang Sect, there was another Sect called the Luoyue Sect. The Sect was composed mostly of women and was also one of the Twelve Sects of Yun Province.

When Yang Yi arrived here, he felt as if it were a fairyland. In particular, the sounds of young girls coming from the mountain made Yang Yi feel drawn to it, and he couldn't help but stop and watch.

Just then, two figures floated down from the sky. In a moment, they arrived in front of Yang Yi.

One of the women was like an iceberg—indifferent and unfeeling. She carried a precious sword on her back and had an extremely cold expression. Just standing there, she made the surrounding air freezing cold.

The other beautiful woman was extremely lively and wore a fire-red robe. The robe was a bit big, wrapping her small frame inside, making her look exceptionally cute. She held a soft whip that was red, resembling a small red Dragon.

"Who are you? What are you looking at here?"

Yang Yi cupped his hands and said, "I am Yang Yi, the Yang Family Head. I arrived here by chance and heard the sounds of young women playing on the mountain; it was very pleasant to the ear, so I stopped. I hope the two Fairies will forgive me."

The word "Fairy" caused the Red-Robed Woman to cover her mouth and giggle, while the Ice-cold woman was as cold as frost, stern and unsmiling, looking at Yang Yi with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"So you are the Yang Family Head. You destroyed the Zhang family not long ago; that was quite a feat. I am truly impressed by you." The Red-Robed Woman hopped forward, blinking her lively eyes as she looked Yang Yi up and down.

"May I ask the honorable names of the two Fairies? And where is this place? Could you take me up to have a look around?"

The Red-Robed Woman was about to agree, but the Ice-cold woman said coldly, "This is the Luoyue Sect. We do not welcome outsiders. You had better leave."

Yang Yi was slightly disappointed, but he did not pester them. Just as he turned to leave, a hurried shout came from behind him.

"Are you Yang Yi of the Yang family?" Yang Yi looked at the person in the sky and said, "It is me."

As he spoke, a man floated down in front of Yang Yi and nodded slightly at him. "I am Cang Yuexue, an Elder of the Diancang Sect. I heard earlier that you had gone to the Sect, but because I had urgent matters to attend to, I was unable to welcome you in time. I hope you will forgive me. The Sect Master has ordered me to invite you to be a guest at the Diancang Sect. I wonder if you have time."

After speaking, he looked at the two women not far away and nodded slightly at them.

Yang Yi was about to refuse because he had just been to the Diancang Sect, but no one had welcomed him. Since no one welcomed him, there was no need to go again. Just as he was thinking of an excuse, the Red-Robed Woman spoke up.

"I am so sorry, but Yang Yi has already agreed to come to our Sect with us. You go back and tell your Sect Master that Yang Yi will go to your Diancang Sect naturally when he has had enough of staying at our Luoyue Sect."

Afterwards, she blinked at Yang Yi and made a gesture of invitation, "Yang Yi, please."

Yang Yi smiled slightly, cupped his hands at Cang Yuexue, said he was sorry, and immediately followed the two into the Luoyue Sect.

Cang Yuexue stamped his foot in anger, shattering several pieces of the ground, cursed, and turned to leave.

"Junior Sister, how could you make such a decision without permission and invite him to our Luoyue Sect? Inviting him is one thing, but why offend the Diancang Sect? We are already at odds with them; it is not worth letting the two sides come to blows over this."

"Senior Sister, you said yourself that we and the Diancang Sect are at odds; we will come to blows sooner or later, so why fear them? The Diancang Sect invited Yang Yi, so how can we let them succeed? They must want to win Yang Yi over, so why don't we let Yang Yi be used by us?"

The Red-Robed Woman did not avoid Yang Yi at all while speaking, allowing Yang Yi to hear everything clearly. Yang Yi felt like a weapon being snatched back and forth between them, and they were not even trying to hide it, showing no regard for his feelings. Did they take him for a piece of wood?

The Ice-cold woman snorted coldly and shook her head helplessly, "Watch what you say."

The Red-Robed Woman giggled and stuck her tongue out at Yang Yi, so cute that one could not bear to blame her. "Yang Yi will definitely help us, don't you think?"

Yang Yi nodded, "That is true, that is true. Just because you were able to invite me into the Luoyue Sect, I naturally lean more towards you."

While talking, the three of them arrived inside a palace. After sitting down, the Red-Robed Woman rested her chin in her hands, blinked her cute eyes, and asked Yang Yi, "How did you come to be here?"

Yang Yi said that he was wandering the world and arrived here by chance.

"Wandering the world? Your Yang family just destroyed the Zhang family and is in a period of development; how can you, as the Family Head, just walk away?"
