Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 384: Heavenly Sword Sect
Chapter 384: 384: Heavenly Sword Sect
Yue Xuexia’s sudden confession about her relationship with Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder left almost everyone shocked speechless. Hong Lian, who had dared to stop them, heard about this and fainted on the spot. He couldn’t believe that he had offended someone from the strongest sect of this world.
Thud!
The other disciples of the Crimson Fire sect called in shock, "Senior Brother Hong!"
"Hm? What happened to him?" asked Yue Xuexia.
Qi Shiru said, "Nothing. He just has low blood pressure. Let him be his junior brother and junior sister. Is there a place you wanted to go to, Miss Yue?"
"A place to rest. Then I will think of what I want to do after that. Is there a house here that can be rented?" Yue Xuexia asked.
Qi Shiru said, "Miss Yue, there is no need for you to rent a house. You can stay at the Heavenly Sword Sect to rest. We can provide you with a place to stay while you are here. I’m sure that Shizun (Master) will love to meet you. She had been wanting to meet you after she heard that you saved Senior Sister Fu’s life."
"I don’t like crowds," said Yue Xuexia.
Qi Shiru said, "I can arrange a quiet place for you if you wish to!"
"Alright! I can stay in your place until Sister Bingyu comes over," said Yue Xuexia.
Qi Shiru and the other disciples with him were delighted that Yue Xuexia had agreed to stay over at their sect. During the short hours they were together, they knew that she was not only strong but also knowledgeable. There is that cosmetic she made true, Pill Refinement, and also her identity as the divine doctor. Adding the fact that she is the granddaughter of the Starfield Sect, she is more than welcome to become an important guest.
The group finally entered the city, and almost everyone was watching them. They felt envious of how lucky the Heavenly Sword Sect is for being able to invite the granddaughter of the Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder, who is said to be one of the Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Cultivation realm. On their way, Yue Xuexia and their group weren’t in a hurry to go to the sect and wandered around the city market.
Yue Xuexia had become the center of attention. Not only because of her identity but also because, despite her appearance being covered with a veil, almost everyone couldn’t move their eyes off her. Every single thing about her speaks elegance. From the way she walks, her demeanor, as well as her indifference. It will be hard to ignore her among the crowd, and that’s how powerful her presence is.
In just a day, most of the sects and clans in this area knew that the granddaughter of the Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder had become a guest of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Yue Xuexia learns about the few facilities that interest her. The Pill Hall is connected to the Medicine Clan and Crimson Cloud Pavilion, which is connected to the Crimson Cloud Sect. This Crimson Cloud Pavilion is an auction hall like the one in the Mortal Realm. Yue Xuexia didn’t know if they had a connection to the two elders and Lin Chiyu she knew.

Arriving at the Heavenly Sword Sect...
Qi Shiru and the young disciples with them were shocked when they returned to the sect. Unexpectedly, upon entering the gates of the clan, their master, Guan Yueyi, was waiting with them, together with their senior brother, Mo Jue, and their senior sister, Fu Lili. Qi Shiru actually forgot to inform them about Yue Xuexia because he and his junior brothers were busy blocking all the bad guys who wanted to approach Yue Xuexia. Not only were these men persistent. They are also annoying as hell. They noticed that Yue Xuexia had no interest in entertaining them and was ignoring them the whole time.
"Master! Mo Shixiong! Fu Shijie! Why are you here? Are you waiting for us?" Qi Shiru said.
Fu Lili smiled and twisted her junior brother’s ears and said, "Lady Yue is such a special guest. Why didn’t you bring her over to rest as soon as you returned to the city?"
"Miss Yue, we’ve met again. I haven’t thanked you enough for saving Fu Shimei’s life," said Mo Jue as he clasped his hand and bowed his head towards Yue Xuexia.
Yue Xuexia helped the man up and allowed him to raise his head. She said, "That favor has been repaid with the treasures you have left behind. That is more than enough as payment."
She looked at the gorgeous aunt standing beside Mo Jue and Fu Lili, who had been observing her since she arrived, and said, "I wonder what this Daoist would wish to say. You kept on staring at me. Is there something wrong?" Her words were polite; however, Yue Xuexia showed no fear towards this Mid Jindan Realm cultivator staring at her.
"Shizun~"
Fu Lili grabs her master’s sleeves and calls to her worriedly. She didn’t want her master to treat her savior as some kind of spy who came over to see them.
Guan Yueyi’s thoughts while staring at Yue Xuexia before: ’This young lady definitely had qi in her. However, she couldn’t see through her cultivation. I am not even sure if this lady is a spy or not. Is it truly okay to invite someone with an unknown background as a guest of her peak?
She only woke up when Guan Yueyi heard her disciple calling to her.
Guan Yueyi finally made a move and clasped her hand to greet Yue Xuexia, but unlike Mo Jue, she didn’t bow her head, as she could still be considered a senior towards Yue Xuexia.
"Pardon me for my rudeness. I heard that the young lady had a token from the Starfield Sect, which was used to identify you at the gates. I wonder if this one can see it as well," said Guan Yueyi.
Yue Xuexia met the eyes of Guan Yueyi and knew that she was being treated as a spy, and sighed. She once again took off her jade token from her grandfather and threw it at Guan Yueyi.
Sigh~
"Catch," said Yue Xuexia.
The Peak Master of the Three Sword Sect was a bit offended by what Yue Xuexia had done. However, she couldn’t get it, as in fact she was the one who treated the latter oddly right from the beginning. It is only right that Yue Xuexia will not treat her well. Guan Yueyi checked the token and realized that this was a real token from the Starfield Sect. Moreover, it’s the supreme elder’s personal token. That means the possibility of this young lady being the supreme elder’s granddaughter is real.
This time, all pretense was gone. Guan Yueyi looked at the cold eyes Yue Xuexia was giving her, which were completely different from the indifference she had shown before. At least, her eyes look a bit friendly towards her disciples. Peak Master Guan knew that she had overdone it and immediately approached the young lady.
This time, since it was indeed her fault, Guan Yueyi lowered her head in apology, catching everyone by surprise.
"Miss Yue, I apologize for my rudeness before. The situation in this area was not good due to the hidden attacks of the Evil Sects. They started sending spies into the Heavenly Sword Sect. That’s why I treated you coldly, thinking that you might be a spy who came over to sneak into our sect," Guan Yueyi explained. "As an apology, I will personally arrange for you to stay in the sect. I hope you accept my apology, my lady."
Yue Xuexia took the shot she had thrown at Guan Yueyi. The coldness in her eyes faded as she recalled that this woman in front of her was Sister Bingyu’s former master and also one of the people Tan Bingyu respected.
She said, "For the sake of Sister Bingyu’s face, I shall accept your apology. I won’t be staying with your sect for long and will take my leave once Sister Bingyu arrives."
"Thank you very much for your kindness. Allow me to escort you to our peak," Peak Master Guan Yueyi said.
Guan Yueyi summoned a flying artifact and flew away. Likewise, the rest of her disciples brought out their flying swords and flew. Yue Xuexia pretended that she couldn’t fly on her own like the rest of them and used her divine-grade Moon Severing fan as a flying artifact.

Three Sword Peak
This is the third peak among the twelve peaks in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Three Sword Peak is led by Guan Yueyi, who is in the mid-Jindan realm. Each mountain peak had its own master. This peak is covered with red-leaf willow trees, making it look like the third peak is carpeted with red shade. It looks gorgeous and magnificent. While flying, Yue Xuexia noticed that this third peak had little discipline compared to the other peaks they had passed by.
Yue Xuexia asked, "Why is your peak having a lesser number of disciples?"
Mo Jue was the one who answered that question and said, "There is a reason for this. Master doesn’t like noise, so she will only pick a disciple every decade."
"There is no need for too many disciples. Having too many means more resources. Instead of splitting resources among too many disciples, focusing on a small number is better. The fact that my disciples had the highest realm among their generation shows quality over quantity," Guan Yueyi said. "We are here. Let us descend."
