Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 385: Compensation

Upon arriving at the Three Swords Peak, Peak Master Guan Yueyi personally sent Yue Xuexia to a guest pavilion under her name. It was the biggest place in their peak aside from her abode. This shows her respect towards Yue Xuexia.

Peak Master Guan said, "Miss Yue, please stay in this pavilion as you wish. If you need some help or have a request, you can ask some disciples on this mountain. I will inform them of your identity as an esteemed guest."

"Thank you. However, I feel bad to stay without paying. Please receive this as payment for my stay and my gift to this place’s owner," said Yue Xuexia.

She gave Peak Master Guan Yueyi a gold-grade sword that was mass-produced by her with the leftover material after her family’s artifacts were made. There is a small pillbox as a gift for the sect master of this sect, whom she was invited to as a guest.

Before entering the pavilion, Yue Xuexia looked at Fu Lili and the rest.

"If you guys aren’t busy, please accompany me for tea sometimes," Yue Xuexia said.

Fu Lili, Mo Jue, and Qi Shiru clasped their hands and said, "It will be our pleasure."

Everyone watched as Yue Xuexia entered the pavilion before taking their leave. The four of them headed to their master’s hall and had a conversation.

Peak Master Guan said, "Xiao Qi, tell me again where you had met Miss Yue. Tell me all the details."

"I brought my junior sisters and brothers to the Fantasy Forest after taking a Sect mission or bringing back an 8th or 9th level Qi Refinement Beast. We were unlucky and met with a Peak Foundation White Lion," said Qi Shiru.

Mo Jue said, "Fantasy Forest’s Beast King is a Peak Jindan realm White Lion; that might be its kin. Did you kill it?"

"No, it’s too powerful, and I ordered a retreat," said Qi Shiru. "It was then that Miss Yue appeared. She was plucking some immortal herbs and saw us on our way as we ran. The White Lion Beast tried to kill her."

"You tried to send a beast to someone just to escape? Xiao Qi, I never taught you such despicable means," Fu Lili said.

Qi Shiru said, "No. I never did that. We didn’t know Miss Yue was there. Moreover, it was she who stopped the white lion. The peak foundation realm white lion was like a child in her hands. She only needed a finger to stop it from moving forward. Plus, she spared it because she found it cute. So in exchange for immortal herbs, the white lion was spared."

"She let it leave to bring immortal herbs for her. What came after was even more terrifying. The one who brought the immortal herbs she requested wasn’t the Peak Foundation realm White Lion from before, but the Beast King himself."

"The Beast King only stared at her for a while, then finally lowered its head and never made a move to attack her. The Beast King had given her a lot of immortal herbs and fruits that she had taken a liking to, so she gave them a jade bottle. Then the Beast King happily left."

"Then she accompanied us all the way. What is surprising is that nothing above our levels comes out to attack us anymore. After completing the mission, we returned. That’s all that’s happened."

The story of Qi Shiru left the other three speechless. After all, that’s Peak Jindan Realm Beast King. It’s even more powerful than their master, the Peak Master of the Three Swords Sect, Guan Yueyi.

Fu Lili said, "Does this mean the Beast King was afraid of Miss Yue? But wasn’t she only a mortal a year ago? How is it possible!?"

"If she is indeed Supreme Elder Xia’s granddaughter, then it is not impossible. I thought that identity might be wrong, but it might be real. She might be even above the Golden Core Realm. Such a young Nascent Soul Cultivator. What a monster," said Peak Master Guan.

Mo Jue asked, "What should we do now, Shizun?"

"Treat her as usual, but be respectful. She might be a hidden senior. I need to report to the Sect Master about this. Miss Yue is someone we cannot afford to offend. Warn your junior sisters and brothers as well," said Peak Master Guan Yueyi before taking leave and flying towards the main peak with her flying sword.

The three personal disciples of Peak Master Guan were left behind in the hall after their master left. They didn’t know what to do next.

Fu Lili asked, "Mo Shixiong, what should we do next?"

"Wait a minute, let me think," said Mo Jue.

Qi Shiru suggested, "Maybe buy some pastries. Ladies love sweets, right?"

Fu Lili and Mo Jue didn’t expect their junior brother to have a brain for a situation like this. They couldn’t afford to change their attitude towards Yue Xuexia and had to treat her the same as before, but without offending her. Qi Shiru’s suggestion is the most normal approach.

Qi Shiru panicked, seeing his senior looking at him, and said, "Did I say something wrong again?"

"No. This time, your suggestion is the best. Come with me to the luxurious Cloud Sweet Pavilion to buy some sweets and pastries," said Fu Lili.

Mo Jue immediately avoided the two after hearing the name Cloud Sweet Pavilion. That is a famous store that sells expensive sweets, and mostly only females come to that place.

With an expression of not wanting to go, Qi Shiru pleads with his senior sister, Fu. "Shijie, can I not go?"

"No. You must go with me," said Fu Lili as his back collar was grabbed.

Qi Shiru said, "Shixiong, save me!"

However, Mo Jue didn’t save him at all and only saw them off.

At the Heavenly Sect Main Peak...

Peak Master Guan Yueyi had sought an audience with their sect’s master, Wan Yuyan. This man was like a sword himself. He looks like a man in his early thirties with sharp yet handsome features, especially the sword imprint on his forehead. He is a Mid Nascent Soul Realm.

Sect Master Yuyan said, "What is the matter, (Junior Sister) Guan Shimei?"

"I represent a gift from my Three Swords Peak’s esteemed guest to the Sect Master. I had investigated, and she is most likely not a spy from any other sect or evil sect. Please take the gift," said Peak Master Guan.

Sect Master Wan Yuyan glanced at the pillbox floating in front of him. He asked, "What is the guest’s name and his affiliation?" He frowned when he looked at the small box in front of him.

Peak Master Guan answered, "Her name is Yue Xuexia. She possessed a personal token of Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder, Xia Lianyu."

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s master, Wan Yuyan, finally opened the box and was shocked. A powerful scent of medicine and a refreshing aura that increases vitality spread in the hall. Sect Master Wan Yuyan immediately closed the small box as if afraid that the potency of the pill would fade.

Another Peak Master asked, "Sect Master, what’s in the box?"

"Longevity Pill," answered Sect Master Wan Yuyan. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

This answer rendered everyone in the area dumbfounded, and they suddenly collectively exclaimed, "LONGEVITY PILL!"

"Aren’t those things considered ancient pill recipes?"

"Impossible! I don’t think it’s real."

"It’s real. I guarantee it with my name," Sect Master Wan Yuyan said. "With this, our Sect Ancestor should be able to wake up."

"As long as our Sect Ancestor is here, those demonic cultivators will not be able to destroy our Heavenly Sword Sect. Peak Master Guan, is it possible for me to visit the young lady?" The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect asked.

Peak Master Guan Yueyi didn’t dare give an answer right away. She only said, "I will send a disciple to ask if she is willing to see a guest. The young lady doesn’t seem to like crowds, so..."

"I will meet her alone," said Sect Master Wan Yuyan.

Peak Master Guan Yueyi said, "I will call for Shixiong once she agrees. But is she truly someone from the Starfield Sect?"

"I am not sure, but maybe she is. I will ask the Ancestor about it next time. You can return for now, Guan Shimei," Sect Master Wan Yuyan said.

After being excused to leave, Guan Yueyi had taken her leave to return to her peak. Likewise, the rest of the elders of the sect had taken their leave. What they didn’t know was that there were other sects and clans that had heard about Yue Xuexia’s identity as the Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder’s granddaughter. Because of this, they all wanted to meet her.

At the Crimson Fire Sect, Hong Lian, who was brought back to the sect unconscious, finally opened his eyes in his abode inside the sect, with his master checking on him. The moment he opened his eyes, he looked around and saw the familiar ceiling of his place.

His master, an early golden core realm cultivator called Hong Yu, said, "Lian’er, what happened to you? How come your juniors saw you unconscious at the city gates? Did you have another fight with that child from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qi Shiru?"

"Master? Aren’t I fighting with Shiru just now? Hm?" The groggy Hong Lian remembered what had just happened and suddenly screamed.

AHHH!

"Master, the granddaughter of Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder had become a guest of the Heavenly Sword Sect. There is a personal token of the Supreme Elder with her," Hong Lan exclaims.

"Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder’s Granddaughter?!" Hong Yu said as he looked in the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
