Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 400: Silver Lotus Flower

At the gates of the Heavenly City...

Yue Xuexia and Fu Lili were led by Mo Jue out of the city and were planning to head to the fantasy forest. The atmosphere between the two ladies was quite friendly, and Mo Jue, who was leading them, was listening quietly to their conversation as well. Fu Lili cheerfully tells Yue Xuexia stories about Tan Bingyu when she was young. It can be said that before Guan Meirei became the personal disciple of Peak Master Guan Yueyi, her favorite personal disciple was none other than Tan Bingyu.

Unfortunately, fate is a bit cruel towards the Hidden Tan Clan, and it greatly affected Tan Bingyu as well. She had no other choice but to support her clan. Even though Peak Master Guan wanted to help her disciple at that time, the Heavenly Sword Sect could not openly offend the Snow Clan at that time, as they were at their peak during that time. The Heaven Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Wan Yuyan, had prevented any elders from leaving at that time, making the hidden Tan clan suffer on their own.

The only news the Three Swords Peak got after that event was that the Hidden Tan Clan had escaped to the mortal realm. The only proof that Tan Bingyu was alive is that her soul lamp remains lit even at this moment. Because of this event, Peak Master Guan Yueyi feels guilty towards her personal disciple. However, she couldn’t blame the Sect Master at that time, as she was only at the Peak Innateness Realm at that moment, while the enemies had Jindan Realm cultivators at their side.

Thanks to the explanation of Fu Lili, Yue Xuexia didn’t come to hate the Heavenly Sword Sect, and this is also the reason why she agreed to give them a divination as thanks for all the years her subordinate, Tan Bingyu, had resided in their sect. However, for an overprotective person like her, Yue Xuexia couldn’t accept the fact that they chose to save themselves rather than to help the hidden Tan clan at their lowest. After all, Yue Xuexia treated Tan Bingyu as a part of her family, making the whole Hidden Tan Clan not only her subordinate but also a part of her people.

For this reason, even though Yue Xuexia knew the source of the beast riot, she didn’t make a move. Like how they didn’t make a move when the Hidden Tan Clan was under attack, she also wouldn’t make a move even if, in the end, the Heavenly Sword Sect would be done forever.

The small group of three was about to enter the fantasy forest when Yue Xuexia suddenly stopped walking, confusing Mo Jue and Fu Lili, who were with her.

Fu Lili asked, "What’s wrong, Miss Yue?"

Yue Xuexia looked serious and said out of nowhere, "Since you guys are already here, why don’t you come out?"

The moment Yue Xuexia said these words, Mo Jue and Fu Lili immediately turned their guard on and looked around while protecting Yue Xuexia from the front and the rear. However, no one responded to her words, making it seem like she is a liar.

Sigh~

Yue Xuexia flipped open her black fan and waved it once; a few silver lotus flowers appeared in the sky. There were exactly four flowers hovering above the men hiding in the shadows. Mo Jue and Fu Lili felt dread as they felt the sword intent above the sky.

Mo Jue exclaimed, "Sword Intent!"

"How come her sword intent was so beautiful?" Fu Lili mumbles while staring at the sky.

She said with a cold voice, "If you don’t come out, I will assume you are enemies and exterminate you on the spot."

Finally, upon seeing the beautiful yet dangerous silver lotuses hovering in the sky. The people hiding in the area all come out. Fu Lili and Mo Jue immediately recognize one of them. The senior brother of the One Sword Peak, Wan Yuren.

The Heavenly Medicine Sect’s senior brother, Di Lou, raised his hand in surrender. "We don’t mean any harm. Please take away your sword intent."

"How come her sword intent can materialize so vividly and detailedly?" mumbled Wan Yuren.

Mo Jue and Fu Lili clasped their hands towards Wan Yuren and saluted, "We greet Senior Brother Wan."

"Be at ease. I am also on my way to my mission," said Wan Yuren, the personal disciple of Sect Master Wan Yuyan of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Crimson Cloud Pavilion’s owner, Lin Chiru, clasped his hand before Yue Xuexia and apologized, "I hope the young miss isn’t offended. We are only here because we are always on our way to the fantasy forest."

Seeing that Mo Jue and Fu Lili recognized one of them, she took back her sword intent and stared at Lin Chiru.

She then asked, "What is your relationship with Lin Chiyu?"

Once this question was asked, the friendly smile on Lin Chiru’s face had faded, and he looked at Yue Xuexia with a serious gaze. Everyone noticed the shift in the atmosphere around Lin Chiru, making the rest of them, except Yue Xuexia, on guard.

Lin Chiru asked, "I wonder if Miss Yue is a friend or an enemy of Lin Chiyu?"

"He is nothing but a stranger who I had met somewhere. We have no direct connection, but I bought a few things in his auction hall," answered Yue Xuexia nonchalantly.

It was only at this moment that Lin Chiru had once again started using his business smile. Unlike his guarded look before, after observing Yue Xeuxia’s reaction, it can be said that this young lady does not have any relationship with Lin Chiyu.

Crimson Cloud Pavilion’s owner, Lin Chiru, said, "Pardon my rudeness. I was unsure if the young miss was a friend or an enemy of my little brother, Chiyu. I hope the young miss accepts my apology for the rudeness."

"No problem. You are a stranger after all. So, what is the reason for you blocking us here?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Though she didn’t threaten them at all, one can see that her eyes had completely changed. There is only coldness in it. One wrong word and Yue Xuexia will definitely attack them all regardless of whether they are personal disciples of each sect in the Heavenly City.

The short-tempered senior brother from the Heavenly Flame Sect approached Yue Xuexia and looked down on her. Clearly, he didn’t see Yue Xuexia as someone worthy of being afraid of. Yue Xuexia didn’t care about this man. Fu Lili tried to protect Yue Xuexia and stood before her, preventing Hou Wen from approaching.

Fu Lili said with a trembling voice, "W-What do you want to do? Stay away from her!"

Mo Jue also stood in front of Yue Xuexia and Fu Lili despite knowing he couldn’t defeat the man who approached them.

Annoyed, Heavenly Flame Sect’s Hou Wen was angered by the scene and frowned. "Move away, Mo Jue. I am not here for you but for the lady behind your shimei."

"I wonder if Senior Brother Hou is willing to step back. Miss Yue is the esteemed guest of our Heavenly Sword Sect," Mo Jue said.

Hou Wen was enraged by his words and said, "Do you not understand human language?!" He raised his hand to hit Mo Jue but was stopped by everyone from his group.

Wan Yuren used his sheathed sword to block Hou Wen’s hand. Di Lou used his ability to control plants to prevent Hou Wen from moving. Lin Chiru, who was the strongest, grabbed his wrist directly, using force to stop him.

Lin Chiru said, "What do you think you are doing, Hou Wen?"

"Are you going to hit a female?!" shouted Di Lou from the Heavenly Medicine Sect.

Wan Yuren said, "If you want to fight, I don’t mind accompanying you."

"Why are you guys all... Hiss!" Hou Wen felt a prick of pain coming from his neck.

When everyone looked at Hou Wen’s neck, they noticed a small silver lotus flower with all of its petals open in full bloom. Each petal was as sharp as a sharpened sword. They knew who owned this lotus flower-shaped sword. It’s because they knew that they couldn’t believe that no one noticed how Yue Xuexia made a move. One thing is for sure. If Hou Wen’s fist had landed on Mo Jue’s face, his head would have flown off after being cut by this sword intent.

Everyone was stunned as they all looked at the calm, veiled lady behind Fu Lili. She was staring at Hou Wen with cold eyes and is now looking at him like a corpse, not that of a living man, but a dead man. A chill climbs everyone’s back. None of them noticed when that silver lotus appeared. Just this fact alone shows how powerful the veiled lady is compared to them.

Gulp~

"If you have nothing to say, we shall take our leave. Lili, Mo Jue, let’s go," said Yue Xuexia as she walked away.

Mo Jue and Fu Lili bow their heads towards their senior brother and chase after Yue Xuexia’s figure, who entered the Fantasy Forest so fearlessly. Once that group was no longer around, the four men looked at each other and put distance between them. The small silver lotus flower near Hou Wen’s neck had also disappeared. Only the small trail of blood on his neck was proof that he had almost died.
