Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 349 - 349: Blackened Junior Sister (54)

There was one line, however, that claimed that an individual named Luo Lian had betrayed the Exalted Sea Sect and was thus expelled from the sect.

There is no time or place written down, and the cause for such betrayal was only recorded in one word: treason. Moreover, the consequences of such treason were extremely serious, and it resulted in that person being expelled from the sect.

Yue Ran raised her head to address the only member of the Exalted Sea Sect that she knew, "Hai Bing Tu, do you know a person named Luo Lian?"

Hai Bing Tu also raised her head from the pages of her book and replied, "Oh, her? She is the daughter of the sect leader, and she was expelled from the sect when I was a little child."

"Why was she expelled from the sect?" Yue Ran could not help but ask.

"The reason for that is…" Hai Bing Tu's speech quickly faltered as though she did not know what to say. "Well, to be honest, I do not know for sure, but I seemed to have heard that she had eloped with her lover."

Yue Ran thought for a while, nodded, and turned the pages of the book in her hand very quickly. There was nothing worth noting about the remainder of the content. Only one scroll she searched through, which stated that "the Sky Breeze Sect and the Blossoming Blade Sect came to visit the sect." merited her attention. It was said that the two sides—one from the Sky Breeze Sect and the Blossoming Blade Sect and the other from the Exalted Sea Sect—disagreed with each other and thus had a slight dispute. The Exalted Sea Sect was established purely for the benefit of the people and the world, and they will never enter the martial arts world and join in the muddied waters of the struggle for power between the different forces.

It seems that the Exalted Sea Sect has a genuine concern for the world and its people. They are also very powerful and have a lot of influence.

Then why did they collude with the demon beasts, given that the humans detested them in the first place?

Before long, several people finished looking through all the documents and scrolls around with joint efforts. Shu Ye rubbed his temples, looking a little worn out.

"So, what have you found?" Shu Ye asked, dragging a clean chair over to place it in front of Yue Ran and shooting her a flattering smile.

Yue Ran was not polite to the young man and sat down on the chair to rest her body.

"The owner of the Dark Sky Pavilion must know more than I do," Yue Ran said. "Why do you not tell me what you found first?"

"You do not even want to lose to me on this?" Shu Ye pouted before he continued, "Well, those books and scrolls I have gone through mostly recorded the trivial matters in the sect; only two scrolls recorded the teachings of the Exalted Sea Sect; here, you can have a look at them."

Shu Ye generously handed the two scrolls with the cultivation exercises to Yue Ran. Unfurling them, Yue Ran saw that while they were all basic breathing exercises, the techniques used were far more detailed and exquisite than those taught by the Sky Breeze Sect.

Yue Ran nodded before she began to share her findings, "As you are already aware, the Exalted Sea Sect was besieged by the community of martial arts and the immortal cultivators due to their collusion with the demon beasts."

Shu Ye nodded when he heard those words.

"Well, let us first talk about this book here. There are also some trivial expenses recorded here, but in August and September, the Exalted Sea Sect suddenly took in many children; yet, we also know that the Exalted Sea Sect does not take in any orphans unless they are talented, which was an improbable scenario. It does not mean impossible, though," Yue Ran said. "What was strange was the fact that the expenses of the sect suddenly increased a lot. It may be that the Exalted Sea Sect does have some dealings with the demon beasts, which resulted in this. At least, in my speculation, it is. You can think otherwise."

"But I do not think that the Exalted Sea Sect acts like a guilty organization from how they were acting from the eyes of the world," Shu Ye said.

"Indeed, "Yue Ran said in agreement. "In addition, a woman by the name of Luo Lian was expelled from the Exalted Sea Sect, which was a bit of a mystery."

Yue Ran specifically spoke one more sentence. After all, the two of them had unknown backgrounds and were both involved with the Exalted Sea Sect; although the specific relationship remained an unsolved problem.

There was no change in the facial expression of Shu Ye, and the two of them tacitly switched positions to flip through the books that the other had read through and judged significant. Shu Ye abruptly stroked his face in the midst of reading. Could it be that his handsome appearance and charm had decreased a lot, so the beauty did not believe in him?

The two of them soon finished flipping through the number of books and scrolls. Unknowingly, they had been in this underground space for a very long time, and they were very much mentally exhausted. Despite the fact that there was no danger at present, this room was still not a place where they could stay for an extended period.

Looking around the room, Yue Ran waved a hand and effortlessly placed all the books and scrolls into the spatial ring. It would not be a good thing if others were to find these pieces of information, even if many were not of importance.

"You previously mentioned that you wanted to restore the Exalted Sea Sect back to its former glory," Shu Ye said.
