Chapter 983: Nine hundred and eighty-one, exchange gifts

Regarding the conversations of the surrounding crowd, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo directly chose to ignore them. When they secured the top three spots in the selection competition, they had already mentally prepared for this. Anyway, in a few days, they would be heading to the Earth Realm, so whatever others wanted to gossip about didn’t concern them.

The dishes were quickly delivered to the table, and Luo Shu picked up the wine jug, pouring wine into everyone’s cups.

"When are we departing for the Earth Realm?" Xiao Yao took a sip of wine and looked across at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, asking. He and Yun Han only knew about the selection competition; they hadn’t had time to learn about its specifics and arrangements.

"In a week. Over the next few days, why don’t you follow us back to the Liangyi Sect?" Luo Shu said. Having Yun Han and Xiao Yao with them at the Liangyi Sect would assure them. Besides, Yun Han was quite thoughtful when it came to sect construction and planning. If he went to the Liangyi Sect, he might be able to help.

"Won’t your sect leader mind?" Yun Han asked. He wasn’t sure what kind of person the Liangyi Sect’s sect leader was. If Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo acted on their own to bring them back, offending the sect leader would be bad.

"He won’t mind. Our sect leader is quite decent, and actually, we might need your help with something this time." Luo Shu glanced at the waiter who brought over a plate of Spirit-Seeking Rabbit and looked a bit surprised, "But didn’t we order this dish?"

"This dish was sent over by the guests at that table." The waiter placed the plate of braised Spirit-Seeking Rabbit on the table and glanced toward the table that had asked him to deliver it.

The four of them turned their heads, and it was clear that the person wasn’t a stranger. It was Leng Yihan, who they had encountered briefly before. He was sitting with two young men and women, who, judging from their attire, were also disciples of the Sacred Heavenly Gate.

Leng Yihan noticed Luo Shu and her group turning their gaze toward him and raised his wine cup with a smile in their direction.

Seeing this, the four picked up their cups in turn to reciprocate the gesture. Although they didn’t know why Leng Yihan sent over the dish, now that he had, returning it wouldn’t be very polite.

Turning her head, Luo Shu instructed the nearby waiter who hadn’t left yet, "Please bring over one of your best bottles of wine for me." Regardless of Leng Yihan’s reasons for sending over the Spirit-Seeking Rabbit, she didn’t want to accept it without reciprocating.

"Understood!" The waiter responded and quickly withdrew.

Soon afterward, the waiter brought over a prized bottle of wine and delivered it to Leng Yihan’s table, "This wine was sent by the guests at that table." The waiter gestured toward Luo Shu’s table.

Leng Yihan glanced over at Luo Shu and the others, gently nodding with a smile.

Luo Shu and her group returned his nod with faint smiles.

Afterward, the interaction between the two tables ended, as if the prior exchange had never happened.

Xun Haotian entered the inn with Elder Void, and at once, his gaze landed on Luo Shu and her group who were drinking and chatting in the main hall.

"Luo Shu, Lu Hanmo." Xun Haotian and Elder Void approached their table.

"Sect leader!" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo immediately rose to their feet.

Yun Han and Xiao Yao put down their wine cups and followed suit.

"These two must be the friends you mentioned?" Xun Haotian looked at Xiao Yao and Yun Han, noticing both of their cultivation levels were quite impressive—Mid-Late Stage Extreme Immortal cultivation. For those ascending together with Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, achieving such cultivation was already exceptional, since great opportunities aren’t something everyone can encounter.

"They’re from the same place as us. This is Yun Han, and this is Xiao Yao. They are friends of ours, and this is our sect leader, Elder Void." Luo Shu introduced them to each other.

"Sect Leader! Elder Void!" Yun Han and Xiao Yao greeted Xun Haotian and Elder Void.

"No need for formalities! Since you are friends of Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, you are also friends of our Liangyi Sect." Xun Haotian said with a smile. Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo’s willingness to offer these two their spots means their bond with them was quite deep.

"Sect leader, I would like Yun Han and Brother Xiao Yao to stay in the sect for a few days." Luo Shu said as she looked to Xun Haotian.

"Very well! Welcome! Welcome!" Xun Haotian happily agreed.

"Thank you, Sect Leader! We appreciate it!" Yun Han and Xiao Yao expressed their gratitude. They hadn’t expected the Liangyi Sect’s sect leader to be so approachable.

The group chatted for a while before leaving the inn.

Finding a quieter area, Xun Haotian summoned a flying artifact. Once everyone boarded, he piloted it toward the Liangyi Sect.

Deputy Sect Master Ouyang Hai and a group of elders were currently at Green Cloud Square handling the disciple recruitment process. The disciples who had participated in the selection competition had already been escorted back to the sect aboard a flying artifact led by another elder.

As Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stepped into the Liangyi Sect, they heard the sound of bustling footsteps. Shortly after, they saw a large group of sect disciples rushing toward them excitedly. On every face was visible excitement, enthusiasm, and admiration.

"Junior Sister Luo, Junior Brother Lu, welcome back victorious! We’ve all heard about your performance—it was amazing!"

"Senior Brother Li said that even disciples from the Top Ten Sects didn’t dare challenge you two."

"Because of your achievement, our Liangyi Sect has taken first place and been promoted to a Fifth-Rank Sect. The Top Ten Sects are only Sixth-Rank Sects. Does this make us disciples of a Major Sect now?"

The disciples spoke excitedly one after another. Although they had received the news long ago, they still hadn’t recovered from the shock of it.

"Ahem!" Xun Haotian chuckled lightly and cleared his throat. Although he was also quite pleased, some rules still couldn’t be ignored.

"Sect leader!" The disciples finally realized that in their excitement, they had completely overlooked their sect leader. They quickly paid their respects to Xun Haotian.

Xun Haotian smiled and nodded, waving his hand at the disciples, "Alright, return to cultivating."

"Understood!" The disciples responded, though they couldn’t help but glance at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo several more times before reluctantly dispersing in different directions.

Watching them leave, Xun Haotian turned his gaze back to Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, his face filled with warmth, "You two are now held in higher regard by the disciples than I, their sect leader."

"Sect Leader, don’t be jealous. Once we’re gone, you’ll still be the most important person to them." Luo Shu teased mischievously with a grin.

"You little rascal!" Xun Haotian pretended to scold Luo Shu before bursting into laughter.

The group continued to move toward the discussion hall with smiles and laughter.

During their journey, Xun Haotian and Yun Han had a delightful conversation, and Xun Haotian greatly appreciated Yun Han’s proposed plans for sect governance.

Once seated in the main hall, the group launched into a heated discussion that lasted a full day and night. Only then did they finalize a flawless proposal.

Though visibly tired, Xun Haotian rubbed his temples, a satisfied smile on his face. With this kind of plan, the future of the Liangyi Sect seemed brighter than ever.
