Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Taiching Disciple and Yuhua Reincarnation (Two in One)

The next day, at the break of dawn, Lin Xing, Puppet Girl, and Zhao Wanxi arrived at the central location of Qingtian City.

The entire Taiqing Sect seemed like an Imperial Palace, standing tall in this place.

Though the sky was barely light, there were already many people waiting outside the gates of Taiqing Sect, just like Lin Xing and the others, intending to enter and take a look around.

Suddenly, an old man with a white beard looked at Puppet Girl in astonishment and excitedly exclaimed, "You..."

Bai Yiyi thought to herself, "Who is this person? I don’t recognize him."

Just as Bai Yiyi was full of doubts, the white-bearded old man said, "This lady is clearly a naturally gifted martial arts prodigy. If you are willing, this old man can take you in as a member of the Taiqing Sect, starting as an outer disciple, for only one hundred taels..."

Puppet Girl quickly shooed the white-bearded old man away, and soon after, as the gates opened, the three of them bought tickets and entered together.

They first saw the vast Martial Arts Training Ground, then the street known as Taiching Avenue, as well as Qingyun Hall, Hidden Martial Treasure Pavilion...

As they walked along this path, waves of nostalgia surged in Bai Yiyi’s heart.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing discovered that tourists could only see a very small part of the Taiqing Sect, probably not even one-tenth, as most areas were blocked off and off-limits to visitors.

He thought to himself, "This money was truly not well spent."

Just then, a woman suddenly tapped Zhao Wanxi on the shoulder and said, "Isn’t that who? Have you forgotten me? We’re from the same hometown, and I’ve now been taken in by the Taiqing Sect. There’s an open position for an outer disciple, and since we are all fellow townspeople, I’ll only charge you one hundred taels."

The three of them hurriedly shook off the woman, and Bai Yiyi began to feel depressed, "What has happened to the Taiqing Sect."

But it was clear that this place had long since become a hunting ground for outer disciples, and throughout their visit, the three were constantly harassed.

Walking on the path to the last attraction, Lin Xing thought, "It seems that a simple visit won’t yield much. To understand the Taiqing Sect’s ability to control memory, to understand the ’Yuhua Reincarnation’... Master Bai’s memories seem to be of no use now, I need to think of another way."

As Lin Xing was contemplating, he suddenly heard a series of cries ahead.

When Lin Xing and his companions looked up, they saw an old woman being stopped by a few disciples of the Taiqing Sect, yet still crying and rushing inward.

"Where is my son? Let my son come out and see me!"

"Old Mother, your son has said that he has cut off worldly attachments and is devoted to martial arts. He will not come out to meet you."

"That’s impossible. My son is well-known as a paragon of filial piety in our local area; how could he refuse to even see me..."

Soon, the old woman was dragged out, and Lin Xing looked at the place she had just tried to rush into, noticing that it was already guarded by martial artists, with a sign nearby prohibiting tourists from entering.

On the way back, Bai Yiyi spoke dejectedly, "Everything has changed... the Taiqing Sect wasn’t like this in the past."

Zhao Wanxi thought to herself, "I thought Master Bai had some connections in the Taiqing Sect, but today it seems no different from any tourist."

Even now, this solitary star of calamity still did not know what Bai Yiyi and Lin Xing were doing at the Taiqing Sect, and she neither dared to speak of it nor inquire about it.

Lin Xing, however, looked thoughtfully at the signboard of a martial arts gym along the road, "Let’s go have a look at this martial arts gym."

Bai Yiyi looked over, "A local martial arts gym? What a shabby name."

Lin Xing pointed to the small print under the sign and said, "Private instruction by Taiqing Sect disciples."

"Master Bai, since the Taiqing Sect you remember is now completely different from the current one, it means your memories are no longer useful."

"I’ve been thinking, since we can pay to find a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, why not try to get some information from them."

Although Bai Yiyi felt awkward that she, an elder ancestor of the Taiqing Sect, would have to ask its disciples about information within the sect, she was eventually pulled inside by Lin Xing, ready to listen attentively to the forthcoming conversation between the two parties.

As soon as Lin Xing and his friends entered the local martial arts gym, a man approached them with enthusiasm, "Are you here to learn martial arts or to prepare for an exam?"

Lin Xing said, "Private instruction by Taiqing Sect disciples, do you offer that here?"

The man quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Please enter and wait a moment. I’ll brew a cup of tea for you, and I’ll go call someone right away."

Lin Xing and his companions took a seat in the reception room.

After about half an hour, a clean-cut and straightforward woman in tight-fitting clothing walked in, skimmed over Lin Xing and the others with her eyes, and said, "So it’s you who are looking for personal martial arts instruction from a Taiqing Sect disciple?"

"Here’s my sect Token," she said.

While saying that, she slapped a token on the table in front of them and spoke quickly, "My name is Ling Yufen. I’ve trained in the Taiqing Sect for two and a half years, specializing in fist, leg, and swordsmanship techniques."

Lin Xing handed the token to Puppet Girl and asked, "How does it look?"

Master Bai examined the Token and conveyed to Lin Xing mentally, "It’s indeed the Token of an Inner Sect Disciple, just like it was in my time."

Seeing that the three of them had no objections after putting down the Token, Ling Yufen continued to speak, "What do you want to learn?"

Lin Xing said, "We’re not here to learn martial arts, we just want to have a chat."

"A chat?" Ling Yufen furrowed her brows, "What’s there to talk about? I teach martial arts, not a courtesan to keep you company and chat."
