Chapter 956: Chapter 955 Jointly Confronting the Enemy

Chapter 956 -955 Jointly Confronting the Enemy

Man Gu only told Dai Bufan about Lu Yang visiting the Laurel Fairy Palace and did not inform anyone else.

Tao Yaoye came to the Fairy Palace in a hurry after receiving an urgent message from Lan Ting.

Being able to see Elder Brother Lu Yang so up close already made the trip worthwhile.

Lan Ting huffed coldly, “It’s just because of a shortage of personnel.”

With Lu Yang confined in Sinners’ Hall, disciples of the Immortal Palace kept coming relentlessly to visit him. Lan Ting couldn’t support it all alone and had to ask for Tao Yaoye’s assistance.

“I didn’t expect even Junior Sister Lan to become so small,” said Tao Yaoye, who, as an adult, felt a natural sense of superiority and didn’t bother arguing with the likes of a little one like Lan Ting.

Lan Ting spoke calmly, “There are benefits to being small. For example, I grew up with Senior Brother Lu as childhood sweethearts, an innocent romance. Such experiences, I presume, Junior Sister Tao, you might not be able to understand.”

The two stared intently at each other, trying to find a crack in the other’s expression.

Unfortunately, it was futile.

“Forget it, why should I compete with a little one like you? Tell me the current situation.”

Lan Ting’s brows did not relax, “It’s not very optimistic. I don’t know how many people in the Fairy Palace harbour hidden intentions towards Elder Brother Lu Yang. Anyway, there were quite a few who came under the guise of visiting him yesterday.”

“And with this incident, once Elder Brother Lu Yang comes out, they’ll still find excuses to visit him.”

“Indeed, it’s troublesome.” There was already a Lan Ting competing for Elder Brother Lu Yang’s attention, and if the potential competitors in the Immortal Palace made contact with him and became rivals, it would be even harder to compete.

“It seems that the issue at hand is how to stop them from entering Sinners’ Hall to visit Elder Brother Lu Yang.”

“How about we simply say Elder Brother Lu Yang is in seclusion and should not be disturbed?”

“That won’t do. Once Elder Brother Lu Yang comes out, a simple question could reveal the lie. Moreover, if other people cannot visit Sinners’ Hall because of this reason, it also means we can’t go in.”

It was a rare opportunity to interact with Lu Yang in a special place like Sinners’ Hall. Visiting Lu Yang could increase their rapport. They could have conversations exclusive to them, share a laugh after talking—it was an opportunity neither was willing to give up easily.

They needed to find a solution that would work for everyone.

“Senior Sister Lan Ting, what are you doing standing here, and who is this…” a voice interrupted their thoughts.

Lan Ting turned her head and saw that it was He Miao from the Refinement Chamber.

“It’s Junior Sister He Miao. Are you here to visit Elder Brother Lu Yang too? Let me introduce you, this is Tao Yaoye from the Seek Dao Sect, the one who developed the popular Dream Mirage.”

Tao Yaoye raised her hand to stop Lan Ting’s introduction, “The Dream Mirage wasn’t solely my achievement. Elder Brother Lu Yang helped me a great deal. He really put a lot of thought into it, even coming up with the name ‘Dream Mirage’.”

“Nice to meet you, Senior Sister Tao.” He Miao did not expect to meet the renowned Tao Yaoye, who seemed to have a special relationship with Elder Brother Lu Yang.

“I’m here for nothing else but to hear that Elder Brother Lu Yang has been placed in your Sinners’ Hall, so I came to visit.”

Tao Yaoye sighed, “I just visited Elder Brother Lu Yang and found his place filled with baskets of fruit. He barely has space to set foot; the amount of Spirit Fruit is too much for one person to eat, isn’t it?”

“Moreover, Elder Brother Lu Yang receives the Fairy Palace’s Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters all day, exhausting himself. There’s a prisoner confined next to him who seems to be ill, writhing on the floor and chuckling creepily. I don’t think he had much rest last night; he didn’t look very energetic when I saw him this morning.”

Following He Miao, more Disciples of the Immortal Palace arrived: An Qiuxia, Xia Tang, Huang Shan, Bu Lianxin…

Seeing that no one was entering Sinners’ Hall and seeing Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting talking so intently at the entrance, they felt awkward about passing between them to go inside.

“Who is this person?”

“It’s Tao Yaoye, the inventor of the Dream Mirage, Elder Brother Lu Yang’s fellow sect member; she’s come to visit him.”

“She is Tao Yaoye?”

The inventor of the Dream Mirage, meaning a continuous flow of Spirit Stones into Tao Yaoye’s pocket, her wealth was incomparable to her peers, and even those in the Body Integration Realm had few who could compare with her.

Knowing the identity of the inventor Tao Yaoye, and hearing about her unusual relationship with Elder Brother Lu Yang, the disciples of the Immortal Palace naturally felt inferior to Tao Yaoye.

“I saw that Senior Brother is really not doing well in the Sinners’ Hall and was thinking of speaking to Palace Master Luo to see if we could stop visiting Elder Brother Lu Yang for now, which would be convenient for everyone.”

“That’s not acceptable!” Lan Ting quickly interjected, echoing the sentiments of the disciples of the Immortal Palace.

To directly prevent visits to Elder Brother Lu Yang, wouldn’t that strip us of any reason to contact him?

Tao Yaoye observed Lan Ting with interest, “May I know on what grounds Junior Sister Lan is stopping me, is it because in the entire Immortal Palace, only you have the best relationship with him? Or is it because you have completed missions with him, and without regard for your own life, you’ve fought alongside him against the Rudder Master of the Eternity Sect?”

Lan Ting sighed, “I do not have any noteworthy identity to speak of, it’s just that Elder Brother Lu Yang is, after all, the guest I invited, so it’s my responsibility if something goes wrong.”

“Yesterday, many Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters went to visit Elder Brother Lu Yang, disturbing his rest, and I didn’t stop them; that was our Immortal Palace’s fault, so I hope we can correct this mistake in time.”

“Since Junior Sister Tao thinks that there were too many visitors for Elder Brother Lu Yang yesterday, why not reduce the number of visits from today?”

“Please oversee me, Junior Sister Tao.”

Tao Yaoye stared at Lan Ting for a while, deciding whether to trust her or not; finally, she exhaled and said, “Very well, I’ll trust you this one time.”

Seeing that Tao Yaoye wouldn’t complain to the master, Lan Ting and the other disciples of the Immortal Palace heaved a sigh of relief.

Lan Ting stood on a large rock, waving her hand to draw everyone’s attention.

“Fellow Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters, I’m sure you all heard the agreement I just made with Junior Sister Tao.”

Everyone recognized Lan Ting’s status; Lu Yang was invited by her, and she had shared life-and-death experiences with him; she also stopped Tao Yaoye from seeking out the Palace Master, so she could represent them in making an agreement with Tao Yaoye.

“Elder Brother Lu Yang already knows of our Immortal Palace’s hospitality and manners, but the continuous visits have indeed inconvenienced him, and I bear the main responsibility.”

“In order to let Elder Brother Lu Yang get proper rest, I think the best way is for all Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters to prepare meals, and I will bring the meals on behalf of everyone to visit Elder Brother Lu Yang.”

“To make Elder Brother Lu Yang aware of everyone’s kindness, I will inform him whose cooking the meals are from.”

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, if they could make Elder Brother Lu Yang eat their cooking and leave a deep impression, that seemed like an acceptable solution.

Tao Yaoye frowned and stepped forward, “Elder Brother Lu Yang has a limited appetite, preparing too much food will go to waste, three meals a day is sufficient.”

“Then how shall we choose who will cook, draw lots?”

Lan Ting quickly said, “We visit Elder Brother Lu Yang to ensure he can rest well and eat well.”

“Since that’s the case, might as well select based on cooking skills, whoever cooks the best can go visit Elder Brother Lu Yang and deliver the meals.”

Lan Ting understood Tao Yaoye’s suggestion, a cooking skills contest would prevent people from competing with her over the right to visit Elder Brother Lu Yang, turning into an internal struggle over who could cook the tastiest meals that would leave a deep impression on Elder Brother Lu Yang.
