Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 82 Invitation to the Grand Event
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

The twentieth day of the first lunar month.

On Lotus Peak.

Gu Qingqing had just finished her monthly chores for the outer sect and was returning to Lianyou Peak when she happened to run into Liu Yuechan.

"Senior Sister Liu, what does Elder Xu want you to do?"

"Next month is the Flower Festival in Beiya Mountain. Longquan Prefecture has invited us to send disciples to participate."

Liu Yuechan explained to her junior sister Qingqing, "Beiya Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Sheyang Sect, and Sheyang Sect is on good terms with our Dongyuan Sect."

"The Flower Festival is a grand event held every three years, and we were always invited to attend in the past."

"On the one hand, it's an invitation for us to assist in the management and support of the festival; on the other hand, it's also to enhance the friendship between the two sides."

As if remembering something, Liu Yuechan mentioned, "The Yan family of the Sword Casting Manor in Longquan Prefecture has also done a lot of work for us."

"Who knows, the flying sword and magical artifact you received from the sect may have been made by the Yan family."

Gu Qingqing said "Oh", then corrected, "Qingqing doesn't use flying swords or magic weapons, but who knows where Senior Brother Song's flying sword came from."

"Senior Brother Song?"

Liu Yuechan was taken aback: "You mean Song Yesheng?"

"correct."

Liu Yuechan pondered for a moment, seemingly recalling something.

The New Year has just passed, and there are just too many sect missions that I need to distribute the prompts to, and I'm afraid I'll get confused.

"Um……"

"This Junior Brother Song seems to be on the list of those providing support this time."

"what?"

Gu Qingqing said enviously, "Senior Brother Song is so lucky... he gets to go traveling and have fun."

Support missions like those for the Flower Festival are unlikely to be dangerous.

They claimed to be assisting with the grand ceremony, but these people knew nothing about such matters.

The festival has been held in Beiya Mountain for so many years, how could something go wrong?
Thinking back, in the past, it was just about admiring flowers, eating, drinking, playing, and having fun.

"Elder Xu has chosen the people for this mission..."

"Senior Brother Lin Qing, who has just been promoted to the inner sect, is leading the team. Among the outer sect members are Song Yesheng, Li Qingfeng, and Junior Sister Yue Rong."

Liu Yuechan pondered for a moment: "However, perhaps Elder Xu made a mistake when he initially finalized the list. Junior Sister Yuerong has just entered the mid-stage of Qi Refining and has not been in the sect for two years."

"That's against the rules."

"Although there is no real danger during the Flower Festival, I actually plan to replace her because of the risks."

"what?"

Gu Qingqing felt a little sad and secretly felt sorry for her friend.

This way, there's virtually no danger, and it's a perfectly legitimate opportunity to travel and enjoy the scenery—something that only happens once every three years.

However, this rule is ultimately intended to protect the disciples of the sect.

Upon closer examination, there's not much to say.

"If nothing comes up on the fifteenth of next month, you can take Yue Rong's place and attend."

"me?"

Gu Qingqing certainly wanted to go; both Senior Brother Song and Senior Brother Li were good friends.

Traveling and enjoying nature with good friends is always a wonderful thing.

"No, senior sister."

However, she still felt a little awkward and declined the cushy offer.

She always felt that this was "stealing" her best friend's opportunity.

"Since Elder Xu has made this decision, he must have had some considerations."

"Junior Sister Yue Rong has already entered the fourth level of Qi Refining, and there will be no danger during the Flower Festival."

"This is a good opportunity for her to broaden her horizons."

After listening, Liu Yuechan nodded: "Hmm, that makes sense."

"However, in the end, let Senior Sister decide."

"it is good."

……

Dongyuan Sect, Taiping Peak.

Song Yan and Li Qingfeng stepped into the mission hall together.

About a few hours ago, the two of them received a message from Senior Brother Lin Qing.

The gist of it is that in the middle of next month, there will be a sect dispatch mission, which seems to require us to go north to Longquan Prefecture.

The two of them came to the mission hall at the same time, to see what the situation was like in advance.

"Old Song, isn't the Flower Festival a festival for mortals? Do cultivators in Longquan Prefecture also celebrate this festival?" "How would I know?"

Song Yan's gaze searched the jade disc.

During the same period, the sect had quite a few missions to send people out to other places.

For example, he just saw some going to garrison Changping, and others going to Xiqijiang for handover...

It took a lot of effort to find out the task related to my Flower Festival.

He also kept a close eye on things and confirmed several times that this was a mission issued by the sect, not some random request.

Sect support mission.

Location: Beiya Mountain, Longquan Prefecture.

Lin Qing, an inner disciple. Eighth level of Qi Refining…

Outer disciples to be transferred:

Song Yan and Li Qingfeng. Sixth level of Qi Refining...

Yang Yuerong. Qi Refining Level 4.

Inside this mission jade slip, there was also an invitation letter from the Sheyang Sect.

"Respectfully addressed to fellow Daoists of the Dongyuan Sect from Beiya Mountain:"

"With the Flower Festival approaching, the ancient rituals of the ceremony are being restarted. We earnestly request that our elite disciples be dispatched to assist in all matters of security."

"The Mountain Kitchen has just opened its new cellar for a hundred-flower honey brew. After the grand ceremony, we wish to share the joy of being intoxicated by the flowers with you all."

“Respectfully presented by Wu Duo from Linghua Valley, Beiya Mountain.”

"The 26th day of the first month of the year Yi Si".

Beiya Mountain...

Song Yan pondered.

The first person he thought of was Rong Xiaofeng and Wu Huaguo, a married couple.

After exploring the cultivator's cave together that day, the two of them mentioned that the Wu clan was located in Beiya Mountain.

"What a coincidence."

Should we really go and pay them a visit?
However, upon reflection, the fact that even the two behemoths of the Chu Kingdom's cultivation world, the Sheyang Sect and the Dongyuan Sect, would participate in such a grand event as the Flower Festival suggests that the Wu clan is inextricably linked to it.

Who knows, this Wu Duo from Linghua Valley might be a member of the Wu clan...

Let it go.

The truly famous people in Longquan Prefecture are not the Wu Clan, whose existence is still uncertain.

Instead, it was the renowned sword-making manor of the Chu Kingdom, the Yan family.

The so-called "Northern Yan and Southern Qin".

The Yan family of Longquan Prefecture, renowned for its weapon crafting, is undoubtedly the leader among the four great immortal cultivation families.

Its overall strength is probably even greater than that of some smaller sects.

If there's any free time during this trip, I could visit the Yan family.

Song Yan was very interested in the forging material of the "Unmoored Boat" and was looking for someone to discuss it with.

After studying it for a long time, Li Qingfeng finally came to the conclusion: "Old Song, this is a damn good job!"

"Enjoy sightseeing! Admire flowers and the moon!"

Song Yan, however, did not think so.

There was nothing I could do; I was afraid of being talked about like that.

Let's start from the trip to Silent Valley.

I remember that Senior Brother Lu Ziye kept telling them from the beginning, "It's easy" and "There's no danger at all."

And the result? They almost didn't make it back.

As for Peach Blossom Village, at first I thought it was just a place to clean up some small fish and shrimp.

And what happened? We almost became someone else's prey.

Sometimes he wonders if these tasks were really easy to begin with.

It's just because of my own bad luck and being a lone star that ordinary tasks have become fraught with danger.

"Hey, do you think everyone is like those bastards from the Xuan Yuan Sect?"

Li Qingfeng tapped the copied mission jade slip in his hand: "The Sheyang Sect has elders in charge, but our sect had already given them advance notice."

"Nothing will happen."

He sneakily approached Song Yan and whispered, "Xiao He, let's go out and play!"

A muffled, guttural echo came from inside her sleeve.

"Let's go out and play!"
