Get Lost, Rebellious Disciple (34)

"You're not wrong to say that. Anyway, I believe Canglan Continent doesn’t deserve to suffer like this." Chi Mu rarely spoke with such conviction, his voice firm.

"If it comes down to it, I’ll just go down there myself. At worst, I’ll destroy that damn well. Stupid piece of trash, daring to stir up trouble on the continent."

"Stop. You can talk, but don’t slam my console." Si quickly grabbed Chi Mu’s arm.

He was, after all, a god. If he put any real force into it, her console would be wrecked.

"Ahem, fine, my bad. But aren’t you going to say anything? You’re the Divine Maiden of Canglan, after all." Chi Mu shot Si a sidelong glance.

Logically, she should have the most authority in matters like this.

"I really can’t interfere." Si was helpless.

If it were anything else, she could handle it—maybe pull some strings or use her influence.

But this involved the demons, and it was directly tied to Little Wei’s mission.

If she intervened, it would cause Little Wei to fail her task outright.

Then Little Wei wouldn’t stand a chance in the elimination rounds.

"Alright then. I’ll help this time. After all, I owe you my life." Chi Mu was clear-headed about it.

"That’s unnecessary." Before Si could finish, Chi Mu cut her off.

"I have to go. I can send my avatar. As long as Gu Wei reveals her identity to the Huaiyang Sect, they’ll definitely provide the resources to help the continent through this crisis."

"But one condition is non-negotiable—Little Wei can’t sacrifice herself."

Si glanced at Chi Mu when she heard this.

"Obviously. If she dies, I’ll never forgive you."

Little Wei muttered under her breath, "Damn, I’m not even dead yet, and you’re already planning my funeral feast?"

Meanwhile, Helian Chi and the others had reached a decision.

For now, they’d seal the area with spirit stones to buy time. Once they returned and researched the matter further, they’d deal with it properly.

"So, little Gu, it seems your tiger won’t be of use for now. Go back with Elder Dan. Elder Dan, we’ll rely on you to look into the records. As for me, I can’t leave just yet."

Helian Chi gave Elder Dan his instructions.

If it was about the barrier, Little Gu wouldn’t be much help.

"Got it." Little Wei agreed readily.

This way, she’d have a chance to go to the Huaiyang Sect.

But there was one small problem—whether or not to bring Duan Lingyun.

"Better not." Chi Mu spoke up.

"Tell the Dan Peak Master, and I’ll take you there myself. I’m afraid you’ll get lost. Besides, if I show up beside you, Duan Lingyun will definitely get jealous. If a fight breaks out, it won’t be worth it."

Little Wei thought Chi Mu made sense.

She and Elder Dan flew out of Sunset Forest.

"Let’s take the disciples with us. It’s dawn now, and they’ll be safe back at the sect."

Elder Dan rambled on as he spoke to Little Wei.

"Uh, Elder Dan, I need to go to the Western Sea." Little Wei pursed her lips.

"The Western Sea? What for?" Elder Dan was baffled.

"To find the Huaiyang Sect."

At the mention of those three words, Elder Dan nearly stumbled off his sword but managed to steady himself.

"The Huaiyang Sect? Do you even know where it is?" Elder Dan found it strange.

After all, Little Wei had grown up in the Qingdao Sect. How could she know anything about the Huaiyang Sect?

"I don’t know. Maybe my parents left me some memories."

Little Wei’s ability to make things up was top-tier.

Elder Dan was stunned. Passing down memories wasn’t unheard of in the cultivation world.

"Then should I go with you?" The Dan Peak Master’s lips trembled with excitement.

Damn, this was like a resurrection.

If there was news about the Huaiyang Sect, this was the perfect opportunity.

"No, don’t butt in. Think about it—I’m the direct descendant. If you go, it’ll just be awkward. I’m leaving now, Elder Dan." Little Wei patted the old man’s shoulder and flew off on her sword before he could protest.

"Hey, you brat!" Elder Dan was fuming.

"Ah, finally, some peace." Little Wei had barely flown halfway when she noticed someone beside her.

Unlike her, this person wore a blue robe, walked on air, and had refined features—clearly someone of great cultivation.

It was Chi Mu himself.

"You just waltzed in like that?" Little Wei glanced at him.

"Of course. Others wouldn’t get in this fast. Right now, my strength is about the same as your sect leader’s. Any higher, and it wouldn’t work." Chi Mu smirked, looking pleased with himself.

"Mm. Not as handsome as me." Little Wei said.

Chi Mu: ???

"Are you serious? I’m helping you, and you say I’m not as good-looking as you? Back when I first joined the Huaiyang Sect, female cultivators lined up from the capital all the way to the seaside!"

Little Wei’s lips twitched.

"That’s just shameless."

"I’m not! I’m perfectly fine." Chi Mu snorted.

"But still not as handsome as me."

Chi Mu was about to lose it.

What did looks even matter?

"Yeah, yeah, you’re sooo handsome." Chi Mu replied half-heartedly.

"Honestly, I’m more worried about Duan Lingyun." Little Wei clenched her fists.

She had a feeling that once she entered the Huaiyang Sect, leaving wouldn’t be easy.

"Her cultivation is too low. Even if she entered the Huaiyang Sect, she might not last long." Chi Mu was thinking of Duan Lingyun’s well-being.

"And aren’t you feeling awkward too?" Chi Mu knew Little Wei had discovered Si’s identity.

He had no chance left anyway.

How boring.

"I am, but..." Little Wei suddenly leaned closer to Chi Mu, her bright almond eyes fixed on him.

Chi Mu felt slightly uneasy.

Was she finally coming around? Would she leave with him?

Not that he’d hold her past against her.

"How does my wife look? Is she pretty?"

Chi Mu: ...

"If that’s what you’re asking, then of course she’s beautiful."

What god wasn’t?

Besides, after Si ascended and donned her divine robes, she was radiant. If she hadn’t joined the company, she’d have had plenty of suitors.

"My taste is impeccable." Little Wei’s eyes sparkled with pride.

Chi Mu had nothing to say.

"By the way, Si, when we go back this time, can I see you?" Little Wei smiled faintly.

"No." Si refused.

Little Wei: ?

Qaq.

"Then I’ll leave?" Little Wei nearly whimpered.

Fine. All that affection, and it wasn’t even worth a sheet of plastic.

"Not like that. We just can’t meet." Si rubbed her temples.

"At least not until your elimination rounds are over. I promise I’ll see you then."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then can you call me ‘hubby’?"
