Chapter 18: Do Not Kill for Now

When He Youzhou said he wanted to go down the mountain, Yulan was shocked.

And when he said he wanted to take her down with him, she was not just shocked, but worried.

It wasn’t that Yulan didn’t want to go down the mountain now, but that she couldn’t.

“Master, I’m probably still wanted by Baicheng, right?” Yulan said.

Previously, due to her bloodthirsty condition, she had repeatedly sucked the blood of people and livestock, and had long been on the wanted list.

Although she hadn’t killed anyone, the constables of Baicheng wouldn’t show mercy because of that.

The martial artists of the Jianghu were probably also eyeing her, hoping to exchange her head for a bounty.

It was even possible that she would lose more than just her head.

Being beautiful wasn’t always a good thing.

“Probably, judging by the reaction of that little girl in white last time, you’d be caught as soon as you appeared.” He Youzhou crossed his arms and tilted his head.

“In that case, I’ll stay at the mountain gate.” Yulan sighed.

“That won’t do, I was thinking of taking you to participate in Baicheng’s rookie competition.” He Youzhou shook his head and said.

“Rookie competition?” Yulan cast a pleading look at Zhishi.

Noticing her junior sister’s look, Zhishi, as the senior sister, decided to step forward and explain, “This is a competition jointly organized by the sects around Baicheng, and the winner can get a lot of spirit stones.”

“Our Tianyan Sect is not short of money now, but considering the clothes for the new junior sisters in the future, we still need to prepare some funds.” Zhishi said softly.

Since that incident last time, Zhishi’s attitude towards Yulan had been very good, and she no longer looked at her with murderous eyes from time to time.

Now, when Zhishi looked at Yulan, it was really like looking at her own younger sister.

It is often said that the capable come first, and Zhishi felt that there were many things outside of cultivation that she could discuss in depth with Yulan.

“Ha… I roughly understand, but I’m only at the initial stage of Qi Refining, isn’t it inappropriate for me to participate in the competition?” Yulan frowned and said, “Besides, with my wanted status, they wouldn’t allow me to participate.”

This “blood-sucking demon girl” probably wouldn’t be able to participate, and even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to win against others.

“No problem, I heard that as long as you get into the top twenty, there’s a consolation prize.” He Youzhou said, “And you don’t need to worry about the wanted issue.”

“As long as you follow Zhishi, if someone wants to catch you, just shout ‘Senior Sister, save me’.” He said, glancing at the quiet Zhishi.

“I will protect my junior sister.” Zhishi nodded and answered solemnly.

“But…” Even after hearing this, Yulan still felt uneasy.

She still wasn’t confident in the foundation of her Tianyan Sect, always feeling that her sect, which was more like a retirement home, was somewhat unreliable.

She knew her senior sister was very strong, but to what extent, she couldn’t say.

Whether it was the martial artists of the Jianghu or the constables, there was no shortage of cultivators among them.

Would her senior sister still be able to hold her ground when facing a large group of cultivators?

“I am very strong,” Chisato said expressionlessly, her words exuding dominance.

“That’s right, your senior sister is at least at the Core Formation stage, more than capable of protecting you,” He Youzhou added.

“May I think about it for a moment?” Youlan lowered her head and said softly.

“Alright, take your time to think about it today,” He Youzhou never forced his disciples, “But staying cooped up on the mountain all day is not a good thing.”

“Even someone like me goes out a few times a month,” he gave an example of himself.

Youlan only responded with a sound, saying nothing else.

She actually didn’t want to stay on this mountain all day either. After all, it was so desolate here. If her master and senior sister went down the mountain, she would probably be bored out of her mind alone.

But going down the mountain was still too dangerous.

However, she quickly noticed that Chisato and He Youzhou’s gazes were not on her, but were staring outside the main hall.

“Someone’s coming, but unfortunately, it’s not a guest,” He Youzhou said, shaking his head helplessly.

Chisato looked coldly towards the entrance of the main hall and quietly walked forward.

“A guest is a guest. Doesn’t your Tianyan Sect intend to entertain guests?” A graceful young man holding a feather fan walked into the main hall, followed by a dozen cultivators of varying strength.

He used the feather fan to cover the sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, his gaze shifting to Youlan’s back.

Hearing the familiar voice, Youlan suddenly turned her head and saw the young man in white robes from her memory.

Almost instantly, anger surged in her heart, and her originally black eyes gradually turned a light purple.

“Casually barging into someone else’s main hall doesn’t count as being a guest,” He Youzhou’s words seemed to have some magical power, restoring Youlan’s unstable state of mind to normal, and the purple in her eyes quickly faded.

“Who are you?” He scrutinized the man in white robes and asked.

“I am Wan Ruicai, a disciple of the Qingshan Sect, ordered to capture this harmful demoness,” Wan Ruicai said with a hypocritical bow and a smile.

“I heard from my junior sister that she couldn’t find the demoness here,” he said, “But now it seems that you deliberately hid the demoness, no wonder she couldn’t find her.”

“A stench of blood, truly foul,” Chisato stood on the platform, looking down at Wan Ruicai, “Did you transfer your curse to my junior sister?”

A flash of murderous intent passed through Wan Ruicai’s eyes. He never expected the people of Tianyan Sect to detect the anomaly on him.

It shouldn’t be. If Youlan had revealed the truth, he should have “felt” it.

Because of the bloodthirsty curse transfer, their souls were somewhat entangled.

“So that’s it, this demoness is a disciple of your Tianyan Sect,” Wan Ruicai avoided Chisato’s words, only grasping the point he cared about, “The demonic sect truly lives up to its name, raising a ferocious demoness.”

“Thinking about it this way, it’s understandable why you would shelter her,” he smiled, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

“If you continue to shelter her, your Tianyan Sect will also suffer.”

“The various sects of White City have only spared you because you’ve been behaving yourselves these past years.”

Wan Ruicai’s voice gradually turned cold as he had already assessed the other party.

The strongest was the girl in red and white clothes, whose strength was similar to his own. The other two could be dealt with by the disciples of the Qingshan Sect behind him.

It was precisely because he knew the other’s strength that he said these words.

“So many people, Zhishi, do you think you can handle it?” He Youzhou asked.

“No pressure.” Zhishi said expressionlessly, “Shall we kill?”

“Wait a minute, I have a question.” He Youzhou waved his hand and asked Wan Ruicai, “Are you one of the hosts of the rookie competition?”

“So what if we are?” Wan Ruicai frowned and retorted.

“Zhishi, don’t kill for now, we’ll talk later.” He Youzhou folded his sleeves together and instructed.
