Chapter 379: The Youth is Innocent, but He is Guilty of Possessing a Treasure
It was indeed a strange thing that the Yuanying Elder suddenly brought back a friend whose cultivation level was only in the Qi Refining Stage.
Even Lu Chenxing, who doesn't gossip, couldn't help raising an eyebrow, but he knew his limits and didn't say anything, but just left.
Shi Li watched him walk away before turning around and whispering to Wuming, "Wait here for me. I'll go in and talk to the sect leader."
If Wuming was willing to take her as his disciple, she could of course take him directly in to see the sect leader.
But the two of them don’t have a master-disciple relationship now, so Wuming can’t be considered a member of Xuanxiao Sect, and it’s not appropriate to bring him directly to the Sect Master.
Wuming had no objection to her arrangement and stood silently by.
Today's sunshine is a little gentle. Falling on the cold hibiscus mask, it makes the boy look inexplicably obedient.
Shi Li couldn't help but take one more look, then walked into the sect master's cave.
Considering her appearance, the Sect Master would not object to letting a new Qi Refining Stage student stay in Xuanxiao Sect for a while.
But when Shi Li walked out of the cave, he was given an errand.
Next month, another secret realm will open not far from Xuanxiao Sect, and anyone with a cultivation level below the Spirit Transformation Stage can enter.
Looking around, the cultivation base of other elders of Xuanxiao Sect are all above the Spirit Transformation Stage, with Shi Li being the only one at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Therefore, the sect leader arranged a job for her to be a "kindergarten teacher".
To be more specific, it means asking her to take the young disciples of Xuanxiao Sect to the secret realm to see the world.
The original words of the sect master were: "I don't ask them to find opportunities in the secret realm, but they can't always stay in the sect, it's good to go out and see the world."
Shi Li really wanted to refuse. It was a bit unreasonable for the sect leader to ask a person who was afraid of trouble to be a kindergarten teacher.
But when she was not in the sect, the sect master took the initiative to take care of the naughty child Shi Jinyan. Now she brought back a man of unknown identity, Wuming, and the sect master accepted him without any objection.
It would seem unkind to refuse to take care of the "child".
Finally, Shi Li gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
"By the way, did you see Lu Chenxing outside just now? Take him with you to the secret realm this time. He is a man of great luck."
Shi Li: ...
Otherwise, just shamelessly refuse!
She didn't really want to have anything to do with the male protagonist. After all, in this world of cultivation, the protagonist usually meant trouble.
If the male protagonist was around, she would probably have to face a lot more things.
Maybe it was because her expression of resistance was too obvious, the Sect Master immediately said, "If you have nothing else to do, you should also take a rest and gather your strength for the next month's secret realm."
Does this mean there is no chance of rejection?
Shi Li sighed helplessly and walked out dejectedly. When she came out, she saw Wuming still standing there quietly as before.
Hearing the voice, he looked up and saw a pair of brown eyes hidden behind the mask as calm and clear as lake water, which instantly calmed Shi Li's somewhat restless heart.
"A secret realm will be opened next month. I'll take you there to see if there's any chance."
Shi Li smiled and said to Wuming happily that he was like two different people compared to when he faced the sect leader just now.
Wuming's reaction was somewhat unsatisfactory.
He seemed to have no idea what the secret realm was and looked at Shi Li in extreme silence.
"Generally, there are many natural treasures in secret realms. If you find the opportunity that belongs to you, it is possible to advance to the Golden Core Stage in an instant."
Shi Li explained patiently.
Wuming moved his lips slowly, and said in a low voice, "Is it really that good?"
"Of course not." Shi Li denied it immediately to avoid the boy from having a wrong understanding. "The secret realm is also very dangerous. Not long ago, a genius died in the secret realm."
The talented person she was talking about was naturally Yuan Xingche.
In fact, before this time travel, Shi Li had also read comics about Yuan Xingche. She was astounded at the time and never expected that the author would draw such a plot later.
She didn't believe a word of what they said about Yuan Xingche harming his fellow disciples.
Whether it was Yuan Xingche in the comics or her intuition, she firmly believed that Yuan Xingche could not be that kind of person.
There is only one possibility, that is, someone deliberately slandered him.
The unexpected encounter with Jun Beiyu and his sword in Xiushui City made Shi Li even more certain of this.
But what's the use?
Yuan Xingche has disappeared, there is no point in lamenting about it.
Shi Li was feeling a little depressed again. She looked at Wuming and forced a smile. "But don't worry, I will protect you once we enter the secret realm."
When she smiled, the bright sunlight fell on her lips, so dazzling that it made people's heart beat faster.
