Chapter 297 Bring Your Own Band When You Appear On Stage
Chapter 297: Bringing a Band to the Stage
Zhang Chi never expected that his casual remark about taking down the Saintess of White Tiger Sect would turn out to be true. It was an unintentional offense.
Seeing this, Gu Youyou immediately switched to mocking mode.
"Look, isn't this a stroke of luck for you? White Tiger Sect really has a Saintess, and you have a chance to get close to her. It's time to show off your skills in seducing women."
Zhang Chi: "..."
He didn't want to show off his charm, especially since the Saintess of White Tiger Sect was Long Yan's friend. He wouldn't betray his loyalty.
But could he tolerate Gu Youyou's mockery?
"Saintess Youyou, you're joking. I don't have any skills, only sincerity. If I had any skills, I would use them on you first."
"Hmph, with your abilities?"
While Zhang Chi and Gu Youyou were bickering in their minds, Long Yan began to talk about the Saintess of White Tiger Sect and her experiences with her.
The force closest to Dragon Transformation Palace was actually White Tiger Sect. Long Yan had traveled outside in her early years, and because Long Yi was worried about her going too far, they wandered around the nearby mountains. They happened to encounter the Saintess of White Tiger Sect, Jin Ling, who was also on an adventure outside.
They had a conflict due to some misunderstandings, a classic scenario of not getting along at first. One was a Dragon Transformation practitioner, the other transformed into a tiger. They fought fiercely, evenly matched.
The more they fought, the more they appreciated each other's skills. After the misunderstandings were cleared up, they naturally became good friends.
They traveled together afterwards, exploring the rivers and lakes, and their bond grew deeper. They gradually became like sisters.
Afterwards, they each returned to their own homes, occasionally exchanging letters. They hadn't forgotten their friendship.
Now that they were going to Jin Ding Mountain, Long Yan was excited at the thought of seeing her old sister again. The worries of leaving home and seeking refuge had dissipated somewhat.
Before long, the fairy boat carrying ten people arrived at Jin Ding Mountain Range.
Jin Ding Mountain Range was a mountain range that slanted from southwest to northeast. It stretched for tens of thousands of miles, with countless small and large peaks in between.
Between the peaks, there were numerous sects, similar to the overall structure of the Dragon River Alliance, except one was by the river and the other was on the mountain. One revered Dragon Transformation Palace, the other revered White Tiger Sect.
White Tiger Sect was located in the middle section of Jin Ding Mountain Range, but the fairy boat could only land in the southwest section.
The reason was simple: foreign fairy boats couldn't enter the airspace of other forces at will, or they would be attacked.
They had to stop here and report their destination before they could receive a flag representing the force affiliated with White Tiger Sect. They had to stop and receive a flag from the local force at each checkpoint along the way, just like the journey to the West.
This rule was reasonable, in order to maintain the safety within the territory. Only bandits and Demonic Cultivators couldn't obtain the flags, preventing them from flying around freely. It also helped maintain local security and stability.
Following local customs, when the fairy boat reached the boundary, Jin Bian controlled the boat to descend slowly.
Just as they landed, the ground in front of them suddenly trembled. Everyone heard a rumbling sound and looked ahead, only to see two columns of soldiers in white armor, armed with spears, marching towards them from within the dust and smoke.
"Prepare for battle."
Jin Bian reminded them in a low voice, while also preparing for battle.
In theory, there shouldn't be a need for battle, but if the Crown Prince of the Eastern Imperial Palace could be killed, he had to be cautious. His main task on this trip was to protect Long Yan.
Before long, the two columns of soldiers arrived fifty meters away from the landing spot of the fairy boat.
They didn't attack the people on the fairy boat, but quickly formed their formations.
Then, the dense drum beats started, mixed with the sound of chimes, and finally, the suona horn sounded, and a flawless white tiger slowly walked out.
Sitting on the tiger's back was a petite figure, a girl who looked even younger than Zi Mian, but her face was filled with dignity. Her bright eyes were deep and full of wisdom.
Seeing the girl appear, Long Yan immediately smiled and joyfully said, "This is Ling'er, she should be here to pick us up."
Zhang Chi: "......"
This girl who comes with her own band is the Saintess?
Zhang Chi silently criticized in his heart, while Long Yan had already stepped onto the fairy boat.
"Ling'er, Xiao Bai."
It was clear that she had a deep affection for Jin Ling'er. If she wasn't leading the team, she probably would have wanted to rush over and hug her.
It's normal to be excited when reuniting with a long-lost friend.
Jin Ling'er, who was sitting on the tiger's back, remained calm and expressionless. She spoke, "It's been many years, and you have matured a lot."
As soon as she spoke, her voice instantly overwhelmed the band's performance and had a natural echo.
A girl so petite, speaking like a lion's roar, with a Buddha-like sound effect. Zhang Chi didn't know where to start with his criticism.
Long Yan was a little shy, and she loudly said, "Are you here to pick us up?"
Zhang Chi even felt that she used True Qi to speak. Jin Ling'er also responded, "I received a letter yesterday and knew that you were coming, so I waited here. With me here, you can proceed unimpeded."
Their conversation could probably be heard by mortals several miles away.
Unbelievable.
After understanding Jin Ling'er's purpose, Long Yan invited her and her White Tiger onto the boat. After the subordinates had raised the flag on the bow of the ship, she ordered them to leave, leaving only herself and the ship.
She naturally held Long Yan's hand after getting off the White Tiger.
It was evident that although her expression was indifferent, she had a good relationship with Long Yan.
Otherwise, as the esteemed Saintess, there would be no need for her to come and greet them personally.
At this moment, Long Yan also transmitted her voice to Zhang Chi to explain, "Ling'er is actually very kind-hearted, but her cultivation requires her to maintain her dignity at all times. When you speak to her, you need to speak louder because her hearing is not very good."
Zhang Chi: "......"
A classic cold-hearted but warm-hearted character setting, but Zhang Chi didn't expect her to also have hearing problems.
Their combination of a dragon and a tiger, one deaf and one tiger, was truly a perfect match.
After Jin Ling'er boarded the fairy boat, the boat took off once again.
With Jin Ling'er's presence, they would save a lot of time this time.
While wearing the robe, Long Yan held Jin Ling'er's hand and introduced her to the members of the communication group one by one.
Jin Ling'er's expression had always been very serious, making others take her seriously as well.
After all, she was the Saintess of the White Tiger Sect, and her status was respected here.
After Long Yan introduced everyone, she finally came to Zhang Chi's side and said somewhat shyly, "This is Zhang Chi, my Dao companion."
Long Yan didn't speak loudly, so Jin Ling'er was momentarily confused.
Only then did the White Tiger, who had been following her all along, let out a roar, and Jin Ling'er's gaze towards Zhang Chi suddenly became sharp...
PS: I went to get vaccinated today, and my hand has been hurting all afternoon. I'm only starting to work now.
