nEvidently, Shen Ying’s bullying of the little boy had not caught the attention of the three men still engaged in business discussions.

nLonemoon felt that he had just about fulfilled his quota of bull**ting… hyperbole… and idle chit chat. Having just received the bill for their boarding expenses which was several times more than budgeted, he decided to cut to the chase.

n“Exalted Immortal, City Lord Bao, since the Immortal Monarch is dealing with the matter of the Demon Realm’s gate, what do the two of you plan to do next?” Lonemoon did not believe that the mighty City Lord of Qu Shuang City had come all the way here for free lodging— that he had no other residence apart from the one at Qu Shuang City.

nTo be honest, Lonemoon did not want further entanglements with the Bao Family because of the male lead character Ning Zi’an. The incident of the Demon Realm gate was an exception as it involved the entire Immortal Realm.

n“His Majesty has gifted our Bao Family with Jing Xing City as a reward for discovering the gate to the Demon Realm,” replied Bao Feiping, glancing at Yi Qing, who had just come out of the kitchen before continuing, “Although Jing Xing City cannot be compared to Qu Shuang City, which is situated atop an immortal meridian, it is located in the mainland, close to Shang Du City. Father and I feel that … we came to know of this matter of the Demon Realm’s gate because of the three of you; we can claim no credit. If you don’t mind, we would like to invite your sect to stay with us at Jing Xing Immortal City.”

nLonemoon was surprised at Bao Feiping’s invitation. He had not expected the Bao family to be so generous. True, the Demon Realm’s gate was discovered by them, but Qu Shuang City belonged to the Bao Family, now that it is closed off, it was only natural that the Immortal Emperor had bestowed him a city in return. Even if Bao Feiping had not brought up the part they had played in the matter, no one could fault them. He never expected that they would share their new immortal residence with them.

nLonemoon was just about to enquire further when he happened to see Yi Qing, who was standing behind Shen Ying. And in an instant, he understood their intentions.

nIt looked as if they had not given up! It was not so bad when Yi Qing was an Earth Immortal, but now that he is a Stygian Immortal, his value had gone up considerably in their eyes. Stygian Sword Cultivators were rare in the whole Immortal Realm, not to speak of one who had an Innate Sword Embodiment as well.

nIf Lonemoon and his sect members really did move to Jing Xing City, they would bump into each other frequently. So it stood to reason that Yi Qing, as a Sword Immortal, would occasionally give pointers to his junior, Little An, regardless whether he was a disciple or not.

nThese two immortals were really putting themselves out for the little boy’s schooling. They even provided free school accommodation just to attract a good teacher.

n“Thanks for your kind offer.” Lonemoon immediately rejected their offer. “Although we do not have many disciples, we are used to living here and have no intention to move.” You must be joking. No matter what the benefits, it would not be enough to compensate us for the future trouble that the male lead would cause.

n“Brother Lonemoon, don’t be hasty with your decision. Please take your time to think over it.” Sensing that his plan was heading south, an anxious Bao Feiping had no choice but to turn his sights on the other two cultivators. “Why don’t we ask Fellow Immortal Yi Qing and … this Lady Immortal’s opinion?” He recalled that this lady was the sect master. Although he had long since figured out that the main decision maker in this sect was Lonemoon, but for the sake of his son, he had to involve these two in the matter. “Jing Xing City’s Immortal Qi is much denser than this place, it will be more beneficial to your sect’s disciples.”

n“We’re not going!”

n“Huh! Huh?” Bao Feiping was taken aback by her abrupt reply. He had thought that they would at least think the matter over. Why did she reject him outright?

n“We’re not moving!” said Shen Ying, shaking her head. Moving house was so troublesome.

n“Master is right!” Yi Qing agreed immediately.

nBao Feiping: “…”

n“Thank you for your kind offer, City Lord Bao. But all our sect disciples are low-level Earth Immortals, the Immortal Qi here is sufficient for them,” said Lonemoon. The main idea was not to tangle with the male lead.

n“So be it!” Realizing that further persuasion was useless, Bao Feiping dropped the idea of getting them to move. Suddenly struck by a thought, he changed the topic and asked,”Seeing as your sect has two sword immortals, I’m sure your disciples are exceptional as well? Since we are here, could you let us have a preview of their skills?” Maybe after that they could interact with these sect disciples. Little An could then remain with them under the guise of seeking their guidance. This would serve their purpose just as well.

n“City Lord is mistaken, they are not…” Lonemoon paused mid-way through his sentence as he suddenly thought of a good idea to get Bao Feiping to give up on his plan to enroll his son in their sect. Rewording his sentence, he said, “They are not all Sword Immortals. However, they are indeed skilled. Very skilled!”

n“Oh, then…” Bao Feiping eyes brightened.

nNodding his head, Lonemoon turned to the person beside him and instructed, “Yu Hong, tell Si Yu to report here.”

n“Yes! Yu Hong turned and left. Moments later, she brought in a delicate-looking immortal. Clad in green robes, this female immortal bowed to Bao Feiping and his father timidly. She seemed a little afraid of strangers, subconsciously hiding behind her sect members.

n“She’s our sect’s most… outstanding disciple.” Giving a little cough, Lonemoon signaled for Si Yu to stand in front of a mountain face. Then, in a grave tone he instructed, “Si Yu, Exalted Immortal Bao and the City Lord would like to see your skills. Can you give them a short demonstration.”

nSo all eyes centered on Si Yu, especially the Bao father and son, who were curious about whether such a frail-looking immortal could be a Sword Immortal. Moreover, she was supposed to be the most outstanding disciple. Invisible Sect was really full of hidden talents.

nUsually shy in front of strangers, Si Yu grew even more flustered. Subconsciously she took a step back.

n“Elder Lonemoon, you mean… here?”

n“Yes, do what you can.”

n“But… I don’t think this is a good idea.” She looked towards the two immortals.Was it safe with a kid here?

n“Don’t worry. Just show them what you can do,” said Lonemoon, adding an afterthought, “I’ll pay for any damage caused.”

nSi Yu was still a little hesitant.

nIntrigued, the Bao father and son duo encouraged, “Lady Immortal, don’t be afraid. We just want to see the expertise of your sect.”

n“That’s right. Just do what you always do when you are practicing. Just be your natural self.”

n“I’m…” Si Yu was still a little tense.

nUntil Shen Ying also chipped in with her two-cents, “Little green sister, you can do it!”

nWith these words, the previously timid Si Yu suddenly raised her head, a look of fearless determination on her face. Nodding her head vigorously, she answered, “Yes! Sect Master!”

nThen her Immortal Qi suddenly surged and her whole manner underwent a transformation. No… her entire body underwent a transformation! Muscles started to bulge out from her body. All at once, her height spurted up and her body increased several times in size.

nLetting out a loud grunt, she shot out her fist. The rock-hard mountain face shattered and crumbled, covering the ground with a layer of gravel and raising a cloud of dust that settled on their faces.

nBao Feiping: “…”

nBao Yi: “…”

nWhat the hell… This is clearly not a Sword Immortal!

n“Okay, Si Yu. Continue training your junior sisters at the training yard!” said Lonemoon as he motioned for Si Yu to leave. Then with a calm expression on his face, he conjured a hand seal to clear the entire area of debris.

n“Yes, Elder Lonemoon!” Si Yu cupped her fists in a salute before shrinking back into her previous delicate self. It was as if the muscles had never appeared.

n“Brother Lone.. moon” Bao Feiping still had a dumbstruck look on his face. “The person just… just now, is she a body cultivator?” A real live one?! And one who became an immortal?

nThere had never been body cultivators who ascended to the Immortal Realm. The only ones who had were demon immortals! What were body immortals who had turned immortals called? Body Immortals?

n“Yes!” Lonemoon nodded his head and said with a chuckle, “Didn’t I tell you before? Yi Qing and I have no experience in training disciples. Somehow, they turned out like this as their training progressed. So the entire sect, except for Yi Qing and me, are all body cultivators.”

nThe two Baos:”…”

nCan we take back what we said earlier?
