The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder Chapter 257.2 - Motley Crew

257.2 – Motley Crew

In order to avoid confusion, generally speaking, the name of the sect’s location will be attached to the sect when announcing your sect. But Li Wanting didn’t do this for some reason.

As a result, Xue Qilin took over and answered the shop a.s.sistant, “Yes! We are from Luoyang’s Merak Temple!”

Xue Qilin just finished giving her answer, when Xia Xue threw her a displeased look.

“They’re from the Five Great Sects!”

The shop a.s.sistant’s eyes lit up and, as if seeing rare animals, he looked back and forth between the three. The people at the scene made an uproar and whispered.

“Disciples from the Merak Temple!”

“As I said, since the One Dao Cult and the Beggars’ Union are here, why wouldn’t the Merak Temple join in on the fun?!”

“Awesome! Are all female disciples from the Merak Temple this beautiful?”

“The Spirit Moon Valley has come, as well. But they seem to be staying outdoors outside the town.”

Not content with just talking, some people even surround the three.

“h.e.l.lo, this humble one is the chief disciple of the East Dawn Sect…”

“Nice to meet you, this humble one…”

“This humble one heard that the Merak Temple is a remarkable place conducive to producing great characters…”

Disorderly voices sounded one after another.

These people are really enthusiastic, with all kinds of expressions plastered on their faces as they talk to the three people. Whether it’s their expressions or their tone, they are full of all kinds of desires. Some even openly cast gazes full of delusions at the three.

They spoke more or less the same pleasantries. Among them, some only intend to get close to or get acquainted with the disciples from the n.o.ble Five Great Sects’ Merak Temple. However, there is no shortage of people who wish to have the three people to themselves.

Xue Qilin soon understood the motivation behind their behavior.

Although the three people from the Merak Temple each have their own merits, but they are all first-cla.s.s beauties — Xia Xue’s sweetness, Li Wanting’s valor, and Xue Qilin’s ethereal air have caught the attention of many people. From the moment the three stepped into the inn, a lot of people showed expressions of restlessness.

When they learned that the three are disciples from the Merak Temple, they couldn’t contain themselves.

For them, whether it is to get intimate with the three or just make their acquaintance, it can become something to brag about, to satisfy their vanity. If they could marry the three, they may be able to have a meteoric rise. Through this relationship, they could become disciples of the Merak Temple themselves.

However, they’re too blatant! No different from rogues!

Several gazes with intense possessiveness p.r.i.c.kled Xue Qilin all over her body and made her uncomfortable, and she frowned. She also found that a sorry-looking bystander is peeping at her exposed skin.

“Boo… Qilin, Qilin, I don’t like their gazes!”

Phecda, who has been obeying Xue Qilin’s order not to speak while in the black cat form, couldn’t help but open her mouth.

It seems that she can also feel those off-putting gazes.

Xue Qilin nodded sympathetically.

She once heard that some small sects are actually no different from evil gangs that do things that cannot see the light of day. Now it seems that what Qi Qiqi said is true — although she didn’t doubt it at the time, but she hasn’t been able to personally feel it until now.

So that’s the reason why Little Xue just said that Little Ting did more than what is required?

Xue Qilin shifted her gaze toward Li Wanting. As a result, Li Wanting also happened to look at her, and their eyes met.

It seems we’re in trouble! This thought is strongly embedded in each other’s gazes.

Noticing their reaction, Xia Xue couldn’t help but slightly part her lips and release a sigh.

“If there are no rooms, then we’ll take our leave.”

“Oh, okay…”

The shop a.s.sistant replied somewhat regretfully.

He seems to be reluctant, like wishes to exchange a few more words with the three. However, Xia Xue didn’t give him a chance.

“Excuse me.”

Xia Xue clasped her hands politely, and then turned around.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Meanwhile, she looked at Xue Qilin and Li Wanting respectively and urged them to leave with her gaze.

“Please get out of the way!”

After retracting her gaze, Xia Xue said so in a neutral tone to the people in front of her.

“Ladies, are you leaving? This n.o.ble son would like to invite the three ladies to dinner.”

A young martial pract.i.tioner dressed as a scholar, with an air of debauchery about him, blocked in front of the three. Consequently, his words have just fallen, when a rough man retorted.

“Come on, can your little friend bear it?”

The people present burst out laughing one after another when they heard these words of sarcasm.

In addition to a small number of male martial pract.i.tioners who disdain to be a.s.sociated with such coa.r.s.e people, the female martial pract.i.tioners who understand the meaning of his words showed their disgust in various ways.

“I said, please get out of the way! Is there something wrong with your ears?”

Xia Xue smiled sweetly. Her eyes bent into crescent arcs, yet there is not a trace of a smile on her face. At the same time, her Earth Realm breath surged out and instantly filled the whole hall.

She is threatening them.

As if cicadas who were making noise one moment, but then suddenly stopped the next moment, they held their breath at the same time, leaving only the cold air to fill the s.p.a.ce.

“– an Earth Realm senior!”

After a while, some martial pract.i.tioner cried out in alarm, and then the crowd around the three stepped back at once. Some ordinary people followed suit in confusion. Frightened, they couldn’t help giving way one after another.

The martial pract.i.tioners in the hall have Human Realm cultivation base at the highest. No wonder they are awed by Xia Xue’s breath. One thing to note is that although this method of relying on breath as means of intimidation is extremely convenient, but it can easily be seen as provocation and may alarm their elders or some unrelated yet busybody experts.

In view of this, the three hurriedly left the inn.

They were soon out of sight.

＊

After leaving the inn, Xue Qilin and company heeded the shop a.s.sistant’s suggestions. First they went to the tailor shop on the neighboring street and bought tents and some simple bedding from the shopkeeper surnamed Huang.

Then they went to look for a suitable place to sleep outdoors outside the town. In the end, they found a clearing near a forest east of the town.

This clearing is clearly being taken care of, since it isn’t covered in weeds. And there is a brook located at its edge. The environment here is quite good. For this reason, there are many first-time visitors and tents erected here.

That said, there is still room for three more people here.

After they discussed it, Xia Xue finally gave the verdict and decided to camp here.
