Chapter 155: Isn’t That Convenient?

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

The “One-Day Sect Master Experience in Dao Seeking Sect” exchange coupon, the most expensive exchange reward on the list, has not yet been affordable for any disciple to date.

Five senior brothers tried to pool resources to exchange for it, and even got into a fight over who would be the sect leader, resulting in injuries and a stay in Pellet Cauldron Peak. After recovering, they felt too embarrassed by the incident and went on long-term missions outside, not having returned to this day.

Of course, a disciple like Dai Bufan could definitely afford it, but due to his special identity, managing the mission hall on behalf of the Grand Elder, he could not make the exchange.

“Immortal, wouldn’t you consider choosing another reward?” Lu Yang kindly advised.

Everlasting Fairy raised her eyebrows: “What, he Daoist Non-Speaker can be the sect leader, but I cannot?”

“Let me tell you, in ancient times, I was revered by countless tribes as a deity. What’s so difficult about managing a mere Dao Seeking Sect?”

“No, what I mean is that it’s Eldest Senior Sister who currently manages the Dao Seeking Sect. If you want to be the sect leader for three days, you need Eldest Senior Sister’s approval.”

“Can we back out now? I mean, what does it matter, could I possibly be afraid of a little girl?” Everlasting Fairy instinctively chickened out for a moment, but the dignity of an immortal gave her confidence and bravado.

Everlasting Fairy, controlling Lu Yang’s body, turned around and headed back to Heaven’s Gate Peak.

After arriving at Heaven’s Gate Peak, Lu Yang kindly reminded, “Eldest Senior Sister is in another direction; this is the way back to my cave dwelling.”

Everlasting Fairy frowned: “And you call yourself her junior brother, not considering her at all. That young lady works hard every day, and now it’s so late, how can we disturb her? We’ll talk tomorrow!”

Lu Yang thought to himself that Eldest Senior Sister transcends the Three Realms and is not constrained by the five elements; what concept of day and night could she have?

…

“Little… ahem, Eldest Senior Sister, I wish to be the sect leader for three days, please approve.” Everlasting Fairy submitted the application she had written overnight.

Yun Zhi was dealing with sect affairs, emanating a ‘keep out’ aura. She glanced at Lu Yang, immediately realizing that Everlasting Fairy was temporarily using Lu Yang’s body.

She spoke in an even tone, “As a predecessor, one of the ancient five immortals, your status is the highest in the cultivation world. It’s not appropriate to call me Eldest Senior Sister; just call me Yun Zhi.”

Everlasting Fairy carefully observed, making sure Yun Zhi wasn’t speaking out of irritation, before saying, “Yun Zhi, I wish to be the sect leader for three days. I spent all my contribution points to exchange for this coupon. Our Dao Seeking Sect is based on integrity, so we can’t just go back on our…”

“It’s allowed,” Yun Zhi interrupted Everlasting Fairy.

“Really allowed?” Originally, Everlasting Fairy was ready to corner Yun Zhi with rules, but it turned out there was no need.

“Really. The rules are as such, and I naturally must adhere to them. Otherwise, how can I command respect? Which days do you want to be sect leader?”

“Let’s start from tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Yun Zhi’s tone remained as flat as ever, but Lu Yang noticed, Eldest Senior Sister’s mouth curved into a slight smile!

There’s a catch!

Yun Zhi handed the affairs she was dealing with to Everlasting Fairy: “Then the matter of hosting the Five Elements Sect will be troubling the predecessor.”

The Five Elements Sect, one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

“Five, Five Elements Sect?”

Everlasting Fairy looked down at the paper Yun Zhi gave her, which was an invitation from the Five Elements Sect stating they would visit the Dao Seeking Sect in three days for personnel exchange, followed by a list of visiting members.

Another paper was the hosting plan Yun Zhi was writing, with just a title written on it.

Lu Yang had heard that there was a tradition of mutual visits among the Five Great Immortal Sects. Though termed visits, they were essentially competitions among disciples to see who could outperform the others. The rewards were secondary; the main concern was the loss of face for the losers.

Yun Zhi rescued Lu Yang from Daoist Non-Speaker’s clutches partly for this reason, allowing Lu Yang, as a promising new talent, to compete with outstanding disciples from the Five Elements Sect and gain some exposure.

Yellow Bean was somewhat taken aback. She had thought it would be nice to play the role of the sect leader for three days, as the Dao Seeking Sect usually had no major events. She had not anticipated the visit of a brotherly sect.

Yellow Bean considered backing out. She had never organized such a large event; in ancient times, the most she did was gather the other four immortals for some merrymaking.

But immortals have their dignity, and their word must be kept!

Being a sect leader, how hard could it be?

“If something goes wrong, it’s Lu Yang who will be embarrassed!”

“Hey, hey, hey, Immortal, you’re saying your inner thoughts out loud!” Lu Yang exclaimed angrily.

Then, Lu Yang thought of another issue: “Eldest Senior Sister, the Immortal’s existence must remain a secret. How do we explain my becoming the sect leader? Where did I get so many contribution points?”

“Why wouldn’t you have them? You found our missing master of ten years, a great merit.”

Yun Zhi spoke in her usual tone, leaving Lu Yang unsure if Eldest Senior Sister was being sincere or sarcastic.

In any case, Everlasting Fairy truly became the acting sect leader, starting from tomorrow, for a period of three days, coinciding with the visit from the Five Elements Sect on the third day.

Everlasting Fairy returned the body to Lu Yang, who felt a warmth around his waist.

What’s happening?

It was the Helmsman token. The token blinked three times, indicating that the contact person, Tang Yunsheng, was looking for him.

The meeting place had already been set when they infiltrated the Dao Seeking Sect.

“Ah, can I meet my followers now?” Everlasting Fairy said happily.

Lu Yang informed Eldest Senior Sister, who responded simply, “Go meet him. I’ll be watching in secret.”

Lu Yang felt reassured.

At the entrance of the Dao Seeking Sect, he met Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone. It seems Tang Yunsheng called all three of them.

“Should we go straight there?” Meng Jingzhou asked, wanting to know what Lu Yang intended.

Lu Yang clasped his hands and lifted them above his head, shaking them, “Eldest Senior Sister is nearby.”

“Then there’s no problem.”

The Dao Seeking Sect was surrounded by many towns and villages, and Tang Yunsheng chose a small town for the meeting place.

Tang Yunsheng, dressed in a black robe, seemed mysterious but was very conspicuous in the town, as if afraid others wouldn’t notice he was trying to hide his identity.

Several passersby considered reporting him to the Dao Seeking Sect, too suspicious.

Tang Yunsheng looked satisfied seeing the three of them: “Your names are on the Dao Seeking Sect’s recruitment list, saying you three opened a barbecue shop in the Dao Seeking Sect. You’ve finally infiltrated the Dao Seeking Sect, well done!”

No need to ask, this was a fake list arranged by Dai Bufan.

“At last, my Undying Sect has its spies within the Dao Seeking Sect!” Tang Yunsheng was very moved, as if achieving a lifelong goal.

“The Sect Leader never expected things to go so smoothly!”

Tang Yunsheng changed the topic, sighing, “Unfortunately, the situation isn’t good for the other three immortal gates.”

“What’s wrong with the other three immortal gates?” Lu Yang asked as the Undying Sect’s Sect Leader.

“For some reason, those three gates have become sharp, capturing all our Undying Sect spies cleanly, even using the name of Everlasting Celestial, quite malicious and difficult to guard against! The other three demonic sects didn’t fare any better, losing many spies as well.”

“What should we do?” Lu Yang was somewhat anxious, feeling responsible as the sect leader for so many of his people being captured.

“No matter, we must look forward. A temporary failure means nothing.”

Tang Yunsheng was invigorated, “The last message from our spy in the Five Elements Sect said they would visit the Dao Seeking Sect in three days. This is an opportunity for us!”

“The Sect Leader senses that Everlasting Celestial is awakening. Our Undying Sect’s rise is just around the corner. We can use this exchange meeting to cause trouble, letting the Five Great Immortal Sects know, the Undying Sect is not to be trifled with!”

“With you three as insiders, this plan is sure to succeed!”

Lu Yang and the others nodded.

In the spiritual space, Everlasting Fairy nodded.

In the shadows, Eldest Senior Sister also nodded.
