Chapter 2833: A Special Guest
In Murong Bing’s mind appeared the image of a man, wearing purple, handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding an extraordinary aura.
It was Wyatt Barnes.
"I wonder ... if he will be expecting me to come."
Thinking of this, Murong Bing sighed inwardly.
The reason why she was interested in this ’Pill Tao Conference’ was not just because her friend, Annie Campbell of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, would be attending.
More importantly, it was because the man she dreamt of might also attend.
This man is currently the chief alchemy expert of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect, one of the core sects in the Desolate Territory, recognized by even the three top-grade alchemy experts of the sect.
When she learned of this, she was shocked for quite some time.
She had thought that in this lifetime, she might have no further interaction with him...
She could only ask her friend Annie Campbell, if possible, to look after him a little and thus resolve the tangled affair between them.
But she never expected that the man would grow so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, he had left that remote place, not only entering the heart of the Desolate Territory but also becoming the chief alchemy expert of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect, one of the three major sects.
"I will find you... The woman who was with me, can only belong to me!"
Initially, she didn’t really leave but hid to one side, quietly observing his reaction after her departure.
Coincidentally, she overheard the man say this.
At that time, she felt he was overbearing, but didn’t take his words to heart.
However, after returning to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, she couldn’t help but think of the man countless times and recall what he said...
When she found out that her uncle had sent someone to kill the man, she couldn’t stop worrying and quickly asked Annie Campbell, who was then at the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, to look after him as much as possible after returning to the Desolate Territory.
"Perhaps... you have already forgotten me."
Murong Bing sighed softly in her heart.
Because she heard Annie Campbell say that there is now a flawless woman by his side, with whom he has a deep relationship. Annie even investigated and found that he often trained in the same room with her.
Moreover, their training sessions sometimes lasted for several months.
She couldn’t believe that they were innocent.
"After two more streets ahead, we’ll arrive."
Facing Murong Bing’s inquiry, the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect replied promptly.
The Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, being a top sect in the Southeast Six Regions, naturally had a large residence in the Desolate Domain, similar to the residence of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect people, with a vast area.
After settling down, the group from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect returned to their respective quarters.
Only the green-clad girl and Murong Bing, who was waiting for the group to leave, remained at the dwelling chosen by the Sect Leader.
"Uncle, why don’t you take us to visit the place where the Tai Yi Immortal Sect people are staying?"
The green-clad girl, Alisson, looked eagerly at the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and said expectantly.
"What? Do you want to see if the woman from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect is more beautiful than your third senior sister?"
The Sect Leader asked, shaking his head.
"Yes."
Alisson did not deny it, nodding directly and said, "I just want to see how beautiful that woman is ... even Sister Annie said she is more beautiful than my third senior sister."
"Sister Annie, after all, is my third senior sister’s best friend; she has no reason not to help her and instead help outsiders."
Along the way here, the green-clad girl thought about this for a long time, but ultimately believed that Annie Campbell would not possibly side with outsiders over her own sisters from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect.
However, Annie Campbell still claimed that the woman was more beautiful than her third senior sister.
This only made her even more curious about seeing the woman for herself, as she was truly intrigued by what she looked like.
"Ice, do you want to go have a look too?"
Upon hearing Alisson’s words, the Sect Leader did not pay her any mind but instead looked first at Murong Bing and asked.
"Uncle, I don’t want to go."
Murong Bing shook her head.
Since the woman is here, the man is likely here too.
If she went to see him now, she would surely run into the man, and what would he think of her showing up uninvited?
Makes herself cheap in the eyes of the man, Murong Bing could not bring herself to do it.
As the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect was inquiring Murong Bing, Alisson expectantly looked at Murong Bing.
Because she knew, since the Sect Leader asked her third senior sister, and if her third senior sister expressed a desire to go, then the Sect Leader would surely take them there...
But now, hearing Murong Bing saying ’I don’t want to go,’ she couldn’t hold back her anxiety, "Third sister, aren’t you even a bit curious about how the woman from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect looks? I don’t believe ... I don’t believe you are not curious at all."
"I’m not curious."
Murong Bing shook her head and then said irritably to Alisson, "Alisson, do you want to go back to rest with your third senior sister? If you don’t, your third senior sister will go back alone."
Having said that, Murong Bing bid farewell to the Sect Leader and turned to head outside.
"Third sister, wait for me! I’m going back with you!"
Seeing Milana Harrington turn around to leave without calling her, the childlike Alisson panicked. She didn’t even greet the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect before turning around to chase after her.
She was in such a hurry it was as if she was rushing to be reborn.
"Milana... seems a bit off."
After Milana Harrington and Alisson had both left, the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect slightly furrowed her brows, feeling that something was off with Milana Harrington.
"Earlier, when Milana refused, she was unusually decisive and firm... almost as if she really didn’t want to meet the woman from the Taiyi Immortal Sect. It was quite unusual."
The Sect Leader’s observational skills were remarkable, as she sensed something unusual about Milana Harrington just from her earlier reaction.
However, she couldn’t have dreamed that:
The reason Milana Harrington was acting unusual was entirely because of the chief alchemist from the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
And that chief alchemist was the very man she had previously sent people to assassinate, but he had used the ’Void Escape Talisman’ to get away.
And the reason for the assassination attempt was that the man had compromised her niece’s honor.
And her niece was none other than ’Milana Harrington’!
On the other side.
Milana Harrington and Alisson moved into a large courtyard that actually had two rooms, so the two of them occupied one each.
After Milana went into her room, Alisson also entered her own room.
"Third Senior Sister is really too much, why can’t she just accompany me to have a look... she actually told the Sect Leader Uncle she didn’t want to go."
Sitting on the only bed in the room, Alisson placed her hands on her cheeks, pouting and muttering unhappily to herself.
Her words clearly expressed dissatisfaction with Milana Harrington’s outright refusal to the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, as it dashed her plans to visit the residence of those from Taiyi Immortal Sect.
"Hmph! If the Sect Leader Uncle doesn’t want to take me, and Third Senior Sister doesn’t want to accompany me... then I’ll just go by myself!"
"I, Alisson, am at least the final disciple of the second Protector of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, and I also have a Great Uncle Master who is a top-tier powerhouse in the Southeast Six Territories, existing at the ’Ten Directions Immortal Sovereign’ level... surely people from the Taiyi Immortal Sect wouldn’t dare refuse me entrance!"
After sitting on the bed for a while, Alisson stood up, her eyes glittering with determination, and she directly left the room.
...
The residence where the people from Taiyi Immortal Sect were staying.
"Alchemist Barnes!"
Wyatt Barnes had just finished refining a batch of top-grade Immortal Pills, the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, when he heard a voice from outside. He immediately packed up the Rowan Heaven Pill and walked out of the room.
Outside the courtyard, Hunter Swayer was standing there, with a somewhat urgent expression on his face.
"Alchemist Swayer, is there something you need from me?"
Wyatt Barnes stepped out of the courtyard, looking at Hunter Swayer with a puzzled expression, noting Swayer’s urgency.
"Alchemist Barnes, you’re finally out... I’ve been waiting for half a day."
Seeing Wyatt Barnes come out, Hunter Swayer breathed a sigh of relief, his urgent expression relaxing somewhat.
"Did something happen?"
Wyatt Barnes asked with curiosity.
"It’s not that something happened, but half a day ago, a special guest arrived uninvited, specifically requesting to see Miss Leilany... of course, although she has an unusual status, we couldn’t just bring her directly, so the Elder Ancestor asked me to come and ask your opinion."
Hunter Swayer explained.
"Who specifically requested to see Leilany?"
Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow.
"The guest claimed to be the final disciple of Phoenix King, the second Protector of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, and said that the Ten Directions Immortal Sovereign of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect is her Great Uncle Master... as for why she wanted to see Miss Leilany, apparently she heard that Miss Leilany’s beauty is unparalleled in the world and wanted to see it for herself."
Hunter Swayer continued.
However, as Hunter Swayer spoke, Wyatt Barnes only really heard the part at the beginning.
"Alchemist Swayer... you said she claims to be the final disciple of Phoenix King, the second Protector of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect? Are you sure?"
Wyatt Barnes’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light as he asked Hunter Swayer directly.
"Yes, that’s what she said."
Hunter Swayer nodded.
"Take me to see her!"
Wyatt Barnes stated directly.
"Alchemist Barnes, she wants to see Miss Leilany..."
Hunter Swayer gave a bitter smile.
"No matter why she wants to see Leilany, she’ll have to pass through me first."
Wyatt Barnes said calmly.
Although his tone was calm, deep in Wyatt Barnes’s gaze, a brilliantly shining light flickered.
If he remembered correctly...
Milana Harrington is also the personal disciple of Phoenix King, the second Protector of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!
