Chapter 835

As they got closer to Lihuo Hall, the mountain path changed from green stone to solid wooden planks. Behind them was a corridor built along the mountain.

The corridor was engraved with exquisite drawings. Not only were there flowers, birds, fish, and insects, there were also many people's stories. Most of them were engraved with unknown patterns. These patterns did not seem to have any pattern at first glance, like graffiti. However, if one looked closely, there was a pattern within it. But if one paid attention, they would not be able to see anything!

Zhang Xiaohua walked along the corridor and used her divine sense to scan it. The patterns on the corridor were similar to the ones on the stone tablet, but there was a slight difference. It seemed to be a restriction, but there was no fluctuation of Yuan Qi. It was probably used in the early days of the Immortal Dao. Now, it was abandoned and could only be used as a corridor!

As they walked along the corridor, they met many disciples. There were both male and female disciples. They were all staring curiously at Zhang Xiaohua and the four odd beasts, causing Zhang Pinger's face to turn red. The disciples were all polite and did not ask much. Even if Zhang Pinger wanted to explain, she could not find an excuse. She was abnormally embarrassed.

"Ai, why do you have to do this?"

Zhang Xiaohua could see clearly from behind. Although she was also a little uncomfortable, she was able to deal with it on the surface. She could only sigh in her heart.

After walking for a while, Zhang Pinger suddenly thought of something. She turned back and said, "Senior, I know that your martial arts are strong, but … but in Lingering Fragrance Peak, martial arts are nothing. No matter how strong our Lihuo Hall disciples are, they may not be able to compete with the disciples of Mo Xuan Gong, so …"

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said, "So what?"

Zhang Pinger smiled bitterly and said, "So, if there is nothing that I cannot control, I hope that senior will be merciful. After all, this is Lingering Fragrance Peak. The rules must be carefully followed."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua remembered the first, second, and third rules of the Fragrant Religion. He smiled and said, "Of course, this Senior Brother has always been one who doesn't offend others if they don't offend me. As long as I don't bully others like your Third Senior Sister today, I'll just give in."

Zhang Pinger was overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, a bell-like laughter came from the side corridor. "Junior Sister, you're finally back. Hehe, can you catch your lovely person?"

Following the laughter, a light green figure flew over from the side. When it landed on the ground, Zhang Xiaohua saw that it was a female disciple about the same age as Zhang Pinger. She also had delicate features.

"Sixth Senior Sister …" Zhang Pinger was greatly embarrassed. She pulled the woman's sleeve and said, "What are you talking about!"

Her words were similar to what she said to the Third Senior Sister, but her tone was much more intimate. There wasn't much reproach, but more of shyness.

The Sixth Senior Sister didn't reply. Her two big eyes sized up Zhang Xiaohua and she said in disappointment, "Junior Sister's eyesight is not good!"

However, he immediately changed his tone, "Although his appearance is extremely ordinary, his ability to remain calm is top-notch. Which of the ordinary male disciples that I've seen didn't go up to him to flatter him or be a yes-man?

This Ren … whatever, actually … tsk tsk … doesn't even greet her? "

Zhang Pinger heard this and quickly said, "Junior Brother Ren, this is my Sixth Senior Sister. Her name is Shui Linglong. Come over and greet her."

Then she said to Shui Linglong, "Sixth Senior Sister, this is the Junior Brother Ren that I told you before. His name is Ren Xiaoyao. Hmm, his martial arts are very powerful. Even the disciples of Wuming Hall may not be his opponent. The 'Returning Yuan Grass' that was used to save Master was picked by him."

"Hehe," Shui Linglong smiled and said, "You have told me this many times. I can even recite it. No need to say it again!"

Zhang Pinger's face became redder.

Zhang Xiaohua stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I am Ren Xiaoyao. Greetings, Senior Sister Shui."

Shui Linglong smiled and returned the greeting. She didn't seem to treat him as an ordinary disciple and said, "No need to be so polite. From now on, we will be disciples of the same hall. I heard from Pinger that your martial arts are very good. In the future, you will have to take care of us!"

Zhang Xiaohua was very modest, "Senior Sister Shui is too polite. I am just an ordinary outer disciple. How can I be compared to Senior Sister Shui?

I still need Senior Sister Shui's good guidance! "

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's neither haughty nor humble attitude, Shui Linglong was even more pleased. She said with a smile, "No wonder Seventh Junior Sister has been talking about you. She said that you are the one and only person in Zhuan Xiang Cult. Now it seems that you really have some skills. If you really have some skills, then we can rest assured!"

"Sixth Senior Sister ~" Zhang Pinger gently pulled Shui Linglong's sleeve and said, "Junior Brother Ren, just a moment ago, I met Third Senior Sister on the mountain path …"

Then she told Shui Linglong about her encounter with Third Senior Sister. Shui Linglong's face was full of amazement. Her eyes were filled with a strange light. She kept looking at Zhang Xiaohua. There were several times when she was like Zhang Pinger. She laughed until she bent over. Finally, she said, "Ren Xiaoyao … you … you are really talented … but, you have offended Third Senior Sister. You will suffer in the future."

Zhang Pinger smiled apologetically and said, "That's right. Otherwise, why would I drag Sixth Senior Martial Sister along? You … you have to stand up for Younger Sister. Third Senior Martial Sister spoke ill of Junior Martial Brother Ren as soon as they met.

"Don't worry, don't worry. The more I look at your Junior Brother Ren, the more I like him. In a moment, I will look for Second Senior Sister and talk to her. Although Third Senior Sister is most afraid of Eldest Senior Sister, Eldest Senior Sister has always been fair. She may not be biased towards Junior Brother Ren. As long as Second Senior Sister is willing to listen to her, who would be afraid of Mei Suying?"

Zhang Pinger was overjoyed. She said with a smile, "I know that Sixth Senior Sister is the most intimate with me. You can go now. Don't let Third Senior Sister complain first!"

"You little girl." Shui Linglong was speechless. "I just said a few words and you are already chasing me away. How can I follow you …"

Zhang Pinger pretended to be angry and said, "Then Senior Sister should come with us to see Master. You have nothing to do anyway!"

"Don't ~ I don't want to do that. Right now, Second Senior Sister should still be in Su Garden. I will go and take a look." After saying that, Shui Linglong smiled mysteriously and quickly walked away.

This action made Zhang Pinger's face turn red again.

Zhang Pinger really didn't understand. Usually, she treated people and matters with a cold attitude. She didn't even say anything to male disciples. She was almost called the "Cold Beauty" among the disciples. However … she didn't know why, but today, her face turned red so easily. Her mood swings were also unprecedented!

Zhang Pinger looked at Zhang Xiaohua somewhat bashfully. She covered it up and said, "Second Senior Sister likes to tease people the most. Master … Senior Brother Ren, don't blame her."

Zhang Xiaohua stopped pretending to look at the decorative patterns on the corridor. She touched her nose and said, "Your Senior Sisters are all very interesting. Hehe, very interesting."

Soon after, she said with a smile, "I heard Senior Sister Shui call you Seventh Junior Sister. Do you have any Junior Sisters younger than you?"

"Of course not. Master only accepted us seven sisters. He said that he couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to accept any more disciples. How can there be any younger ones?"

"Strange. Then they should call you Little Junior Sister." Zhang Xiaohua was somewhat speechless and tried to find a topic to talk about.

"Hehe, who knows. I guess this Seventh Junior Sister sounds nice."

When it came to other things, Zhang Pinger spoke in a relaxed manner. She didn't have that restraint. It was as if … as if Zhang Xiaohua was the host and she was just a guest!

They walked along the corridor for a long time and turned several rugged bends. After Zhang Xiaohua was completely lost, the two of them arrived in front of a simple but elegant pavilion. This pavilion was surrounded by water and was built on top of a lake. If it was on flat ground, it wouldn't be strange. However, this was Lingxiang Peak. On top of a mountain, Zhang Xiaohua could only click her tongue in wonder.

The two of them came to the side of the lake. Before they could get on the floating bridge above the lake, they heard a slightly old voice from inside. "Pinger?

Why are you here alone?

Counting the days, today is the day that your Junior Brother Ren comes. Could it be that he doesn't want to come? "

Zhang Pinger was shocked and turned around to look at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua was also taken aback. She floated up and landed on the ground with a 'pa' sound. She asked softly, "Senior Sister Zhang … How should I address your master?"

Zhang Pinger's face turned red for no reason. Of course, she should have said this earlier. But she … Ai, know your limits. Where did you run off to?

Zhang Pinger replied softly, "Call him Deputy Hall Master. You are not a disciple of the Distant Flame Hall and I don't know how to address you."

"Deputy Hall Master?" Zhang Xiaohua's mind suddenly thought of the jade artifact shop in Lu Town's Four Trees.

Hence, Zhang Xiaohua cupped her hands and said, "Disciple Ren Xiaoyao greets Deputy Hall Master. I sprained my ankle on the way here and it wasn't easy for me to walk on Lingxiang Peak. That was why I rode on a mount. It was really rude of me. I deserve to die!"

After she finished speaking, she stomped her feet on the ground to show her presence.

Zhang Pinger was so shocked that she was speechless. She knew that Zhang Xiaohua's martial arts were high, but … but it shouldn't be to this extent!

Although Zhang Pinger wasn't very clear about her master's martial arts, she knew that he was still the Deputy Hall Master of the Distant Flame Hall. Just based on this title alone, how could he not have exceptional martial arts?

And her master actually … actually didn't hear Zhang Xiaohua's footsteps. This …

Seeing that Zhang Pinger was in a daze, Zhang Xiaohua tugged on her sleeve and pouted her lips.

Zhang Pinger then regained her senses and said in a panic, "Yes … Yes, Master. Junior Brother Ren he … is indeed feeling unwell … so …"

The voice sounded again, "This lass, no matter what, Ren Xiaoyao is my savior. How can I blame him?

Haha, Ren Xiaoyao, come in with Ping 'er. "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he was also very happy. With just these few words, he immediately built an amiable image of the Vice Palace Master in his heart. Therefore, he respectfully said, "Thank you for waiting, Vice Palace Master."

Zhang Pinger was also relieved. She smiled and glanced at Zhang Xiaohua before leading the way. They walked along the pontoon bridge and arrived in front of the pavilion. Zhang Xiaohua also left the four odd beasts at the side and followed behind Zhang Pinger like a normal person.

However, before he reached the pavilion, he heard Zhang Pinger's master say with a smile, "Ren Xiaoyao, your Qinggong is not bad!"

Zhang Xiaohua frowned. Where did this come from?
