Chapter 840 “Be the Judge (4)”

Due to Bai Yan sending word to Qiu Shu Rong (third shifu) and his two brothers ahead of time, the gatekeepers here already knew Bai Yan was coming thanks to the portrait they were given. Therefore, no identification was need when she was allowed through.

“This… why didn’t this woman need a permission slip to get inside?”

“Does she also have a backer inside the Holy Land?”

“I think so, otherwise why would she dare to go against Miss Huo Yun of the Fiery Flame Sect?”

The gossiping voices continued to ring out after the group’s departure.

……

Regarding this crucial piece of information regarding Bai Yan’s background, Huo Yun herself did not hear it when she stopped in her tracks to speak: “Cousin, did you see that woman with the two children?”

Lin Yahan became surprised by the sudden question and asked: “What’s wrong?”

“The woman’s son offended me with his filthy tongue. Cousin, I hope you can set her straight during the preliminary selection!” Bitter in her voice, this lady was cold and unmerciful in those eyes.

This should be easy for Cousin to do since his mentor is an elder here….

“Don’t worry Huo Yun, I will definitely help you vent that frustration out given the opportunity.” Lin Yahan breaks out laughing after thinking it was some sort of huge request. If it’s merely toying with a contestant than it’s simple for him.

……

Bai Yan did not hear the scheming conversation about herself when entering the Holy Land due to the different direction she took for the Holy Island. She wanted to go see her three shifus and it’s very likely they are there because the task of maintaining her island has fallen onto the three seniors after she left.

Sure enough, the sight of the three seniors sipping tea and sitting on their chairs were soon within view. Towards this picture, she just couldn’t resist a smile because it was these three who gave her all the warmth back then, and it was they who outstretched a helping hand during her most difficult time….

“Yan Yan?” Ren Yi (second) was the first to notice the familiar presence nearby. Lighting up in the face as he stood, “You’re back!”

His words instantly roused Zheng Qi (first) and Qiu Shu Rong (third) to turn around as well. Showing surprise and joy in their eyes, the two happily got up from their chairs to meet the group.

“Oh right, is this little lass the one you were looking for?” Puckering his lips to the side, the first brother acts like a total child despite being so old: “Also, why didn’t you inform us when you were leaving the Misty Fairy House? We ended up waiting there until your grandfather came to let us know….”

Bai Yan starts giggling hilariously at her third shifu’s appearance: “Shifus, how is your alchemy doing lately? Have the three of you been practicing the recipes I left behind last time?”

“Oomph!” Zheng Qi the biggest brother suddenly shoots an apologetic look to the youngest one before throwing Qiu Shu Rong under the bus: “Me and your second shifu have successfully refined the recipe you gave us, it’s only your third shifu here who hasn’t done so….”

“Yes, your third shifu here is too stupid. Disciple, you should harshly punish him!” Ren Yi adds, making sure the attention doesn’t fall onto himself next.

Flushing red from anger and embarrassment, Qiu Shu Rong spews fire at his two traitorous brothers: “Would it kill you two old farts to not sell me out?!”

Almost unable to keep herself together after seeing how the three troublesome old fellas are about to start a fight, Bai Yan decides to change the topic: “Alright, alright, I’m not here this time to check on your alchemy. There’s something else I want to say.”

“What’s the matter?”

For a time, all three pairs of eyes were locked onto the woman’s face.

“I want to enter the Holy Domain mentioned by the Lord before….”

The Holy Domain was the equivalent of the secret domain in the Demon Realm. Just like all miraculous places that could help bolster one’s cultivation by training in there, it’s also very dangerous and one would likely not return if the enterer wasn’t careful.

This time, for Di Cang’s sake, for the Demon Realm’s sake, I must take this risk!
