Chapter 249 The Group of 7
"Senior Brother Wei Yu, are you really from modern Earth?" Xia Gui asked curiously. "I've heard that modern Earth has many fun things. Can you tell me about them?"
"Of course." Wei Yu nodded with a smile. "When I have time, I'll tell you about modern Earth. There are lots of fun things and delicious things to eat. I guarantee you'll be interested."
"That's great! Thank you, Senior Brother Wei Yu!" Xia Gui jumped up happily, a bright smile on her face.
Yu Huai and Xue Yang couldn't help but laugh as they looked at Xia Gui's innocent and carefree appearance.
When Xia Gui traveled back in time, it was still in ancient times, so she really enjoyed listening to later time travelers talk about things in modern times.
After Xia Gui finished speaking, he ran to the side, and it was Jing Ming's turn.
Jingming stood up and walked towards Wei Yu with a gentle smile and kind eyes. She reached Wei Yu, extended her right hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Wei Yu, hello. I am Jingming, Xuanqing's second senior sister."
"Since we all come from Earth, let's follow Earth's customs and shake hands."
Wei Yu felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at Jingming's outstretched hand. He immediately reached out and gently grasped her hand, saying with a smile, "It is my honor to shake hands with Senior Sister Jingming."
A warm, spiritual energy emanated from my palm, making me feel very comfortable.
"Brother Wei Yu, you're too kind," Jingming said with a smile. "Xuanqing has loved adventure since he was little. Thanks to Brother Wei Yu for saving his life last time, we should all thank you."
"Senior sister, you're too kind. Brother Xuanqing and I are friends, so helping each other is only natural," Wei Yu said with a smile.
Jingming nodded, his eyes filled with even more goodwill: "In the future, if you need any help in the Lingxu Sect, just ask. As long as we can do it, we will definitely not refuse."
"Thank you, Senior Sister," Wei Yu said quickly.
Jingming smiled, released Wei Yu's hand, stepped aside to make way, and finally, it was Ning Shuang's turn.
Ning Shuang remained seated on the stone bench, not getting up. She merely glanced at Wei Yu indifferently, then slowly raised her hand and cupped it in a respectful gesture towards him. She didn't utter a single word, her expression still cold, as if Wei Yu were merely an insignificant stranger.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Han Xuanxuan wanted to speak to ease the awkwardness, but was gently pulled back by Jingming.
Jingming shook his head at Han Xuanxuan, signaling her not to speak.
Wei Yu didn't care. He had already seen through Ning Shuang's indifference. Perhaps that was just her personality, and it wasn't directed at him.
He bowed slightly to Ning Shuang as before, a faint smile on his face, and said calmly, "Senior Sister Ning Shuang, hello, I am Wei Yu."
Ning Shuang did not respond. She only glanced at Wei Yu again before looking away, closing her eyes as if to rest, and ignoring everyone else.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Yu Huai quickly smiled and smoothed things over: "Haha, Brother Wei Yu, don't mind her. Our fourth junior sister is just like that. She's naturally aloof and doesn't like to talk. She didn't mean any harm."
"It's alright, Senior Brother Yu Huai." Wei Yu smiled and shook his head. "Everyone has their own personality, I can understand."
Xuanqing quickly added, "Yes, Brother Wei Yu, that's just how my fourth senior sister is, don't take it to heart."
"It's been a long time since the seven of us brothers have gotten together. Today, since we're all gathered, why don't we find a place to have a good get-together and chat?" Yu Huai suggested with a smile.
"Great! Great!" Han Xuanxuan was the first to raise her hand in agreement, a happy smile spreading across her face. "It's been so long since I've had a get-together with my senior brothers and sisters!"
Xia Gui nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, Senior Brother, where shall we go for our gathering?"
Yu Huai smiled and said, "How about we go to my Huaiqing Palace?"
"My Huaiqing Palace is a tranquil place, with my treasured spiritual tea and fruits, perfect for us to gather and chat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Gui immediately waved his hand, saying with a look of resistance, "Forget it, Senior Brother, your Huaiqing Palace is too close to the Sect Leader's Lingxiao Palace!"
"I wouldn't dare go. Last time I was in your Huaiqing Hall, I accidentally spoke a little too loudly and got scolded by my senior master. I don't want to be scolded again!"
Hearing Xuanqing's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, Xia Gui, you're still so cowardly!" Yu Huai laughed heartily, his tone teasing. "Our sect leader is so kind, how could he easily reprimand you? It's just that you're feeling guilty!"
"I have no guilty conscience!" Xia Gui retorted, blushing.
"Anyway, I'm not going to your Huaiqing Palace. If you ask me, I'd rather go to my Minsi Palace!"
"My martial arts training hall is spacious and bright. We can not only chat, but also spar with each other. Isn't that wonderful!"
"Forget it, Third Senior Brother!" Xia Gui immediately waved his hand, looking disgusted, and said, "Your Martial Arts Hall has nothing but weapons and stone pillars for training. Where's the food?"
"We're going to hang out and chat, not to practice martial arts. Going to your martial arts hall would be so boring!"
Xue Yang frowned and said, "You brat, what do you know? Sparring martial arts is what we cultivators should be doing!"
"Besides, how could my Martial Arts Hall be boring? It's much more interesting than Senior Brother's Huaiqing Hall!"
"No! I'm not going to the Martial Arts Hall!" Xia Gui pouted, her face stubborn. "If I'm going anywhere, I'll go to Second Senior Sister's!"
"Second Senior Sister's place has so many delicious spiritual foods and fruits, as well as wonderful spiritual tea. It's much better than where Eldest Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother are!"
"Yes, yes!" Han Xuanxuan immediately chimed in, "Second Senior Sister's palace has so much delicious food, it's so good!"
Hearing their conversation, Whale Cry laughed and said, "Haha, in that case, come to my place!"
"I still have plenty of spiritual food and fruits, as well as spiritual tea that I brewed myself. It's perfect for us to get together, chat, and let Brother Wei Yu taste the special spiritual food of our Lingxu Sect."
"Okay, okay! Let's go to Second Senior Sister's place!" Xia Gui jumped up happily, a bright smile on her face.
Han Xuanxuan nodded vigorously, "Yay! Thank you, Second Senior Sister!"
Xuanqing smiled and said, "Since everyone wants to go to Second Senior Sister's place, let's go to Whale Roar Palace. It's been a long time since I've tasted the spiritual tea brewed by Second Senior Sister."
Xue Yang frowned, wanting to say something, but seeing the expectant looks in Xia Gui and Han Xuanxuan's eyes, he finally shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, since you all want to go, then go to Second Senior Sister's place."
"However, let's make this clear first: after we finish chatting, we absolutely must go to my Martial Arts Hall and have a proper spar!"
"No problem!" Xia Gui immediately nodded in agreement. "After we finish eating the delicious food, we'll go to the Martial Arts Hall. But, Third Senior Brother, you're not allowed to bully me!"
"Hahaha, you brat, how could I bully you?" Xue Yang laughed heartily, his tone bold. "Just wait and see how I deal with you!"
Yu Huai smiled and said, "Alright, it's settled then. Let's go to Junior Sister Jingming's place first, have a chat, and eat some spiritual food. After that, we'll go to Junior Brother Xueyang's Martial Arts Hall to spar."
"Brother Wei Yu, why don't you join us? It'll be a good opportunity for you to try our Lingxu Sect's special spiritual foods and have a good chat with us fellow disciples."
Wei Yu smiled and nodded: "Alright, thank you very much, Senior Brother Yu Huai. Then I'll trouble you all, fellow senior brothers and sisters."
"No trouble at all, we're all friends, no need to be so polite!" Yu Huai waved his hand and said with a smile.
With that, Yu Huai stood up first and said to everyone, "Let's go, let's go to Junior Sister Jingming's Jingming Palace!"
"Okay!" everyone agreed in unison.
Then, Yu Huai walked in front, followed by Jingming, Xueyang, Xuanqing, Wei Yu, Xiagui, and Han Xuanxuan, heading towards the Jingming Palace.
Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Yu Huai and Jing Ming would chat with Wei Yu from time to time, asking about his experiences on Earth and his journey to this world.
Wei Yu did not hide anything and simply recounted his experiences, only omitting the secrets of the Sentinels and the Homecoming System, saying only that he was an ordinary transmigrator who had been searching for a way to return home.
Yu Huai and Jingming were both moved when they heard about Wei Yu's experiences.
They were all time travelers, and they all experienced confusion and helplessness. They all longed to return home, but over time, they gradually let go of their obsessions and found their own place in the Lingxu Sect.
Xueyang and Xiagui would occasionally chime in, recounting their experiences training outside, the extraordinary people and events they encountered, and the thrilling moments of slaying demonic beasts.
Han Xuanxuan chattered away, asking this and that questions, her face always beaming with a bright smile, adding a lot of fun for everyone.
Only Ning Shuang remained at the very back of the group, silent and indifferent, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
But Wei Yu could sense that although Ning Shuang appeared indifferent, she was secretly watching him and would occasionally glance at him out of the corner of her eye, as if trying to uncover his secrets.
Wei Yu didn't care. He knew that although Ning Shuang was cold, she was probably not a bad person at heart. Perhaps she was just not good at expressing herself.
At the same time, the gaze that had been secretly monitoring Wei Yu reappeared.
This time, Wei Yu did not deliberately probe, but simply kept an eye on the movement of that gaze.
"It seems that they really were sent by Sect Leader Lingxiaozi," Wei Yu thought to himself.
He could understand the concerns of the Lingxiaozi Sect Leader. After all, his origins were unknown, and he even claimed that he had a way to return to Earth. Anyone would be wary of him.
"Whoever you are, as long as you mean no harm, feel free to monitor me," Wei Yu thought to himself. "One day, I will prove my ability and determination, and make Sect Leader Lingxiaozi completely believe in me."
The group chatted and laughed as they walked towards the Whale's Roar Palace.
The Whale Cry Palace is located on the west side of the Lingxu Sect, built against the mountain. It is surrounded by all kinds of spiritual flowers and exotic herbs, which emit a faint fragrance and create a very quiet environment.
From afar, the Whale's Roar Hall is entirely constructed of white jade, with upturned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, and lifelike whale patterns carved on it, exuding an ancient and gentle atmosphere that perfectly matches the character of Whale's Roar.
"Brother Wei Yu, look, that's my Whale's Roar Palace." Whale's Roar pointed to the palace in front of him and said to Wei Yu with a smile.
Wei Yu raised his head, his gaze fixed on the Whale's Roar Palace, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "What a beautiful palace, Senior Sister Whale's Roar, your palace is truly elegant."
"Brother Wei Yu, you flatter me," Jingming said with a smile. "It's just an ordinary residence, not as grand as Senior Brother's Huaiqing Hall, nor as grand as Third Senior Brother's Yanwu Hall. It's just that the environment is a little quieter."
