"Senior brothers, although he doesn't have an identity badge yet, he has already been accepted as a servant. There are only my senior sister and I by my master's side, so we need to take in a few more servants," Lu Yaohang explained. If they could enter just by saying this, it would be very convenient.
But this was just a joke; she wasn't someone with status, and she couldn't just bring someone in by saying a few words. At least someone like Yu Xiudan, the hall master, could bring Lu Xiaodeng in during the later stages of the Foundation Establishment period.
They then said sternly, "No, letting someone in without permission violates the rules. Please follow the rules and don't make things difficult for us."
"Once we see my master, we can prove that what we said is true," Lu Yaohang frowned. She didn't want to use a sound transmission talisman to inform her master, as it wouldn't be as effective as pleading in person.
Before her master emerged from seclusion, she didn't want others to discover Lu Dan's spiritual veins, especially not Lu Dan himself. If he found out about his spiritual veins, he wouldn't be grateful to her and Xiaodeng for picking him up.
If they could delay for a while, after getting to know each other, with Xiaodeng's personality, he would definitely grow to like him. Then, when he found out about his good spiritual veins, he would have some affection, and when Xiaodeng was in danger, he could step forward to protect her.
Despite her young age, Lu Yaohang had already thought so much, her mind was very intricate. Now she was in a difficult situation, without status in the sect, she couldn't even bring a servant in!
At this moment, Lu Xiaodeng said, "Senior sister, do you have a sound transmission talisman? Let's tell our master, and have him send someone to talk to these senior brothers."
"I do have one, but is it right to trouble our master?" Lu Yaohang was taken aback, remembering that Xiaodeng had said she had a plan before, she took out a sound transmission talisman with some doubt.
This thing was very expensive, she usually got a few from her master and hadn't used them. She spent all her time in the Wu Yao Hall, and there was no chance to use them. Now it was finally put to use.
The three of them moved to the side, and Lu Yaohang held a yellow sound transmission talisman, then seriously said to Xiaodeng, "Think about what you want to say and tell me, I'll use the talisman right away, don't say anything that will ruin things."
"Okay," Lu Xiaodeng nodded, already confident.
Lu Yaohang was still uneasy but used a weak spiritual power to activate the talisman, watching the paper glow yellow, she quickly signaled Xiaodeng to speak. Then Xiaodeng took a deep breath and said clearly, "Master, I've found a disciple for you, a very unique-looking young man. The senior brother on duty won't let him in, so please send someone to meet us."
"Just saying this won't work, Master is so busy, how would he care about such a thing!" Lu Yaohang was speechless, quickly waving her hand to remind her softly.
"Don't worry, senior sister," Lu Xiaodeng smiled, "Master, I don't want to wash your undergarments anymore. Everyone says only concubines wash their men's intimate clothes, and they laugh at me for being your furnace. They also say that once you come out of seclusion, you'll definitely use me. Master, don't you want to find a male servant and eat me when you come out of seclusion?"
"He has spiritual veins, not none at all, it won't embarrass you. Send someone to meet us, or I'll have to marry you."
After she finished speaking, the talisman stored her words and turned into a beam of golden light, flying into the mountain gate. Then she sighed with relief, touching her hair and smiling, "Finally done, I hope Master will agree."
Lu Dan had been silent, leaving it to fate, but now he looked at her with a shocked expression, furnace?
How could he not know what a furnace was? He just hadn't seen such a furnace, and he dared to say it so loudly. Moreover, the content of her words was clearly a threat to her master, which was very bold for a medicine child.
"Xiaodeng, what are you saying!" Lu Yaohang looked at her in shock, unable to maintain her composure, not knowing what her master would do after hearing these words.
Lu Xiaodeng, however, said in confusion, "I'm not saying anything, I really don't want to wash Master's clothes anymore, it's not fun at all. Why do Masters with such high cultivation still get their clothes dirty, it's really strange."
"What's strange about it? Clothes get dirty when worn, they're not all heavenly treasures that don't get dirty. Besides, who would wear the same clothes for years, let alone intimate undergarments?" Lu Yaohang said helplessly. Outer clothes were refined, but inner clothes were for comfort, and few people wore all magical artifacts from head to toe.
Since the words were already out, Lu Yaohang didn't want to send another sound transmission talisman to explain. Anyway, Xiaodeng's mind was always slow, and the most Master would do is get angry and puff up his mustache. But when it came to Lu Dan's matter, his identity would have to be revealed directly.
She didn't know if he was a grateful person, if he was a scoundrel and looked down on them in the future, she would send him to a senior for soul-snatching. Her ruthless and cunning mind often came up with bad ideas, it was a pity she hadn't joined an evil sect.
The three of them waited at the mountain gate for a while, thinking that even if Master didn't accept Lu Dan, he should at least send a sound transmission talisman to scold them. Why was there no response at all?
Seeing the sky darken, Lu Yaohang thought, "Oh no, Master must be angry." The mindset of someone at the later stages of Foundation Establishment was different from that of a Golden Core cultivator. Perhaps Master was already so domineering that he couldn't tolerate the foolish actions of a medicine child.
Just as she was worried, a beam of light flashed on the mountain, and someone flew over on a sword. In a moment, he landed at the mountain gate, and from the pattern on his clothes, it was clear he was a Foundation Establishment disciple.
"Senior brother," the duty disciples, all at the later stages of Qi Condensation, immediately called out respectfully. This senior brother was known to everyone, Jiang Yan from Taiyi Peak, one of the master's personal disciples.
Jiang Yan nodded slightly in greeting, then saw the three standing nearby, "Are you Master Yu's medicine children?"
Although Lu Yaohang had never met this person, she stepped forward respectfully and said, "Lu Yaohang greets Daozun."
"No need for formalities, Daozun is a title used by outsiders. You can call me senior brother like the other disciples," Jiang Yan said calmly, his every move exuding a grand demeanor, worthy of being the master's personal disciple, with a bearing and insight far beyond the ordinary.
Lu Dan looked at him seriously, having seen many cultivators, but this was the first time he saw one with such a demeanor. That expression and bearing were what a cultivator should have.
He couldn't help but feel envious, wanting to become such a person.
As everyone was attracted by his demeanor and dared not be impolite, Lu Xiaodeng poked her head out and asked, "Senior brother, are you here to let us in?"
"Oh, you must be Lu Xiaodeng. Master Yu did ask me to pass on a message, and also to take a look at the person you brought. I need to see him," Jiang Yan said calmly.
Lu Dan was nervous, thinking about his face, which would surely seem strange. If they saw his face, they wouldn't accept him, and he had no talent.
Suddenly, a hand pressed on his face from behind, covering the scar, and then lifted his face. Lu Xiaodeng leaned over from behind his head and said with a smile, "Senior brother, look, he looks good, right?"
Jiang Yan was only there to check the talent and pass on a message, so he just glanced at the face, thinking it wasn't ugly or disgusting, which was fine. Then he used his divine sense to scan Lu Dan, and immediately found it uninteresting, as he only had one spiritual vein, which was too low in talent.
Lu Xiaodeng let go of Lu Dan and walked forward, looking at Jiang Yan with anticipation, "Senior brother, can we go in now?"
"Only one spiritual vein, the talent is too low," his cultivation wasn't high enough to see the special nature of the vein, only seeing one vein. Such talent made cultivation very difficult, almost no different from an ordinary person.
Hearing this, Lu Yaohang quickly walked over, trying to keep her face from being too cold, forcing a smile, "Senior brother, my master doesn't have any servants now, and we are both women, so some things are inconvenient. If the talent is too high, they won't serve him sincerely. If he wants disciples, he can take them in after coming out of seclusion next year."
Jiang Yan thought about it, and it made sense. Those with high talent didn't need to come and be servants, and since they weren't from Taiyi Peak, there was no need to spend too much effort. He came not to manage the Wu Yao Hall, but to check if this person was a disguised evil cultivator.
In his arms was a small evil yuan beast, which could smell the special odor of evil cultivators. Their cultivation methods were all about killing and soul-snatching, so they had an evil aura. Even if they didn't practice those methods, if they spent more than three days with an evil cultivator, the beast could smell a faint odor.
At this moment, the evil yuan beast was quietly hidden in his arms, not giving any warning, so this young man had no connection with evil cultivators. Thus, Jiang Yan took out a spirit talisman for the duty disciples, "This is the talisman Master Yu sent. Just let them in and take it to the executive disciple of the Affairs Peak."
With Senior Brother Jiang personally delivering the talisman, there was no problem, and the duty disciples took the talisman and said to Lu Xiaodeng, "You can go in now."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang," Lu Yaohang thanked him politely, and Jiang Yan nodded slightly, flew into the air, and left without saying another word.
Lu Xiaodeng held Lu Dan's hand and said with a smile, "Great, from now on, you're my junior brother. It's great, I'm a senior sister now, and I'll take care of you."
Lu Dan was a bit embarrassed, he didn't know how much older Xiaodeng was than him, but she looked younger. Why did she keep saying she would take care of him, he wasn't a child.
"Let's go in first," Lu Yaohang urged, seeing them still standing at the mountain gate. She didn't want Lu Dan to be seen by high-level cultivators, who knew if someone would come out at night and see him.
"Let's go, let's go to the Luoxian Platform and take the Huaguang Car back," Lu Xiaodeng held Lu Dan's hand, eager to be a good senior sister.
