“What hellish place is this? There isn’t even a place where I can sit.”
Li Yuemi grumbled. After that, she lifted the edge of her skirt and found a relatively cleaner place as she prepared to sit and rest for a while. The 1,000 steps of stone stairs caused her to feel extremely annoyed. It was still much more comfortable to sit and look at the scenery.
Shi Hua massaged her shoulders from the back, trying to lower her resentment.
At this moment, a voice rang out from behind them. “Shi Hua? Li Yuemi?”
The two of them then tured back without prior agreement with each other.
Before the two could speak, Wen Ping who was standing at the stone stairs spoke, “What are you guys doing here?”
“We have a matter to look for you for,” Shi Hua replied.
“Don’t overthink things. I only accompany Shi Hua here and isn’t here to look for you specifically,” Li Yuemi explained.
Actually, even she felt her words were superfluous after she said them. Wasnt it better to ignore him? Why did she have to go the extra step to explain?
Wen Ping cast a glance at Li Yuemi who had a heavy expression. He believed that Li Yuemi must have come here unwillingly because he had never seen an employee who had quitted from a company returning there to chat about old times with their ex-boss.
Such a probability was equal to him rolling down right now from the top of the 1,000 steps stair all the way to the foot of the Cloudmist Mountain and suffering no injuries.
However, he wasn’t a petty person.
At the very least, he wouldn’t act like this toward Shi Hua. He would be very generous instead.
“Come up and take a seat. We can chat while sitting if you have any matters to ask my help for.” After Wen Ping spoke, he turned and vanished from the stone steps.
“That’s more like it!” Li Yuemi stood up with a cold snort. She then mumbled in her heart, ‘Since you’ve invited me, I will give you some face.
But after taking two steps forward, Wen Ping spread his arms and blocked Li Yuemi before coldly speaking to her. “Sorry, the Immortal Sect doesn’t welcome outsiders!”
“You!”
Li Yuemi angrily glared at Wen Ping, After that, she turned her back and felt angry. However, she soon laughed coldly.
She completely controlled her emotions and tured her anger into mocking sarcasm. “The Immortal Sect is in such a declined state, you really thought I want to go up?”
“That’s for the best then.”
After speaking, Wen Ping turned and left.
Although Li Yuemi already did her best to control her emotions, she still couldn’t help but stomp her feet as she felt a ball of fire burning in her heart.
“Did they grow angry from embarrassment?”
“Probably. So, Wen Ping, you have to be careful and remember to not act impulsively even though they might mock you verbally. You have to endure everything, or you might give them a chance to take advantage and act against the Immortal Sect.”
“Tunderstand. As long as they don’t act, I won’t.”
“That will be the best scenario.”
Shi Hua smiled. After that, she lifted her teacup and drank a mouthful of tea. She then inclined her head and stared at the sky, as though feeling that she had stayed here for too long.
Actually, it had only been five to six minutes, and they had merely exchanged tens of sentences.
Shi Hua then stood up and bade farewell to Wen Ping.
“Te said what I have to say. Wen Ping, take care of yourself. This should be the last time I’m coming to meet you.”
Wen Ping nodded.
The wariness in his heart increased after Shi Hua rose and prepared to leave. After half a year, the Reliance Sect was finally hungry again and was like a ravenous wolf that was preparing to hunt, lunging at the Immortal Sect, wanting to finish all the meat it didn’t consume back then.
Right now, Wen Ping basically had no strength to contend against the Reliance Sect and had also no way to struggle free of the Reliance Sect’s ‘devouring’. Naturally, he also didn’t have a method to destroy the Reliance Sect completely.
However, Wen Ping vowed that as long as the people from the Reliance Sect dared to come, he would dare to bathe in their blood under the setting sun.
He had plenty of cards to play so he wasn’t afraid. Moreover, he had the system, so he could make a comeback any time. But for the Reliance Sect, if one of their elders at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement died, they probably would feel heartache for quite a few years, right?
After seeing Shi Hua coming down, Li Yuemi happily ran toward her. But when she saw Wen Ping who was behind Shi Hua, her countenance changed completely. She then lowered her voice and whispered something to Shi Hua, thinking Wen Ping wouldn’t be able to hear what she said. But Wen Ping
could hear everything clearly.
“There isn’t a single person here, where’s the Yang Lele you mentioned? Also, where’s the elder at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement?”
“Let’s go.”

Shi Hua didn’t reply. She simply pulled Li Yuemi along and departed.
Li Yuemi shot a glance at Wen Ping before she left. However, this wasn’t a reluctance to leave. Rather, she wanted to see the miserable state Wen Ping was in.
The former young master of a 2-stars sect was now all alone with just the mountain as his companion and birds as his friends. How tragic was this? Truly, the wheel of fortune had turned. So what if he was in a lofty position in the past? Now that he had fallen, he was even inferior when compared to her.
Given Wen Ping’s status, back then as long as he worked a little harder, just a little harder, the relationship between the Reliance Sect and him wouldn’t be like it was now.
In the end, all of this was indirectly caused by himself.
This couldn’t be blamed on the Reliance Sect, and it also couldn’t be blamed on those who decided to leave the Immortal Sect..
