People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

131: Chapter 131 Yunshan: I will never coexist with the Soul Palace!Looking for the Xiao Family?

Surely they aren’t looking for the descendants of the fallen Xiao Clan.

An inscrutable look flashed in Yao Lao’s eyes as he said indifferently, ”The Hall of Souls has existed for thousands of years, and they have always been searching for something. No one knows exactly what they want to find or do.”

”The Hall of Souls likes to target Alchemists with outstanding soul talent; that has always been their style. Because of this, the Pill Tower, that holy land for Alchemists, is as incompatible as fire and water with the Hall of Souls.”

”But this is the first time I’ve heard of them searching for the Xiao Family or talented independent cultivators named Xiao.”

”This matter is absolutely true,” Yun Shan said immediately. ”I have a communication jade slip left by that Soul Hall Protector. He told me to notify him immediately if I found any Xiao Family or independent cultivators who met the criteria.”

”I don’t doubt it. The Hall of Souls acts mysteriously; nothing they do is surprising.” Yao Lao gestured for Yun Shan not to explain, his tone teasing. ”I’ve guessed what you’ve come to ask for help with. You’ve sensed the tricks that Soul Hall Protector left in you and want me to help you resolve them?”

”How did you know?” Yun Shan asked subconsciously, but then quickly showed an expression of realization. ”Right, if Medusa could sense it, you certainly can too.”

”That’s not it.” Yao Lao shook his head slightly. ”If you let me use my soul power to examine your body, I might find where the problem lies. Right now, I’m just guessing.”

”They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and while some people do get lucky and find opportunities, it’s absolutely impossible to take advantage of the Hall of Souls.”

”The task the Soul Hall Protector gave you on the surface is definitely just the easiest part; they’ve already laid out plans for you in the shadows.”

”Senior, you are absolutely right. That Hall of Souls is simply detestable.” Yun Shan immediately agreed, saying, ”That Protector Wu left a mark in my soul that can subtly change my personality, making me greedy and ambitious, and it can even devour my soul.”

”I only found out today that the founding ancestor of my Cloud Mist Sect also fell at the hands of someone from the Hall of Souls.”

As he spoke, Yun Shan revealed some details about the Gate of Life and Death.

Finally, he said decisively, ”My Cloud Mist Sect and the Hall of Souls cannot coexist under the same sky.”

”If Senior has a way to help me, I promise to lead the Cloud Mist Sect to protect the Xiao Family in the future, just like the Mittel Family where Hai Bodong is.”

”Additionally, if there’s anything you want, just say the word, and I will do my best to find it for you.”

Hearing this, Yao Lao didn’t answer but looked at Xiao Ting.

”Yao Lao, the Hall of Souls is coming for my Xiao Family. If Old Sect Master Yun Shan isn’t lying, then the Cloud Mist Sect is a natural ally for my Xiao Family.” Xiao Ting cupped his hands in greeting to Yao Lao.

”I’m definitely not lying. If I were, I might as well immediately crush the communication jade slip Protector Wu gave me.” Yun Shan immediately stated his stance.

”In that case, I can agree.” Yao Lao nodded slightly and said, ”This venerable one will refine a Tier 6 high-grade medicinal pill called the soul clearing pill. Its effect is to clear all foreign energies from the soul and nourish it. If you find the natural spiritual herbs required to refine the pill, this venerable one can act on your behalf.”

”As for the fee, it’s also the price that must be paid for cooperation...”

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Ting again, signaling for him to set the price.

”I would like to enter the Gate of Life and Death to see it for myself. I wonder if that’s possible?” Xiao Ting asked Yun Shan.

”Yes.” Yun Shan agreed without hesitation. ”There is an altar inside the Gate of Life and Death. By sacrificing members of the Hall of Souls, their cultivation can be devoured and converted into energy that the sacrificer can directly absorb. I can bring it out to share with everyone.”

”The Cloud Mist Sect’s Gate of Life and Death actually has such a function?” Xiao Ting was surprised and showed an interested expression. ”In that case, having the same mortal enemy, we can indeed become a mutually beneficial alliance.”

”If the effect of the Gate of Life and Death’s altar is real, then we won’t need any other compensation.”

When the time comes to hunt down some Soul Hall Soul Emissaries and Protectors, won’t his cultivation soar?

”Then do I still need to accompany you to Jia Nan Academy as a maid?” Yun Yun couldn’t help but ask.

How did she end up gaining her freedom to leave after a single discussion?

She still wanted to appear by Xiao Ting’s side reasonably so she could be recorded in the Diary every day.

The benefits obtained through the Plane Blessing were far more numerous and higher grade than those from the Gate of Life and Death.

”You?” Xiao Ting showed a puzzled expression. ”Since both sides have become cooperative allies, it’s naturally not appropriate for me to keep you by my side as a personal maid. There’s no need to ask that specifically, is there?”

As he spoke, Xiao Ting said teasingly, ”Could it be, Sect Master Yun Yun, that after being a maid for a few days, you’ve actually fallen in love with this identity?”

Look, if it weren’t for the Diary, would I, this Sect Master, be willing to come and be your maid?

I’d definitely chase you down to be my male servant instead, leaving everything for you to do and handle.

”This Sect Master just values the spirit of the contract!” Yun Yun said stubbornly.

”Hahaha.” Yun Shan suddenly burst into laughter and spoke with an inscrutable look in his eyes, ”I heard that in a few days, young friend Xiao Ting and young friend Xiao Yan will be going to Jia Nan Academy, and Senior Yao Lao will likely go along. These two days won’t be enough time to find the medicinal herbs needed for the soul clearing pill, let alone refine it.”

”In my opinion, Yun’er, why don’t you pretend to be a personal maid and follow young friend Xiao Ting to Jia Nan Academy? That academy is famous across the continent and must have its merits. As the Sect Master, you can also take this opportunity to learn a bit.”

”Once the herbs are gathered, I will have someone send them to Jia Nan Academy. After Senior Yao Lao refines the soul clearing pill, you can personally escort it back to the Cloud Mist Sect.”

These words made Yun Yun’s heart bloom with joy; it was truly like being handed a pillow just as she was getting sleepy. She could now follow Xiao Ting legitimately.

”To let your disciple be someone else’s maid—you really are a good teacher!” Yun Yun grumbled at Yun Shan before showing a reluctant expression and saying to Xiao Ting, ”Since Teacher has instructed it, then I shall pretend to be your personal maid for a while.”

”But I won’t do the things a personal maid is supposed to do. However, if you run into trouble and need help, I can step in.”

Xiao Ting really wanted to say that since she didn’t want to be a maid that much, she didn’t have to.

But he was afraid that if he said that, Yun Yun wouldn’t be able to keep up the act and would shatter on the spot.

So in the end, he chose to shrug his shoulders. ”Fine, I’ll reluctantly take you along, Maid Little Yun’er.”

”What did you call me!?” Yun Yun was stunned, and then her pretty face turned beet red as she glared at Xiao Ting with both shame and annoyance.

”Little Yun’er.” Xiao Ting spoke with a helpless look. ”Your identity is my maid. I can’t very well call you Senior or Sister Yun Yun or anything like that.”

”If I call you by your name, Yun Yun, and someone at Jia Nan Academy happens to hear it and has also heard of the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect’s name, they might joke that my maid’s name is the same as the Sect Master’s. Wouldn’t that be terrible?”

”It would indeed be terrible!” Yun Shan nodded in agreement. ”Yun’er absolutely cannot expose her identity. Little Yun’er is the perfect name for you to call her.”

”Yun Yun: ???”

”Let the Fighting Qi Continent be destroyed; I’m tired!”
