The invitation that was originally in her pocket had vanished into thin air!
Not just her own, but Li Xiaobais invitation had also disappeared without a trace.
The girl clad in purple panicked, frantically searching her person, to no avail.
The expressions of the gatekeeping cultivators changed at this moment; the woman had just confidently instructed them to take their duties seriously.
But now, when asked to produce the invitation, she couldnt, raising the suspicion that she was mocking them, attempting to blend in with the chosen few under false pretenses.
Miss, where is your invitation?
The guard once again asked politely for confirmation.
I brought it, it was definitely on me, someone must have stolen it!
The girl in purple, livid with anger, said, I am the daughter of the Sect Master of Elixir Sect, friends with the Saint Heir and saintess of the Three Sects. Let me in now!
This Miss, you said it yourself that no one can enter without an invitation,
the guard said firmly and justifiably, having every reason to suspect that the woman was causing trouble.
You bastards, I am the Sect Masters daughter, Zhong Lingxiu. Do you not understand that without me, the grand conference could halt at any moment? Now let me through!
The girl in purple raged, preserving her image while belittling Li Xiaobai earlier, shed waited until most of the cultivators had entered Wendao Peak before starting her provocation.
Now, there were no other cultivators nearby to vouch for her identity, and it was infuriating that these contemptible servants didnt recognize her!
Im sorry, but without an invitation, no one is allowed inside.
The guards demeanor turned indifferent, his eyes emitting a dangerous aura.
Her eyes raging, the girl in purple warned with restrained fury, You lowly servant, not recognizing me, do you believe Id have your heads for this?
Are you looking for trouble?
A few guards stepped forward, their overwhelming presence suddenly enveloping the area, causing the purple-clothed girls complexion to turn pale. In her anger, she had forgotten that her cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, while these guards were all at the Divinity Transformation Stage.
If they were to conduct their duties by the book and took her for a troublemaker, she would be at a disadvantage.
The girl in purple felt regret. If only she had known, she would have kept the invitation in her Space Ring instead of showing off unnecessarily!
It was then that a familiar hearty laugh sounded from behind her. .
Gentlemen, your attitude towards your duties is admirable. As guards, it is your role to keep the uninvited at bay. This grand gathering of the Saint Heir of the Three Sects is meant for young talents to exchange insights and promote mutual improvement. Certain secrets will be shared.
And in this world, there are always those who covet these secrets, trying to sneak in. To be honest, its quite troublesome for us as well. You brothers have done the right thing today, and here is my invitation.
Li Xiaobai chuckled as he handed over his invitation.
The guard received the invitation with a delighted expression; they were being praised by a true noble!
Hehe, you flatter me, young master. This is simply our job, what we ought to do,
the lead guard chuckled with a hint of excitement.
Intimidation, bribery, the carrot and the stick these are their usual tactics. Staying true to your heart and not being swayed, youve done well. Ill have a word with Zhen Qiankun later to get you promoted and given a raise!
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.
This Thank you so much, sir!
A few guards had their faces flushed with excitement as they looked at Li Xiaobai, as if they were staring at their own saviors, filled with longing and awe, and they were just short of kneeling down before him.
They, of course, knew the great name of Zhen Qiankun, the Saint Heir of the Array Formation Sect, to be able to call out the name of the Saint Heir so casually, and seemingly on very familiar terms. The person before them was undoubtedly a remarkable genius!
With some guidance from him, their paths ahead would be smooth sailing and prosperous!
All good, all good, Ill be heading in first, then.
Li Xiaobai gave a glance to Zhong Lingxiu, who was stuck in a daze, and entered the mountain gate with Ji Wuqing.
Zhong Lingxiu finally snapped out of it. Her invitation and Li Xiaobais had both been stolen at the same time, and now that Li Xiaobai had the invitation in hand, it was self-evident that this guy had stolen hers.
Stop right there, hes the one who stole my invitation, catch him quickly!
I am the daughter of the Elixir Sects Sect Master, if you apprehend him, Ill have my father deal with him!
Zhong Lingxiu shrieked in alarm.
Miss, please dont make a senseless fuss here, if you dont leave immediately, well have to drive you away.
The guards expression darkened, they had just been promised promotions and fortunes by him, how could he possibly be a thief? This woman was truly unreasonablea crazy woman!
You backstabbing scum, Ill inform my father of this, and hell cripple your cultivation levels!
Zhong Lingxiu was furiously enraged, feeling like her lungs were about to explode. It was Li Xiaobai who was supposed to be stuck outside unable to enter, but now the tables had turned on herit was karma at its finest.
Miss, I am Li Xiaobai, Im somewhat well-known in the Immortal Spirit Continent too. If you have time, perhaps find a copy of Immortal Spirit Daily and get to know a bit more,
Not knowing much due to your youth is not your fault, but causing trouble out here is. Hurry on home, the guards here work hard enough without needing additional troubles from you.
Li Xiaobai turned his head and said lightly.
The guards were once again teary-eyed with gratitude. This talented young master was different from other prodigies; he was actually considerate of those below him, which was deeply moving.
Comparatively, the woman who had been making an endless scene was truly annoying.
Fellows, kick her out!
The guards surged forward in unison, the aura of Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators unmistakably present, and the overpowering pressure blew Zhong Lingxiu away, causing her to fall at the base of the mountain gate.
How dare you lay hands on me, youre done for, my father will surely slaughter you all!
Zhong Lingxius face was twisted in rage, her hair disheveled. Who hadnt treated her like a treasure from a young age, fearing she would melt in their mouth? When had she ever been treated like this?
Without an invitation, entry is barred. Miss, please stop the unreasonable disturbance, otherwise, it wont just be as simple as blowing you away!
The guards eyes flashed with a fierce light as they spoke menacingly.
Youre finished, you dared to hit me, youre all going to die!
Ill go find my father right now, and you, Li Xiaobai, you wont leave Wendao Peak alive!
Zhong Lingxius eyes shimmered with tears of spite as she picked herself up from the ground and hastily ran away.
Li Xiaobai shook his head and chuckled, Thats why I say, kids are such a hassle, especially when theyre brats.
Exactly, that little girl not only lacks experience but also holds grudges. If I see her again, Ill definitely have to give her a good lesson!
Lets go, the Conference of Path Inquiry is about to begin!
