Chapter 688: Hunting Grounds(2)

Another year has passed since Yuan— Tian Yang became an outer court disciple in the Immortal Monastery, and he has been going to the hunting grounds almost every single day without fail.

Only during the days that he’s too injured to move and the days that he has to cultivate that he doesn’t enter the hunting grounds.

However, despite his recklessness, he has managed to survive up to this point, and his cultivation saw a significant boost, reaching the ninth level Spirit Apprentice only a year later.

“Good morning, Elder Lee.” Tian Yang greeted the sect elder sitting outside the hunting grounds.

“Try not to die again today.” Elder Lee said to him, not even bothering to write his name down in the log book.

Even if Tian Yang dies inside the hunting grounds, Elder Lee has already memorized Tian Yang’s face and voice after seeing him so often, so he could tell if something had happened to Tian Yang if he doesn’t show up after a few days.

After entering the hunting grounds, Tian Yang went deeper into the place without hesitation, and if he encountered a magical beast, he would always fight it, regardless of its cultivation.

“Nice. First kill of the day and I already have a monster core.” Tian Yang picked up the crystal after killing the magical beast with a single strike.

“Aaaaah! Somebody, help!”

Tian Yang suddenly heard screaming, and the sound didn’t seem very far away.

Without thinking, he immediately began running towards the screaming.

A minute later, he arrived before two disciples, one male and one female, and a magical beast.

However, one of these disciplines— the male disciple was lying on the ground with a puddle of blood beneath him.

As for the female disciple, she was standing a couple of meters away, trying her best to defend against the magical beast.

Tian Yang didn’t hesitate to jump into the battle after seeing the situation.

A few minutes later, Tian Yang gasped for air as he stared at the dead magical beast before him.

“Are you okay…?” He turned to ask the female disciple, who was shaking in fear not far away from him.

She nodded in a dazed manner, “I-I am fine… B-But what about him? Is he dead?”

Tian Yang approached the disciple and checked for his pulses, but there was nothing.

He shook his head, “He’s dead.”

The female disciple immediately began crying.

“Go home, and tell the elder outside about what happened. I will escort you outside.” Tian Yang said to the disciple a moment later.

The female disciple nodded, and Tian Yang made sure that she left the hunting grounds safely before returning back to the depths of the hunting grounds, where magical beasts around his level roamned.

After spending an entire day at the hunting grounds, Tian Yang went to a specific area there and shouted, “Elder Sun! Are you there?!”

A figure answered his call and appeared before him a few moments later.

“What do you want? Did you miss me since we haven’t seen each other for two months now?”

Elder Sun was the sect elder who had saved his life on his first day in the hunting ground— as well as many more times in the future.

She had gotten so used to saving his life that it almost became her job to watch Tian Yang while he’s inside the hunting grounds, almost like an exclusive guard for Tian Yang.

However, it was not as though she was obligated to protect him. She just couldn’t help but watch over him like a guardian of sorts.

Elder Sun had gotten so used to seeing his face that she could see him very clearly even with her eyes closed, almost as though Tian Yang’s appearance was imprinted in her mind.

“I won’t lie, I do miss you a little, especially since I am no longer training in your area, where I don’t have to worry about losing my life. However, that’s not why I called you here today.”

“This may seem very random and out of the blue, but I was hoping if you could find a disciple for me. Her name is Meng Lili, and we joined the sect together, but I haven’t seen her for two years, nor have I been able to find her, and I have asked many people.”

Elder Sun frowned upon hearing his request, and she spoke, “You called me here… in the middle of the night… just to ask about another woman? I feel sorry for your future dao companion.”

“Or is this Meng Lili your girlfriend?”

“No, we’re nothing of that sort. She’s just a friend that came from the same background.”

“Then why do you care about her?”

“I want to see how she’s doing in the sect. It’s just pure curiosity,” he replied with a calm face.

Elder Sun narrowed her eyes at him.

After a moment of silence, she spoke, “What do I get out of this? I may have saved your life multiple times in the past, but that is my job. Looking for your girlfriend isn’t my job.”

“Like I’d already said, she’s not my girlfriend… And what do you want from me? If it’s money you want, I am afraid that is not possible since I am completely broke.”

“I don’t need your money,” she quickly said.

“Then what do you want? As long as it’s reasonable.”

She lifted her hand and pointed a finger at him.

Tian Yang  raised his eyebrows, as he was unable to comprehend her actions.

“I want your body in exchange for this information,” she said, making things clear for him.

“M-My body?” Tian Yang  took a step back from shock.

“B-But you’re a sect elder and I am a disciple… You’re no doubt a very beautiful woman that can have any men that you set your eyes on, but I don’t think we should… Actually, if we keep it a secret, perhaps we can…”

Pap!

Elder Sun suddenly slapped him in the back of the head and exclaimed with a flushed face, “Who said I want your body for that kind of stuff?! I want your body for labor! You’re going to help me with something! As if I’d have that kind of thoughts for an outer court disciple!”

Even though it was quite dark, Tian Yang  could still see the redness on her face.

“Oh… but if you ever have such thoughts, I wouldn’t mind…” Tian Yang  said with a shameless smile on his face.

“Shut your mouth before I feed you a magical beast!” She slapped him again.
