"What you need to do now is improve yourself and perfect your own Way of Order as quickly as possible. Complete the Supreme Dao Law, step into the Immeasurable Realm, and then accumulate rapidly, perfect the Saint Dao, and break through to become a Saint. After that, we will help you and Xiaoyu become Immortal Venerables. We hope it's not too late."
Before Wan Lei could ask further questions, Xia Dayu's figure also disappeared. Seeing his worried and troubled expression, it seemed he had gone to discuss Han Fengxue with Wan Yi.
With a head full of questions, Wan Lei returned home. After glancing at Yuan Jun Qingwu and Kaka and giving them a few instructions, he flew towards the Tower of Creation.
The Immortal Venerable's plan to have him comprehend the Way of Order on the battlefield had fallen through due to Han Fengxue's appearance. He couldn't go to the battlefield now, so he could only go to the Tower of Creation, where rules were most complete, to comprehend.
As soon as he flew to the front of the Tower of Creation, before he could enter, the spiritual slip in his pocket suddenly beeped.
"Hello, what's up, Xiao Jin?"
"Brother Wan, the person I arranged to inquire about last time has sent back news. The Water Hall Master is at the old place. You can meet him if you go there.
But be careful this time, Brother Wan. You really angered them last time. Don't mess up again this time, or you might get beaten again. I'm afraid you won't recover for ten days to half a month."
"I'm going to apologize, not ask questions. I won't anger anyone, don't worry."
Wan Lei put down the spiritual slip, looked at the rising sun in the east, and flew towards Water Peak.
He had been waiting for the Water Hall Master to return to Water Peak to apologize. After all, it was his fault that there was a misunderstanding last time. Moreover, the Immortal Venerable had also instructed him to apologize.
This matter had been weighing on his mind, but the Water Hall Master was always in the Holy Hall, unlike the Thunder Saint and Sword Saint who resided in their own halls. He couldn't see him even if he wanted to.
After all, ordinary disciples could not go to the Holy Hall without being summoned.
In fact, Wan Lei had fallen into a thinking trap. With his current status and his relationship with the Immortal Venerable, he could enter the Immortal Venerable's residence whenever he wanted, let alone the Holy Hall.
Soon, Wan Lei flew to Water Peak and arrived at the end of the secluded path.
The same Water Hall disciple was standing guard here as last time.
"Halt."
Just as Wan Lei was about to step forward, the Water Hall disciple suddenly stopped him with an unfriendly expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Water Hall does not welcome you. You should leave."
Due to Wan Lei's domineering nature and combat power, the Water Hall disciple suppressed the urge to tell him to get lost.
"Oh? Is this Water Hall... your family's?"
Wan Lei sneered and turned to look at the disciple. His imposing gaze made the man retreat repeatedly.
"This Water Hall belongs to the Five Elements Hall, and I am a disciple of the Five Elements Hall. I can go anywhere in the Five Elements Hall. Why can't I go to your Water Hall?
If your Water Hall disciples were truly capable, then challenge me and fight me fair and square in the arena. That way, I could praise your Water Hall disciples as being upright and honorable.
But look at what you are doing now?
You can't win in a fair fight, so you resort to these underhanded tactics to trouble others. How embarrassing is that? Your Water Hall is truly a den of thieves."
With a cold snort, Wan Lei ignored the young man and turned to walk up the winding path on his own.
After a few turns, he first heard the roaring sound of the waterfall, and then Wan Lei reached the mountaintop and saw the small pavilion.
In the pavilion sat two beautiful women of exquisite beauty.
Seated on the left was Xi Sha, wearing a white gauze dress and possessing a graceful figure. A serene smile played on her lips as her jade-like hands danced on the zither.
Opposite her sat a gentle woman in green, savoring a cup of fragrant tea.
Wood Immortal Venerable She Yu.
Why were Wood Immortal Venerable and Xi Sha together at this time? What should he do? If it were just Xi Sha, it wouldn't be embarrassing to apologize, but with Wood Immortal Venerable watching, he felt like he was losing face.
Wan Lei's arrival did not escape the notice of these two women.
Xi Sha turned her head and saw Wan Lei. Her face instantly turned pale with fright. She leaped up and hid behind She Yu.
"Oh no, this little kid is here again."
Seeing how timid Xi Sha was, both Wan Lei and She Yu were speechless. How did she manage to cultivate to the Saint realm?
"Look at you. Come and sit properly."
She Yu glared at Xi Sha reproachfully, pulled her along, and made her sit on the cushion again.
"Why are you afraid of him? You are a dignified Saint, and he is just a mere disciple in the Taiheng Realm. What are you afraid of?"
"He bullied me last time..."
Xi Sha lowered her head and whispered, her cheeks turning slightly red.
Wan Lei had been too close to her last time.
Upon hearing this, She Yu's eyes rolled, and she continued her previous sentence,
"Besides, isn't he your darling little lover? Shouldn't you rush into his arms like a happy little deer, act coy on his chest, and have some kisses and hugs?
Why are you afraid of him?"
"She Yu!"
Xi Sha's face turned crimson with shame, and she raised her delicate fist to hit She Yu.
Wan Lei stood by, not knowing whether to stay or leave. How could the gentlest, kindest, and most benevolent Wood Immortal Venerable have such a mischievous streak?
"What, am I wrong? It's written in many novels that Wan Lei and Xi Sha have a story of love and hate, with various versions. You haven't read them, have you? I read these romance novels every day."
"Stop talking..."
Xi Sha awkwardly dug her toes into the ground, her embroidered shoes deforming from the pressure.
"Alas, Wan Lei, do you have something to find Xi Sha for?"
She Yu turned to look at Wan Lei and smiled gently.
"Uh... reporting to the Immortal Venerable, this junior is here specifically to apologize to the Hall Master. Last time..."
"Oh, I thought you were here to propose. What a disappointment."
She Yu took Xi Sha's little hand and said with a smile,
"Look at Xi Sha, she's not bad-looking, her figure is good, and her personality is gentle. What a good choice.
I know she can't be the primary wife, but even a concubine would be fine. She can stay at home to wash clothes, cook, warm the bed, and take care of the children."
She Yu enthusiastically promoted her good friend Xi Sha. Wan Lei's forehead was covered in sweat. Who would dare to marry a Saint and keep her as a concubine or a maidservant? They must be tired of living.
Besides, the Golden and Fire Hall Masters wouldn't agree either.
"Xi Sha, I asked you here this time because our Immortal Venerable has something to inform you."
She Yu released Xi Sha's hand, and Xi Sha's small face puffed up with anger.
"Considering that a mere Tai Xu Realm disciple like Wan Lei could frighten you so badly, it shows that your courage is truly too small. We have decided to send you to the Sea of Suffering battlefield for some tempering.
You have a Saint cultivation base, but you can't unleash the combat power of a Saint. That won't do."
Upon hearing this, Xi Sha's face turned pale with fear, and she looked at Wan Lei with extreme resentment.
Hmph, it's all your fault.
