Chapter 344: Ling Wanqing Being Stopped

Upon hearing this, Ling Wanqing knew she had to leave; she needed to return to Su Yu's side. Her visit to the Celestial Maiden Sect was only intended for a few days.

Ling Wanqing shook her head. "I still have to go out; I have some things I need to do."

Yue Xin looked at Ling Wanqing. "Alright then. Wanqing, I feel like you've changed. It's one thing that you won't stay in the Sect, but you won't even part with a necklace for me."

Ling Wanqing looked at Yue Xin; she truly could not give her this necklace. It held an extremely special meaning to her.

Had it not been given to her by Su Yu, she would have given it to Yue Xin the moment she asked.

"I won't give it to you. I want this necklace for myself; it's very important to me."

Hearing this, Yue Xin said, "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you then. You'll have to give me a different necklace next time."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "Alright."

Yue Xin looked at Ling Wanqing. "Do you have any plans for the future? You are already standing at the peak of the Southern Region; almost nothing here can stump you anymore."

Ling Wanqing shook her head. "Not really. What I want to do now is just experience life, see the beauty in the world, and follow my heart."

What Yue Xin didn't know was that the heart of the person before her was no longer here.

After staying at the Celestial Maiden Sect for a while, Ling Wanqing prepared to leave.

One thing that gave Ling Wanqing a bit of a headache was that she had told Su Yu she was from the Divine Wind Dynasty.

But in all these years, she had never taken Su Yu to the Divine Wind Dynasty.

Moreover, the matters over there were entirely her own fabrication. If this didn't work out, she would have to find a way.

Afterward, Ling Wanqing prepared to leave the Celestial Maiden Sect.

Ling Wanqing flew in the direction of the Profound Heaven Sect.

She soon arrived at the main gate of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Ling Wanqing saw many people gathered at the main gate of the Profound Heaven Sect today.

Why are there so many people today? It wasn't like this before.

Ling Wanqing heard the voices around her. "The Profound Heaven Sect is recruiting Disciples again in a few days. I really want to go in and take a look right now."

"To witness the scenery of the Profound Heaven Sect and everything inside."

When they saw Disciples dressed in Profound Heaven Sect attire coming out, a hint of envy appeared in the eyes of the outsiders.

Ling Wanqing also noticed some Outer Sect Disciples wandering around outside to satisfy their vanity.

This was actually quite common, but it was nothing significant. Most people have a bit of that sentiment.

At this time, the Profound Heaven Sect did not allow outsiders to enter.

Ling Wanqing didn't care about these things; they had nothing to do with her.

In her current appearance, no one paid any attention to her.

Ling Wanqing prepared to walk into the Profound Heaven Sect.

Just then, someone noticed this scene. "Look, another greenhorn wants to enter the Profound Heaven Sect. We're in for a good show now."

"This person is going to be kicked out in a moment, right?"

Ling Wanqing usually restrained her aura, and combined with her currently unremarkable appearance, others didn't think she was anything special.

They thought she was just like them.

Just then, someone came up to Ling Wanqing and blocked her path.

Ling Wanqing was a bit surprised. This was the first time she had been stopped while entering the Profound Heaven Sect, and it wasn't by people from the Profound Heaven Sect, but by those outsiders.

Two men approached Ling Wanqing.

"Miss, you're not from the Profound Heaven Sect, are you? You're also a Disciple here to join the Profound Heaven Sect, right?"

"The Profound Heaven Sect doesn't allow others to enter right now. From your look, you probably didn't know. You'd better not go over there; being stopped at the gate and refused entry would be embarrassing with so many people watching."

"I have some connections with that guard, and even I can't get in, let alone you all."

"Better give up on that idea and wait until the day the Profound Heaven Sect starts recruiting."

The crowd saw this and thought there would be a good show, but they didn't expect someone to stop her.

Ling Wanqing looked at the two in front of her. To think there would be a day she'd be 'warned,' but their intentions were indeed good.

Ling Wanqing spoke up, "I am not here to join the Profound Heaven Sect. My home is inside; I am just going home."

Seeing this, the two stopped blocking her. They were only giving a warning; they wouldn't interfere further whether she listened or not.

They actually still didn't believe the woman before them was from the Profound Heaven Sect. She wasn't wearing the Profound Heaven Sect uniform, nor did they see a Disciple token.

She looked like a rather ordinary woman.

The crowd saw Ling Wanqing preparing to head into the Profound Heaven Sect again.

This scene made everyone quite curious.

Ling Wanqing ignored all of it and arrived at the main gate of the Profound Heaven Sect.

The two at the gate bowed and called out, "Madam Su, please enter."

Ling Wanqing nodded and walked inside.

She had entered the gates of the Profound Heaven Sect many times, so these two naturally recognized her. Previously, she had to show Su Yu's Elder token.

Now, it was basically unnecessary.

Only then did those two realize that the woman had been telling the truth.

The other person spoke up, "It looks like those two know her. Why don't you go ask who that woman was just now?"

The man walked up to the guard. "Cousin, who was that woman just now? I didn't see her wearing the Profound Heaven Sect uniform or carrying a Profound Heaven Sect Disciple token."

The guard glanced at him. "You mean her? She is the Dao Companion of an Outer Sect Elder and possesses extraordinary cultivation. Of course she can enter as she pleases."

Hearing this, the two were relieved they hadn't done anything improper just now, or they would have been finished.

An Elder of Miscellaneous Affairs could punish them at will, let alone an Outer Sect Elder. To people like them, such a person was an unattainable existence.

Such a small interlude didn't affect Ling Wanqing at all.

Ling Wanqing soon returned to Su Yu's courtyard.

Su Yu saw Ling Wanqing. "Is everything taken care of?"

"Yes, it's done."

"It's time for the Profound Heaven Sect to recruit Disciples again. I just saw a lot of people gathered outside."

Su Yu nodded. "Yes, I don't need to manage the recruitment of Disciples this year."

"Why, do you want to go take a look?"

Ling Wanqing nodded.

"Alright, we'll go take a look when the time comes."

The day for the Sect's Disciple recruitment soon arrived.

The scale of the Profound Heaven Sect's Disciple recruitment was growing larger and larger.

This was largely due to the stability of the Southern Region in recent years.

Su Yu had already arrived at the pavilion reserved for Elders.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing sat inside, looking down at the dense crowd of potential Disciples.

Ling Wanqing looked at the scene; there were significantly more people here than at their Celestial Maiden Sect.

As expected of the Profound Heaven Sect; Ye Lin's influence is still so great.

Even though Ye Lin had already left the Southern Region.
