Chapter 295 Dao Companion (1/2)
”Yuan, should I wear my mask as well?” Meixiu asked him before leaving the house.
”Oh, right. I almost forgot. Let's wear our mask just in case.” Yuan nodded as he wore the Black Jade Mask.
Meixiu followed and wore her Crimson Mask before following Yuan outside.
”Hmm? Disciple Yuan? Where are you going? And who's that beside you? She doesn't look like a disciple.” Min Li noticed them and called out to him from her windows.
”Good morning, Disciple Min. I am heading to the sect master's headquarters right now,” said Yuan.
”Sect master's headquarters? Did you do something again? Most disciples go there only when they're in trouble with the Sect Master,” Min Li said in a slightly worried voice.
”Haha… No, I am not in trouble. I'm meeting with Elder Xuan there since we're about to leave the sect for the Mystic Realm.”
”W-Wait a second… The Mystic Realm? Don't tell me you're going to participate in it?” Min Li stared at him with wide eyes, but after she recalled his talents, her shock almost instantly disappeared.
”That's right.” Yuan nodded.
”I-I see… Well… Good luck, I guess…” Min Li was speechless.
”Oh, and this is my friend, Meixiu. See you later, Disciple Min!”
Yuan left the place shortly after, leaving Min Li standing by the window with a dazed look on her face.
”That was Min Li, my neighbor, and a fellow disciple. She's from a really powerful and influential family from what I heard,” Yuan introduced her to Meixiu after they left.
Sometime later, they arrived at the sect master's headquarters.
*Knock* *Knock*
Yuan knocked on the door loudly after arriving at the doorstep
”It's me, Disciple Yuan!”
The door opened a few moments later and Elder Xuan appeared before them.
”Welcome, Disciple Yuan—” Elder Xuan stopped speaking when he noticed Meixiu standing beside him.
”Who's this?” he then asked.
”This is my friend, Meixiu. I hope you don't mind her tagging along with us.” Yuan said to him.
”Your friend…?” Elder Xuan raised his eyebrows.
He then said, ”Let's assemble with the others for now. We'll see what the Sect Master has to say about this.”
Yuan and Meixiu followed Elder Xuan inside the building to meet with Long Yijun, the high-ranking sect elders, as well as the participants.
”We've been waiting for you, Disciple Yuan— Hm? Who's that?” Long Yijun asked the moment he noticed the person with a feminine figure standing next to Yuan.
”This is my friend, Meixiu, and I'd like to bring her with me,” Yuan said.
”Your friend…?” Everyone in the room turned to look at Meixiu with raised eyebrows.
”You say she's your friend, but she's actually your Dao Companion or something, right?” Elder Shan chuckled after a moment of silence.
