He had to choose a disciple to enter the Full Moon Mountain Range?
Hearing the sect leader’s words, Han Yuanshan frowned and Bai Dafei’s buttcheeks clenched.
He and Lu Yuan were the only direct disciples of his master.
Lu Yuan had only just become a direct disciple.
Moreover, he had always been a peripheral figure in the sect.
No matter how Bai Dafei looked at it, the person who would enter the Full Moon Mountain Range this time would definitely be him.
However, he was just a stinky pharmacist, how could he defeat those powerful demons in the Full Moon Mountain Range?
Bai Dafei had heard from many of his senior brothers and sisters that the dangers in this Full Moon Mountain Range were not limited to the demons and monsters living inside.
There were also many powerful evildoers in the mountains.
For example, countless cultivators trembled in fear at the paper woman who had been married off, the headless general, and other supernatural beings.
These evildoers couldn’t be killed and the cultivators could not escape from them. They were very troublesome.
This was because the peculiarity of these evildoers was that once one provoked the former, they would be hunted to the ends of the earth unless they escaped the range of the evildoers.
Bai Dafei believed that his strength was only above average.
During the Tidal Moon, all the monstrous geniuses of the various sects would gather at Full Moon Mountain Range. If he entered the mountain range with his 200-pound body, it would probably not be long before he became prized meat on the demons’ plate.
Thinking of this, Bai Dafei cast a pleading look at Han Yuanshan.
Han Yuanshan also considered his disciples’ situation.
“Senior Brother Sect Leader, I…”
Just as Han Yuanshan opened his mouth, Mu Chen interrupted him.
“Junior Brother Han, I know that your situation is rather special, so I’ve already asked the patriarch about it. However, the latter said that there might be a fierce battle after the disciples enter the Full Moon Mountain Range. When the time comes, there might be a serious shortage of pills for the inner sect disciples. If no pharmacist accompanies them in, it is very likely to result in some unnecessary losses.”
He concluded, “Therefore, the Nascent Soul elder has specifically instructed that you must send a disciple to the Full Moon Mountain Range. You cannot show mercy.”
Hearing this, Han Yuanshan’s face turned ugly.
Mu Chen looked at Han Yuanshan, who looked displeased, and guessed his thoughts. He sighed and said, “Junior Brother Han, this is a decree personally delivered by the patriarch. I’m just passing it on.”
“Actually, I also have some understanding of Bai Dafei and Lu Yuan’s situation. Their cultivation is ordinary, but pharmacists themselves don’t need to fight much. Although they can only come out during the next Tide cycle, after entering the Full Moon Mountain Range, they can stay at the safe edge of the mountain range. Not only are there no demons around there, but the disciples of other sects generally won’t stay there for long.”
“Thus, Junior Brother Han, you don’t have to worry too much about your disciples. The danger they will face is actually much less than what the other disciples will face.”
Since Mu Chen had said so, Han Yuanshan naturally couldn’t say anything more.
He turned and looked at Bai Dafei.
Looking at his master’s eyes, Bai Dafei knew that he would be the one who would enter the Full Moon Mountain Range this time.
For a moment, Bai Dafei wanted to reveal the truth about Lu Yuan’s situation.
Junior Brother Lu, who wasn’t good at fighting in the eyes of his master, was actually a monster who could kill a Pseudo Core Stage Buddha in an instant.
Even though the Pseudo Core Stage Buddha had been severely injured, he was definitely not someone an ordinary cultivator could defeat!
Compared to Junior Brother Lu, he was really useless in combat!
However, Bai Dafei ultimately restrained his impulse to betray Lu Yuan.
Who asked him to promise Lu Yuan not to tell anyone about his secret?
Bai Dafei was very principled when it came to loyalty.
He would definitely keep his promises and would never go back on his word.
Therefore, Bai Dafei could only cry and say to Han Yuanshan, “Master, then I will go to the Full Moon Mountain Range.”
Han Yuanshan sighed and patted his shoulder. He consoled him, saying, “Don’t worry, you won’t encounter any danger this time.”
He added, “Actually, if it weren’t for your Junior Brother Lu’s insufficient cultivation, I might have let him go in your place. After all, whoever goes might get into trouble. However, with your Junior Brother Lu’s personality, I would have been at ease. With his stable personality, he definitely won’t take risks easily.”
He advised, “There is still a year before the Full Moon Mountain Range opens. Before that, you can go and find your Junior Brother Lu. He happens to be near the Full Moon Mountain Range. You should get to know him better and see if you can learn anything from him. If you had but one-tenth of your Junior Brother Lu’s steadiness, I believe that you won’t be in danger.”
Hearing Han Yuanshan’s words, Bai Dafei’s eyes suddenly lit up.
That’s right, he could also ask Junior Brother Lu for advice!
Others might not dare to claim that they had a way to guarantee his safety, but Junior Brother Lu would definitely have a plan to bring him back safely from the Full Moon Mountain Range.
“Master, I’ll go look for Junior Brother Lu now,” Bai Dafei said.
“Go. Be careful on the road. When the Full Moon Mountain Range opens, I will find both of you.”
“Alright.”
After saying this, Bai Dafei walked out of the hall.
However, before he had gone far, he heard a voice calling him.
“Senior Brother Bai, please wait.”
Bai Dafei turned around and realized that the person who had called out to him was another direct disciple, Ye Tingyu.
Recalling the rumors about Ye Tingyu and Lu Yuan, Bai Dafei smiled and said, “Junior Sister Ye, you wish to ask about Junior Brother Lu, right?”
Ye Tingyu, who was also Demoness Meng Ruyan, nodded.
“Senior Brother Bai, may I ask if Junior Brother Lu has contacted you after leaving the Imperial Capital?”
Bai Dafei was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, “We have been in contact occasionally. Why?”
Meng Ruyan’s expression changed and she said calmly, “No, I’m just worried that he had died outside.”
Looking at Meng Ruyan’s fake smile, Bai Dafei knew that there was something wrong with her tone.
A man, especially an adult man, had not contacted his family for many years while on a business trip. This was obviously a problem!
At the thought of this, Bai Dafei suddenly had the urge to leave this place.
This was obviously Junior Brother Lu’s family matter. Why should he get involved?
After all, from Junior Sister Ye’s gaze at this moment, it was as though she wanted to eat Junior Brother Lu alive!
Bai Dafei had to quickly run!
“Junior Sister Ye, I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first…”
“Senior Brother Bai, please wait. I have something important to discuss with you.”
Bai Dafei could only stop with a bitter face.
“Please speak, Junior Sister Ye. I will tell you everything I know.”
“Then, Senior Brother, please tell me where exactly Lu Yuan is now.”
Hearing this question, Bai Dafei hesitated for a moment before revealing Lu Yuan’s current whereabouts.
He thought to himself, “Junior Brother Lu, oh Junior Brother Lu, it’s not that I wanted to reveal your whereabouts, but I am forced to do so! It’s obvious that you’re the only one who can handle your family matters.. I can’t help you here!”
