Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

After Ye Lu took the money from the customer, she put it into her cloth bag.

Then he returned to the stall and flipped through the novel in his hand.

As the night deepened, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and only the breeze blowing across the arch bridge brought a hint of coolness.

Just as he was immersed in the story, someone suddenly came to his stall.

"We are the captain of the police. We received a report from the people that there is a fortune teller here. We are here to investigate your identity." said a captain of the police.

Ye Lu raised her head and looked at the two captains of police. It turned out that no fortune teller in this county dared to set up a stall to tell fortunes because the captains of police here would check the fortune teller's identity.

He also knew that most fortune tellers in the world were fake and relied on fake fortune-telling books to deceive people. How could there be so many Taoists who could tell fortunes for mortals?

The leader of the Qingcheng Sect specifically instructed Guo Yelu to cooperate with the government and officials of the Xingtian Division when outside.

He took out the token of the Qingcheng Sect disciple from his bosom and handed it to the captain of the police. This was just a routine matter and he didn't care.

"I am a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. You should have heard of me. I am not a deceptive fortune teller."

The Qingcheng Sect was one of the smaller sects in this area. They had heard of the government detective chief. Baizhu County had also commissioned disciples of the Qingcheng Sect to investigate a case.

The captain of the police took the token and examined it carefully. They had seen the Qingcheng Sect's token twice, so they would not make a mistake.

After confirming that the fortune teller was a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, the two of them clasped their fists and said, "So you are a young man from the Qingcheng Sect. Sorry to bother you. We will leave now."

They will only come here to confirm the identity of the fortune teller after receiving a report from the police. If he is a liar, they will take him away directly. As for the real Taoist priest, they will naturally not interfere too much, and they are not qualified to care about other people's affairs.

Taoist priests are a school of monks who are good at exorcising demons, fortune-telling, and adjusting feng shui.

"Young man, are you coming to Baizhu County to investigate the matter entrusted by the county magistrate?" the captain asked in a low voice.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. If I need help from your government, I will come to you."

The captain understood and didn't ask any more questions.

"Then we two will take our leave first and not disturb the young man's actions."

Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, Ye Lu called out to them, "Wouldn't you two like to come and have your fortune told?"

"Fortune-telling on the arch bridge, children bully the old!"

"No need, young man. I don't have anything that needs fortune-telling recently."

"Young man, me too. My wife just gave birth to a child recently. If I had told her fortune half a month ago, she would have even chosen a name by now."

Finally, the two constables asked Ye Lu for two amulets. Ye Lu originally wanted to raise the price, but the two men said that they were for their children, so she only charged twenty cents each.

It's really hard to be the eldest senior brother. He has to help the sect make money to support his younger brothers and sisters. Except for the leader, everyone else in the sect still has to eat and cannot practice fasting.

It’s not that the fasting pills are not good, but eating is more cost-effective.

The fasting pills require spirit stones to be purchased from the shops of the Medicine King Valley, as their small sect does not have any alchemists.

All they needed to eat was copper coins. Their sect was already poor, and they couldn't afford to use spirit stones to buy fasting pills.

The last time he and Fatty Lai went to the secret realm of the Moonworm Valley, the elixirs they brought with them were all the elixirs owned by the entire sect. The master gave all the elixirs to the two of them.

The reason why the Qingcheng Sect has fallen into such a state is because the leader was seriously injured decades ago, and was plagued by inner demons, making it impossible to break through.

After the master gave them the elixir, he tried to break through again.

The reason why Ye Lu and Lai Pangzi were looking for the nebula compass of the previous leader was to help their master get rid of his inner demons and prepare for the final seclusion.

The disappearance of the previous head and the loss of the Nebula Compass were the main reasons why his master developed inner demons.

At that time, Ye Lu noticed that someone was using the nebula compass to calculate the sky. The two of them were not too far away from that place, so they quickly rushed there.

They originally planned to be prepared to go bankrupt and give away the last of the Qingcheng Sect's assets, but that person didn't ask for anything and gave them the Nebula Compass.

That person was Xu Yeyu, the disciple of Sunset Sect.

Whether the master can successfully break through this time depends on himself. If the master fails to break through, the Qingcheng Sect will be disbanded, and he and Fatty Lai will take their junior brothers and sisters to find another small sect to join.

This breakthrough concerns the survival of the entire Qingcheng Sect.

The sky had become completely dark, with stars dotting the entire night sky. The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, with only a few people hurrying on their way.

Ye Lu sighed softly, thinking that it was time to pack up the stall and find a hotel to stay in.

"Is this novel good?" Xu Yeyu asked, sitting on the wooden bench opposite him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu." Ye Lu stood up and clasped his fists towards him, showing respect for this fellow Daoist Xu.

Xu Yeyu is the person he respects the most besides his master and the village chief who raised him.

Because he returned the Nebula Compass to the Qingcheng Sect, it gave his master another chance to break through.

"We have met twice. It is fate that we can meet here again. How about we change our names and call each other by our first names?"

Ye Lu nodded in agreement, and continued, "This novel is okay, I just read it to kill time."

"Let me guess the plot. Is it about an unknown boy who happened to save a female monk, or helped a female monk find something? Then he fell in love with her. However, because of the difference between mortals and immortals, he worked hard to practice just to get closer to the person he loved."

Ye Lu was shocked. It turned out that Xu Yeyu also read mortal novels?

Isn’t what he said exactly the plot direction of this novel?

"Have you read the novel in my hand?" Ye Lu asked tentatively.

"Actually, I haven't seen it. This plot was told to me by an outer sect elder before I became a disciple of Sunset Sect."

"Young man, don't always think about fighting and killing. Can't you cultivate for the sake of a girl? Back then, he did it for a woman..."

I don’t know what happened next to Xu Yeyu because he interrupted the outer sect elder at that time.

If I had known, I would have listened more to the elders at that time!

"He also said that revenge is outdated," Xu Yeyu added.

Is the outer sect elder of your Sunset Sect really serious? Why would he tell you this?

Originally, Ye Lu had planned to try to get the junior brothers and sisters from the Qingcheng Sect to join the Sunset Sect as outer disciples after her master failed to break through.

After all, he and Fatty Lai had both reached the last ten steps in the Moonworm Valley Secret Realm. There would be no problem for the two of them to join the Sunset Sect. This was a stepping stone.

It’s just not clear whether the Sunset Sect will accept their junior brothers and sisters.

Now he was a little hesitant, and was worried that after joining the Sunset Sect, his fellow disciples would be led astray by this outer sect elder.
