Chapter 124: Do We Have to Forfeit?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Yue usually lived in seclusion, and it was common for them to not see her for a few days, so no one took it to heart. It was only after she had disappeared for a few days for no reason that they realized something was wrong.

He searched through her room but she did not leave a single note, let alone anyone who could contact her. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where Han Yue had gone.

“Could it be that day…”

Ye Xuan was a little annoyed. Why didn’t he notice that something was wrong with Han Yue at that time? If not, he wouldn’t have been unable to find her now.

Not being able to participate in the competition was a small matter. The most important thing was that Han Yue had not met with any accidents.

“Elder Ye, do you know the sect master’s whereabouts?” Everyone asked hurriedly.

Ye Xuan told them about the last time he accidentally ran into Han Yue, but he didn’t mention the precious items Han Yue gave him so that others wouldn’t feel bad if they knew.

“Sect master would not disappear without reason. There were already signs at that time. Otherwise, why would she say something like handing the sect over to Elder Ye?”

“But what could the sect master be busy with? She left without saying goodbye and in such a hurry too.”

The discussion went on for a long time without any conclusion.

Ye Xuan recalled the strange incident last time. Could it be that Han Yue’s sudden departure was also related to that thing?

However, he wasn’t sure about this, and he couldn’t tell anyone.

“Now that the battle between the sect masters is going to begin, what should we do next? We can’t just forfeit and not participate.”

It wasn’t easy for them to get to this point, especially since they had won first place in the first round of the disciples’ competition. Seeing that there was great hope, no one wanted to give up easily.

But now that Han Yue was missing, they didn’t even have a sect master, let alone participate in the competition.

“Could it be that the sect master just wanted to go out and relax? She might come back after receiving the news.”

Everyone could not help but sigh, “We can only think this way now. We must find the sect master as soon as possible.”

Unfortunately, as the competition approached, no one had found Han Yue’s whereabouts. It was as if she had disappeared from the world. The people of the Tai Qing Sect were like ants on a hot pan, anxiously running around.

The sect master competition was not like the disciple competition. With so many disciples, it would take at least a few days to finish the competition. However, there was only one sect master from each sect, so it would end in one or two days at most.

If the sect master of the Tai Qing Sect did not participate, it would be regarded as an automatic forfeit.

The battles between the sect masters were the same as the previous matches. They would draw lots to match their opponents.

When the elder on the high platform called for the Tai Qing Sect, no one appeared.

“The Tai Qing Sect is so arrogant. Do they think that they can rest easy after getting first place in the first round of the competition? They actually dare to be late.”

“Isn’t that so? It’s already very good for them to not have the elder competition. As long as their sect master is a little bit more hardworking, as long as she doesn’t rank at the bottom, their sect might be able to get the top few spots in the overall results.”

The crowd discussed animatedly, their expressions either jealous or envious. On the other hand, the elder on the high platform looked impatient and raised his voice, “Are the people of the Tai Qing Sect here? ”

Ye Xuan and the others finally arrived, but they didn’t see their sect master.

“Where’s your sect master?”

The Tai Qing Sect disciples looked helpless. One of them stuttered, “W-we can’t find our sect master…”

When the other sects heard this, they were shocked. The sect master of the Tai Qing Sect had gone missing! For a while, many people were gloating.

Even though the Tai Qing Sect had explained the situation, the elder on the high platform was still indifferent.

“What does your sect master’s disappearance have to do with us? Do you want everyone to stop the competition because of you? You’re really shameless.”

“It’s time. If your sect master still isn’t here, I’ll take it as the Tai Qing Sect has forfeited.”

Ye Xuan made a gesture of invitation and said, “Elder, could I have a moment to speak with you privately?”

The elder looked down at him and nodded reluctantly.

“Our sect master might have an urgent matter to attend to. I hope that you can make an exception for us, Elder.” As Ye Xuan spoke, he stuffed a lot of good things into the elder’s arms.

“The sect returning ceremony is only held once every few decades. It was not easy for us to obtain this opportunity. If we were to forfeit, wouldn’t it be too much of a pity? I think that you would not have the heart to do so, Elder.”

The elder didn’t expect Ye Xuan, who had a low cultivation level, to take out anything good. He looked down and saw that they were all supreme-grade pills and precious spiritual plants.

His expression changed slightly. His expression was still as unreasonable as before, but he did not outright refuse.

Seeing that there was hope, Ye Xuan continued to strike while the iron was hot. He stuffed more good things into the elder’s hands. The elder’s eyes finally relaxed and he put away the things.

“Alright, since you’re so sincere, I’ll have to reluctantly agree to this. Take it as a chance given to you.”

Ye Xuan was about to thank him when he heard the elder say, “Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. Let me be blunt, I can’t break the rules for you. If your sect master doesn’t appear tomorrow, then you’ll be considered to have forfeited.”

Seeing Ye Xuan walk over, the people of the Tai Qing Sect instantly surrounded him. One of them asked, “How did it go, Elder Ye?”

“He promised to give us a day, but if we don’t find the sect master by tomorrow, it will be regarded as a forfeit.”

At the very least, he managed to buy them a day to think of a solution.

The rest of them had serious expressions, “What can one day do? Don’t tell me that the sect master will appear tomorrow?”

If it really didn’t work, he could use the mask of disguise tomorrow to disguise as Han Yue. However, his cultivation level would be easily exposed. If he was discovered, it would cause trouble.

Ye Xuan thought about it and decided that this was the worst plan. He couldn’t take any risks.
