Overnight Fame

Shen Leyan sprinted 100 meters back to his room.

Outer disciples of Yunxi Sect sleep in a room with six people and a large bunk bed. When he returned to the room, the others were still sleeping soundly on the bed.

Only one senior brother who got up to go to the toilet saw him and exclaimed, “Wow.”

“Brothers, Shen Leyan is back!”

The people sleeping in all kinds of strange positions on the bed immediately raised their heads and looked at him in unison.

Shen Leyan: “…”

After half an incense stick, he was supported on the edge of the bed by five people with their shoulders around his back.

“Shen Leyan, tell the truth! What was the matter with the sound transmission note yesterday?”

It seems that the patrolling disciples did not exaggerate. The sound transmission note he sent for help yesterday was really heard by the entire Yunxi Sect.

What is the fastest-spreading news in the world?

It’s gossip.

“I want to know what’s going on too…”

He just asked Xiaodu for a sound transmission note.

 Ordinary sound transmission talismans are only sent to specific people, and they are not known to everyone like broadcasting.

“Tell me first what you saw last night?”

Last night, it rained heavily, with lightning and thunder.

It is said that it is a good night to sleep when the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Shen Leyan’s roommates were sleeping soundly, with one person’s legs on another person’s, and that person’s hand covered the other person’s snoring mouth.

In a flash, the sect’s mountain protection formation sounded a series of alarms, and the spiritual power fluctuations that drifted out immediately woke everyone up.

The cultivators above the foundation building stage took their magic tools and ran to the mountain protection formation to wait in full battle array.

They, the outer disciples, shivered and huddled in the house, worried that a demon would jump out from nowhere and swallow them in one bite.

 The ripples on the spiritual power shield of the mountain protection formation were becoming more and more violent. The mountain protection formation was built by several elders in the sect. Even if ten Yuanying stage cultivators came to chop it with swords, they could not leave a trace on it.

After a few breaths, the mountain protection formation was directly cracked.

A spiritual talisman flew in and went straight to the top of the Yunxi Sect, the Mingchan Pavilion of the sect master.

Half of the disciples of the Yunxi Sect were shocked: I don’t know how powerful this spiritual talisman is, and it dared to go directly to the sect master.

The other half were calm: with the sect master’s cultivation, no matter what kind of demon is causing trouble, one sword will destroy his soul.

The spiritual talisman was glowing with green light, which was extremely eye-catching in the rainy night. Under the attention of everyone, the sword light was shining outside the Mingchan Pavilion on the top of the mountain.

The spiritual talisman tried to break in several times but failed, and floated back aggrievedly. 

The disciples of Yunxi Sect were excited: Look! No matter how powerful this talisman is, it can’t step into Mingchan Pavilion!

The talisman floated above everyone’s head, and seemed to be hesitating.

After hesitating for a few times, it turned into star fragments in an instant, and then a young man’s full-bodied voice was louder than thunder, echoing three times throughout the Yunxi Sect.

 “Lu Yuanyi, a demon set fire to the village under your Yunxi Sect, come and kill him!!!”

“That’s probably what happened. When we heard that voice, we thought, “Oh, isn’t that you? And you just happened to be helping the villagers who were hit by the fire to rebuild the village.”

“After that, everyone knew that it was just a sound transmission talisman and would not harm anyone. The Sect Master summoned the Jiang Xue Sword and sent a sword beam down the mountain. Then he sent Senior Brother Zheng Ziheng to deal with the matter.”

“Everyone couldn’t sleep, so they started to discuss it in the dormitory. A disciple came to ask us if we knew who the voice in the sound transmission talisman was, and we said of course we knew!”

Shen Leyan pressed his eyebrows: “And then you sold me out?!”

“Even if we don’t say it, the teachers in the sect also know it’s you – and Senior Brother Zheng, have you seen Senior Brother Zheng?”

That’s true.

He can’t change his voice or appearance, and he will be recognized sooner or later.

 He nodded.

Several roommates were even more excited: “Then tell me quickly, what happened to you in the village last night? Where did you get such a powerful sound transmission talisman?”

Of course, he couldn’t say that he had transmigrated, and the sound transmission talisman was given to him by the system.

“It’s a long story…”

He roughly told the truth about the fire in the village, and lightly mentioned the origin of the sound transmission talisman.

“My parents gave it to me before they died, saying it could save my life.”

Everyone knew that he was an orphan, and they stopped asking questions immediately after hearing this.

“…After experiencing such a thing, you must be tired, take a rest first. If someone comes to us to ask you, we will say you haven’t come back yet?”

Shen Leyan thanked them. There were too many thoughts in his mind. He was very sleepy and didn’t have the energy to think carefully for a while. He changed his clothes and wrapped himself in the quilt.

He slept from the early morning until the sun was setting.

 The crimson sunset glow shone through the paper-covered window onto the bed.

The laughter of passing disciples could be heard from the corridor outside.

Shen Leyan rubbed his eyes and sat up with his hands on the mattress. He slept soundly but had nightmares.

Now that he had left the quilt and the cool breeze blew, his underwear was stuck to his back by sweat, which was very uncomfortable.

He took a bath and changed into clean clothes, before he felt better.

There was a lunch box on the table in the room. He touched it and it was still hot. There was a note under the lunch box.

“We came back from school and saw that you were still asleep, so we went to the cafeteria to get you food. Remember to eat when you wake up.”

It was his roommate’s handwriting.

Shen Leyan smiled, opened the lid of the lunch box and ate it.

Braised chicken legs, tomato eggs, and stir-fried cabbage. The dishes cooked in the big stove had a wood fire aroma, which suited his appetite very much.

According to the time, the spiritual root test at Lingxi Pavilion should be about to end. He didn’t know if his senior brothers and sisters have found their spiritual roots as they wished.

If there is good news, his senior brother should come to tell him.

The eggs are covered with tomato sauce, and the sour and sweet taste splashes on the tip of his tongue. Shen Leyan raised his lips in satisfaction. His hunger was relieved, and he remembered the sound transmission.

“Xiaodu!”

“Dear host~”

“Why did the whole sect hear the sound transmission I gave to Lu Yuanyi?”

“The mountain protection formation of Yunxi Sect will block all external magic. If the host is not given the best sound transmission, the host will be barbecue now.

The most important thing is that the sound transmission could have been sent to the Mingchan Pavilion of Sect Master Lu, but Sect Master Lu’s cultivation is so high that the sound transmission could not enter, so it could only settle for the second best and broadcast it to the whole sect…”

Okay.

This matter really can’t be blamed on Xiaodu.

Shen Leyan’s teeth were sour, wondering if he should go to pray to the Buddha to get rid of bad luck.

Xiaodu comforted: “Host, don’t be too sad, at least the host escaped today’s spiritual root test, right!”

As soon as the voice fell,

 Suddenly, there was a burst of noise in the corridor and yard outside the house.

“Wow! Look at that test spirit stone, it’s flying from the sky of Lingxi Pavilion!”

“Where did it fly to???”

“It seems to be this room!!!”
