Chapter 222: Some Problems
"Fine, write down what you need and I'll buy it." She replied, and Tang Yin nodded, writing down a large number of materials and resources of all kinds that he needed.
She took the note and nodded, then disappeared from before Tang Yin and moved at high speeds.
She was not leaving the sect; she ran towards the Main Mountain of the sect and, a few minutes later, crossed the Thunder Tower and entered the Patriarch's Mansion.
It was a really big and beautiful building, decorated in red and black.
Patriarch Mountain is also the mountain where most of the Head Elders are when they go to cultivate behind closed doors, so the number of powers that are in this place is great.
Even so, Shi Yue walked quietly and elegantly down a long corridor adorned on all sides with beautiful royal decorations without anyone noticing.
Although several people were passing by her and walking back and forth, none of them noticed Shi Yue's presence, and she was able to walk without any problem until she reached a place where she disappeared again and soon appeared in a huge room that had 3 people gathered.
She smiled as she slowly approached them.
Of the 3 people that were here, two of them were well-known in the sect for being the strongest.
The Patriarch and the Elder Destroyer.
The third person...
He is always behind the Patriarch, and his identity is unknown to most.
But, these three people have powerful presences in the sect. They are powerful, and they are the ones who allow the sect to continue to exist without many problems.
Despite that, Shi Yue walked behind them and sat on the Patriarch's seat quietly while listening to what they were talking about...
However, she quickly got bored of listening and smiled.
"Little Mu, I've told you many times that your guard is too low for a patriarch. It can't be possible that I can cast my domain and you don't notice." Shi Yue said with a smile.
This caused the three who were present to choke on his words, and with surprise, they turned around to look at where the voice came from...
A beautiful woman was sitting in the patriarch's position with her legs crossed, looking at them with a mocking smile on her beautiful face.
As soon as they saw her, they were so startled that they almost spat out the tea they were drinking, even so, the three of them quickly bowed.
"Greetings, Madam!" they shouted as they were bowing, and Shi Yue shook disapprovingly.
"Tsk, you guys are so lazy these days. If such a thing had happened in my father's time, he would possibly send you to plant potatoes on the outskirts of the city." She said, causing cold sweat to form on each of their faces.
"We're sorry, Ma'am. But... If it's you, it's almost impossible for us to be able to perceive you." They replied fearfully, and Shi Yue sighed.
"A little disciple was able to notice me in a very similar circumstance to you, how is it possible that you Supreme and Quasi-Supreme can't do it? Haah, it's a bit disappointing the level these days." She said releasing various sighs of helplessness.
They both began to sweat more and more as they wondered, 'Do we have some monster among the disciples and we don't know?'
'How could it be possible that a disciple could sense her?' they thought.
But Shi Yue didn't let them think and threw them a small piece of paper.
'Forget it, search for those materials. Right now. I need them in 10 minutes." She said, and the patriarch nodded quickly as he grabbed the paper.
He examined all the materials and frowned slightly, 'Why would she want such a diversity of materials? There are materials for alchemy, for spiritual smithing, for arrays... Even scrolls...' He thought, but after a moment's hesitation, he sent those doubts far from his mind and nodded as he handed the paper to the elder beside him.
"Look them all up from the treasury." He said, and this elder soon disappeared.
"Well, may I know what has them so worried?" she asked, and both the patriarch and the elder destroyer nodded with an embarrassed smile.
"Madam, there are several problems. First of all, the battle for the Thunder Tower this time is not looking good. Among the external disciples, we have several new promises who have immense talent, among them there are two who, according to the elder destroyer, can ensure we get their resources back, but they are both new and don't have enough strength yet.
So, by this year it might be impossible to get it back and that would make us wait for 3 more years." He said, and Shi Yue nodded slightly.
"You fear that, in those 3 years, those on the other side will rise even higher and aim their spears at you, don't?" she asked, and the patriarch nodded.
Then she smiled, "Who are the two new up-and-comers?" she asked, though, of course, she already knew.
And as she expected, the two names came out of the patriarch's mouth, "Disciple Tang Yin and Disciple Bai Lixue. I think the two are a match, the latter has more cultivation than the former, but the former seems to be a genius never seen before in destruction." He replied, and Shi Yue smiled.
"Sign them up this year for that battle and don't worry about the details. Tell me, what's the next problem?" she asked.
But her statement...
It stunned both sect leaders, unable to understand what she meant by it.
'Does she know them? Could it be that those two have entered the Lady's sight?' thought the patriarch.
The elder destroyer was calmer hearing this because he knew some of Shi Yue's plans with Tang Yin.
It's just that he was entrusted not to say anything, so even to the patriarch he didn't mention it.
Still, he was also surprised by her confidence in her words.
Despite that, he said nothing.
And the patriarch, knowing that he could not ask for details, nodded and moved on to the next topic.
"The next one is the most serious and is looking further ahead..." He said and frowned as he lowered his face slightly in anger and embarrassment.
"We are not qualified to go into battle with the great sects. We have until 3 or 4 years from now to prove that we are qualified, but... Even then we won't be qualified." He replied.
Causing Shi Yue to frown slightly and stare at him...
