Making friends with Yu Zhao and the others, this is the best I've ever had in my lif

Within the ruins,

Yu Zhao was unaware that the Luoyue Sect, the place she had finally found to stay, was on the verge of bankruptcy. The sect leader had run away, and the Grand Elder was also planning to run away, so it was no wonder that the sect was going to go bankrupt.

She was even more unaware that the Grand Elder planned to run away with her and Shen Yunshu.

At this moment, Yu Zhao was pulling Shen Yunshu along as they ran towards the entrance of the ruins. She judged that something big was about to happen, so she was very eager to leave.

When the two women ran to a place not far from the entrance, Yu Zhao saw a group of people chasing two people. According to her personality, she would not get involved in such matters.

But seeing that the two people being chased had an extraordinary demeanor, and that their clothes were even magical artifacts, she immediately became interested.

He immediately appeared and shouted:

"For so many of you to bully two people is truly despicable!"

The moment she and Shen Yunshu appeared, both sides were stunned. A burly man from the pursuing group glared angrily and shouted:

"Who are you to meddle? Get lost, or I'll kill you too!"

"Fellow Daoist, we've all come here to search for treasure, why must we fight to the death?"

Yu Zhao adopted an upright and righteous demeanor, "Do you have any grudges against each other? Why don't you speak up, and I'll act as a peacemaker. If the grudges aren't serious, let's just let it go."

Since the other party couldn't see through Yu Zhao's cultivation level, he knew that she must be more powerful than him, so he didn't want to push things too far.

So he didn't act immediately, giving Yu Zhao face, and angrily pointed at the two men, "They humiliated us!"

"How were you humiliated?"

"They said the elixir we obtained was for feeding dogs, and that even dogs wouldn't eat it," the burly man said, his eyes filled with resentment. They had risked their lives to obtain the elixir, and these two were just spouting nonsense.

How could he not be angry?

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhao was momentarily stunned. She looked at the two people, and the woman among them blushed and argued:

"We weren't insulting them, we were stating the facts. The medicinal herbs they collected were indeed for feeding dogs."

The two people being chased were a young man dressed as a scholar surnamed Lu and Xuan Yuan You Ning.

Although their cultivation levels were not high, they were equipped with numerous magical treasures, so the group chasing them couldn't do anything to them.

The reason they didn't fight back was simply because they had never been chased before, and these two naive girls thought it was a novel experience.

Moreover, there was no deep-seated grudge, so there was no need to kill them. In fact, Xuan Yuan You Ning found the chase quite inexplicable.

She kindly reminded them that the elixir was not for human use, but they took it as an insult, leaving her feeling helpless.

Looking at this person's appearance, Yu Zhao thought to herself, "It's no wonder you're being hunted down."

Of course, although she thought this way, Yu Zhao couldn't really ignore it, since she had the intention of getting to know these two people.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Fellow Daoists, my two friends spoke without thinking. I apologize on their behalf. How about we let this go?"

It's really unnecessary to fight to the death over a few words.

"Since you, fairy, have put it that way, then we will give you face."

As he spoke, the burly man led his men away. He didn't really want to kill anyone; he was just angry. Now that he had been chasing them for so long, his anger had subsided.

So I simply went along with it.

Having mediated a conflict, Yu Zhao felt quite accomplished. Indeed, he was suited to be the leader of the righteous path.

There aren't many people as good as me these days.

While inwardly praising himself, Yu Zhao clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to the two men.

"Friends, fellow Daoists..."

"Fellow Daoist, thank you for speaking up for us. Otherwise, my brother and I would have been in considerable trouble."

The scholar surnamed Lu bowed and expressed his gratitude. Although they didn't actually need the help, he felt it was kind of them to offer assistance, and he wasn't ungrateful.

"May I ask your name, fellow immortal? I will remember your kindness today."

"It's nothing," Yu Zhao waved his hand dismissively, then introduced himself: "My name is Yu Zhao, and this is my junior sister, Shen Yunshu."

"My name is Lu Huaiyi."

"My name is Jiang Youning." Xuan Yuan Youning made her presence known from the side. She remembered that she had to hide her identity, so she chose the surname Jiang.

The surnames Jiang and Xuanyuan share the same origin, so it's not exactly a hoax.

After introducing themselves, they are considered acquainted.

Xuan Yuan You Ning was very outgoing. She walked up to Shen Yun Shu and stared at her with her big, bright eyes. "Sister Shen, you are so beautiful."

Shen Yunshu: "..."

Well, another one who's after her beauty.

Actually, Shen Yunshu's appearance isn't so beautiful that everyone likes her, but you just can't help but feel that she's beautiful, and you unconsciously want to get closer to her.

At this moment, Xuan Yuan You Ning was like this, chattering away while pulling Shen Yun Shu into conversation.

Yu Zhao and Lu Huaiyi looked at each other in silence, like parents.

"My little sister is being naughty; I'm sorry Fellow Daoist Yu had to laugh at her," Lu Huaiyi said with a wry smile.

"It's alright, Fellow Daoist Jiang is innocent and carefree, and gets along very well with my junior sister." As she spoke, she gave Shen Yunshu a look that only the two of them understood, a look that meant for Shen Yunshu to try and get information out of this naive and innocent girl.

Yu Zhao then said to Lu Huaiyi, "It's fate that we've met. Brother Lu, if you don't mind, shall we travel together?"

"Where does Fellow Daoist Jiang intend to go?"

"To be honest, Brother Lu, we plan to leave the ruins. We previously..."

Yu Zhao told Lu Huaiyi about how she and Shen Yunshu killed a demonic cultivator, and expressed her concern that something might happen, saying that she planned to go out and inform the elders of her sect that a demonic cultivator had infiltrated.

Look at that, that's the art of speaking. Yu Zhao was clearly cowardly and wanted to run away, but she changed the story to make it seem like she had to give up her search for opportunities and go out to inform everyone for the sake of the greater good.

Upon hearing this, Lu Huaiyi's admiration for Yu Zhao grew even stronger. "Fellow Daoist Yu is truly a man of noble character. I admire him greatly. In that case, let's go out together."

They were only visiting the ruins for sightseeing; neither he nor Xuanyuan Youning really thought much of what was inside.

Compared to these minor opportunities, he was even happier to meet a fellow Daoist who was kind-hearted and virtuous.

So the four of them chatted as they traveled.

During this time, Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu managed to extract a lot of information from these two silly kids, such as that they were not cultivators from the Northern Region, and that their families were definitely prominent.

The well-informed Shen Yunshu even vaguely guessed their origins, and thus became even more enthusiastic towards Xuan Yuan Youning.

In a short while, the two women became close confidantes who could talk about anything.

Despite having traveled to many places, these two silly kids are no match for Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu in terms of cunning. In fact, if they wanted to, they could sell them off and the two would still have to help count the money.

This isn't a matter of intelligence; it's determined by their upbringing. Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu grew up in Qingfeng Temple, a place like a living hell. If they weren't so cunning, they would have been tricked to death long ago.

To be honest, Lu Huaiyi and Xuanyuan Youning were really unlucky. None of the friends they made were good people. Meeting Yu Zhao and her two disciples was a stroke of luck for them in this life. In a sense, their luck was truly heaven-defying.
