Chapter 160: Isn't This a Coincidence?

**Chapter 156: What a Coincidence!**

The "Sect Master for a Day Experience Tour" voucher was the most expensive prize on the exchange list. So far, no disciple had accumulated enough contribution points to redeem it.

Five senior disciples, attempting to pool their resources to redeem it, even got into a brawl over who would be sect master. They ended up injured and hospitalized at Dan Ding Peak. After recovering, they found the incident too embarrassing and left for long-term missions in the outside world, from which they have not yet returned.

Of course, a disciple like Dai Bufan could certainly redeem it, but his special status as the acting manager of the Mission Hall for the Grand Elder prevented him from doing so.

"Fairy, perhaps you should consider a different prize?" Lu Yang kindly advised.

Immortal Fairy raised an eyebrow. "What? That Silent Daoist can be the sect master, but I cannot?"

"Let me tell you, in ancient times, I was a force to be reckoned with. Countless tribes revered me as their deity. What's so difficult about managing a mere Asking Dao Sect?"

"No, I mean, the Senior Disciple Sister currently manages the Asking Dao Sect. If you want to be sect master for three days, you'll need her permission."

"Can I refund it now? No, I mean, so what? Am I going to be afraid of a mere little girl?" Immortal Fairy instinctively flinched for a moment, but then her immortal dignity gave her confidence and courage.

Immortal Fairy, controlling Lu Yang's body, immediately turned and headed back to Tianmen Peak.

Upon reaching Tianmen Peak, Lu Yang kindly reminded her, "The Senior Disciple Sister is in a different direction. This is the way back to my cave dwelling."

Immortal Fairy frowned. "And you call yourself her junior brother? You don't consider her at all. That little girl works hard every day. It's so late now, how could we disturb her? We'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Lu Yang thought to himself, the Senior Disciple Sister transcends the Three Realms and is beyond the Five Elements, so what concept of day and night could she possibly have?

"Little gi... S-Senior Disciple Sister, I wish to be the sect master for three days. Please grant your approval." Immortal Fairy submitted the application she had written all night.

Yunzhi was busy handling sect affairs, exuding an aura that warned people to keep their distance. She glanced at Lu Yang, instantly recognizing that Immortal Fairy was temporarily borrowing his body.

She said in a calm tone, "Senior, as one of the Five Ancient Immortals, your seniority is the highest in the cultivation world. How can you call me Senior Disciple Sister? Just call me Yunzhi."

Immortal Fairy carefully observed, confirming Yunzhi wasn't speaking out of anger, before saying, "Yunzhi, I want to be the sect master for three days. I used up all my contribution points to redeem this voucher. Our Asking Dao Sect operates on integrity; we cannot go back on..."

"You may." Yunzhi interrupted Immortal Fairy.

"Really?" Immortal Fairy had originally intended to corner Yunzhi with the rules, but it turned out there was no need.

"Indeed. The rules state so, and I naturally must abide by them, otherwise, how could I command respect? Which days would you like to be sect master?"

"Starting tomorrow."

"Very well." Yunzhi's tone remained as flat as ever, but Lu Yang noticed a slight smile playing on the Senior Disciple Sister's lips!

Something was wrong!

Yunzhi handed the documents she was working on to Immortal Fairy. "Then the matter of hosting the Five Elements Sect will be troublesome for Senior."

The Five Elements Sect, one of the five great immortal sects.

"The F-Five Elements Sect?"

Immortal Fairy lowered her head to look at the paper Yunzhi had given her. It was an invitation from the Five Elements Sect, stating that they would visit the Asking Dao Sect in three days for personnel exchange, with an attached list of visiting members.

The paper underneath was Yunzhi's hospitality plan, on which only a title had been written.

Lu Yang had long heard that there was a tradition of mutual visits among the five great immortal sects. While called "visits," they were in fact competitions among disciples to see who could gain the upper hand. Rewards were secondary; the main point was that the losing side would lose face.

Yunzhi's decision to rescue Lu Yang from the Silent Daoist's clutches also had this consideration: to allow Lu Yang, a rising talent, to compete against the outstanding disciples of the Five Elements Sect and gain experience.

Huang Doudou was a bit dumbfounded. Her plan was perfect: the Asking Dao Sect usually had no major events, so she could be the sect master for three days, satisfy her craving, and that would be it. She had never expected a sister sect to visit.

Huang Doudou wanted to back out. She had never handled such a grand occasion. In ancient times, at most, it was gathering with the other four immortals for feasting and merrymaking.

But an immortal has their dignity; their word must be kept!

It's just being a sect master; anyone can do it.

"If anything goes wrong, it'll be Lu Yang who loses face!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Fairy, you said that out loud!" Lu Yang exclaimed angrily.

Immediately after, Lu Yang thought of another problem: "Senior Disciple Sister, the Fairy's existence must be kept secret. How will we explain me becoming sect master to outsiders? Where would I get so many contribution points?"

"Why not? You found your master, who had been missing for ten years. That's a great merit."

Yunzhi's tone was as unchanging as ever, leaving Lu Yang unsure if the Senior Disciple Sister was being sincere or sarcastic.

In any case, Immortal Fairy truly became the acting sect master, starting tomorrow for a period of three days. The third day of her acting term was precisely when the Five Elements Sect was scheduled to visit.

Immortal Fairy returned his body to Lu Yang, who then felt a warmth around his waist.

What was happening?

It was the guild token, which had flashed three times. This indicated that the contact person, Tang Yunsheng, wanted to see him.

The meeting location had already been set when they infiltrated the Asking Dao Sect.

"Oh, will I get to meet my believers?" Immortal Fairy delighted.

Lu Yang informed the Senior Disciple Sister about this, and her response was simple: "Go meet them. I'll be in the shadows."

Lu Yang felt reassured.

At the entrance of the Asking Dao Sect, he met Meng Jingzhou and Mang Gu. It seemed Tang Yunsheng had summoned all three of them.

"Should we go directly?" Meng Jingzhou asked, wanting to know Lu Yang's intention.

Lu Yang clasped his hands together and shook them above his head. "The Senior Disciple Sister is nearby."

"Then there's no problem."

There were many towns near the Asking Dao Sect, and Tang Yunsheng had chosen one of them as the meeting point.

Tang Yunsheng, clad in a black robe, appeared mysterious but was, in fact, remarkably conspicuous in the small town, as if he feared people wouldn't realize he intended to hide his identity.

Several passersby even considered reporting him to the Asking Dao Sect; he was far too suspicious.

Tang Yunsheng looked at the three with satisfaction. "Your names are on the Asking Dao Sect's recruitment list, stating that the three of you opened a barbecue restaurant there. You've finally infiltrated the Asking Dao Sect. Well done!"

No need to ask; this was a fake list arranged by Dai Bufan.

"Finally, my Immortal Sect has spies within the Asking Dao Sect!" Tang Yunsheng exclaimed with great emotion, as if fulfilling a lifelong wish.

"Even the Cult Master didn't expect things to progress so smoothly!"

Tang Yunsheng's tone shifted, and he sighed, "It's just a pity that the situation with the other three immortal sects isn't very good."

"What happened to the other three immortal sects?" Lu Yang asked, speaking as the Immortal Sect's Cult Master.

"For some unknown reason, those three immortal sects became very astute and rounded up all our Immortal Sect spies, even doing so under the guise of the Immortal Fairy's name. It was extremely malicious and caught us completely off guard! The other three demonic sects weren't doing much better either, with many of their spies going missing."

"What are we going to do?" Lu Yang felt a little anxious. With so many of the Immortal Sect's members captured, he, as their Cult Master, bore some responsibility.

"It's alright. One must always look forward. A temporary setback is nothing."

Tang Yunsheng then said excitedly, "Our spy in the Five Elements Sect sent a final message: the Five Elements Sect will visit the Asking Dao Sect in three days. This is an opportunity for us!"

"The Cult Master says he senses the Immortal Fairy is recovering, and our Immortal Sect's rise is imminent. We can seize this opportunity to cause some trouble during this exchange competition, letting the five great immortal sects know that the Immortal Sect is not so easily bullied!"

"With the three of you as inside agents, this plan is sure to be foolproof!"

Lu Yang and the other two nodded.

Within the mental space, Immortal Fairy nodded.

In the shadows, the Senior Disciple Sister also nodded.
