Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 603 Becoming Better



Chapter 603 Becoming Better

In a town near Qiu City, Meng Jing, with her chin rested on her hand, stares at the flower bed, in which there are clumps of golden chrysanthemums.

The whole yard is immersed with the fragrance of chrysanthemums but the fragrance still fails to cover the heavily stinky smell.

On the way here, she did find a way to make a call to the Dragon Court.

However, as the time was too limited, she still failed to pass all the information.

That being said, she feels that the Dragon Court should be capable of dealing with the trouble as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, facts prove that the Dragon Court is not as strong as she imagined.

Otherwise, she and the old woman wouldn’t have to stay in this town by now.

After being dazed for a while, she hears a heavy cough from the room.

She heaves a sigh and rises.

“Granny, are you alright?” She is extremely displeased from the bottom of her heart but she doesn’t show any emotion on her face.

The old woman looks much older.

She stares at Meng Jing with cloudy eyes.

“Jing, how come the people of the Dragon Court found a way to deal with the ghost worms?”

“Granny, I have no idea,” Meng Jing sighs and says, “When I was in the Dragon Court, I didn’t know they had such talents.”

The old woman still stares at Meng Jing’s eyes.

However, she doesn’t get anything from Meng Jing’s eyes.

It seems that Meng Jing means every word she uttered.

Meng Jing can feel it.

Even though they have spent such a long time together, the old woman still doesn’t trust her very much.

After all, it is because she was a member of the Dragon Court.

As the senior presbyter of the Ghost Sect, she cannot trust Meng Jing from the bottom of her heart within such a short period of time.

Of course, on the surface, the old woman is quite nice to her.

At midnight, she even wakes up and tucks Meng Jing in.

Nevertheless, Meng Jing knows that the old woman only worries whether she will sneak out and get out of her sight.

Especially these days, the old woman keeps a close eye on her.

Actually, she understands why.

After all, this time, whether the plot of the ghost worms in Qiu City can work is of vital importance for the old woman, which directly affects her longevity. If it works, she can live 20 years longer; if it doesn’t, it means her elaborate planning over such a long time will be in vain.

Meng Jing is a double-edged sword for the old woman.

Even if she doesn’t dare to trust Meng Jing very much, Meng Jing is extremely important to her.

“Gao Ge has caused trouble for us again.” the old woman sighs, “Your sweetheart is such a trouble-maker!”

Meng Jing opens her mouth and seems to feel like saying something, but she suddenly thinks of something and then heaves a sigh without uttering any word.

“If you want to say anything, just say it. I won’t blame you,” the old woman says with a smile.

She looks at Meng Jing amiably like a mother.

Meng Jing replies with a bitter smile, “I just feel that if you are worried, I can try to persuade Gao Ge, but I know you have your own concern, so I had better not talk about it.”

The old woman looks at Meng Jing with a complicated look. After staying silent for a while, she smiles bitterly and says, “Jing, I don’t let you go not because I don’t trust you. It is because I don’t trust Gao Ge! I’ve been down this road before. Of course, I know what influence a man’s sweet words can have on a woman.”

She sounds like she has been romantically hurt before.

As Meng Jing nods her head slightly, the old woman continues, “Therefore, even if you are clear-minded, you are still easily coaxed by men. Then you may make a mistake again.”

“Granny, I understand,” Meng Jing grins and replies.

“I’m glad that you do...”

Actually, if possible, the old woman surely hopes that Meng Jing can draw Gao Ge to their side.

But she reckons it is absolutely impossible.

After all, she knows the grudge between Gao Ge and the Ghost Sect more or less.

As such, she thinks the grudge between them cannot be easily eased.

Therefore, the old woman doesn’t dare to let Meng Jing get out of her sight at all.

On the one hand, she is worried that Meng Jing will leak what they are doing.

On the other hand, she is also worried that Meng Jing may leave and never come back.

For the old woman, Meng Jing is her precious treasure now.

At the moment, two disciples of the Ghost Sect come back.

In fact, their goal was to take the old woman back to the Ghost Sect.

Nevertheless, the old woman claimed that she had something to do, so she brought them to Qiu City.

Then they just stay here for about a month.

At first, they didn’t know what on earth the old woman wanted to do. She didn’t disclose it to them either. Given her position in the Ghost Sect, they didn’t dare to ask her. Gladly, the old woman finally told them her plan these days.

The two disciples both sweated in astonishment after hearing her out.

It is fair to say that what the old woman is doing is against the world. As the disciples of the Ghost Sect, they both thought the woman’s plan was too horrible, which would not merely arouse the disgruntlement from the Dragon Court. If it leaked out, all the cultivators in Huaxia might be dissatisfied with the Ghost Sect.

However, they thought it through soon.

So what if the Dragon Court is disgruntled?

So what if the other cultivators are displeased?

After all, the Ghost Sect has been notorious. It is no point in worrying about one debt since they have so many others.

Just bring it on.

They are not afraid at all!

“Granny, we are in trouble!” The two disciples of the Ghost Sect are panicked and hurried.

With a frown, the old woman takes a glance at them and says, “What’s the fuss about?”

The two disciples look each other in the eye and neither of them dares to speak.

Initially, they were not the only ones sent to take the old woman back but because she just killed people out of anger randomly, only these two disciples are left now.

Therefore, they fear the old woman from the bottom of their hearts.

It is said that to be in the king’s company is tantamount to living with a tiger.

It is more than suitable to use this saying to describe their situation.

Although the Ghost Sect is an evil sect, such an eccentric and fickle person as the old woman is rarely seen indeed.

“Say it!” As the two disciples both stay quiet, the old woman instantly flies into a rage with her eyes full of killing intent.

The two disciples go limp and directly kneel down.

“Granny, something is wrong in Qiu City.”

The old woman immediately stands up.

For her, the matter of Qiu City is of vital importance.

Whoever dares to stop her will be eliminated by her in any case. Never will she show any mercy or react carelessly.

“What happened?” The old woman asks in a deep and cold voice.

Meng Jing just stands aside with confusion.

“The panda the Dragon Court has got seems to become better at coping with the ghost worms...” The disciple on the left side says tremblingly.
