Chapter 137: Three Kneels and Nine Kowtows
The path through Sichuan is as treacherous as ascending the heavens!
This phrase aptly describes the arduous journey of traveling from the Central Plains into Sichuan.
However, the mountain trails of West Flow Mountain are scarcely any easier than Sichuan’s paths.
Ever since Ye Fei agreed to join the journey, the Hee Family’s entourage officially began their mountain ascent.
It took an entire day and night to barely reach halfway up the mountain.
Of course, for cultivators like Ye Fei and Su Miaoling, such mere mountain roads were hardly worth mentioning. But for the pampered siblings of the Hee Family, it felt as insurmountable as the heavens themselves.
Thus, the two siblings were carried up the mountain in sedan chairs by their servants.
Seeing himself seated comfortably while Ye Fei and Su Miaoling walked on foot, Hee Yuanliang—who had originally hoped to grow closer to Su Miaoling during their journey—immediately smiled and said, "Brother Ye, Miss Su, such an endless mountain trail... who knows how long it will take to reach the top? Why not hop on and take a seat with us?"
"No need!" Su Miaoling flatly rejected him without hesitation.
From Hee Yuanliang’s words throughout the journey, Su Miaoling had already discerned that the Hee siblings had learned of the path to True Essence Sect through an old connection between their family elders and the sect.
But the fact that they would dare to ascend the mountain in sedan chairs, even while seeking discipleship, was something Su Miaoling absolutely could not tolerate.
