Chapter 265: Ye Tian Yun prepares for the ambush!

"Bring me, three disciples, in the top hundred ranks, and get cultivation resources."

This was basically what Yuan Shuchun had said.

And to the members at the table, it was really good news - because they were going to get a lot of free resources!

On the other hand, Xiao Ming didn't show any expression - he never cared about this idea in the first place.

Because cultivation resources were the last thing, he was worried about in this world.

Yuan Shuchun didn't waste any more time.

Before anyone could show agreement or disagreement through words, she moved to the next agenda.

"Well, now I will come to the second thing - I will give you a choice, or offer, or anything you wish."

Now the attention of everyone in the hall was at her, she continued after a slight pause, "I will be going outside for some personal reasons. And I want someone from you to come with me."

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and then the whole hall clamored!

"Senior Sister, let me come!"

"Senior Sister, I will be honored."

"Senior sister, this junior brother will go through hell and heaven for you."

While everyone in the hall chimed in for Yuan Shuchun, only two people were quiet - Shu Xian and Xiao Ming.

After some time, as everyone quieted down, Shu Xian opened his mouth, "Senior Sister, it will be me who should go."

"Oh? And why is that?" Xiao Ming smirked.

'Because-"

"Because you think you can protect Senior Sister?" Xiao Ming asked in a disdaining tone, "Clear this doubt for me, will it be you who will need protection, or will it be her, when you both get ambushed by an enemy?"

"Xiao Ming, you-"

"Bah, leave it." Xiao Ming waved his hand at him, "The thing here is pretty simple, the one who would not creep her out," he said this while looking at everyone at the table, "Should be the one to go to her."

"And I am pretty sure that only I am the one who fits this condition." Xiao Ming ended his part.

If stares could kill, Xiao Ming would have died a hundred times by now because everyone at the table was staring at him as if he was their mortal enemy.

Xiao Ming, however, was unfazed by this.

And before anyone could say anything, Yuan Shuchun slammed her hand on the table.

"Alright, then it's decided!"

Everyone looked at her in confusion - it's decided? Just like that?"

"It will be Shu Xian." Yuan Shuchun made the decision.

Suddenly the mood in the hall lightened a bit, and almost everyone laughed.

They laughed at Xiao Ming.

And for the first time, Xiao Ming was affected by what had just happened.

'Why would she choose Shu Xian over me?' He thought, 'Last one month's hard work went to waste just like that.'

Yuan Shuchun nodded her head, "Alright, now, I have a few more things to add before y'all head back to your place."

…

The Ninth Peak.

Ye Tian Yun looked around with a frown.

He was currently sitting on a tree branch at the side of an alley.

Why was he here?

To create an opportunity for himself to follow the disciples heading out for the secret mission given by Sect Leader Su.

And how was he going to do that?

Well, he was currently waiting for a disciple.

The plan was pretty simple - he was going to disguise himself as that disciple.

He moved his hand forward, and in his hand were two small black balls.

One was plain black, and the other one had red stripes on it.

Staring at them, Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but have a smile on his face, "Thank goodness, at least few of my skills are the same as my previous life, and not useless like the cultivation base and cultivation manuals."

After getting out of the restaurant, Ye Tian Yun looked at the names in the list, and it was pretty easy for him to decide his next target.

But because there were going to be too many disciples and elders, he needed to take some precautions.

And thus, he roamed around the first peak and bought some materials to prepare a couple of these balls.

And after he was done, he came to the Ninth Peak.

The balls were very useful, especially in situations like this.

Since this was a pretty public area and basically the worst spot to ambush a disciple, he needed to take special measures.

And these balls were special measures!

The black ball was a smoke bomb - he was going to use this to create a distraction.

And the one with the red stripes could create a Qi-less zone. Thus preventing anyone in its range from using Qi to detect surroundings.

Both of these were pretty useful tools.

The only things that Ye tian Yun needed to be careful of were timing and not inhaling the gases produced by these two balls.

He needed to be careful of timing because that was a very important factor for him to succeed.

He couldn't just ambush his target anywhere.

And the last thing he needed to be careful of was not to inhale the gases himself.

Ambushing himself would be the last thing he wanted to do today.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a few steps.

Raising his head, he squinted his eyes as a small smile appeared on his face.

His target was here.

Well, this was not the one he was here for - but the one who would bring him close to his target.

Ye Tian Yun took a piece of cloth and masked himself - and then, moved his hands, dropping the two balls on the ground.

Before they could hit the ground, he had already jumped on the ground.

…

In the Heavenly League's meeting hall.

"Alright, everyone, now you can head back to your cultivation abodes." Yuan SHuchun ended the meeting, "Everyone, except Shu Xian, and Xiao Ming."
