At the receptionist table of the Lan Inn, the receptionist was sitting on her seat while eyeing a certain figure who had entered the inn but just went to stand at a corner.
The figure was probably a man considering the size and shape, but she couldn't be sure because of the black robes the figure wore. From the top to bottom he was completely black and showed the vibes of a shaddy guy.
The receptionist got a little scared when she saw the figure coming towards her and took out her communication stone and was ready to call her manager if the figure did something shady.
Bai Li looked around and finally stopped at the receptionist table as she questioned in a low voice, "Were you given orders to bring someone like me to a special place?"
She was actually cursing in her mind as she thought about Ning Xi who had just told her to come to the Lan Inn and nothing else. She couldn't just come easily so she had to do the disguise.
The receptionist was terrified and wanted to call her manager but fortunately, a red headed drunkard came to solve the situation.
"Ah! You're finally here. He's with me."
Ning Xi gave a wink to Bai Li and then turned towards the receptionist.
The receptionist was flustered seeing Ning Xi and bowed, as she shook her head.
"You should talk more."
Ning Xi said, as she threw her hand over Bai Li's shoulder and began to drag her towards the stairs. They were occupying the top floor, after all.
Bai Li waited for a while and when they were alone, she cursed.
"What the hell! You two left me just like that without any information or anything. You didn't even give me a communication stone or something to talk to you."
Ning Xi shrugged.
'Hmm, once again, why the hell I'm surrounded by so many Beauties? Like how thick is my plot armor that every woman who joins is beauty of heaven?'
Shen Yu rolled his eyes slightly, still not looking away from Bai Li. But of course, he was more than happy to be surrounded by beautiful women.
"Alright, please sit and tell me... about everything?"
Shen Yu asked, with a little uncertainty. Nevertheless, Bai Li understood him and began to recount her story which also included some things from the time she was trained in the Seven Stars Sect.
But it was mostly what she had already told to Ning Xi and Ying Yue.
After hearing her whole story, Shen Yu didn't know how to feel. For one he sympathized with her as she had no one who genuinely loved her. Everyone that even showed cared for her was just using her, even her mother.
But he also admired her for never giving up on herself. Even though she was practically alone, and had her existence stolen away, she still held on. Not only that but she even came this far.
She was a person to be admired.
"Alright, so basically what Yue'er suggested is that you can join my Sect and serve me. In return, you would get the Sect's support to overthrow the current Sect Leader of Seven Stars Sect? Am I getting it right?"
Shen Yu asked.
"Yes, Master Shen. I have only one goal in my life and that is to end Bai Meng's life and get the answers to my questions. Once that is done, I will gladly offer you my everything."
Bai Li dropped on her knees and pleaded.
"So, I ask you to take me as your disciple. As unworthy as I am, I will serve you with heart, body and soul."
Shen Yu smiled but then he noticed a mischievous glint in Ning Xi's eyes and rolled his eyes.
