"Alright, we got the signal! Everyone get ready."

The moment Xiao Wen's Communication Crystal vibrated, she quickly assembled everyone. All fifty Bandits stood up abruptly, getting into a serious mood. They were far away from the Sect, waiting for the signal from Wuying to start the diversion act. In case they were any patrols, they had to stay away from the Sect to not get caught beforehand.

Xiao Wen pulled out the Communication Crystal and listened to the recorded message. Her eyes widened and lips curved the more she listened to it.

"Change of plans!" Xiao Wen announced. "We are going old style! Quick, follow me!"

———

As Wuying and Yi followed the two Senior Brothers, they couldn't help but nod their heads in approval. The Sect was surprisingly neat, with clean streets and stone houses with similar decorations which were probably meant for the Disciples. As it wasn't a Big Sect, it was more cramped, trying to fit all disciples but Disciples still had some place to move around.

There weren't any mountains in the area where the Sects liked to build their bases but the girls could see a clear elevation of terrain the deeper they went inside. Naturally, the Senior Brothers spent their time to explain everything to them as if they just arrived for the first time in the Sect.

"We are currently in the middle area of the Sect, the place where most Senior Disciples like us live. Compared to normal houses in the lower area where disciples live together, ours have more rooms and we don't need to live in groups. Every Senior Disciple has their own house with an alchemy and cultivation room that boosts your Cultivation speed. Of course, if one wants to create a better Core, they need to Cultivate in different branches of the Sect all around the Heaven Realm."

"Mhmm, we know," Wuying nodded in understanding. "We already plan to travel around and gather a few Elements. We two are quite ambitious."

"Hehe, that's only natural," Senior Brothers nodded before proposing as they smiled at each other. "If you want, we can travel with you. I'm sure you need someone to fight along with you if any Bandits come your way and we are free lately."

"Really…? Can you really do that for us?" Yi asked with her eyes brightened.

"Of course, how can we let you two go out unprotected. Heaven Realm is full of danger," Senior Brothers assured with care. One was even bold enough to reach out and place his hand on Yi's shoulder but she quickly dodged, moving up to Wuying as if she didn't notice.

"Shall we accept? It will be much safer," Yi called out excitedly as she grabbed Wuying's hands.

Wuying gave the two a glanced before calming the situation, suggesting instead, "How about we get to know each other first on a deeper level? We just met so we can't fully trust each other… We can chat more after we settle our Cultivation Resources."

The two Senior Brothers couldn't be happier with such a solution, smiling from ear to ear. They were average looking with not that high Cultivation Talent, yet they managed to chat with two beauties. It was their lucky day.

"Perfect! Actually, the Treasury is right ahead of us. With enough contraction points, you can buy all Spirit Herbs, Spirit Artefacts, Cultivation Resources, and even Upgrade Fragments!" Senior Brother called out as he pointed in front of him but when they followed his finger, all they saw was carts full of goods, waiting in front of a big pavilion.

"Ugh, right. Today is the weekly goods delivery… The Treasury will be closed for another hour until everything is categorized and locked securely. I almost forget about it," Senior Brother rubbed his forehead only to freeze when he heard Wuying's worried question.

"So we won't be able to get our resources…?"

"No, no! Don't worry!" Senior Brothers immediately shook their heads assuring at the same time. "We have special access so we can skip this ban. Just follow us."

It was clear that they suddenly got stressed but Wuying and Yi didn't mind, following them inside the building. There were almost no Disciples in the area aside from multiple guards who were supervising the merchants carrying their goods inside the building, stacking them on the pile, and a few staff who carried them further into the Treasury.

Most rare Spirit Herbs couldn't be held inside the Storage Rings for safer keeping as they would quickly wither, so they were all held in special boxes.

Aside from Disciples, one Elder man with a board and a pen were counting all the goods as they passed by the doors. When Wuying saw their pitiful defenses, she was already holding back her smirk. Although the Elder seemed powerful, they could easily take him out with an element of surprise. Most of the Elders rarely fight, used to the office lives in the Sect.

"You two! Why are you dilly-dallying?! Come here and help carry the goods into the Treasury!"

Just as they entered, the Elder spotted them, scolding the guys loudly before glancing at Wuying and Yi who stood patiently behind them. He seemed quite taken aback by their beauty but that was it, he quickly scolded them as well.

"You two! The Treasury is closed for another hour! Don't you know the rules?!"

The two Senior Brothers quickly stepped forward, blocking the girls with their own bodies as they explained, "Elder, we brought them inside as they wanted to trade and get some Cultivation Resources. They are our Junior Sisters who just—"

"As if I give a crap," the Elder cut them off. "Rules are rules. Get to work now or else—"

He paused right after himself, frowning as he pulled out a Communication Crystal from his Storage Ring. The Elder was already annoyed yet the message seemed to piss him off even more.

"Bandits? So close to the Sect? Are they fucking tired of living?!" Elder cursed under his nose before gazing at the two Senior Brothers, ordering hurriedly, "More than fifty Bandits attacked our merchants on the way to the Sect! Call your Senior Brothers and rush to help them! I still need to take care of the matters on hand."

With such an emergency, they couldn't say no anymore.

"Yes, Elder!" Senior Brothers acknowledged as they swiftly turned to Wuying and Yi, showing a bitter smile. "Please, wait for us here. We will be back soon."

"Don't worry about us, go help them!" Yi urged, causing them to nod firmly and rush out from the Treasury.

"You two are new, right?" the Elder questioned the girls right after the guys left. "Do you want to earn some Contribution Points by carrying the goods? We are behind on time."

Wuying smirked, dropping her cloak to the floor with Yi following suit.

"Sure! We were about to help ourselves anyway."
