(OLD/NOT CANON) Immortal Ascension Tower

Chapter 31 - A Monster!

"Senior Cheng Hao! Brother Fu Yin! Brother Xiao Li!" Fan Lai dashed towards the group as soon as he saw them step out of the teleportation hexagram: for the past two days he had been worried sick as he had no news about the three of them.

Since the Maze was in another place altogether, he could not hear the screams not the cries coming from behind the light formation.

"Senior Fan Lai, we meet again!" Cheng Hao smiled and bowed to the approaching Fan Lai "I need to thank you for helping my sister! It truly was a lucky instance that you came across her, this truly is good karma!"

Fan Lai hurriedly bowed back "Senior Cheng Hao, Thank you very much for your help! About your sister... Wait... Sister?"

Fan Lai lifted his head and looked at the sleeping Xiao Wu: at the moment, the make up had been removed by Cheng Hao and her ponytail had also been freed.

"Ahaha, Fan Lai, our little sister apparently enjoys crossdressing, I was a bit surprised at first too!" Fu Yin patted Fan Lai's shoulder and grinned "Don't you have bad thoughts about her now! Let alone Cheng Hao, her alone would be enough to castrate you!"

Fan Lai gulped and Cheng Hao also laughed out loud "Ahaha, you are right on that, Fu Yin! Also, Senior Fan Lai, I am younger than you are (At least that is what I would like other people to believe) so you don't have to call me Senior... Just call me little brother!"

Cheng Hao also approached Fan Lai and threw an arm around his neck. The three men stared at each other before bursting out laughing. At that moment, Xiao Wu slowly lifted her eyelids.

"Sister, you are awake!" Cheng Hao exclaimed. Fu Yin let her down and the girl yawned a bit before adjusting to the light.

"Brother... Where are we... Brother Fu Yin! Brother Fan Lai!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

Fan Lai smiled "Did you have a good sleep miss Xiao Wu?"

Hearing that, Xiao Wu trembled and smiled innocently "What is big brother Lan talking about? I am a boy! My name is Xiao Li, not Wu!" The girl began to feel exposed so she denied the man's claims.

"Xiao Wu, before you say that you'd better check your appearance first!" At Cheng Hao's remark, her face turned red and she dashed to find a mirror. Cheng Hao removed one from his Dimensional Pouch and threw it at her.

"Now!" Cheng Hao clapped his hands and the pointed out "Shall we proceed? If I remember correctly, the entrance to the Outer Sect is right there!"

Following Cheng Hao's finger, the group of nine turned their heads to see a massive teleportation hexagram. It was even larger than the one leading to the maze, probably because, this time, they would no longer be measly Vacant Disciples and the elders decided to make it a little bit fancier.

"Brother Cheng Hao's right! Let's go!" Fan Lai instructed and they slowly stepped on the glowing symbol. First were Fan Lai and all the former members of their soon-to-be Alliance except for Fu Yin. The group teleported away. Following that, Fu Yin bowed to Cheng Hao and waved at Xiao Wu "See ya on the other side!"

The white haired boy that had aided Xiao Wu so much during the Exam stepped on the hexagram and also faded away.

"Xiao Wu, go. I still have something to do here!" The girl nodded and stepped on the formation as excitement appeared on her face: she was, from then on, truly a member of the Mysterious Light-Shadow Sect!

After all, a Vacant Disciple can't be really considered a member of the sect. It is just someone lodging on the sect's grounds, only by becoming an Outer Disciple can one truly call himself a Mysterious Light-Shadow Sect member.
