Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1353 - 1342: A Family of Cannon Fodder

Ye Qiu originally thought that Li Yizhen’s sect was located in a remote mountain forest, but to her surprise, it was in a famous Daoist temple in the neighboring provincial capital, and this place was even a tourist attraction, but only Inner Sect disciples were allowed into the temple’s back courtyard.

The person who came to meet them was Li Yiming, Li Yizhen’s senior brother, and the heir to this Daoist temple.

"Junior Sister, you mentioned in the call that you encountered someone who is stealing people’s luck, what exactly happened?" Li Yiming’s demeanor was very serious, indicating that this matter was indeed significant.

"I’ll tell you when we get back, this is Ye Qiu, she is the one who commissioned us, and she had her luck absorbed by a little ghost, Senior Brother, can you tell anything from this?"

Li Yiming stared at Ye Qiu for a long while and then shook his head: "We’d better go back and ask Master, and furthermore, Daoist Miao Ran has also come."

"It even alarmed her?" Li Yizhen was surprised.

"There’s no choice, after all, it’s been decades since anyone has seen such a case of stealing people’s luck. You know what happened to Daoist Miao Ran’s family back then. She has been practicing Daoist skills for years to find out the mastermind behind it."

After hearing this, Li Yizhen explained to Ye Qiu: "Daoist Miao Ran is a very powerful elder. Back then, her family’s luck was completely drained. If it weren’t for a treasure she had to protect her, she might not have survived either. Daoist Miao Ran’s spell skills are very high, with her help we should have no problem."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu became very interested in this Daoist Miao Ran and wondered if she had the talent to be noticed by such an individual.

The front courtyard of the temple was bustling with tourists and filled with clouds of incense, but the back courtyard was serene and peaceful, it was hard to imagine such a pure land existed amidst the bustling city.

"Come in." Just as they arrived, a full-bodied voice came from inside the room.

"Master, Daoist Miao Ran." Li Yizhen and Li Yiming entered and respectfully saluted.

Ye Qiu saw before her a male and a female Daoist, both dressed in Daoist robes, exuding the aura of reclusive scholars. She respectfully greeted them: "Good day to you both, Daoists, I apologize for disturbing you today."

"Are you the one whose luck was absorbed?" The female Daoist looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

"Sister Miao Ran, did you see anything?"

"Her luck is extremely good, no wonder she caught someone’s eye." Daoist Miao Ran provided this answer, "Tell me about what happened that day when you ran into them."

"Yes." Ye Qiu nodded, not only recounting the events of that day but also mentioning Cheng Yixue’s strange behavior from before.

"Do you have that person’s birth date and time?"

"I only know they’re born on July 10th."

"And when is your birthday?"

"May 10th."

"Do your parents have any connection?"

"Yes, her mom was my dad’s first girlfriend."

"No wonder!" Daoist Miao Ran sighed softly.

"Junior Sister, is there something about these dates? I couldn’t figure it out." Daoist Li Shi asked in confusion.

"Their attributes are the same, just that one has the fate of a Heavenly Slaughter Star with a cut-off destiny, and the other has a fulfilled and prosperous life. I read your face, and you have already lent your luck to someone, your father should still have something in her mother’s possession, and she has given you things, right?"

"I don’t know about my father’s matters, but she indeed gave me many things; there was one day she insisted I give her something in return, I felt it was wrong, and didn’t give it."

"Luckily you didn’t, if you had, it would have meant giving her half your luck, it’s a very shameful exchange, deceiving the heavens!" Daoist Miao Ran said with anger, clearly this struck a nerve with her.

"Can the heavens be easily deceived like that?" Ye Qiu retorted incredulously.

"Of course, this is only a temporary measure, everything in the mortal world has its cause and effect, and though mortal matters can be concealed, accounts must be settled in the Underworld."

"But where do those who have suffered losses go to argue their case? This life was supposed to be theirs, but their fate is gone. Even if they are compensated in the next life, without memories, is that person still the same as before?" Ye Qiu was puzzled and disagreed, "Moreover, in the underworld do they not have stronger spells to deceive the Yin Cha? I’m not convinced!"

Daoist Miao Ran looked at Ye Qiu thoughtfully: "You make a valid point, which is why we need people like us to uphold justice."

"Can I?" Ye Qiu asked.

"What?" The three others were taken aback, except for Li Yizhen who turned her head helplessly, thinking Ye Qiu might at least proceed gradually, but didn’t expect her to be so straightforward.

"I mean, can I follow the Daoist to study Daoist skills and become a Taoist?" Ye Qiu asked earnestly.

"This requires talent." Daoist Miao Ran said delicately after a moment’s pause,

Ye Qiu grinned: "I think I’m quite smart, let me try, I can pay tuition fees."

"Learning Daoist skills is tedious and exhausting."

"I never found martial arts training tiring."

"You know martial arts?"

"Yes." Li Yizhen spoke up, "She’s at least better than me."

"Oh?" Daoist Li Shi was intrigued, he knew his disciple’s capability, trained since childhood, could they be surpassed by an ordinary person?

One shouldn’t think entering a Taoist sect involves just chanting scriptures. Sometimes, facing powerful ghosts and monsters, strong martial arts skills are indispensable.

"Yiming, spar with our visitor, Master Ye, if you don’t mind."

"I don’t mind, assessments are normal."

Daoist Miao Ran frowned, if they acknowledged this as a test, wouldn’t passing mean admittance? But by then, the two were already poised for battle, nothing she could say would reverse it.

Never mind, she thought, let’s see how it goes, if there’s truly no talent, we’ll just let her read some Taoist Scripture to help her concentrate and calm her mind.

Although Li Yizhen had already set expectations, everyone thought Ye Qiu might have some foundation, they didn’t expect her to be this formidable, even the naturally talented Li Yiming couldn’t last ten moves against her!

"Master Ye’s movement technique is very peculiar." Li Shi noted the unusual, "Did you specially study under a master?"

"Not really, it’s not a particularly secret technique, if you’re interested, I can teach it to you."

Daoist Li Shi was very interested in this and decided to accept Ye Qiu as a disciple, after all, he noted Miao Ran didn’t appear very interested.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, Daoist Miao Ran interrupted: "Good foundation, no need for tuition, come in and formally become my disciple."

Daoist Li Shi opened his eyes wide in astonishment, was this really his usually cold and indifferent junior sister?

Li Yizhen gave Ye Qiu a thumbs-up, thinking she was incredible for actually securing the apprenticeship!

"So, will I be your senior sister? Please take care of me." Ye Qiu beamed brightly, though her amazement was not over yet, as she not only possessed high martial prowess but also a natural talent in learning Daoist skills.
