"Is your sect really on Mount Emei?" Lin Xi couldn’t help but ask.
Princess Consort Le nodded, "Yes, it’s been on Mount Emei all along."
"There’s probably a legacy of over two thousand years!"
Lin Xi was a bit startled, is it really true?
So in the novels, were they talking about real events?
As for how the novelist knew, he speculated that perhaps the first one who conceived the story came from their sect.
That’s possible!
Then, do some other major sects mentioned in novels actually exist?
He has some doubts about that.
Maybe those are depicted by disciples from those sects, who are skilled writers or have ideas, portraying their sects in novels.
It’s not an impossible scenario.
Of course, hardly anyone actually believes it.
Brilliant!
He couldn’t help but praise inwardly.
If that’s really the case, then these sects are quite clever.
After all, they didn’t specifically intervene, just let the novels evolve.
Gradually, it became fictional.
Ultimately, with the array concealing it, ordinary people, or even not-so-ordinary people, wouldn’t find the Secret Realm.
However, all these are just his conjectures.
Then he couldn’t help but ask again, "Is your sect called the Emei Sect?"
"In the sect, there are only women, not a single man!"
"Also, how do you keep the sect going, considering there are no men?"
These questions made Princess Consort Le smile.
She replied, "What you said is partly right and partly wrong."
"Firstly, our sect is not called the Emei Sect, the ones mentioned in novels are false."
"But you got one thing right, which is that our sect, apart from Le Tian, consists entirely of women."
"Now, with Le Tian gone, it’s indeed all women."
At this point, she paused again and continued, "As for how we continue the legacy, it’s actually quite simple."
"In the Secret Realm, we are not the only sect, given its vast size; there are many places with quite a few ordinary people, and even some small sects, though not very powerful."
"But we allow them to exist."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi understood.
It seems most of their disciples come from those ordinary people.
Another point, he still had some doubts and couldn’t help but ask again, "Then do the women in your sect not have children?"
"Or is it forbidden by the sect?"
At this time, Princess Consort Le couldn’t help but glance at him with a little amusement and replied, "It seems you were quite influenced by the novels."
"Firstly, our sect does not forbid disciples from getting married, but if someone wishes to marry, they must leave the sect voluntarily."
"There’s no need to abolish one’s martial arts or expel them from the sect."
"One thing the novels did get right is that most of us have a rather unfriendly attitude towards men."
"We believe men are liars, all bad people."
Lin Xi, "....."
Haha!
Overall, it doesn’t differ much from how it’s depicted in the novels.
In the novels, it often says the same.
Or perhaps, how is this different from a nunnery?
Well, he didn’t say any of this aloud.
Otherwise, they’d probably be unable to continue the conversation.
As for the novels, Lin Xi still had extreme doubts that the person who originally fictionalized the Mount Emei sect was likely a former disciple of Princess Consort Le’s sect.
Regarding some differences.
There are two reasons: the first is that subsequent authors continuously fictionalized and refined, leading to distortion.
The second reason is that the writer intentionally created errors from the start.
