There was no movement from behind, so Qi Yu turned her head and looked at Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao smiled, turned to face her, and said, "I remembered something trivial. Xiao Yu is angry. Didn't I tell you everything?"

"I will tell you anything Xiaoyu wants to know, but it may make you feel bad."

After all, it was not a pleasant memory.

A dark glint flashed in Qi Yu's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "That's not necessary. I just want to know, why are you doing this?"

She raised her head, looked at Feng Xiao, and said, "From beginning to end, I don't believe I've done anything that would make you feel this way, have I?"

"How could that be?" Feng Xiao reached out and tucked Qi Yu's slightly disheveled hair behind her ear. "If it weren't for Xiao Yu, I'm afraid I would still be drinking that filthy pool water right now. I have no way to repay Xiao Yu's kindness, so I can only offer myself to her."

Qi Yu was speechless. She slapped his hand away and said, "Is this all you want? You want to repay me with your body? Look at how worthless you are. You're a phoenix, okay? Can't you have some class?"

Feng Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "How much money does Xiao Yu want to offer for me? One hundred spirit stones? Or one thousand, or ten thousand?"

Qi Yu: "...I can only offer one low-grade spirit stone at most."

"Okay! Give it to me now?" Feng Xiao stretched out his hand, looking like he really wanted Qi Yu to give him spirit stones.

Qi Yu: "…………"

She took out a low-grade spirit stone from her storage ring and threw it into Feng Xiao's palm.

"Let's get this straight, I'm paying you to be my slave, so don't even think about slacking off."

Feng Xiao closed her hands, tightly gripping the white crystal, a gentle smile appearing in her eyes.

He said softly, "In that case, I belong to Xiaoyu."

Looking at him like this, Qi Yu felt a surge of warmth inexplicably welling up inside her.

She looked away somewhat awkwardly and said, "Alright, alright, now you have to do whatever I say."

"What are you saying, Xiaoyu? Haven't I been doing it all along?"

Qi Yu picked up his teacup, took another sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "Oh, so the first order is to keep your distance from me within the sect. Can you keep that?"

Feng Xiao paused, as if to say something, but Qi Yu immediately cut him off, threatening, "You just said you'd listen to me, and now you're going back on your word?"

The handsome young man, whose face resembled that of an immortal, sighed and nodded helplessly.

Qi Yu stood up and said as she walked, "Then I'll go find the sect leader to arrange a cave for you. I don't know what your previous identity was, but since you're going to stay in the Flying Star Sect now, it's best to get used to the environment so you won't get lost when you go out in the future."

Feng Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was a phoenix, so how could he be lost? But looking at the girl's slightly hurried back, he silently swallowed his words.

He opened his palm, looked at the faintly glowing spirit stone in his hand, and couldn't help but smile.

In those dark and hopeless days, the future in his dreams was like this small spiritual stone, guiding him not to be swallowed by the darkness and to avoid self-destruction in the mud at the bottom of the pool.

He looked up and watched the girl's figure disappear from sight, transforming into a white phoenix and chasing after her.

...

As soon as Qi Yu left the space, a miniature white phoenix hopped onto her shoulder and affectionately nuzzled her cheek.

Qi Yu: "?"

She yanked the phoenix flute, which had shrunk to just a little bit the size of a white bird, off and looked at him with a face full of question marks.

Feng Xiao's slightly innocent voice rang in her mind through the symbiotic contract.

"Xiaoyu only said to keep her distance from Immortal Venerable Xiaofeng, but I am just an ordinary white bird."

Qi Yu: "..."

She was speechless.

The phoenix flute flew away from her hand and then flew back to her shoulder, finding a comfortable spot to settle down.

Qi Yu, with a sullen face, knocked on Yun Gui's door.

Yun Gui opened the door, her face pale, without even glancing at Qi Yu, and turned to bury her face in the soft couch.

Qi Yu stared at him in horror, startled by Yun Gui's ghostly pale face.

Could it be that reinforcing that "forbidden area of ​​the sect" consumed too much spiritual energy, causing it to become so weak?

Qi Yu, in a display of blasphemous disrespect, tentatively asked, "Master, are you about to kick the bucket?"

With her head buried in the blanket, Yun Gui turned to Qi Yu and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't die for now."

Qi Yuxin said with a heavy heart, "Master, you must hold on! Master still... no, Xiuzhu, although he said you should die, it seems to me that he still really wants to see you."

Yun Gui buried her face in the blanket again, looking like she didn't want to talk.

Qi Yu coughed lightly and began to get down to business, "Master, since you've gone to such lengths to announce Xiao Feng's identity, shouldn't you also find him a decent place to live?"

Yun Gui's muffled voice came from under the thick blanket, "Isn't he living with you? It's such a waste to find him a place to stay."

"...Master, as a female cultivator, it's not really appropriate for someone to see Xiao Feng walking out of my residence, is it?"

After pondering for a moment, Yun Gui said, "Then let's build him a cave dwelling on Star Moon Peak."

He straightened up, took an object out of his sleeve, threw it to Qi Yu, and said, "Find a place, inject spiritual energy into it, and you can get this thing out."

Qi Yu looked at the thing in her hand that looked like a miniature house, bowed, and left.

Yun Gui's cave dwelling is on the mountaintop, and her little thatched hut is on the mountainside. To avoid suspicion, it would be better to set up Feng Xiao's residence at the foot of the mountain.

Qi Yu found an open space at the foot of the mountain and poured spiritual power into the toy-like magical artifact.
