[Holy crap! Sixth brother! You scared me to death!]

Patting her own heart, and looking at her angry and embarrassed master, Qiyue's mind wandered.

[Tsk, did someone play with him and then throw him away? And was he even a guy?]

I don't know if there were any other people or things present at the time; it wouldn't be good if others found out.

Thinking about it this way, Qiyue was still a little worried, while Lou Xuanzhi was stunned when he heard Qiyue's thoughts, and a trace of panic flashed through his heart.

Damn it! I was so flustered and embarrassed that I didn't even notice if anyone was there. Could it be? Even though the little guy "said" he was just a whetstone, he couldn't be that unlucky, could he?

Lou Xuanzhi tensed up, his pupils contracted, and he began frantically recalling the scene in his mind. After confirming it several times, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew! He, a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, was almost scared to death by his own actions!

Fortunately, it has been confirmed that there were no other people or things hiding in the shadows at the time.

However, why doesn't the little guy say what it is? Could it be that he doesn't want to tell him, or that he has some unspeakable secret? No, that doesn't make sense either. Even if he doesn't want to say it, if he thinks about it in his heart, he should know what it is.

But the little guy didn't reveal anything about why he was so stubborn.

Could it be that this mind-reading ability that appeared out of nowhere has failed? No way! No way!

Lou Xuanzhi's eyes dimmed. He appeared unfathomable on the surface, but he was actually panicking inside. If he really couldn't hear the little guy's thoughts anymore, he couldn't keep following that lucky person forever, could he?

Although it's possible, he's so powerful. What if that idiot in the Heavenly Dao thinks he's a threat to the person with good fortune and makes him fall uncontrollably in love with them?

The heavenly lightning and that indescribable event from last time seemed like they had just happened, and Lou Xuanzhi became increasingly panicked.

Just then, Qiyue spoke up: "That thing has no exact name, and I don't know it either. If there is any way to resist it, there is only one: to be with your beloved. Because this thing cannot affect people who are in love with each other. Otherwise, as long as you get within ten meters of him, it will..."

Qiyue didn't say anything more after that.

Lou Xuanzhi was speechless. Thinking of his own embarrassment when facing that thing, he felt powerless for the first time and waved his hand to dismiss Qiyue.

But as he heard Qiyue's footsteps leaving, he suddenly remembered something and called out to her, his cold and handsome face showing an unyielding expression.

"The matter I asked you today must not be told to anyone else, not even a third party."

Qiyue paused, a smile playing on her lips. She hadn't expected her cheap master to have something to fear, and to be so proud of it. She put away her smile, turned around, and said calmly, "Yes."

"Okay, go down."

Qiyue turned around and disappeared in a flash.

Watching Qiyue's departing figure, Lou Xuanzhi sat down and fell into deep thought.

His beloved? He had never experienced any mortal love in his life of pursuing immortality and seeking the Dao. Thinking of what the little guy had revealed about him, the person of destiny, and Xi'er, he felt his temples throbbing.

After leaving the cheap master, Qiyue immediately went to the alchemy pavilion, where she happened to meet Ji Su, whose face was covered in soot and whose hair was in a mess because the alchemy furnace had exploded and she hadn't had time to use a cleaning spell.

Seeing Qiyue return, Ji Su's eyes were filled with the panic of a young boy. He wanted to find a place to hide and clean himself up before paying his respects to his junior uncle. But when he saw Qiyue, his eyes lit up and he walked towards him with a faint smile on his peach-like face.

He blushed with embarrassment and shyness, his ears turning red as he said, "Junior Uncle."

As he spoke, Ji Su kept his head down, afraid that Qi Yue would see his disheveled appearance and regret helping him join the sect and become an apprentice. It had been almost a year, and the alchemy furnace was still exploding.

Her face turned even redder, and her eyes became watery with discomfort.

Qiyue was unaware of Ji Su's thoughts. Seeing Ji Su lower his head, she bent down and peered into the boy's watery eyes and slightly sad face.

She felt that the child looked pitiful at that moment, like a wronged little puppy. She lifted his chin with her hand, and then gently lifted his head with a cleansing spell to restore Ji Su to his original state. She patted his head comfortingly.

Remembering her mother's instructions, she took the bundle out of her spatial ring and handed it to the child in front of her.

"This is what your mother asked me to bring you. There's some food inside. She asked me to tell you not to worry, she's focusing on her cultivation."

"Thank you, Junior Uncle." Ji Su looked at Qi Yue with big, moist eyes full of gratitude. He knew that Junior Uncle must have been worried that he would worry about his mother, so he specially went to see her for him.

Junior Uncle is so nice... and so handsome too...

Looking at Qiyue, Ji Su dared not look her in the eye, but her small face was full of determination: "Junior Martial Aunt, don't worry, Master and I are already experimenting with the pill you mentioned to Master!"

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and mustered her courage to look at Qiyue obediently, her eyes full of gentle smiles.

Qiyue couldn't help but pinch Ji Su's cheek: "So, the reason you exploded the furnace just now was because you were experimenting with that! Perfect timing, I bought some herbs and want to try refining a low-grade first-rank pill. Could you help me find my senior brother to come and check it out?"

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Ji Su immediately ran happily to find Yun Huai, a super happy smile on his face. This was the first time in so long that his junior uncle had asked him for help, and he would definitely complete the task!

Little did he know that as soon as he left, Qiyue began to add the herbs in the correct quantities and order, just as the book had instructed, and started the refining process, without waiting for him to find Yun Huai.
