The next day, sects of all sizes arrived at the Tengyun Gathering one after another, and the Tengyun Gathering was about to officially begin.

That morning, Shu Lan got up early and put on her elder's uniform. While getting dressed, Shu Lan thought about how Qin An had lingered in her room for a long time last night before reluctantly leaving, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

It's like he can just have whatever he wants. Just as Shu Lan was thinking about Qin An, Qin An pushed the door open and came in.

At this moment, Shu Lan's hair was not yet tied up, and her long black hair obediently fell beside her ears and behind her, adding a touch of languidness to her whole being.

Since Qin An had his own room, he had rarely seen his master brother with his hair down. For a moment, Qin An was stunned.

Qin An didn't realize what was happening until he saw his master reach for a comb. Looking at the comb on the dressing table, Qin An recalled the scene of his master tying his hair, and an idea flashed through his mind. When he thought of this, his heart surprisingly quickened slightly.

Qin An stepped forward, picked up the comb, and, to Shu Lan's surprise, helped her sit down in front of the dressing mirror. "Master, you've always been the one to tie my hair. Now, I want to tie your hair too."

Hearing Qin An's words, Shu Lan's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Little An is so thoughtful." So, Shu Lan sat upright in front of the mirror and silently allowed Qin An to tie her hair up.

Qin An carefully cradled Shu Lan's hair, finding his master's hair incredibly smooth, like silk. The strands were exceptionally soft; it was said that soft-haired people had soft hearts, and wasn't his master exactly that kind of person?

As Qin An combed his hair, his mind was racing.

And so, Qin An meticulously tied up all of Shu Lan's hair. Finally, Qin An styled Shu Lan's hair into a topknot, leaving the rest of her hair to fall freely down her back. Then, Qin An finally placed a silver crown on Shu Lan's head and secured it with a silver hairpin.

After he finished washing and grooming, Qin An admired Shu Lan's appearance. Shu Lan was wearing a white robe with gold trim and auspicious cloud patterns. Her handsome face was bathed in the morning sunlight, and her peach blossom eyes were looking at him softly. How could one word describe her beauty?

Looking at the rare and beautiful scenery before him, Qin An suddenly felt a pang of regret. He didn't want to show everyone his beautiful master; instead, he wanted to...hide him. Realizing what he was thinking, Qin An quickly shook his head. What outrageous things were he thinking?! Qin An's ears suddenly felt hot.

"Alright, let's go." Shu Lan took Qin An's hand and walked out of the room.

The scene at the Tengyun Gathering was packed with people, with sects of all sizes greeting each other and exchanging pleasantries, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Senior Brother." When Shu Lan and Qin An appeared at the Tengyun Gathering, everyone's eyes lit up. Some female cultivators even blushed with excitement, and some even had difficulty breathing, feeling like they could faint at any moment.

What a captivating sight it was! Shu Lan's fair and smooth face revealed a sharp and handsome features; his gentle peach blossom eyes shone with a mesmerizing luster, adding a touch of softness to his entire being.

His sword-like eyebrows, high-bridged nose, and exquisitely shaped lips all exuded nobility and elegance. A few strands of black hair framing his face made it even more perfect. The blue-green magnolia mark between his brows added a touch of mystery to his entire being. Dressed in white, he possessed an ethereal and otherworldly air.

Because Shu Lan is still young, his face is somewhere between a young man and a teenager. He has the maturity of a young man and the naivety of a teenager. This makes everyone even more captivated, wishing they could keep watching this beautiful sight forever.

The disciples and elders of the Star River Sect were relatively calm, as they had already admired their grandmaster's astonishing good looks. It seemed their reaction wasn't as strong as others.

But the others were different; they had never seen such a beautiful person before. In an instant, the crowd erupted in excitement.

"It's simply..."

"It's simply indescribable!"

"He is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world!"

The praise and accolades from the crowd continued until Shu Lan reached Venerable Lieyang's side.

"Junior Brother, you look radiant today!" Venerable Lieyang said after looking Shu Lan up and down.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother." Shu Lan smiled, then looked at the noisy group of people, somewhat puzzled, "Senior Brother, what's going on with them...?"

"They're captivated by your beauty! I just heard someone say you're the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world! I must say, no wonder you're my junior brother. You got the title of the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world so easily." Venerable Lieyang looked at Shu Lan with a hint of teasing.

"Senior brother, please stop teasing your junior brother." Shu Lan was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Besides, shouldn't beauties be women? What right do I, a man, have to be called a beauty?"

“Then you’re wrong, junior brother,” Venerable Lieyang said with a grin. “Beauty doesn’t discriminate by gender! Both women and men can be called beautiful.”

"Senior brother, how long until the Cloud Soaring Gathering begins?" Shu Lan didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the subject and asked about other things.

"It'll be a while. Junior brother, would you like to go see my friends?" Venerable Lieyang extended an invitation to Shulan.

“Alright!” Shu Lan readily accepted Venerable Lieyang’s invitation. “Xiao An, come with me quickly.” Shu Lan turned her head and looked at Qin An, who was standing some distance behind her.

And what is Qin An doing now? Qin An is angry right now! He should have known that if his master's appearance were revealed, it would bewitch many people, but he didn't expect that his master's charm would be so great that it would bewitch everyone present!

Thinking of this, Qin An felt a pang of sadness. Why was it that his master brother was being shown to so many people? Qin An felt extremely awkward as everyone's gazes turned towards his master brother.

As he pondered, Qin An's pace gradually slowed, and he fell behind Shu Lan.

When Shu Lan called out to Qin An, he quickly responded and hurriedly followed in Shu Lan's footsteps.

Venerable Lieyang led Shulan to his friends and then introduced them to her one by one.

“You met this junior brother yesterday; he is Fellow Daoist Xiaoyaozi.”

"This is Fellow Daoist Yuqing, from the Cloud Mist Sect." An old man with a white beard waved to Shu Lan with a smile.

"Greetings, Brother Yuqing." Shu Lan bowed to the old man.

"This is Fellow Daoist Lingyun, from the Divine Concealment Sect." A middle-aged man with a black beard nodded without a smile.

"Greetings, Brother Lingyun." Shu Lan returned the greeting with a bow.

"Huh? You're Shu Lan? Brother Lieyang's junior brother?" Just then, a woman's voice came from not far away.
