Yang Yun happily returned to the courtyard the Fang family had prepared for him. Upon seeing the people in the courtyard, he immediately jumped up, "Mother, when did you come back?"

Yang Yun's mother, Fang Qianxun, is a first-level Nascent Soul cultivator and currently works as a teacher at the Shengshi Academy in Bahuang Hongcheng.

Fang Qianxun looked at him and smiled, "Since I had the opportunity to come down with the elders to select disciples this time, I naturally had to come and see how my son is doing."

"Yun'er, how have you been lately?"

Yang Yun smiled and nodded, "Very good. Sometimes I stay in the Central Spirit Domain and sometimes I stay in the Holy Star Sect. They have given me the best resources."

Fang Qianxun frowned and said, "Forget about the resources from the Holy Star Sect, we've given you all the resources from the Fang family, so how come you're still only at the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Yang Yun pouted and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I have a top-grade spiritual vein, but I only have a green one."

Fang Qianxun sighed, "It's not bad. Your father is also a green-grade, but he worked very hard back then, otherwise I wouldn't have followed him. But for some reason, he stopped progressing."

Yang Yun rolled her eyes and said, "He must have used something back then, which is why he improved so quickly."

"Just like the grandmaster of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage before, but after going away for a while, she broke through to the Golden Core stage when she came back, and is still at the third level of the Golden Core stage."

"Mother, don't you think this is strange?"

"Really?" Fang Qianxun pondered.

Could it be that Yang Rui ate something back then that allowed him to break through to the Golden Core stage at the age of fifty?

"Who is that grandmaster of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect? If he is a grandmaster, how come he is only at the Golden Core stage?"

"Hey, her name is Shu Jianyue, and she's only a teenager. I don't know why the Primordial Ancestor took a liking to her. He accepted her as his last disciple when he recruited disciples this year, so naturally she has a very high seniority as soon as she entered the sect." Thinking of the slap she had given him before, he continued to add fuel to the fire, "She's really arrogant now. Relying on her high seniority, she's bullied a lot of people."

Fang Qianxun immediately looked at him, "What, did she bully you?"

Yang Yun immediately nodded, "That's right, she knows I'm the Fang family's grandson, but she still doesn't respect me."

"That's really arrogant. Since she's a newcomer to the sect, she'll definitely participate in this competition." To suddenly reach the Golden Core stage at such a young age, if it weren't for other factors, she would indeed be a very promising talent.

But even the best seedlings can't compare to her Yun'er.

"Don't worry, Yun'er, Mother will find out the truth about this matter. No one can take Yun'er's things away."

"Our academy only accepts three disciples for these competitions, so Yun'er, you must perform well."

Even if you are a teacher in my college, you can only recommend me at most, but I can't admit you directly.

Yang Yun nodded immediately, "Mother, don't worry, I will. I've always wanted to stay by your side. Now that I have this opportunity, how could I give it up?"

"Very good, I'll go talk to the elder about this Shu Jianyue matter and tell him to be careful. You focus on your cultivation." Fang Qianxun finished speaking, hugged him, and left.

As soon as Yang Yun left, her bright smile turned sinister. "Hmph, Shu Jianyue, you're no match for me."

Shu Jianyue sneezed and muttered, "Who's insulting me?"

"I think someone is trying to scheme against you." Chong Jiu walked in and smoothed her disheveled hair.

Shu Jianyue immediately stepped back, "What are you doing?"

Zhong Jiu said helplessly, "Let me fix your hair, it's a mess."

"No need, I can do it myself." Shu Jianyue immediately untied her hair and tied it into a high ponytail.

Chongjiu discovered that she seemed to be gradually becoming immune to her face.

Why have you always been so resistant to me?

"If you're afraid I'll take the children away, don't worry, I won't." What I want to take away is you.

Shu Jianyue rolled her eyes at him, "You can't take it away from me."

"Then what are you worried about?" Chong Jiu sat down next to her.

Shu Jianyue moved to the side. "I wasn't worried. This is just a natural habit. I'm not used to people getting too close to me." She's also not used to having too much contact with others.

This is a habit formed in the end times.

In the end, they still managed to get tricked.

"It's been so long, and you still haven't gotten used to it? Besides, am I someone else? Hmm..." Chong Jiu's last "hmm" was quite magnetic.

Shu Jianyue's heart skipped a beat. "You, you're nobody to me, so what are you if not someone else?"

“I’m the father of your child,” Chong Jiu continued to tempt him.

Shu Jianyue pushed him away, "He's not my father."

The heavy moxibustion made her almost turn pale with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Shu Jianyue, do you want to anger me to death so you can inherit my estate?"

Shu Jianyue's eyes lit up. "Is that okay?"

He is the son of the Two Saints of Yin and Yang, so he must have a lot of things.

The veins on Chong Jiu's forehead throbbed; he realized this man had a knack for driving him crazy.

"You're nobody to me, do you think this is okay?"

Shu Jianyue pouted, "Do you think I care..."

Chong Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but pull her into his arms. "Shu Jianyue, was your mouth born to annoy me?"

"You're overthinking it. You didn't even know where I was when I was born." Shu Jianyue said, struggling forcefully, but found it was no use.

This man is incredibly strong!

Chong Jiu sneered, "Heh, I don't think much. I just want to know, did you really not notice at all that I have feelings for you?"

"Huh?" Shu Jianyue stopped struggling and looked at him.

She saw him staring intently at her, his eyes filled with an affection she had never seen before.

I was stunned.

*Slap...* Shu Jianyue slapped Chong Jiu's forehead with her palm. "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Heavily moxibusted his molars, "Shu Jianyue..."

Unable to contain her anger, she simply shut that infuriating mouth.

"Uh..." Shu Jianyue was truly bewildered by him.

"Mom, Xixi and I saw... Wow..." Yuchuan ran in and saw the two kissing. His eyes widened, but he just wouldn't look away.

Upon seeing this, Chaotian immediately led him out, saying, "Young Master, you mustn't look at this."

"Why?" Yu Chuan looked at him with a blank expression.

"Because you are not an adult yet."

Shu Jianyue pushed him away forcefully, glaring at him and saying, "What are you doing? Oh no, Yu'er will misunderstand."

Chong Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What did he misunderstand?"

"Misunderstanding this?" he said, kissing her lips again.

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. "Don't think that just because you're pretty, I won't touch you. If you piss me off, I'll make you rubbed into the ground."

"Oh, then I have to kiss you enough, otherwise I'll be at a huge loss." Chong Jiu kissed her again.

This time, it wasn't just a simple taste; I went deeper into the subject.

Shu Jianyue went limp in his arms.

Chong Jiu smiled slightly; she didn't push him away, which suggests she did it on purpose.

Shu Jianyue was inwardly cursing herself for being so spineless, actually losing to a kiss.
