Chongjiu gave Yuchuan a wink and then went straight to the rear peak.

Before leaving, he left a message: "After you've finished speaking, remember to come and pay your respects to your grandmaster."

“Yes, Father.” Yu Chuan replied and looked at the Grand Elder. He and Yan Xi stayed behind and began to make up a story.

This little kid has it so tough; he has to start making up stories at such a young age.

These heartless parents don't care!

Yan Xi sat there smiling, munching on a pear, watching as a little spectator.

Finally, more and more people gathered around, all listening to the story.

As soon as Shu Jianyue arrived at the back peak, she saw Gu Yunxiao standing there, smiling at her.

"Master, your disciple has returned."

Gu Yun smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's good that you're back."

"This is my disciple, Wuyan."

"Wuyan greets Grandmaster."

Wu Yan immediately got off the ground and performed a grand salute, saying, "Wu Yan greets Grandmaster, may Grandmaster be well."

"Alright, this is a gift from your grandmaster. Please accept it." This was truly an unexpected surprise; he hadn't prepared anything. Fortunately, he still had some good things in his storage ring.

Wu Yan accepted the gift with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Grandmaster."

Gu Yunxiao helped him up, then looked at Chong Jiu who had followed and asked, "Is this the father of Yu'er and Xi Xi?"

"Yes, his name is Chong Jiu." She couldn't say anything more.

Gu Yun smiled without asking, "Sit down, tell me about the interesting things that happened to you in the Central Spirit Domain."

Shu Jianyue picked out what she could talk about and began to recount it, emphasizing that Gong Chengxi had been selected by Shengshi Academy.

Wu Yan sat quietly to the side.

Chong Jiu sat next to Shu Jianyue, brewing them spiritual tea.

Knowing that Shu Jianyue didn't like tea, he also prepared a small amount of fruit juice.

One cup was given to Shu Jianyue, and the other was handed to Wuyan.

Wu Yan accepted the gift with both hands and thanked him, "Thank you, Master."

"Cough cough..." It had been so long since Shu Jianyue had choked, and this time it was really painful.

"Wuyan, just call him Uncle-Master."

Calling someone "Master" or something like that is really strange.

Chong Jiu patted her back and nodded with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you call me, whatever you like."

Gu Yun smiled upon seeing this.

Although he had only been teaching this disciple for a short time, he still cared deeply about her affairs.

Even though this man is already the father of the child, they can still separate if they are not compatible.

Therefore, he has been observing the heavy moxibustion.

He was cold and aloof, yet he revealed tenderness when he was with Shu Jianyue.

He was aloof, yet revealed warmth when looking at Shu Jianyue.

He considers them halfway through; the other half still needs to be assessed.

"By the way, I heard that a stream of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in the Central Spirit Realm a while ago. Cultivators who practiced there could break through one after another in no time. You were there at the time, do you know what happened?"

Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That flow of spiritual energy was actually caused by the sudden surge of spiritual energy when Yu'er broke through, before the tribulation lightning descended."

“When spiritual energy gathers in one place, it will naturally produce different effects.”

Gu Yunxiao knew those two children were unusual, but she didn't expect them to be this unusual.

Shu Jianyue's talent is quite good, it can be said to be outstanding in the ten domains, but it is not to this extent, which can only mean that the child's father is very unusual.

Otherwise, where would the children have inherited their talents? Moreover, he could also see that the children's bloodline was extraordinary.

He's so young, yet he's already broken through to the Golden Core stage.

He was thinking that Yu Chuan had broken through to the Golden Core stage, while Shu Jianyue assumed that he knew that Yu Chuan had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he didn't explain much. As a result, when he finally found out, he glared at Shu Jianyue for a whole month.

Gu Yunxiao thought to himself, since it was the flow of spiritual energy caused by Yu Chuan's breakthrough that could allow someone to break through quickly, wouldn't he be a coveted spiritual artifact?

"Can we handle the aftermath? The children are still young; we can't afford to let anyone target them."

Shu Jianyue shook her head, "No one will be watching. Yu'er is very smart. No one knows that the flow of spiritual energy was caused by him."

"Those who know are all our own people."

There was also an unknown old man, but he had already returned to the Upper Realm.

Gu Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "How is your cultivation now? Don't slack off just because you're going to participate in the competition."

Ever since Shu Jianyue said that the flow of spiritual energy was caused by Yu Chuan, Chong Jiu had been secretly observing Gu Yunxiao. Seeing him like this, he finally looked away.

After all, he was Shu Jianyue's master, and he didn't want him to come up here looking for death.

Shu Jianyue smiled and shook her head, "No, I can't slack off even if I wanted to."

Eating more apples, bananas, pears, etc. can help you break through, so how can you slack off?

"That's good." Gu Yun smiled and nodded, then picked up the spirit tea and took a sip.

He then raised an eyebrow and looked at Chong Jiu, "This spiritual tea?"

“Yes, this is the finest of the Divine Continent. If Master likes it, this jar will be given to you.” As Chong Jiu spoke, he pushed the jar of spirit tea, worth tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, in front of Gu Yunxiao.

To him, it was just a can of spiritual tea; he had several more cans in his storage space.

But Gu Yunxiao is different; he has never tasted the top-quality Shenzhou liquor, he has only heard of it.

He had only asked a question because he felt that this spiritual tea was much more spiritually potent than other spiritual teas and had a very unique flavor.

I never imagined this was the legendary top-tier institution in China!

It's still the best of China!

He would have boasted for a long time if he had gotten just two pieces of spirit tea leaves, but now he has a whole jar!

Gu Yunxiao felt like she was getting carried away.

Even people in China might not be able to afford the finest drinks in China.

After regaining his senses, he quickly put away the jar of the finest Shenzhou liquor. "Since my son-in-law is so respectful, I won't stand on ceremony."

"Master, please feel free to do as you please. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll find more for you," Chong Jiu said with a faint smile.
