Xiao Lin glanced at Lan Yingying subconsciously, then looked at Su Liyue with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why?"

Su Liyue smiled slightly. "Because her grandfather is the Grand Elder of the Backing Mountain Sect!"

"What?" Qin Feng and Fu Rang were all stunned, and then their eyes all turned to Lan Yingying.

At this moment, they finally understood why Lan Yingying, despite being seriously injured, was able to recover in a very short time and pass the trial.

It turns out she's actually the granddaughter of the Grand Elder of the Reliance Sect!

At this moment, Lan Yingying's face was extremely ugly. She did not expect that Su Liyue would expose her identity in public.

Doesn't that mean that in everyone's eyes, the reason she was able to pass the trial was not because of her strength, but because she had a powerful backer?

How could she possibly bear this?

However, due to Su Liyue's status, even though she had many grievances in her heart, she dared not express them.

I could only suppress my anger!

At this moment, Elder Lan Qianshan appeared beside Lan Yingying like a ghost, then looked at Su Liyue with a smile and said, "Junior Sister Su, please accept Yingying for my sake!"

"Qingyun Peak is too deserted. More people would make it more lively, right?"

Su Liyue glanced at Lan Qianshan and said teasingly, "You're my senior brother. If I were to accept Yingying as my wife, wouldn't that mess up the seniority?"

Lan Qianshan said dismissively, "Cultivators don't have so many rules."

"Besides, you don't need to take Yingying as your personal disciple; you can take her as your maid!"

Hearing Lan Qianshan's words, Su Liyue rolled her eyes speechlessly, then said, "Fine, for your sake, old man, I'll accept Yingying!"

"However, I will not take her as my disciple, nor do I need her as a maid, but I will teach her the cultivation techniques of Qingyun Peak!"

"We will train her in the same way as everyone else!"

Lan Qianshan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you so much, Junior Sister Su!"

Su Liyue didn't say anything more. She directly released a layer of invisible energy, lifting Qin Feng and his group, and flew towards the sky.

Soon, it disappeared into the night sky.

...

Qingyun Peak.

Su Liyue led Qin Feng and the others to land outside a bamboo house on the top of Qingyun Peak.

Then, Su Liyue turned to Qin Feng and the others and said, "There are no other houses on Qingyun Peak, so you will need to build them yourselves!"

"Apart from Qin Feng, everyone else can leave now. Come find me first thing tomorrow morning, and I will teach you the techniques of Qingyun Peak."

Lan Yingying and Fu Rang nodded slightly upon hearing this, then turned and left.

After Lan Yingying and Fu Rang and the others had walked away, Su Liyue turned her gaze to Xiao Lin and smiled. "Xiao Lin, perform the formal apprenticeship ceremony!"

Su Liyue was worried that Xiao Lin wouldn't know how to perform the formal apprenticeship ceremony, so she patiently explained it to him.

After listening to Su Liyue's story, Xiao Lin didn't immediately perform the formal apprenticeship ceremony. Instead, he looked up at Qin Feng and asked, "Dad, should I become her apprentice?"

Qin Feng was speechless. Now that things had come to this, did he have any other choice?

"Quickly pay your respects to your master!" Qin Feng said helplessly, unsure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for Xiao Lin to become Su Liyue's disciple.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Xiao Lin knelt down without hesitation and performed the proper greetings as Su Liyue had instructed.

After Xiao Lin finished bowing, Su Liyue nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xiao Lin, you go into the bamboo house first. I have something to say to your father alone!"

Xiao Lin looked at Su Liyue suspiciously, then nodded, pushed open the bamboo house door and went inside, closing the door behind him.

As Su Liyue watched the door close, she casually waved her hand, and a soundproof barrier enveloped her and Qin Feng.

Seeing this, Qin Feng frowned, thinking to himself, "Could it be that this woman has discovered that I've hidden my true cultivation level?"

Su Liyue looked at Qin Feng with a flickering gaze, and after a long while, she spoke. "Xiao Lin possesses a special physique, are you aware of that?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's heart sank. This woman had actually seen through Xiao Lin's Chaotic Demon God Body.

However, it's not surprising. Even Xi Ruyue, who was only at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm, could see it back then, let alone Su Liyue, who was infinitely close to the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm.

I wonder if any of the higher-ups in the Backing Mountain Sect, besides Su Liyue, also noticed it?

Qin Feng glanced at Su Liyue and replied calmly, "I don't know!"

"Senior, what kind of constitution does my son possess that has caught your eye?"

Su Liyue narrowed her eyes slightly, staring intently at Qin Feng's face for a long while before finally asking, "You really don't know?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly. "I really don't know!"

"I'm just a nobody at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and I know almost nothing about cultivation physiques!"

"Are you really only at the ninth level of Qi Refining?" Su Liyue's tone was heavy, full of doubt and distrust.

Qin Feng remained completely calm, his expression unchanged.

"Senior, I'm only around thirty years old. Is there any problem with reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining?" Qin Feng asked.

Su Liyue stared at Qin Feng with a smile for a while before looking away and nodding. "That's right, judging from your bone age, you're indeed only around thirty years old!"

"At this age, being able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining is already quite impressive!"

"However, I have already accepted your son as my personal disciple, so naturally I cannot accept you!"

"But don't worry, I will raise you like I would raise your son!"

A bitter smile appeared on Qin Feng's lips. "So, I'm benefiting from my son's fame?"

Su Liyue glanced at Qin Feng and said, "Your son possesses an extremely powerful physique—the Chaos Demon God Physique!"

At this point, Su Liyue's expression turned serious, and she continued, "If others knew about this constitution, it would cause a lot of trouble!"

"Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, I will not let Xiao Lin leave Qingyun Peak easily in the future!"

"But don't worry, I will find a way to help him hide his Chaos Demon God body. When that time comes, I won't restrict him anymore!"

"Qin Feng, I did this for Xiao Lin, and I hope you can understand!"

After a moment of silence, Qin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood Su Liyue's actions.

He knew the power of the Chaos Demon God Body, and he also understood that if this physique were exposed, it might bring danger to his son.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I understand your good intentions," Qin Feng said. "I completely trust you regarding Xiao Lin's safety."

“But I still hope he can have a normal environment to grow up in, instead of being trapped on Qingyun Peak all the time.”

Su Liyue pondered for a moment, then said, "What you say makes sense. If Xiao Lin wants to go out and play, I will personally accompany him!"

Qin Feng looked at Su Liyue. Judging from Su Liyue's words and actions so far, this woman seemed to genuinely care about Xiao Lin.

However, he cannot let his guard down; he still needs to take precautions.
