While the sect leader was busy, Nian Wanzhou was chatting with Yuheng in the herb field.

Meanwhile, Wei Wenru and the others, under the guidance of the Grand Elder, have begun the most rigorous training.

Since Wei Wenru had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and was now lagging behind her three junior brothers, she wasn't in a rush to cultivate. Instead, she chose to focus on consolidating her abilities, properly digesting all the energy she had recently absorbed, and transforming it into her own.

On the contrary, during this period, he got along very well with Song Yan and the others, and their relationship became increasingly deep.

Of course, it's related to Song Yan.

Lexi: Without her senior sister's love, she cried herself unconscious under a tree.

Zhao Zhishan remained a nobody and a lackey, following Wen Ru around every day, doing whatever she asked, occasionally taking care of the children, and playing with Nian Wanzhou.

They were having a great time.

But apart from cultivation, Song Yan devoted all his attention to Wei Wenru.

This is such a rare opportunity to stay in the sect and cultivate together. I can see you every day, so I must make the most of it!

Moreover, although Wei Wenru's attitude towards him was still somewhat aloof, it was much better than before. It was a qualitative breakthrough; at least she was willing to openly accept his kindness, hehehe!

Song Yan was making his own plans, intending to strike while the iron was hot and get his senior sister's attention, but he overlooked one fact.

That is, between him and Wei Wenru, there are two other people.

These two are Zhao Zhishan, the sidekick, and Le Xi, the silly girl vying for her senior sister's affections.

They saw through Song Yan's thoughts.

Zhao Zhishan, Le Xi, and everyone in the sect knew that the senior brother had been in love with the senior sister for a very long time, but the two of them had not yet made their relationship public.

They had considered matchmaking (except for Le Xi), but they all knew very well that, given their senior sister's personality, she would never allow them to act recklessly.

Therefore, they dared not speak carelessly.

But now, it seems that the senior sister has finally figured it out, but only a little bit.

They remained peaceful as always, with nothing happening. Zhao Zhishan felt that this couldn't go on, but there was nothing he could do.

unless……

Junior sister takes charge.

Zhao Zhishan's gaze fell on Le Xi.

Lexi immediately understood his implication, so she pretended to be completely unaware, turned around and left without even glancing at him.

Zhao Zhishan's lips twitched a few times; this second senior brother was still as dog-like as ever.

Zhao Zhishan looked at Song Yan, whose gaze kept lingering on Wei Wenru, as if afraid others wouldn't notice...

Zhao Zhishan sighed inwardly.

Forget it, why should he bother thinking about these things? It doesn't matter whether the senior brother succeeds or not!

If it succeeds, that would be an incredibly wonderful thing.

Since it didn't work out, then the eldest sister can be beautiful on her own! Anyway, no one will lose anything.

Ugh, this is so annoying.

Zhao Zhishan shook his head in annoyance, no longer dwelling on the problem, and instead focused intently on his cultivation.

Before he knew it, a month had passed, and Song Yan finally reached his cultivation bottleneck.

Before this, he had been at the peak of the Golden Core stage and hadn't moved at all. Now, he had finally waited for the moment when things would start to loosen up.

Finally, he was about to break through his cultivation level and reach the same level as his senior sister, the Nascent Soul stage!

But his senior sister didn't come to be with him, nor did she say a word of encouragement to him.

Song Yan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and loss.
