Feng Xiao looked at Qi Yu with a troubled expression and said, "Xiao Yu, all the clothes you picked out for me are so beautiful, I don't know which one to wear."
"...You should just stay naked."
Feng Xiao's eyes lit up. "Does Xiao Yu like seeing me without clothes on?"
"..." She was speechless.
Qi Yu's communication jade talisman suddenly lit up. She numbly shifted her gaze away from Feng Xiao, took a deep breath, and activated the communication jade talisman.
The above is the message that Venerable Canglang sent to her.
“A disciple from Xingxing Peak has gone missing and we need someone to investigate. I’ve spoken to Fairy Fanglin and asked you to come along. We’ll meet at the plaza outside the sect and set off immediately.”
Qi Yu frowned, turned around and quickly left the bamboo building.
Feng Xiao, having lost his object of admiration for the peacock spreading its tail feathers, hurriedly transformed into his original form and caught up with Qi Yu.
Without turning her head, Qi Yu caught the white bird flying towards her precisely and put it into her bosom.
When she arrived outside the sect, a group of people had already gathered in the square.
The person in the lead was none other than Yan Shi.
He looked rather unwell, and without exchanging pleasantries with Qi Yu who had arrived late, he took out a flying artifact from his robes and beckoned for everyone to get on.
The flying artifact, filled with people, slowly floated into the air and then quickly flew in one direction.
Yan Shi said, "Yesterday, Xingxing Peak disciple Aman led five medical cultivators to Yushan Village in Yucheng for a free clinic. According to disciple Axiu, the communication jade talismans of the six disciples who went to the clinic did not respond. Therefore, the elders sent us to Yushan Village to investigate. Since you are from different peaks, you are probably not familiar with each other. Let me introduce myself first."
He spoke first: "My name is Yan Shi, a disciple of Venerable Wanshan of Xingqi Peak, with the cultivation of the early Golden Core stage and the spiritual root of thunder and fire."
Qi Yu glanced at him with some surprise. She hadn't expected that Yan Shi, who had been exiled to the Treasure Pavilion in the Martial City of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, thousands of miles away, and who looked like just an ordinary handyman disciple, was actually a Venerable's personal disciple.
Moreover, he has already reached the Golden Core stage.
Then, each person introduced themselves.
"Chen Buming, disciple of Fairy Fanglin, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, Wood and Water Spiritual Roots."
"He Miao, a disciple personally taught by Fairy Sword Heart, is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and possesses a Metal-Water Spiritual Root."
"Wu Shuyi, a disciple personally taught by Fairy Nuanyan, is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and possesses earth and fire spiritual roots."
This small team, including Qi Yu, has a total of five people.
Three of them passed the secret realm trial and joined the Flying Star Sect.
The group looked at Qi Yu, and the girl named Wu Shuyi glanced at Qi Yu sideways, seemingly waiting to see how she would introduce herself.
Qi Yu, under the gazes of the crowd, calmly said, "Yu Shengyan, mid-Foundation Establishment stage, five spiritual roots."
Upon hearing those last three words, Wu Shuyi's lips curled into a disdainful smile. Holding a small tiger-like beast in her arms, she said sarcastically, "Some people are truly skilled. Not only do they attract the sect leader's favor, but they can also immediately hook up with a newly arrived immortal. It's truly admirable."
Her words were veiled and insinuating. Although she did not explicitly name who she was referring to, most of the people present immediately understood who she was talking about after hearing the words "Sect Leader" and "Immortal Venerable".
After all, Qi Yu's intimate interaction with the newly arrived Venerable Xiao Feng at the Spirit Dining Hall had quickly spread throughout the Flying Star Sect.
Yan Shi remained silent with a cold expression.
Dressed in a light green dress, He Miao focused intently on wiping the long sword in her hand, as if nothing in the world could distract her.
Only Chen Buming, who looked somewhat simple-minded, asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Wu Shuyi stroked the fur of the tiger cub in her arms, smiling without saying a word.
Qi Yu pinched the white bird in her arms expressionlessly, touching and pinching it as if she were going to pluck its feathers.
Feng Xiao: "..."
Qi Yu said with a forced smile, "The fate of our fellow disciples in Yushan Village is still unknown, yet some people only know how to smear others. I wonder if it's the water they're trying to smear that's dirty, or their heart."
"Besides," she shrugged, then changed the subject, "I didn't do anything, but some people just have a soft spot for me, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Qi Yu looked both annoyed and sweet, which made Wu Shuyi secretly grit her teeth.
She exhaled a breath from her nose, her gaze catching the quail-like white bird in Qi Yu's arms. As if seizing an opportunity, she immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, what kind of bird is that in your arms? It looks delicious. My cub has a poor appetite today. This bird doesn't look expensive. Why don't you name a price and sell it to me?"
Qi Yu: "..."
The white bird in her arms raised its head upon hearing this, its crimson eyes flashing with fire. It glanced coldly at Wu Shuyi, then stared at the tiger cub for a moment.
The tiger cub felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, its whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. The more it trembled, the more violently it shook, until its eyes rolled back and it fainted.
Wu Shuyi stood up in surprise, looked at the unconscious Hu Zai, then at the composed Qi Yu, and angrily said, "What did you do?!"
Qi Yu leisurely stroked the bird's feathers, and asked in surprise, "What did I do? I didn't do anything!"
Wu Shuyi was about to argue further when Yan Shi impatiently said, "Stop it, all of you. Instead of arguing, focus on improving your own strength. Don't make a scene here, or you'll be finished when you actually face an enemy."
Wu Shuyi reluctantly shut her mouth, still glaring fiercely at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu ignored him, looked away, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.
Yan Shi is right; strength is the only true measure of success.
Since the missing Aman and the others were all medical cultivators, and their cultivation levels were mostly not high, as they were only outer disciples of the Flying Star Sect, it was initially determined that they were either kidnapped or had encountered a chaotic secret realm that would randomly suck people in.
