Chapter 26 explains why that man makes you think about him so much...
Xiao Yezi had already given them the order to leave, leaving Luo Rongrong and Qin Xuan speechless.
They clutched the gifts they had prepared for Xiao Yezi tightly in their hands, still unwilling to give up and trying to win her over.
"Junior Brother Xiaoye, please accept these as a gift from us."
However, Xiao Yezi didn't even turn her head. "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need these things. Please don't waste your time on this again."
After saying that, he leaped into the air and flew towards Qingfeng Ravine on the Soul-Destroying Lamp.
In the snow-covered courtyard, under the locust tree, the two girls stood there dumbfounded, their faces flushed with anger.
"This Xiao Ye is really heartless, not giving him even the slightest chance?"
Upon hearing Qin Xuan's words, Luo Rongrong said, "He wouldn't already have a cultivation partner, would he? Otherwise, why would he reject us so quickly?"
Qin Xuan and Luo Rongrong exchanged a glance, and then looked in the direction of Si Yao's bedroom at the same time.
Qin Xuan clicked her tongue: "That shouldn't be the case. In our Hehuan Sect, it's not like each person can only have one dual cultivation partner. As long as it can improve cultivation, what's wrong with having a few more dual cultivation partners?"
Luo Rongrong hugged the gift box tightly, "I'll try harder next time!"
Behind Fubuki-in.
Qingfengjian.
As soon as Xiao Yezi stepped into the bamboo house, he felt a headache and his whole body swayed uncontrollably.
He quickly grabbed the table in the room for support, but a surge of blood and qi welled up in his chest.
When I looked up again, I felt the scenery around me spinning and my vision became blurry.
“It seems…” Xiao Yezi took a step weakly, walked to the wooden bed, and then slowly sat cross-legged.
"Yan Ao..."
Xiao Yezi called out the spirit's name, and Yan Ao responded. Upon seeing Xiao Yezi's deathly pale face, he exclaimed in shock, "Your Excellency, what's wrong...?"
Xiao Yezi's breathing was weak, "He's about to wake up..."
He knew that his main soul should soon end its long slumber. And now, all Xiao Yezi could do was wait for another version of himself to take over this body.

In the Snowfall Courtyard, Si Yao had just taken a nap and woke up to find the courtyard quiet.
She rubbed her eyes and slowly walked into the courtyard, where she found the stone table filled with gift boxes of various shapes and colors.
Upon closer inspection, each gift box was labeled with the name of the person who gave the gift.
"Luo Rongrong, Qin Xuan, Fei Li, Lin Yuyao, Zhou Yuran..."
Si Yao read out the names one by one, "My disciple is so charming. She just came of age today, and so many young female disciples in the sect are vying to give her gifts."
However, she shook her head and sighed, "If they knew that Xiao Yezi hadn't actually cultivated the Jade Yang Scripture, wouldn't they be half disappointed?"
In the Joyful Union Sect, if a male cultivator doesn't practice the Jade Yang Scripture, he doesn't necessarily need to improve his cultivation through dual cultivation. However, even so, this doesn't extinguish the desires of female cultivators in the Joyful Union Sect. They can still engage in dual cultivation with such male cultivators, but after dual cultivation, it is the female cultivator who benefits more from the cultivation.
Therefore, Si Yao felt that even if the female disciples of the Hehuan Sect knew that Xiao Yezi did not cultivate the Jade Yang Scripture, his appearance alone would still attract many female disciples to try to take him as their own.
Thinking of this, Si Yao looked towards Xiao Yezi's room and found that the door was open.
She walked over, intending to tell him that the gift boxes sent by the female disciples were still in the courtyard.
But Xiao Yezi's room was empty.
"Where did this apprentice go?"
Recalling how Luo Rongrong and Qin Xuan had been giving Xiao Yezi flirtatious looks earlier, Si Yao smiled and asked, "Did you go on a date with those two girls?"
Si Yao returned to the locust tree. She had originally planned to grant Xiao Yezi a request today, or teach him a secret skill.
She pursed her lips. Now that her apprentice was gone, she suddenly felt like she had nothing to do.
Stepping out of the Snowfall Courtyard, Si Yao began to stroll around the sect. Since she had nothing to do for the time being, she planned to go to the library to see if there were any newly published erotic novels.
"Si Yao."
As they approached the library, Si Yao heard Qian Xi's voice from behind.
She turned around and saw Qianxi walking towards her.
Qianxi, dressed in a black dress, had a slightly wheatish complexion, but her eyes were very dark and sparkling, giving her an exotic charm.
"You've come to find more beauty books again?" Qianxi saw through Siyao's purpose at a glance.
Si Yao chuckled and said, "I've already read the ones I borrowed last time several times. Life is so boring, I need to try something new."
"Bored?" Qianxi glanced at her. "You've taken on a precious disciple and you're still bored? Besides, today is his birthday. As his master, shouldn't you be spending time with him to celebrate?"
Si Yao tilted her head back and said, "You even know it's Xiao Yezi's birthday?"
"How could I not know?" Qianxi rolled her eyes. "Your Snowfall Academy's threshold was probably worn down by female disciples from the sect this morning, right?"
Si Yao nodded, "You've never liked getting involved in anything exciting, but it seems like this is quite a big deal, otherwise you wouldn't have heard about it."
Qianxi shrugged. "That's not necessarily true. After all, it's your Fubuki-in. Sometimes I'll still keep an eye on things."
"Haha, Xixi, you're so kind of you to pay so much attention to me." Si Yao shamelessly put her arm around Qian Xi's arm.
The two walked towards the library. Along the way, Qianxi started chatting with Siyao, "So many female disciples want to be your disciple's dual cultivation partners. Do you know which female disciples have caught your disciple's eye?"
"Well..." Si Yao pondered for a moment, "I don't know the specifics, but he's not at Chuixue Courtyard right now. Maybe he was invited by one of the female disciples to go out and have some fun."
Qianxi nodded, her gaze falling on Siyao. "Look, your disciple will soon have a cultivation partner. What about you?"
"Me?" Si Yao's eyes widened. "Why are you asking me this?"
Qianxi looked around and then lowered her voice, "You still haven't answered me last time. Did you suddenly enter the Golden Core stage and go to cultivate with some man?"
Si Yao rubbed her forehead and then her temples, saying, "I think you're quite cute when you're not gossiping."
Qianxi clicked her tongue. "It's fine if you don't want to tell me."
Si Yao pulled her along, speaking with conviction, "That's because I studied the cultivation method for many years, created my own unique path, practiced diligently every day, and finally moved the heavens before I was able to obtain the Golden Core."
Qianxi rolled her eyes again. "Alright, alright, since you have this ability to make things up, you might as well write your own erotic picture books."
"What are you going to make up? Make up romantic tales about Xixi with some sect leader or some sword cultivator?"
After Si Yao finished speaking, she winked and grinned. Seeing this, Qian Xi was furious and almost punched her.
Amidst laughter, Si Yao's thoughts drifted back to the topic of "dual cultivation partners," and she recalled that she had been dreaming about Li Ye occasionally lately.
Looking at Qianxi, Siyao frowned slightly. "There's something strange about it, and I still don't know why."
Qianxi indicated that she was all ears.
Si Yao coughed, her expression somewhat unnatural. "I have a friend who, a long time ago, by some twist of fate, ended up cultivating with a powerful cultivator."
At this point, she emphasized, "It was only a one-night stand, just one night! But even so, after so many years, she still thinks about that past from time to time. Not only does the events of that night reappear in her dreams, but she also sometimes hallucinates, seeing another man as him."
After finishing her sentence, Si Yao let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished some arduous task.
However, Qianxi fell silent. Siyao tilted her head and looked over, only to find Qianxi looking at her with a half-smile.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Qianxi crossed her arms. "Which friend of yours?"
"It's just one of my friends, it doesn't matter."
"Nonsense! In this Joyful Union Sect, besides me, who else do you have?" Qian Xi's gaze was stern. "The friend you're talking about is clearly yourself!"
Si Yao held her breath and fanned herself with her hand, feeling her cheeks burning.
Qianxi leaned closer, staring intently at her. "You, Si Yao, I told you you were secretly cultivating with some powerful being, and you still wouldn't admit it!"
Si Yao looked up at the sky, avoiding Qian Xi's gaze. "You still haven't answered my question. Why do you think my friend is like this? So many years have passed, why do I keep thinking about him lately?"
Qianxi smacked her lips, turning her gaze away with a look of exasperation. "What other reason could there be? It just means that the man is well-endowed and skilled in bed, which is why you can't forget him."
Si Yao: "......"
How could it be because of that?
Si Yao's face turned completely red without her realizing it.
Qianxi snorted, "I knew it! It's because of that powerful being. You said the Jade Maiden Scripture couldn't be cultivated with a man, but it seems you were lying to us. Actually, you have very high standards. Only someone of that level can become your subject. Siyao, Siyao, I didn't expect you to be secretly enjoying such a good life."
Si Yao felt overwhelmed. She had just asked a casual question, but she hadn't expected it to trigger so much speculation from Qian Xi.
"Si Yao, what does that powerful being look like? He must be very handsome, right?"
Si Yao closed her eyes, her mind filled with Li Ye's stunningly beautiful face.
"Which sect does that powerful figure belong to? The Wind Sword Sect?"
Si Yao opened her eyes and looked ahead. "Qian Xi, I'm not going to the library. I have something to discuss with my apprentice."
After saying that, before Qianxi could respond, Siyao had already leaped into the air and quickly escaped.
Qianxi called out from behind, but Si Yao didn't turn around. If she stayed any longer, Qianxi would just keep asking her all sorts of questions.
As Si Yao flew forward, she stopped just before passing Qingfeng Ravine.
She gazed at the bamboo forest in Qingfeng Stream, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go and take a look at the bamboo house.
Maybe Xiao Yezi is there.
Inside the bamboo house, Xiao Yezi's face was deathly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face. His body was constantly throbbing with excruciating pain.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his main soul and secondary soul alternating and vying for control of this body.
He groaned softly, a sharp pain shooting through his chest. Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
"Your Excellency!"
Standing by, Yan Ao's face turned ashen, and he was about to step forward to support Xiao Yezi.
Xiao Yezi raised her hand and quickly stopped her.
He sat cross-legged, circulated his spiritual energy, and formed hand seals to suppress the pain emanating from his body.
His hair was disheveled, and he looked almost tattered. But then, he suddenly opened his eyes, his face deathly pale, and blood trickling from the corners of his tightly pressed lips. "She...is here."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ao's breath caught in his throat. "I can't let her get any closer, otherwise she'll discover the barrier I set up and it will definitely arouse her suspicion."
Xiao Yezi closed her eyes. "It's up to you to handle."
"Apprentice? Are you inside?"
Then, Si Yao's voice came.
