“That’s true. With Master being so powerful, who could possibly be his match? I was just worrying unnecessarily.” Bai Xue nodded in agreement.
Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed towards them.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Gu Changqing and that young man.
Bai Xue was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Master, you're finally back! We've been waiting for so long! Why did it take you so long to come back? Are you hurt?"
As soon as Bai Xue saw Gu Changqing, she started chattering nonstop.
"You've said so much, which question should I answer first?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"Huh, Master was alone when he came back, but there's someone else here. Who is he?" Bai Xue asked, puzzled.
"You have such sharp eyes. I hadn't even had a chance to introduce you before you spotted me," Gu Changqing said with a gentle smile and a touch of affection.
"Hello, I am Gu Feng. I was just rescued and I plan to become your apprentice." The young man smiled faintly and spoke calmly and methodically.
"Hello, my name is Yu'er. Like you, I'm also preparing to become Young Master Gu's apprentice," Yu'er said with a slight smile, very politely.
"Hello, my name is Bai Xue, I am my master's spirit cat. Please take care of me from now on," Bai Xue said with a smile, her expression playful.
"Alright, now that you've all gotten to know each other, if there's nothing else, go back to your sect," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
Having been delayed for so long, it's time to go back to the sect and see if the six major demonic sects have launched any attacks, whether the beautiful sect leader has emerged from seclusion, and also to inquire whether we can take on disciples.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing, with a thought, instantly vanished from the spot with his group, traveling a distance of 108,000 miles.
Along the way, they chatted with each other, especially Bai Xue, who talked non-stop like a machine, making everyone happy. Yu'er's originally unhappy mood gradually changed.
Not long after, Gu Changqing and his group returned to Qingyun Sect safely.

Without saying a word, Gu Changqing led them directly towards the sect's main hall.
At this moment, Elder Liu was leisurely drinking tea in the sect's main hall, looking quite content.
"Elder Liu is in high spirits. It seems there's nothing urgent for the sect to do, which has allowed Elder Liu to have some peace and quiet," Gu Changqing said with a smile as he walked.
"So it's Chief Gu. Chief Gu didn't see me busy. I just had a moment to have some tea when you spotted me. These people behind you look unfamiliar to me. Aren't they from our sect?" Elder Liu smiled slightly, not minding at all, and asked casually.
“Elder Liu has excellent eyesight. They are indeed not from our sect. I have come to ask Elder Liu something today. As the chief disciple of the inner sect, am I qualified to take on disciples?” Gu Changqing smiled slightly and got straight to the point.
In his previous life, he was just an insignificant outer disciple who had no chance and never reached his current level. Therefore, he had never thought about whether or not he could take on disciples. Even now, he has never considered taking on disciples before.
“Strictly speaking, it’s not possible. Only elders are qualified to take on disciples. But you, Chief Gu, are different. You have the ability, and no one in the sect can compare to you in terms of cultivation. You are also loved by everyone. So, both logically and emotionally, no one will object to you taking on disciples. If those disciples knew that you had taken on disciples, they would all be scrambling to become your disciples,” Elder Liu said calmly.
"When will the sect leader emerge from seclusion? If she finds out, will she have any objections?" Gu Changqing asked casually.
"The sect leader hasn't come out of seclusion yet. She's really good at keeping her composure. I wonder when she'll emerge. You don't need to worry about the sect leader. She's always been tolerant and magnanimous, so she definitely won't have any objections. Rest assured," Elder Liu patted his chest and assured him.
He knew the sect leader's character all too well; she was always very open-minded about anything that was beneficial to her.
Furthermore, if Chief Gu were to take on disciples, it would expand the Qingyun Sect, which would be a great benefit to the sect for generations to come.
"With Elder Liu's words, I am relieved," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, pleased.
"If I'm not mistaken, these must be the disciples that Chief Gu is planning to take on?" Elder Liu said with a slight smile, his confidence evident.
“Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Elder Liu. I was just about to take them as disciples, so I came to ask if it was possible to take them as disciples, so as not to break the sect’s rules.” Gu Changqing said without any hesitation.
"Master, you're mistaken. It's the two of them who want to become your disciples. I'm your spirit cat, and I only want to be your spirit cat, not your disciple," Bai Xue said, pouting inappropriately.
"You talk too much. Say it again, or I'll beat you back to your original form!" Gu Changqing threatened.
This civet cat is really spoiled; it doesn't know any rules at all.
Seeing this, Bai Xue was so frightened that she dared not speak. She looked aggrieved. She had only kindly reminded her that she had done something wrong, but her master was blaming her, as if she really hadn't done anything wrong.
"I'm sorry to have troubled Elder Liu. This is a spirit cat I just acquired and it doesn't know the rules. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Take care, Chief Gu," Elder Liu said with a smile.
Afterwards, Gu Changqing and his group left and went to Jiang Qingcheng's place.
At this moment, Jiang Qingcheng was dancing gracefully in the courtyard. Every move she made was beautiful, moving, and captivating.
When Gu Changqing and his group arrived, they witnessed this breathtaking scene.
They were all stunned, never expecting the dance to be so exquisite, like a fairy descending to earth, breathtakingly beautiful.
Gu Changqing smiled and said with delight, "Great, wonderful, Qingcheng, you dance so beautifully, so charmingly. I love it so much. Please dance for me more often in the future."
Jiang Qingcheng smiled shyly and said, "Husband, when did you get back? Why didn't you say anything? Are they your friends?"
“These two are my apprentices, and the remaining one is my spirit cat,” Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"My name is Yu'er, greetings to my master's wife."
"My name is Gu Feng, greetings, Master's wife."
Both of them shouted with great tact.
"Hello!" Jiang Qingcheng blushed and her heart raced as she said shyly.
Then, looking at Gu Changqing with a blank expression, she asked, "When did you take on a disciple, my husband? I didn't even know. Did you consult Elder Liu before taking on a disciple?"
