At noon, the sky was bright.
Qin Ji led the crowd to stand on the moon platform in the mountains, only to see a mysterious light flying across the sky and landing on the platform.
After the mysterious light dissipated, the face of a figure appeared. It was Xiang Hongyu who had returned from training at the main peak.
Qin Ji was immediately delighted upon seeing this, and stepped forward to greet him and salute: "Welcome back, young master! I haven't seen you for a month, and your aura is even more refined than before. I believe your cultivation has greatly improved."
"It's just a small breakthrough."
Xiang Hongyu brushed his sleeves, his expression cold, and asked as he walked: "How is Sheng'er's injury?"
Qin Ji, who was standing beside her, answered cheerfully, "Miss Sheng's injuries have healed. She was talking about you yesterday."
Xiang Hongyu's expression relaxed slightly: "Tell me, what has she done this month besides recuperating from her injuries?"
"Miss Sheng is sensible and well-behaved. She doesn't do anything except reading."
"Reading?"
Xiang Hongyu frowned slightly and scolded coldly, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her and limit her exposure to cultivation? You ignored all my orders?"
"I dare not!"
Qin Ji bit her lip and whispered, "Miss Sheng only reads secular books. Apart from the Changsheng Sutra, she has not read any cultivation books."
"Next time, explain yourself clearly and don't cause me any more trouble."
Xiang Hongyu threw his sleeves behind his back and said, "Apart from reading, have you really done nothing?"
Qin Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded submissively, "Really! I dare not speak nonsense."
After asking Xiang Hongyu, his figure suddenly accelerated, disappeared in the mountain path in the blink of an eye, and went straight to the house.
Qin Ji couldn't keep up, so he could only follow from a distance, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
The young master was so eager to see Miss Sheng that outsiders thought he was concerned about his relatives, but to her, the attendant, it was very strange.
He forbade Miss Sheng to learn about cultivation. Although he said that he was afraid that Miss Sheng would go astray in her cultivation, he was actually controlling her and putting her under house arrest.
Young Master...what exactly do you want to do?
Xiang Hongyu rushed all the way with a burning passion in his heart.
This trip to the main peak was very fruitful. Not only did he get help from his master, steal the spiritual energy from the blessed land to help improve his cultivation and break through to the peak of foundation building in one breath, but his master also took out a lot of spiritual materials from the underground treasure house of the main peak, which were exactly what he needed for practicing the furnace.
This way, he could avoid the trek down the mountain and could immediately make the furnace. In a year at most, once the furnace was mature, he would be able to use it to achieve a breakthrough and refine the golden elixir!
However, just as he arrived at the gate of his house, Xiang Hongyu saw an uninvited guest at the door.
He slowed down his pace and approached. The man in front of the door immediately turned around and said with a gentle smile, "I have heard of your great name, Junior Brother Xiang, for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a handsome man."
The man looked unfamiliar. Xiang Hongyu was about to ask a question when he heard his master's solemn voice in his sea of consciousness: "Quickly pay your respects! This man is your Dangchen Peak's true disciple, Lu Yushan."
Xiang Hongyu was startled and bowed quickly: "Disciple greets Senior Brother Lu."
Lu Yushan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked knowingly: "Do you recognize me?"
Xiang Hongyu was also secretly wondering how his master could recognize Lu Yushan, but on the surface he pretended to be respectful and said, "Brother Zhenchuan has a beautiful face, how could I not recognize him? I have seen you from a distance once, but you are a forgetful person and never paid attention to me."
"It's my brother's fault."
Lu Yushan shook his head and smiled, "I wonder if Junior Brother would allow me to enter and have a cup of tea?"
"Brother, you are too kind!"
Xiang Hongyu was flattered and said, "Senior brother, please go first."
Lu Yushan gently patted his folding fan, stepped over the threshold, and Xiang Hongyu followed behind him, calling out in his heart: "Master, is this Lu Yushan here to see you?"
"Of course not!"
The old man in the sea of consciousness snorted coldly, "I only know that this person is extraordinary and very hidden. You must be careful when dealing with him and never be careless."
Xiang Hongyu's heart suddenly lifted, "Disciple understands."
The two of them came to the front hall. Qinji had not returned yet, so Xiang Hongyu personally served a cup of tea to Lu Yushan.
After three rounds of tea, Lu Yushan still didn't say a word, as if he really just came here to taste tea.
Xiang Hongyu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and finally couldn't help asking, "I wonder what Senior Brother Lu is talking about today?"
"If you have nothing to do, can't you come and sit in your precious place?"
Lu Yushan smiled faintly, "Junior brother, you must have heard of my name. I'm used to living a carefree life in the mountains. After a while, I got bored and started wandering around."
Xiang Hongyu felt a little relieved, but before he could open his mouth to agree, Lu Yushan said, "Junior Brother Xiang, you have an attendant. She's your younger sister, Xiang Sheng."
Xiang Hongyu's heart tightened, "Why does Senior Brother Lu ask this?"
"Why is Junior Brother Xiang... so nervous?"
Lu Yushan feigned surprise and said in a teasing tone, "Could it be... that you're afraid that Senior Brother will snatch your sister away and take her back as his concubine?"
"Senior Brother Lu is joking."
Xiang Hongyu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he forced a smile and said, "Everyone in Dangchen Peak knows that Senior Brother Lu never gets close to women. My sister is indeed beautiful, but she can't compare to the proud daughters of the sect. How could she catch Senior Brother Lu's eye?"
Bang!
Lu Yushan gently put down the teacup with a crisp sound, "What if I say that I really like your attendant sister?"
Xiang Hongyu's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. "Brother, you absolutely cannot do that!"
"Why absolutely not?"
Lu Yushan's eyes were bright and aggressive.
Xiang Hongyu suddenly felt a tremendous pressure coming down on him, and for a moment he was completely unable to speak.
"Lu Yushan, I advise you to stop."
A third person's voice was heard in the front hall, and then a shadow floated out from Xiang Hongyu's sea of consciousness and stood between the two of them.
