Chapter 1204 Let the Master Teach Me
"None of your parents or relatives cultivate?" She remembered that Han Mo's aunt and the like had cultivation.
“I have older brothers and sisters, but my parents have passed away. There are also elderly people in the clan, but we don’t usually keep in touch.” Qi Yun seemed unwilling to say more, and picked up a bunch of grapes. “Master, please have some grapes.”
"Where did these grapes come from? They're ready to eat so soon?"
“I used magic to ripen them. There’s an old grapevine on the back mountain that’s very spiritual.”
Before long, King Zhou returned. He and Qi Yun drank quite a bit of wine, three or four jars of it.
Later, King Zhou hugged his brother tightly, showing great reluctance and even crying, which was a genuine expression of his feelings.
To avoid embarrassment, Song Chunxue went back to her room to rest early.
The next morning, after everyone had finished getting ready, they gathered in the hall.
Qi Yun changed into a gray-blue outfit, wore a bamboo hat, and had an excited smile on her face, looking forward to the upcoming trip.
The little immortal left last night. After they left the mountain gate, they were escorted to the foot of the mountain by King Zhou.
"Brother, you should go back now. I will come back." Qi Yun patted King Zhou on the shoulder. "Don't worry, brother, I will return safely and celebrate the New Year with you. I hope to see your child born then."
King Zhou sighed, his eyes red, and straightened his collar.
“Yes, now that you’re gone, this mountain is much quieter. I should find a woman to have my child.” He said with some melancholy, “If I don’t get what I want after I die, at least I’ll have someone to take care of me in my old age and inherit this mountain. Anyway, I can’t rely on you.”
Listening to their pleasantries, Zhang Chengxuan said gently, "I didn't realize you had taken on such a passionate and sincere person as your disciple."
"Alright, let's go," Han Mo patted King Zhou on the shoulder. "Brother Zhou, take care. Next time we meet, I'll bring a few more jars of fine wine."
"Then I'll wait for Brother Han's wine. Take care, everyone."
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care, elder brother."
Qi Yun waved to him, "Brother, you should go back now."
As he turned around, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes.
"Oh dear, junior brother is crying. I didn't realize you were such a loyal and righteous fox spirit. Why suffer with us?"
Qi Yun shook off Chang Yun's arm, lowered his head and kicked a clod of dirt. "I'm not young anymore, but because I'm so attached to that peaceful life, I haven't ventured out into the world for so many years."
He kicked a pebble at his feet. “I’m closer to Brother Zhou than to any of my relatives. My cousin once kicked me into the water, but Brother Zhou picked me up and brought me here to take care of me.”
Tu Dan'er asked in surprise, "You're not a local fox?"
“He’s from our side, all my aunts know him,” Han Mo explained. “The reason I came here to find him is because we’ve known each other since we were little kids, and we used to chase rabbits together before we even took human form.”
"So, you two were too naughty as children, daring to touch any kind of woman?"
"Cough cough..."
"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough," Qi Yun looked up at the sky awkwardly, "That was a misunderstanding. We are not the kind of people who are, cough cough, obsessed with beauty. It was just a moment of foolishness. We wanted to, cough cough, admire the charm of the Daoist nun."
Tu Dan'er laughed loudly, "Didn't expect that, did you? Not only did you fail to win over my martial aunt, you also became her disciple. Let's see if you dare to mess around with women again."
"No, no, I won't do it again," Qi Yun said, blushing. "Where are we going?"
Zhang Chengxuan took out a flying boat, saying, "Let's go to the desert to eat watermelon."

That evening, they reached the desert, basked in the sun for an hour, and finally arrived at an oasis.
Crescent Lake was so beautiful that they immediately ran up to it and drank the water.
That night, they stayed at a small inn nearby.
After a simple bowl of sour soup noodles, everyone went back to their rooms and lay down.
Going out in June is really hot and tiring.
But Song Chunxue noticed that her senior brother was about to go out.
"Squeak~"
Zhang Chengxuan opened the door and saw Song Chunxue waiting at the door, looking as if she had seen through him long ago.
Where to?
"I'm going out for a bit, and I'll be back before dawn tomorrow."
"Where to?"
"There is something very important to send out from the capital."
If I'm not mistaken, it's related to Xie Zheng.
So she didn't press further. "Then be careful. Don't rush back. It's fine if you come back the day after tomorrow morning. I'll show them around the neighborhood."
“There are bandits around here, so be careful.” Zhang Chengxuan straightened his sleeves. “If you encounter any strange people, don’t get to know them easily. If we are targeted by some thief, we can’t just take them all as apprentices and keep them by our side, wouldn’t that be unsettling?”
"Why don't you take him to the capital?" Song Chunxue said casually. "He's a bunch of roughnecks, I can't control him."
“It’s alright,” Zhang Chengxuan said in a low voice, “You can keep him in check after you take him on as a disciple.”
"I wasn't talking about Qi Yun."
"I'm talking about him!" he sneered. "You're so naive to think that becoming his apprentice is the end of it all. I'm a man, after all."
"What's wrong with men?"
"What you can't have always stirs your heart."
"Huh?" Song Chunxue retorted, "Whom can't you have?"
"Pah!" Zhang Chengxuan flicked his whisk and walked past her. "I've already got it."
"My God, who is it?"
"Shut up, come back to the point," Zhang Chengxuan said angrily. "You're always asking questions until you get to the bottom of things. If you treated Han Mo like this, you wouldn't have..."
"Senior brother, hurry up and go, stop dawdling."
"..." He sneered, "You won't even let me say it? Later, I'll send him to Lingyun Mountain so my master can teach him."
