Silent World, Winter Snow Arrives
Zhu Xun suddenly felt a strong gaze locked onto him, probably because he had just seen his uncle accidentally release his magic power.
He pretended nothing was wrong, and leisurely turned around; it was Hua Heying.
Fortunately, it was retrieved in time and was not discovered.
Zhu Xun took a deep breath, suppressing his trembling lips.
You Youju had just felt a strange sense of oppression, and as soon as she stepped into the hall, she felt uneasy as if she were being stared at by a ferocious beast.
"I already said I wasn't coming. Does this old man want to eat me if I'm a little late?"
You Youju sat down, but not upright. He rested his elbows on the armrests, propped his head up, and looked languid.
As he grew older, he gradually disliked having people's attention on him, but because of his face, he gradually got used to it. He listlessly unfolded his folding fan, gently tapping it back and forth to create a breeze, also partially obscuring his face.
You Youju still doesn't use hair oil, and the wind can blow his hair around freely. It is precisely this that makes him always look like a carefree young master, nonchalant and unconcerned with worldly affairs.
Zhu Xun just stared at him, his face slightly damp. He lowered his head, but smiled.
"Twenty-third place."
Zhu Xun dusted off his wrinkled clothes, his palms sweating. He caught a glimpse of You Youju sleeping with her eyes closed, and nervously walked to the center.
Chu Fei read aloud: "Late stage of Qi Refining, ranked 70th in Trial 1, 71st in Trial 2, 50th in Trial 3, 50th in Trial 4, and 23rd in Trial 5. Wind and Wood attributes, skilled in using wind blades and wooden vines as weapons, good at defense. Age... 18."
Even if the previous stages were unremarkable, the age immediately sets them apart. After all, some people spend their entire lives without ever reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, remaining stuck in the Qi Refining stage, while those who can enter the late stage of Qi Refining at a young age are truly talented.
Chi Yu and Cang Zhou Shui exchanged a glance and both expressed their approval, confirming that this was a promising young man.
Chi Yu spoke first: "Do you have someone you love? If not, come to my Youyun Peak. Who in the world doesn't know that Youyun Peak is the best among weapon cultivators?"
Cang Zhou Shui continued, "The formations of my Haoran Peak are also world-renowned. Becoming a disciple of my main peak will not be a waste of your youthful talent."
Si Chuitang smiled helplessly at Zhu Xun, after all, she only planned to recruit eight people, and the position was already filled.
Hua Heying seemed uninterested in Zhu Xun and did not extend an invitation.
Zhu Xun spoke slightly louder than usual, enough for the five elders to hear clearly.
"This disciple wishes to become a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak."
Youju did not react.
The other elders were quite surprised. Hua Heying gave Zhu Xun a cold look, while Zhu Xun appeared to be humbly seeking a master and was very polite.
Hua Heying was indifferent to Zhu Xun, but the sect rules stipulated that elders must not prevent or refuse any new disciple from becoming a disciple.
Hua Heying nodded in agreement.
Seeing that You Youju still didn't react, Zhu Xun raised his voice: "Thank you, Fifth Elder."
Chi Yu gave Hua Heying a suspicious look and transmitted her voice, "Is it really that exciting to worship an animal?"
Hua Heying: "Get lost."
It wasn't until the end that You Youju was called up and scolded for his behavior before he turned his attention to the forty-five new disciples.
And so, he and Zhu Xun locked eyes. In just one glance, Zhu Xun's longing surged like a tidal wave. He wanted to say something, but the crowd was about to disperse.
It feels so familiar.
"Junior Brother Guichen, come here." Before Youyouju could think it over, Huaheying called Youyouju away.
Actually, it's not for any other reason than that Ju likes gemstones and crystals, and often asks Huahe Ying to bring some back.
"Senior sister, what good stuff is it this time!" In fact, You Youju had been calling this child "senior sister" for many years. Since discovering that this senior sister was easy to talk to, had a cold but cute face, and was also naturally naive, You Youju breathed a sigh of relief because she was so easy to get along with and talk to. If she had to name the elder she had the best relationship with in Chaoyun Mountain, it would probably be Hua Heying, who was not on the mountain for many years.
Hua Heying also likes You Youju because You Youju can help take care of the spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts don't reject him. This gives him plenty of time to find the antidote, and of course, he's also quite free.
Hua Heying handed over a jade brooch, the lower tassel inlaid with translucent blue gemstones.
“I heard from Chuitang that this is a spirit stone that can stabilize your body’s magnetic field.”
You Youju was naturally delighted and thanked her repeatedly, immediately agreeing to continue helping to take care of the spirit beasts on Beast Taming Peak after her senior sister left the mountain.
———
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Xun's eyelids twitched, and he appeared before Zhao Hua: "Do you want to make this a public spectacle?"
Zhao Hua immediately knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, please calm down!" Only when she saw that Zhu Xun did she stand up and said, "Your Excellency, I am here to deliver something. Now that you are going to sleep with these strange people from the immortal sects, please don't act rashly."
Zhao Hua didn't care whether Zhu Xun accepted it or not, and took out the prepared items: "This is the Immortal Sect Rules and Array Control Manual from Haoran Peak, this is a low-grade spiritual weapon from Youyun Peak, this is a spiritual energy stabilizing pill from Feihua Peak, and this is a beast-taming guide from Yushou Peak... oh well. And there's more..."
"Where's Yun Difeng? Uncle...didn't he send a gift package?"
Zhao Hua slapped his forehead! "Oh no! I forgot to get it! I'm so incompetent, I'll go get it right now..."
Zhu Xun stopped Zhao Hua: "You continue doing what you're supposed to do. I'll go by myself."
Zhao Hua blinked: "Your Excellency wouldn't also want to get close to Elder Gui Chen, would you? Elder Gui Chen, take a rest. These were all sent to us by Senior Brother Chu Fei."
Zhu Xun ignored the smacking noises behind him and vanished in a flash.
Zhao Hua glanced at the spot where Zhu Xun had disappeared, touched his brand-new storage bag and token, placed the items at Zhu Xun's door, and left.
The clouds and mist were like a light veil, obscuring the view from the mountaintop.
Zhu Xun concealed his presence and, after confirming that no one was around, stepped into that secluded place.
Unlike the other peaks, Yundi Peak only had a few courtyards and a pavilion, its simplicity making one feel as if they had wandered into the countryside.
He didn't have time to explore the surroundings, so he followed the scent into the house.
Through the gauze curtains, you could hear Ju's breathing slowly. Her long hair, like a waterfall, cascaded down like silk, but was supported by a floating magnolia branch at halfway up the edge of the bed, so it didn't slip down and seemed to be leaning gracefully against the branch.
Hmph, I bet it's just some clever trick by that "good little brother".
Zhu Xun revealed his true form, and my heart pounded like a drum.
He moved a stool, sat quietly by the bed, and gazed at the sleeping person.
When my uncle wakes up, should I ask him? How should I ask him?
Sunlight streamed in; early summer wasn't hot, but rather often felt warm and cozy. The sunlight danced, leaping precisely through the gaps in the gauze curtains, landing precisely on the red mole between the person's eyebrows.
Zhu Xun's eyes burned, and he smiled, wondering if Fuyu Lingyu also remembered the old friends?
Old acquaintances... it's only been half a year, how can they be considered old acquaintances? Half a year is neither long nor short.
His eyes were burning, so he closed them and rubbed his forehead.
Youyou opened her eyes and found that the person was already awake and was staring at her without moving.
His blood froze instantly, and he was unable to move.
Zhu Xun racked his brains, finally managing to call out. But the person closed their eyes again as if bidding farewell, as if it had all been an illusion.
What does this mean?
Zhu Xun was completely lost, feeling disoriented and disoriented.
Has Uncle lost his memory?!
Zhu Xun steadied himself and used his spiritual power to investigate. Sure enough! His uncle must have suffered a very serious injury not long ago. The memory of his annihilation was still vivid. How could such a serious injury be completely healed?
He then noticed that the thing that resembled a magnolia tree was actually a high-grade spiritual artifact, which was nourishing Youyouju.
He immediately sensed something was wrong with the look in his eyes. His uncle's eyes were usually clear and bright, his pupils shining like pearls, seemingly nourished by the whites of his eyes. But his uncle's sudden awakening had startled him, and he hadn't noticed that his eyes were now stiff and unresponsive.
Zhu Xun drafted a decree and sent it back to the Demon Realm. He then regulated his spiritual power and slowly injected it into You Youju's body. In this way, as long as he often sneaked over to help You Youju recover, his uncle would get better.
When Youyou Ju woke up the next day, she felt comfortable all over, as if her internal organs had been soothed and calmed, and her energy and spirit had returned to their proper places. Unlike before, when she was often sleepy and not fully awake, although she had recovered a lot with Chaolan's help, she was still missing one medicine to fully regain her senses.
Spring has arrived without my knowledge; only today, as I open the window, do I realize that all things are coming back to life.
Yesterday, while finishing up her work, Chao Lan encountered a child weeping at the foot of the mountain. Upon inquiring, she discovered that the child's father had committed suicide after failing to pass the imperial examination.
He said, "I can't live on either side. I only hope to die and send my child into the immortal realm so that I can escape the world."
Chao Lan remained silent, but indicated that she could not accept anyone.
The child cried and pleaded, "Nowadays, the demonic path doesn't kill people; there are plenty of people more powerful than them who can devour flesh and bones. The immortal sects eliminate this scourge to protect the royal family."
One of the disciples scolded, "Stop talking nonsense!"
The child retorted, "My dad saw it all! He predicted it all!"
Someone came to chase them away, but Chao Lan stopped them: "Send them to Feihua Peak to be a pageboy. I hope everyone will be careful with their words about today's events."
There were classes at Beast Taming Peak today. Chao Lan returned to Cloud Emperor Peak and saw the Drunken Spirit Garden flowers in full bloom, but he was blinded by their brilliance.
