Xiao Quan is much older than A Yao, but his strength is a whole realm lower than hers, so calling him a junior isn't wrong. In the cultivation world, seniority is determined by strength and connections. It's perfectly acceptable to call someone stronger "senior," and if you have strong connections, you can call someone stronger "fellow Daoist."
After all, you have powerful backers.
Hearing him refer to himself as a junior, A Yao's eyes flickered. Xuan Zhen Sanren was an elder of the Shenmeng Sect and Xu Fengzhi's uncle-master, so he was Xu Fengzhi's junior brother.

Many years later, on her nineteenth birthday, he gave her seeds of the Biluo flower, but she no longer liked the Biluo flower.
Looking at the vast expanse of Biluo flowers, she suddenly realized that she still quite liked them.
