"What sect?" Zu An was a little confused. Why did he suddenly want to join a sect?
“Biluo Palace is a reclusive sect that is on par with Baiyujing. In recent years, due to the excessive power of the imperial court, it has been keeping its mountain gates closed and avoiding the world. Recently, I heard that it is going to reopen its mountain gates and recruit a new batch of disciples. The spots are extremely difficult to obtain. I only got a spot because of my connection with the Pei family,” Pei Mianman explained.
“Biluo Palace?” Zuan racked his brains for a long time but couldn’t recall anything. He thought he would check the archives of the Embroidery Building when he had the chance. “Why not go to the National Academy? No matter how powerful the people in Biluo Palace are, they can’t compare to the Sacrificial Bar.”
“I also want to go to the National Academy, but unfortunately the Grand Master took on his last disciple many years ago and has not taken on any more disciples since. There’s no point in me becoming a third-generation disciple again.” Pei Mianman pouted, clearly quite disappointed.
Zu An thought of Qi Yaoguang, who was the last disciple of the chief priest. Logically speaking, Pei Mianman's talent was no worse than Qi Yaoguang's. He could only lament that she didn't have that opportunity.
"So this time, the Biluo Palace's disciple recruitment isn't a new round of discipleship?"
"This time, the Palace Master of Biluo Palace personally accepted the disciple, which is why it caused such a sensation, and countless people are vying for this opportunity." Pei Mianman's tone was quite proud. Being able to stand out from so many outstanding candidates and become one of the participants indirectly proved her ability.
Zu An was startled: "Is this Palace Master male or female?"
If he were a man, how could he possibly resist such a charming and beautiful disciple?
"Of course it's a woman!" Pei Mianman had been with him for so long, she naturally knew what he was thinking.
Zuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "How old are you? Are you pretty?"
For some reason, the image of Yan Xuehen's shy and tormented appearance from back then came to his mind.
“You’re not interested in anything normal,” Pei Mianman spat, but still replied, “Anyway, she’s not young anymore. As for whether she’s pretty or not, as far as I know, she’s not known for her looks.”
"Oh~" Zuan chuckled to himself, wondering what he was even thinking about.
However, he immediately became reluctant: "Can we not go to this Biluo Palace? I'll teach you my cultivation techniques, which are definitely no worse than those hidden sects."
Pei Mianman shook her head: "I know you are very capable, but I don't want to be your subordinate."
“We are one, there’s no need to distinguish between us,” Zu’an quickly reassured him.
Pei Mianman smiled, her expression somewhat helpless: "If it were just the two of us, I could of course not care, but... never mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up."
"But once you arrive at the Azure Palace, we'll be separated, and we might not see each other again for many years." Zu An still remembers how long it had been since Chu Chuyan was summoned back by Bai Yujing, and how they hadn't seen each other since then, like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl separated by the Milky Way.
It's her!
Pei Mianman looked at him quietly, her peach blossom eyes filled with deep affection: "Grandpa, when I first met you, you were still very weak. I was the one who taught you kung fu back then. But in such a short time, you have already grown to such a level. If you don't keep up, I will fall further and further behind you. Now I can still look up to you, but in the future, I won't even have the right to look up to you anymore. Besides, I am also a cultivator, and I have my own pride and pursuits, so please don't stop me, okay?"
There was another reason she was too embarrassed to say: she didn't want to lose to Chu Chuyan.
Even if she was confident, the other party had a world-renowned grandmaster like Yan Xuehen as her master, and the resources of the entire Baiyujing were used to support her cultivation. The gap between her and the other party would only widen. When they met again, how could she have the confidence to bring up the matter of Zu'an?
Zuan originally wanted to say that she had already broken through to the seventh rank during this period, which was already very outstanding among her peers, but after thinking about it, she ultimately decided not to say it.
When he first met her, she was a recognized genius girl at Mingyue Academy, with countless accolades. Now, he had surpassed her by so much. Even though he was her man, she must be very resentful.
This is the pride of a genius; all practitioners strive to reach a higher level.
“You’re right, I shouldn’t have stopped you,” Zuan embraced her. “With your talent and aptitude, you will definitely be selected as the personal disciple of the Palace Master of Biluo Palace. Your cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds.”
Pei Mianman's talent is second to none, and with the Heavenly Wisdom Jade she received at Yin Ruins, her cultivation speed is already more advantageous. With the guidance of a wise master this time, her future achievements are limitless.
“Ah Zu…” Pei Mianman was also very reluctant to part, and the two hugged each other tightly.
"Ahem, have you forgotten there's someone here!" A voice, barely suppressing its anger, rang out, causing Pei Shao's eyebrows to twitch uncontrollably.
Anger from Pei Shao: +666 +666 +666...
Pei Mianman was startled and pulled away from Zu An's embrace as if she had been burned. She secretly stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm leaving now. I won't lose to you next time we meet."
Zuan chuckled, "That might be a bit difficult."
Pei Mianman smiled sweetly, like a blooming flower, waved to him, and then left with firm steps.
Watching her departing figure, Zu An felt a pang of disappointment and lost all interest in staying in Cloud City any longer.
Not long after, the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce sent a letter. Zu An opened it and saw a piece of beautiful handwriting.
It turned out that Tang Tian'er had written to him, telling him that she had entrusted various channels and successfully obtained the Qinghuang Flower that she had promised to help him find from the demon race. She said that he should be able to get it next spring and that he should not be anxious.
