What I call myself is not important; what is important is that I have taken Xiao Yanzi as my apprentice.
If you really want to address me, just call me Master Lu.
I met Xiao Yanzi in Hangzhou.
At that time, our sect was short of people, so I was thinking of adding some new members to our sect. It just so happened that when I was walking down the mountain, I noticed Xiao Yanzi and her group.
Of course, anyone who wants to join my sect must first pass my test.
So I gave myself a pill and deliberately went to Xiao Yanzi and the others, fainted in front of them, and asked them to come and save me.
What I didn't expect was that Xiao Yanzi, despite her young age, had such keen eyesight and sensitivity to medicinal herbs that she immediately saw through my pretense.
I saw that she had exceptional talent, so I shamelessly tried to get her to join the sect.
In the end, I persuaded her and took her back to the sect.
It doesn't matter what my sect is called, because it was disbanded after Xiao Yanzi founded the Ziyun Sect.
Senior Brother Lu Yue: "Master, where did you bring this beautiful young lady back from?"
Second Elder: "Eldest Brother, you're something else! You just came down the mountain and brought another young lady home."
Third Elder: "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you two are both grown men, let me handle this little girl!"
Third Senior Brother: "What's your name?"
Sixth Senior Brother: "Where do you live?"
Master Lu: "Can't you let the child speak for himself?"
Little Swallow looked at the large group of people with a smile, "You can just call me Little Swallow."
As for where my home is, I can't tell you for now!
Seventh Senior Brother: "Why?"
Little Swallow said in a very serious tone, "Because I don't trust you..."
Master Lu stroked his beard and smiled, "She's the one I brought back, so naturally she has to acknowledge me as her master."
After that, 10-year-old Xiao Yanzi became the sect's darling.
Senior Brother Lu Yue doted on Xiao Yanzi like a precious treasure, to the point that Master Lu's only daughter began to be hostile towards her.
Who exactly are you?
"Why is it that as soon as you arrived, my father stopped caring about me, and my senior brother stopped caring about me too...?"
"..." Little Swallow really wanted to say that she didn't want to come either, but her father forcibly dragged her here...
But saying such things would probably make the young lady even angrier, so Xiao Yanzi kept quiet.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Little Swallow asked helplessly, "Miss Lu, what do you want me to say?"
"They must like you so much because you're prettier than me. I want you to tell me, how do you get so good-looking? What are your skincare secrets?"
"..." Little Swallow fell silent.
After that, Master Lu's daughter became Little Swallow's little follower.
She went from being jealous of Xiao Yanzi to envying her.
Lu Yue also gradually fell in love with Xiao Yanzi in their daily interactions.
It wasn't until the sixth day of the fourth month of the eighteenth year of Qianlong's reign, on Xiao Yanzi's birthday, that things changed.
When they learned of Aisin-Gioro Yongqi's existence, Lu Yue felt as if his heart had been shattered.
Second Senior Brother: "Goodness gracious, Junior Sister, are you engaged so early?"
Little Swallow shook her head, "Not yet, but he and I are definitely going to get married!"
Third Senior Brother: "I'm really curious, what kind of monster is that? It could make you fall in love with mortals so early!"
Yes, in front of her third senior brother, Xiao Yanzi was a quiet and composed little girl.
She's a little girl who usually just likes to study herbs in her room and doesn't do much else.
Little Swallow was speechless. "Third Senior Brother, is it really that exaggerated?"
"I am just a mortal, and the mortal's heart is constantly in motion. If the heart were to stop moving, wouldn't it be dead?"
Master Lu burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "Little Swallow is right, a person's heart really is always beating..."
Fourth Senior Brother: "Junior Sister, you're still young. How do you know that person is your perfect match?"
"What if he marries someone else while you're gone?"
Little Swallow glanced at her androgynous fourth senior brother and said, "Fourth senior brother, don't try to sow discord!"
"I believe my Yongqi will never betray me. Don't even think about shaking my will!"
Fifth Senior Brother: "He and I are both fifth in our family, so we'll both be fifth wives when we go out. Why don't you marry me?"
Before Xiao Yanzi could answer, Lu Yue, the eldest brother, kicked the fifth brother away, saying, "What are you thinking, kid?"
The third senior brother chimed in, adding, "Yeah, Fifth Brother, what are you dreaming of?"
The fourth senior brother glanced indifferently at the fifth senior brother who had been kicked repeatedly, "You really overestimate yourself. Do you think you can lay a finger on Little Swallow?"
Sixth Senior Brother: "...Fifth Brother, you really deserve it!"
Little Swallow laughed out loud without any attempt to hide her laughter, "Fifth Senior Brother, don't think such nonsense. It's impossible for us because you're too old..."
The eldest, second, third, fourth, and fifth senior brothers all fell silent.
The sixth and seventh senior brothers lay on the ground and burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, you guys are too old..."
Little Swallow added, "Sixth Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Brother are just right, but unfortunately, you two have no chance!"
"You should find someone else, don't try anything with me..."
Master Lu didn't hold back in mocking the fifth brother, "Fifth brother, you should have some self-awareness. At your age, if you were any faster, your child would be half the size of Little Swallow..."
"..." Fifth Senior Brother was completely speechless when he heard the final blow of age.
"Master, is it really necessary?" Little Swallow felt a pang of heartache seeing her fifth senior brother's withdrawn state.
Master Lu curled his lip, "He's coveting my new apprentice, this is intolerable!"
"Besides, if your sweetheart finds out, wouldn't he kill the fifth brother?"
"I definitely have to put an end to Lao Wu's idea first, otherwise, no one can save him!"
"..." Little Swallow was speechless. "Master, Yongqi would never be so cruel!"
Master Lu glanced at Xiao Yanzi and said, "You're not a man, do you think you know everything?"
"As someone who's been through this, I know men never show mercy to rivals in love..."
Little Swallow chuckled twice, then remained silent, "..."
"Don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, let's try it. If I have one of your senior brothers express his feelings for you, see if he causes trouble for your senior brother..."
Little Swallow was speechless. "Master, you're so childish!"
However, at this moment, Xiao Yanzi naturally could not have imagined that one day, her senior brother Lu Yue would appear at her wedding with Yongqi.
What she didn't know was that during the three days and three nights she and Yongqi spent at Yonghe Palace, her senior brother Lu Yue was indeed being hunted down.
It was only because Lu Yue was highly skilled, and Jia Yongqi only wanted to mess with him and didn't really go all out, that Lu Yue was able to return to the sect safely.
Lu Yue's impression of Yongqi ultimately boiled down to the word "stingy".
Just because he pretended to steal the bride, he was constantly besieged by his men.
This guy is even more stingy than his master!
(Actually, the grass on Master Lu's rival's grave is probably incredibly tall...)
It wasn't until two months after her marriage that Xiao Yanzi accidentally received a letter from Lu Yue complaining about Yongqi, and only then did she understand everything.
"Yongqi, you're really great!"
"You jealous bastard, you even dared to hurt my senior brother!"
Yongqi pouted, "What? Did your senior brother complain to you?"
"How boring. I didn't even do anything to him, and he came to complain to you..."
"Little Swallow, you should still feel sorry for me..."
"I'm the one you should feel sorry for..."
Little Swallow struggled, "You're doing it again..."
Yongqi leaned against her neck and whispered, "On such a beautiful day, let's do something more meaningful..."
Xiao Yanzi's master and fellow disciples only appeared in their lives after Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi settled in Dali. Therefore, Yongqi will have to compete with his fellow disciples for favor for the rest of his life!
"Swallow, it's all thanks to you!"
"Master, what's wrong?"
"I never imagined that this old man would one day be sunbathing here with two abdicated emperors..."
"It's so prestigious to say that out loud!"
"One emperor is my apprentice's father-in-law, and the other emperor is my apprentice's husband. My life is complete!"
