Chapter 266 Want to join Peach Blossom Valley?
After the people of Peach Blossom Valley finished their worship, Ye Luo set up a formation near the ancient tree to prevent outsiders from disturbing their peaceful sleep.
On the return journey, the atmosphere in the cabin was very oppressive. Yu Xian'er leaned on Nan Muyin's shoulder, her eyes still wet with tears. She cried herself to sleep with tears in her eyes.
Nan Muyin felt heartbroken seeing this, so she picked her up and carried her to the room, leaving the others in a somber mood.
So many things happened during this trip to Wangxian City that everyone was struggling to process them all.
Among them, Ye Luo was the one whose thoughts were most confused.
He couldn't help but place his hand on his lower abdomen, thinking about the past of Zhu Yue...
Everything seemed to be reminding him that from now on, he must be extremely cautious with every step he takes.
As she walked and pondered, Ye Luo unknowingly returned to her room. Looking at Ye Xi, who was curled up asleep on the bed, her eyes were full of affection. She turned to gently embrace her and smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead with her fingertips.
It seemed that this action disturbed her good sleep. The little one closed her eyes, mumbled a few words, hugged the fluffy Nine Nether Sparrow in her arms, and continued to sleep soundly.
The thought of her being dug out by that vile woman and thrown onto the snow filled him with heartache. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, his voice hoarse as he said, "Baby, it's all Daddy's fault. I couldn't protect you back then..."
At this moment, the little dragon, who had been sleeping soundly in the sleeve pocket, opened its sleepy eyes and poked out, affectionately rubbing against Ye Luo's chin, only to be pinched hard by him.
Thinking of everything from her past life, Ye Luo couldn't help but feel angry. "You're quite capable, aren't you? You actually dared to use me as a substitute and even sealed my cultivation. What kind of imprisonment play are you playing?!"
The tightening fingers instantly snapped the dazed little dragon back to reality. It squirmed uncomfortably, trying to escape, and squeaked incessantly with an innocent expression.
"Hmph!" Ye Luo snorted coldly, rolled out of bed, flung open the door, threw the little azure dragon she was holding out, and then slammed the door shut.
Outside the door, Ling Qing and the others who had been diligently protecting the room looked at each other in bewilderment at the sudden scene.
What's going on?
Your Majesty... you were actually thrown out?
Ling Qing bent down and picked up the bewildered little dragon, a smirk playing on her lips. "Did you upset Young Master?"
The little azure dragon's eyes were full of grievance. It jumped down with a splash and tried its best to push against the door to get in, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.
The guards couldn't help but laugh at the sight. Ling Qing glared at them and coughed lightly, "You can stay here for now and go in when the young master's anger has subsided."
Upon hearing this, the little dragon drooped its head and lay down by the door, completely unable to understand why Ye Luo was angry.
After flying for five days, 'Tian Shen Yi' finally returned to Peach Blossom Valley.
At this moment, Ye Xi, who was leaning on the edge of the boat, couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, there are so many people!"
Hearing this, Ye Luo was a little puzzled, so she also stretched her head to look down and saw that the stone steps of the mountain gate below were lined with people in an endless stream.
The densely packed crowd stretched from the steps of the mountain gate all the way out of the valley.
"Good heavens, what's going on?" Ye Luo murmured.
The Second Elder, along with Meng Xiaoshan and a few others, stood atop the stone steps, looking utterly distraught.
Ming Cang led his men down the steps, glanced at the crowd below, and asked, "What's going on?"
The Second Elder stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader, they all want to join Peach Blossom Valley. Several groups have come in the past few days."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo smiled. It seems they all came because of his reputation. Their complete victory in this competition is quite a convincing recruitment brochure.
Ming Cang glanced at the people below and saw that there were indeed quite a few with outstanding spiritual roots. If the sect wanted to develop in the long term, it was essential to absorb fresh blood. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Everyone, please go back first. Peach Blossom Valley has its own rules for recruiting disciples. An entrance test will be held another day, and you can come and be tested then!"
"No, Sect Leader Ming, we've been traveling for days to get to Peach Blossom Valley. Please take us in."
"Yes, yes, being an outer disciple is enough for me."
"If you can just let me into the valley, I'll even be a disciple guarding the mountain. The mountain gate needs someone to guard it, right?"
Ye Luo looked at the male cultivator speaking in front of her and couldn't help but sneer, "Just tie up a dog to guard the gate. It's not only worry-free and food-saving, but also loyal. Why bother to go through so much trouble to raise an ungrateful good-for-nothing?"
Upon hearing this, the male cultivator's face stiffened, and he angrily retorted, "Hey, how dare you speak like that!"
Ye Luo crossed her arms, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "If I remember correctly, you were once a disciple of Peach Blossom Valley. Didn't you leave with your people quite decisively back then? Why are you back now?"
The male cultivator's face flushed red, and after a moment he smiled broadly and said, "Nothing outside is as good as Peach Blossom Valley. I just wanted to come back and do my part."
"Hmph, you heartless bastard! What do you think Peach Blossom Valley is? Get out!"
Yu Qianling's expression darkened. He summoned a crimson spear and unleashed a powerful horizontal sweep. The immense spiritual energy instantly shattered the rocks beside him, startling everyone who involuntarily took a few steps back.
The Grand Elder stepped forward and said solemnly, "Please return first. If you truly wish to join Peach Blossom Valley, we can discuss it again after you pass the assessment another day."
Hearing this, everyone could only leave dejectedly. Ming Cang watched the crowd recede into the distance, then looked at Du Jiaoxi, who was standing beside him in a daze, and asked, "Xiaoxi, what are your plans?"
"I..." Du Jiaoxi frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment. She had always followed her master's instructions, but this question made her feel a little confused.
She had considered going to find Shi Yi, but now she was being hunted down by the Qingyue Sect, and she hesitated for a moment.
Seeing that she was silent with her eyes down, Ming Cang patted her shoulder and said, "Since you haven't made up your mind, you can stay in Peach Blossom Valley."
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
"Don't be so polite. Since you are Cheng Rou's disciple, you are naturally also a disciple of Peach Blossom Valley. You can stay in the library, which used to be your master's place."
Ming Cang turned around and waved to Meng Xiaoshan, "Take Xiaoxi to the library."
"yes!"
Watching the two figures leave, Ming Cang looked at Ye Luo and the others and said with a smile, "Alright, everyone has had a hard time on this trip. Let's all go back to our caves and rest."
The events of this period have come to an end. After returning to her cave with her daughter, Ye Luo slept for a full day and night.
When she woke up, she found Ye Xi sitting on the edge of the bed, excitedly talking to Jiu You Que.
What are you talking about?
Seeing him wake up with his hands on his hips, Ye Xi jumped up and said proudly, "Daddy, Xi Xi has learned the second move of the 'Moon-Slaying Technique'! Aren't I amazing?!"
Ye Luo chuckled dismissively and pinched her chubby cheek. "What 'Moon-Slaying Technique'? Are you still half asleep?"
"Father, I really learned it!"
Seeing that he clearly didn't believe her, Ye Xi jumped off the bed, made a hand seal with her fingertips, and shouted, "Moon Seal - Ice Rain!"
With a simple spell array, countless ice blades flew out and blasted towards the spirit spring and the open space, instantly covering everything in their path with a layer of frost.
Ye Luo's face was full of surprise. She walked to the edge of the spring, tapped the ice, and asked, "How did you learn that?"
“Father, you just taught me this, how could you forget?”
"I taught you???"
