Wen Zhaobai's voice rang out outside Luo Jiu's door. He knocked lightly on the door, his manner extremely rhythmic and refined.
A hint of surprise flashed across Luo Jiu's face. Why did this person come here?
She opened the door and welcomed Wen Zhaobai in.
The newcomer was still wearing the same white monk's robe embroidered with dark patterns. Although it was the same robe, it looked inexplicably handsome and refined on Wen Zhaobai.
Luo Jiu never doubted the existence of the male protagonist's halo.
As Wen Zhaobai slowly approached, a faint, warm scent of sunlight wafted towards him. It was Wen Zhaobai's scent.
Why are you here?
Luo Jiu's slightly distant words made Wen Zhaobai feel a little awkward, but his good manners and upbringing allowed him to ignore these unpleasant feelings as much as possible.
"I thought we had a good relationship. Besides... we'll soon be fellow disciples, so why not call me... senior brother?"
Luo Jiu gave him a strange look, her expression somewhat complicated.
What's wrong with this world? Why are so many people trying to take advantage of others?
"Senior brother?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhaobai smiled with satisfaction.
Then, Wen Zhaobai told Luo Jiu that the purpose of his trip was to take Luo Jiu to his new residence.
"Qingyun Peak is covered in snow all year round and is extremely cold, but it is of great benefit to cultivation."
However, it's not quite suitable for Junior Sister to live in. Since you haven't begun cultivating yet and can't circulate your own spiritual energy to resist the cold, your dwelling is located halfway up the mountain.
Luo Jiu nodded as if she understood, then turned to look at Wen Zhaobai with curiosity.
"Did you live there before, senior brother?"
"No, I was picked up by my master when I was little, and I started cultivating from a young age. That bitter cold has been etched into my bones since childhood, and I've already adapted to it."
Luo Jiu already knew about Wen Zhaobai's background, and didn't know what to say at this moment.
Instead, Wen Zhaobai chuckled softly and reached out to affectionately pat Luo Jiu's head.
"I never imagined that the little girl I brought out of the Misty Forest would become my junior sister by such a twist of fate."
Luo Jiu was momentarily taken aback by Wen Zhaobai's sudden intimacy. When she looked up, she only saw a face softened by the light.
Speaking of this, Luo Jiu was a little angry. They could have taken their relationship to the next level, but Yan Ze had inexplicably interrupted them.
She muttered softly, with a hint of childish whining and complaining.
"Originally, Senior Brother Wen Zhaobai could have become my master."
"So that's what's bothering you."
Wen Zhaobai's laughter came from the side, completely unaware of Luo Jiu's hidden meaning.
"I knew you were unhappy, now I know."
"You actually want to be my disciple instead of my master? I can brag about this for a year, hahaha..."
Hearing Wen Zhaobai's carefree laughter, Luo Jiu sighed and quickened her pace, indicating that she didn't want to walk with someone with such a problem.
"Wait, junior sister."
Wen Zhaobai strode up and addressed her as "Junior Sister" repeatedly, which made Luo Jiu somewhat resentful, followed by helplessness.
"Junior Sister?"
"Junior Sister?"
Luo Jiu, thoroughly annoyed, shook him off. "Wen Zhaobai, how come I never realized you were such a childish person?"
The two bickered and teased each other all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Qingyun Peak.
This place is extremely close to the snow-capped mountains, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people feel relaxed and refreshed, as if all fatigue has been washed away.
"This is a house named by Master, called 'Falling Snow Residence'."
The vast courtyard stretches as far as the eye can see, complete with small bridges, flowing water, and houses. Several lush evergreen trees surround the houses, adding to the picturesque atmosphere and making one feel as if they are in a fairyland.
Small lanterns hang from the trees, which are actually a kind of small spirit beast, similar to a firefly, but with a very long lifespan. During the day, it hides in the trees, its fluttering wings transforming into a leaf; at night, it shimmers with a warm light under the moonlight.
Luo Jiu had seen this insect in an encyclopedia; it had extremely high medicinal value, yet it was being used as a lighting "lantern"?
As she listened to Wen Zhaobai's explanation, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.
Previously, Luo Jiu had only heard that the Xiuyun Immortal Sect was the number one sect in the cultivation world, with countless treasures within its walls, but she had no idea what to make of it. Now, seeing how wealthy and powerful this sect was, she didn't know how to react.
"Oh, right. There's a senior sister of yours living in Luoxue Residence. But she came down the mountain these past two days, so you just missed her."
Looking into Wen Zhaobai's smiling eyes, Luo Jiu felt an urge to punch him for some reason.
This senior sister... could she be the one she's thinking of...?
"Your senior sister is named Xueqing. She was originally our youngest junior sister, but now that you've arrived, she's suddenly become our senior sister. She must be very happy!"
Luo Jiu: "..."
It's true what they say, what you fear most is what happens.
Xue Qing is the childhood sweetheart that's a must-have for the male lead in melodramatic romance novels. She's the female lead in the original story.
He himself turned the female lead from the most favored junior sister into the senior sister?!
Luo Jiu's vision went black, and she suddenly felt that the road to conquering the world had become even longer, pitch black, with no end in sight.
The moonlit night was pitch black, yet the lights outside remained on. Silence descended silently.
Luo Jiu suddenly sat up in bed, her face covered in sweat. Her chest heaved wildly, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.
She dreamt that she was in a corridor, a narrow passageway that only allowed one person to pass at a time, with a dim yellow candlelight on the walls, which added to the eeriness of the place.
Luo Jiu ran and ran, but unexpectedly bumped into a wall of people. She retreated in fear, only to see a woman with disheveled hair, wearing a white Taoist robe, approaching her step by step.
"Luo Jiu, you've caused me so much suffering..."
The woman moved closer to her, and Luo Jiu was caught off guard to find herself facing a face covered in bloodstains...
This male lead really has questionable emotional intelligence. Why did he have to bring up Xue Qing? And then on the very first night, he dreamt of being paralyzed by a ghost. It's unbelievable.
The next day, Luo Jiu stepped out of the room with dark circles under her eyes.
Beside the house, the trees are evergreen. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows, and a few green leaves fall, only to disappear as soon as they are blown away.
Everything was as beautiful and peaceful as when we first met.
However, all of Luo Jiu's good mood vanished when she saw the black eagle perched on the tree branch.
Upon seeing her, the black eagle swooped down from the tree. With haughty strides, it slowly approached Luo Jiu.
"Your master wants you to attend morning class."
The black eagle left these words behind, spread its broad wings, soared into the sky, circled for a moment, and then disappeared with the wind without leaving a trace.
Luo Jiu: "..."
She unconsciously twitched her lips, recalling the black eagle's expression just now, and couldn't help but complain.
Do spirit pets resemble their owners in appearance, taste, and personality?
Is that so annoying?
