Mu Linyuan paused, seemingly somewhat troubled.
Her ears turned slightly red. She stopped responding to Yun Deng's words, hesitated for a moment, then turned away with a flick of her sleeve: "Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore, old monk. I'm going back to feed Fei Fei."
"Wait a minute." Yun Deng called out to him, "The divination indicates that your sect will have an apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow, and you need to attend."
Mu Linyuan paused for a moment: "Why? You know I don't like taking on disciples, and I never go to those kinds of occasions."
Yun Deng picked up the sutra again: "The divination says that if you don't go, you will suffer a bloody disaster caused by a love affair. Just to be on the safe side, I think you should go."
Mu Linyuan nodded, made a note of it, and then quickly flew away on his sword.
Back at the Cloud Palace, they found no trace of the white furry cat in its nest.
He instinctively thought Si Jin had gone out, and immediately turned around to search for her.
But after searching the entire Qinyue Mountain, they couldn't find a trace of it.
It wasn't until late at night that he returned to the palace, feeling utterly disheartened.
Looking at the empty little wooden box and the short tree stump, I felt increasingly desolate.
Are you leaving already?
Did they find their way home or go somewhere else?
I wasted a week raising you, and you've been scratching your claws and shedding fur.
Now they've left without even saying goodbye.
He sighed, lay back down on the wooden bed, and did not sleep a wink all night.
Without Feifei by his pillow, he felt as if he had lost something important, leaving him feeling lost and disoriented.
I slept lightly for an hour and didn't have those strange dreams again.
He thought he would be happy.
But when I woke up the next day, I felt no joy at all; instead, I felt even more exhausted.
Without motivation, I feel completely drained.
I didn't want to go out.
Then he remembered what Yun Deng had said about the apprenticeship ceremony, and dragged himself there anyway.
… …
At the ceremony, many promising new disciples became disciples of the five elders, thus becoming inner disciples.
They found their master and were somewhat smug.
Seeing that Si Jin had not yet become an apprentice, he was overjoyed.
Many people were thinking in their hearts—
See? Tang Sijin caught Du Yuxiu and was appreciated by the Grand Elder, so what?
They still couldn't enter the Demon-Slaying Sect.
Unlike us, who follow the established path step by step and always achieve good results.
Everyone feels jealous to some extent, but they are rational enough not to say such things out loud.
However, the look in Si Jin's eyes carried a hint of smugness.
However, before they could even enjoy their triumph for long, the sect leader, Mu Linyuan, who had already attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality, arrived late.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they suddenly regretted that they had chosen to become disciples too early.
If Mu Linyuan had come earlier, perhaps they could have tried to become his disciples and join the immortal sect sooner.
However, when Immortal Mu arrived, he only stayed for a moment before taking a liking to Si Jin, who was standing alone in the crowd.
He is the boy in my dreams.
At that moment, it felt like my heart had been struck.
Mu Linyuan ignored the group of disciples who were prostrating themselves in front of him, their eyes shining.
She went straight to Si Jin's side and asked, "Would you be willing... to become my disciple?"
This question not only surprised the disciples, but also the five elders on the main seat, who stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
Did they see it wrong?
Did I hear that right?
Are you still half asleep?
Sect Master Mu, who was already an immortal, actually took the initiative to invite a newly initiated disciple to a ceremony for the first time.
The disciples of Si Jin, who had just looked down on him, could no longer raise their proud heads.
To be personally invited by the sect leader is a blessing earned over several lifetimes!
The graves of eighteen generations of ancestors must be emitting auspicious smoke, right?
But at this moment, Si Jin, who had been invited, remained calm and composed.
He looked at the white-robed immortal in front of him and said with a light smile, "But I haven't prepared any apprenticeship gifts."
Everyone was stunned again. Just as they were about to reprimand Tang Sijin for being ungrateful, their Sect Master Mu lowered his stance once more: "It's alright, I've prepared a gift for you."
Everyone: !
Si Jin: "Can I go to the Cloud Brocade Palace to take a look before deciding whether or not to become its disciple?"
Everyone: !!
Mu Linyuan nodded: "Okay, come on up, I'll take you there on my sword."
Everyone: !!!
This is strange, very strange.
These few lines of dialogue are definitely worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Demon Extermination Sect!
… …
On the sword, Si Jin kept her light grip on Mu Linyuan's waist.
It made him recall those seven nights, and his breath became hot.
Mu Linyuan quickly increased the speed of his sword flight.
Back in my bedchamber, I still couldn't calm my mind.
This was the first time he had seen the boy who wasn't on the bed.
Could it be true, as Yun Deng said, that his romantic troubles are about to begin?
He spoke, his ears turning red, not daring to meet his superior's gaze directly.
"You can take anything you like on this Moon-Capturing Mountain, consider it a gift from me..."
"Master." Just then, Si Jin called out, and her heart pounded even faster.
"Yes!" Mu Linyuan turned around, calming his emotions as he looked at the beautiful young man.
He pointed to the small wooden box and asked innocently, "Is this for a pet?"
"Yes...yes," Mu Linyuan stammered, "It's for a little Fei Fei, but it went missing last night, so maybe we should keep this one..."
Before he could even finish saying "come," Si Jin transformed into a tiny, fluffy white creature in front of him.
It jumped onto the table by itself and cutely nestled into the wooden box.
With the aid of spiritual power, she spoke to him using ventriloquism: "Master, look, is this the Feifei?"
"The red spots on my neck... seem to be from Master's bite."
