Feng Guang said, "Young Master Jin, my master's meaning is my meaning. I only wish to focus on cultivating the Dao and do not wish to have romantic feelings for men and women."
She never expected that the topic of Chishongzi that she initially discussed with Fang Yue would now come true for her, even if it was just an act.
Shang Baizi also laughed, "Our Xuanmen has many female disciples. Why don't you take a fancy to someone else, Young Master Jin? It's just a matter of prestige..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning in his tone was clear: you're not good enough for him.
Shang Baizi's words reminded Feng Guang of something. She glanced at Li Qing behind her and said, "Junior Sister, Young Master Jin has traveled a long way. Please take him to the guest room to rest."
"Yes, Senior Sister." Li Qing seemed very excited to be called out by Feng Guang, but when she walked up to Jin Ye, she put on an unhappy expression. "Come with me."
Jin Ye smiled magnanimously, "If Junior Sister Fengguang changes her mind, she can come and find me."
Feng Guang did not answer him.
Jin Ye didn't feel embarrassed at all and followed Li Qing out.
Feng Guang and Shang Baizi then bid farewell to Xuan Qingzi and left the main hall.
Walking along the road, Shang Baizi said, "Jin Ye's arrival was sudden. He might have some other purpose. Junior sister, you must not be fooled by him."
“I’m not interested in him, but senior brother, I need to ask you for a favor.”
"Oh? What is it?"
Feng Guang rarely uses the word "please," so it's no wonder that Shang Baizi was surprised.
"I would like to ask my senior brother to take that child named Xiaoxiao as his disciple."
Shang Baizi was startled. "What? That unlovable little brat? Junior sister, why are you treating such an unlovable little brat differently?"
"Actually, Xiaoxiao isn't as bad as you say."
"Have you forgotten how you got injured?" Shang Baizi tapped her head with his fan. "I really can't understand, senior brother. If you like her, why don't you just take her as your disciple? Why come to me?"
“I don’t have time to teach her.” Yes, she is known for her diligence. “And I’m also worried that other people won’t be able to manage Xiaoxiao, so I can only ask my senior brother for help. After spending more time with her, he will naturally realize that Xiaoxiao is a good child.”
Shang Baizi shrugged dismissively.
"Senior brother, this is the only thing I've ever asked you to do."
Shang Baizi sighed, "Alright, alright, since it's my junior sister's request, how can I, her senior brother, refuse?"
"Thank you, senior brother."
With the matter of Xiaoxiao's apprenticeship resolved, Feng Guang felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart. Xiaoxiao's fearless nature meant that she would likely suffer mistreatment no matter which serious elder she was under. Only Shang Baizi would not take offense even if the child offended him.
Because of Jin Ye's connection with the Xuanmen, Feng Guang rarely went out after returning to Haomiao Peak. After spending a few days in boredom, she remembered that when Li Qing came to find her a few days ago, she had put away the Hanyuan Sword before saying goodbye to Fang Yue. Thinking about it, she realized that she had been too impolite.
To avoid awkwardness in future conversations, she took out the Cold Abyss Sword and tentatively asked, "Fang Yue, are you there?"
Two words were uttered softly from the other end: "I'm here."
Feng Guang glanced at the sky outside and said, "It doesn't seem to be the time for you to practice your sword."
So why did he take out the Cold Abyss Sword?
“The seal on the Demon Suppression Tower has shown signs of weakening. I am here to reinforce the seal on the Demon Suppression Tower as ordered by my sect.”
"What? You're in the Demon Suppression Tower?" Feng Guang was surprised. The Demon Suppression Tower of the Xuanmen was a forbidden area, where countless dangerous demons were imprisoned. Even if the sect leader and elders of the Xuanmen went in, they might not be able to come out safely. So it was not surprising that Fang Yue always carried the Cold Abyss Sword.
