Chapter 423
Shen He had no intention of waiting for his master to return. He didn't want to see the so-called female lead at all, and he didn't care about any hidden reasons.
Shen He got up and left Xuanxiao Peak, even going directly out of the Wanxian Sect to travel.
Qinglin couldn't stop them, so he had no choice but to stay on the peak and wait for his master and junior sister to return.
As the top disciple of Xuanxiao Peak, he couldn't be as willful as Chen He. He had to understand the situation, and if necessary, he was willing to be the villain.
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Qinglin's eyes.
Although he appears to be a refined and gentle immortal, seemingly detached from worldly affairs, he is actually not as mild-mannered and easy to bully as his appearance suggests.
As evening approached, Qinglin sensed that his master had returned to Xuanxiao Peak.
He straightened his robes, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."
A gentle breeze suddenly blew in front of him, and Qinglin felt someone land in front of him. A cold and indifferent voice rang out from above his head.
"I have accepted Rong as my disciple. From now on, she will be your junior sister. As the senior brother, you must take good care of her."
Qinglin clenched his fists, remaining bowed, and dared not rise unless called by his master.
Is his master warning him to treat the new junior sister well?
Qinglin's heart sank, and he said in a strained voice, "Master, shouldn't we reconsider this matter? I feel it might be inappropriate..."
"There's nothing wrong!" Wu Yan patted Rong Rong's shoulder, as if to comfort her, afraid that Rong Rong would be upset if she heard Qing Lin's words.
Rong Rong stood beside Wu Yan and could see the top of Qing Lin's head. Rong Rong remained silent, having already prepared herself mentally when she transmigrated here.
No one in the Myriad Immortals Sect would like or welcome her. They had all heard Jin Ling's inner thoughts and would definitely harbor hostility towards her.
She was already very happy that her master and sect leader were being kind to her; as for her two senior brothers...
Rong Rong didn't care. Two points? Humph!
Rong Rong proudly raised her head, thinking that if all else failed, she would just find another person with great fortune!
Rong Rong's appearance was both adorable and heartbreaking to Wu Yan.
He paused for a moment, then finally placed his large hand on Rong Rong's fluffy head and gently rubbed it.
"Don't be afraid." A gentle voice comforted Rong Rong, "Your senior brother will like you. With me here, no one can bully you!"
Wu Yan spoke these words in the gentlest tone she had ever used in her life.
Qinglin was shocked. "Master?"
He disregarded etiquette, straightened up, and stared wide-eyed at Wu Yan and Rong Rong.
He couldn't finish his sentence. His eyes widened and he stood there, completely stunned. He was no longer the ethereal person he used to be.
It's no wonder he lost his composure, because a fairy-like figure appeared before him—a real fairy who had already ascended to the celestial realm.
She stood atop Xuanxiao Peak, her robes fluttering, untouched by dust, as if she were about to ride the wind and depart at any moment.
Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, as white as snow, and she was bathed in moonlight, dazzling and radiant.
Those clear, bright eyes seemed to gather all the world's spiritual energy; with each glance, a gentle radiance flowed.
The young girl had captivating eyes and exquisite features. Such a stunningly beautiful woman could be described as a darling of the heavens.
For a moment, Qinglin was mesmerized and stunned. He forgot what he was supposed to do and where he was.
He stood there like a wooden figure, motionless.
Even after Wu Yan's face darkened and he turned to leave with Rong Rong, Qing Lin remained standing still.
It wasn't until Jin Ling returned to Xuanxiao Peak and stood before Qing Lin that Qing Lin, in a daze, asked, "Is she Junior Sister?"
Jin Ling's face darkened instantly. Before today, she was the junior sister of Xuanxiao Peak!
Moreover, Qinglin, who used to be aloof and taciturn, has now become dull-witted, seemingly eager to understand the female lead.
Jin Ling gets angry just looking at it!
"Pah! Look at your worthless appearance!" Jin Ling said disdainfully in a low voice before leaving.
He completely ignored Qinglin.
Normally, no matter how softly Jin Ling spoke, Qing Lin could always hear what Jin Ling was saying.
And he would definitely be surprised and angry, but at this moment, Qinglin was already distracted, his mind filled with the stunningly beautiful girl from just now, how could he hear Jinling's words? Did he notice Jinling's disrespectful attitude?
Qinglin ignored Jinling who had left. He arrived at his master's door in a daze, but hesitated and dared not enter rashly. After several hesitations, he finally left first.
Jin Ling coldly watched Qing Lin from afar, thinking that her seemingly aloof and ethereal senior brother was actually a lecherous scoundrel who would forget righteousness for the sake of beauty.
Indoors, Wu Yan taught Rong Rong a set of cultivation techniques and explained the cultivation method in general terms.
He then took out many magical treasures and elixirs and gave them all to Rong Rong.
Rong Rong sweetly thanked her master and unceremoniously put all the treasures into her storage bag.
Having already performed the apprenticeship ceremony during the day, Rong Rong had already received the storage bag and elixirs that all new disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect were required to receive. What Wu Yan was giving her now was an extra one.
Of course, it's better and more than what the sect provides.
Rong Rong couldn't help but sigh, this was much easier than when she was a wild kitten.
After Rong Rong had packed everything up, Wu Yan spoke calmly, "If you have any questions in the future, just ask..."
"I know! Find Senior Brother!" Rong Rong answered cheerfully.
Having read cultivation novels, I also know that Rong Rong in the original timeline story was very shrewd.
It is known that most of the time, the big shots entrust their apprentices to their eldest apprentices to train. They only take time to assess all their disciples to grasp the general direction.
The one who truly dedicates himself to teaching and urges people to cultivate diligently every day is the eldest brother.
Rong Rong looked at Wu Yan with her tail held high, like a smug little cat, as if to say, "Praise me, praise me, I'm so smart."
Wu Yan remained silent, and before Rong Rong could frown in confusion, he finally coughed lightly and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, come and ask your master."
"Huh?" Rong Rong exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Yan moved her fingers unnaturally.
Rong Rong's thinking was correct. In the cultivation world, a disciple is mostly taught by the senior brother, while the master is usually traveling or in seclusion.
In layman's terms, the master guides the disciple's overall cultivation direction, while the senior disciple is responsible for the details of the disciple's cultivation.
Back then, Wu Yan was taught by Senior Brother Tai Wei, which is why Wu Yan and Tai Wei had a very close relationship.
Of Wu Yan's three disciples, only Qing Lin was personally taught by Wu Yan, while Chen He and Jin Ling were taught by Qing Lin.
But now that it's Rong Rong's turn, Wu Yan would rather take care of her himself. Whenever he thinks that if something happens to Rong Rong, the first person he thinks of is Qing Lin instead of him, Wu Yan feels irritated all over.
Wu Yan's mind raced, trying to figure out how to explain things to Rong Rong.
However, Rong Rong spoke first, "I understand, Master."
Her beautiful little face was full of smiles, innocent and carefree, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.
Wu Yan felt a pang in her heart, but remained outwardly calm as she said, "Okay, go ahead. The empty room to the left of the door will be your room from now on. It's your first day here, so get some rest."
"Yes, Master."
