Chapter 307 Gentle Senior Brother 15 From being just another senior brother to being addressed with his full name, it really wasn't easy.
I just don't know if Little Ice Cube will be able to call him A Yuan in the future.
Mu Yuan coughed lightly and got back to the main topic.
"Speaking of which, seeing Junior Sister's Star River Reversal move just now reminded me of some interesting things that happened during my early training days..."
Instead of pointing out the problem directly, he seemed to recall something and began to speak casually and gently.
Mu Yuan spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he were sharing a trivial past event, which he found quite amusing.
As he spoke, he gestured, without using any spiritual power, simply indicating the feeling of a slight concentration of intention that naturally bypasses the barrier.
His words were tactful, sounding entirely like he was sharing interesting stories of his experiences and insights while traveling, without any hint of instruction.
Zi Xi's originally calm eyes suddenly brightened after hearing his words.
She immediately closed her eyes and concentrated on recalling the sword move she had just made, trying to guide her spiritual energy according to the mindset that Mu Yuan had described—a seemingly retractable yet not retractable, natural detour.
A moment later, she swung her sword again.
Sure enough, the feeling of sluggishness disappeared abruptly.
The sword techniques flowed with unparalleled smoothness and fluidity, and their power increased by thirty percent.
Zi Xi sheathed her sword and stood there, her chest rising and falling slightly, a rare smile playing on her lips, and a hint of joy in her usually cool eyes.
So, did this person approach her through Hidden Peak because he saw her as a talented person and wanted to cultivate her as a key talent?
"Zi Xi thanks you for your guidance, Senior Brother."
With a determined look in her eyes, Zi Xi bowed slightly to Mu Yuan.
Looking at her expression, which was no longer so calm and composed, Mu Yuan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.
"Junior Sister Axi has amazing comprehension and understands things immediately. I was just saying it casually. I hope it can inspire her."
His smiles were much more genuine than usual, and he even subtly changed how he addressed her, yet Zi Xi didn't react with any displeasure.
Days passed by.
Mu Yuan came frequently, and before she knew it, Zi Xi's attitude towards Mu Yuan gradually changed from initial unfamiliarity to habitual familiarity.
There was even an occasional sense of familiarity that she herself was unaware of.
When Mu Yuan appears, Zi Xi will no longer be as distant as before, and she will not refuse when he brings gifts that are both public and private.
Sometimes, when Mu Yuan was talking to his master, she would quietly pour two cups of tea for him.
The people of Hidden Peak had long regarded Mu Yuan as one of their own.
Mu Yuan himself also found that he was increasingly enjoying his time at Hidden Peak.
Even here, he was often left speechless by Zi Xi's remarks.
He still often failed in conversations and had to rack his brains to get her to even glance at him.
But compared to assisting my master in handling those incredibly tedious sect affairs at Tianyan Sect, and dealing with the hypocritical pleasantries and scheming of other sects.
The process of outsmarting and outmaneuvering this small iceberg was surprisingly vivid and interesting.
There are no red tape here, only a simple atmosphere and a small, inwardly curled ice cube.
Perhaps Master's absurd idea of finding someone to keep him in check wasn't entirely unreasonable.
Mu Yuan sat on a tree on Hidden Peak, a spirit herb dangling from his mouth, watching Zi Xi instructing Zhao Xiaowan on farming in the distance. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm glow on her aloof figure.
He leaped down from the tree, picked up the cup of coarse yet fragrant spiritual tea on the table, took a sip, and a genuine and soothing smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
This place is so pleasant, it seems pretty good.

On the border between Tianyan Sect and Yinfeng, there is a town for cultivators called Fengqiao Town.
