Looking at Yun Wanyan's gentle expression, Yun Qing recalled some things from the water mirror.
After being brought back to Yuntian Sect, Yan Qing only glanced at her briefly before leaving. It was Yun Wanyan who arranged a courtyard and provided her with things.
When she discovered that she was being bullied by Xu Chengyun and others, she was the one who stepped in to stop it. Later, when Yunqing was murdered, it was she who erected the tombstone, and Gu Changyuan secretly burned the paper.
If she hadn't been replaced by Liu Ruyan, she would probably be living a very happy life.
“I am willing to become your disciple.” Yun Qing no longer hesitated and stepped forward to perform a deep bow: “Master, please accept my bow.”
Yun Wanyan helped her up: "From today onwards, you are a direct disciple of Ziyun Peak."
As she spoke, she took out a storage ring from her sleeve: "Inside are the things you need for cultivation and the key to your courtyard. You will come back to Ziyun Peak with me later."
"Your disciple obeys."
Having decided on their destination, the people at Juyingtang gradually dispersed.
The elders were all extremely excited. They never expected that one of the two children who came to seek refuge with the sect leader would have a Heavenly Spiritual Root. It was truly a blessing from heaven for their Yuntian Sect.
Xuanming and Yun Wanyan also led their newly trained disciples back home.
It seems like a happy ending for everyone, but two people are not happy at all: Yan Qing and his daughter Yun Helan.
Yan Qing couldn't understand why Yun Qing was unwilling to join Baiyun Peak. Yun Wanyan had become increasingly indifferent in recent years, and was like an ice sculpture on weekdays. How could she possibly teach her disciples with care?
Yun Helan was simply jealous. They both had water-elemental roots, but Yun Qing's talent was superior to hers. If Yun Qing cultivated faster than her, what prestige would she have left in the sect?
Why? Why did this person have to appear out of nowhere and try to steal her things?
In a small courtyard in Qinghe Town.
Liu Ruyan sat in her room, completely bewildered. Why did Yun Qing go to the Yun Tian Sect? Did she know about her past?
These questions, like threads, entangled her mind, preventing her from finding peace.
After sitting blankly for a while, Liu Ruyan suddenly stood up from the chair and rushed into the bedroom.
Opening the cabinet and taking out the money she had saved over the years, Liu Ruyan quickly packed her things and then lay down on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Early the next morning, Liu Ruyan, carrying her packed bundle, immediately set off for the Yuntian Sect.
Baiyun Mountain is still the same as it was eight years ago, sparsely populated, with only two small villages surrounding the Yuntian Sect.
Liu Ruyan covered herself up tightly, as if afraid of being recognized. She walked furtively in one direction, towards the Zhao Family Medical Clinic.
Inside the clinic, Dr. Zhao, his hair gray, sat at the front attending to patients. His son sat behind the counter, examining patients; he had already begun learning pulse diagnosis when Liu Ruyan left.
Approaching Doctor Zhao, Liu Ruyan pulled down the veil covering her face: "Uncle Zhao, it's me, Ruyan. Is your aunt here?"
Just then, Aunt Zhao came out from the backyard carrying the dried medicinal herbs. When she saw her, her cloudy eyes lit up: "Ruyan, is that you?"
Liu Ruyan was very touched, she didn't expect that Aunt Zhao would recognize her so quickly.
The two went to the backyard to catch up. Liu Ruyan subtly inquired about many things concerning the Yuntian Sect, especially Yun Helan. Hearing that she was highly favored in the Yuntian Sect, Liu Ruyan felt relieved.
"However, something big happened at Yuntian Sect yesterday," Aunt Zhao said, sorting through the medicinal herbs in her hands as she shared the latest news.
Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, and she nervously gripped her sleeve, afraid of hearing bad news: "What serious matter?"
"I heard it from others. Two children went to Yuntian Sect to become disciples. They were both very talented. The boy became a disciple of Qingyun Peak, and the girl became a personal disciple of Master Ziyun."
"What?" Liu Ruyan stood up abruptly, excitedly grabbing Aunt Zhao: "What's that girl's name?"
Aunt Zhao stumbled as she was grabbed, unable to understand Liu Ruyan's reaction: "I didn't know that, but it seems her surname is 'Yun'. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Liu Ruyan instantly lost all strength and collapsed to the ground: "How could this happen?"
...
Yuntian Sect, Ziyun Peak.
Although Yun Qing had seen many places of the Yun Tian Sect in the water mirror, she was unfamiliar with Zi Yun Peak.
Yesterday, Yun Wanyan took her to the courtyard closest to the main hall. Worried that she might not be used to it, she even decorated the room in the style of a mortal woman's room.
Yun Qing didn't mind these things. The courtyard she lived in in Qinghe Town was very small and she didn't have her own room. The courtyard in front of her was already very luxurious to her, with beautiful flowers planted everywhere.
Considering that she did not practice fasting, Yun Wanyan instructed the people on the back mountain to bring her food in the morning.
So the next day, Yun Qing finished her breakfast before going to the main hall to cultivate with Yun Wanyan.
Seeing Yun Qing dressed in a white training uniform and looking so serious, Yun Wanyan couldn't help but pinch her fair and tender face.
Yun Qing looked at her accusingly: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Ahem!" A hint of embarrassment appeared on Yun Wanyan's usually indifferent face. She was shocked that she had made such a childish move.
Seeing Yun Qing's resentful little eyes, he silently looked away: "I just wanted to know if you were getting used to the Yun Tian Sect."
Yun Qing really didn't know what this had to do with pinching her cheek.
"Alright, let's get started. Today we're going to learn how to guide Qi into the body." Seeing his puzzled look, Yun Wanyan quickly changed the subject.
After a morning of learning, Yunqing successfully mastered the technique of guiding qi into the body.
This level of comprehension is unparalleled among the younger generation of disciples. Yun Wanyan was pleasantly surprised and handed a booklet to Yun Qing.
"You learn very quickly. Here are some cultivation methods that are beneficial to water spirit roots. You can take a look at them in your spare time."
Yun Qing happily accepted it: "Thank you, Master, you are so kind."
Yun Wanyan smiled and patted her little head: "Alright, that's enough for today's cultivation. You can practice Qi Induction again this afternoon. Now go back and eat."
"Yes, disciple takes his leave."
When Yun Qing returned to her residence, she sensed movement in the water mirror inside her storage ring and immediately took it out.
After staring at herself in the mirror for a while, Yun Qing realized that it was Liu Ruyan who had come.
What she didn't expect was that Liu Ruyan didn't come to find her immediately, but instead secretly met with Yun Helan.
Yun Helan's talent was average, and she rarely cultivated. What she liked most was to wander around the villages near the Yuntian Sect and demonstrate her magic to the villagers.
Within the Yuntian Sect, her cultivation level wasn't considered high, but it was enough to impress ordinary people. Whenever those people looked at her with envy or admiration, it greatly satisfied Yun Helan's vanity.
Having learned of this news, Liu Ruyan immediately went to the place where Yun Helan often appeared to wait for her.
