Shen Muqing was still marveling at how big the house was, much bigger than Yun Ruoyue's. It was indeed worthy of being the residence of an immortal. Just from the outside, it looked very classy.
She looked at her house with satisfaction, walked around outside the house a few times, and found a cave behind it. Inside the cave was a cold spring, which was still emitting cold air.
Xuan Yan followed behind her, his face showing no impatience, but rather softening his usually aloof expression.
"Master, what is this?"
Curious, Shen Muqing squatted down and reached out to examine her fingers. A chilling coldness seeped into her body from her fingers, making her shiver.
"Healing Spring".
As the name suggests, it heals injuries; no matter how serious the injury, soaking in this cold spring will make it heal.
Xuan Yan explained that there was actually another use for it, but he didn't say it. Shen Muqing would find out later.
She had roughly toured Canghua Mountain. The spiritual energy here was several times richer than outside. Shen Muqing felt comfortable all over, down to her pores. Cultivating here would definitely be twice as effective.
There were also many colorful spirit flowers planted in the front yard, which could be seen from Shen Muqing's room. There was also a large peach tree with pink petals, which looked like a giant pink flower from a distance.
You can smell the faint fragrance of peach trees from time to time; it's just right, not too strong, not too overpowering, and not too faint either.
Shen Muqing settled down on Canghua Mountain, which was simply paradise.
"Master, I'm going to my senior sister's to pack some of my things first."
"good."
According to seniority, Shen Muqing shouldn't call Yun Ruoyue "Senior Sister," but she wanted to call her that anyway. Don't underestimate her just because she's a good-for-nothing. After becoming Xuan Yan's only disciple, few in the sect have a higher status than her. Even Ling Yeyao has to call her "Uncle-Master." She's now on the same generation as his master.
Shen Muqing quickly arrived at Yun Ruoyue's Ruoyue Peak to find her, only to find another person in the house.
"Luo Yi, what are you doing here?"
She was surprised, her eyes scanning back and forth between the two of them; something was amiss.
"I've become your disciple." Luo Yi smiled as always, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.
Yun Ruoyue didn't seem to care much. "I took him in because he was so pitiful."
At that time, only Luo Yi remained in the hall without anyone choosing him. His face lacked its usual smile, and he lowered his head with slightly red eyes. Yun Ruoyue immediately noticed him. He looked pitiful, as if he had been bullied by someone, like a frightened little rabbit.
In the end, Yun Ruoyue couldn't bear it. Besides, seeing him chatting and laughing with Shen Muqing, he seemed to be a good person. Anyway, if she was going to take on a disciple, it didn't matter who she took on.
"Are you sure it wasn't lust at first sight?"
Shen Muqing teased, having spent so much time with Yun Ruoyue, she knew her personality inside and out. She often lamented in Yun Ruoyue's ear that she had never even held a young boy's hand before she was transported to another world, and even as a married woman.
"Qingqing, don't talk nonsense. I'm an upright person." Yun Ruoyue said calmly and without blushing. She would never say that she took Luo Yi as her disciple because he was good-looking. That's not it.
"Alright, our Yueyue is the most upright person, the most upright person in the entire Qingyun Sect."
"Alright, that's enough."
Luo Yi watched the two's amusing interaction with a smile in his eyes. It seemed that his master was not as interesting as he had thought.
The atmosphere was cheerful and peaceful. Yun Ruoyue suggested that they celebrate together. She had taken on a disciple, and Shen Muqing had become her apprentice. Such a big event should be celebrated properly.
She took out her treasured bamboo wine, saying, "This wine is brewed from bamboo that has grown for a hundred years. I really went all out."
Shen Muqing didn't understand, but subconsciously she felt it was very sophisticated. A hundred years, huh? How many hundred years does one have in a lifetime? Some people never get to drink it in their entire lives.
"Dry!"
"Luo Yi, come too, don't be shy." Yun Ruoyue called him over. She didn't care much about etiquette and hierarchy; drinking was more fun when everyone was drinking together.
"good."
In the pavilion, the three sat facing each other. Yun Ruoyue spoke first: "Qingqing, you're amazing. You even managed to win over Master Xu Lin. Do you have any experience to share?"
"No, I don't know why Master chose me as his disciple."
Shen Muqing wasn't lying; she genuinely didn't know, and even she herself found it hard to believe that such good fortune had finally come her way.
"Qingqing, you must study hard with your master. He is the most powerful person in the world. You should learn from him and teach me."
Yun Ruoyue had been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for a long time, unable to break through to the Out-of-Body stage. She was also a little anxious, as she knew that the stronger she was, the better, since she was still too weak.
“No problem.” Shen Muqing picked up the wine cup and drank one cup after another. The bamboo wine first had the unique fragrance of bamboo, was sweet and mellow, and then had a slightly astringent taste, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
"By the way, Qingqing, you have no idea how funny Jiang Duxue's expression was when you were chosen by Master, and how ugly her jealous face was."
"And the expression on Ling Yeyao's face when he found out I had taken on a male disciple was truly fascinating."
"Men's ridiculous possessiveness."
Yun Ruoyue spoke boldly, opening another jar of wine and pouring it into Shen Muqing's cup. She also refilled Luo Yi's cup, watching Luo Yi sip the wine little by little.
“Apprentice, that’s not how you drink wine. You have to do it like me, watch.”
After saying that, he picked up a jar and gulped down several mouthfuls. "Drink it like this, you know?"
Luo Yi: "Okay, Master."
He picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Perhaps he had never drunk such strong liquor before, because he choked and his face turned red. He coughed, "Cough cough cough, Master, cough cough, is that so?"
"Brother, you still need to practice."
Seeing Yun Ruoyue's bold way of drinking, Shen Muqing imitated her, picking up a jar of wine and pouring it into his mouth. Although he choked, he found it incredibly refreshing to drink like this.
"Cheers, Yueyue!"
"Dry!"
The two men held up wine jars, while Luo Yi held up a small, cute wine cup, so Yun Ruoyue and Shen Muqing gave him a look.
Luo Yi put down his wine glass, picked up the wine jar, and the two women smiled and said together, "Cheers!"
"Cheers." Luo Yi didn't quite know what "cheers" meant, but he guessed it meant clinking glasses together. He quietly echoed their words. He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time, and he wished time could stand still at this moment.
Until the moon shone high in the sky, Yun Ruoyue, drunk, kept pulling the two of them to continue.
"Yueyue, I can't take it anymore, my head is so dizzy, how come you have two heads?"
"Yueyue, I think there's something wrong with my eyes. I'm seeing two identical versions of you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ruoyue became alert. "Hey! Which monster dares to impersonate me? Show yourself at once!"
She gestured, summoning her sword, and waved it haphazardly, looking neither threatening nor comical.
Luo Yi was both amused and exasperated. Both of them were drunk, leaving him the only sober one. Upon hearing Yun Ruoyue's words, a hint of unease flashed in his eyes before disappearing.
