Mao Yifu's legs trembled under the pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator. Fortunately, Zhou Yuanyuan withdrew the pressure as soon as it was released, preventing Mao Yifu from kneeling down and making a fool of himself.
When did such a powerful senior appear in the sect? Mao Yifu secretly groaned in his heart.
Mao Yifu did not dare to neglect the matter. He bowed respectfully towards Zhou Yuanyuan and said, "I am a young man with limited knowledge and talent. I cannot meet you in person. Please forgive me for not being able to meet you in person."
Zhou Yuanyuan waved her hand, but before she could say anything, the door of the courtyard creaked open.
With the sound of the door opening, Mao Daling's figure appeared behind the door.
"Fairy, is that you, fairy?" Before the courtyard door was fully opened, Mao Daling's upper body was already stretched out of the door, looking around anxiously.
After seeing Zhou Yuanyuan, Mao Daling's eyes lit up.
Mao Daling didn't bother to greet her eager brother. She ran out of the door in a hurry and knelt down in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan was startled by Mao Daling's actions and quickly dodged to the side.
"Fairy, I know it's you. Please accept my greeting." Mao Daling moved quickly, kneeling a few steps, kowtowed to Zhou Yuanyuan, and said loudly: "I am Mao Daling of Maoshan Sect. Thank you, fairy, for saving my life half a year ago."
Mao Yi Fu, who was standing aside, looked at his elder sister kneeling on the ground, then secretly glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan, as if thinking about something.
"How do you know it's me?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked in confusion.
Zhou Yuanyuan was really curious about how Mao Daling recognized her. After Zhou Yuanyuan rescued Mao Daling at Xiaoyao Peak, she and Wen Ziqing left without waiting for her to wake up because they were afraid that she would be embarrassed.
"Fairy, my hearing is naturally...special. If I hear a voice once, I can definitely distinguish it accurately the second time I hear it. Just now, you were talking to my brother outside the door. It sounded familiar to me. After listening to a few more sentences, I was sure it was you, Senior."
Zhou Yuanyuan nodded. Mao Daliang's hearing was truly gifted. No wonder she could recognize her!
Mao Daling stared at Zhou Yuanyuan with sparkling eyes, full of gratitude.
During those dark days, Mao Daling couldn't commit suicide even if she wanted to.
On the way back to the Maoshan Sect, Mao Daling heard Mao Yifu say that it was fortunate that the villain "Liu Jingyu" was seriously injured and vomiting blood that day, otherwise, the six of them might not have escaped unscathed. Although Mao Daling didn't say anything, her mind was as clear as a mirror. The person who seriously injured "Liu Jingyu" must have been the one who saved her.
"Yes, yes, my eldest sister has had great hearing since she was young." Mao Yi Fu's face lit up with joy when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan acknowledge his identity as her "benefactor."
Mao Yifu was worried when Zhou Yuanyuan, such a powerful stranger, showed up at the Maoshan Sect! Now, since the senior was the eldest sister's savior, he must be a friend, not an enemy!
"Mao Daling, get up! I'm not going out of my way to save you. I just feel sorry for what's happening." Zhou Yuanyuan ignored the sect leader standing nearby with a grin on his face. She extended her hand to support Mao Daling, who was kneeling on the ground, and felt a gentle force lifting her up.
Mao Daling certainly couldn't let go of the life-saving grace by just bowing twice. After standing up, Mao Daling said gratefully:
"It's just a small favor for the fairy, but it's a life-saving grace for me. I will always remember your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will go to you rain or shine and I will never refuse."
"Well, in that case, I will give you a chance to repay you right away. The sun is scorching, and I don't want to move. I want to go to your boudoir to rest for a few days. What do you think?" Zhou Yuanyuan said teasingly when she saw Mao Daling sincerely thanking her.
"Ah?" Mao Daling was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Please, please, please come in, Fairy. My humble abode is simple, I hope you won't mind."
"I'm not picky. As long as I have food and drink, that's fine." Zhou Yuanyuan walked into the courtyard without any hesitation.
"Big sister?" Mao Yi Fu stood aside and called out.
If Mao Yifu doesn't say anything, his good elder sister will definitely forget about him.
At this moment, Mao Daling only had Zhou Yuanyuan in her eyes and heart, and she didn't notice her younger brother Mao Yifu standing beside her.
After Zhou Yuanyuan walked into Mao Daling's courtyard, Mao Daling turned around to close the door, only to discover the pitiful-looking leader of the Maoshan Sect outside the door.
"Brother, what do you have to do? Why don't you get to work? If you continue to be so lazy, our Maoshan sect will surely be ruined by you." Mao Daling put one hand on his waist and made a teapot shape, and yelled at Mao Yifu.
Before Mao Yi Fu could react, Mao Daliang quickly closed the yard door.
"Sister, I'll go do something right away." The tall and strong Mao Yi Fu, after being yelled at by Mao Daliang, glanced at the tightly closed gate and ran away.
Mao Yifu laughed loudly as he ran.
Great! His eldest sister finally returned to normal after seeing the senior. Such a lively eldest sister, so great!
"Master, there are monks from the Yushan Sect seeking refuge at the mountain gate. Please tell me, should we let them in or drive them away?" Zhou Ming, a disciple of the Maoshan Sect, was wandering in front of the master's hall. When he saw Mao Yifu, he hurried over to greet him.
Six months ago, a Yushan Sect disciple wouldn't have been turned away if they came to Maoshan Sect. Now, with the Maoshan and Yushan Sects at war, Zhou Ming didn't dare make any rash decisions about Yushan Sect disciples seeking refuge. What if the person's offer of refuge was fake, but they were actually a spy? He couldn't bear the responsibility, could he?
"You're asking me about such a trivial matter, Yushan Sect member? Get out of here!" Mao Yifu waved his hand unhappily. As the Sect Leader, he had so many things to do every day, so how could he have the time to bother with the affairs of Yushan Sect disciples? Besides, wartime traitors like these were generally not good people, and their Maoshan Sect wasn't a garbage dump.
"Master, one of the people coming here is Senior Sister Xie Hanmei's younger brother. What do you think..." Zhou Ming hesitated for a moment and added another sentence.
Xie Hanmei is a registered disciple of the Maoshan Patriarch. She is very beautiful and Zhou Ming is also her little fan.
If Xie Hanshi hadn't been among the visitors, Zhou Ming wouldn't have bothered to make this trip!
"Xie Hanshi?" This name emerged in Mao Yifu's mind.
When Taoist Master Daoyan was still alive, he once brought Xie Hanmei to visit Maoshan Sect.
At that time, the ancestor of Maoshan joked with Taoist Master Daoyan that he liked the girl Xie Hanmei very much and asked Taoist Master Daoyan to give Xie Hanmei to Mao Yifu as his wife.
Although Daoyan Zhenjun did not agree at that time, he asked Xie Hanmei for her opinion later.
Xie Hanmei declined the marriage proposal on the grounds that she was devoted to Taoism.
After Xie Hanmei joined the Maoshan Sect, the Maoshan Patriarch brought up the old story again.
