Wu Xiuyun is now in the middle stage of Qi training. She doesn't want to wait any longer. She wants to tell her senior brother that he has always been in her heart. The two of them can practice together and become a fairy couple that everyone envies.
"Junior sister, I'm in a hurry to report to the master, so I'll leave first." Without waiting for Wu Xiuyun to finish her words, Liu Jingyu said hurriedly, using his body skills to leave quickly.
"Brother, Brother..." Wu Xiuyun stamped her feet in anger. She knew Liu Jingyu's errand was merely to escort Chen Sanjiang out of the secret realm, not a particularly important matter. A little delay in reporting to the master wasn't a big deal. So, was he rejecting her feelings by running so quickly?
Wu Xiuyun couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of this possibility. When Wu Xiuyun entered the Yushan Sect, Liu Jingyu was already a handsome young man. The eldest brother, Lin Yifeng, was thirty years older than Wu Xiuyun and had always been aloof. He was also busy taking care of the daily affairs for the master and had no time to pay attention to Wu Xiuyun.
On the contrary, the second senior brother, Liu Jingyu, had always shown kindness to Wu Xiuyun since she joined the sect. Before Wu Xiuyun was ten years old, Liu Jingyu would always bring her small snacks like preserved fruits whenever he went out. After Wu Xiuyun grew into a young girl, Liu Jingyu would occasionally give her small gifts like headbands to please her.
Wu Xiuyun was very disappointed. She had always thought that Liu Jingyu also had feelings for her, otherwise, she would not have fallen so deeply in love with him.
Liu Jingyu ran so fast that he didn't notice Wu Xiuyun standing there staring at him blankly. But even if Liu Jingyu knew, he wouldn't turn back. Ever since he accidentally learned about his master's feelings for his junior sister, Liu Jingyu had never dared to have any fantasies about Wu Xiuyun. The small gifts he usually gave her to please her were just Liu Jingyu's tricks. Liu Jingyu was not interested in Wu Xiuyun as a person, but because she would give him the elixir.
Liu Jingyu used his body skills to run for a while, and only stopped slowly when Wu Xiuyun was left out of sight.
"I was so scared. What a waste of those pills," Liu Jingyu muttered. After today, Junior Sister probably won't come to see him again, right? Thinking of those pills that didn't cost a single Spirit Pearl, Liu Jingyu couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
Liu Jingyu's two sentences were very abrupt, with no connection between them, but Zhou Yuanyuan understood. It seems that this guy is being nice to Wu Xiuyun in order to cheat her out of the elixir. Zhou Yuanyuan was very upset.
Zhou Yuanyuan's consciousness "saw" Wu Xiuyun's grief, and upon seeing Liu Jingyu's filthy thoughts, her impression of him worsened. How could such a narrow-minded and petty-minded person actually be a direct disciple of the Yushan Sect's leader? Could this Yushan Sect truly be trustworthy?
"Master, Xiaoyu thinks Wu Xiuyun is pretty, not scary at all. Although she's nowhere near as pretty as you." Xiaoyu's voice rang out as Zhou Yuanyuan was lost in thought. Xiaoyu's attention was different; she was stumped by Liu Jingyu's words, "I'm scared to death." Xiaoyu didn't have the human mindset to think things through; she assumed Liu Jingyu was referring to Wu Xiuyun's appearance as a fright.
According to the aesthetic standards of this time and space, although Wu Xiuyun's appearance was not a great beauty, she looked pretty and charming. Xiaoyu couldn't understand why Liu Jingyu said that.
Wow! Has Xiaoyu also learned to flatter? Zhou Yuanyuan was amused by Xiaoyu's words, "She's far inferior to the master."
"Master, Xiaoyu, I'm telling you the truth, you're getting more and more beautiful. More beautiful than...more beautiful than Hu Sanniang!" Xiaoyu got anxious when Zhou Yuanyuan questioned her compliments. She wanted to find a reference to illustrate her master's current beauty, and after searching around, she found that among the beauties around Zhou Yuanyuan, only Hu Sanniang could rival her. Hu Sanniang was a member of the Qingqiu fox clan, born with extraordinary beauty.
"Yeah, Boss Xiaoyu is right. What's Hu Sanniang? The master is the most beautiful!" Chaos Pearl quickly supported Xiaoyu, and of course, didn't forget to step on Hu Sanniang. Chaos Pearl still remembers that Hu Sanniang followed the master before it!
"You two, stop talking nonsense. Business is important." Zhou Yuanyuan hurriedly reminded them, noticing their two spiritual treasures were starting to veer off topic. If she hadn't been worried about the number of experts within the Yushan Sect, Zhou Yuanyuan would have wanted to unleash her spiritual sense to search for Wen Ziqing. Sigh! It's been three days. Brother Ziqing should be alright, right?
Zhou Yuanyuan could only pin her hopes on Liu Jingyu, hoping that following him would reveal clues about Wen Ziqing. At the very least, they could follow Liu Jingyu to find Taoist Lingyun, the head of the Yushan Sect! As for what to do after finding Taoist Lingyun, Zhou Yuanyuan had no idea. Alas! Let's just take it one step at a time!
Liu Jingyu continued walking along the mountain path. Zhou Yuanyuan found it strange. The Yushan Sect was a vast place, with mountains connected to one another. Why didn't Liu Jingyu use magic to speed up his journey? Why did he have to walk so slowly?
On the way, groups of monks, after seeing Liu Jingyu, bowed to him respectfully and called out, "Senior Brother Liu."
Seeing those inner disciples who were in the early or middle stages of Qi training, Liu Jingyu nodded with a smile, but did not pause at all.
Behind Liu Jingyu came the chattering voices of the disciples:
"Senior Brother Liu is really approachable."
"Among the Master's disciples, Senior Brother Liu is the kindest."
"It would be great if I could be accepted as a disciple by the headmaster like Senior Brother Liu."
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Senior Brother Liu's cultivation has reached a new level. Oh my, I have to concentrate on cultivation too."
"Senior Brother Liu is my idol!"
······
As Liu Jingyu listened to the praises from his fellow junior brothers and sisters, he felt that the depression in his heart had dissipated a lot, and even his steps became lighter.
After half an hour, Liu Jingyu arrived at the foot of a mountain that towered into the clouds. Few cultivators passed by the foot of this mountain. Liu Jingyu glanced at the top of the mountain and began to climb.
Ten minutes later, Liu Jingyu arrived at the edge of a pine forest.
A man in gray rushed out of the woods and called softly, "Jingyu."
"Brother, what brought you here? And why are you wearing my robes? If you're caught by the Law Enforcement Hall disciples, you'll..." Liu Jingyu's face turned grim. Judging by his brother's clothing, it was clearly his robes. The Yushan Sect had strict rules. The peak masters and the sect leader's direct disciples wore gray robes, while elite disciples wore black, inner disciples wore cyan, outer disciples wore blue, and menial disciples wore green.
Liu Jingyu's brother Liu Jingyun is an inner disciple and should wear blue clothes.
