"Sister Tao, do you mean that Master wants to train Yun Zhan?" Xiao Hao was so surprised that he spun around in circles.
"It should be." Yan Xi nodded.
"But, but..." Xiao Hao hesitated, "That Yun Zhan has very poor aptitude."
"What does it matter if someone's aptitude is poor when they meet their master?" Yuehua smiled. "Don't you think Wukong and the others have good aptitude?"
"That's true." Xiao Hao, who had transformed into a tiny speck of light, nodded up and down in agreement.
"So, there's nothing to be surprised about," Yuehua said calmly, sitting gracefully by the pond, fiddling with a green lotus leaf.
"Really?" Xiao Hao paused for a moment and said, "But Yun Zhan is the only one whose aptitude was changed by the master using his own bloodline power."
Xiao Hao's words seemed to put the courtyard on pause.
All the spirit pets stood there, stunned.
After a long pause, Ling Yuan excitedly waved the grapevine and uttered a classic Chinese phrase: "Holy crap..."
Even the usually composed Yan Xi was choked and started coughing.
The spirit pets looked at each other, unsure how to address the issue.
Xiao Hao shrank back and said, "I should go back. If I stay out too long, my master will become suspicious."
After saying that, the little light spot disappeared in a flash.
"Master wouldn't be..." Mo Xuan pulled his head back into the tortoise shell before continuing, "...having taken a fancy to Yun Zhan, would he?"
"Old tortoise, what nonsense are you spouting?" Li Xue flicked her sleeve, sending Mo Xuan flying three zhang away.
The owner has been single for millions of years, and as the owner's closest spirit pets and artifact spirits, they naturally hope that the owner will have a good partner and be together.
It knew that its master was the most powerful person in the world.
No one can rival him.
Therefore, they never expect their partner to be exceptionally strong.
But it can't be ridiculously weak, right?
That Yun Zhan, I could slap him so hard he'd be sent flying, not even a speck of dust left.
Aside from being good-looking, she's good for nothing.
The master wouldn't be so shallow.
"The old tortoise might not be wrong," Ling Yuan hissed, as if he had a toothache.
"Is our master really going to bloom like an iron tree?" Huo Qing asked, his cheek puffed out, his words muffled.
“Very likely,” Xingyi said, wagging her tail.
"This is a good thing," Yunlan said, shifting her position as she lay down and yawning.
"Good news?" Li Xue frowned.
"If Master has truly found a partner to stay with, shouldn't we, as spirit pets, offer our blessings?" Yunlan asked, raising her eyes.
"But, isn't that Yun Zhan too weak?" Huo Qing said with some hesitation.
“Weak? That was only in the past,” Yunlan emphasized.
“Tiger Girl is right.” Yuehua sat with her legs crossed: “With Master’s drop of blood, his future achievements will surely surpass ours.”
“Yes, his aptitude is gradually improving, and his destiny has changed. His future achievements are limitless.” Yan Xi nodded.
Li Xue lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then rolled up her sleeves.
"Where are you going?" Yan Xi hurriedly wrapped a branch around Li Xue's arm and asked.
Judging from this posture, it looks like they're going to pick a fight.
Is he going to challenge Yun Zhan to a duel?
That's absolutely unacceptable.
Yun Zhan is still very weak; Li Xue could blow him away with a single breath.
"You can't use force," Yan Xi said hurriedly.
"Sister Tao, am I that kind of person?" Li Xue asked helplessly, spreading her hands.
"You're not human," Ling Yuan muttered.
Li Xue's eyebrows shot up: "You dead grape, what are you saying?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Ling Yuan's tone softened slightly: "You are the spirit of a sacred artifact, a god, of course you are not human."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan, who had just climbed back up, burst into laughter.
Then he was whipped away by Ling Yuan's vine.
Yunlan shook her head. This silly turtle.
"What are you planning to do with your sleeves rolled up?" Yan Xi asked.
“I’ll keep an eye on Yun Zhan,” Li Xue said.
"Surveillance...does it require rolling up your sleeves?" Fire Spirit tilted her head and blinked as she asked.
"If he dares to act recklessly, I'll just kill him," Li Xue said angrily.
"This is just our speculation right now. The master hasn't officially revealed his identity yet, and he probably never dared to even dream of it," Yuehua added.
“Sister Lian is right.” Yunlan stretched. “Let’s see what happens first.”
“Yes, let’s wait and see.” Yan Xi nodded as well: “Maybe we’re just overthinking it.”
“It’s not an overreaction,” Ling Yuan said. “In all these millions of years, our master has never shared his bloodline power with anyone else.”
“Yes, Yun Zhan is the first one.” Xing Yi jumped out of the water and said.
"Let's wait and see," Yan Xi sighed and said.
"Okay." All the spirit pets nodded.
"Li Xue, don't do anything reckless." Yan Xi warned emphatically, "Right now, the most important thing is for the master to return to his original state. Let everything else take its natural course."
"I understand." Li Xue nodded.
"The master has come out, disperse." Yan Xi swayed her branches, and the green light shield disappeared.
The spirit pets scattered instantly.
Go do what you're supposed to do.
Only Mo Xuan, having climbed halfway up, encountered Bai Qingqing and Yun Zhan, who were coming out of the study.
Bai Qingqing bent down and picked up Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan blinked his eyes, then rubbed his little head against Bai Qingqing's palm.
Then, it squinted its eyes and smiled in a very human-like way.
"So cute," Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
Suddenly, I remembered what the Turtle Prime Minister had said earlier: that the little turtle had the bloodline of Xuanwu.
Once the world is successfully repaired, the Xuanwu bloodline within the little turtle will awaken.
Wouldn't I then have a divine beast pet?
I just don't know when it will be successfully fixed.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing looked up at Yun Zhan: "Young Master Yun, you are knowledgeable and experienced, do you know where there are large trading venues?"
"A trading place?" Yun Zhan was taken aback and asked, "What does Miss Bai want?"
"I just wanted to take a look around," Bai Qingqing said.
“Yes.” Yun Zhan thought for a moment and said, “The closest one is in Luoyao City, but it’s not time yet.”
"Shouldn't a trading venue be a long-term business?" Bai Qingqing asked.
“It is indeed a long-term business, but the things we usually trade are generally average. We can only find good things during major events,” Yun Zhan said.
"When will the grand event be held?" Bai Qingqing asked again.
"Three months from now," Yun Zhan said. "Is Miss Bai interested?"
"Mm." Bai Qingqing nodded.
“It just so happens that our Cloud Auction House will also be visiting at that time. If Miss Bai is interested, you can come along,” Yun Zhan said.
"Okay, it's settled then," Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
