Qin Du followed Leng Yan to a courtyard shrouded in a formation. Looking at the massive formation before him, Qin Du recalled that in his previous life, after Leng Yan's death, no one was allowed to approach this place. He had also heard from other disciples that the courtyard was almost as big as the sect master's palace.
Qin Du watched Leng Yan dismantle the formation that enveloped the courtyard. As the formation was dismantled, Qin Du could see the courtyard clearly. The courtyard was large, and each room was exquisitely built. On the left side stood a stone table and several stone benches. On the right side of the courtyard stood a lotus pond, with schools of fish swimming in the water, a truly spectacular sight. Clumps of bamboo lined the courtyard walls, creating a tranquil and elegant atmosphere that felt both refined and noble.
Leng Yan brought Qin Du into the yard. The yard was quiet, except for the occasional rustling sound of wind blowing through the bamboo leaves rubbing against each other, and the sound of their footsteps.
Leng Yan entered the courtyard and took a quick look around. She found some bamboo leaves on the ground. She waved her hand and the leaves disappeared.
Leng Yan brought Qin Du to a room. She pushed open the door and took a look inside. Then she turned to look at Qin Du and said, "From today on, you will live in this room."
Qin Du immediately said, "Thank you, Senior Sister." Leng Yan nodded and left. Qin Du saw Leng Yan walk to another room, open the door and walk in. After Leng Yan entered, the door closed immediately. The courtyard returned to silence. After seeing Leng Yan enter the room, Qin Du also walked into his room and closed the door.
Outside, other disciples passed by, bewildered by the revealing of the courtyard, long shrouded in a formation. They asked a senior brother who had joined the sect years earlier, "Brother, who lives here, and why was the formation broken today?" The disciple, who he called "brother," replied, "That's Senior Sister's courtyard. It seems she's emerged from seclusion." The disciple, startled and a bit excited, asked, "Really?" Upon receiving a positive answer, the disciple was overjoyed. He had also heard many legends about Senior Sister Leng Yan.
Leng Yan joined the sect at the age of eleven, achieved great perfection in the Qi training stage in three months, great perfection in the foundation building stage in five months, achieved the Golden Core stage at the age of thirteen, and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of fourteen. In the same year, she won first place in the Taoism conference held by major sects and was awarded the title of the number one genius in the world of cultivation. Afterwards, she followed the sect master to various places for training and was taken to various sects by the sect master to show off. If there were any disciples who refused to obey, she would beat them into submission with her sword. In just half a year, everyone in the world of cultivation knew about Leng Yan, the direct disciple accepted by the sect master of Qingyuan Sect, and everyone praised her as a genius.
At sixteen, she broke through the Spiritual Transformation Stage while training with the Sect Master, having entered countless secret realms. Later, she returned to the Sect for seclusion, but the legends surrounding her spread far and wide. Unexpectedly, today, this legendary Senior Sister has emerged from seclusion. Her beauty, those who have heard of her, has been described as angelic, unforgettable, a sight that makes one want to offer her the best in the world to please her. However, he also heard that Senior Sister was unsympathetic, rejecting all her suitors in favor of her single-minded focus on cultivation.
Thinking of all the things that happened to Leng Yan in the past, the young disciple couldn't help but ask the senior brother beside him: "Senior sister's beauty should be the most mediocre and useless one among her many advantages!" The senior brother smiled and patted his head and said: "Every advantage of senior sister is useful. Okay, let's go. Don't disturb senior sister's peace." After that, the two of them left.
It didn't take long for the news of Leng Yan coming out of seclusion to spread throughout the sect, but everyone in the sect tacitly kept the news secret and did not let it spread to other sects.
Leng Yan's courtyard soon became lively. Some disciples who knew Leng Yan came to show their concern for her, while those who didn't know her wanted to see what this legendary genius in the world of cultivation looked like.
