Jiang Wenjing nodded solemnly.
“The path of cultivation is inherently about defying fate and changing destiny. Hardships are commonplace. If I hadn’t thought things through carefully, I certainly wouldn’t have made such a decision.”
A hint of admiration flashed in Yun Lian's eyes.
As expected of a future villainous mastermind, he has a very clear understanding of his goals.
"Alright, then I will try my best to get you into the Misty Sect."
“Thank you, Master!”
Between master and disciple, there is no need for words of thanks.
Jiang Wenjing suddenly remembered a very serious question.
What will happen to our master if both brothers join a sect?
"Master, with your cultivation level, you are more than qualified to join some ordinary sects. If my brother and I both go to study under a master, will you want to join another sect?"
The thought of having the chance to meet his master in the Immortal Sect Competition filled Jiang Wenjing with excitement.
Even his eyes, which were usually filled with ice, radiated a burning light.
His gaze was intense when he stared at someone.
Yun Lian felt that her thoughts and ideas would be inadvertently discovered by him through those eyes.
He turned his face away without making a sound before slowly opening his mouth.
"Exploring the secluded valley is wonderful. If I could spend my remaining years here, it would be a perfect thing for me."
"Master is getting old and doesn't want to travel anymore. He only wants to stay in the valley and wait for you to return after you've completed your studies before you go off to roam the world."
Jiang Wenjing couldn't utter sweet words to make people happy.
They only explain things in a serious and methodical way.
"Master is only twenty-three years old this year, only nine years older than me, not old at all."
"???"
It was only then that Yun Lian realized that neither of the brothers had reached adulthood.
But after thinking about it carefully, I calmed down.
In the cultivation world, it's common practice to start cultivating early; the earlier one forms the Golden Core, the sooner one can solidify their appearance.
In addition, the spiritual fruits and spiritual flesh that the two brothers had been eating were things that ordinary people could hardly touch, so the two brothers had pleasing appearances.
At only 14 years old, he is already nearly 1.8 meters tall.
Yun Lian was in a daze and almost thought she had returned to the Yun Kingdom.
The men of Yun Kingdom also mature very quickly and are quite precocious.
Yun Lian looked at Jiang Wenjing, who couldn't utter a word for a long time but was trying to cheer her up, and a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.
"Wen Jing, you two brothers can go out and explore without worry. Don't worry about me. Your master rarely leaves the house, so he will be fine."
Jiang Wenjing responded in a low voice.
"good."
The dishes on the table remained at a constant temperature. The master and apprentice spoke very little, yet the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
One person admires the moon, while another listens to the sound of the waves; they are perfectly in sync.

The day Yun Lian and I agreed to go out was approaching.
Jiang Wenjing acted like a mother hen, handing Yun Lian dried meat one moment and packing her peach blossom wine the next.
"Master, if you encounter someone you can't defeat while you're traveling, come back immediately and I'll avenge you in the future."
Yun Lian tapped his forehead with her finger, clearly annoyed.
"Wen Jing, don't worry. Master is just going out for a stroll. He's not deliberately causing trouble. Rest assured, Master will definitely not take action if he can avoid it."
Jiang Zeqi pouted and came over to hug Yun Lian.
"Master, is it really not okay to take Zeqi with us?"
He really wanted to be with his master, no matter where they went.
Yun Lian moved his head away from her shoulder: "Jiang Si Sui, after you form your core, your master will allow you to go wherever you want, but not now. With my trashy combat power, I can only run away when I encounter someone."
"If I take you with me, we'll both just get beaten up."
Jiang Zeqi reluctantly moved away from Yun Lian.
"Then Master, you must promise me that you will bring me a little fox spirit pen."
The little fox on Yun Lian's other shoulder seemed to sense that he was talking to it, curled its fluffy, snow-white tail around Yun Lian's neck, and then fell fast asleep again.
"OK."
"You two brothers must never forget to temper your bodies every day."
"Yes, Master."
The two stood at the entrance of the valley, gazing at Yun Lian until her figure disappeared from sight, at which point the smiles on their faces vanished as well.
Jiang Wenjing mimicked his tone coldly: "Master~ Don't forget my little fox spirit brush~ Jiang Zeqi, aren't you ashamed? At your age, you're still acting like a child."
Jiang Zeqi's innocent smile turned into a cold snort.
"When it comes to being shameful, no one can compare to you! Jiang Wenjing, you scheming man, you deliberately got me drunk just to spend more time with your master! If you've got the guts, let's have a duel between real men!"
Jiang Wenjing released his aura, and a gust of wind immediately followed.
"Fine, let's fight. Who's afraid of who? Don't come kneeling on the ground crying and begging for mercy later."
"Hehe, Jiang Kongque, you asked for this. As long as I beat you, I'll be the one to pick up Master when he returns."
As soon as the two brothers finished speaking, a cloud of yellow sand was immediately stirred up.
The stones they were standing on turned to dust.
Jiang Wenjing is a sword cultivator, and the small emerald green sword beside him was a gift from Yun Lian when he successfully induced penetration.
Jiang Zeqi's clothes were quickly torn to shreds by the sword. He dodged and cursed, "Jiang Wenjing, what kind of brother are you? You're afraid to fight me in close combat just because you have a weapon."
Jiang Wenjing made hand seals very quickly, but still managed to respond in time.
"Ha, Jiang Zeqi, with your tiny brain that's barely the size of a mung bean, you think you can trick me into letting you get close? Maybe in your next life."
The same thought popped into their minds at the same time.
Kill him.
Although Jiang Zeqi appears gentle and refined, he is a body cultivator who focuses on body refinement and is practically a human weapon.
His hair, his fingers, his knees—all are his most powerful weapons, allowing him to become one with others.
After the two brothers finished fighting, the valley was covered in more wounds.
Even many of the boulders have disappeared.

Leisure City.
Yun Lian was completely wrapped in a black robe, and even the little fox that had always followed her was wrapped up as well.
Xiaoyao City is the only city where immortals, demons, and monsters can coexist peacefully.
All sorts of people can be found here.
Therefore, the trade was most prosperous.
Yun Lian held the Mind Stone in her hand, weighing it in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "In novels, if the protagonist doesn't have enough money when he goes out, there will immediately be blind people coming up to him."
Why is everything so calm and peaceful here? That's strange. Is it because I'm not the main character?
Besides buying Jiang Zeqi a magic brush to draw formations, she also wanted to get Jiang Wenjing a new sword.
The sword in his hand was one that the original owner had bought with all his might when he had the fewest resources available.
Yun Lian frowned as she surveyed her surroundings.
"Master, if you can't give me spirit stones, at least you can point me in the right direction and tell me where someone is causing trouble."
The system watched as the female protagonist of the world argued with someone not far away. It wanted to tell the host to avoid her, but it didn't dare.
Looking at the host's hooded appearance, he didn't seem like a good person.
The system whispered, "Host, someone is robbing a magical artifact in the second alley to the west. However... that person is the female protagonist of the world. Facing her now might bring a lot of trouble."
Yun Lian's eyes lit up when she heard that she was the female lead of the world.
"Then she'll be my portable spirit stone pouch~ Little Tong, I'll try my best to let you come out and play in the next world~"
