The heartless Shen Zhuochuan shook his head and raised an eyebrow at the open space in the middle of the courtyard.
The meaning is quite obvious.
Go over there and get beaten up.
Baili Xijiang looked at his master with a pained expression, "Master, save me!"
Song Tingwan lowered her eyes and smiled, looking at him apologetically: "Your uncle asked you to practice shooting, how could I stop him?"
Without a second thought, Baili Xijiang replied, "You're both my master and my aunt, so my uncle will definitely listen to you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhuochuan, who had already walked towards the middle of the courtyard, raised an eyebrow and turned back.
Qin Xi hissed silently, glancing at Wan'er and her apprentice, then at Shen Zhuochuan over there.
Wow, wow!
Everyone tacitly accepts their relationship, but no one has confronted them about it yet.
Baili Xijiang was stunned after he finished speaking, and even forgot to wail. He glanced cautiously at his master and then at his uncle.
However, he was subconsciously relieved that his sister wasn't there.
"No, uh—"
Oops.
For the first time, Baili Xijiang hated himself for speaking so quickly.
Shen Zhuochuan chuckled, looked at Song Tingwan tenderly, and then walked back to her nephew, grabbing him by the collar with a hint of annoyance. "Even your aunt can't save you."
Qin Xi chuckled twice and teased Wan'er in a low voice, "Little auntie, hehe."
Song Tingwan tapped her forehead and smiled gently.
Qin Xi smiled and dodged slightly, "Luckily, my sister isn't here, otherwise there would be one more person to beat up Baili."
"Not necessarily, perhaps Ayao will spar with him directly."
Her little apprentice didn't even get a chance to be beaten.
Qin Xi laughed heartily. The two drank spiritual tea, ate pastries, chatted, and watched Shen Zhuochuan teach Baili Xijiang to practice spear fighting.
Despite being told he would get a beating, Shen Zhuochuan still taught him seriously for a long time.
When he couldn't teach them anything, he would give up and shake his head, then resort to sparring and beating them up.
Oh no, I mean, beat up the dragon.
When Song Siyao and Wan Qiji returned, they saw the uncle and nephew having a friendly exchange.
That's really rare.
The two sat down next to Song Tingwan's two-person theater-watching duo, watching and talking as they went.
"The clan leader designated a place for them, and Wu Ling and his son were also there. Wu Ling said he was worried that the arrival of the ghost cultivators would affect the Yunyin clan, so he wanted to hold a meeting with them first."
Song Tingwan had given prior notice, and the location had been marked out in advance.
She nodded knowingly.
"The new pills I want to refine are for ghost cultivators; I want to give them back their bodies."
When Song Tingwan brought up the matter, her tone remained gentle, but a hint of disappointment could be heard.
"With such strong talent, my sister will definitely be able to refine it again."
"That's right, Wan'er. We'll be the best in the Six Realms in the future. What pill can stump you?"
"What do you mean by 'number one in the Six Realms'?" Wan Qiji asked curiously.
Qin Xi then brought up her earlier daydream with Wan'er.
Song Siyao raised an eyebrow after hearing this, her tone indifferent but revealing pride, "Then I shall be the number one sword cultivator in the Six Realms."
The three girls' gazes fell on Wan Qiji.
Wan Qiji looked up blankly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...Then I am the number one demonic cultivator in the Six Realms?"
Qin Xi burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, that's great! Apart from Baili Xijiang, we are all number one in the Six Realms!"
She spoke rather loudly, and Baili Xijiang, standing in the middle of the courtyard, turned around in annoyance.
"You're ostracizing me!"
"concentrate."
Shen Zhuochuan tapped Baili Xijiang on the head with his gun, and Baili Xijiang turned around with a wronged expression.
"Uncle, you're ostracizing me."
Shen Zhuochuan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Then you should work harder to push your master down."
Baili Xijiang seemed to have overheard something, and took the opportunity to sneak up in front of his master.
"Master, my uncle wants me to surpass you and become the number one in the Six Realms!"
Shen Zhuochuan arrived with a gun, feeling somewhat helpless towards his carefree nephew.
Song Tingwan smiled and handed over handkerchiefs to the two of them to wipe their sweat.
Her voice was gentle: "I wish I could too. Once you surpass me, we, master and disciple, would probably be the most prominent alchemists in ten thousand years."
"That's true, I will try my best, Master."
Baili Xijiang was panting, but had a sweet smile on his face.
It was completely different from how it was in front of Shen Zhuochuan.
Shen Zhuochuan took the tea from Song Tingwan, and after his breathing calmed down, he said helplessly, "He's only this obedient in front of you."
In the clan, even Baili Xijiang's parents couldn't control him, let alone his uncles and aunts.
"Hehe, it's all because my master is so good to me."
The group chatted idly under the moonlight.
Then the matter of Zewu was brought up again.
"I knew it! How could such a romantic move come from such a villain? Clearly, 'Full City of Flowers intoxication' and 'Moon Crane Seeking the Night' are a perfect match."
"That's true. We saw that Yue Hexun's 'Full City of Flowers' technique was more unrestrained and free-spirited."
"Give him some time, and he will stand even higher than the Zewu of the past."
Shen Zhuochuan pondered for a moment, and Yuehe's search for this person showed great promise.
"I hope that everyone will know in the future that 'Full City of Flowers, Drunk Moon, Crane Seeking' is a self-created poem."
Song Tingwan said gently, "Yes, I will."
Someone like Yuehe Xun, given the opportunity to exert his talents, is bound to grow into someone exceptionally brilliant.
They had no doubt about it.
"But we don't know where Zewu has fled to. Could he be plotting to assassinate us from the shadows?" Qin Xi looked around fearfully.
In her mind, Zewu was a dark and wicked person, someone who seemed ready to rush out and kill at any moment.
Song Tingwan and Shen Zhuochuan exchanged glances and spoke at the same time: "Xingyuan."
"Ah, you mean he went to Xingyuan?" Baili Xijiang looked at them curiously.
Song Siyao nodded as well, "I also guessed that he went to Xingyuan."
"Oh right, we've been exchanging barbs with you guys the whole way, and Senior Wu Gan promised to tell us about Xingyuan." Qin Xi slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering this.
