"yes."
Rong Yu frowned even more deeply.
Knowing full well that you will always fall asleep regardless of the situation, without anyone by your side, and using such an eye-catching face to disguise yourself, what if someone takes advantage of you?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He tightened his grip on the person's hand, glanced in the direction of Shangxu Peak, and finally gave up the idea.
He picked the person up and headed towards the new disciples' quarters.
After everyone left, the group in front of the sect raised their heads and looked in the direction where the silver light disappeared, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wherever the young sect leader appears, there is always an invisible pressure, and today it seems even more severe than usual.
Shaking his head inwardly, the steward noted down the names of the few people still struggling on the jade steps and nodded in satisfaction.
This batch of new disciples is small in number, but of good quality.
The test is still ongoing, and Geng Qi has been taken to the hut where the inner disciples rest.
According to sect rules, newly initiated disciples must rest in the sect after climbing the Jade Ladder. The next day, they will meet the sect leader and the peak masters of each peak. In addition to Shangxu Peak, where the sect leader resides, Tianzhi Sect has eleven other peaks, each specializing in a different area. Based on the spiritual root test, those with good aptitude will be chosen by the peak master or his disciples and can enter the twelve peaks to cultivate.
Those who were not chosen could only stay at the foot of the mountain as outer disciples, and after cultivating for a period of time, they would be selected to become disciples.
The place where Geng Qi rests is where those outer disciples who have been selected to become inner disciples after half a year of cultivation temporarily reside.
After a truly exhausting day, Geng Qi still felt as if he were standing on that crushing jade staircase when he opened his eyes. A moment later, the jade dissipated, and what he saw was still a sea of green, but now he saw curtains.
On the flat and spacious solid wood bed, strange totems were carved on the bed frame and edges. The surrounding spiritual energy was gathering and slowly healing his body.
Before he fell asleep, he was completely exhausted, but now he felt no discomfort whatsoever. He sat up, full of energy, and looked around the room. It was a completely unfamiliar place, and he immediately became wary.
He glanced down and saw that all his storage artifacts were still there and he wasn't injured. He breathed a sigh of relief, but something still felt off.
Just as I was wondering, the door creaked open and someone came in carrying a tray.
Upon seeing that somewhat familiar face, Geng Qi blurted out, "Gao Yao?"
The man looked up at the sound, his eyes lighting up: "Junior brother, you're awake?"
"..."
The title "Junior Brother" defines Geng Qi's current status.
Gao Yao carried the tray and walked quickly to the bedside, placing the items on the table at the head of the bed. "These are newly made disciple robes. Junior brother, please change into them first."
He suddenly paused, "By the way, how did you know my name is Gao Yao?"
Geng Qi's heart skipped a beat, and in a moment of inspiration, he asked, "Um... I mean, do you have any ointment here? Senior brother, are you called Gao Yao?"
"..." Realizing he had misunderstood, Gao Yao scratched his ear and said, "Yes."
Geng Qi laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I didn't mean it."
In all honesty, he really didn't mean it. He had just entered the Tianzhi Sect when he ran into an acquaintance and called for help without thinking!
Gao Yao was quite magnanimous, waving his hands repeatedly and saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, what do you need the plaster for? Are you injured?"
"Uh... just a minor injury."
"Then you wait here, I'll go get you the medicine." Gao Yao said, about to leave, but then suddenly turned back and said, "Why don't you change your clothes first? The initiation ceremony is about to begin."
Geng Qi nodded in agreement. He slept for the entire night. He shook his head to himself and reached for his clothes on the bedside table when his expression suddenly darkened.
He finally realized that something was wrong.
His clothes had been changed!
"Senior brother, wait!" Geng Qi hurriedly called out to the person who had already stepped out of the room, and asked hesitantly, "Senior brother, um... what about my clothes?"
He came wearing a red robe with an ice-armor silk garment underneath, but now he is wearing a pure white close-fitting silk shirt with a moon-white robe on top. Although the ice-armor silk garment is not a valuable item, it was still worn close to his body. Who took it off for him?
Gao Yao took a half step back, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What clothes? You were wearing these clothes when your grandmaster brought you here."
"Grandmaster Uncle?" Geng Qi accurately caught the key information in his words and exclaimed in surprise, "Who did you say brought me here?"
Gao Yao said, "It's Grandmaster Uncle, he's a big shot in our sect. You'd better change quickly, you might even see him at the sect initiation ceremony later!"
"..."
With a smile on his face, Geng Qi left the room. Looking at his clothes, he gradually lost his composure.
