"Brother, why do you only praise Feng Qing'er? Don't you praise me, your junior sister?" Mu Qingluan pouted slightly and shook Xiao Ling's arm with a coquettish look.
"I have been practicing hard on weekdays. I concentrate on studying the techniques and practicing fighting spirit every day. I dare not slack off. You see, my strength has improved a lot compared to before. Even Master and Master Yaochen often praise me in person."

After saying that, Mu Qingluan blinked her eyes playfully, looking so quirky.

"Of course, Junior Sister, I have noticed your progress in cultivation. It has indeed improved a lot, and I really deserve to praise you."

Xiao Ling looked at Mu Qingluan lovingly, with a gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, then said,

"I remember your hard work. When I have some free time, I will bake the elixirs myself and refine some excellent elixirs for you as a reward, and also to help you to improve your cultivation in the future."

When Mu Qingluan heard Xiao Ling's words, her already bright eyes suddenly became even more sparkling as if they contained thousands of stars. The joy on her face was beyond words, and she looked like a happy little bird.

"Senior Brother, you are the best!" Mu Qingluan called out in a tender voice. Before she finished her words, she tapped the ground lightly with her toes, jumped up, and took advantage of Xiao Ling's unpreparedness to quickly give him a light kiss on the side of his face. The "smack" sound was particularly clear in this quiet atmosphere.

After the kiss, Mu Qingluan landed steadily on the ground with a little smugness on her face. She even raised her eyebrows in the direction of Feng Qing'er in a playful manner. There was a clear provocation in her eyes, which she did not conceal at all.

In response to Mu Qingluan's sudden "attack", Xiao Ling just smiled helplessly and dotingly and shook his head, not taking it to heart.

After all, after spending so many years with this little junior sister, such eccentric behavior is commonplace and has happened more than once or twice.

In Xiao Ling's heart, he had long regarded Mu Qingluan as someone very close to him, so in the current situation, he just let her make a fuss.

However, Xiao Ling also secretly thought in his heart that when he found the right opportunity in the future, he would naturally get all these "debts" back in one go.

Facing such blatant provocation from Mu Qingluan, Feng Qing'er showed a very casual smile at the right time. The smile was just right, and it was hard to tell too much emotion from it, as if she didn't care about Mu Qingluan's behavior at all.

But in fact, she really disapproved of Mu Qingluan's childish behavior.

In Feng Qing'er's opinion, Mu Qingluan was still flirting with Xiao Ling and didn't feel ashamed at all.

My status has already been upgraded and I am very different from the past. If I hadn't taken all these situations into consideration and the occasion here, I would never have given Mu Qingluan this little face.

In Mu Qingluan's view, Feng Qing'er's nonchalant reaction was just showing weakness to the enemy. She became more and more proud, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose slightly. She couldn't suppress the upward arc, as if she had won a great victory.

She was secretly thinking in her heart that she had to find a suitable opportunity to break through the current relationship with her senior brother as soon as possible.

In her heart, Feng Qing'er was not just an outsider, but a little maid captured by her senior brother. When her relationship with her senior brother became closer, she could put on any airs she wanted in front of Feng Qing'er. She would make her suffer and see how she could still pretend in front of her.

Mu Qingluan, who was secretly feeling proud of herself, no longer paid attention to Feng Qing'er.

Her gaze turned and fell on the three unfamiliar faces beside Xiao Ling. Looking at Yun Yun and the others, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Blinking her big eyes, she approached Xiao Ling, tugged at his sleeve, and asked in a tender voice:
"Brother, brother, who are these three? Why don't you introduce them to me?"

As soon as Mu Qingluan said this, Feng Qing'er on the side subconsciously looked in the direction of Yun Yun and the other three, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan easily sensed the cultivation levels of Yun Yun and the other two. The strongest among them was only at the Dou Zong level, and one of them was only at the Dou Wang level.

Normally speaking, a character with this level of accomplishment would not be in their eyes at all.

But today is different. Since these three people were brought back to the star realm by Xiao Ling himself and brought to Lingyue Peak, it definitely means that there is an unusual relationship between them and Xiao Ling. Otherwise, with Xiao Ling's style of doing things, how could this be the case?
Thinking of this, Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan became more curious.

"As you all know, I am actually from an ordinary empire in the Northwest Continent. This time I went out to visit the Northwest Continent. These three are all my old acquaintances in the Northwest Continent."

Xiao Ling looked at Mu Qingluan, chuckled, and said casually,
"I brought them to Xingyun Pavilion this time because I wanted to find a good future for them. After all, you all know that the Northwest Continent is quite poor compared to Zhongzhou, and its development prospects in all aspects are naturally far inferior to those in Zhongzhou, so I thought I would help them if I could."

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan both showed a look of realization on their faces, and the doubts in their hearts also dissipated a little.

When Yun Yun and the other two saw this, they chuckled at the right time, then bowed slightly to Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan and began to introduce themselves one by one.

Feng Qing'er just nodded slightly and responded quite reservedly, but her cold and arrogant character was still revealed in her every move.

Mu Qingluan was different. She had a warm smile on her face and would interject a few words from time to time, appearing to be particularly easy to talk to. Her friendly appearance made the atmosphere of this first meeting much more relaxed and harmonious.

After the few people introduced themselves to each other, they had a general understanding of each other.

"Since Senior Brother said that you will stay in Xingyun Pavilion to develop, then I will take you to understand the general situation of Xingyun Pavilion." Mu Qingluan said to Yun Yun and the other two with enthusiasm.

"I am the eldest sister of the Xingyun Pavilion. I am very familiar with the affairs of the pavilion. It is a good opportunity for you to take a look around and choose a position you like. The treatment in our Xingyun Pavilion is quite good, and with the relationship between me and my senior brother, the disciples and elders in the sect will definitely be extra kind to you, so you can rest assured."

Mu Qingluan spoke with great excitement, and looked as if she couldn't wait to take them on a tour of Xingyun Pavilion.

Facing the kindness that Mu Qingluan took the initiative to reveal, Yun Yun and the other two were very grateful and their attitudes were very friendly. Especially Ya Fei, who was good at negotiating with others, her little mouth was like honey, her words were sweet and appropriate, and she made Mu Qingluan feel comfortable, the smile on her face became more and more intense, and she was so happy that she looked at Ya Fei with a little more intimacy in her eyes.

"Since Qingluan is willing to help, I'll leave this matter to you." Xiao Ling looked at Mu Qingluan and said in a gentle voice, "After that, you can also help them arrange a place to live. Just find a smaller mountain and let the three of them use it separately, so that they can live more comfortably."

"Don't worry, senior brother. I will definitely arrange this matter properly. You have to believe in my ability, okay?" Mu Qingluan clicked her lips playfully at Xiao Ling, then shook her head with a smile on her face.

Then, she turned her gaze in the direction of Yun Yun and the other two, waved her hand, and said, "It just so happens that I am relatively free right now, so I can take you to have a good look around Xingyun Pavilion. Let's set off now without further ado, as we still have some things to deal with later, otherwise we won't have much time."

Naturally, Yun Yun and the other two had no objection to Mu Qingluan's arrangement.

After all, they had just entered the Star Realm and were very curious about all the situations in the Starfall Pavilion. Now, having Mu Qingluan, a local, as their guide was really the best thing.

They were also full of anticipation, and they all wanted to follow Mu Qingluan to see the unusual features of the Xingyun Pavilion.

After the discussion was complete, Mu Qingluan said goodbye to Xiao Ling and the others with a smile, and then slowly left Lingyue Peak with Yun Yun and the others.

She walked briskly and enthusiastically introduced the scenery along the way to Yun Yun and the others, officially starting her tour of Xingyun Pavilion.

When the figures of Mu Qingluan and others gradually flew away, Xiao Ling slowly withdrew his gaze. He raised his head slightly, stretched his waist, and said lazily and comfortably:

"Well, I have traveled a long way before, and maintaining the space passage leading directly to the Xingyun Pavilion has also consumed a lot of my energy. I am really a little tired. I will go and rest for a while."

After saying that, Xiao Ling raised his foot and walked towards his residence first. His back, illuminated by the sunlight, inexplicably added a sense of leisurely and relaxed charm.

Seeing Xiao Ling gradually walking away, Zi Yan and Qing Lin who stayed where they were looked at each other. Zi Yan spoke first. She rubbed her belly and said with some coquettishness:
"After all the traveling, my stomach has started to growl. I'm a little hungry now. I have to go to the herb garden to find something delicious to treat myself. Qinglin, do you want to come with me?"

Qing Lin listened, smiled softly, shook his head slightly and replied: "Sister Zi Yan, I'd better not go. When I was on the road earlier, I didn't have time to feed my snake pets. Now I have to go and take care of them quickly. I can't delay any longer."

"Okay, then go and do your thing first. When I find some delicious spiritual fruits, I'll bring some back to share with you. I'll be leaving now."

Zi Yan didn't say anything else. As soon as she finished speaking, she tapped the ground with her toes, and her whole body instantly turned into a gorgeous stream of light, flying towards the direction of the medicine garden deep in the courtyard. The speed was so fast that only a trace of afterimage was left in the blink of an eye.

And when Qing Lin saw that Zi Yan had left, she naturally had no intention of staying there any longer. She nodded slightly to Feng Qing'er beside her, and then walked with light steps towards the courtyard where she usually lived.

When Feng Qing'er saw that both of them had left, she subconsciously looked around. Seeing that no one noticed her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, her eyes were fixed on the attic that Xiao Ling had entered earlier. Somehow, a different emotion suddenly surged in her heart.

With such thoughts in mind, Feng Qing'er subconsciously lifted her foot, and following her heart, she took light and slightly hesitant steps, slowly walking towards the attic where Xiao Ling was resting.

……

Under the leadership of Mu Qingluan, Yun Yun and the other two also had a general understanding of Xingyun Pavilion.

They followed Mu Qingluan's guidance, walking and stopping along the way, and visited most places in Xingyun Pavilion.

After some field investigation and careful consideration, the three of them chose quite suitable positions based on their own characteristics.

Finally, Mu Qingluan also followed Xiao Ling's previous instructions and carefully arranged a residence for the three of them on a smaller mountain next to Lingyue Peak.

When they first joined the Xingyun Pavilion, according to the usual rules, new members had to go to the living area arranged by the pavilion to rest.

However, after all, with Xiao Ling's strong relationship as a backing, and Mu Qingluan being the eldest sister of Xingyun Pavilion, she also has a lot of say in the pavilion. If she personally takes charge of the matter, then naturally everything will go smoothly, and this matter will be easily arranged.

Although the mountain is not big, it is quiet and peaceful, the environment is pleasant, and the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth is quite abundant, which is very suitable for them to live.

After this busy and novel journey, Yun Yun and the other two officially settled down in Xingyun Pavilion.

When everything was arranged, night had quietly fallen, the last ray of afterglow in the sky gradually disappeared, and the entire Xingyun Pavilion was shrouded in the quiet night.

The three of them found a quiet place in the courtyard of their new residence and sat together, recalling every detail of their journey from the Northwest Continent. Looking at the Xingyun Pavilion that was full of opportunities and hope where they were now, they suddenly came to their senses and realized that in such a short period of time, their current situation had changed drastically.

For a moment, the three of them couldn't help but feel full of emotion, but at this moment, what they felt more in their hearts was the longing and yearning for the future.

Xiao Ling, who brought about such a dramatic change in them, naturally left a deep mark in the hearts of the three of them, becoming a mark that could not be erased no matter what. (End of this chapter)
