Fairy, don't be afraid, I, Wang Daqi, am truly an honest man.

Sure enough, they came looking for Daqi.

Xu Yan was speechless upon hearing this.

"Senior sister, didn't we say before that we shouldn't let others know about Daqi's affairs? Why are you doing this?"

Xu Yan's tone was somewhat reproachful.

Seeing this, Shen Ruyan quickly comforted her, "Junior Sister Xu, don't be anxious. This matter is of great importance, and I originally dared not speak up."

"But my junior sister has a kind and obedient personality. She lost both her parents at a young age and was raised by my parents! We're like sisters!"

"I simply couldn't bear to see her die so tragically."

"Furthermore, if Daqi can truly save her, with me protecting you all on Lingyun Peak, who would dare to bully you? Even Zhao Feng, I can make him kneel before you and admit his mistakes!"

Xu Yan was caught in a great dilemma.

She couldn't bear to let Daqi suffer any longer.

But she also knew the cruelty of the cultivation world. Without a powerful backer, cultivators like them at the bottom could be trampled to death like ants at any time.

Therefore, if I refuse Senior Sister Shen now, even if she doesn't say anything, she will inevitably harbor some resentment in her heart!

"This junior sister... can she really be trusted?" Xu Yan asked hesitantly.

"Absolutely trustworthy! Although she's not a member of the Shen family, she grew up here!! Now she's considered a member of the Shen family. If she dares to talk nonsense, I'll be the first to punish her!!"

Shen Ruyan patted her chest and assured them, but a chill ran through her heart!

That's her master, Nangong Ling!

To protect his reputation, Master might even kill to silence witnesses; why would he speak carelessly?

After much patient persuasion from Shen Ruyan, Xu Yan finally relented!

"Since you've put it that way, it would be tantamount to abandoning someone in distress if I refused. However, Daqi has to agree to this kind of thing herself. Besides, as you know, this is physically demanding work, so it would be best to give Daqi some nourishment afterward."

As a qualified Daoist partner, she had to fight for as many benefits as possible for Chen Daqi!

"Of course." Shen Ruyan was overjoyed, and half of her anxiety was relieved.

A moment later, Xu Yan pushed open the door and came out, beckoning to Wang Daqi, who had just returned from watering the plants, and said, "Daqi, come in, Senior Sister Shen has something to say to you in person."

Wang Daqi, who was outside, heard everything clearly and thought to himself: Senior Sister Shen is really outrageous! They've only been cultivating together for three days, and she's already introducing him to a junior sister from her own clan!!

This is this...

Aren't they afraid that his secrets will be revealed?

Wang Daqi came from a humble background and was very careful in his conduct and actions.

He felt that his secret was too important; the more people who knew it, the more danger he would face!

He pretended to be completely confused and walked into the house.

Inside, a faint fragrance lingered.

When Shen Ruyan saw Wang Daqi enter, she subconsciously stood up and said with some difficulty, "Daqi, I just told Junior Sister Xu about this matter..."

She quickly said something.

Wang Daqi deliberately widened his eyes, his face filled with shock. "Senior Sister Shen, we agreed that the matter of my physique wouldn't be spread! How come another clanswoman has appeared now? I'm just a lowly spirit farmer; if this gets out, how will I survive?!"

"Daqi, I did promise you before that I wouldn't tell anyone. But my junior sister lost both her parents at a young age and grew up in my family. She's practically my own sister. If there's even the slightest way, I would never make things difficult for you. Just consider it saving a life, okay?"

Wang Daqi lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, looking as if he were engaged in an extremely intense internal struggle.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head. "Senior Sister Shen, although Daqi comes from a humble background, he knows the meaning of 'gratitude.' Senior Sister has taken care of my husband and me many times, so I'll help you with this. But..."

He paused, looked directly into Shen Ruyan's eyes, and said, word by word, "This is the only time, and there will be no next time!!! Senior Sister Shen, you must understand that my physique is a living 'medicinal catalyst' for those high-level cultivators. The more people who know, the more swords hang over my head."

Shen Ruyan nodded hurriedly, her tone extremely sincere: "Daqi, don't worry! I, Shen Ruyan, swear to the heavens that if a fourth person knows your secret after this, may I be struck by heavenly lightning and my Dao heart shattered! My junior sister is also a person with a tragic fate; she will never reveal a single word."

Seeing that Shen Ruyan had made a solemn oath, Wang Daqi finally revealed his honest and simple smile again: "Since Senior Sister has said so, then I will believe Senior Sister. I wonder when?"

"Let's do it tonight. I'll have her come to my cave, and I'll send you a message then."

After explaining a few more details, Shen Ruyan left in a hurry, feeling happy.

Watching Shen Ruyan's slender back, Wang Daqi grabbed Xu Yan's small hand: "Hey, wife, what kind of situation is this?"

Xu Yan didn't mind, saying, "Senior Sister Shen helped us find work and protected us, so let's help her out no matter what."

"Well, that's the only way. But you're not angry, are you?"

He used to live in the mortal world, and he saw many women cause chaos in their homes when they found out their husbands were having affairs!

"I am a little jealous, but there's nothing I can do about it, I understand."

…………

…………

into the night.

Tonight, the moon is obscured by thick clouds, and the wind carries a hint of late autumn chill.

After receiving Shen Ruyan's message, Wang Daqi made his way to her cave in the dark.

At the entrance to the cave, Wang Daqi had a sudden thought.

He sensed two presences within.

One of the dishes was Shen Ruyan's!

The other one... had a very weak aura.

"This must be her cousin."

Wang Daqi straightened his clothes and said at the entrance of the cave, "Senior Sister, I'm here."

"Come in."

As soon as Wang Daqi entered, he saw Shen Ruyan walking over.

Behind her followed a woman dressed in drab outer disciple robes.

The woman had her head down, her long hair falling down and covering most of her face, and she appeared rather thin.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Wang Daqi's heart skipped a beat when he glanced at her figure!

That figure is just... amazing!

The small parts are not big enough, and the large parts are too big to be grasped with one hand.

Having been in the sect for five years, he had seen countless beautiful women, but to be honest, such a perfect woman was truly rare!

"Daqi, this is the cousin I mentioned to you. Her name is Shen Younan. You can call her... Xiaonan."

Shen Ruyan explained.

Wang Daqi's gaze swept over the "Xiao Nan".

At this moment, the woman named Shen Younan also quietly looked over.

Now, I can see the face.

To be honest, she's not bad looking.

However, it wasn't the kind of amazing feeling.

No wonder, Wang Daqi would never have dreamed that this woman's true identity was none other than the peak master of Lingyun Peak, Nangong Ling!

Because she wore a human skin mask to conceal her presence, her face didn't look particularly stunning.

When their eyes met in mid-air, Nangong Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head.

She secretly resented herself; she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet... how could she feel shy at this moment?

"I've met... Miss Xiao Nan."

Wang Daqi cupped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Wang Daqi." Nangong Ling deliberately changed his voice.

"Great thing, I've prepared a bathtub inside. Go and take a bath," Shen Ruyan said.

"Okay." Wang Daqi nodded and walked inside.

As soon as he left, Shen Ruyan quickly took Nangong Ling's arm and whispered, "Master, don't be nervous!"

"Phew... I know, I just... I just..."

The human skin mask worn by Nangong Ling has an extremely realistic effect.

If the cheeks feel hot, the human skin mask will turn crimson, which is quite magical.

At this moment, Nangong Ling's pretty face turned bright red.

Shen Ruyan, a woman, was completely stunned.

"Master, even though you're wearing a mask, you're still as beautiful as a fairy," Shen Ruyan transmitted her voice.

"What kind of time is this to be making fun of your master?"

"Where did I laugh? Everything I said is true!" Shen Ruyan chuckled. "Alright, Master, let's go in now. Remember what I said!"

"this……"

"Master, if you're really too embarrassed, may I assist you from the side?"

Shen Ruyan was genuinely worried that her master wouldn't be able to handle it!

If something goes wrong, it will be a huge problem.

That's why she offered to help from the sidelines.
