Master, when can I become your wife?

After searching for a long time in his spatial ring, Lin Qiu finally took out a pure white jade pendant.

This has the same effect as the jade pendant he gave to Luo Yunxi before.

Both can increase cultivation speed.

There's no way around it; as Ye Junze's disciple, Qingqiu Xue certainly doesn't lack cultivation resources, nor does she lack spiritual artifacts.

Besides this, he really doesn't have anything else to offer.

Qingqiu Xue did not immediately accept the jade pendant, but looked at Ye Junze. She would not accept any outsider's kindness before obtaining Ye Junze's consent.

Who knows if the other person is a villain like Yue Qingge?

"Just accept it if it's given to you."

Ye Junze smiled and took the jade pendant from Lin Qiu's hand, placing it in Qing Qiuxue's hand.

Lin Qiu pursed his lips. This guy really doesn't hold back. But this little guy is really cute, both obedient and adorable.

"Thanks."

Qingqiu Xue sweetly thanked her.

Lin Qiu felt her heart melt instantly. Ye Junze really deserved to die!

This is clearly an attempt to lure him into taking on apprentices.

"Master!"

Luo Yunxi also came over at this moment. She had just been helping Qingqiu Xue make furniture. Now the bamboo house, bamboo bed, bamboo chair and bamboo table are all ready.

She's absolutely perfect as a senior student!

Ye Junze smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you to Forget-Worry Peak for a stroll."

"Yes, yes!"

Luo Yunxi nodded repeatedly. She had heard of Forget-Worry Peak more than once, but unfortunately she had never had the time to go there.

Before long, Ye Junze arrived at Forget-Worry Peak on his sword with his two young disciples.

Today's Forget-Worry Peak is no different from before.

However, the price of Silver Moon Sky Fox eggs has increased significantly.

Perhaps it was caused by something that happened to the kid who got hung on the streetlight a while ago.

"Huh? Peak Master Ye, you've got your hands on raising spirit beasts too?"

A passing disciple noticed Qingqiu Xue following Ye Junze and couldn't help but look over curiously.

This little fox...how can it be so cute!

And it doesn't quite resemble the Silver Moon Celestial Fox.

Silver Moon Fox's hair is silver-white after it transforms, but Qingqiu Xue's hair is pure white.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person? This is my apprentice."

Ye Junze explained righteously, "How could these people view me like that?"

"Yes."

Lin Qiu nodded. Ye Junze had never spoken like this before when discussing how to raise spirit beasts as Daoist partners in class.

"Get lost!"

Ye Junze said irritably.

A cute little girl walking down the street will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.

Not to mention Qingqiu Xue, who is so cute that she appeals to both men and women.

In the blink of an eye, a group of disciples gathered around.

Qingqiu Xue hugged Ye Junze tightly. With so many people watching her, she felt somewhat insecure.

I'm terrified that someone like Yue Qingge will appear.

Seeing this, Ye Junze waved his hand and shooed them away, saying, "Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Go and raise your Silver Moon Celestial Foxes."

"Tch~"

Seeing that Ye Junze was chasing people away, the disciples watching all scoffed before turning and leaving.

Lin Qiu couldn't help but chuckle, "Tsk, it seems our Peak Master Ye isn't authoritative enough."

"That's obvious."

Ye Junze was speechless. He had only been the peak master for a few years, and a large portion of the people here had boasted to him in the academy.

Authority takes time to be established.

The crowd dispersed.

Ye Junze arrived at the Forget-Worry Pavilion and immediately waved his hand, "Bring me your best food and wine!"

Before long, a table full of fine wine and dishes was served.

Qingqiu Xue sat next to Ye Junze, looking at the various delicacies on the table, and swallowed hard.

"Eat."

Ye Junze presented some spiritual fruits and pastries to Qingqiu Xue.

Compared to other foods, Qingqiu Xue seems to prefer these things, a fact that was already evident when they were in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Qingqiu Xue picked up a piece of watermelon that was about the size of her head and started eating it.

"Mmm~ Delicious! Master, do you usually eat here?"

Unlike Qingqiu Xue, Luo Yunxi was already eating heartily.

"No, I don't usually eat."

Ye Junze said, "Who can afford to eat here every day?"

He would only choose to eat here when he wanted to satisfy his appetite, and even then, the meal wouldn't be as lavish as it is today.

Looking at the three people sitting opposite him, Lin Qiu felt somewhat out of place.

So why did he ask Ye Junze to go back and bring his disciple over?

Now he can't even brag to Ye Junze.

That would affect his image as a senior in the eyes of Ye Junze's disciples.

He is, after all, one of the heads of the Treasure Pavilion, and he has some sense of shame.

After thinking it over, Lin Qiu decided to get down to business, so he asked seriously, "What's your opinion on the freshman trial I mentioned earlier?"

"?"

Ye Junze was taken aback. "Are you out of things to say?"

Lin Qiu choked, "You already know, why ask!"

He couldn't possibly discuss with Ye Junze in front of Ye Junze's two disciples which female disciple of Hundred Flowers Peak had whiter and longer legs, could he?

"What is the Freshman Trial?"

Luo Yunxi was curious, and her intuition told her that this matter was related to her.

"It's a trial specifically organized by the sect for disciples who have joined the sect less than ten years ago. They can receive corresponding rewards based on their performance," Ye Junze explained.

"Can I go?"

Luo Yunxi quickly pressed for details: the freshman trial—it sounded like the perfect place for her to unleash her full power!

"Do you want to participate?"

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing Luo Yunxi nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, Ye Junze didn't stop her.

"If you want to participate, then participate. You still have a few months left, so train hard and try to get a good ranking."

With Luo Yunxi's current cultivation level at the early stage of the Golden Core realm... she probably won't get a good ranking.

The Dao Seeking Sect has no shortage of prodigies.

Luo Yunxi immediately assured him with a confident expression, "Don't worry, Master, I definitely won't let you down. I'll be the one to promote the prestige of Hidden Sword Peak!"

Ye Junze smiled and patted Luo Yunxi's head. "Yes, I believe you."

Regardless of the outcome, let's focus on providing emotional value first.

The higher Luo Yun's happiness index, the faster his cultivation speed will be, and correspondingly, the faster his cultivation speed will be.

Therefore, being good to Luo Yunxi is being good to yourself.

Because of Luo Yunxi and Qingqiu Xue, who were like third wheels, Ye Junze and Lin Qiu didn't get to chat very wildly during the meal.

It was already night when we returned to Hidden Sword Peak.

Because she was going to participate in the sect's trial soon, Luo Yunxi started cultivating diligently as soon as she returned.

Qingqiu Xue then arrived at the bamboo house that Luo Yunxi had built for her.

The refreshing fragrance of bamboo wafted over, and Qingqiu Xue looked at the tables, chairs, and beds in the room, her goodwill towards Luo Yunxi increased considerably.

She really liked this environment.

In the stillness of the night, Qingqiu Xue lay in bed and gradually drifted off to sleep.

The sky was blood red, and red figures hovered in the air. The scorching ground filled Qingqiu Xue with an inexplicable sense of panic.

This is where?

Before Qingqiu Xue could think any further, she heard a series of faint mournful cries, and an indistinct figure appeared in front of her. Then, everything went black.

"Child, you'll feel better after a nap."

……

Inside the bamboo house, Qingqiu Xue suddenly woke up, the panic in her heart still lingering. She couldn't remember what had happened in her dream.

But she dared not close her eyes again.

She had never had such a dream before.

Qingqiu Xue curled up, looking at the quiet night outside the window, and thought of Luo Yunxi.

If she lives here, what will happen to Luo Yunxi?

Why don't she go live with her master and let her senior sister live here? We can't let her senior sister sleep alone outside.

Qingqiu Xue thought to herself.

During the days she rested in Ye Junze's arms, she had never had such a dream.

Therefore, her first reaction was to seek the protection of her master.

So, Qingqiu Xue sat up and walked to the window.

You can see Ye Junze's bamboo house from here.

At this moment, Luo Yunxi had already ended her cultivation and was climbing out of the window.

Qingqiu Xue blinked. What's wrong?
