Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

"You're a liar! You're wasting people's feelings! Master, let's go!"

After saying that, Ailan took the lead and walked out of the hall.

Xiao Muchen was taken aback. "No, are you the master or am I the master?"

This girl seemed pretty well-behaved just now, but it turns out she's quite the troublemaker.

A vague sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

The two left one after the other. Yao Han looked at Lan'er's back and spread his hands innocently.

The way you're saying this makes it sound like I'm a prodigal son who starts relationships and then abandons them.

Fang Tingyu covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Junior Brother Yao, your sister is really interesting... Oh no, I should call you Fifth Junior Brother now."

"Sigh, I can't control her anyway... I've heard that Master has four disciples. Besides Senior Sister Fang and Senior Sister He, who are the other two?"

"Mu Ran is the eldest sister, I'm second, and Xu Wen and Jiang Fanyu are third and fourth respectively. Junior Brother Yao, you don't know, these two are complete opposites. One is a shut-in who only knows how to cultivate in seclusion in his cave; the other is always nowhere to be seen, either accepting commissions from the Good Deeds Pavilion or going out to meet some friends. As his senior sister, I have to rely on a communication talisman to find him, and even then, he might not have time. Tell me, what kind of logic is that!..."

Xu Wen, Jiang Fanyu.

Yao Han silently memorized these two names.

However, this Senior Sister Fang is indeed as rumored, exceptionally eloquent.

This way, there's no need to ask any more questions; it's been a huge help.

Yao Han smiled slightly and made a joke:

"It seems that there will soon be another taciturn person on this island."

"Cultivation is cultivation, but you can't just cultivate all the time. You have to balance work and rest, right?"

As the two stepped out of the palace gate, Fang Tingyu spoke while her hands were also busy. With a wave of her right hand, a piece of emerald green silk appeared in front of them. Accompanied by a flash of fireflies, the silk grew larger and larger, like a light emerald cloud, undulating and ethereal outside the palace gate.

Yao Han followed her and leaped onto the magical artifact. The green cloud quickly left the darkness and became a beam of emerald light under the clear sky, swirling and drifting among the flying islands.

Fang Tingyu first took him to Qianji Hall to register, write down his name, register his destiny, and after receiving the jade tablet with the words "Yao Han" written on it, he officially became a disciple of Shuiyue Palace.

Leaving Qianji Hall and passing countless flying islands, what comes into view is an endless expanse of water, occasionally dotted with peaks and islands, and a cool breeze carrying moisture makes my Taoist robe flutter.

"Oh right, I almost forgot something. We still need to follow the proper procedures."

As she spoke, Fang Tingyu took out a storage bag from her bosom and handed it to Yao Han.

"A storage bag, a disciple's robe, a water-patterned sword, and a mottled jade shield. These are the items that every new disciple receives. The water-patterned sword can be used for self-defense and as a flying magic weapon."

Yao Han nodded, glanced at them casually, and accepted the items—both of the magical artifacts were of low grade, so he didn't care.

A spiritual light emanated from his fingertips as he gently pointed at the neatly folded Taoist robe. A flash of golden light enveloped his body, and he put it on.

This robe was made of some kind of spiritual material; it felt smooth, breathable, and cool to the touch, and wearing it made one feel refreshed.

"In addition, all disciples in the palace receive an annual stipend. Although you have now entered Feixia Island, your cultivation has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Although you are nominally an inner disciple, you should actually be considered a disciple of your master. Your treatment is the same as that of outer disciples. You can go to the second floor of the Good Deeds Pavilion to collect sixty spirit stones every year."

"However, with Junior Brother's cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining and his dual spiritual roots, advancing to Foundation Establishment should be a matter of time. Only after Foundation Establishment can one be considered a formal disciple, and the annual stipend for inner disciples is two hundred and forty spirit stones."

Yao Han nodded in response and carefully wrote down what Fang Tingyu said.

"Besides that, if you want to earn more spirit stones within the sect, you'll need to accept commissions and bounties from the Merit Pavilion. Outer disciples are required to complete one commission per year, but Junior Brother Yao, you don't need to worry about that; just focus on your cultivation."

"Disciples are not restricted from entering or leaving any of the islands within the sect. The only places to be careful of are the Five Peaks, as well as Jian Ge Island and Fangtian Waterfall. These places are forbidden areas within the sect, and disciples may not approach them without the sect leader's decree or permission from the sect."

"Well... that's about all the information I need to tell you. Actually, there aren't that many rules in our Shuiyue Palace, unlike Nianxuan Sect or Shangyun Sect, where even the disciples' behavior and posture are strictly regulated. The main focus is on being relaxed and carefree. As long as you behave yourself, no one will care what you do."

Yao Han stroked his chin; this atmosphere suited him perfectly.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Junior Brother Yao?"

His eyes flashed:

"Just now in the main hall, it seemed that Fenzhu and Chenhuan's faction were not on good terms with our Feixia sect. I wonder what their grudge is?"

"Oh? Junior brother is quite perceptive~ Then senior sister will have to explain it to you properly."

Fang Tingyu's lips curled up, her eyes revealing a familiar excitement. She even rolled up her sleeves and began to draw in the air with her magic:

"These twelve islands within the sect can be divided into three factions if we break them down further!"

"Hidden Star, Burning Bamboo, Dewy Rain, and Summer Frost are one faction, with Hidden Star as the leader; Flying Clouds, Lotus Sword, Shengxiao, and Wandering Sky are another faction, with our Flying Clouds being the leader; if you can't remember them, just remember 'Star Faction' and 'Cloud Faction'."

"As for the sect leader, Qi Guang, and the remaining three factions, they are basically neutral. However, the Zangchen lineage has recently shown signs of being courted by the Xing faction."

Yao Han nodded secretly; Fang Tingyu's words were largely in line with his guess.

In that case, be careful of the Star Faction people when you go out in the future.

"There's not much of a grudge between the two sides, just constant minor squabbles. Anyway, I feel like it's always those annoying guys from the Star Sect who cause trouble for us. Humph, especially that Fu Xiaowan, who, relying on her status as a direct disciple of Fenzhu, stirs up trouble everywhere, always wanting to create chaos. If Master hadn't told me to, I would have beaten her up long ago..."

"Besides Fu Xiaowan, there's also the Liu family from Chenlu Island. Those spoiled brats aren't any better; they're always spreading rumors and ruining the reputation of our Shuiyue Palace! Junior brother, if you ever run into them, give them a good beating..."

This senior sister is truly a... person of strong character.

The two had barely flown halfway when she began to tell Yao Han all the important and trivial matters in the palace, including a bunch of gossip, some true and some false, such as that Fu Xiaowan might be Fu Ying's illegitimate daughter, and that the disciples of Lianjian stole and ate the medicinal melons from Burning Bamboo Island...

Yao Han awkwardly touched her nose; she didn't need to go into such detail.

After listening reluctantly for a while, Yao Han couldn't take it anymore and steered the conversation away from the gossip:

"The waters within this sect are so vast, with islands stretching as far as the eye can see and towering peaks linked together. It is truly breathtaking. When I entered the sect just now, I thought I had arrived at the Illusionary End Sea. Such a magnificent sight must be the work of a great master within the sect."
