Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

Mount Hua, Cliff of Repentance.

It is located at the summit of Jade Maiden Peak.

It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides and a mountain wall on one side. The cliffs are so steep that they are impossible to climb.

A narrow stone path winds its way up, with bottomless abysses on both sides.

It was the dead of winter, and heavy snow had blocked the mountain passes.

Going up the mountain would be even more risky.

And that evening.

A beautiful figure in fiery red walked across the steep, slippery snow toward the Cliff of Contemplation.

The ground was extremely slippery, and she stumbled every few steps, but even as she stumbled, she never thought of turning back.

After a long and arduous journey.

When they arrived at the Cliff of Contemplation, although the wind was still biting cold, the girl's undergarments were almost completely soaked.

A cold wind blew by, making her shiver involuntarily.

Then he hurriedly crawled into the cave on the Cliff of Contemplation.

Inside the cave at this time.

The campfire blazed, the firewood crackling and popping, driving away the chill from the cave and bringing some light and warmth to the dark cave.

There were two figures inside the cave, one male and the other female.

The man was handsome and otherworldly. Despite the cold weather, he was only wearing his undergarments and held a long, narrow divine weapon in his hand. He practiced his swordsmanship move by move in the cave.

The woman looked younger, only about seventeen or eighteen years old.

She sat cross-legged, a hint of purple hue between her brows, indicating that she had already mastered the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

Aren't these two Yue Buqun and Hua Zhenzhen?

The two had been practicing meditation in the cave for more than twenty days.

The Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng are exquisite and profound, unmatched by any other sword technique of the Huashan School. If Yue Buqun were to practice alone, it would probably take him more than a year to even begin to master this sword technique.

But there was Hua Zhenzhen, who had been practicing the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng since childhood and had already mastered them to perfection, standing by her side.

She was completely open with Yue Buqun, allowing him to take whatever he wanted.

Yue Buqun was also quite uninhibited.

He didn't have the outdated idea that a master couldn't ask a disciple for advice; in fact, he had long wanted to remind Hua Zhenzhen of her seniority.

In addition, he also had to teach Hua Zhenzhen the Zixia Divine Skill.

The two are master and disciple to each other, and the top and bottom characters change their forms dozens of times a day...

With Hua Zhenzhen's years of experience, Yue Buqun avoided any detours.

With a solid foundation, he mastered the sword technique in just over ten days.

In the time that followed, they gradually deduced the changes in his sword moves.

After all, the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng are not just thirteen styles, but contain extremely intricate variations.

Furthermore, the use of the sword in the normal direction and the fingers in the reverse direction, along with numerous variations, even gave Yue Buqun the feeling that the more he learned the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, the more complicated and cumbersome it became.

During this period, Hua Zhenzhen's Zixia Divine Skill also made remarkable progress.

Unlike Ning Zhongze, who couldn't calm his mind and found it difficult to get started.

Hua Zhenzhen is so young yet has such cultivation level. Not only is her talent and comprehension outstanding, but her temperament is also first-rate.

In addition, the Cliff of Contemplation was desolate and lonely, and Yue Buqun had nothing else to do.

Under Yue Buqun's tutelage, she transformed all her internal energy into the Zixia Divine Skill in just a few days.

The Purple Cloud Divine Skill is the supreme martial art of the Qi Sect, inherited from the Quanzhen Sect, the number one sect in the world, and is said to be a king's skill.

In terms of sophistication, it surpasses even the Huashan internal energy cultivation practiced by Hua Zhenzhen.

This can actually be seen as Yue Buqun returning a favor.

Hua Zhenzhen gave him everything.

All he could offer in return was this Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

While the master and disciple were each immersed in their own enlightenment and cultivation.

I heard light, slightly disordered footsteps...

Yue Buqun looked up.

Hua Zhenzhen followed suit, turning her head to look at the entrance.

Just then, they saw a girl in red, covered in snow, pouting, staggering down the stone steps into the cave.

"Lingzhi? What brings you here?"

Yue Buqun was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly went to meet him.

Then I noticed that the girl's knees were covered in mud, as if she had fallen.

Her once neatly combed, smooth hair was now a mess, looking as if it had been completely ruined.

"I... I thought it was New Year's Eve this year, so I brought you some hot food."

Jin Lingzhi pouted, and before she could finish speaking, her eyes welled up with tears.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Yue Buqun had already carried a hint of resentment.

To be fair, she did quite well during her time at the Huashan Sect.

Ning Zhongze treated her like his own daughter. Because she had a foundation in martial arts, he immediately taught her the Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords.

He also switched his internal energy cultivation to Huashan Hunyuan Gong, and he shared his Golden Goose Soaring Lightness Skill without reservation.

But this was not what she had expected.

What she imagined was that Yue Buqun would personally teach her swordsmanship and internal energy, and then be shocked to discover that she was actually a martial arts prodigy. In just a few months, she caught up with his progress and her strength was even greater than his.

In the end, I can only sigh and say that Lingzhi, your talent is so outstanding that I am ashamed to continue being your master. So, I will take you on as my disciple today. From today onwards, you are no longer my disciple, but my junior sister.

Then came the close-knit family dynamic between the senior and junior brothers and sisters.

This was the script in her mind, but the reality was that after becoming an apprentice, this lousy master simply became a hands-off manager, hiding in the mountain and refusing to come down.

If he were the only one in seclusion, that would be one thing, but he also brought Senior Sister Hua with him.

Jin Lingzhi had already found out that when she was being groped and forced to practice swordsmanship by this bad guy on Bat Island, Senior Sister Hua hadn't even joined the sect yet.

I was here first, whether we knew each other or practiced swordsmanship...

She couldn't resist the urge to go up the mountain and see what those two were up to.

However, Ning Zhongze stopped him, citing the rugged mountain path and the fact that his senior brother, the sect leader, was currently studying sword techniques.

Now, on New Year's Eve, Jin Lingzhi, out of sheer curiosity, went down the mountain to buy some cooked food, saying she wanted to give her master and senior sister an extra meal.

Ning Zhongze then nodded in agreement.

Even Jin Lingzhi hadn't expected the mountain path to be so rugged. If she hadn't already had a solid foundation in lightness skills, she probably would have slid straight down the cliff.

Yue Buqun gently grasped her hand, only to find it icy cold to the touch and trembling slightly.

At that moment, he silently channeled his Zixia Divine Skill, using his true energy to enter her body and dispel the cold within her.

Jin Lingzhi's bright eyes flickered slightly as she exclaimed in amazement, "Master, your true energy is so hot and warm... It feels so cozy coming in..."

"Practice your internal energy, or you'll catch a cold tomorrow."

"Yes."

Jin Lingzhi nodded obediently, silently circulating her internal energy to coordinate with Yue Buqun's movements inside her body.

His gaze, however, unconsciously drifted towards Hua Zhenzhen.

Hua Zhenzhen smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, but found that the other person's eyes were not looking at her face at all, but rather seemed to be observing her clothes.

She couldn't help but blush slightly.

Living on the mountaintop, life was hard, and there was no water for washing.

After such a long time, even she herself felt that she smelled a bit damp.

Did she figure it out?

Little did Jin Lingzhi know that seeing Hua Zhenzhen dressed neatly, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although she knew that the Huashan Sect was a prestigious and righteous sect, and that her absurd idea was impossible, she just couldn't control herself and didn't want her master to be alone with this girl who was called Senior Sister Hua, but should really be her Junior Sister Hua.

At the very least, we'll know what they're doing.

A moment later.

The coldness in Jin Lingzhi's body was completely dispelled.

Yue Buqun then released his grip and said, "Lingzhi, Zhenzhen and I are very touched by your kindness, but you must be careful next time. Although we are fellow disciples, we are more like family. Isn't it better for the four of us to live a harmonious and happy life? What if you had an accident on the road? How would I face myself in my next life?"

"But...but I became your disciple because I wanted to learn swordsmanship from you, but...you won't teach me..."

Jin Lingzhi felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, but she also felt even more wronged.

"Alright, your secluded cultivation is almost over. You can sleep in my bed tonight, and we'll go down the mountain together tomorrow morning. I'll personally teach you the Thirteen Forms of the Huashan School!"

"I'll sleep in your bed? Then where will you sleep?"

Jin Lingzhi instinctively glanced at Hua Zhenzhen warily, thinking to herself, "Sleep with her?"

At that moment, even the girl herself didn't realize that her competitive spirit had long since overshadowed her obsession with the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng.
