Yu Chuan said, "When is your brother coming to pick you up? It's late and dangerous here, why don't we stay with you a little longer?"

Ning Yue said with distress, "It'll be quite a while; he usually picks me up very late."

Yu Chuan was somewhat surprised: "Isn't your brother worried?"

Ning Yue shook his head: "It was my own request to stay for so long, since I'll have to go back to the lower realm soon."

Yu Chuan was at a loss for words.

"But I've had enough fun today..." Ning Yue said softly.

"Do you have anything that can contact your brother?" Yu Chuan asked her, looking down at her.

Ning Yue shook his head.

Yu Chuan frowned, marveling at how irresponsible his brother could be, and made a suggestion.

"If all else fails, I'll take you back. You know which sect your brother belongs to, right?"

He paused for two seconds...

"I know." Ning Yue looked up at him and smiled gently. "Then thank you very much."

Yu Chuan was surprised that Ning Yue agreed so readily, and he was a little taken aback.

Until Ning Yue stepped onto his sword again, two warm hands simultaneously wrapped around his lower back, and a head gently peeked out from behind.

Two bright eyes stared at him intently: "Shall we go?"

Yu Chuan's face flushed, and he was relieved that it was dark and no one could see his expression or complexion.

He immediately and smoothly ascended into the air on his sword under Ning Yue's watchful gaze.

A gentle breeze caressed his face, and Ning Yue squinted his eyes contentedly.

A faint glimmer of light flashed by, unnoticed by anyone.

Taking advantage of the darkness, it suddenly sped away towards the distant hilltop.

This is Ning Yue's message.

"Senior brothers and sisters, don't wait for me. I'm going to cause a ruckus on this year's Heavenly Ranking."

……

Shi Yinghan rushed back under the cover of night and listened to Ning Yue's message with great helplessness.

Given her personality, she'll definitely make a huge scene this time.

Yang Fei looked on with envy.

"Junior Sister is so unfair! She just went off to play by herself? She usually invites me along!"

"You're not idle either..." Shi Yinghan said helplessly, "We're also preparing to go down the mountain in the next few days."

A beautiful figure leaned casually against the hammock, the woman's beautiful, curved eyes widening for a moment.

Song Yi swayed in the hammock for a moment, then became interested upon hearing this: "When?"

"After Senior Brother successfully breaks through to the next realm," Shi Yinghan said after a moment's thought.

His appearance has changed a lot since five years ago; he is now more refined and upright, and exudes a sense of security from within when he speaks.

Song Yishi shrank back into the hammock: "...Didn't Senior Brother go into seclusion for quite some time already?"

Ji Liyan had already started preparing for his breakthrough several months ago.

If successful, Ji Liyan will become a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

With the help of Ning Yue's strange and unusual books, they made great progress, which seemed like lightning speed to outsiders.

Shi Yinghan had already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Before that, he never dared to imagine that he could break through so much in five years.

The others were also at around the Nascent Soul stage.

In short, none of the direct disciples of the Fusang Sect were a drag on the group; each of them was like a seedling that had been pulled up.

They constantly absorb various kinds of knowledge and experience, and frantically improve their own cultivation.

Each of them is undoubtedly a prodigy, talented and hardworking.

With Ning Yue's help, it's actually quite normal for everyone to achieve such results.

Although they were amazed at how many amazing skills and books their junior sister possessed, they never inquired about them.

Not at all surprising—

Junior Sister has already reached the Fusion Stage!

It's almost on par with the strength of the five major sect leaders.

Moreover, to be honest, Junior Sister's overall strength might be even stronger; she could easily defeat other sect leaders across realms.

The senior and junior students had become quite desensitized to Ning Yue's lightning speed.

I remember once, Ning Yue was thirsty after finishing his cultivation, and he broke through to the next realm as soon as he poured himself a glass of water.

It almost made Yang Fei, who was leisurely sipping tea next to him, drop his jaw in fright.

This is as easy to cultivate as drinking water.

On another occasion, Ning Yue was helping Duan Huailin repair the latest formation, and the two were having a heated discussion.

A deafening thunderclap suddenly struck the formation they had only half-repaired.

Duan Huailin and Ning Yue were stunned for a moment before they realized that this was Ning Yue's breakthrough tribulation.

Duan Huailin: "..."

He silently carried his book into the inner room, giving Ning Yue some instructions before leaving.

"Remember to stay far away when breaking through."

Ning Yue: "..."

Since she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, no matter how much she pleaded and begged, it was no use.

But it's true that every time she was struck by lightning, she felt her physical strength and endurance improve.

Therefore, he personally faced the tribulation lightning every time he broke through a realm.

A woman dressed in light white robes walked gracefully towards them, carrying several porcelain bottles in her hands, her face indifferent and calm.

She has a graceful figure and a slender silhouette.

As expected of a sound cultivator from the Fusang Sect, his appearance and physique were both carefully selected by Elder Zhu, making him one of the best.

Lu Qingyan lowered her head and handed out the porcelain bottles one by one.

"Junior Brother Jiang asked me to deliver the newly refined pills to everyone."

Shi Yinghan asked, "Junior Brother Jiang, are you still refining it?"

"That's right." Lu Qingyan nodded. "Recently, he often practices for several days at a time, and he won't listen to any advice."

"It's also preparation for going down the mountain."

Shi Yinghan sighed and went into the inner room: "I'll go and try to persuade him; he needs to rest."

……

Yu Chuan, with Ning Yue behind him, seemed somewhat absent-minded but was trying to appear calm.

"Is there really no way to contact your brother? Isn't he worried sick?"

Ning Yue looked down at the scenery below, which was gradually showing signs of human life.

Upon hearing this, she gave a soft hum, which sounded quite charming and cute.

"It's okay, let him worry. It's good that he's anxious."

Yu Chuan chuckled, then looked ahead and suddenly said, "We're almost there. Which sect does your brother belong to? I'll take you there."

"I'm staying at the Same Moon Inn," Ning Yue said, looking at the scenery ahead. "Just drop me off on the street."

"How can that be?" Yu Chuan immediately refused, then thought for a moment and added, "Then I'll just take you directly to the Tongyue Inn."

Ning Yue smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Thank you."

Yu Chuan smiled slightly, pursing his lips: "...You're welcome."

The moment he landed, Ning Yue was unusually dazed, realizing that it had been so long since he had returned.

Seeing that she seemed dazed, Yu Chuan asked, "...What's wrong?"

Hearing the sound, Ning Yue slowly came to her senses and smiled faintly.

"See you later." She waved to him with a smile as she walked into the inn.

Yu Chuan was puzzled. Wasn't she supposed to be returning to the lower realm soon?

How did they meet?

But before he could think about it, he saw Ning Yue's figure about to completely enter the inn, so he quickly waved.
