Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

She responded almost instinctively.

"Go back where? What are you going to do?"

"Go back to your sect."

Yunping smiled, a cold smile, colder than ever before, making it seem as if he was merely raising the corners of his mouth without genuine emotion.

It's cold, colder than the wind.

His eyes were like still water, devoid of focus; all emotion had been extinguished in that moment, leaving only endless indifference and icy coldness in his black pupils.

Finally, he spoke, without any emotion, as if he were speaking mechanically.

"Go for revenge."

8. Acting alone

revenge.

The silver-haired girl's expression suddenly froze, and then her delicate body swayed twice.

A wisp of light black smoke slowly emerged from the girl's fair skin, a terrifying sight resembling a harbinger of her descent into darkness. At the same time, a terrifying aura, seemingly capable of destroying heaven and earth, burst forth from her frail and delicate body.

Upon seeing this, Yunping's expression became unusually somber, and he even sensed that the surrounding air was faintly filled with a gloomy atmosphere of despair.

This is……

A strange thought immediately flashed through his mind, but fortunately, Yunping reacted quickly and immediately broke into a smile:

"Don't be so nervous~ Just kidding, just kidding!"

Ever since he uttered the word "revenge," Ye Yuchan's tense face has never relaxed.

Upon hearing the word "joke," the girl's tense nerves seemed to snap, and the surrounding black energy retreated into her body in a very short time.

"..."

Visibly, Ye Yuchan's facial muscles twitched twice in a rather bizarre manner, and a complex expression filled her eyes, which were on the verge of tears.

Ye Yuchan hesitated for half a second, then puffed out her proud chest, took a step forward and stood in front of Yun Ping. Without hesitation, she slammed a punch, imbued with spiritual energy, into Yun Ping's heart.

When the gale subsided, Yunping remained standing in the same spot as if nothing had happened.

"Um, um, miss~ don't be so angry..."

"..."

Ye Yuchan did not respond to him, but continued to circulate her spiritual energy and attacked Yunping like a madman.

Yunping neither dodged nor avoided the girl's rapid, rain-like punches, which rained down on various parts of his body.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

A continuous roar echoed all around.

Throughout the process, Ye Yuchan kept her head down, and Yun Ping couldn't see her expression, but he was certain that Ye Yuchan's feelings at that moment must have been very complicated.

It seems things have really gotten serious.

Yunping reached out and touched the girl's full head of silver hair, trying to soothe the agitated girl.

However, Ye Yuchan had anticipated the trajectory of Yun Ping's arm and angrily flung it away.

"!!!"

Finally, Ye Yuchan raised her head, her beautiful eyes, like stars in the night sky, were filled with several large tears, and a few traces of red gradually appeared in her eyes.

Although it sounds unethical to say this, Yunping had to admit that Ye Yuchan was more stunning than usual at this moment, and of course, more endearing.

However, the anger in her beautiful eyes, born of being mocked, did not allow Yun Ping to get any closer to her. She threw another punch, emptying her spiritual energy.

Afterwards, wiping away her tears, she turned around seemingly nonchalantly and left without saying a word.

"Hey, wait..."

"roll!!"

She turned around and roared, startling Yunping into swallowing back what he was about to say.

Soon after, Ye Yuchan's figure disappeared from sight.

This is troublesome.

Yunping suddenly felt a headache coming on, not only because he had angered Ye Yuchan, but also because Ye Yuchan's mental state was somewhat strange at the moment.

She seems to be too obsessed with hatred.

No wonder that the moment he said he would take her back to the sect to take revenge, an excited look involuntarily appeared on her face. This was an expression that only someone who desperately wanted revenge could show.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Having her spiritual root dug out by her fellow disciples and her body dumped in the wilderness must have been ordered by someone higher up. In other words, the entire sect was persecuting Ye Yuchan. It would be strange if she didn't feel hatred.

Judging from the girl's emotions, she wanted to slaughter the entire sect. For Ye Yuchan's future, Yunping couldn't do such a thing.

It seems we have to try a different approach.

Moreover... that aura... was just too similar.

"Teacher, teacher, what are you doing here!"

As I pondered, a light female voice rang in my ears.

Yunping turned around, looked at the petite girl in red with her hair tied in a side ponytail, smiled faintly, and reached out to pat her head.

"Little Kite, you've come at the right time. I have a favor to ask of you."

"Please ask Xiao Yuan for a favor?!" Lin Yuan's doll-like face lit up with surprise. She reached out her delicate little hand, grabbed Yun Ping's clothes, and shook them twice. "What does Teacher want to ask Xiao Yuan for a favor? Is it something fun?"

At this point, Lin Yuan pouted and huffed in dissatisfaction.

"My senior brothers have been playing basketball the whole time. Xiao Yuan's spiritual energy hasn't been completely purified yet, so she's not playing very well. They've decided to stop playing, but now Xiao Yuan is so bored."

"It's alright, little kitty, I'll get you something fun right away."

"Oh--"

The two little hands were immediately raised high.

As expected of a child, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up as soon as she heard the word "fun".

Yun Ping smiled faintly, took out a stack of papers printed with strange characters and lines from his storage ring, and placed them in Lin Yuan's hand.

The little guy took the paper and frowned, clearly unable to understand what was written on it.

She tilted her cute little head, pulled out a piece of paper from the pile, pointed to the bold black text at the top, and looked puzzled.

"Teacher, what is this... Pure Land of Bliss?"

"Ah, this is the name of the song."

"Songs?" Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then jumped up excitedly like a little rabbit, "Then...then these, could they all be sheet music?!"

Yunping smiled and nodded, a gesture that made Xiaolin Yuan so excited she almost fainted.

The little girl has exceptional musical talent, and her greatest wish in life is to become the number one musician in the Desolate Sky Domain. Unfortunately, the sheet music she possesses is extremely rare, and it is all ordinary sheet music that can be found everywhere.

Now that Yunping has produced so many sheet music pieces that she's never seen before, it's no wonder the little one is excited.

On the other hand, she had never even heard of these musical scores, let alone seen them!

What are Green Porcelain, Plum Blossom Terrace, Forbidden Boundary Line...?

With many questions still lingering in her mind, before she could even ask them, Yunping spoke first.

This time, he spoke in a very earnest tone.

"Alright, Xiao Yuan, I might be away for a day or two. You stay here and practice these musical scores, and also supervise your senior brothers' cultivation. If any of them slack off, tell me as soon as I get back, and I'll beat those lazy brats to death."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Lin Yuan nodded her head like a rattle drum. "Then... what about Sixth Junior Sister? Does she also need to cultivate?"

"Uh...you don't need to worry about her. Just make sure that girl doesn't run around."

"Good~"

Lin Yuan nodded obediently, blinked her bright eyes, and suddenly raised her hand like a primary school student, asking a question.

"Um, teacher, what are you going out to do?"

"I?"

Yunping bent down and gently pinched Lin Yuan's soft cheek.

Despite the dark clouds, Yunping smiled brightly and warmly.

"Your sixth junior sister has left something with someone else, so I need to go out for a while."

"Help her get it back."

9. So-called fate is nothing but a cruel joke.

Tianbei Valley.

Located on the south side of Jinglin City, it is one of the two major powers of Jinglin City, along with Leiyu Sect to the north.

Yunping recognized Tianbei Valley's Taoist robe. It was pure white with the character "Tian" printed in black on the back. The style was somewhat like a trench coat, but Tianbei Valley's Taoist robe was more elegant than a trench coat.

When Ye Yuchan was found, her tattered Taoist robe made her difficult to identify, but the character "Tian" on the back revealed that she was a disciple of Tianbei Valley.

The two disciples who escaped earlier were dressed exactly like Ye Yuchan, so it's likely that the elders of Tianbei Valley ordered the removal of Ye Yuchan's spiritual root.

This is also why Yunping came to Tianbei Valley.

"Hey, this place is pretty good. The people from Tianbei Valley know how to pick a spot."

Standing in front of the Tianbei Valley gate, looking at the two towering peaks on either side that pierce the clouds, the misty scenery is truly magnificent. The Tianbei Valley gate is located between the two high mountains, forming a winding path that leads into the interior of the gate.

Looking back on my rather desolate courtyard house, the surrounding area was barren. There were hardly any mountains or even weeds. The few green areas were all planted by myself.

This comparison clearly shows the gap between Tianbei Valley and their own academy.

"Huh? Why are there so many people..."

However, what caught Yunping's attention more than the magnificent scenery was the crowd of people outside the Tianbei Valley gate.

Logically speaking, Tianbei Valley's triennial ceremony to expand its sect and recruit new disciples should not have been held yet. It should still be about six months before the sect opens to the public and introduces fresh blood.
