Feeling the warmth envelop his palm, the boy was stunned for a moment, then met the other's gentle gaze. This was the first time he had ever felt such pure kindness, and his doubts were somewhat dispelled.
"Without our master, let's go."
He spoke in a childish voice, then gently grasped his master's hand. The master noticed this and trembled slightly. A strange feeling rose in his heart, and the face of his newly accepted disciple seemed even more endearing.
"Okay, let's go, my good disciple."
Looking at the reliable backs of the two people in front of him, he also began to look forward to the future. In addition, the system has now been completely unblocked, and the days ahead will definitely get better and better, the young man couldn't help but think.
Chapter Three: Yi Xuan Yi Jiang, named Yi Xue
"Disciple, now that you have become a disciple of my Yunkui Mountain sect, you can focus on your cultivation from now on. Don't worry, you will have food to eat and a place to stay."
The snowfall intensified, and his master's voice seemed to become muffled and fragmented due to the wind and snow. However, he did not feel cold at this moment. A faint golden halo surrounded his two masters, like the protective aura in cultivation novels, shielding him from the wind and snow.
Of course, another reason was that he felt that the bright future of no longer going hungry was just around the corner, so his body unconsciously began to burst with strength.
Soon, the group gradually left the market and arrived at the foot of Yunkui Mountain. It was a stone-paved mountain path that stretched as far as the eye could see, leading straight up to the clouds.
"Let's go, my disciple. Our mountain gate is just up this way."
After saying this, the master took the lead and stepped onto the stone steps, followed by the other master. The path was very slippery, and now it was covered with a thin layer of snow that seemed to be melting but not quite. If one was not careful, one would slip and fall. However, the two masters walked steadily.
He followed cautiously behind the two men. At first, he did find it a little difficult to adapt, but judging from the reactions of his two masters, he knew that they were testing him. Otherwise, who would leave a six-year-old child to walk alone on dangerous stone steps without doing anything?
Damn it, a mere mountain road won't stop me from securing a long-term meal ticket!
Thinking of this, the boy gritted his teeth and tried his best to adapt to this difficult walking mode. The little white dog in his arms seemed to sense its owner's high enthusiasm and meowed to cheer him on.
Seeing the boy struggling to catch up, the two people walking ahead couldn't help but smile slightly, seemingly pleased that he hadn't asked them for help.
Seeing that he was getting used to this way of walking, the two slowed down their pace and then began to introduce Yunkui Mountain to him.
Yunkui Mountain is a big family that has taken in many homeless children like him. Just like the two masters in front of him, they were once adopted and brought back to Yunkui Mountain by their master.
The disciples on the mountain love each other dearly, and the masters and elders are all highly skilled. On ordinary days, the disciples of Yunkui Mountain will take the initiative to go down the mountain to save people and punish evil and promote good. The masters will also often take on some tasks that others cannot handle. This is also a source of income for Yunkui Mountain.
For these reasons, the residents of Weifeidi greatly respected the masters of Yunkuishan. No wonder the shopkeeper reacted that way when he saw the two of them; he must have received a lot of help from Yunkuishan on a regular basis.
As the two men spoke, a glimmer of longing flashed in the boy's eyes. After all, becoming a chivalrous hero, punishing evil and living a carefree life in the martial world was the dream of many young people, and he was no exception. If what the two men said was true, then Yunkui Mountain was indeed a good place to go, where one could not only fill one's stomach but also cultivate to become a chivalrous hero.
The rules on the mountain are not strict, and there is no need to be tense and suffer every day. Apart from the fixed practice of magic and basic martial arts, you can use your time as you please. You can travel in the mountains with your fellow disciples or meditate to cultivate your mind.
Moreover, Yunkui Mountain never restricts where its disciples go. Once they have mastered their skills, they can choose to go down the mountain to explore and broaden their horizons, or stay in the mountain to cultivate in peace. It is entirely up to their own will, and no one will be forcibly bound.
The boy nodded slightly after hearing this. He also longed for a free life and didn't want to be restricted.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that after listening to his two masters talk so much, he still didn't know their names, so he asked.
"Master, I don't even know your names yet."
The two people walking ahead stopped, turned around, and smiled gently, their voices as warm as a spring breeze melting snow.
"Oh dear, we forgot to tell you, my disciple, listen carefully. My name is Yi Jiang, and the lady beside me is my younger sister, Yi Xuan."
(Yi Jiang on the right, Yi Xuan on the left)
As she spoke, she pointed to Yi Xuan beside her. Yi Xuan looked at him, his brows showing a hint of a smile, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"From now on, you can call us Master Yixuan or Master Yijiang."
Actually, she didn't really have any thoughts about taking on a disciple, but since her older sister was so happy, she, as the younger sister, was naturally happy too, so she developed a bit more affection for him.
The boy silently repeated the two names in his mind twice, then nodded vigorously, a faint smile appearing on his face. It was the first time he had smiled so relaxedly since he transmigrated.
"I remember, Master Yi Jiang, Master Yi Xuan."
"Good boy." Yi Jiang gently patted his head. "The mountain road is still long. Let's keep going up. When we get to the mountain gate, I'll introduce you to the other fellow disciples."
"Speaking of which, my dear disciple, your master doesn't even know your name yet. Can you tell your master?"
Faced with Yi Jiang's question, the boy seemed a little embarrassed and hesitated for a few seconds before slowly speaking.
“Master…I…have no name.”
Yi Jiang was taken aback upon hearing this, and a pang of heartache welled up in her heart. Looking at the well-behaved and sensible child in front of her, and recalling the journey they had taken together through wind and snow, she immediately made up her mind.
She gently raised her hand to brush away the snowflakes that had fallen on the boy's shoulder, her gaze tender yet earnest.
"It's alright, I'll give you a name since you don't have one."
Yi Xuan, standing to the side, nodded gently, quietly waiting for his sister to help him choose a name.
Yi Jiang gazed at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, then looked into the boy's pure and clear eyes, and slowly spoke:
"Now that the snow is falling heavily, and you have met us amidst the wind and snow, and you will be living in Yunkui Mountain for a long time, who knows how many more snowy days you will spend there? Why don't you take our surname Yi and give us the single name Xue, and call us Yi Xue?"
The boy paused for a moment. Yi Xue sounded nice, but... it seemed to be a name for girls. Thinking of this, he was about to speak, but when he met Yi Jiang's expectant gaze and Yi Xuan's threatening look, he swallowed the words on his lips.
Fine, fine, Yi Xue it is. It's better than being an unknown person forever. Let's use this name as the beginning of his new life.
He nodded under pressure and bowed deeply to Yi Jiang. Although he felt the name was a bit awkward, his tone still carried a hint of sincerity.
"This disciple is pleased, thank you Master! From now on, my name will be Yixue."
"Alright, from today onwards, you will be Yixue, a disciple of Yunkui Mountain."
Yi Jiang chuckled, then looked at Yi Xuan beside her, who returned the smile. They had indeed taken in a very interesting disciple this time. He was so eloquent at such a young age. Back when they followed their master up the mountain, they were so dull and didn't dare to say a word.
After walking uphill for most of the way, young Yi Xue's legs were already sore and weak from her young age. Her pace slowed down and her breathing became rapid, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound, stubbornly refusing to show weakness.
Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan, who were walking ahead, saw this and their hearts softened. They were no longer willing to test them further.
Yi Jiang stopped first, turned around and walked towards him, then squatted down slightly and spoke softly.
"Xue'er, you must be exhausted. Come on, let me carry you for a while."
Hearing Yi Jiang call him so intimately, Yi Xue was a little uncomfortable for a moment and subconsciously shook his head. However, the soreness in his legs made him unable to bear it. After hesitating for a while, he timidly and gently leaned down.
In his previous life, he also started as a beggar, used to wandering, and never wanted to trouble others easily. He also didn't know how to respond to other people's kindness.
Yi Xue's small body gently leaned against Yi Jiang's warm back, her two little hands obediently wrapped around his neck, while she also protected the little white dog curled up in her arms.
Seeing that he was lying down safely, Yi Jiang got up, and Yi Xuan followed beside her. Looking at him on Yi Jiang's back, his eyes were somewhat complicated, as if he was reminiscing about something. The two slowed down their pace and walked steadily on the snow-covered stone steps with great ease.
The snow continued to fall in the mountains, and the golden halo around them remained firmly enveloping the three of them, blocking out all the cold and keeping them warm.
Yi Xue hugged Yi Jiang's neck slightly tighter. His back wasn't broad, but it was just right for carrying him, warm and comforting.
Chapter 4: My dear disciple, would you like to take a bath with your master?
"Master, if I cultivate according to the methods you teach, will I be able to become this powerful one day?"
When Yi Xue first encountered a martial artist like Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan, who walked through the snow and wind as if on flat ground, she was naturally curious. It was like a chivalrous hero from a childhood storybook suddenly appearing before her eyes. He gently passed his finger through the surrounding halo, and the halo rippled like the surface of water before returning to calm.
It was still very cold outside, so cold that he shivered and quickly withdrew his hand. But what he didn't notice was that some of the energy from the aura seemed to have entered his body along with his contact.
When Yi Jiang heard Yi Xue's soft, sweet voice on her back, she paused in her steps, then spoke gently.
"Of course, Xue'er, you have exceptional talent. If you work hard in your training, you'll soon become just as powerful."
Listening to Yi Jiang's words, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, because he didn't think he was any different from ordinary people. He was just a little more resistant to the cold, and even that he attributed to his strong will.
However, it was different in Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan's eyes. As cultivators, they could see the spiritual energy (PS: also known as ether) emanating from the world surrounding Yi Xue. Although he had no cultivation method, he was subtly absorbing this spiritual energy, which is why he was able to persevere until now without any support.
At first, they only had doubts, but after getting to know the child, they confirmed it. This child was an exceptional talent, and in terms of talent, he was even better than they were back then.
More importantly, Yi Xue has an excellent temperament. When he was being harassed by the waiter, he did not choose to hit him hard but only pushed him gently, which shows that deep down he did not want to hurt the other party. Such temperament is rare to find in a child as young as him.
When they stole the steamed buns back then, they didn't care how hard they kicked them.
After walking along the winding stone steps for a long time, the view suddenly opened up, and the majestic and simple mountain gate stood quietly on the flat ground at the top of the mountain. The wooden plaque was engraved with the three powerful characters "Yun Kui Mountain". The surrounding trees were lush and green, and even when covered with white snow, they exuded a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
Yi Jiang gently placed Yi Xue on her back to the ground, while Yi Xuan stood aside, his gaze fixed on the figures moving back and forth inside the mountain gate.
"Xue'er, we've arrived at the mountain gate. From now on, this will be your home."
With her feet firmly planted on the smooth stone ground, Yi Xue stretched her aching legs. Little White, nestled in her arms, peeked out, curiously surveying the unfamiliar surroundings. The temperature inside the mountain was much warmer than down below. The wind and snow were blocked by the mountain's terrain, leaving only the soft rustling of leaves and the sounds of cultivators practicing their martial arts. Though not as bustling as a market, it added a touch of liveliness to the winter day.
As Yi Xue entered the courtyard of the mountain gate, she saw many children who were slightly older than herself. They were all wearing Taoist robes and were presumably disciples adopted by Yun Kui Mountain.
Many disciples wearing the same Taoist robes passed by. When they saw Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan, they stopped and bowed. Their eyes fell on Yi Xue, who had a youthful appearance and was dressed in tattered clothes, with a mixture of goodwill and curiosity.
"This is a newly admitted disciple named Yi Xue."
Yi Jiang smiled and began to introduce them. The fellow disciples were taken aback for a moment, then nodded in a friendly manner. After exchanging brief greetings, they went about their own business.
Watching his senior brothers leave, Yi Xue couldn't help but curiously examine his master. The disciples in the mountains all treated her with great respect, which showed that her status was definitely not low, but he was not quite sure to what extent.
Yi Jiang then led him toward the residence. Along the way, there were houses scattered about, with a simple and clean layout. There were also many training tools placed by the roadside. Along the way, the disciples were either practicing their fist and sword techniques in groups or sitting in front of their houses chatting and resting. The atmosphere was very harmonious and peaceful, without any of the oppressive feeling of being in the apocalypse.
"The accommodations in the mountains are all two people per room. You'll stay with us for now, and once you're familiar with the environment, you can arrange your own accommodations according to your own wishes," Yi Xuan said softly, looking at Yi Xue who was looking around.
"Yes, disciple understands."
Yi Xue nodded gently after hearing this, but she was secretly delighted. Wouldn't it be easier for him to gain favor with his two masters if they lived together? Besides, who wouldn't want to live with two older sisters?
After passing through several small paths, the three arrived at a secluded courtyard with a rustic atmosphere. Yi Jiang led him to a room in the corner of the courtyard. The room was simply furnished, with tables, chairs, and beds, all neatly arranged. Opening the window revealed a view of the snow-covered mountains, which was very comforting.
"Xue'er, this is your room. Your Master Yixuan and I are in the next room. If you need anything, just call us."
Yi Xue stood in the house holding Xiao Bai, looking at the safe place she had just settled in. First, she had traveled through time, then she had wandered with Xiao Bai, and then she had been picked up by two strange older sisters. It all felt a little unreal.
After settling him in, Yi Jiang brought him clean clothes, shoes, and socks. From now on, he would be a disciple of Yun Kui Mountain, and she couldn't let him continue to wander around in that tattered cotton coat.
After wandering for many days, Yi Xue's body was covered in dust and had a faint sour smell. Wearing it like this would probably dirty the new clothes, so Yi Jiang simply let him go to the shower stall next door to wash up first, so that they could help him tidy up the room.
Upon entering the cubicle, the most striking feature was the wooden tub placed inside. The tub was so large that it seemed capable of holding three or four people. He gently pulled the lever on the wall, and hot water flowed through the pipes overhead, filling the tub. Wisps of white steam rose, dispelling the chill that had enveloped him.
He took off all his clothes, grabbed a towel from a shelf and draped it over the edge of the tub, then stepped onto the steps and entered the tub.
Feeling the water in the tub gradually rise over his shoulders, the fatigue in his body seemed to be dispelled. The comfortable feeling made him close his eyes and hum softly. What could be better than taking a hot bath after a long day of hard work?
[Task issued: Find a way to bathe with Yi Xuan and Yi Jiang. Task reward: Random high-level skill]
P.S.: Some things you only realize are precious when you grow up, so enjoy your time with your masters while you're still a child.
Hearing the system notification in her ear, Yi Xue was slightly taken aback. Just then, the door to the cubicle was gently pushed open, and two soft footsteps followed. At the same time, Yi Jiang's gentle voice rang in her ears.
"My dear disciple, would you like to take a bath with your master?"
Chapter Five: Yi Xue, manipulated by Yi Jiang
Yi Xue looked in the direction of the sound and, through the steam, saw Yi Jiang carrying clean clothes and Yi Xuan carrying clean shoes and socks. The two walked in one after the other.
But that's not the main point. After removing their outer robes, the two of them were only wearing a thin bath towel.
Let's take a look at Yi Jiang first. She let her long hair fall loosely over her shoulders, and compared to her previous heroic master, she had become more languid. When she stretched her waist, her flower branches were full and trembling, revealing her almost perfect curves. When she bent over, she was the most eye-catching. The deep mountain ravines accompanied by snow-white skin made him unable to look away.
Her long, slender, and plump legs were like precious jade, flawless and without an ounce of excess fat. Just standing there, she seemed to exemplify what it means to be graceful and beautiful.
While Yi Xuan was slightly less attractive than his sister in terms of figure, her youthful and beautiful appearance had its own unique charm. Moreover, he had a feeling that she could still develop.
"My dear disciple, shall your master help you wash?"
After saying that, Yi Jiang put the change of clothes aside and walked towards the bathtub with a smile on her face. Yi Xuan, who was standing next to her, smiled helplessly and then followed her.
Bathing in the mountains is always simple. The two sisters often bathe together. Presumably, Yixue is a new disciple and may feel a little scared and reserved. So they decided to bathe together. Since she is already their disciple, they should take good care of her.
Children like Xue'er, who wander outside, are most lacking in care. They do this in order to enhance the relationship between master and apprentice, so that they can help each other integrate into the big family of Yunkui Mountain as soon as possible.
That being said, Yi Jiang's expression at this moment seemed somewhat malicious, like that of a strange uncle who had a particular fondness for children.
As the two approached, Yi Xue's feelings were very complicated. She didn't know what to say and could only turn her head away in a panic.
Seeing this, the two assumed he was just shy and couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Yi Jiang even spoke softly.
"Alright, it's common for junior disciples to look after each other, let alone us, who are master and disciple. There's no need to be so shy."
However, what they didn't know was that although Yi Xue looked like a child on the surface, she had the soul of an adult inside. In her previous life, she had never even been in a relationship, and her understanding of such things was limited to Liu Bei. If she really encountered it, she would be at a loss.
Just as he was pondering, Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan had already arrived behind him. The two removed their bath towels and stepped into the water, revealing their perfect bodies to him without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
The small bathroom was filled with white steam, blurring his vision. The warm water obscured most of his body, but he could still vaguely see something.
The snow-white, plump fruit was right there in front of him, the mountain peak adorned with the delicate beauty of a young girl, as tempting as a cherry to be picked. He could even smell a faint milky fragrance.
He had never seen such a scene before. His heart was pounding with excitement and he was also a little flustered. So he subconsciously stepped back, and Yi Xuan happened to be right behind him.
By the time Yi Xue felt the soft touch on the back of his head, it was too late. He turned around stiffly and saw Yi Xuan with white hair draped over his shoulders and skin as white as jade. The warm water made him even more alluring. A pair of enchanting breasts hung on his chest. Although they were slightly smaller than Yi Jiang's, they were still full and pink, like a cream cake decorated with strawberries.
He swallowed hard and subconsciously looked up at Yi Xuan. There was no blame in her eyes; her golden eyes held an almost loving affection. She gently tapped his nose with her water-dampened fingers and then spoke softly.
