Mu Yunxue: Junior Brother Lu is wonderful

Footsteps approached from afar in the corridor, Jiang Shiqing, who had just seen Mu Yunxue out of the cave abode, turned back.

She was still wearing a bright red dress, her dark hair loosely tied up with a silver hairpin, the tassels on the hairpin swaying gently in the mist.

Seeing Wang Shiyi standing next to Lu Yang, Jiang Shiqing was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised. "Shiyi?"

Wang Shiyi bowed respectfully to her, his voice trembling. "Shiqing."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Shiyi already has the strength of the Peak Nascent Soul. With her protecting you, you shouldn't encounter any danger within Qin Province Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqing covered her mouth, her bright eyes filled with shock, and exclaimed, "Peak Nascent Soul?!"

She immediately recalled the time when the young master had elevated Wang Liu to the Peak Nascent Soul.

Has the young master been promoted to Shiyi this time as well?

My lord loves me so much!

Jiang Shiqing's heart surged with love, her eyes instantly reddened, and she quickly ran to Lu Yang's arms, gently rubbing against Lu Yang's neck like a kitten.

Then she tilted her head back, her bright eyes glistening with tears, and her voice carried a soft, seductive tone.

She brought her red lips close to Lu Yang's ear, her hot breath gently brushing against Lu Yang earlobe.

"Young master~ Shiqing seems to be feeling a little unwell~ and wants to be bullied."

Lu Yang: "???"

He looked at Jiang Shiqing's slightly flushed cheeks, feeling both annoyed and amused.

He's both terrible at the game and loves to play!

However, I happened to have missed my daily routine for today, so I'll take this opportunity to do it now.

He scooped Jiang Shiqing in his arms, and she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, her soft, sweet red lips meeting his.

Their breaths intertwined, gradually becoming hot and heavy.

The rustling of clothes echoed in the corridor, and Jiang Shiqing's voice trembled as she asked, "Young... Young Master, aren't we going back to the bedroom?"

"Right here."

When Mu Yunxue came out of the cave abode, the sunlight outside made her squint slightly.

The sun was high in the sky at the end of winter; it was midday.

Sunlight filtered through layers of mist, bathing the entire mountain in a soft golden hue.

The mist slowly swirls in the mountains, the pine forest by the roadside rustles in the wind, and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of Spirit Plants, the moisture of the soil, and the unique slightly bitter aroma of pine needles.

Mu Yunxue rode her sword and soared into the air. The mountain breeze brushed against her cool and beautiful face, causing a few strands of hair at her temples to flutter slightly, and her sky-blue hair ribbon to sway gently in the wind.

She took out her sect token and sent a telepathic message to her master, telling him that she had finished her discussion and asking for the location of her cave abode.

A moment later, the sect token vibrated slightly, and the master's voice echoed back, "Fang'er will come to pick you up immediately."

Mu Yunxue's delicate eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

In the past, she felt no emotion when facing Qi Fang; she simply felt that communicating with Qi Fang was a waste of time and quite troublesome.

But now, she finds herself somewhat reluctant to see Qi Fang.

Strangeness...

Why would you have this idea?

She didn't quite understand.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from not far away.

A sword light pierced through layers of spiritual mist, flying from the direction of the mountain peak to the side.

A young man stood on the flying sword.

He was tall and slender, and his appearance and the expression between his brows bore a resemblance to Qi Yunshu.

He wore a moon-white robe, tailored to Integrated Body, with fine sword patterns embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs and collar.

They were in Qi Fang.

He stopped a few steps in front of Mu Yunxue, not approaching any closer. He cupped his hands slightly and smiled, saying, "Junior Sister Mu, you've arrived."

His smile was somewhat forced, and his gaze towards Mu Yunxue was quite complex.

When I first met Mu Yunxue, she was a fourteen-year-old girl.

At that time, Mu Yunxue already possessed stunning beauty, and coupled with her aloof and indifferent nature, she resembled an exquisite porcelain doll.

Qi Fang's heart skipped a beat the moment they met for the first time.

Coupled with Mu Yunxue's monstrous talent and Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root, Mu Yunxue almost immediately recognized her as his perfect match upon first Qi Fang.

At that time, he had two dao companion by his side, but in order to express his feelings to Mu Yunxue, he gave up both of dao companion.

But for the next four years, no matter how hard he tried, he always felt that there was a thick, invisible and intangible barrier between him and Mu Yunxue.

The distance between the two never narrowed even slightly.

He wasn't in a hurry at first; cultivators have long lifespans, and there's plenty of time ahead.

He believed that feelings would develop over time, and as long as he showed enough sincerity, Mu Yunxue would eventually start to see him in a different light.

This morning, the ancestor personally called him to his side and spoke those words with great earnestness, which struck him like a thunderbolt.

Mu Yunxue was discussing Dao with the mysterious and noble Young Master Lu in his cave abode!

In fact, Qi Fang had once discussed Mu Yunxue.

At that time Mu Yunxue had just broken through to the Late Qi Refining and cultivated the Earth Grade superior-grade "Golden Light Nine Refinements True Explanation", gaining her initial understanding of the Metal Dao.

At the time, he was going to great lengths to get close to her, frequently finding various excuses to meet with her.

Mu Yunxue then asked him to explain some basics of the Metal Dao.

Qi Fang was overjoyed at that time.

Because he was already at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage at that time, and had cultivated the "Golden Light Nine Refinements True Explanation" to a minor completion level, he believed that he had gained a fairly good understanding of the Metal Dao.

However, it was only during that one discussion that he understood one thing.

Even among geniuses, there are differences.

In just one discussion, Mu Yunxue's understanding of the Metal Dao improved at a visible speed. The questions she asked became increasingly tricky, until even he could not answer them in the end!

After that discussion, Mu Yunxue never sought him out again. Instead, she went directly to his ancestor, who was also Mu Yunxue's master, Qi Yunshu.

And he never brought up the matter of discussing Dao with Mu Yunxue again.

He knew the reason.

Because he was afraid, he was jealous.

Mu Yunxue's comprehension was so exceptional that he couldn't accept his own mediocrity.

Now, Mu Yunxue and that noble young master are discussing the Dao!

As Qi Yunshu's most outstanding junior, Qi Fang had naturally heard a lot about the noble young master from Qi Yunshu.

He had also heard that the young nobleman possessed an exceptionally high level of talent and comprehension.

According to the old master's evaluation, he was unprecedented.

Perhaps Mu Yunxue's discussion of Dao with such a genius would be different from her own?

Perhaps, only geniuses can truly resonate with each other?

Therefore, upon hearing this news, Qi Fang felt a tightness in his chest, and his heart was filled with both distress and fear.

He worried that Mu Yunxue might fall in love with that noble young man.

After all, that young nobleman had a terrifying background, looked like an immortal descended to earth, possessed unparalleled talent, and according to the patriarch, had a rather gentle and refined personality.

Even he couldn't find any fault with such a man.

If he were a female cultivator, perhaps she too would fall in love with such a noble young man?

The patriarch meant that he should give up on Mu Yunxue.

After all these years, Mu Yunxue had never shown him even the slightest romantic affection.

The two of them may simply not be a good match.

But these years of pursuit have become ingrained in his very being; how could he simply let go of them?

Therefore, when Qi Yunshu mentioned that Mu Yunxue was coming, he immediately offered to pick her up.

Qi Yunshu remained silent for a few moments before finally agreeing.

At this moment, Qi Fang looked closely at Mu Yunxue in front of him and saw that she still had that expressionless face, no different from before.

For four years, he wore the same expression and had the same attitude.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, Junior Sister Mu is no ordinary female cultivator; she wouldn't fall in love so easily.

Even when facing a noble young master who seems like an immortal being, it's impossible!

Mu Yunxue was completely unaware of the complex emotions Qi Fang.

She calmly said, "Senior Brother Qi, please take me to my cave abode."

"Okay, this way!" Qi Fang quickly perked up and enthusiastically led the way.

He changed direction on his flying sword, and said with a smile as he flew, "Our cave abode aren't far apart. If Junior Sister Mu needs any help, just come and find me."

Mu Yunxue shook her head. "I don't need any help."

Qi Fang's smile suddenly became somewhat awkward.

However, this is indeed Mu Yunxue's consistent attitude.

It had been like this for the past four years, so he wasn't too surprised.

He took a deep breath, casually changing the subject, his tone as relaxed as possible. "By the way, I heard from the Ancestor that you went to discuss the Dao with that Young Master Lu? How did it go?"

Upon hearing this, a very subtle ripple appeared in Mu Yunxue's usually calm and aloof eyes.

She recalled how, when she was comprehending the Metal Dao, Lu Yang quietly rose to refill her tea, and how Lu Yang had said, "A fellow Daoist like you is far more precious than the Dao Comprehension Tea."

Then, for no apparent reason, the words he had said later popped into her mind, "Senior Sister Mu is elegant and refined, with unparalleled beauty. I can't bear to see Senior Sister Mu's beauty fade away..."

Her pink lips curved into a slight, almost imperceptible smile before returning to their usual calm.

Her usually cool voice held a subtle warmth. "Junior Brother Lu is very good."

Qi Fang: "????"

Qi Fang's smile froze completely.
