It is said that Grandma Ma Jiu had always treated him well. Seeing the old man so forlorn, he almost softened and gave him the 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Pill' for free. But then he thought that he had to pay the price for what he had done back then, and the old man should do the same. The most important thing was not to let too many people know that he had such a spiritual pill, otherwise it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"Then I thank you." Grandma Ma Jiu nodded with satisfaction.

"This is something I owe you, and I should repay it. However..." Yue Qianchou glanced at Lan Bingxue, cupped his hands and pleaded, "I hope you, Ninth Aunt, will keep my master's secret safe."

Grandma Ma Jiu paused. This matter was of great importance. She had planned to tell Feng Xiangtian and the others about it after Yue Qianchou left, warning them to be careful to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, she had just made a difficult request to him, and it seemed unreasonable to refuse such a small request. Grandma Ma Jiu also glanced at Lan Bingxue and said to Yue Qianchou, "Don't worry, the matter concerning your master will not leave my Sang Cao Garden."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will visit you again when I have the chance. I will take my leave now!" Yue Qianchou said, bowing.

"Shall we leave Fu Xian Island now?" Grandma Ma Jiu asked.

"Yes, I have already promised the Myriad Demon Palace and the Wangyue Sect that I will make a trip to their place," Yue Qianchou replied.

"The Wangyue Sect? What about Qionghua?" Grandma Ma Jiu was clearly surprised as well. Why would the Wangyue Sect invite a man? She didn't say much, and pointed her 'Demon Slaying Staff' towards the sky, shooting out a beam of white light.

Yue Qianchou knew that she had activated the island's protective formation for him, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, senior!" The long sword behind him shot out, carrying him into the air, and a purple shadow chased after him.

The two people in the Sang Cao Garden watched the two disappear into the air. Grandma Ma Jiu suddenly sighed, "The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap. I heard that Yue Qianchou said such things when he was expelled from the sect. Now it seems that his youthful ambition was indeed true! Bingxue, can you believe it? Back then, he was just a junior disciple in the Qi Refining stage. In just over ten years, he has become famous in the Cultivation World and a guest of honor that all the major sects are eager to invite. His achievements are extraordinary!"

"No matter how high his achievements, he'll still have to be very polite to you," Lan Bingxue said with a smile. Grandma Ma Jiu shook her head, turned, and murmured something towards the direction of the Penglai Pavilion ...

Feng Xiangtian, who was in the middle of a discussion, suddenly fell silent, listened intently, and then frowned, remaining silent. Grandma Ma Jiu told him that Yue Qianchou could no longer join Fu Xian Island, and that Fu Xian Island should try not to provoke Yue Qianchou in the future, as the people behind him were someone Fu Xian Island could not afford to offend.

A man and a woman flew across the sea, heading towards the mainland. Suddenly, the Ziyi asked, "Yue Qianchou, you promised to protect that mother and daughter. What about the task Elder Bi entrusted to us?"

"With the number one sect in the world, Fu Xian Island, around, generally no one dares to provoke Hundred Flower Palace. We don't need to guard it every day. I will ask the Four Great Families to help keep an eye on it. If anything unexpected happens, we can talk about it then." At this point, Yue Qianchou turned his head and smiled, "Ziyi, when you go to the Wangyue Sect this time, remember to get the money they promised to give you first. Otherwise, it won't be good if they renege on their debt."

"I know that. When I see them, I'll make them pay first. If they dare to renege on their debt, humph! You can help me see what valuables their Wangyue Sect has that can be used to pay off the debt. I'll take them back to the Wu family and have them auction them off to raise money for us," Ziyi said without any politeness. It seems that she spent a few days with Wu Lixue and learned quite a bit about the Wu family's affairs; her learning ability is quite fast.

"Uh... I understand." Yue Qianchou looked at her with surprise and nodded repeatedly. He didn't expect her to know how to move things to pay off the debt. Yue Qianchou was deeply happy for her progress.

Wangyue Sect. Yue Qianchou didn't know where it was at first, but after remembering that there were disciples of the Wangyue Sect in the Misty Palace, he finally found out its location through Qu Ping'er's inquiry.

The Langhuan Mountains are a place of dense vegetation, teeming with ferocious beasts, and rarely visited by humans. There stands a solitary, steep mountain that rises high into the sky. From a distance, one could almost reach out and pluck the stars from its summit. The Wangyue Sect is located atop this mountain.

Yue Qianchou and Ziyi arrived in the dead of night. Upon seeing the mountain, they finally understood why it was called the Wangyue Sect Gazing Sect. The mountain was so high that the bright moon seemed to be right overhead, visible as soon as they looked up. Looking around the entire Wangyue Sect, from the summit, various buildings descended in layers, enveloping the entire mountain. Under the bright moonlight, as the two approached, they heard Hua Ruyi's voice from the summit asking, "Is that Yue Qianchou and Miss Ziyi?" She had clearly been waiting for them for a long time.

"Senior Hua, it is indeed us." After Yue Qianchou finished speaking, the two landed directly. Hua Ruyi walked towards them, nodded and smiled, "I thought you would stay on Fu Xian Island for a few more days. It's good that you're here. Please come with me to meet the Sect Master!"

Yue Qianchou was taken aback. Everyone in the Cultivation World knew that Fairy Qionghua didn't come out to meet people casually. Now, the two of them had just arrived, and they were already being led to see Fairy Qionghua. This was quite a lot of face. However, it seemed that the person she was mainly inviting was Ziyi. Could it be that the Wangyue Sect already knew the identity of Ziyi's master?

The moonlight was like water, and the Wangyue Sect, perched high in the sky, had a somewhat ethereal feel, reminiscent of the Moon Palace. Yue Qianchou, filled with doubt, followed Ziyi with Hua Ruyi. They didn't go to the quiet, massive main hall of the Wangyue Sect, but rather to a pavilion in the distance, bathed in moonlight. From afar, a woman could be faintly seen standing on the pavilion.

Upon closer inspection, the angle changed, and the woman disappeared from view. All that remained was a plaque hanging above the pavilion, bearing the three elegant characters "Silver Moon Pavilion," clearly written by a woman herself.

Hua Ruyi led the two to the pavilion. They immediately saw a woman in white robes, her hair piled high like jade flowers, bathed in the silvery moonlight. She was graceful yet lonely, her silhouette somewhat forlorn. Yue Qianchou wondered to himself, "Could this be the renowned Fairy Qionghua, the Wangyue Sect? It's said that unlike other sects, the Wangyue Sect Gazing Sect's leader has always been the sect's top expert. Could this woman before me be the Wangyue Sect's greatest expert?"

"Sect Master, Yue Qianchou and the girl in Ziyi have arrived," Hua Ruyi said.

He was undoubtedly the sect leader of the Wangyue Sect. Yue Qianchou quickly bowed and said, "Junior Yue Qianchou greets senior." Ziyi remained standing there without moving. She didn't care about being a sect leader or a sect master.

The woman nodded, hesitated for a long time before slowly turning around. She didn't speak, her eyes fixed on the woman in Ziyi with a somewhat unfocused gaze. Once she looked, her eyes were glued to her. Yue Qianchou looked up and his eyes lit up when he saw the woman's face. He clicked his tongue inwardly. Everyone said that the beauty of the Fairy Qionghua the Wangyue Sect was unparalleled. This was no exaggeration; she was practically comparable to Bai Suzhen. But why did he feel like he'd seen her somewhere before?

No one spoke in the attic. Yue Qianchou was also racking his brains, trying to remember where he had seen her before, but she seemed so familiar. Seeing her staring at Ziyi, Yue Qianchou glanced at Ziyi subconsciously, but his eyes widened suddenly, and he swung his head back and forth between Ziyi and Fairy Qionghua.

Damn! No wonder she looked familiar. If it weren't for the resemblance to that handsome old man Nong Zhu in her features, she'd be a carbon copy of the Fairy Qionghua! Especially her mouth and nose—they're practically identical. Yue Qianchou's eyes darted around...

Ziyi vaguely felt that she had seen this Fairy Qionghua somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where. The tranquility of the pavilion was broken by her, and Ziyi asked, "Are you the sect leader of the Wangyue Sect?"

"Yes!" Fairy Qionghua nodded excitedly. Upon hearing this, Yue Qianchou was immediately amazed. Not only was she beautiful, but her voice was also so pleasant. No wonder she rarely showed herself to others. He wondered how most men could be as composed as him; they would probably be stunned.

The Ziyi pointed at Hua Ruyi and said, "She said that as long as I come, she will give me 20 million high-grade Spirit Stones. Pay upfront!"

She maintained her direct speaking style, while Yue Qianchou stood to the side with her head down, not looking at anything, as if to tell others that what she said had nothing to do with him.

"Are you usually short of money?" Fairy Qionghua's melodious voice rang out, her eyes revealing concern.

"I've been short of money," said the Ziyi, holding out her hand. "Give me the money you promised first!"

"You've never had any money?" Qionghua's voice was somewhat out of control as she looked Ziyi up and down, biting her lip and saying excitedly, "Where's your master? Has your master never given you Spirit Stone?"

"No." The Ziyi shook her head and said, "Pay first! If you change your mind later, who am I supposed to ask for the money? We can talk after you pay."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Qionghua's face turned deathly pale. Her gaze towards Ziyi was filled with extreme pity, and endless sorrow and remorse welled up in her eyes, as if she had done something to wrong Ziyi. Her voice trembled as she said, "Ruyi. Give her twenty million, no, give her fifty million!"

Fifty million? Yue Qianchou and Ziyi were both stunned. Hua Ruyi sighed, shook her head, and took out a Storage Bag from her Storage Bag, handing it to Ziyi. As soon as Ziyi took it, she couldn't wait to inject her Divine Sense to examine it. After reading it, she stared at Fairy Qionghua and said, "This is the extra money you asked for yourself. I didn't force you. Don't go back on your word later."

"I won't go back on my word, I won't go back on my word. Take it and use it as you like. If you need more, come to the Wangyue Sect and find me again." Fairy Qionghua's voice choked slightly as she spoke. Yue Qianchou glanced at her discreetly and noticed a hint of tears in her eyes. This only strengthened his suspicions—there was something going on! Absolutely something going on!

Ziyi seemed to realize that she had taken a bit too much money from people, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Since you gave me so much extra money, ask me anything! I'll tell you everything I can, but I definitely won't tell you anything I can't."

Fairy Qionghua nodded repeatedly, then turned her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes before turning back to ask, "I heard that your master is known as 'Mr. Nongzhu'. What is your master's real name? Is it Xiaoyao?"
