Yun Qiong Took a Disciple, and Purple Pearl Became an Aunt?
Quan Yi glanced around and immediately spotted two distinct clusters of Soul Power in the center of the island.
As it happened, Quan Yi knew them.
Ghost Island is under military control.
And at the center of the island is the island's command center.
Inside the command post, a spirited woman with short purple hair was reporting the situation to a kind old lady.
"Madam Yun, after a month of cleanup, we have completely eradicated the Pirate Group forces within a thousand miles of the Three Islands."
The scattered nests have been completely taken over by our forces.
These nests will form a formidable defensive line, completely preventing external forces from intruding into the Three Islands.
If an outsider were to witness this scene, that person would surely show a look of surprise.
Because the purple-haired woman is a rising powerhouse in this Sea Area, the leader of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, Zi Zhenzhu.
This person's power grew extremely rapidly.
In just one or two years, they swept away countless notorious Pirate Group, bringing long-lost order and peace to this Sea Area.
Many merchant ships could safely sail through the Sea Area controlled by the Purple Pearl Pirate Group by paying a small fee.
As for whether anyone will cause trouble on their territory.
The countless souls adrift on the Sea Area will remind them.
The terrifying impact of Quan Yi and Huo Wu's bloody cleanup, which lasted for half a year, radiated to even more distant Sea Area.
It was by leveraging this power that Zi Zhenzhu absorbed the forces at sea and became a major overlord of the ocean.
However, outsiders are unaware that the Quan Family is hidden behind the Zi Zhenzhu.
The old lady whom Zi Zhenzhu treated with utmost respect was none other than Yun Qiong.
Yun Qiong smiled and said, "Little Pearl, thank you for your hard work. From now on, you will continue to be in charge of the perimeter security."
Zi Zhenzhu was called Little Pearl, and she showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
On the contrary, she was proud of it.
Female Spirit Master at the Soul Douluo level are extremely rare.
Moreover, as a senior figure in the Spirit Master World, Yun Qiong often gave her pointers.
Yun Qiong, possessing both wisdom and strength, dignity and kindness, completely won over Zi Zhenzhu.
"The most difficult parts were handled by the Young Master and young mistress. I only cleaned up the mess, so it wasn't difficult at all."
After finishing their business, Yun Qiong's gaze remained fixed on Zi Zhenzhu.
Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Zi Zhenzhu asked, puzzled, "Is there anything else you need?"
Yun Qiong gazed at Zi Zhenzhu, as if she had made a decision, and said solemnly, "Zhenzhu, I intend to take you as my disciple. I wonder if you agree?"
"Taking on apprentices!"
Zi Zhenzhu's eyes were wide open; she was clearly terrified.
"What, am I not qualified?"
Yun Qiong feigned anger and pressed Zi Zhenzhu for answers.
Zi Zhenzhu finally realized what was happening, and her expression changed from surprise to joy.
She knelt on one knee, clasped her hands tightly together, and said, "Disciple greets Master."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"Get up, my dear disciple."
Yun Qiong smiled broadly as she lifted Zi Zhenzhu Zi Zhenzhu, holding her hands tightly in her own, her affection for Zi Zhenzhu evident.
Taking on a disciple or becoming a disciple is of extraordinary significance to both parties.
Yun Qiong also spent a year observing before finally making up her mind to take him as a disciple.
Although Zi Zhenzhu was quite dissolute in the past, she was not a bad person at heart, and her talent was exceptional.
With a little polishing, Zi Zhenzhu can definitely shine even more brilliantly.
Faced with the exquisite beauty of Zi Zhenzhu, Yun Qiong had the idea of taking her on as a disciple for the first time.
Fortunately, Zi Zhenzhu did not reject her; otherwise, she would have really lost face.
On the other hand, Zi Zhenzhu was like someone who had been hit by a giant cake; sweetness and surprise descended upon her at the same time.
However, she forced herself to cheer up and resolutely became Yun Qiong's disciple.
Yun Qiong had been teaching her intentionally or unintentionally on a daily basis. In Zi Zhenzhu's heart, Yun Qiong had long become both a teacher and a mother figure.
Now that Yun Qiong has proposed taking on apprentices, she wouldn't let herself off the hook if she missed this opportunity.
Zi Zhenzhu felt Yun Qiong's warmth in her hands, her eyes reddening slightly. She hadn't felt the care of an elder for a long time.
"How could I miss out on such a great opportunity?"
The sudden sound of outsiders inside the closed house startled Yun Qiong and Zi Zhenzhu, who broke out in a cold sweat.
However, when she realized that the voices were very familiar to them, Yun Qiong patted her chest and said, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Wu, are you trying to scare me to death?"
"I'm sorry, Grandma, the security here is too tight. We're just afraid of causing a commotion."
Huo Wu's voice echoed in the room, and as soon as she finished speaking, the figures of Quan Yi and Huo Wu gradually appeared before the two of them.
"Grandma, we're back!"
Quan Yi walked up to Yun Qiong and hugged her tightly.
Yun Qiong gently stroked Quan Yi's back, easing their longing for each other.
"Sigh, I didn't expect you to come out of seclusion so soon. I really don't know whether I should be happy or not?"
The reunion was joyful, but it also meant that Quan Yi would have to face Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Of course, she didn't stop Quan Yi from obtaining Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but the problem was that Quan Yi's plan was to face Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast alone.
"Don't worry, Grandma, I've made all the necessary preparations!"
After comforting Yun Qiong, Quan Yi looked at Zi Zhenzhu.
Zi Zhenzhu quickly bowed, intending to salute Quan Yi.
However, Quan Yi reached out and stopped her.
"No need for formalities. Since you've been accepted as my Grandma's apprentice, I should call you aunt according to seniority."
Zi Zhenzhu looked troubled. Logically speaking, that was indeed the case, but she didn't dare to bring up seniority when facing Quan Yi.
Yun Qiong noticed Zi Zhenzhu's predicament and said, "Zhenzhu, don't be nervous. This means that Xiao Yi approves of you."
Zi Zhenzhu's lips twitched slightly. Suppressing her nervousness, she spoke in a slightly trembling voice, "Alright, please guide me in the future, nephew."
Quan Yi smiled faintly and extended his hand, saying, "Please give me your guidance, Aunt."
Quan Yi didn't have a deep understanding of Zi Zhenzhu, but Quan Yi trusted Yun Qiong's judgment.
Now that he has become Yun Qiong's apprentice, Quan Yi must change his attitude towards Zi Zhenzhu.
The relationship between a master and his apprentice can sometimes be even closer than that between relatives or family members.
In that sense, Zi Zhenzhu could be considered half a family member, so it was only right for her to call her aunt.
Zi Zhenzhu subconsciously wiped her palms and carefully grasped Quan Yi's hand.
Zi Zhenzhu felt flattered and overwhelmed to receive Quan Yi's approval.
"Hello Auntie, please take good care of me in the future."
Huo Wu suddenly appeared from the side, and for some reason, Quan Yi felt a chill down his back and subconsciously let go of her hand.
Huo Wu smiled and shook Zi Zhenzhu's hand, waving her arm enthusiastically.
Given Zi Zhenzhu's preferences, being shaken by a beauty like Huo Wu should have been a cause for celebration.
However, when she saw the faint chill in Huo Wu's eyes, her heart tightened inexplicably.
