Accepting Reality (X), Doubting Reality (√)

Not long afterward.

Although Fu Mengxue had already been successfully welcomed back to the towering [Jade Night Snow Mountain] by Yuan Yujun and the others.

Things ultimately did not develop in the direction Yan Xiujin had hoped for; there was no sign of the matter being swiftly resolved.

Thus, despite being ravenously hungry.

Yan Xiujin could only stand there like background scenery, silently watching alongside her Senior Sisters as their Master was forced to endure a scolding...

At this moment.

Unlike before, when they had drawn countless eyes.

They were in an exceptionally quiet side hall.

Aside from Yuan Yujun and Fu Mengxue.

Only several of Yuan Yujun's fine disciples were present.

However.

Though it was merely a side hall, it was still a building capable of holding several hundred people.

With only a handful of people present, the entire side hall looked rather deserted.

Whenever Fu Mengxue spoke, waves of echoes would arise throughout the hall. Now, after reprimanding Yuan Yujun to her face a few times and making her look like an elementary school student caught and sent to the office.

Considering that, no matter what, the other party had successfully unearthed an unparalleled genius like Pei Yiman for the sect, Fu Mengxue ultimately did not ruthlessly give her a vicious beating on the backside.

"So, back then, was it actually fate that pushed you into taking Yi as your disciple?"

After learning how Yuan Yujun had taken Pei Yiman as her disciple, Fu Mengxue directly asked the question above.

"...Yes."

Though she very much wanted to say it had been her incomparably exquisite divination skills that had enabled her to successfully take Pei Yi as her disciple.

Before Fu Mengxue.

Yuan Yujun still did not quite dare to boast, and could only nod while telling the truth.
