My Name Is Lu Yaoyao, Greetings Senior Brother Zhou

Chapter 2: My Name Is Lu Yaoyao, Greetings, Old... Senior Brother Zhou

Of the Thirteen Peaks of the Taiqing Sect, the main peak was naturally Divine Peak, where the Sect Leader, Cao Zhengyang, resided.

This peak soared into the clouds, majestic and imposing, with cascading waterfalls and flowing springs, a riot of five-colored light swirling around it, utterly transcendent and otherworldly.

Palaces and towers were built upon it, their beams carved and rafters painted in a riot of color. Countless immortal birds and spirit fowl danced and sang among them.

At this moment, before a grand hall, a man and a woman stood facing each other.

The man had sword-like brows and starry eyes, his posture straight and tall. Even just standing there, he resembled a sword about to be drawn from its sheath.

His sharpness was unstoppable!

This was the Chief Eldest Brother of Divine Peak—Li Daoxuan!

And beside him stood a girl with an oval face, dressed in a yellow skirt. Her skin was like congealed fat, her teeth white and eyes bright, her slender figure tall. Her hair, black as a waterfall, cascaded down to her willow-thin waist.

Her appearance was extremely fresh and pure. A deerskin pouch and a string of golden bells hung at her waist, making her look graceful, lively, and adorable.

This was the Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang's newly accepted sixth disciple—Lu Yaoyao.

Such a beautiful Little Junior Sister made even Li Daoxuan, standing beside her, sneak several extra glances. In his heart, he felt an indescribable gratitude toward his master.

After all these years, you finally did something human.

Everyone else had senior and junior sisters, but you kept taking on junior brothers for me, and not a single one was easy to deal with.

Turns out you were quietly saving up a big one.

I like it!

"Junior Sister, don't be nervous. They're all our own martial uncles. You'll get familiar with them soon enough!"

Seeing Lu Yaoyao constantly looking toward the horizon, her eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but comfort her softly.

To be the one to welcome this little junior sister, the five of them had fought fiercely. In the end, he had won by a narrow margin with superior skill.

"Just to eliminate me first, you all teamed up to ambush me. Do you think I don't know what you're all like?"

Li Daoxuan sneered inwardly.

Now, facing Li Daoxuan's reassurance, Lu Yaoyao turned her head and smiled slightly.

That smile was fresh and pure, like the first breeze of morning in a mountain valley, gently brushing across the heart.

It sent ripples through Li Daoxuan's heart, as if he had returned to those green and ignorant youthful days, the first time his heart raced for someone.

It stunned him completely.

Lu Yaoyao asked, "Big Senior Brother, will all the martial uncles be coming from over there later?"

Snapping back to reality, Li Daoxuan's cheeks flushed slightly. He quickly nodded. "That's right. They should be here soon. Don't worry, with your big brother by your side, I'll introduce them to you."

"Oh, then, Senior Brother, do you know Zhou Qing?" Lu Yaoyao suddenly asked.

Li Daoxuan was startled, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Junior Sister actually knows Junior Brother Zhou Qing?"

Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Lu Yaoyao's eyes immediately lit up, and she even seemed a little excited.

"I, I only heard about him from others. So he's already at the Taiqing Sect by now." Lu Yaoyao murmured softly to herself.

Li Daoxuan seemed to understand something and couldn't help but smile.

Well, a few years ago, he and his Third Senior Brother, Yan Xiaohu, had been caught peeping on several old crone-level Grand Elders while they bathed. It was known to everyone, and they had been the butt of jokes for ages.

Although everyone knew the Grand Elders had done it on purpose—after all, at their age, what could they not detect?

Still, being peeped on by two hot-blooded youths was a kind of proof that their charms remained, wasn't it?

Li Daoxuan had no choice but to enlighten this newly initiated junior sister. "Zhou Qing is a disciple of Martial Uncle Mo Xingjian of Little Spirit Peak. He's the fourth child. Above him, he has two senior brothers and one senior sister. His personal cultivation talent is decent. I've heard he's already at the Qi Condensation Seventh Layer..."

Lu Yaoyao listened very attentively, her eyes occasionally curving into crescent moons.

"Then, Big Senior Brother, what do you think of Zhou Qing as a person?"

After Li Daoxuan finished his introduction, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but ask.

Li Daoxuan grew more and more suspicious. Was this little junior sister's interest in Junior Brother Zhou Qing a bit too strong?

It must be that guy's notorious reputation that piqued her curiosity. After all, the two had never even met.

Then, after a moment of thought, he spoke. "Hard to say. I haven't had much contact with him either. All told, we've met less than three times. But I did hear a piece of news this morning. They say he was caught peeping on a group of female disciples bathing last night..."

Li Daoxuan shared the latest gossip he'd heard with her.

Lu Yaoyao's eyes went wide, filled with disbelief. Then, to his surprise, she showed a look of admiration.

"He actually did something like that? I never would have guessed. But then again, at his age, full of hot blood, it's understandable."

Even as she said this, Lu Yaoyao looked very excited, as if she had discovered some piece of gossip she hadn't known before.

Seeing that his little junior sister was interested in this topic, Li Daoxuan continued. "I heard he was caught and taken to the Discipline Hall last night. I don't know if he's out yet. Actually, this incident has its roots. A few years ago, he and his senior brother peeped at... someone's coming. I'll tell you the details when we have free time."

Li Daoxuan suddenly spotted something and quickly straightened up.

Lu Yaoyao had been full of curiosity, but now, with no choice, she could only wait to investigate privately.

In the distant sky, several figures were flying toward them on swords. The leading old man had white hair and sat cross-legged on a golden gourd, exuding an imposing aura without even trying.

Li Daoxuan quickly whispered, "That's Senior Uncle Gao Xuan from Golden Sun Peak arriving, and the others are his Personal Disciples—from left to right, Kong Yu, Du Kui, and Luo Xue..."

Time passed bit by bit. Lu Yaoyao was frowning at the moment, constantly memorizing the uncles and senior brothers and sisters she had just received, so she wouldn't make a mistake and cause awkwardness next time they met.

Meanwhile, Li Daoxuan kept sorting through the gifts he'd collected, sighing that times had truly changed.

It hadn't been that many years, yet the gifts were getting more and more valuable. Thinking back to when he first became a disciple, compared to this, it was downright shabby.

"Little Junior Sister, watch out—someone from Little Spirit Peak is coming!"

Just then, Li Daoxuan hurriedly reminded her.

Lu Yaoyao's heart stirred, and she immediately looked toward the horizon.

In the distance, a dazzling Eight Trigrams Plate was flying over at great speed, with three people standing on it.

The middle-aged man at the front had his robes fluttering and long hair dancing in the wind, looking sacred and imposing.

Standing beside him were two youths holding gift boxes.

The young man on the left had a round face and small eyes, with a sly look, craning his neck to curiously size her up.

The young man on the right... so tender, so cute!

Li Daoxuan quickly said, "That's Martial Uncle Mo from Little Spirit Peak. On the left is his third disciple, Yan Xiaohu. And the one on the right... he actually came out of the Discipline Hall. Little Junior Sister, that's Zhou Qing."

Just as Li Daoxuan finished his low-voiced introduction, the three landed before them.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle Mo!" Li Daoxuan promptly bowed.

Mo Xingjian nodded slightly and immediately understood that this was the new sixth disciple the Sect Leader had taken on... no, it should be Little Six now.

Not bad, not bad—she was very pleasing to the eye.

Just as he was about to praise her, he saw her standing there in a daze.

Following her gaze, he looked puzzled.

At that moment, Zhou Qing was also admiring Lu Yaoyao with appreciation.

He hadn't expected the new disciple taken in by the Sect Leader to be so beautiful—truly lovely.

The moment he saw her, his heart inexplicably trembled.

Wait—

Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to realize something and instinctively turned to look behind him.

No one was there.

Was she staring at me?

Was I really that handsome?

This damn charm—could this girl have fallen for me at first sight?

Zhou Qing suddenly felt a secret thrill.

Usually, it was a guy falling for a girl at first sight—how had it gotten reversed with me?

Still, this feeling was pretty nice!

Yan Xiaohu blinked his swollen little eyes, first looking at the fidgeting Little Junior Brother, then at Lu Yaoyao staring with undisguised intensity, and felt his worldview take a serious hit.

No way, wasn't this too cliché?

Here I am, standing tall—handsome, suave, and imposing—and you don't even glance my way?

"Little Junior Sister—"

Sensing the sudden silence in the atmosphere, Li Daoxuan quickly tugged lightly at Lu Yaoyao.

Snapping back to reality, Lu Yaoyao panicked a little and hurriedly bowed.

"Disciple Lu Yaoyao greets Martial Uncle Mo, Senior Brother Yan, and Senior... Zhou!"

So her name was Lu Yaoyao.

Such a cute name.

Mo Xingjian nodded slightly, then cleared his throat as a reminder, and Zhou Qing and the other quickly presented their gifts.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle!" Lu Yaoyao expressed her gratitude again.

Li Daoxuan said, "Reporting to Martial Uncle, everyone else has arrived. Please, come inside!"

Mo Xingjian then led the two inside.

Yan Xiaohu lightly bumped Zhou Qing, signaling him to look behind.

Zhou Qing turned and once again met Lu Yaoyao's complicated gaze, letting out a sigh.

"This charm of mine, there's just no place to put it!"

Yan Xiaohu kicked him in the backside and said, "Keep showing off, but your senior brother has to give you a friendly warning—beauty is a disaster. This Little Junior Sister is so pure and pretty, plenty of people will be chasing her. With your Qi Condensation Seventh Layer cultivation, you really don't measure up."

Zhou Qing scoffed, but he knew Third Senior Brother was telling the truth. "Got it, I'm not stupid!"

Then, the three stepped into the great hall.

Unexpectedly, Little Spirit Peak was the last to arrive. Only after entering did they discover that the peak masters were already seated above, chatting animatedly with one another.

Below, the core disciples stood off to one side, murmuring among themselves.

Watching his master ascend with cheerful greetings, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu bowed to the various uncle masters before joining the crowd, exchanging smiles and nods.

Seeing Third Senior Brother meet up with a friend to chat, Zhou Qing subtly edged backward bit by bit until he reached a corner, letting out a light sigh.

Generally speaking, the more thrilling and tense a crowded occasion, the longer one went unnoticed by others, and the greater the chance of earning Ignorance Points.

Though this wasn't exactly thrilling, it was still solemn. As long as I hid deep enough and reduced my presence, there should be some, right?

But either way, it would take some time.

"Junior Brother Zhou, I heard you pulled off quite a feat last night. While it's only natural for a man to act on his impulses, as core disciples, we still need to mind our image."

Just as Zhou Qing leaned against a pillar in the corner, a man walked over with a stern expression.

Zhou Qing cursed "annoying" inwardly, too lazy to explain, and simply said, "Senior Brother Liu's lesson is well taken."

The man addressed as Senior Brother Liu was about to lecture further when Zhou Qing immediately looked around and said, "Ah, Senior Brother Liu, you must be busy. I need to go find my Third Senior Brother."

With that, he quickly left.

"A dog catching mice—meddling in others' affairs. Even my own senior brother hasn't scolded me. Who do you people from Cloud Dream Peak think you are? You're way too nosy!"

Zhou Qing grumbled to himself, finding another spot to settle down.

No sooner had he settled than two senior sisters ahead kept glancing back at him, their eyes full of contempt as they whispered to each other.

Zhou Qing was speechless.

These core disciples had cultivation levels too high; the LV1 talent skill [Reduce Presence] was useless against them.

Zhou Qing looked around again and moved to another spot.

After repeatedly finding places where he could easily be overlooked, he finally went unnoticed.

Not long after, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang emerged, and everyone bowed in salute.

[Ignorance Points +1]

Almost simultaneously, that familiar voice rang out in Zhou Qing's mind, lifting his spirits immediately.

There was hope!
