Being Remembered

After Gu Yue left, she realized Tang Wulin and the others hadn't followed her, and she couldn't help but frown.

She felt that after just one night, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan had all changed! No, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan had always had a favorable impression of the Sun-Moon Twins since enrollment, but what was going on with Tang Wulin?

In the past, he definitely would have chased after her by now!

Gu Yue couldn't figure it out.

She stood by the Sea God Island lake, gazing at Sea God Island in the center, her expression grave.

What exactly was the background of the Sun-Moon Twins?

"Staring blankly here all by yourself, what's the matter?" Just as Gu Yue was furrowing her brows in thought, a voice came from beside her. The voice was exceptionally pleasant. Gu Yue turned to look and saw the silver-haired Na'er walking over slowly.

Her hair fluttered in the wind, and she watched Gu Yue with a smile on her face.

"You're actually smiling at me?"

Seeing Na'er approach with a smile, Gu Yue couldn't help but retort.

"We are one and the same! If I even hate myself, what meaning is there in living?" Na'er stood beside Gu Yue, looked at her, and asked softly, "Who is making you look so gloomy? Tang Wulin, or the Sun-Moon Twins?"

"Both, I suppose." Gu Yue sighed.

"You never cared about humans before, did you? To think you'd be gloomy over human affairs," Na'er looked at Gu Yue and asked with a smile.

Gu Yue said, "I have a feeling that the siblings Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue know my origins!"

Na'er shook her head without hesitation: "That's impossible! Our existence has been unknown even to the strongest humans for tens of thousands of years, let alone them."

"You are in the Inner Court, close to the source; you can help us investigate," Gu Yue looked at Na'er and stated her request.

Na'er shook her head instead and said, "No! I won't help you, at least not now!"

Hearing Na'er's words, Gu Yue wasn't anxious; she gave a soft laugh: "I forgot, you are on the side of the humans! However, I will definitely win. Because I believe that Tang Wulin will choose me."

"It doesn't matter, it's still early; there's no rush for our bet to reach a conclusion," Na'er shook her head, unconcerned.

She had already sensed the slight lack of confidence in Gu Yue's heart when she said those words.

She didn't seem to have been this insecure before.

Had something happened during this period?

Na'er didn't know, and she didn't care.

Just then, Gu Yue's soul guidance personal terminal rang. She picked it up and saw a message from Tang Wulin and Xie Xie asking where she was.

Seeing the message from Tang Wulin and the others, Na'er was somewhat surprised: "So you guys had a fight? Because of the Sun-Moon Twins?"

Gu Yue put away her soul guidance personal terminal, turned back, and said: "None of your business! I'm heading back."

Watching Gu Yue walk away, Na'er's curiosity about the twins soared. "To be able to take Yun Ming as a master and even get the better of Gu Yue, who exactly are you two?"

Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue were unaware that they were being watched by Na'er. Her curiosity was not malicious, and neither the light of the sun nor the moon had given any warning of danger.

Regarding Yun Qianzhao teaching Xu Xiaoyan cultivation, Yun Ming, after speaking with Elder Jin, naturally gave his permission and even directly approved for Xu Xiaoyan to enter and leave Sea God Island at will! One must know that even as disciples of Zhuo Shi, they were not allowed to enter the Inner Court easily without a guide.

Upon learning this news, Xie Xie looked even more depressed: "How come you're allowed on Sea God Island, but I'm not?"

"That's not the same!"

Xu Xiaoyan looked at Xie Xie and huffed: "I have real business with Uncle-Master Qianzhao! What about you? What real business do you have with Uncle-Master Qianyue?"

"I..."

Xie Xie was speechless and muttered: "I have real business too!"

Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Xie Xie and happily packed her things to run off to Sea God Island.

At this moment, Yun Qianzhao was sparring with Qiangu Zhangting.

Although Qiangu Zhangting had gradually reduced his activities at Shrek Academy over the past year or two, he still occasionally visited. Even if it was just for show, Shrek Academy did not stop him.

However, Qiangu Zhangting's cultivation was only at the three-ring level, so he was no match for Yun Qianzhao.

When Xu Xiaoyan arrived, they had just finished a bout. Qiangu Zhangting looked at Yun Qianzhao with a sullen expression and said, "I really don't understand! We grew up together, so how did your cultivation shoot up so fast!"

"Read more books, dream less," Yun Qianzhao looked at Qiangu Zhangting and dropped this line.

Qiangu Zhangting: "..."

"Uncle-Master Qianzhao!" Xu Xiaoyan waved at Yun Qianzhao from the side, looking excited.

Qiangu Zhangting glanced at Xu Xiaoyan and said, "It seems someone is looking for you, brother. I'll go find Qianyue then. Farewell!"

Yun Qianzhao gave Qiangu Zhangting a cold glance and said, "Don't call me brother, you're the one who's my brother!"

"Hehe, I'm off!"

Qiangu Zhangting chuckled and slipped away in a flash.

Yun Qianzhao remained silent. If it weren't for the Spirit Pagoda backing Qiangu Zhangting, how could he possibly tolerate this guy acting like this in front of him!

Seeing Yun Qianzhao looking exhausted, Xu Xiaoyan quickly took out a water bottle and said solicitously: "Uncle-Master Qianzhao, are you tired? I have water here, let's rest for a moment!"

Yun Qianzhao took the water bottle but didn't drink.

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her eyes and asked curiously: "Uncle-Master Qianzhao, who was that person just now? I heard him call you brother, are you relatives?"

Yun Qianzhao shook his head and said, "That is the grandson of the Spirit Pagoda master, Qiangu Zhangting."

"He is Qiangu Zhangting?"

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan speak the name of Qiangu Zhangting, she glanced in surprise toward the direction in which he had departed.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's intense reaction, Yun Qianzhao frowned and asked, "What? Are you interested in him? If so, I could help bridge the gap between you two."

If that were the case, it might even stop Qiangu Zhangting from bothering Yun Qianyue any further.

But after hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no! I absolutely have no thoughts toward him! Really, Uncle-Master Qianzhao, you have to believe me!"

She denied it so vehemently, terrified that Yun Qianzhao might think she harbored any feelings for Qiangu Zhangting.

Yun Qianzhao could see through Xu Xiaoyan's thoughts; he rubbed his temples and handed the water glass back to her: "We don't have much time, so prepare yourself."

"Prepare for what?" Xu Xiaoyan was stunned, looking at him blankly.

"To fight me!"

Yun Qianzhao looked at Xu Xiaoyan and said calmly: "Only the insights gained through battle are the most profound! Knowledge gained from books is always superficial; no matter how many times a technique is explained, it is never as good as practicing it once."

Xu Xiaoyan was dumbfounded; she had never considered that she would have to cross swords with Yun Qianzhao right off the bat!

How could she possibly be a match for Yun Qianzhao!
