Yun Yun Was Jealous

"What's the deal with this Little Fairy Doctor?"

What Yun Yun truly cared about was the girl Wu Changqing had brought back.

"When you said you had something to do, you meant going out and bringing back a girl?"

"She looks a little older than Yanran, and she's quite pretty too. She seems so delicate and frail... Could it be that Senior Sword Spirit likes girls like that?"

She stared at Wu Changqing, her gaze somewhat fierce.

Wu Changqing caught a whiff of jealousy and could not help teasing her. "What, are you jealous?"

"M-Me? How could I possibly be jealous?" Yun Yun's face immediately reddened, yet she stubbornly refused to admit it.

How could she possibly be jealous?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Seeing her like this, Wu Changqing found it rather amusing.

"Really? You're truly not jealous?"

"No!"

"Since you aren't jealous, then there's no need for me to explain so much." Wu Changqing deliberately relaxed his tone.

But Yun Yun immediately grew anxious. "No! You... you have to explain!"

She really wanted to know Little Fairy Doctor's identity.

"Didn't you say you weren't jealous? Then why do I need to explain so much?"

"I-I'm ordering you to explain in my capacity as the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. I have an obligation to know the identity of every person in the sect." Yun Yun finally found a legitimate reason.

"If you don't explain it clearly... I-I'll drive her out!"

She had even learned how to make threats.

"If you drive her away, then I'll leave too."

"Y-You..." Yun Yun was nearly driven mad with anger.

This guy was doing it on purpose. He was definitely doing it on purpose!

"Ahem, I was just teasing you."

Seeing that things were starting to go badly, Wu Changqing finally began explaining seriously.

"Xian'er is from a place near the Magical Beast Mountain Range called Green Mountain Town. I happened to run into her, and then, because of some accidents, she ended up being hunted down in Green Mountain Town and ran into all sorts of trouble."

"Besides, she possesses a special constitution, and her talent and potential are both quite good. So I accepted her as my disciple and brought her back with me."

"Really?" Yun Yun did not quite believe him.

Mainly because Wu Changqing did not look serious at all.

She had every reason to suspect that Wu Changqing was still fooling her.

"What are you saying? I'm your senior. Is this how little respect you have for your senior?"

"We only made one trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and after coming back, I found that you've become increasingly disrespectful toward me!" Wu Changqing's expression immediately turned stern.

But Yun Yun had seen through this trick long ago and refused to fall for it.

"So, she really is a disciple you took in, Senior?" Yun Yun looked at him and asked very seriously.

"Yes. Did you think I brought her back because I was lusting after her body?" Wu Changqing said.

"No. As long as she's your disciple, that's fine." Yun Yun guiltily turned her face away.

Because she truly had thought Wu Changqing might have had other intentions in bringing Little Fairy Doctor back.

After all, Little Fairy Doctor was so beautiful.

"Oh, right. Has your injury healed?"

"It healed a long time ago. How many days has it been already?"

"Alright, then I'll head back first. After all, I'm a senior now. If I stay in the Sect Leader's room all the time, people will become suspicious."

Wu Changqing tossed out one last tease, then hurried off before Yun Yun could get angry.

"Who would dare suspect anything..."

Yun Yun muttered softly.

She silently placed a hand over where her wound had been, recalling what had happened in the cave that day.

While treating her injuries, Wu Changqing had already seen more than half of her body.

She had clearly told herself not to care about it.

Yet whenever she occasionally remembered it, her cheeks would still burn, and her heart would fill with shyness.

"Hmph, stupid Senior!"

When Wu Changqing returned to the courtyard, Little Fairy Doctor had already tidied up both rooms.

Her room was right next to Wu Changqing's.

The disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect had also brought over bedding and some daily necessities.

After cleaning up her room, Little Fairy Doctor had quietly sat inside without wandering around.

Only when she saw Wu Changqing return did she hurriedly stand and come out.

"Teacher, you're back."

She was now officially Wu Changqing's disciple, so naturally she had to change how she addressed him.

"Mhm. You can put all your things away. From now on, we'll basically be staying here." Wu Changqing said.

"Alright." Little Fairy Doctor did not seem to be in a very good mood.

"What's wrong? You don't seem very happy."

Little Fairy Doctor shook her head. "Nothing. I'm just not used to coming to a new place yet."

Although she had often dealt with other people back in Green Mountain Town, she had lived there for so long, after all.

Now that she had come to a completely unfamiliar place, and such a large sect at that, she could not help feeling nervous and uncomfortable.

The only person she could rely on was Wu Changqing.

"Don't worry. I'll always be by your side. You'll gradually get used to it," Wu Changqing comforted her.

"Besides, don't you like all kinds of medicinal herbs? The Misty Cloud Sect has a dedicated Alchemy Pavilion, as well as quite a few alchemists. Once you're familiar with the place, you can go exchange experience with those alchemists."

At the mention of alchemists, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes brightened considerably.

"Mhm, mhm!"

Life needed some interests and pursuits to be more meaningful.

Thus, Wu Changqing openly remained in the Misty Cloud Sect under a new identity.

Little Fairy Doctor also successfully stayed behind. Since she was Wu Changqing's disciple, her treatment was even better than that of ordinary sect disciples.

After all, Wu Changqing was a Dou Emperor. Setting aside his identity as an elder, his cultivation alone was enough to earn the respect of everyone in the Misty Cloud Sect.

To put it more broadly, a Dou Emperor would receive excellent treatment anywhere—even if he did not come to the Misty Cloud Sect, he could go to the Jia Ma Imperial Family, the Alchemist Association, or any other place.

Now that Wu Changqing had joined the Misty Cloud Sect, it was actually the Misty Cloud Sect that should have felt honored.

And this news soon spread throughout the Jia Ma Holy Capital.

Jia Ma Imperial Family.

"Great-Grandfather, the Misty Cloud Sect recently took in a Dou Emperor expert as an elder," Yaoye said.

"A Dou Emperor expert? Where else in the Jia Ma Empire is there a Dou Emperor expert?" Jia Xing Tian frowned.

The Misty Cloud Sect's power had already grown extremely formidable.

And now it had gained another Dou Emperor... Jia Xing Tian did not even dare imagine how powerful the Misty Cloud Sect would become!

"I heard that the new elder is called Wu Changqing. He used to be a reclusive expert, but for some unknown reason, he voluntarily joined the Misty Cloud Sect," Yaoye said.

"Wu Changqing... a reclusive expert. Is our Jia Ma Imperial Family not attractive enough? Why did he go to the Misty Cloud Sect instead of coming here?" Even Jia Xing Tian could not help feeling somewhat frustrated.

After all, the Misty Cloud Sect gaining another Dou Emperor would have a huge impact on the situation.

It might even affect the future state of the Jia Ma Empire!

"Ye'er, make preparations. We need to personally visit the Misty Cloud Sect," Jia Xing Tian said.

"Yes, Great-Grandfather."
