Refusing a Disciple, Little Hao and Little Yao

Wu Chu was unaware of how the great war in the Northern Border Xuanzhou had unfolded; he only knew that it had been going on for several years and was still ongoing.

Fuxi, Nuwa, and Qingqiu Li would occasionally travel to the heavens to sense the battles between powerful beings through the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Wu Chu and Houtu, on the other hand, were very down-to-earth, quietly enjoying the various delicacies that Little Moon Spirit made for them with Phoenix Bird meat.

During this time, the Young Kua and Little Yi came by. After eating the phoenix meat, they shamelessly tried to stay on Purple Jade Mountain and refused to leave.

After demonstrating his archery skills to Wu Chu, Little Yi fawned over him and started massaging his legs. This Houtu Lady Wu Chu's eyebrows twitch slightly, as if she wanted to kick this shameless little guy back to his tribe at such a young age.

Little Yi also wanted to massage Houtu's legs, but after being calmly looked at by her for Houtu, Little Yi obediently stepped aside and ran to Wu Chu, saying, "A Chu, why don't you take me as your apprentice?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and tapped him on the forehead. "You cunning little devil! It's not enough that you come to my Purple Jade Mountain to freeload all the time; now you actually want to keep freeloading? Let me tell you, no way!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter when they saw Little Yi clutching his head.

Houtu smiled wryly, wondering how such a simple and honest earth sorceress could have such a mischievous little fellow.

So Houtu summoned the Young Kua, "Take him back to his father and let him discipline him properly, lest he waste his time on useless things."

Somewhat dejected, Little Yi was led out of Purple Jade Mountain by the Young Kua. Wu Chu also used the power of the Guardian Formation to send them to the edge of Purple Jade Mountain.

After leaving Purple Jade Mountain, Little Yi looked at the Young Kua with confusion, "Uncle Kua, why doesn't A Chu take me as his apprentice? I'm so powerful..."

Kua looked at the young boy, who seemed to have picked up some bad habits from who-knows-where, with a hint of exasperation. "We are different from Senior A Chu, after all. We are shamans, and our methods of cultivation are different from Senior A Chu's. Actually, normally, if you said that, the chief wouldn't have let me take you back, but there's no one else here! Your cunning suggestion, which is clearly not aimed at learning skills from Senior A Chu, will definitely anger the chief."

Little Yi scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I, I didn't think that much about it!"

"I can tell, all you want is to eat that bird meat!"

"Uncle Kua, don't blame me, I don't believe you don't want to eat it. I've never eaten such delicious bird meat before! A Chu didn't even tell me what kind of bird it was, he's so stingy! Doesn't he know that if I could catch this kind of bird, I would definitely give him some as a tribute?" Little Yi adjusted the bow on his back and pouted.

The two whispered amongst themselves and fled towards the tribe.

At Purple Jade Mountain, Wu Chu silently picked up his teacup and took a sip.

When Little Yi's suggestion to become his disciple, Wu Chu was genuinely startled. To take the future archer Hou Yi as a disciple—what a huge karmic debt that would be! But he quickly realized that he had already taught him archery, so the karmic debt was already in place. Moreover, his current relationship with the Witch Clan, especially the Houtu Tribe, was so close that he would inevitably be drawn into their Witch Clan in the future.

Of course, even knowing that would be the outcome, if given another chance, he still wouldn't refuse to get to know Miss Houtu.

What wonderful, gentle, and kind young ladies!

Half of his skills were taught to him by this kind young lady!

"I'm so sorry for making this a laughing stock!"

Houtu gave a wry smile, then looked at Wu Chu with some reproach. After all, Wu Chu couldn't shirk responsibility for how Little Yi had become so shameless.

Nuwa laughed and said, "No! I think that little guy is quite interesting!"

The young Nuwa, who hasn't yet learned to be composed, naturally doesn't find a funny little imp annoying; instead, she finds him quite amusing.

It's a pity that this amusing little devil was driven away by Houtu.

Looking at Houtu with a reproachful gaze, Wu Chu rubbed his nose lightly with his index finger, slightly embarrassed. Then, pretending to be clueless, he picked up his wine cup and gestured to Houtu.

On the other side, the Young Kua and Little Yi were playing and laughing as they made their way towards the tribe when they suddenly heard a voice, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! Fellow Daoist, please wait..."

The two turned around and saw two young boys and girls flying towards them.

The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was beautiful and lovely; they were watching them with curiosity.

"May I ask, fellow Daoists, is Purple Jade Mountain in this direction?"

Upon hearing this, Little Yi's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, the Young Kua his hands in greeting and asked, "May I ask where you two fellow Daoists come from, and what brings you to Purple Jade Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and said, "This humble Daoist is Little Hao, and this is my junior sister Little Yao. We are both disciples of an old friend of the Lord of Purple Jade Mountain, and we have come to pay our respects. If you two know the location of Purple Jade Mountain, please tell us. My junior brother and I would be extremely grateful!"

Upon hearing this, the Young Kua breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then asked, "How do you two intend to prove this?"

Upon hearing this, the girl beside her felt annoyed. She frowned slightly and scolded, "Why are you so troublesome? Who are you? Why should we vouch for you? You two just need to take us there, and my senior brother and I will naturally give you a satisfactory reward!"

"Junior sister, please calm down!" Little Hao turned his head and gently scolded, then, seeing the Young Kua frowning, he cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, fellow Daoists. My junior sister is impatient and has asked countless beings along the way, taking hundreds of years to reach this point. She is quite frustrated and hopes you can understand. I have a treasure here..."

As he spoke, he casually took out a low-grade Spirit Treasure, saying, "If you two can tell us the location of Purple Jade Mountain, this Heavenly Profound Saber will be a gift for you."

The Young Kua at the palm-sized knife, shook his head, and said, "Put it away! To be honest, we do know the location of Purple Jade Mountain. Please come with us! But you two had better not harbor any ill intentions, otherwise..."

Faced with the Young Kua threat, the girl Little Yao scoffed, "Otherwise what? With our cultivation levels, if we truly harbored ill intentions, you two little brats would have been captured by us long ago."

"Junior sister..." Little Hao had a headache, and he bowed again, "You two, I'm so sorry!"

The Young Kua's face darkened. Although he was very unhappy, he understood that what the other party said was true. With his cultivation level, he couldn't see through these two people at all.

"You two had better not lie, or you'll know the consequences."

Thinking of the many experts and the leader of Purple Jade Mountain, the Young Kua breathed a sigh of relief and, along with Little Yi and his fellow disciples, flew towards Purple Jade Mountain.
