Oh, come on, why so many rules?

At this very moment, Qin Yu was waiting at the entrance of the Starfall Pavilion.

I just met Mu Qingluan; that girl took the initiative to inform Venerable Feng, so it should be soon...

Suddenly, the space in front of Qin Yu rippled like water, and an entrance slowly opened.

The next second, a strong gust of wind swept in, and with it came a man dressed in a green robe.

The man appeared to be in his prime, with long, silver-white hair, a handsome face, and an air of nonchalant elegance.

(The anime character is used; isn't Feng Shi Niang really cool?)

You must be Qin Yu!

"Uh, it's me, senior..."

Upon meeting, Venerable Feng grabbed Qin Yu's shoulder, as if he had been waiting for Qin Yu with bated breath.

The old man had considerable strength, but it was only because he was excited. After Qin Yu patted him a few times, Venerable Feng quickly withdrew his hand.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I got a little excited."

Venerable Feng led Qin Yu into the Starfall Pavilion, constantly scrutinizing the young man along the way.

Eight-Star Dou Zong, and also Seventh-Rank High-Level Alchemist of the Pill Tower, it's not impossible for him to surpass Yao Chen back then if he continues to grow.

"Young friend, I'm sure you know why I've summoned you here, so I won't beat around the bush."

The two arrived at a quiet room, Venerable Feng cut to the chase, directly asking the question that had been on his mind for the most time:

Where is Yao Chen?

Qin Yu gave the same answer as before, and Feng Xian fell into deep thought after hearing it.

He had heard of the Jia Nan Academy.

Since Yao Chen had appeared there, one possibility cannot be ruled out.

He's taken on another apprentice.

Otherwise, why would Yao Chen go to the Jia Nan Academy for no reason? To watch those young people cultivate and try to recapture the feeling of his youth?

"If you really do take on a new apprentice, I'd really like to meet him."

Feng Xian muttered something softly.

As a longtime friend, Feng Xian is definitely one of the people who understands Yao Chen the most.

Even after being betrayed by Han Feng, he still managed to persuade Yao Chen to set aside his resentment and take him as a disciple...

That certainly piques my curiosity.

"Um... do you know anything else? Would you mind telling me more?"

Seeing Feng Xian's expectant look, Qin Yu felt a pang of pity and told him about what had happened.

Yao Chen, look what you've done!

It's not just women, men are waiting for you this long too!

Xuan Kongzi: This is unfair! I protest! Why didn't you tell me these things?!

Qin Yu: You didn't ask either?

Upon hearing the news that Yao Chen had indeed accepted a new disciple, Feng Xian couldn't help but sigh.

This made him even more curious.

Is there any way for me to instantly teleport to Yao Chen and his newly accepted disciple?

I really want to see him!

Oh? Right...

Suddenly, Feng Xian turned his gaze to Qin Yu again, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Senior, you..."

Qin Yu shuddered. Why did Venerable Feng's smile look so eerie?

"Hehe, young friend, please stay a few more days at my Starfall Pavilion. I still have many things I'd like to ask you."

Feng Xian rubbed his hands together, pursed his lips, and looked at Qin Yu as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

Good heavens, Venerable Feng, isn't this a bit too out of character?

Feng Xian: Go away, why are there so many rules?

Besides, I'm doing this to get more information about Yao Chen. Isn't that in line with my character?

In the end, Qin Yu couldn't resist Feng Xian's "enthusiasm" and stayed at the Starfall Pavilion for the time being.

Staying temporarily at the Starfall Pavilion wasn't something Qin Yu found difficult to accept.

After settling in here, besides Feng Xian, Mu Qingluan also frequently visited him.

"Miss Mu Qingluan, what brings you here? Please speak frankly."

On her previous visits, she only exchanged a few perfunctory pleasantries. Qin Yu could tell that she hadn't come for this reason, but he was too embarrassed to say so directly.

So this time, Qin Yu pointed it out directly.

"Oh, you still figured it out. Well then, I'll just say it directly."

Mu Qingluan stuck out her tongue a little shyly, then looked at Qin Yu with expectant eyes:

"Hasn't Master been asking you about that Venerable Yao a lot these past few days? How exactly did he ask?"

Looking at Mu Qingluan's appearance, Qin Yu immediately recalled Feng Xian's previous demeanor.

Putting these two faces side by side, hmm, the resemblance is 90%; they're truly master and disciple.

When Feng Xian inquired about Yao Chen, Mu Qingluan gossiped about Feng Xian.

"What else can you ask? Just ask normally."

"Hmm... impossible."

Mu Qingluan shook her head at Qin Yu's vague answer, not believing a single word of it.

The mere mention of Qin Yu's arrival was enough to make the master disregard his composed image; how could he possibly remain normal after receiving confirmation?

"Master definitely has a hidden side, Mr. Qin, please, please tell me!"

There was nothing else in Mu Qingluan's eyes but the excitement of digging out juicy information about her master.

"Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"

Provoked in this way, Qin Yu's heart couldn't help but become restless.

He is now perfectly capable of standing in the middle and connecting both sides!

"Oh, why so many rules? What's wrong with this? We're just exchanging ideas privately and satisfying our curiosity!"

Well, you two, master and apprentice, are definitely tied together! Don't let yourselves go out and cause trouble for others!

"Then... tell me a little?"

Since Mu Qingluan had said so, Qin Yu really couldn't hold back any longer.

"Okay! Just say a little bit!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, then simultaneously exchanged knowing smiles.

Feng Xian: I suddenly have a bad feeling, as if two pairs of malicious eyes are watching me from the shadows.

"Xiao Yan..."

However, Feng Xian couldn't worry about those two pairs of eyes watching from the shadows for the time being; he needed to have his men keep a close eye on the name Xiao Yan.

According to Qin Yu, he had met Xiao Yan several years ago.

With Yao Chen's abilities, Xiao Yan could definitely grow a lot in a few years. Perhaps, he and his master would arrive in Central Plains soon?

However, if the two come from the Northwestern Continent, Starfall Pavilion, located in the Southern Region of Central Plains, may not be able to receive the information immediately.

"By the way, the Four Pavilions Assembly in a while is hosted by the Myriad Sword Pavilion in the Eastern Region. You can go and check it out."

Of the Four Pavilions, the Starfall Pavilion is in the south, the Wind Lightning Pavilion is in the north, the Yellow Springs Pavilion is in the west, and the Myriad Sword Pavilion is in the east.

Although located in the Eastern Region of the Central Plains, the exact location of the Myriad Sword Pavilion is not too far from the Northern Region.

At that time, you can take the opportunity of attending the Four Pavilions Assembly to travel around the Northern Region of the Central Plains.

What if we happen to run into it?
