Nine Heavens Peak

"We were able to discover it early thanks to Feng Wuhen's inner voice, but what exactly was going on with his inner voice? And how did he know these things?"

Qu Lanxin raised her doubts. Nothing like this had ever been heard of before; this was clearly the first time anyone had been able to hear another person's thoughts.

Besides the matter of hearing thoughts, the more important question was how Feng Wuhen, an ordinary person who had only just entered the immortal sect, knew such confidential matters.

Chu Moqing recalled Feng Wuhen's behavior in the water screen. "Come to think of it, when Wuhen was arguing with Meng Hongying, he said, 'No wonder your fellow disciples all hate you.'

At the time, Meng Hongying had never revealed her identity. How did Wuhen know she had junior and senior fellow disciples? So he should be able to see the past, as well as the future."

Chu Moqing's speculation was bold, but upon careful consideration, it made perfect sense.

Their eldest senior brother, Yan Ke, who was also the master of the Enforcement Hall, hit the nail on the head. "Being able to hear Feng Wuhen's thoughts is our opportunity, while Feng Wuhen being able to see other people's past and future is his opportunity.

We do not know where such opportunities come from, and even if we tried to investigate, we likely would not find anything. Since that is the case, we should act as though we know nothing and see whether we can still hear Feng Wuhen's thoughts later.

But whether we can hear them again or not, we must thank him for what happened this time.

He is a good child. He has only just entered the sect and has not yet enjoyed any benefits, yet when he learned that we were in danger, he still wanted to save us. He is kind-hearted, so we must protect him well in the future."

"Of course! Since he has entered Mount Grand Mystery, he is one of Mount Grand Mystery. Even without the matter of his inner voice, we would still protect him!"

Xu Kuang spoke with absolute certainty. In his view, everyone on Qiankun Continent knew that Mount Grand Mystery protected its own. Even if an ordinary disciple was bullied, they would go knocking on doors for them, much less Feng Wuhen, the personal disciple of their junior brother.

The other peak masters nodded in agreement with Xu Kuang. At this point, Chu Moqing reminded them, "Besides that, if we can still hear Wuhen's thoughts later, we need to observe exactly who can hear them. I have a feeling it is not only us.

Just now, I noticed that those disciples who had only recently entered the sect could hear them as well. Perhaps our entire sect can hear Wuhen's thoughts!"

Everyone remembered his words. Once everything had been discussed, Chu Moqing and the others took their leave. Qin Che looked at the empty grand hall, and the thought that it would one day be stained red with the blood of his fellow disciples filled him with intense killing intent and hatred for himself.

If he had not saved the wrong person, the current situation would never have happened. His daughter was trapped in a soul artifact, his son was also close to losing his life, and there was his wife...

Qin Che did not know how to tell Ruan Siyao about this, but such an important matter was something she needed to know, whether as the sect leader's wife or as Qin Xiaoran and Qin Leyan's mother.

A flash of green light appeared, and Qin Che vanished from the grand hall.

After Chu Moqing left, he looked at his newly accepted young disciple. Feng Wuhen looked back at him as well.

Feng Wuhen jogged over and took Chu Moqing's hand of his own accord. "Master, Senior Brother Shen invited me to go to his place this afternoon to collect a gift. May I go?"

Chu Moqing lowered his head and looked into his expectant eyes. Such a gaze was impossible to refuse, and he had never intended to refuse in the first place.

"Of course you may. I will take you there this afternoon."

Feng Wuhen was naturally willing to have him take him there. It would be a perfect chance to let Chu Moqing see Qin Leyan's true face, though he felt embarrassed to trouble his master so soon after becoming his disciple.

"I can go by myself. I would not dare trouble Master."

"You have not begun cultivating yet. From our Nine Heavens Peak to the main peak, if you walk alone, you likely will not arrive until dark. I should take you! I also heard that Xiaoran was injured. As his martial uncle, I should go see him.

"So do not worry about disturbing me. Besides cultivating, your master does not usually do anything else. I have plenty of free time.

"And if you run into any trouble, remember to come find your master. I will stand up for you. Never swallow your anger in silence. A disciple of mine, Chu Moqing, must not be bullied by others."

Feng Wuhen thought his master looked incredibly cool when he said he would stand up for him.

Master was already so handsome! He became even more handsome when he said he was willing to stand up for me! I must work hard to change Mount Grand Mystery's tragedy and not let my master become all alone in the future, living in the pain of watching the sect be destroyed.

So this afternoon, I must expose that demoness's true face!

Chu Moqing heard Feng Wuhen's thoughts again. Feng Wuhen calling him handsome made him very happy. Many people had said he was good-looking, but praise from his disciple felt different from that of others. It felt more sincere and made him even happier.

In a very good mood, Chu Moqing summoned his personal sword, Azure Waves. He stepped onto it, then extended a hand to Feng Wuhen. "Get on. We should head back."

Feng Wuhen stepped onto Azure Waves excitedly. It was his first time flying on a sword, and he was thrilled beyond measure.

Afraid that he would not be used to it, Chu Moqing snapped his fingers and placed a barrier around him, preventing the wind outside from affecting him.

After doing all that, Chu Moqing lowered his head and saw Feng Wuhen's excited expression. He recalled that when he had first flown on a sword, he had been just as thrilled as Feng Wuhen.

"Once you reach Foundation Establishment, you can fly on a sword yourself."

Upon hearing that, Feng Wuhen silently resolved to cultivate diligently.

Master and disciple quickly returned to Nine Heavens Peak on their swords. Chu Moqing stepped down first, then reached out to help Feng Wuhen down. Still holding his hand, he led him around Nine Heavens Peak.

Nine Heavens Peak was enormous, but it only had Feng Wuhen and Chu Moqing, master and disciple. Since Chu Moqing had lived there alone before, he had not built any houses. Instead, he had casually cleaved out a cave to use as his dwelling.

Now that Feng Wuhen was here, Chu Moqing repeated the same method, raising his hand and carving out a cave with his sword.

"My dwelling is next door. If there is anything you do not understand in your cultivation, come find me directly. Two spirit veins are buried beneath Nine Heavens Peak, so its spiritual energy is not much worse than that of the main peak.

"Since I do not have any particular preferences, Nine Heavens Peak looks the same now as it did when it came into my hands. That is why it is so bare and not very pretty.

"If you do not like it, you may change Nine Heavens Peak into whatever you like.

"You are my disciple, and Nine Heavens Peak is your home as well. I hope you can live comfortably here."

Hearing those words, Feng Wuhen felt as though his wandering soul had suddenly found a place to belong. He was an orphan. According to Village Chief Uncle, he had appeared in the village after a storm.

The villagers had treated him well, but he knew that place was not his home. Now, he finally had a home.
