What Do You Mean, "Just Lucky"?

Xiaozhu Peak lay close to Dazhu Peak.

Su Ru rode her Artifact, carrying Tian Ling'er and Ji Changfeng as they flew through the air.

Before long, they approached a towering mountain that reached into the clouds...

Looking out, Xiaozhu Peak was no smaller in scale than Dazhu Peak. Its facilities were even somewhat more complete.

After all, Xiaozhu Peak had far more disciples than Dazhu Peak.

"Whoosh—"

Su Ru guided her Artifact down onto the mountainside of Xiaozhu Peak.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, several Xiaozhu Peak female disciples patrolling the mountain noticed them.

The instant they saw Su Ru,

delight immediately appeared on their faces.

"Aunt Su? You've come to Xiaozhu Peak?"

After speaking, they noticed the two children behind Su Ru, and surprise flashed through their eyes.

Naturally, they recognized Tian Ling'er.

But the other one...

A male disciple?!

And about the same age as Tian Ling'er?

Could he be...

The Xiaozhu Peak female disciples froze slightly.

Combining what they knew, they immediately guessed a possibility.

Could he be the famous Ji Changfeng?

The Ji Changfeng who reached the Jade Pure First Layer overnight and the Jade Pure Second Layer in half a month?!

Su Ru noticed the gazes of the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples. Before she could speak, the lively Tian Ling'er immediately said:

"Senior Sisters, guess who he is?!"

Tian Ling'er's gaze was full of anticipation.

She was waiting for these Senior Sisters to fail to guess, so she could explain it herself.

Generally speaking, children's thoughts were easy to read.

But all the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples had their attention fixed on Ji Changfeng, so they failed to notice Tian Ling'er's anticipation.

They directly voiced their guess:

"This... could this be the renowned Junior Brother Ji Changfeng?!"

Hearing this, Tian Ling'er pouted.

Ah! They guessed it?

How boring.

Facing the gazes of the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples, Ji Changfeng stepped forward with a faint smile. He showed no trace of stage fright, and his voice was clear as he said:

"Ji Changfeng of Dazhu Peak greets you, Senior Sisters."

Seeing this, the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples hurriedly returned the salute:

"Greetings, Junior Brother Ji."

After that,

they had wanted to take a good look at this peerless genius renowned throughout Qingyun, but with an elder present beside them,

they did not dare stare for long. They quickly said, "Aunt Su, you may go straight up to Jingzhu Pavilion. Master instructed us that when you come to Xiaozhu Peak, there is no need to announce your arrival..."

"Alright." Su Ru nodded gently.

She glanced back at Ji Changfeng and said, "Changfeng, let's go. I'll take you to pay respects to your Aunt Shuiyue."

"Yes, Mistress." Ji Changfeng nodded slightly.

Tian Ling'er needed no further explanation from Su Ru.

After all, she had come to Xiaozhu Peak many times. It could be considered another home to her.

Su Ru led Ji Changfeng and Tian Ling'er onward.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few Xiaozhu Peak female disciples. Without exception, all of them were drawn to Ji Changfeng...

"Eh? A male disciple? Who is he?"

"He's following Aunt Su? Could he be that Ji Changfeng who's famous throughout Qingyun?"

"Really?"

"Whether it's true or not, won't we find out if we go take a look?"

The Xiaozhu Peak female disciples all hurried toward Jingzhu Pavilion.

At this moment,

inside Jingzhu Pavilion, a Daoist nun who looked around thirty stared at Ji Changfeng in astonishment.

She had an oval face, delicate brows and a refined nose, bright almond-shaped eyes, and wore a moon-white Daoist robe. Her figure was graceful and shapely, and she bore herself with exceptional elegance.

"So alike, far too alike!"

Master Shuiyue stared blankly at Ji Changfeng.

Though Ji Changfeng was still young, he wore white robes, his face brimming with youthful spirit, while a faintly sharp Sword Intent flickered in his eyes...

That aura was simply too much like someone.

Hearing this, Su Ru was slightly startled.

"Ahem." She quickly coughed, then said to Ji Changfeng:

"Changfeng, this is your Aunt Shuiyue."

Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. He bowed slightly to Master Shuiyue and said:

"Disciple Ji Changfeng greets Aunt Shuiyue!"

Master Shuiyue came back to her senses.

She gave Ji Changfeng a slightly regretful look. The emotion on her face gradually faded, replaced by a cold and detached expression.

"Mm." Master Shuiyue nodded lightly.

Su Ru said with a smile, "Senior Sister, Changfeng said he wanted to see our Xiaozhu Peak's Moon-Gazing Platform, so I took it upon myself to bring him here..."

"The Moon-Gazing Platform?"

Master Shuiyue nodded thoughtfully and instructed the female disciple beside her:

"Wen Min, take him to see the Moon-Gazing Platform."

"And inform Qi'er as well. Tell her to come to Jingzhu Pavilion."

Hearing this, the female disciple waiting nearby smiled and nodded. "Yes, Master."

She was Wen Min, Xiaozhu Peak's eldest Senior Sister.

She was also the woman Song Daren had fallen for.

Wen Min had a delicate melon-seed-shaped face, cloudlike hair, skin as white as snow, and a faint smile often lingered at the corners of her lips. She was also a beautiful woman.

"Junior Brother Ji, come with me." Wen Min smiled gently at Ji Changfeng.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Wenmin." Ji Changfeng smiled.

Without hesitation, he followed Wen Min out of Jingzhu Pavilion.

At this moment,

quite a few female disciples had already gathered outside Jingzhu Pavilion. They surrounded Tian Ling'er, chattering away about this and that...

"Junior Sister Ling'er, was that Ji Changfeng from your Dazhu Peak just now?"

"Junior Sister Ling'er, tell us quickly, what cultivation level is he at now?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Ji Changfeng's cultivation journey had already become a legend within Qingyun Sect. He had reached the Jade Pure First Layer overnight and the Jade Pure Second Layer in half a month. Now, more than three months had passed...

They were all very curious about just how far Ji Changfeng's cultivation had progressed.

"Hehe!"

Little Ling'er planted her hands on her hips and said proudly:

"You might jump in fright if I tell you."

"Ji Changfeng has already reached the Jade Pure Fourth Layer!"

"What?!"

The moment those words were spoken, the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples around her were utterly shocked.

The Jade Pure Fourth Layer?

The Jade Pure Fourth Layer in three months?!

Was that real?!

Even Lu Xueqi, Master Shuiyue's most prized disciple, had taken nearly two and a half years to reach the Jade Pure Fourth Layer...

And now they were saying Ji Changfeng had reached the Jade Pure Fourth Layer

in less than four and a half months?!

Hiss—

Such talent was utterly terrifying!

What kind of Prodigy was this?

Hearing the female disciples' discussion, Wen Min looked back at Ji Changfeng in astonishment and said:

"Junior Brother Ji, y-you've already reached the Jade Pure Fourth Layer?"

Ji Changfeng smiled faintly.

"Senior Sister Wenmin, there's no need to be surprised. I was merely lucky."

"Lucky..." Wen Min's mouth twitched slightly.

What kind of "just lucky" was that?

The Jade Pure Fourth Layer was a massive watershed. Nearly a thousand people in the entire Qingyun Sect had likely failed to break through.

They were all stuck at the Jade Pure Third Layer.

And he called it luck...

Sure enough, prodigy-level geniuses were different from ordinary people.

Wen Min sighed softly.

Her conversation with Ji Changfeng quickly drew the attention of the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples around them.

"Eh? Junior Brother Ji!"

The instant the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples saw Ji Changfeng, their eyes lit up as though they had spotted some rare treasure.

Thus, they all abandoned Tian Ling'er

and surrounded Ji Changfeng.

Tian Ling'er: ???

I was here first!

Ji Changfeng, you stole my spotlight again!
