Time slipped by.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yuanjun had spent two months on Flying Immortal Peak.
During that time, aside from refining his Sword Qi, Zhang Yuan tried to sound out how Qin Jieyu was keeping watch on him. Unfortunately, no matter how he fished for information, every conversation with Qin Jieyu inevitably circled back to him, leaving him empty-handed.
Early that morning.
Zhang Yuan came to the hall of Qin Jieyu's wooden cabin as usual. The breakfast she had prepared was on the table.
"Eat up, my disciple. Remember to wake Miss Xiao afterward. Something's happening today, and I need to visit Main Peak. You two will come with me," Qin Jieyu said, sitting across the table.
Zhang Yuan's eyes brightened slightly. After two months, had he finally found a chance to leave Flying Immortal Peak? This was undoubtedly an opportunity.
Zhang Yuan nodded, then thought back over how Qin Jieyu had treated him these past two months. She took care of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and even prepared a medicinal bath to temper his body before bed each night. Every question received an answer, every request was granted. Her kindness knew no bounds, and she asked for nothing in return. He could not help asking:
"Elder Qin, you hadn't taken a disciple in ten thousand years. Why did you accept me?"
This was the most suspicious thing about Qin Jieyu.
She was a Supreme Elder who had gone ten thousand years without taking a disciple, yet she had chosen him of all people-and seemed set on him. The talent [Basking in the Spring Breeze] was certainly powerful and could activate regardless of cultivation realm, but what good could a little favorability do?
Surely Qin Jieyu hadn't taken a fancy to my looks...
