A young man stood opposite Ouyang, and Ouyang could see a stat panel for him as well.
Name: Bai Feiyu (reincarnation of an ancient sword immortal) Cultivation: Foundation Establishment, fifth level Root bone: 9 Charm: 10+1 Luck: 1 Sword aptitude: 10+1 Exclusive skill: All Things Are My Sword Assessment: An ultra-handsome junior brother who already has the bearing of a peerless sword immortal at his tender age!!!
Every time Ouyang saw Bai Feiyu's stat panel, he couldn't help marveling.
This junior brother of mine really has quite a background!
One glance tells you he's the protagonist chosen by Heavenly Fate!
But that 1 in luck makes it obvious he isn't fortune's favored son!
Bai Feiyu's appearance also made Hu Tutu's eyes light up beside Ouyang.
The young man was extraordinarily handsome, with swordlike brows and starry eyes. A smile played at his lips, as gentle as a cool breeze brushing against the face.
He wore white robes and Flowing Cloud Boots, with the Three-Foot Greenedge Sword hanging at his waist.
He stood straight as a green pine. As the mountain breeze swept past, his robes fluttered, making him look like an immortal banished to the mortal world!
He seemed to stand bathed in light, warm and gentle as jade!
"He's so handsome!" Hu Tutu stared wide-eyed at the newcomer, feeling her little five-year-old heart begin to thump wildly.
He's just too handsome! Compared with this eldest senior brother beside me, he's what a senior brother should look like!
Little stars began to sparkle in Hu Tutu's eyes. Her chubby cheeks flushed faintly, and a trickle of drool slipped unwittingly from the corner of her mouth.
But the young man didn't look at her. Instead, he turned his smiling gaze on Ouyang.
Although he was smiling, Ouyang felt as though countless throwing knives were shooting out of those eyes, intent on pinning him dead on the spot.
"Ahem. Little Bai, let me introduce you. This is Hu Tutu, the little junior sister Master brought back. Little junior sister, this is your fourth senior brother, Bai Feiyu," Ouyang said, introducing them to each other.
"S-senior brother? He really is my senior brother! Tutu loves her senior brother best!" The sudden surprise left Hu Tutu rooted to the spot in shock, her words tumbling out in a stammer.
At the thought of spending every day from now on with such a handsome husband... no, senior brother... Hu Tutu felt as warm as if she had been wrapped in countless layers of cotton.
"Hehehe..." Imagining her future days with Senior Brother Feiyu, Hu Tutu's five-year-old face broke into a thirty-year-old auntie's doting grin.
Hearing Ouyang's introduction, Bai Feiyu also turned his gaze to Hu Tutu.
Bai Feiyu's eyes sharpened, and his handsome brows drew together. Before his eyes, Hu Tutu had nowhere to hide her true nature. With some displeasure, he said, "What is Master thinking, taking in a fox... mmph, mmph..."
Ouyang lunged forward and clapped a hand over Bai Feiyu's mouth. Bai Feiyu was just about to form a sword seal and send the flying sword at his waist out to chop off the scoundrel's paw.
But Ouyang pressed his other hand down on Bai Feiyu's sword hilt, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Master said not to mention her identity in front of her. Also, her name is Hu Tutu, and Master's name is Hu Yun."
Bai Feiyu's eyes instantly widened, and he stared at Ouyang in shock. They're both surnamed Hu?
Could this fox be Master's illegitimate daughter?
Master actually captured a fox demon alive to help with his cultivation?
Are cultivators these days all this wild?
Or have I really grown old?
Bai Feiyu swatted Ouyang's paw away and looked at Hu Tutu with conflicting emotions. Expressionlessly, he said, "Since you've entered the sect, cultivate diligently. Keep your distance from Eldest Senior Brother from now on. There's something wrong with his head."
His tone was so old and ponderous that he sounded like an antique.
As a spirit fox, Hu Tutu keenly sensed the change in Bai Feiyu's mood. Her handsome senior brother seemed to have disliked her from the very first moment he saw her.
He doesn't even like a pretty little girl like me?
Hu Tutu was both dejected and deeply puzzled.
Could this senior brother be like the uncles on Green Mound Mountain?
She remembered how the handsome uncles on Green Mound Mountain always laughed and played in pairs, while turning a blind eye to the pretty aunties.
Do handsome men only like other handsome men?
"Hey, she's only a little kid. Why so serious?" Ouyang reached out and pinched Bai Feiyu's cheeks, trying to squeeze a smile onto his junior brother's face.
Bai Feiyu struck like lightning, seizing Ouyang's wrist and twisting his arm into a lock before pinning him against the rock wall.
"Ow, ow, ow! You unfilial brat! I'm your eldest senior brother!" Ouyang shouted furiously between cries of pain.
Watching her two senior brothers roughhouse, Hu Tutu gained a little understanding. No wonder he was so cold toward her.
So he's afraid a natural beauty like me will steal Eldest Senior Brother away?
The people in this sect really are strange!
Bai Feiyu and Ouyang tussled for a while. Only when Ouyang begged for mercy did Bai Feiyu release his shoulder.
Rubbing his shoulder and grimacing, Ouyang asked, "Why did you come down instead of cultivating on the mountain? Did you come specially to pick us up?"
Bai Feiyu shook his head. "Today is the sect leader's lecture, and I'm going to listen. The sect leader is very unhappy with our Little Mountain Peak's attendance. He says we never come to his lectures, and that it's very disrespectful. He also said that if Little Mountain Peak refuses to participate in next month's sect tournament again, he'll strike us from the rolls along with Master. He specifically ordered me to attend this lecture. If I don't go, Sect Leader Martial Uncle really will get angry!"
"That old fossil spends every day swaying his head and droning, 'The Way that can be spoken is not the eternal Way.' He can even lecture himself to sleep. What's the point of going? Strike us from the rolls? Let him. Last time he snuck over to Jade Maiden Peak and got beaten out of there, someone recorded the whole thing with an Immortal Recording Stone and sent it to me. Tsk, tsk, let me tell you, you can see that shoe print on his face clear as day!" Ouyang said carelessly.
Bai Feiyu nodded. His eldest senior brother had seemed outrageously gifted at socializing ever since childhood. Across all seventy-two peaks of the Azure Cloud Sect, his disreputable friends were everywhere.
Since they had something to hold over the sect leader, there was nothing to fear.
He had recently reached the most crucial stage of honing his sword heart and didn't want to waste time on this. So many years had passed since his reincarnation.
All this time, he had been honing the perfect sword heart that he had never attained even in his previous life. Now that he had reached the most crucial moment, he didn't want to waste any time.
Looking at his exasperated eldest senior brother, Bai Feiyu's thoughts drifted far away.
Bai Feiyu harbored a tremendous secret that no one knew: in his previous life, he had been an ancient sword immortal!
After awakening the memories of his previous life, Bai Feiyu had joined the Azure Cloud Sect, one of the nine great sects of the current age.
Beyond a cultivator's own talent and cultivation methods, the most important thing was cultivation resources. Before he became sufficiently powerful, entering a major sect would let him achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Yet ever since joining the Azure Cloud Sect five years ago, he had always felt that this eldest senior brother of his was leading him astray.
His once unruffled, still-water state of mind was stirred into blazing fury by this fellow every single day.
Still, for Bai Feiyu, who had spent his entire previous life as a sword immortal cultivating, being able to set his mind at ease and experience the joys of youth again in this life was something he enjoyed.
Bai Feiyu returned to his senses, his expression growing calm again. "Then I'll head back first!"
"Wait!" Ouyang, who had been fuming just a moment ago, instantly changed his expression and called out to Bai Feiyu as he prepared to leave.
"Is there something else?" Bai Feiyu asked.
With a somewhat ingratiating air, Ouyang said, "I hear your Sword Flight Technique has reached new heights lately, Junior Brother? How about broadening your senior brother's horizons?"
Bai Feiyu looked at Ouyang with a knowing half-smile. "Broaden your horizons? Don't you just want me to give you two a ride? Oh? I forgot. You're still at the Qi Refining stage, Senior Brother, so you can't fly on a sword."
Ouyang's weathered face reddened. Sheepishly, he said, "I just don't want to level up. Besides, between fellow disciples, can you really call it giving someone a ride?"
Then Ouyang swayed his head and intoned, "A ride, say you? A ride, indeed!"
Shing!
The Three-Foot Greenedge Sword at Bai Feiyu's waist shot out in a streak of light, lifting Bai Feiyu and charging straight at Ouyang.
Still fussing over his wording, Ouyang looked up and felt his heart jolt. This unfilial brat actually wants to murder his senior brother! He hurriedly leaped aside, narrowly avoiding Bai Feiyu as he flew past.
Bai Feiyu caught Hu Tutu's hand, and the flying sword soared high into the air. Hu Tutu let out a shriek.
The Three-Foot Greenedge Sword beneath his feet became a long green rainbow as Bai Feiyu took Hu Tutu straight toward the distant mountain peak, leaving only his voice echoing through the valley:
"Senior Brother, if you're not back before dusk, we won't save you any dinner!"
Before you continue
