"How many times have I told you? Xu Jie is my senior sister's master and mine."

"Why do you people and Soul Beasts never believe us?" Big Yellow grumbled discontentedly as he ate dragon meat.

"Big Yellow, perhaps this seems perfectly ordinary to you and Big White, but to us, it's simply too incredible. Your master is only a fifteen-year-old boy!"

"It's like someone telling us a person was born a God King. Naturally, that wouldn't convince us, and we'd have our doubts. Never mind seeing such a thing-we wouldn't even dare imagine it," Gu Yuena explained.

After hearing Gu Yuena's words, Big Yellow lectured her, "Don't mistake your common sense for the world's common sense. This world is vast, so vast you can't imagine it."

"It's perfectly normal for things to exist beyond your understanding. Don't always think of questioning them. You should accept them and seek change through them."

Those words were not something he had come up with, but something his master had told him.

"Big Yellow, thank you for the lesson."

Gu Yuena grew increasingly curious about Xu Jie.

"Big Yellow, may I meet your master?"

Big Yellow let out a satisfied burp and answered regretfully, "Gu Yuena, if you'd come a little earlier, you could have met my master. Unfortunately, you're too late."

"My master has already left Mount Lu Residence to wander the world."

"I see." Gu Yuena felt deeply regretful. Not being able to see such an unparalleled genius and legendary figure with her own eyes was truly a tremendous loss.

The methods of immortal cultivation were so miraculous that they could allow two ordinary beasts like Big Yellow and Big White to stand shoulder to shoulder with Deities. If she met Xu Jie, she also wanted to ask whether she could practice immortal cultivation, and whether he could teach her its methods.

But then she reconsidered. Big Yellow and Big White also possessed the methods of immortal cultivation. Couldn't she simply have them teach her?

Gu Yuena looked at Big Yellow and Big White and asked earnestly, "Big Yellow, Big White, can you teach me the methods of immortal cultivation?"

Faced with this matter, Big Yellow and Big White both shook their heads.

Big White explained, "Gu Yuena, Master once warned us that the arts must not be lightly passed on, and the Dao must not be lightly spoken of. To learn the methods of immortal cultivation, you must enter his tutelage and become his disciple."

"Master has gone wandering, and neither my junior brother nor I know where he is now. If you want to learn the methods of immortal cultivation, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until our master returns and see whether he's willing to take you as his disciple."

Regret was written all over Gu Yuena's face.

She planned to stay at Mount Lu Residence for a while.

She only hoped Xu Jie could return to Mount Lu Residence soon.

Big Yellow's eyes darted as he asked, "Gu Yuena, do you truly want to practice immortal cultivation?"

"Yes, yes. I'm simply too curious about the Immortal Cultivation System. I'm willing to enter Xu Jie's tutelage and honor him as my master."

"Big Yellow, do you have some way to contact your master?" Gu Yuena asked with anticipation in her eyes.

He did have one.

But Big Yellow didn't dare use it!

The means of contact his master had left for him and his senior sister was for saving their lives in an emergency, when they were in mortal danger.

If he contacted his master over such a trivial matter, he would inevitably get a thrashing when his master returned.

Although he complained that his master had gone off to have fun without taking him, he also knew his master wasn't out playing, but cultivating away from home to hone the deficiencies in his state of mind.

Besides, his senior sister wouldn't agree to him tricking their master into returning just to take Gu Yuena as a disciple.

And he had a little scheme of his own.

If he had his master take Gu Yuena as a disciple, his little scheme would have no chance of succeeding.

Sure enough, as soon as Big Yellow and Gu Yuena finished speaking, Big White intervened:

"Junior brother, we can't misuse the method Master left us. Master is at a critical juncture in his cultivation right now. We shouldn't disturb him over such a small matter."

"Senior sister, of course I know that. I'm talking about another method."

As Big Yellow spoke, a sly grin appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior sister, have you forgotten?"

"Master once said that if he ascended to the Immortal Realm one day, you could accept disciples on his behalf."

"Although Master hasn't ascended to the Immortal Realm yet, he has gone wandering. I think it amounts to the same thing."

"Junior brother, can we really do that?" Big White was a little hesitant.

Big Yellow urged her, "Senior sister, don't worry. Master certainly won't blame you."

"Even if he does, just tell him it was my idea."

"If Master wants to give someone a thrashing, it'll be me."

"I've got thick skin and tough flesh. I'm not afraid of Master's thrashings."

"Pfft."

Big White couldn't help chuckling. Recalling her junior brother's embarrassing moments when their master punished him, she shook her head slightly and said:

"Junior brother, since I'd be the one accepting a disciple on Master's behalf, how could I let you bear his wrath alone?"

Big Yellow immediately understood that his senior sister had agreed to his proposal that she accept a disciple on their master's behalf.

He looked at Gu Yuena and said, "Gu Yuena, there's something I need to make clear first. If you agree, I'll have my senior sister accept you on Master's behalf. If you don't, forget it."

"Big Yellow, what is it?"

"After you enter my master's tutelage, you'll have to slip under his covers every night and keep him company."

"My senior sister used to do that."

Gu Yuena lowered her head, her heartbeat quickening. Was this really something a disciple ought to do?

If anyone else dared make such an outrageous demand, she would have smashed their dog's head.

But if it was Xu Jie.

Such a legendary, powerful human.

She was willing.

Big White blinked at Big Yellow.

Well, well, junior brother.

Is this right?

How come I never knew I had to slip under Master's covers?

Big Yellow blinked back at Big White.

Senior sister, calm down.

Hear me out in a moment.

This was Big Yellow's little scheme.

Hadn't Master said he had always wanted a beautiful woman to keep him company?

As his disciple, he would simply lure a fragrant, soft beauty here to become their junior sister, so Master could hold their fragrant, soft junior sister in his arms as he slept every night.

Sigh, being his disciple really is exhausting. I even have to worry about Master's marriage.

Seeing how deeply conflicted Gu Yuena looked, Big White said, "Gu Yuena, don't listen to my junior brother's nonsense. There's never been any such thing."

But when those words entered Gu Yuena's mind, they took on another meaning.

Eldest senior sister wants Master all to herself.

No.

Whatever eldest senior sister can do, I can do too.

She hurriedly agreed, "Senior sister, no, no, I'm very willing to slip under Master's covers at night."

Big White glared at Big Yellow and explained to Gu Yuena that Mount Lu Residence had never had such a rule.

But Gu Yuena didn't believe her.

She remained convinced that her eldest senior sister wanted their master all to herself.

Big White stopped trying to persuade her. One was willing to strike, and the other was willing to take the blows. Once Gu Yuena had been punished by their master, she would return to normal.

Big Yellow had already run into Mount Lu Residence and brought out Xu Jie's statue.

Although it was only a statue, it captured ninety percent of Xu Jie's spirit and bearing.

After completing the ceremony to become his disciple, Gu Yuena looked at Xu Jie's statue and wanted to slip under his covers even more.

Big White began teaching Gu Yuena the methods of immortal cultivation.

She started with the basic common knowledge.

After she finished explaining, Big White used her divine sense to transmit the contents of the Qi Refining Chapter into Gu Yuena's mind.

It was only a little over a thousand words, yet it seemed to seek to reveal all the mysteries of the world.

Gu Yuena became completely immersed in it.

Big White pulled Big Yellow aside and asked, "Junior brother, why did you deceive our junior sister?"

"Since when has Mount Lu Residence had any such thing as slipping under Master's covers at night?"

"Senior sister, I'm doing this for your sake too."

"Haven't you always wanted to take human form?"

"Our junior sister's looks are quite good."

"But you must be worried that Master wouldn't like her looks."

"That's why I had our junior sister test Master."

"Don't worry, senior sister. Nothing will go wrong. I know Master. Besides, you've still got me!"

"And isn't our junior sister willing too?" Big Yellow asked in return.

Big White said nothing more.

Just as her junior brother had said.

Their junior sister herself was willing.

What reason did she have to stop her?

In the Divine Realm, at the Law Enforcement Hall.

Asura God asked, "Destruction, Life, Kindness, Evil, how do you think we should deal with Gu Yuena and Mount Lu Residence?"

Destruction said bluntly:

"Naturally, we should arrest Gu Yuena, bring her back to the Divine Realm, and seal her within the Divine Forbidden Land."
