Several days later.
Dongyuan Sect, atop Lianyou Peak.
Song Yan and Li Qingfeng sat in a lakeside courtyard, with Gu Qingqing sitting opposite them.
"Junior... Junior Sister Gu, there are female cultivators everywhere on Lianyou Peak. Is it somewhat inappropriate for Senior Brother Song and me to wait for Senior Sister Qin here...?"
Li Qingfeng hesitated before speaking. "Why don't we go wait at the Outer Sect Miscellaneous Affairs Hall instead?"
"No need, no need."
Gu Qingqing shook her head and smiled gently. "It's all right. Senior Sister Qin told us to. She should be reporting to several elders about that Devil Cultivator in Peach Blossom Hollow right now. She'll be back soon."
Her eyelashes curved when she smiled, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.
"If you don't mind, please have some of Lianyou Peak's pastries first."
This was Song Yan's first visit to Lianyou Peak.
To give credit where credit was due, the place where the sect's female cultivators lived truly enjoyed spring all year round, with lovely scenery.
Those flowers and plants seemed to have Outer Sect Disciples assigned specifically to tend them.
Xiao He had long since wriggled out of Song Yan's sleeve to play all over the place.
The fact that Song Yan had a little snake Spirit Demon was no longer much of a secret.
"..."
Female cultivators occasionally passed the flower-filled courtyard. Seeing male cultivators on the peak, they could not help looking over curiously and pointing.
"Who are those two male disciples...? Why are they here?"
"I don't know... Huh? Junior Sister Qingqing is here too."
"Oh, that junior brother is so handsome."
"Why does he look a little familiar...?"
Talking among themselves on their own territory, these female cultivators naturally had no need to conceal anything or transmit their voices,
