Su Chen briefly explained the purpose of his trip.
After listening to Su Chen's words, Ye Ningshuang's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled, "I do know a powerful weapon cultivator."
"Oh?"
Su Chen became interested. "Tell me about it."
Ye Ningshuang turned her head and glanced at Su Chen out of the corner of her eye. "I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen asked somewhat helplessly, "What are the conditions?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "You have to promise me first."
Su Chen said, "As long as the weapon cultivator you know is powerful enough, I'll agree."
Ye Ningshuang chuckled, "It must be amazing, otherwise I wouldn't have introduced it to you."
Su Chen asked, "Who?"
Ye Ningshuang stared at Su Chen, blinked, and remained silent.
Su Chen sighed softly, then said, "Tell me your conditions, and I'll agree to them."
A triumphant smile appeared on Ye Ningshuang's face. "Spend half a month with me. For these two weeks, you have to stay with me the whole time."
Su Chen was taken aback, "Sleep together too?"
Ye Ningshuang's face flushed bright red, like a ripe apple. She rolled her eyes. "Dream on!"
Su Chen laughed and said, "I was just kidding. I promise you, now you can tell me, right?"
Ye Ningshuang shook her head and said, "Why the rush? I'll tell you in half a month."
Su Chen thought about it for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. Anyway, there was still some time before the academy recruited disciples, so there was no rush.
Ye Ningshuang then took Su Chen's hand, looked up at him, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Azure Mist Immortal Sect Realm."
Before Su Chen could speak, she had already pulled Su Chen toward the direction of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect.
She had only taken a few steps when Ye Ningshuang suddenly stopped, turned to look at the woman, and said, "I'll just walk around with him alone; you don't need to come with me."
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back, taking Su Chen with her.
The woman stood there, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but remembering that Su Chen was Ye Ningshuang's fiancé, she didn't say anything more.
The misty peaks of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect are shrouded in clouds and fog, drifting like a veil among the mountains. The peaks appear and disappear in the mist, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The continuous mountain ranges rise and fall, some like winding dragons, others like reclining fairies, all filled with an air of mystery.
Ye Ningshuang led Su Chen along a narrow path. Ancient trees stood tall and straight, their branches thick and their leaves as green as carved jade. Occasionally, spirit birds would sing sweetly from the branches, their voices clear and melodious. In the sky, brilliant rays of light would occasionally streak across the sky, the traces left by flying immortal beasts.
Ye Ningshuang's long dress fluttered in the breeze, her hair as smooth as ink, casually cascading over her fragrant shoulders. She linked arms with Su Chen, a captivating smile playing on her lips, walking at a leisurely pace.
Su Chen's face was sharply defined, like a meticulously sculpted work of art, flawless. His eyes were like deep lake water, clear and mysterious. His thin lips were slightly pursed, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, exuding a unique charm.
Their shadows, cast long shadows by the setting sun, resembled a breathtaking painting.
The Azure Mist Immortal Sect disciples who were passing by all looked astonished at this scene, seemingly unable to believe it, but they dared not say anything to their faces and hurriedly left. Only when they could no longer see the two figures did they dare to speak.
"Who is that man? Senior Sister Ye is actually holding his arm!"
"Could he... he be the dao companion that Senior Sister Ye found?"
"No! Impossible! I don't believe it!"
"If not, how could Senior Sister Ye be holding his arm in broad daylight?"
"Stop... stop talking! Waaaaah... my goddess!"
"Look at you, so pathetic!"
"That man was handsome and had an extraordinary air about him; he was clearly no ordinary person. If you ask me, he was indeed a good match for Senior Sister Ye."
"I remember Senior Brother Mu has been pursuing Senior Sister Ye, right? If he finds out that Senior Sister Ye has found a dao companion, wouldn't he go crazy?"
"I reckon this news will reach Senior Brother Mu's ears soon, and then there'll be quite a show to watch."
"Yes, Senior Brother Mu is notoriously jealous. Last time, a male disciple was crippled that very night just because he talked to Senior Sister Ye."
"I wonder if that man has a powerful background. If he does, that's fine; if not, then we're in trouble!"
On a mountaintop, a young man was suspended in mid-air, his eyes closed, his body exuding a terrifying aura.
The young man was handsome, with a tall and straight figure like a pine tree. His blue robe fluttered in the wind, as if he could ride the wind away at any moment.
At this moment, the young man slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them. "Didn't I say you weren't allowed to disturb me during this time? Are you ignoring my words?"
A figure appeared behind the young man; it was a boy. The boy looked at the young man, his throat bobbing, his eyes showing apprehension. He knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Senior Brother Mu, I have important matters to report, which is why I disturbed your cultivation. Please calm down."
Mu Xingyun closed his eyes and said indifferently, "If this news does not satisfy me, you will bear the consequences."
Cold sweat beaded on the young man's forehead as he hurriedly said, "It seems Senior Sister Ye has found a dao companion..."
boom!
Before the boy could finish speaking, Mu Xingyun suddenly opened her eyes, and a powerful aura swept out, instantly sending the boy flying. The boy crashed heavily to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Mu Xingyun turned around, her gaze fixed on the boy, and said in a gloomy voice, "What did you say?"
He spoke those words with great emphasis, which showed just how angry he was at that moment.
The boy, enduring the pain, hurriedly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm telling the truth. This news has already spread throughout the Azure Mist Immortal Sect, and Senior Sister Ye even... even..."
He stopped there, not daring to continue.
Mu Xingyun said in a deep voice, "What else?"
The boy hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior Sister Ye was still walking arm in arm with that man in the Azure Mist Immortal Sect."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingyun could no longer contain himself. Veins bulged on his forehead, clearly visible, and his face was filled with rage. "Where are they? Take me there!"
At the same time, Ye Ningshuang pointed to a building in front of her and introduced it, "That's the treasure vault of our Azure Mist Immortal Sect. It contains many powerful martial arts techniques and secret arts. If it weren't for the rule that outsiders can't enter, I would have taken you inside to have a look."
"Oh?"
Su Chen feigned surprise and said, "As the Azure Mist Immortal Sect, you don't even have this much right?"
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes. "Our Azure Mist Immortal Sect has many rules, and even I can't break them. However, if I talk to Father, I can still take you in. Would you like to go and have a look?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Next time."
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "Alright."
