The Gap Between Their Disciples

The next morning, at the Immortal Ruins.

Golden light breaks the dawn, the azure sky is spotless.

Xu Qingying, Lin Qingxue, and others greeted guests from all walks of life in front of a banquet hall.

"Sister, Nangong Yun is one of your disciples!" Xu Xuanyu, dressed in new clothes and dressed up specially, stood next to Xu Qingying, looking very excited.

Today is Xu Qingying's apprentice-acceptance ceremony.

Under Lin Qingxue's arrangement, Xu Qingying will take on four apprentices.

They are the top geniuses from the four major Lineage: the Nangong Household, the Huangfu Household, the Long Household, and the Huang Household.

This will be a grand feast.

Xu Qingying smiled and nodded, "I heard you've known Nangong Yun for a long time?"

Knowing that her younger brother liked Nangong Yun, she created more opportunities for him after the apprenticeship ceremony.

Xu Xuanyu scratched his head, looking somewhat naive, and said, "It's alright. We've known each other for many years, and now we're pretty good friends."

I've had a crush on him for many years!

Now that the goddess has become my older sister's apprentice, there will be more opportunities to get to know her in the future!

As time went by, more and more guests came.

Lin Qingxue had made all the arrangements in advance, having already invited all the top powers in the Immortal Ruins to build momentum for her disciple.

"Qingying, although you are only in the Late Great Emperor Realm, your Emperor Position status is special, and you should act like Peak Great Emperor Realm expert. When you face a group of the Peak Great Emperor Realm experts later, don't be too restricted, just relax," Lin Qingxue instructed.

"Master, I know." Xu Qingying's face was full of confidence.

She will eventually become the strongest woman on the Cangyun Continent!

"Of course, we can't go too far. The main goal this time is to build good relations with those four major Lineage and avoid making mistakes."

"Okay, I understand."

After a brief exchange, two voices suddenly rang out from the sky.

"The Nangong Household has arrived!"

"The Huangfu Household has arrived!"

Lin Qingxue's eyes brightened slightly. "They've arrived."

Two groups of people appeared together from the sky and landed in front of the banquet hall.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Lin! Fellow Daoist Xu! We've kept you waiting!"

The person who spoke first was none other than the head of the Nangong Household.

At this moment, a graceful and beautiful woman stood beside the head of the Nangong Household.

Upon seeing this woman, Xu Xuanyu immediately grinned like a fool.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Nangong! You've arrived!" Lin Qingxue led Xu Qingying forward to greet them.

"Fellow Daoists." At this moment, the head of the Huangfu Household also smiled and looked at Xu Qingying and her companion.

Beside the head of the Huangfu Household was a tall, handsome man with an arrogant expression.

It was none other than Huangfu Qi, the strongest genius in the Huangfu Household's history.

Rumors circulate that he is a Immortal Ruins who appears only once in ten thousand years in the Immortal Peak Great Emperor Realm.

He will soon become one of Xu Qingying's apprentices.

"Fellow Daoists, please have a seat inside!" Xu Qingying greeted them politely before leading the group inside.

Shortly after the arrival of the Nangong Household and Huangfu Household, many more people came, and the Long Household and Huang Household also arrived soon after.

Not long after.

The huge banquet hall was already full of people.

They are all top-tier forces from various regions.

This was also the first time Xu Qingying had faced so many top experts directly.

Even knowing that she would one day be better than everyone present, she was still a little nervous.

Suppressing her nervousness, she greeted the guests under Lin Qingxue's guidance.

The master and disciple were extremely polite, especially towards top-tier powers like the Nangong Household.

The apprenticeship banquet proceeded smoothly.

After the ceremony, Xu Qingying successfully accepted a disciple.

"Master, please accept our bow!"

"Alright! Disciples, no need for formalities!" Xu Qingying said with a smile, looking at the four top geniuses of the Immortal Ruins.

Once she becomes the strongest person in the Immortal Ruins, and then trains these disciples into top experts, she will become an existence that no one can catch up with!

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the group continued eating, drinking, chatting, and engaging in the usual social niceties.

Xu Xuanyu watched as the Nangong Household head and his sister drank and chatted on the other side. He then quietly approached Nangong Yun and whispered, "Sister Yun!"

Just a moment ago, Nangong Yun was sitting alone, lost in thought, drinking tea with her head down, her usual vibrancy gone.

But upon hearing Xu Xuanyu's voice, her eyes lit up, and she forced a smile as she looked at Xu Xuanyu.

"Brother Xuan."

"Hehe, our relationship is getting closer and closer these days!" Xu Xuanyu said with a smile as he sat down next to Nangong Yun.

"Yes, that's right..." Nangong Yun nodded with a smile, but a dim glint still flashed in her eyes.

"What's wrong? You don't seem very happy today?" Xu Xuanyu immediately noticed that Nangong Yun seemed to have something on her mind and asked with concern.

Nangong Yun paused for a moment, then forced a smile, "No..."

"Really? Actually, if there's anything you need, you can tell me, and I'll see if I can help you," Xu Xuanyu said earnestly.

He didn't want to see the woman he liked troubled.

Just as Nangong Yun was about to say something, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"Yun'er, are you unhappy?"

Upon hearing the voice, Nangong Yun trembled slightly and then turned around to look behind her.

The speaker was none other than Huangfu Qi.

"No... no..."

Xu Xuanyu looked at Huangfu Qi, his brows furrowing.

Yun'er?!

At this moment, Huangfu Qi stared at Xu Xuanyu and said, "You are Master's younger brother. I'm giving Master face by reminding you: from now on, stay away from Yun'er."

Feeling Huangfu Qi's sinister gaze, Xu Xuanyu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Moreover, he discovered that Huangfu Qi had deliberately shown him his cultivation level separately.

It's only at the Early Great Emperor Realm!

This is the strength of a chosen one.

Xu Xuanyu looked at Huangfu Qi, who was about the same age as him but was a whole realm ahead of him, and felt utterly powerless.

"Why should I stay away from Sister Yun?" Xu Xuanyu asked, forcing himself to suppress his discomfort.

"Because..." Huangfu Qi was about to say something when a voice rang out from the group of top experts from the Immortal Ruins.

"It's a rare treat to have so many old friends here today! And on such a joyous occasion, let me share another piece of good news with you, Elder Huangfu! My daughter, Nangong Yun, and my nephew Huangfu Qi, are engaged! Their wedding will be held soon! This is truly a double blessing for our family! Fellow Daoist Xu, you are now the master of both of their children! How about you officiate at the wedding?"

The speaker was none other than the head of the Nangong Household.

Upon hearing this information, Xu Qingying was stunned for a moment, glancing hastily at her younger brother. Then, reminded by Lin Qingxue, she came to her senses and smiled at the head of the Nangong Household.

"Alright! Then I will officiate at this wedding."

"Haha! It's settled then! Fellow Daoists, you must come!"

Nangong Yun lowered her head, her lips moving slightly.

Xu Xuanyu, on the other hand, was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Huangfu Qi looked at Xu Xuanyu with a disdainful expression. "That's the reason. From now on, Yun'er will be my woman."

The apprenticeship ceremony has ended.

All the guests have left.

Xu Xuanyu quickly found his sister.

"Sis! I want to tell you something!"

Xu Xuanyu looked anxious.

Xu Qingying sighed, "I know what you want to say."

"Sister! Help me! I... I can sense that Yun doesn't want to marry him!!" Xu Xuanyu's eyes were bloodshot.

Xu Qingying looked at her master.

Lin Qingxue stepped forward and said, "Xuanyu, you're putting your sister in a difficult position. Besides, it's something both families have agreed to; your sister can't interfere."

"But! But..."

"No buts! You're all grown up now, you should know that some things are beyond your control. Don't make things difficult for your sister," Lin Qingxue said sternly.

Xu Xuanyu gritted his teeth, glanced at Lin Qingxue, then ignored Lin Qingxue and stared intently at his sister.

He didn't say anything, but looked at his sister with pleading eyes.

However, Xu Qingying's final response to him was to frown and shake her head.

"Xuanyu, there are plenty of fish in the sea."

Lin Qingxue: "Listen to me! Don't let romantic feelings ruin your sister's career. Besides, Nangong Yun might not even dislike Huangfu Qi."

Xu Xuanyu clenched his fist, his fingernails digging into his skin, drawing out thin streams of blood.

"OK..."

He turned and left, his figure forlorn.

Xu Qingying frowned as she looked at her younger brother's heartbroken expression.

That night.

Lightning flashed.

Xu Qingying was cultivating when a message arrived that startled her.

She flew out of the main hall quickly and headed in one direction at top speed.

When he arrived at the Nangong Household's residence, he saw his younger brother lying in a pool of blood!
