Zhang Qingxi ignored the craftsman who was replacing the plaque. Just as he was about to take his junior brother into the temple, he heard a very soft voice calling out, "But Junior Brother Zhang is back?"

The person who spoke was nowhere to be found, but the voice seemed to be right beside her ear, lingering endlessly. Sun Yanwan's first reaction was: "What a great sound effect! Luxury-grade speaker quality!"

Zhang Qingxi bowed his head and replied, "Senior Sister Wei! It is indeed my younger brother who has returned."

Sun Yanwan felt her eyes brighten as a tall and graceful Taoist nun gracefully walked out of the temple. She was wearing a Taoist robe dyed in plum color, with a flawless face and a rosy complexion. She was holding a yellow wine gourd in her hand, and she smelled slightly of alcohol. She was extremely charming, and even though she was a little tipsy, she did not lose any of her spirit.

A disrespectful thought popped up in Sun Yanwan's mind: "If this Taoist nun starts a live broadcast, I will send a big rocket."

The Taoist nun holding the wine gourd glanced at Sun Yanwan and asked, "When did Master Zhang accept such a little disciple?"

Just as Sun Yanwan was about to speak, he heard Zhang Qingxi say calmly, "Three or four years ago, when my mentor was traveling in the north, he accepted Junior Brother Sun Yanwan as his disciple, but he never brought him along. This time, when I came down the mountain, I brought Junior Brother Sun back to teach him personally."

Sun Yanwan, whose martial arts skills had increased by several years due to his senior brother's words, immediately fell silent.

His master had warned him not to tell anyone how long he had been learning martial arts, but he thought that meant telling outsiders. He didn't realize that what his master meant was that he shouldn't tell anyone in his own sect either.

The Taoist nun uttered an "oh," clearly not taking the matter to heart. She said happily, "It's great that you're back, Junior Brother Zhang. Come and have a drink with me. I've delayed a lot of things while I was helping you rebuild this Taoist temple. You should really thank me."

张清溪显然跟这个道姑关系极好，含笑说道：“这位是大师伯门下魏师姐，亦是咱们嵩阳派这一代，三位宗师之一。就是魏师姐极爱喝酒，喝多了还喜欢撒酒疯，胡乱打人。你以后见到魏师姐撒酒疯，可要离她远一些，不然被魏师姐揍了，师父都不好替你讨回公道。”

Nun Wei chuckled and said, "How could I get drunk and act crazy? Besides, I don't like to hit people."

Zhang Qingxi smiled without saying anything and took Sun Yanwan into the Taoist temple.

Nun Wei said, "Master said that your Taiyi Temple lineage is a branch of our Songyang Sect, but our main temple cannot be abandoned, so he asked me to supervise the renovations and also asked me to replace the plaque."

"I've been busy all the time. The Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition is coming up soon, so I finally managed to get some skills together. Junior Brother Zhang, come and take a look. Is Senior Sister still putting in the effort?"

Zhang Qingxi bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Wei."

Sun Yanwan also bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Wei."

Senior Sister Wei chuckled, uncorked her wine gourd, took another sip, and asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you going to participate in the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition? Since the three of us aren't participating this year, you have a good chance of taking the top three!"

Zhang Qingxi replied, "I won't be participating either. My second junior brother will be participating in the C-class competition."

Nun Wei blurted out, "How shameless! A disciple of a great grandmaster is actually eating at the table of a child? He's been studying with Second Uncle for three or four years. Even if he's not as good as Junior Brother Zhang, he shouldn't be competing in the C group, right?"

"I'll change to Armor..."

"Forget it, let's just go with the B group!"

Sun Yanwan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He thought to himself, "I really haven't learned martial arts for that long. I've only been a disciple for a few months. If I were to compete with fellow disciples who have practiced martial arts for ten years, wouldn't that be like sending food to waste?"

Zhang Qingxi knew his second junior brother's background, so how could he dare let him join the Yizi Group? Although the Yizi Group was limited to those who had studied martial arts for less than ten years, those who could squeeze into the top were almost all elites who had practiced martial arts for ten years. Sun Yan would definitely be in vain if she went there at night.

Zhang Yuanshan and Zhang Qingxi were not the kind of people who cared about fame. They asked Sun Yanwan to come back to participate in the Seven Clans Martial Competition in the hope that he could obtain a Yang Golden Pill, increase his martial arts skills by five years, and lay the foundation for his future promotion to the Xiantian level or even the Grandmaster level.

Zhang Qingxi smiled slightly and said, "Teacher has designated that Second Junior Brother must join the C Group. Who dares to disobey?"

Nun Wei said awkwardly, "It seems Junior Brother Sun is really not up to the task!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, you didn't participate in the C group back then."

Zhang Qingxi and Sun Yanwan had the same thought in their hearts, and they both secretly exclaimed, "How can it be the same?"

"I/Big Brother has been learning martial arts under the master for several years, but I/Second Brother/I have only been practicing martial arts for a few months."

Taoist Nun Wei was puzzled. Why would the contemporary Grandmaster, the arrogant Second Uncle, suddenly accept such a "precious child"? Was he talented? He'd been training for three or four years, and it looked like he'd only opened up five or six meridians, but he was just average. Was he untalented? Why would Second Uncle accept a disciple?

A warrior at the Xiantian realm could roughly judge a person's internal energy flow purely by sensing their Qi. Taoist Nun Wei was already at the Grandmaster level, so her judgment of the internal energy of someone at Sun Yanwan's level was almost accurate.

The cultivation level of the Great Sage Tianji Sun Yunhe has fallen from the Xiantian realm, and he can only judge the level of other people's martial arts by his eyesight and knowledge. Although he can judge roughly the level of others' martial arts, he will be mistaken when he meets an "exception" like Zhang Qingxi.

Nun Wei's thoughts drifted, and a rather disrespectful thought popped up in her mind. She wondered, "Could it be Second Uncle-Master's illegitimate child? A surname of Sun...that means he'd take his mother's surname."

"Back then, the martial arts lady that Second Uncle was familiar with was surnamed Sun?"

"Well, let's go ask Sixth Uncle-General. He has information about our sect and will surely be able to deduce it."

Zhang Qingxi didn't want to continue this topic. He said that Sun Yanwan would never be allowed to participate in the B-class competition. He changed the subject and said, "Senior Sister Wei, I came back for another matter."

"I want to practice with Master. Later, you will accompany me to see Master Uncle and let Second Junior Brother take charge of Lingjian Peak."

Nun Wei was slightly surprised. She glanced at Sun Yanwan again and thought to herself, "No doubt about it! He must be Second Uncle's illegitimate son. Otherwise, why would he give our Taiyi Temple to Second Uncle when Junior Brother Zhang is a promising future Grandmaster?"

"Junior Brother Zhang must have understood the situation, so he didn't argue with Junior Brother. After all, he is Uncle Zhang's legitimate disciple, and he treats Master's illegitimate child like his own brother, with great respect and generosity."

"I have to mention this matter to Master secretly, lest that old man, with his bad temper, obstruct it. Second Uncle-in-Chief already has a bad relationship with him, and if he treats his illegitimate child with any ill-treatment, wouldn't it be like there's real friction between the two old men?"

Taoist nun Wei cheered repeatedly, and Sun Yanwan was completely stunned. She thought to herself, "Why did they give me this Taiyi Temple?"

"This place...if it were on Earth, it would at least be a 5A scenic spot, a historical site!"

"That's right. After all, Master, we only have two disciples, me and my senior brother. My senior brother must have some reason for not liking this place, so I'm the only one who can reluctantly become the head of Taiyi Temple."

The three of them had their own thoughts. After walking around Taiyi Temple, Nun Wei found an excuse and went ahead to report to her master that her second uncle had an illegitimate child and that he would be the heir to Taiyi Temple on Lingjian Peak of Songyang Mountain.

Taoist nun Wei was really afraid that her master didn't know about such secrets, so she got angry and refused to let him do anything, making the matter out of control.
