Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 35 I Don't Know You When You Are Seen

Qingwei has been feeling refreshed lately and feels that the other elders are looking at him with envy and jealousy.

There's no way around it. I inexplicably accepted two precious disciples, and anyone would be unable to resist showing off.

Although Yun Yi began his cultivation and foundation-building process relatively late, he possessed a tremendous opportunity. Once the Fangyuan Sword was successfully refined, the benefits would be endless. Furthermore, his Qi Refining Realm was incredibly solid, surpassing even the sage scholar Meng Fan.

As for Shi Yucheng, Qingwei had taken advantage of him. The second son of the Shi family, though a gentle and refined man, possessed a monstrous talent for cultivation. Even before joining the Fuyao Sect, he had already successfully established his foundation, a peerless genius whose mere breathing was equivalent to inhalation and exhalation.

When the elder thought about these two people growing up and that he would have two famous disciples in Fuyao Sect, he couldn't help but snort.

It seems that my disciples from Qingwei will be the ones taking the lead in this Chenghuang Trial.

Song Xinci, who was standing by, watched Elder Qingwei hum a song for no apparent reason, and couldn't help but frown. He wondered if he had chosen the wrong master, as why did his master look mentally unstable?

She was traveling this time disguised as a man, having deliberately retouched her features to create a feminine, slightly feminine look. Her eyes were deep, her eyelashes were long, her skin was fair and delicate, but her figure was slender, and she stood like a pine tree, a truly elegant gentleman.

It's the type that makes both men and women feel moved when they see it.

Qingwei talked to Song Xinci about the rules and regulations of the Fuyao Sect for a while, and then he heard Qi Linger's voice from a distance: "Master, I'm back!"

A typical case of the voice arriving before the person arrives.

Qing Wei explained, "This is your junior sister Qi Ling'er. She's even younger than you and is spoiled, but she's kind-hearted, innocent, and adorable. You should be more considerate of her."

Song Xinci responded obediently, "Disciple will remember this."

She looked at the girl who had rushed in through the doorway. She was indeed a beauty. She was also sizing her up, her eyes bright and full of curiosity.

However, when she saw the helpless man behind the girl, her calm demeanor, which she was proud of, suddenly rippled.

How could it be him? !

Why is Yun Yi in Fuyao Sect? !
Song Xinci was extremely surprised. She had clearly asked Zhuque to follow Yun Yi secretly, so why did she only see Yun Yi and not Zhuque? Moreover, he had even joined a righteous sect?
Do you really look down on my Demon Sect?!

Yun Yi felt the strange look in his new disciple's eyes and felt a little confused, but he still bowed to his master first: "Greetings, Master."

Qingwei nodded in satisfaction. Qi Ling'er was a lively person who never followed the rules. The new disciple was sensible.

He introduced: "This is your new junior fellow apprentice, Shi Yucheng."

After that, he explained to Song Xinci, "Although Yun Yi only entered the sect a few days earlier than you, the principle of first come first served is followed when becoming a disciple, so he is also considered your senior brother."

Song Xinci immediately calmed down and felt a little regretful for her previous loss of composure. She thought to herself that she must not let anyone find out.

She smiled and took out two small bags filled with spirit stones, respectfully handed them to the two senior brothers and sisters, and said, "This is just a small gift to show my respect. Please accept it."

Qingwei smiled secretly when he saw this, thinking that he had also received a very generous gift for becoming a disciple. The Shi family was indeed generous.

Qi Ling'er took the stone bag and said happily, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Yun Yi also took it with a smile, "Thank you, Junior Brother Shi."

Qingwei said, "Yun Yi, you and Shi Yucheng will live together in the newly built disciple dormitory from now on. You must take care of each other. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master."

Song Xinci's heart skipped a beat again, wondering how she had somehow ended up with Yun Yi, and how they were supposed to live under the same roof? She felt the same kind of sympathy in her heart stirring, but for some reason Yun Yi couldn't see any change in his expression.

Yun Yi had already placed the bamboo tube containing the Heart-Sharing Gu into his Xumi Ring, so he naturally didn't feel any changes. He was initially suspicious of his new junior brother, thinking he looked at him strangely, but then, seeing he looked normal, he felt relieved. Please, this is a reputable and upright sect, not a demonic sect. There's no need to make a fuss.

Afterwards, under Qingwei's arrangement, Yunyi took Shi Yucheng back to his room to rest and briefly discussed the affairs of the Fuyao Sect with him. As for Qi Ling'er, she was left alone to receive some private lessons. This former apprentice had been a bit playful lately and really needed some guidance.

Yun Yi ignored Qi Ling'er's pleading eyes and quickly ran away with his new junior brother.

Qi Ling'er pouted her lips, thinking that Senior Brother Xun was the best to me and wouldn't leave me alone to be scolded.

Qingwei's face turned serious: "The cultivation levels of my two junior brothers are almost higher than yours, and you still don't know how to practice hard?!"

Qi Ling'er refused to listen, so she just pretended to be deaf and dumb to deal with her master.

……

The two men's disciple room was in a remote place on Youxi Peak, extremely quiet, with a bamboo forest surrounding it, and occasional cicada chirping at night.

Shi Yucheng was very enthusiastic towards Yun Yi, asking all kinds of questions like a curious baby.

The only thing that made Yun Yi feel a little awkward was that his junior brother didn't seem to be curious about Fuyao Sect, but was more interested in him, his junior brother.

And for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity about this person, as if I had met him before, but I couldn't remember where he was.

Perhaps they had contact in a previous life? Yun Yi thought.

Song Xinci asked, "Master said that Senior Brother Yun entered the sect only a few days earlier than me. How did you become his disciple?"

Yun Yi cut to the chase, "I was saved by Senior Sister Ling'er and Senior Brother Xun Ziyu, and that's how I was lucky enough to join the Fuyao Sect."

"I see that Senior Brother always carries a large piece of metal on his back. Is that a sword?"

"Yes, it is a sword."

"Does the sword have a name?"

"The sword's name is Fangyuan."

Song Xinci narrowed her eyes, thinking, wasn't the Fangyuan Sword Nangong Feitian's weapon from a thousand years ago? How did it end up in your hands? And in such a tattered state?
She suppressed her doubts and asked, "From your accent, Senior Brother, you don't seem to be from Middle-earth?"

Yun Yi nodded and said, "My family lives in the northwest of the Great Xia Dynasty, in an inconspicuous little village, not worth mentioning."

"So you came all the way here just to become my disciple?"

"Not really. I originally wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam, but unfortunately something happened and delayed me."

Song Xinci mentally took note of Yun Yi again. "You stinky man, you're saying I've delayed your chances of passing the imperial examination, aren't you?"
She spoke rapidly, "Speaking of the northwest, I wanted to visit Crescent City a while ago, but unfortunately there was a rare storm there, so I didn't go."

Yun Yi didn't think his junior brother was trying to trick him, he just thought he was talking too much, so he casually replied, "That storm was indeed rare. I'm afraid even a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm could be blown away."

You have indeed been to Crescent City!

Song Xinci gnashed her teeth, wanting to reveal her true form and question why he insisted on joining the Fuyao Sect. She also wanted to ask where Zhuque had gone and why he hadn't bothered to ask about this matter.

She even suspected that Yun Yi was related to the murder in Wuming Town. Otherwise, why would the stinky beggar's divine pen lead to the clue of Fuyao Sect, and why did he appear here?
