In the courtyard, Xu Weichen and Chaoyang sat opposite each other under the peach tree.

"Master, I'm sorry. I didn't know that I would get out of the illusion so quickly, and caused my junior brother to be so frightened." Chaoyang apologized to Xu Weichen with a guilty look on his face.

"The trial in an illusion is inherently uncontrollable. You can't do anything even if you are in it." Xu Weichen only understood this simple truth after Chaoyang escaped from the illusion.

"Xiao Shu knows this very well. He agreed to let you take the trial with him before, and said that you have a special spiritual root. Maybe it was just to reassure me."

"It seems that the little junior brother likes the master very much. He has been staying with the master for these few days in Taicang Mountain and has never thought about playing with people of the same age." Chaoyang said with a smile.

Xu Weichen liked what he said and couldn't stop smiling.

"Xiao Shu is indeed very clingy."

"Master, are you and my junior brother going to become a couple?" Chaoyang asked abruptly.

Xu Weichen was a little surprised, but not too surprised. After all, neither he nor Xiaoshu thought that this relationship was something shameful, and they had never avoided it in front of Chaoyang, so he would find it normal.

"I do have this plan." He said frankly.

It’s just that Xiaoshu doesn’t want to.

"Then after you two become Taoist companions, how should I address you, my junior brother? Should I call you Master's Wife?" Chaoyang joked.

Xu Weichen imagined Liu Yishu's possible reaction after Chaoyang called her "Master's Wife" in front of him, and laughed.

I wonder if Xiaoshu will be shy or angry?

"It's up to you and Xiaoshu." It's just a name.

"Let's not talk about what happened between Xiaoshu and me for now. Chaoyang, have you heard of the saying 'A pure heart can lead to immortality in one step'?" Xu Weichen said seriously.

Chaoyang shook his head in confusion, "I've never heard of it."

"These are the last words left by the founder of Mount Taicang, Daojun Cang Xuan, before his death. All the cultivators who have heard of these words feel that the secret of becoming an immortal is hidden in these eight words."

Chaoyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Can humans really become immortals through cultivation?"

Xu Weichen was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know. But since Daoist Cang Xuan left these eight words, there must be a reason for it. After all, he is the cultivator who is closest to an immortal in the past three thousand years on the Suzaku Continent."

"But what kind of heart can be called a pure heart?" Chaoyang asked doubtfully.

"Today you have taken a step across the path of self-examination. They think you are the one with a pure heart."

Chaoyang looked incredulous, "How is this possible? This is not the first time I have participated in the trial of the Road of Self-Searching. It took me half an hour to complete the trial that year!"

Xu Weichen said: "In my opinion, whether or not you have a pure heart is not important. The fact that you can cross the path of self-examination in one step is enough to show that your heart is very pure, which is indeed of great benefit to your cultivation. Moreover, you also possess a rare Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root. Your future cultivation will definitely far surpass that of your peers!"

Chaoyang scratched his head and smiled foolishly, "Master, rest assured, I will practice harder and live up to your expectations!"

"You have been working very hard, so I am not worried about this. It's just that now they all think that you have the pure heart as Taoist Cang Xuan said, and you have the qualifications to strive for the immortal path. They must want to recruit you as their disciple, and will certainly use all kinds of resources and opportunities to tempt you. You must keep your original intention and don't be easily deceived by those with ulterior motives." Xu Weichen warned.

Chaoyang stopped smiling and said seriously, "I was originally just a little beggar in the imperial city. It was the appearance of Master that changed my fate. You led me into the immortal world and taught me how to cultivate. Everything I have now was given by Master. I will always remember your kindness and will never leave you!"

"I'm telling you this not to ask you to show your loyalty, but to tell you that the obsession of those who cultivate immortality is to become immortal. They see the hope of becoming immortal in you, and will definitely hold on to you tightly. However, most of these people are only for their own immortal path, and will not treat you sincerely. Those who can treat you sincerely cannot protect you in Taicang Mountain. Among these people, only your Uncle Ye is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a simple mind, and will not harm you. Moreover, he is the son of the sect master and can protect you. So if you are alone outside and encounter someone or something that is difficult to deal with, just report your Uncle Ye's name."

It’s extremely cold in Ye Qianjun’s bedroom.

Before the meeting in the sect hall, Ye Qianjun sent his attendants to invite Ye Yunhan.

Although Ye Yunhan arrived, he just stood there with a cold face and said nothing.

"Yunhan, I see that you seem to like Yuehua's eldest disciple Chaoyang very much. Do you want to accept him as your disciple?" Ye Qianjun didn't care about his cold attitude and asked with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Ye Yunhan's body suddenly became colder. He looked directly at Ye Qianjun with cold eyes and asked angrily, "You want me to steal your disciple?"

"This is not called snatching. You also saw that the child crossed the path of self-examination in one step today. Even if he is not the pure heart mentioned by the ancestor, he must be very close. He also has a natural spiritual root. If he is taught carefully, he may be able to achieve immortality in the future. But you see Yuehua is completely focused on his little disciple and ignores Chaoyang. He even treats him as a chores. Isn't this delaying him?"

Ye Qianjun's words sounded high-sounding and heartbreaking, but unfortunately Ye Yunhan had already seen through his true nature and was not moved at all.

"Chaoyang will only be Senior Brother's apprentice. How they get along with each other is their own business. Outsiders have no right to interfere!"

"If he was just an ordinary waste with five spiritual roots, he would naturally only be Yuehua's disciple. Unfortunately, he is not. He is a natural spiritual root with a pure heart. I'm afraid even the two supreme elders would be jealous. Yuehua's cultivation is okay now, but can he compete with the supreme elders?" Ye Qianjun said sarcastically.

"It would be better to let him become your disciple. Then he will still be a disciple of my Taichu Peak lineage. This way, Yuehua will be more receptive to this outcome."

Ye Yunhan couldn't help but clench his fists and retorted, "Senior Brother is also your disciple. Chaoyang originally belongs to the Taichu Peak lineage. If you care about Senior Brother even a little bit, why can't you fight against the two Supreme Elders for him?"

Ye Qianjun's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Him? He is an ungrateful person! I have devoted all my resources to train him, but he has started to disobey me because of his high cultivation level. What else can I expect from him?"

Ye Yunhan was so angry at Ye Qianjun's high-sounding words that he laughed. He simply tore off the fig leaf on Ye Qianjun's body, "Brother has long known that Bu Shenghan has a formation that can reflect your emotions, and he also knows how much you hate him in your heart! In order to win over Chen Tuo, you actually let him get engaged to a fickle and shameless woman like Chen Biyun. You knew that it was Chen Biyun who teamed up with Hu Yu to destroy the origin of Brother's Tao body in the secret realm and cut off his path to immortality, but you pretended not to know and favored Baiyun Peak, and even missed the opportunity to suppress Zhixuan Peak. I don't understand, what's wrong with Brother that makes you hate him so much? Or can a person's jealousy really be so terrible?!"

"Rumble--"

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder sound in the sky outside.

Inside the palace, Ye Qianjun could no longer maintain his fatherly look, his entire face was distorted with anger.
