The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

On the couch, Xu Wan was covered with a red quilt, curled up with tears in the corners of her eyes.

She murmured to herself, her voice filled with endless sorrow: "Yun Chen, you're gone just like that. Is this really the end of our relationship?"

After saying this, she sighed deeply.

"That's fine, I'm a waste now anyway.

No matter how many elixirs I take, I can't summon the storage ring again. As a monk, I can't even summon my own sword. How ridiculous!"

Suddenly, the bell rang.

Xu Wan sat up suddenly and murmured, "It's Chenshi, the New Year has arrived, it's time to get up and attend the banquet."

She got off the couch, put on her embroidered shoes, walked to the wardrobe, and changed into the purple dress that Bo Yuan had bought for her.

She sat down in front of the dressing table and carefully combed her silver hair.

After a while, she walked out of Jingsi Pavilion and saw Bai Yuan and Xuan Qing standing on the side, waiting for her.

Bai Yuan smiled brightly and greeted, "Good morning, Junior Brother!"

Xuan Qing smiled slightly and said softly, "Good morning, Jinglian."

Xu Wan looked at Xuan Qing, her eyes revealing deep reluctance and helplessness.

She then removed the red string bracelet on her right wrist.

Xuanqing stared at the bracelet closely, his heart suddenly tightening, as if he had a premonition of something.

At this moment, Xu Wan loosened her hand and the bracelet fell directly to the ground.

Xuanqing didn't react for a moment and didn't have time to catch the red rope bracelet.

Xu Wan's voice sounded coldly, "I'll give it back to you."

Her tone was full of determination and indifference.

Bai Yuan, who was standing aside, witnessed this scene. He first looked at the red rope bracelet on the ground, then turned to look at the two of them, shook his head helplessly, then took big strides and left without looking back.

Xu Wan followed closely behind, leaving Xuan Qing with a look of astonishment.

Xuanqing finally came back to his senses. He slowly squatted down, picked up the red rope bracelet on the ground, and held it tightly in his hand, as if trying to grasp the memories that were about to disappear.

A bitter feeling welled up in his heart, "But he came to see you last night, so you don't want my red rope?"

Xu Wan lifted her dress and hurried along, trying her best to keep up with Bai Yuan who was striding ahead of her.

Seeing that the distance between them had widened to two meters, she had no choice but to raise her voice and shout, "Brother Bai Yuan, wait for me!

I don't know which direction to go to the banquet hall, can you please lead me?"

After hearing this, Bai Yuan finally stopped.

Xu Wan hurriedly caught up, panting.

However, Bai Yuan did not turn around to look at her, but just frowned with a serious expression.

At this moment, True Man Jiuyang appeared out of thin air like a phantom.

Bai Yuan immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Hail, Master!"

True Man Jiuyang nodded slightly, took out a piece of purple-gold spirit stone emitting a faint glow from his sleeve, handed it to Bai Yuan, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Bai Yuan, this is for you."

Bai Yuan took the spirit stone and smiled brightly: "Thank you, Master!"

At this time, Xu Wan also came over and looked at Master Jiuyang with a cunning light in his eyes.

She bent her knees, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "Master, Happy New Year, may you make a fortune, and give me the spirit stones!"

Zhenren Jiuyang and Bai Yuan looked at Xu Wan kneeling on the ground and both laughed heartily, finding Xu Wan's behavior amusing.

I saw Master Jiuyang stretch out his hands and said gently, "Hey kid, get up quickly."

Xu Wan quickly stood up, blinking her eyes, and looked at Master Jiuyang with anticipation.

I only heard Master Jiuyang holding his long beard and slowly saying: "Your opportunity has not yet arrived. Keep practicing hard, and the spirit stones will naturally come."

Hearing this, Xu Wan looked aggrieved: "Master, I... I'm afraid my body is ruined.

As a monk, I can't even summon a sword, so no matter how many elixirs I take, they're useless."

Upon hearing this, True Man Jiuyang frowned and remained silent.

At this time, Bai Yuan began to comfort Xu Wan.

"Don't worry, you're practicing too fast, so you're suffering from the backlash.

As long as you take it slow and steady, you can naturally summon it again."

At this time, Xuanqing slowly walked over, bowed to Master Jiuyang, clasped his fists and said, "Xuanqing greets Master and wishes Master a prosperous New Year."

Upon hearing this, True Man Jiuyang nodded slightly, his face calm, and then said, "Follow me, Master."
