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

As the last trace of dark blue in the sky was gently brushed away by the morning light, the early morning of winter was a little chilly, but also seemed particularly fresh.

Yuexiazui Restaurant, this world-famous restaurant, looks even more quaint and elegant in the morning light.

In the private room on the second floor, the flames of the fireplace danced, dispelling the chill outside the window. The laughter and conversation of the five people intertwined, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

"Haha, today's meal is on me, Murong Yu!" Murong Yu patted his chest generously, his eyes flashing with sincere friendship for his friends.

Sitting next to him was Ye Ying (Wan Yue after being resurrected by Yun Che, she changed her appearance and kept her identity secret). Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were shining with happiness. She was Murong Yu's lover, and the two of them had a deep love that was enviable.

Xu Wan, Yun Che's beloved disciple, was clever and intelligent. She opened her red lips slightly and spoke softly, "Brother Murong is truly generous. But having said that, the taste of this meal is truly unforgettable."

She turned to look at Yun Che, her eyes filled with admiration and affection.

Yun Che, a graceful middle-aged man with a cold and resolute face and eyes that reveal an extraordinary temperament, is Xu Wan's master and the wisest among the five.

Taoist Priest Xuanqing is a young Taoist priest. He is dressed in a Taoist robe and holds a whisk in his hand. There is an otherworldly aura between his eyebrows.

He smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Murong's generosity will be remembered by us.

However, this meal was not only a treat for our taste buds, but also a testament to the friendship among the five of us.”

After the meal, everyone was still not satisfied, and Xu Wan suggested: "Winter is coming, why don't we go look at some clothes and jewelry together and pick out some winter clothes for Sister Ye Ying?" Upon hearing this, Ye Ying's cheeks turned even redder and she lowered her head shyly.

Murong Yu laughed out loud when he heard this: "What a great idea! Ye Ying, wait for me, I will make you the most beautiful woman this winter."

The group left the Yuexiazui Restaurant and walked into the bustling street.

The streets were bustling with shops, and they finally walked into a clothing store called "Yunjin Pavilion," which had a dazzling array of colorful clothes.

Murong Yu held Ye Ying's hand and carefully selected winter clothes for her.

Sometimes he picked up a cloak and gently draped it over Ye Ying's shoulders; sometimes he picked up a scarf and gently wrapped it around her neck.

Ye Ying's face was filled with a happy smile and her eyes were shining with gratitude.

"This one is nice, it suits your skin tone very well." Murong Yu said, pointing to a light purple cotton jacket.

After Ye Ying tried it on, she found that she looked outstanding, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter.

"Murong Yu, you are so nice to Ye Ying." Xu Wan said with a smile.

She turned to look at Yun Che and Xuan Qing and asked, "Master, Taoist Xuan Qing, do you have the clothes you like? Brother Murong said he'll treat us."

Yun Che smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary. Taoist Xuanqing picked up a blue Taoist robe and said with a smile, "This one is quite good. It suits me."

Murong Yu laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Okay! Then buy them all together."

He paid the bill readily, and the four of them walked out of Yunjin Pavilion, their hearts filled with warmth and satisfaction.

After leaving Yunjin Pavilion, Xu Wan suggested going to the jewelry store.

They walked into a jewelry store called "Linglong Pavilion", where there were all kinds of dazzling jewelry.

Murong Yu once again picked out jewelry for Ye Ying. He chose a pair of exquisite silver earrings and a dazzling pearl necklace, and put them on Ye Ying's earlobes and neck.

Ye Ying's beauty was infinitely magnified at this moment. She seemed like a fairy walking out of a painting, which was very touching.

"It's really beautiful!" Xu Wan exclaimed sincerely. She looked at the white jade hairpin in her hand, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.

Taoist Xuanqing saw this and said softly, "If Miss Xu Wan likes it, please buy it. Brother Murong said he will treat us."

Xu Wan hesitated when she heard this, but Yun Che patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "Take it. This is a token of our appreciation."

Only then did Xu Wan nod and happily accepted the white jade hairpin.

It was almost dusk when the five of them left Linglong Pavilion. They stood on the street, looking at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude and reluctance to leave.

Although the day's reunion was short, their friendship became even deeper because of it.

"I'm so happy today!" Ye Ying said with a smile, "Thank you for spending such a wonderful day with me."

"Yes, it's great to have you by my side." Murong Yu said with emotion, "No matter how the future changes, we will always be each other's most solid support."

The five of them smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and trust seemed to turn into a ray of warm sunshine in winter, warming their hearts.

And this wonderful time will be forever engraved in their memories and become an eternal legend.

The cold wind of winter, with a bit of chill, gently brushed across the glazed tiles of the Drunken Restaurant under the Moon, making a fine and crisp sound.

The moonlight shines brightly, casting a layer of silver on the ancient and charming building, covering the quiet night with a layer of silver.

Inside the restaurant, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was warm, forming a sharp contrast with the cold outside.

In the No. 1 room, the fire was burning brightly, and the dancing flames illuminated two faces, each with its own unique charm.

Yun Che, dressed in a green robe, his brows revealing an otherworldly immortal aura. At this moment, he was sitting at the table, holding a teacup in his hand, looking deeply at Taoist Xuanqing across from him.

Taoist Priest Xuanqing, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, had a gaunt face, but his eyes shone with determination and perseverance. He bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Senior, I do have this intention. I would like to take Miss Xu as my teacher and learn her extraordinary skills."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile, and then he sighed softly, his eyes flashing with a hint of complex emotions.

"Master Xuanqing, you must think carefully. Although my disciple is gifted and intelligent, he is also stubborn and difficult to tame. I'm afraid he will hinder your path of cultivation."

There was a hint of joking in his words, but more of it was his doting and helplessness towards Xu Wan.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Xuanqing's eyes flashed with determination: "Don't worry, senior, I already know Miss Xu's temperament, but because of this, I admire her true nature even more.

I am willing to follow you two and explore the true meaning of martial arts together. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I will forge ahead courageously."

Yun Che nodded gently, but a ripple appeared in his heart.

He knew Xu Wan's charm very well. It was not only her extraordinary cultivation, but also her unconcerned and daring personality that allowed her to love and hate.

At this moment, facing Taoist Xuanqing's firm determination, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Just as Yun Che was feeling mixed emotions, he heard light footsteps outside the door. Then the door was gently pushed open, and Xu Wan, dressed in a lavender dress, walked into the room like an elf under the moon.

She has a beautiful and elegant face, and her eyes are full of indescribable charm.

When she saw Taoist Xuanqing, she smiled slightly. That smile was like the warm spring sun, instantly dispelling the coldness in the room.

"Master, Taoist Xuanqing, how is your conversation going?" Xu Wan's clear and pleasant voice broke the silence in the room.

Yun Che collected his thoughts and smiled faintly, "Wan'er, Taoist Xuanqing wants to take you as his disciple. Are you willing to accept him as his disciple?"

Hearing this, Xu Wan's gaze shifted between Yun Che and Taoist Xuanqing, as if she had noticed the subtle changes in her master's heart.

She chuckled softly, walked to Yun Che's side, and whispered, "Master, are you jealous? Since Taoist Xuanqing has such a heart, I am naturally happy to accept it.

However, I also need to see if he really has the determination and perseverance."

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Yun Che’s face, but he immediately regained his usual composure.

"Master, I am just reminding you to be cautious when accepting disciples. Don't let that kid ruin your reputation."

Xu Wan laughed even more happily upon hearing this. "Master, don't worry. I know what to do."

After that, she turned to Taoist Xuanqing, her eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Taoist Xuanqing, are you willing to accept my test?"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Xuanqing immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times solemnly.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings. I am willing to accept any test, only wishing to receive your true teachings."

Watching this scene, Yun Che felt mixed emotions, and was slightly jealous of Taoist Xuanqing's persistent pursuit of Xu Wan.
