I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

Shen Xuanli nodded slightly in response.

Then there is no more then.

In fact, when Ye Qingning and the other three took their seats, Shen Xuanli noticed their arrival. When he saw Ye Qingning coming to greet him, he just glanced at her lightly and then looked away.

Ye Qingning knew Shen Xuanli's personality, and seeing that he looked indifferent, he didn't care. After all, if he became enthusiastic, it would mean that he had been possessed by someone else.

Just as he was about to mention the lecture to Shen Xuanli, he saw Feng Wuyang smiling and patting the empty seat beside him.

"Junior sister, come and sit down! I was just worried that no one would talk to me, and now you're here! That's great!"

After saying that, he called someone over to add more bowls and chopsticks. He had heard that Ye Qingning had ordered the signature dishes here, so he immediately asked someone to serve all the signature dishes, without giving Ye Qingning a chance to refuse.

It also made Ye Qingning deeply feel what it meant to be unable to refuse such kindness.

Feng Wuyang really treated her as his junior sister and even called her that.

He couldn't help but feel helpless. Just as he was thinking about how to reject Feng Wuyang's kindness, he heard Shen Xuanli say calmly, "Sit down."

Ye Qingning was stunned and looked at Shen Xuanli. She really didn't expect Shen Xuanli to let her sit down. After all, he was not a person who liked to be in a crowd.

Moreover, the two of them were having a candlelight dinner here and the atmosphere was just right. If she joined in, wouldn't it ruin the atmosphere? It also made her think of a sentence for no reason: Am I here to join this family?

And what does Shen Xuanli’s slightly furrowed brows mean?

Don't worry, she is no longer a sickly person with a weak heart, and she will definitely not cough on him.

What Ye Qingning didn't know was that the reason Shen Xuanli frowned was all because of Feng Wuyang's words "Junior Sister".

Shen Xuanli had heard Pei Yin mention that Wuming wanted to take Ye Qingning as his disciple, but she had not yet become his disciple. So, she was no longer Feng Wuyang's junior sister.

Suddenly, Shen Xuanli, who usually had no emotions, felt a little anxious for Pei Yin.

He thought that since Pei Yin wanted to accept a disciple, Ye Qingning was undoubtedly the most suitable one, and he also thought that she could be his junior sister.

Shen Xuanli withdrew his thoughts. Seeing that Shen Xuanli was no longer looking at her, Ye Qingning stopped thinking about it and walked to the empty seat next to Feng Wuyang and sat down.

Feng Wuyang laughed heartily, his eyes almost narrowed into slits. He poured a cup of tea for Ye Qingning with great enthusiasm, and as soon as the dishes were served, he picked up some food for Ye Qingning first.

Because he has been practicing with Wuming for many years, Feng Wuyang has a wide range of knowledge.

So even though it was the first time he sat down to have dinner with Ye Qingning, they could still talk freely and happily without anyone feeling awkward.

There was no chance to mention teaching.

During the meal, Feng Wuyang was the one who talked almost all the time, Ye Qingning would occasionally respond, while Shen Xuanli was silent the whole time, without saying a single word, but he often accompanied Feng Wuyang to drink.

It was not until the end of the meal that Ye Qingning left Shen Xuan at the appropriate time.

"Big Brother, I have some questions about cultivation that I would like to ask you. I wonder when you are free. Could you please give me some advice?"

Shen Xuanli looked at Ye Qingning, his eyes as calm as water. Without thinking, he replied calmly: "Yes."

"Thank you, senior brother!" Ye Qingning was delighted and began to express his gratitude. He didn't expect Shen Xuanli to be so easy to talk to.

Shen Xuanli nodded and said in a clear voice: "Tomorrow at noon, come to Qingxinyuan to find me."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Ye Qingning responded quickly.

I sighed in my heart that Shen Xuanli was not only easy to talk to, but also arranged the teaching time quite early.

She was wondering if one hour of one-on-one teaching was enough. She only had five class hours, and then she had to study formations with Tianjizi, so she had to allocate her time well.

Feng Wuyang on the side felt a sense of crisis. Could it be that the junior sister he had his eyes on was abducted away by this cold guy Shen Xuanli?

No, he has to be careful. Shen Xuanli doesn't have a junior sister now, and he just agreed so readily. What if she competes with him for the junior sister?

The next day, just after dawn, Ye Qingning got up and packed everything.

On the table in front of the window, Yuntao had been basking in the moonlight all night, or to be more precise, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. The color of the whole insect seemed to have become more pink, and now it was lying down and sleeping again.

The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and he tucked the little guy into his clothes and left the room.

Qingxinyuan is Shen Xuanli's residence on the island.

The other direct disciples were arranged in groups of three or five in a courtyard, and only Shen Xuanli, because of his status as the chief disciple, was arranged in a separate courtyard.

Qingxinyuan is as quiet and elegant as its name suggests, with birds singing occasionally from the green bamboo forest.

The courtyard is elegantly laid out, with a winding gravel path leading to a hexagonal pavilion in the courtyard. There is an open space right in front of the pavilion, which is a good place to practice sword in the morning.

Under the pavilion, Shen Xuanli was sitting in a white robe as white as snow. There was a chessboard on the stone table in front of him. The man in red playing against him was Feng Wuyang.

Ye Qingning was sighing in his heart, thinking that these two people were really in a good mood. They were already sitting here playing chess early in the morning. They were truly role models for our generation!

Feng Wuyang was not interested in playing chess, so he ran to find Shen Xuanli early, one to wait for Ye Qingning, and the other to observe how Shen Xuanli taught Ye Qingning.

Maybe he could learn something from it, and when he teaches his junior sister in the future, he will have a reference for comparison in his mind.

Ye Qingning stood outside the pavilion and greeted the two. Shen Xuanli stood up, leaving Feng Wuyang alone in the pavilion. Without any extra words, the first thing he said to Ye Qingning was: "What do you want to learn?"

Ye Qingning didn't hide anything and said directly: "I want to ask Senior Brother for advice on swordsmanship."

As soon as the words came out, Shen Xuanli and Feng Wuyang both showed surprised expressions.

Feng Wuyang was certain that Ye Qingning used talismans in yesterday's competition, and was undoubtedly a talisman practitioner. In addition, Ye Qingning did not carry a sword, and he had not heard his master say that she was a sword practitioner. Why did she want to ask Shen Xuanli for advice on swordsmanship?

After being surprised, Shen Xuanli's expression returned to normal. He thought Ye Qingning was asking him questions about talismans or formations, but he didn't expect it was about swordsmanship.

"Have you entered the kendo?"

Ye Qingning nodded. He had entered the way of swordsmanship in his previous life, so he should be able to do so in this life as well.

"While watching the battle yesterday, I saw someone using sword techniques very similar to my Senior Brother's. I wanted to ask him for some advice so that I wouldn't be in a difficult position when I meet him again."

Hearing this, Shen Xuanli frowned slightly.

In fact, Shen Xuanli heard news last night that someone had displayed the sword skills he had practiced during a competition, and that person happened to be the biological daughter that the Ye family had found.

Shen Xuanli was surprised to hear the news. Pei Yin's swordsmanship was only taught to him. If someone could learn the sword moves by taking pictures, it could only be said that this person had an extremely high level of talent.

Shen Xuanli naturally hoped that Ye Qingning could win in the elimination round, so that she would have the opportunity to ascend to the headmaster's hall and have the right to choose to become his disciple.

"In that case, I will demonstrate this sword technique. Please watch carefully."
