The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

There are three wooden houses in total for the disciples of Taiyi Sect, located in the west courtyard of Zizhu Peak, in order from left to right.

Yan Chichun, Bai Linglong, and the new junior sister Xi Zhaozhao live there respectively.

It's getting very late now.

Bai Linglong took off all the makeup on her face, put on a simple and plain nightgown, and sat on her knees at the table, like a dignified lady from a noble family.

Use a sandalwood comb to comb your hair while looking at your reflection in the bronze mirror.

"It's so late, haven't you finished talking yet?"

She straightened her split hair and turned her head to glance out the window at the room where chuckles could be heard from time to time.

"Forget it, it's not like this hasn't happened before. Let's leave Zhao Zhao with some warm childhood memories~"

After Bai Linglong finished combing her hair, she put down the sandalwood comb and her white and translucent palms lightly passed over the oil lamp.

The bright room suddenly became dark.

And in the next door house.

Gu Junming sat at the head of Xi Zhaozhao's bed, telling stories of talented people and interesting things when he went down the mountain to make a living with great enthusiasm.

His eyes were filled with memories.

"Ha~" Xi Zhaozhao smacked her lips due to her sleepiness. More than 90% of her body was covered by the warm quilt, leaving only her head and two little hands holding the edge of the quilt exposed.

She stretched out a hand and gently pushed the self-absorbed Gu Junming away, her eyes narrowed into slits.

He said sleepily:

"Big Brother, how about we stop here today?"

I saw that my junior sister was about to go to sleep.

Gu Junming smiled and nodded, then tucked in the quilt for Xi Zhaozhao warmly and gave her a bedtime blessing:

"Have a good sleep, tomorrow is a new beginning."

Just as he was about to leave, Xi Zhaozhao's childish voice rang out again, calling softly, "Big Brother."

Seeing this, Gu Junming immediately moved closer.

"I want to know, how do you distinguish between the fifth and sixth senior sisters?"

Xi Zhaozhao's eyes were clear and bright, like a gently flowing spring, and he humbly asked for advice:

"I heard from Senior Brother Nangong that the two Senior Sisters look exactly the same, so much so that the disciples often mistake them for the same person. Only you, Senior Brother, can clearly tell which is the Fifth Senior Sister and which is the Sixth Senior Sister."

“Is there any trick to this?”

“Of course there are tricks.”

Gu Junming said with some amusement:

"But why are you asking this suddenly? Are you worried about being blamed for calling me the wrong name?"

Xi Zhaozhao nodded obediently, but soon shook her head and said honestly:

"Senior Sister Nangong said that Senior Sister Five is slightly different from Senior Sister Six in terms of personality."

"I want to prepare for our future meetings and try to leave a good impression on Fifth Senior Sister."

"Is that so?" Gu Junming seemed to be thinking. "If I have to say, the one who smiles at others the first time they meet is the Sixth, the one who greets them is the Fifth, the one who is more curious is the Sixth, and the one who goes deeper into his curiosity is the Fifth..."

There were a lot of them one after another.

Xi Zhaozhao was confused by what she heard, and finally felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

I heard a soft, steady snoring sound beside me.

Gu Junming was stunned.

Only then did I realize that I was being too long-winded.

He smiled and saw that there was only a little ghee left in the oil lamp. He then looked and saw that Xi Zhaozhao had fallen asleep.

Without thinking too much, he walked out of the wooden house holding the oil lamp.

Close the door quietly.

Gu Junming held the lamp in one hand and shielded himself from the wind with the other, and hurried towards the main hall.

Suddenly remembering something, he paused.

Turned around and headed towards the North Pavilion.

At this time, Wen Zixi had not yet gone to bed. She was sitting in the North Pavilion, absorbing the moonlight and starlight.

Noticing Gu Junming's arrival, she ended her visualization state early and greeted him with a smile.

"Big Brother, what's so urgent?"

Wen Zixi smiled and said:

"Could it be that the noise of my sister coming out of confinement disturbed you, so you rushed over to inquire about the situation?"

"Huh?" Gu Junming was stunned.

"Isn't it?" Wen Zixi was suspicious.

"Forehead......"

Gu Junming looked a little embarrassed. "Yes, I think so. Did Lao Wu gain anything from this retreat?"

Wen Zixi thought to himself, this is the senior brother I have in mind, and nodded.

"Of course there is, but my sister hasn't come out yet. You can ask her in person when you have time."

"So good."

Gu Junming laughed, then told the purpose of his trip and frowned:

"Evil cultivators are rampant lately, and members of the royal family have appeared in Liuyun Township. I'm worried that the second brother's eagerness to help others will cause him a lot of trouble."

"He's probably still busy closing the net right now. I want you to stay by his side and monitor his behavior. If necessary, make amends to prevent any major mistakes!"

"now?"

Wen Zixi thought that it was late at night, and Senior Brother Xiao should be resting by now, right?

"Rest well first and come down the mountain at daybreak."

Gu Junming looked apologetic.

"My brother is ill and unable to do it himself, and the other disciples don't dare to contradict the second elder. I think only you sisters can do it for me."

The third brother Chichun and the fourth brother Gu Feiyao can also look after Xiao Jianxin on behalf of Gu Junming.

But the former has different ideas and they can only fight when they meet, while the latter is away and has yet to return.

After all these visits, only the two Wen sisters were left.

Perhaps Bai Linglong could also do this for Gu Junming, but he was more afraid that Bai Linglong would join Xiao Jianxin.

"It's a small matter." Wen Zixi smiled, with gratitude in his eyes, and said sympathetically:

"Senior Brother has taken care of us for so long, it's time to relax."

"Just leave this matter to Junior Sister."

"Well, thank you for your hard work for now."

Gu Junming sighed softly.

He had no other choice but to resort to this last resort.

Fortunately, the Sixth Junior Sister is more obedient. If it were the Fifth Junior Sister who is devoted to the Tao, she would have to ask him why, what is the meaning of doing this, and why she does this.

Perhaps Wen Zilian will obey Gu Junming's orders in the end, but there will inevitably be some negotiation involved.

The north wind howled like a wolf.

Because we lived on the mountain, the wind was quite loud, hitting the doors and windows, causing a squeaking sound.

crackling——

Xi Zhaozhao was awakened by the sudden noise. She huddled in her quilt, looking around nervously.

With the help of a faint moonlight shining in from the window.

It turned out that a gray squirrel had slipped by and tripped over the potted plant on the windowsill.

The squirrel stood on the table with its green eyes open. It looked back at Xi Zhaozhao who had moved the quilt out of bed, then quickly picked up a piece of dried fruit and slipped away through the window.

"I was so scared, luckily it was a false alarm..."

Xi Zhaozhao stood on tiptoe and took down the oil lamp that was hung on the wall and filled with ghee.

The flames were like torches, giving her a sense of security.

"Wow, I can't hold it anymore!"

For a sect, the scale of Taiyi Sect is not small, but if this sect only has a few people, it would be too big.

As a result, Xi Zhaozhao was walking too hastily, and the moon was covered by dark clouds. Adding to that, she was a little confused, and somehow she got lost.

"Ah! Senior Sister, you haven't slept yet?"
