When Yun Yao entered, Ling Ye only looked down at the ancient book, not even raising his head, completely ignoring her presence...

Yun Yao was afraid of disturbing him and getting annoyed, but since she was already inside, she couldn't just leave. So she could only call out softly, "Master..."

Ling Ye slightly raised his eyes, his expression somewhat cold. "What is it?"

Yun Yao originally wanted to ask him some questions, but seeing his unwelcoming attitude, she swallowed the words she was about to say...

Ling Ye spoke first, his tone icy, "Don't embarrass me during the big exam three months from now."

"……Yes."

She should ask Gu Yichen if she doesn't understand something in the future; at least the male lead has a good temper and is patient.

"And..." Ling Ye glanced at her, a hint of disgust in his eyes, as if she were something filthy, "Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"...Yes." She had expected her master to dislike her, but she hadn't imagined he would dislike her this much...

When she first met him, he treated her quite gently.

Perhaps it's because she caused trouble as soon as she arrived?

Or perhaps it was because someone reported her for seducing Gu Yichen, making him think she was immoral?

I've already explained it; it was just a misunderstanding...

But if it were the female lead, Pei Liyun, who reported it, he would probably only believe the female lead and not her.

In his eyes, she was merely a medicinal ingredient for the female lead, so why should he treat her well?

Yun Yao secretly resolved to avoid visiting this master in the future if possible.

Pei Liyun, who had been waiting at the door, scoffed when she saw Yun Yao come out so quickly, "I knew you had nothing to ask. Master is so busy, how dare you bother him?"

Yun Yao frowned, wondering why the female lead was always targeting her.

Furthermore, shouldn't this kind of person-targeting behavior be something that a vicious supporting female character should be doing? Why is the female lead competing with a supporting female character for her job?

"Senior sister, if you have nothing to do, how about I ask you a few questions?"

Pei Liyun would never guide her in cultivation. It would be best if she failed the major exam in three months and was kicked out of the Yuling Sect. "Who said I'm idle? I'm very busy."

Yun Yao watched the female lead's departing figure without hesitation and sighed that she was finally gone.

The next three months.

Yun Yao attends classes every day, and after class, she goes to Gu Yichen to ask for advice on problems encountered during her cultivation.

Occasionally, Feng Moran would drag her out to practice swordsmanship with him.

However, while it's called sword practice... it's more like she's being fed the moves by herself, so she can become more proficient in the basic sword techniques of the Spirit Control Sect more quickly.

The original owner also had good physical aptitude. In the first month, he successfully entered the Qi Refining stage.

By the end of the third month, they had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Feng Moran never expected that she could reach the Foundation Establishment stage in just three months. He had originally planned to use rare and precious materials to boost her cultivation, but now it seems that he doesn't need to.

"I was worried about you, but judging from your performance, you'll definitely pass this big exam smoothly."

Pei Liyun made a sarcastic remark from the side, "He's just at the Foundation Establishment stage, what's so great about that?"

Gu Yichen disagreed, saying, "Junior sister, it took you a whole year to go from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Pei Liyun pouted, "I was young back then!"

While busy slinging the sword to his waist, Feng Moran couldn't help but mock Pei Liyun, "Junior sister, what are you saying? Yun Yao was even younger than you were back then."

Pei Liyun was furious when she saw that both of them were speaking up for Yun Yao, and she poured out her grievances.

"Hmph, when I was cultivating, I asked you, my senior brother, for help, but you ignored me and only cared about your own cultivation. And my second senior brother, you never taught me any moves either."

Feng Moran spoke without any concern for whether it would touch a nerve, "Junior sister, you're so weak. What if I accidentally hurt you while teaching you some moves? I don't want to be locked up in solitary confinement."

Pei Liyun's report on Yun Yao's seduction of Gu Yichen is both overt and covert.

Pei Liyun was so angry that she shouted that she would go to her master for justice.

Feng Moran didn't indulge her. "Go ahead, but I forgot to tell you, Master is currently in seclusion..."

While the two were exchanging barbs, Gu Yichen grabbed Yun Yao's wrist, signaling her to leave through the side path.

Yun Yao nodded and followed him.

"Next month, the sect is going on a training expedition. Shall we go together?"

"I've only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and I'm already going to go on training?"

"It's precisely because you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage that you need to undergo more training; otherwise, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation level. Besides, it's just a small secret realm, not dangerous."

"Oh."

On the day of the big exam.

When Yun Yao came out after the exam, she ran into Ling Ye.

Judging from the looks of it, he has just come out of seclusion. Let's see how he performs in the major test for new disciples.

We just happened to miss it.

"Master." Yun Yao bowed her head in greeting.

"Hmm," Ling Ye glanced at her once, then slowly walked past her and went inside.

He probably wouldn't have come to this major exam if it weren't for the requirement that all the masters be present.

Yun Yao touched the silver sword tassel placed in the pocket at her waist...

She bought the sword tassel a few days ago when she and Feng Moran went to the market.

The moment she first saw the silver sword tassel, she felt it suited Ling Ye perfectly.

But... I just can't send them out!

Feng Moran calculated the time she would finish her exams and came to pick her up.

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

"nothing……"

"Oh, I thought you were thinking about how to give away your sword tassel."

“…”, Yun Yao looked up and glanced at Feng Moran in surprise.

Feng Moran pursed her lips, revealing a hint of displeasure. "Gu Yichen never uses that kind of thing, so it's useless for you to give it to him."

"Who said I gave it to him?" She almost thought Feng Moran had some kind of mind-reading ability and could guess what she was thinking.

Feng Moran couldn't help but smile. "Wasn't it a gift for him?"

Since it wasn't given to Gu Yichen, then it must be for him.

He didn't spoil her for nothing.

But why be so particular about the occasion when giving it to him...? Why not just give it to him directly?

Although the color is barely acceptable, since she chose it, we can make do with it.

"I gave this to my master."

"What?!" Feng Moran's joy was quickly ruined by her.

Yun Yao didn't realize Feng Moran's thoughts, only thinking that he was wondering why she would give Ling Ye something. "I think this color suits him very well."

Feng Moran was furious. It was one thing that she couldn't even have him in her head, but why did she only ever talk about other people's names?

I really want to tear your mouth apart!

"..."

From that day onward.

Feng Moran stopped looking for her.

When I occasionally saw him, he was chatting and laughing with the disciples of the sect, and of course, he talked to women more often.

Rumors began to circulate within the sect.

It is said that after this stranger and she had sex, he became interested in matters of love and began to frequent brothels.

She's portrayed as some seasoned womanizer who seduces innocent young men.

They even have detailed versions; the fake ones are presented as if they were the real ones.

Yun Yao only had to put the sect's entry and exit token back in the management office to receive a lot of strange looks.
