Seeing Tang Xinyan's confused expression, Lu Chuan'an brought her to his side and explained with a smile:

"Junior Sister, unless there are special circumstances, Master will not give us special instruction. He will only check on our cultivation progress every month."

Tang Xinyan nodded knowingly, thanked Lu Chuan'an, and then turned to look at Yun Xingnan in the arena. Tang Xinyan thought he was extremely handsome.

She didn't really understand the rest. After Yun Xingnan sheathed her sword, Xiao Yimo stepped forward, activated the protective shield, and took out his sword to exchange blows with Yun Xingnan.

Both of them used their spiritual power this time. Tang Xinyan felt dizzy; the spiritual power inside the protective shield exploded like fireworks, making it impossible for her to see anything, let alone their movements.

Tang Xinyan could only watch the spectacle, and looking at Lu Chuan'an and Ji Zeyang watching intently on the side, she felt that the gap between them was indeed too great.

After the two stopped, Yun Xingnan, who had bruises on his body, didn't even look at them. He listened attentively as Xiao Yimo pointed out his problems.

When Yun Xingnan left the court to treat her injury, Lu Chuan'an naturally took her place, followed by Ji Zeyang, and finally, when it was her turn...

Xiao Yimo hesitated for a moment, but still asked:

Has Yan Yan started practicing swordsmanship?

Xiao Yimo wanted to ask how the sword practice was going, but he felt that the child was still young and already so enthusiastic about training, so he shouldn't put more pressure on him.

So he changed his words at the last minute, and Tang Xinyan nodded obediently:

"Reporting to Master, we have basically mastered it."

Xiao Yimo was somewhat surprised, but since he had already practiced it, it was necessary to check it out, so he said:

"Alright, then show me the sword moves you've practiced."

"Yes."

Tang Xinyan drew her sword, walked to the center of the square, and carefully practiced all the basic sword moves.

After Tang Xinyan sheathed her sword, Xiao Yimo couldn't help but praise her:

"Very good. Apart from lacking strength, the moves are very standard. However, Xin Xin is still young, so it's normal for her to lack strength."

"Thank you, Master. I will practice more."

Hearing Xiao Yimo say it was standard, Tang Xinyan felt relieved. She had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time, afraid that her practice wouldn't be up to standard.

********

After that, Tang Xinyan's life became more stable. She spent her days cultivating within the Realm of Fate, and listened to her master's teachings once a month.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Although Tang Xinyan hasn't seen her senior brothers much in the past two years, they have gradually become familiar with each other.

She was especially close to Lu Chuan'an; every time after checking her homework, Lu Chuan'an would escort her home, and he never saw her coming down the mountain.

Worried that her constant consumption of fasting pills would be detrimental to her health, he would always buy a lot of prepared spiritual food whenever he returned from a trip.

Since they're stored in the preservation ring, they won't spoil no matter how long they're kept. After Yun Xingnan and Ji Zeyang found out, they often came to bring some over.

Tang Xinyan felt touched and wanted to reciprocate, but unfortunately she was still young and could only wait until she was old enough to go out and gain experience.

Gu Moxu hasn't returned yet, but he occasionally sends messages to Tang Xinyan and also sends her things through the ear drill space.

Tang Xinyan also understood that the black teleportation array was just as she had thought, allowing them to teleport between each other.

Now that Tang Xinyan has reached the Foundation Establishment stage and learned to fly on a sword, coupled with the trump card of the Fate Realm, she can be considered to have some ability to protect herself.

Tang Xinyan felt it was time to go to the bottom of the Cliff of Repentance. After all, Liu Yinyin hadn't obtained the Fate Realm, and under normal circumstances, she would definitely participate in the recruitment a year later.

Furthermore, given the protagonist's halo, Liu Yinyin might very well obtain the "Nine-Story Glazed Pagoda" soon, so it's safest for her to get it as soon as possible.

However, she had to find a time when none of her senior brothers were around, otherwise if they insisted on going with her, or if they found out she was late in returning, it would be really hard to explain.

Tang Xinyan was calculating her plans meticulously, but she ultimately underestimated the extent of Xiao Yimo's concern for her...

A few days later, something came up within the White Tiger Clan, and Lu Chuan'an needed to return home. Yun Xingnan wanted to visit the Demon Clan, so he went with Lu Chuan'an.

Ji Zeyang had not yet returned from his training trip, and Tang Xinyan exclaimed that it was as if heaven was helping her. So, early the next morning, she changed into her disciple's robes and left Yunxue Peak.

Tang Xinyan planned to go to the Hall of Affairs first to collect her cultivation resources for the next two years. That way, if her master asked about it upon her return, she would have an excuse.

What she didn't expect was that her master, who had always let them roam freely, sent a wisp of his divine consciousness to follow her the moment she stepped off the peak.

Xiao Yimo thought that although it was within his own sect, and ordinary disciples wouldn't easily provoke a personal disciple,

But his little apprentice was too young, and a girl at that, so he was afraid that some fool might bully her.

Along the way, her distinctive red disciple uniform and petite, adorable appearance certainly attracted the attention of many disciples.

However, since everyone recognized the personal disciple's waist tag, and almost everyone knew that she had been taken in by Xiao Yimo, no one dared to do anything about it.

At most, they talked about it amongst themselves; some were envious, some were jealous, some admired—there were all sorts of opinions. Tang Xinyan pretended not to hear anything.

She went straight to the Deacon's Hall, and coincidentally, it was Elder Qin again. Elder Qin recognized Tang Xinyan at a glance and greeted her with a smile.

"It's Junior Sister Tang! It's been two years since I last saw her. She's grown quite a bit taller and has even reached the fifth level of Qi Refining! That's really impressive."

Tang Xinyan smiled sweetly and greeted them in return:

"Long time no see, Elder Qin. You haven't changed at all; you're still as energetic as ever."

Elder Qin's smile widened, and he took out the booklet, chuckling as he said:

"Junior Sister Tang, are you here to collect cultivation resources?"

Tang Xinyan nodded: "Yes."

Elder Qin carefully checked and fiddled with the storage bag for a while before handing it to Tang Xinyan:

"Here it is, take a look."

"Alright, thank you Elder Qin."

After Tang Xinyan signed and left, a disciple who had also come to collect resources asked Elder Qin curiously:

"Elder Qin, was that junior uncle just now the same child that the Supreme Elder took in two years ago?"

Elder Qin resumed his serious expression and looked at his disciples, replying:

"Yes."

Then came a few more reflections:

"As expected of the person favored by the Supreme Elder, he has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining in just two years."

The people asking the questions were all inner disciples, and they had all been disciples for at least five years. However, the highest level of cultivation among them was only the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Look at them, they're so much younger than them, and they've reached the same cultivation level as them after only two years of training. How can anyone not be envious? Sigh, it's true that comparisons are odious.

Seeing the envy on their faces, Elder Qin offered a brief explanation:

"Even geniuses need to work hard. As far as I know, since becoming a disciple, Junior Sister Tang has only gone down the mountain once, during the initial registration."
