So he reluctantly tried to accept it...

wrong!

Qi Yan mentally slapped himself. Yun Zhao was his enemy. How could he forget his hatred just because of a few words from her?

Maybe, maybe she's just acting this time!

For no apparent reason, Yun Zhao discovered that Qi Yan was ignoring her again.

but……

[Affection +1, Current Affection 2]

Oh, you're just saying one thing and meaning another!

Master Hanyue only escorted them to the bottom of Qingyun Peak: "Zhaozhao, take good care of yourself. Your master has gone back to seclusion. If Song Zhiyuan bullies you again, send a message to your master."

Yun Zhao obediently agreed, and after Han Yue Zhenren left, she pulled Qi Yan into the house.

"I was scared to death just now!"

Yun Zhao plopped down on the stool and gulped down two cups of cold tea.

Qi Yan leaned casually against the wall. "Then why are you still protecting me? Aren't you afraid that if I'm exposed by the demon-revealing mirror, you'll be mistaken for my accomplice?"

Yun Zhao thought to himself, "I have a system to help me conceal your aura, so of course I'm not afraid."

But she said, "Didn't I say I would protect you? I can't go back on my word. Besides, you're so powerful that you know how to conceal your aura. You'll definitely be able to dodge the Demon-Revealing Mirror."

"So I'm not afraid!"

Yun Zhao stared at Qi Yan with bright eyes and asked, "A Yan, you weren't flustered at all just now. Did you have some way of hiding it from the Demon-Revealing Mirror?"

Indeed there is.

But why would he tell Yun Zhao?

This is his trump card.

But under Yun Zhao's bright, star-like gaze, he subconsciously replied, "Yes."

Yun Zhao pressed further, "What method is it?"

Qi Yan realized he had misspoke and snorted coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

Yun Zhao wasn't annoyed, and said with a smile, "Then what technique did you use to conceal your aura? That's amazing!"

Speaking of this, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't mention his rebirth, Qi Yan would have boasted about it to her.

He had stolen this cultivation technique in his previous life, right under Song Zhiyuan's nose, and he was overjoyed for days.

Seeing that Yun Zhao was genuinely curious, Qi Yan brought up the matter of becoming a disciple in order to divert her attention: "You said before that you would take me as your disciple on behalf of your father. I know it was just a temporary measure, so let's pretend you never said that."

“That won’t do,” Yun Zhao said, dissatisfied. “The words have already been spoken; how can we go back on our word?”

The reasons for taking on a disciple were twofold: first, to ensure Qi Yan had a legitimate status within the Qingyun Sect; and second, to fulfill the original owner's father's dying wish to have a disciple with a wind spirit root to inherit his mantle.

Thirdly, if Qi Yan became her junior brother, wouldn't their relationship become even closer? It would be easier to increase her favorability in the future.

Mainly for the sake of gaining favor, Yun Zhao was determined to make this happen, so he shamelessly made Qi Yan acknowledge it.

In order to infiltrate Yun Zhao's inner circle and seek revenge, Qi Yan... endured it!

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Yun Zhao dragged Qi Yan to kowtow three times in front of the memorial tablet, which was considered a formal apprenticeship.

Yun Zhao handed the cultivation manual that he had taken out earlier to Qi Yan: "This is a gift for your apprenticeship, given to you on behalf of my father."

Strangely enough, she called out "Dad" very naturally, as if she had called it many times before.

But how could someone like her have parents?

Because of her unlucky constitution, she brought misfortune to her relatives and friends and lived alone until the system bound her to her, at which point she had a chance to get rid of her unlucky constitution.

Yun Zhao secretly made up his mind that he must seize this opportunity!

"Senior Sister Zhao Zhao, Senior Sister Mu is looking for you."

The junior disciple's voice rang out from outside the door. Yun Zhaohua took a few seconds to recall who "Senior Sister Mu" was, then told Qi Yan to go back to her room while she went with the junior disciple to see Mu Qianqian.

Mu Qianqian is Hanyue Zhenren's disciple, and she has a bad relationship with the original owner of this body; they are practically enemies.

Upon arriving at Mu Qianqian's room, the disciple whispered, "Senior Sister, be careful. I think Senior Sister Mu doesn't look too well."

"I understand," Yun Zhao patted her little head, "Go play."

The young disciple nodded, but she didn't leave until Yun Zhao entered the room.

Her feeling yesterday was right; Senior Sister Zhao Zhao... seems a little different.

"Senior Sister Mu, you were looking for me?"

As soon as Yun Zhao entered the room, a teacup flew out from inside. She dodged to the side, barely avoiding it.

Although this body possesses Foundation Establishment cultivation, she is not yet proficient in it, and her movement techniques are not very skilled.

Yun Zhao's face darkened: "Senior Sister Mu, if you have something to say, just say it. Our Qingyun Peak teacups are very expensive!"

But as soon as she entered, she saw that Mu Qianqian's eyes were swollen, clearly indicating that she had been crying.

Yun Zhao looked completely bewildered.

No.

Was I the one who got the cup thrown at?

Mu Qianqian choked up and said, "Yun Zhao, you've really gone too far!"

"I?"

Yun Zhao pointed to herself: "How did I go too far? Senior Sister Mu, I don't think I bullied you, did I?"

"He didn't bully me," Mu Qianqian said resentfully, "but Master was originally in seclusion, and he suddenly went out at a critical moment just now. When he came back, his old injury flared up again. Are you saying it wasn't your fault?!"

Yun Zhao gasped, "How could this be..."

"Of course it is! In the past, when you caused trouble, your master would clean up after you. Whatever you wanted, your master would find a way to get it for you, and..."

Mu Qianqian rattled off a long string of words, finally angrily asking, "But you weren't in any danger today, so why did Master come looking for you?"

News of what happened in the council hall had not yet spread, so Mu Qianqian was unaware of it.

Yun Zhao thought for a moment and then told Mu Qianqian what had happened.

Mu Qianqian was taken aback: "You've fallen for someone else?"

Yun Zhao corrected her: "It's not that I fell in love with someone else. Song Zhiyuan and I have never been in a relationship."

"Your focus seems a bit off, doesn't it?"

Shouldn't a normal person be concerned about Qi Yan's identity?

Mu Qianqian snorted: "What do you care what I care about? As long as you don't like Song Zhiyuan, that's all that matters."

“You chase after Song Zhiyuan, trying to please him, but he just tries to appease you. Yet you treat him like a treasure.”

"It's just a pity for my master. All the things you want are things that Song Zhiyuan needs. Master gives you the things, and you turn around and give them to Song Zhiyuan."

“However,” Mu Qianqian said suspiciously, “you’re not deliberately ignoring Song Zhiyuan because he’s getting close to that new disciple, are you?”

Mu Qianqian strongly suspected that if Song Zhiyuan beckoned to her and said a few nice words, Yun Zhao would cling to him again.

“How could that be?” Yun Zhao retorted. “I would never do that. How could that hypocrite and scoundrel be worthy of me?”

Seeing her so confident, Mu Qianqian reluctantly believed her.

and many more.

She had come to vent her anger because she saw her master's old injury had relapsed, but she didn't expect Yun Zhao to not argue with her.

Mu Qianqian immediately became wary: "Are you really Yun Zhao?"

Yun Zhao's heart pounded with alarm, but she remained calm and asked, "What are you saying, Senior Sister Mu? If I'm not Yun Zhao, then who am I?"

Mu Qianqian looked her up and down. "Ever since Yun Zhao fell in love with Song Zhiyuan, she hasn't called me 'Senior Sister,' but you called me 'Senior Sister' as soon as you came in..."

With a "whoosh," she drew her spirit sword, pointed it at Yun Zhao, and said, "Who are you? Why are you possessing Yun Zhao's body!"
