The next morning, before Yun Yici had even opened her eyes, she felt a soft, fluffy thing in her hand.

The soft, warm touch made her want to squeeze it. When she regained her senses and realized what it was, she was so frightened that she quickly sat up in bed and held the poor little rabbit, which was lying flat on its limbs, in her hands.

"Oh no, oh no! I originally said that this was a gift from Master and should not be taken lightly. I put it on the ground, but I was afraid that it would fall and get hurt if I put it on the table because it was too high. So I specially put it on the bed with a soft cushion."

"Could it be that I accidentally stepped on it while moving too much last night?"

Yun Yici shakily reached out and placed her hand against the baby rabbit's mouth and nose, only feeling relieved after confirming that it was still breathing.

She let out a long sigh of relief, just as she was about to find a proper place to put it in the room, when the system spoke up.

"This little E's beast woke up last night, and for some reason, its favorability towards Mu Yunjian changed from 0 to -5 after it woke up."

"But we've never seen Mu Yunjian, and I didn't detect any Luck Users last night."

Yun Yici stared in astonishment at the small beast, which was curled up in her palm and sleeping soundly. It was no bigger than her palm. Suddenly, she began to question the meaning of life.

Mu Yunjian is an extremely vicious and yandere villain. His prototype is said to be a white auspicious beast, such as a phoenix or a qilin.

The one in her hand looks so weak, helpless, and pitiful; it just doesn't seem like it could be.

She said to the system in her mind, "How many days have I been asleep? Report my current luck value."

The system said, "A good balance of work and rest is essential for achieving twice the results with half the effort."

Yun Yici had intended to sleep for several days and nights, but unexpectedly only one night had passed.

But that's fine too. She's new here, so she should take advantage of these few days of free time to go out and explore, get familiar with the sect's environment, and meet people along the way.

The system continued: "Currently, Xie Shiqing's favorability is 80, Ning Tinglan's favorability is 40, Xie Qianjue's favorability is 30, Rong Xuan's favorability is 5, and Mu Yunjian's favorability is -5, which is equivalent to 15 points of luck value."

"Remaining rewards: Noob Aura x1, Imprisoning the Boss x1"

Yun Yici's eyelids twitched. What the heck is this about imprisoning a big shot x1?

She thought for a moment and then asked to confirm, "What state is Senior Shen in now? Could it be that he was also trapped in my dream during the day when I wasn't sleeping?"

That would be such a terrible thing; she had to find a way to release him as soon as possible.

System: "Your dream is the medium of communication. The fact that you are awake means that the dream no longer exists, and it has naturally returned to where it belongs."

Relieved, Yun Yici got up and properly settled the still-sleeping rabbit. She then changed into a brand-new outfit she had bought the day before going to pay her respects to Wen Fuyue.

The air in the mountain forest was fresh in the morning. Perhaps because of the year-round snow cover, she hardly saw any birds or animals in the forest along the way.

Her residence wasn't too far from Wen Fuyue's; it was just a short walk away.

When Yun Yici arrived, Wen Fuyue was practicing her sword in the woods.

Contrary to her expectations that a high-level cultivator could unleash devastating power with a mere flick of his sleeve, his sword blended seamlessly with its surroundings, making his sword aura almost imperceptible, much like that of an ordinary swordsman in the mortal world.

Avenue to Jane.

The word suddenly flashed through Yun Yici's mind.

She was about to watch him practice his sword again when Wen Fuyue, who had already noticed her, put away her sword.

Wen Fuyue walked slowly closer and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

Yun Yi bowed to him as a disciple and said, "I should have come to greet Master yesterday, but I was delayed by various matters on the first day."

Wen Fuyue smiled and said, "My Wangchen Peak doesn't have so many rules, you don't need to be so reserved. You don't need to come and greet me every day unless there's something important to say."

After he finished speaking, his gaze naturally fell on Yun Yici's brand-new but simple Buddhist robes.

Due to the taboo against keeping things separate between men and women, Wen Fuyue didn't say much, but she was satisfied in her heart.

The master and disciple exchanged a few words while standing, and Wen Fuyue took the initiative to walk into the depths of the mountain forest, with Yun Yici quickly following behind him.

Only then did she realize that behind Wangchen Peak was a proud bamboo forest, and further up there was a pavilion for people to rest, with a stone table and four stone benches in the middle.

After the master and disciple sat down, Yun Yici looked around and found that the view was excellent, with several nearby mountain peaks in sight.

Wen Fuyue pointed to several mountain peaks in the distance and said, "That is your eldest brother's cave dwelling, and your third brother lives here."

Yun Yici nodded and then asked, "Where does Second Senior Brother live?"

Wen Fuyue paused for a moment and said, "On that lonely peak in the far north, he was injured while traveling some time ago, and I haven't seen him for quite some time."

Yun Yici originally wanted to find out the relationship between the E's beast and Mu Yun.

She suspected that the E's Beast was the true form of Mu Yunjian, and that Wen Fuyue, who gave the E's Beast to her, must know something.

But now Wen Fuyue's answer made her a little uncertain again.

Yun Yici said, "So that's how it is."

As she spoke, she brushed away the glistening snowflakes on the table and took out some tea snacks that she had packed from the teahouse the day before, placing them on the table.

She said somewhat shyly, "Yesterday, my eldest brother accompanied me down the mountain to do some shopping. I was thinking of returning the favor after Master and my two senior brothers gave me gifts, but I didn't know what you all liked."

"I happened to run into Junior Brother Xie, and we went to a teahouse for a while. I found the tea and snacks there quite good, so I brought some back for you to try."

Seeing the pattern on the oil paper wrapping the pastries, Wen Fuyue exclaimed with emotion, "This shop is still around? I cultivated Taoism at the Nanhua Sect when I was young, and my master would always bring back sweets, pastries, and tea cakes from this shop for my senior sister and me whenever he came back from the mountain..."

He abruptly stopped speaking, as if he had said something he shouldn't have.

Wen Fuyue remained silent for a moment, then opened the wrapped oil paper, handed a piece to Yun Yici, and took one for herself to eat slowly.

Wen Fuyue had been practicing abstinence from grains for many years and no longer ate human food, but he ate slowly and with great care, making Yun Yici feel choked up.

She came here to find out if Mu Yunjian had any connection with her beast, but now it seems she has touched upon her master's unspeakable secret.

In fact, Yun Yici would rather send the E's Beast back directly, but considering that Wen Fuyue had only given it to her less than two days ago, sending it back so soon might affect Wen Fuyue's evaluation of her.

The master and disciple looked at each other in silence. After finishing the snack in her hand, Yun Yici very obediently got up and took her leave.

Wen Fuyue didn't try to stop her, but handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands. She also told her that Ning Tinglan had entered the sect a year earlier than her, and that they were practically contemporaries. She said that if she needed to know anything about sect affairs, she could ask him directly.

After bidding farewell to Wen Fuyue, Yun Yici did not return to the courtyard but went straight down the mountain.

The system excitedly said, "Host, should we go find Ning Tinglan or Mu Yunjian? Ning Tinglan's favorability is 40. If we raise another 10 favorability points, we can draw a prize."
