The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Rong Xuan noticed Wen Fuyue's hesitation and was somewhat puzzled.

Although she couldn't understand it, Rong Xuan still walked to Wen Fuyue's side and said, "Master, why don't you rest for a while? The sect leader has also sent disciples from the Enforcement Hall to search a wide area. We might get news of Junior Brother Mu soon."

Wen Fuyue reached out to stop him, and after a moment of struggle, she took out a jade life tablet from her sleeve and placed it on the strangely colored little beast.

Wen Fuyue's movements made Rong Xuan look over, and his gaze immediately fell on the unbearable little beast beside Yun Yici's pillow.

Rong Xuan's lips twitched, unable to bear looking closely, and she said tactfully, "This spirit beast... has a rather unique appearance."

Yun Yici didn't know if Wen Fuyue was determined to keep it from Rong Xuan, so she could only turn her head, cough lightly, and remain silent.

To the surprise of both her and Rong Xuan, the jade pendant that Wen Fuyue had attached to the little beast emitted a beautiful light.

The life tablet, refined with the essence of Mu Yunjian's blood, actually reacted to this little beast!

Rong Xuan looked surprised and asked, "Master, this, this is Junior Brother Mu? What exactly did that demon do to Junior Brother Mu?"

If Mu Yunjian were in its original color, he could recognize at a glance that Mu Yunjian's prototype was the E's Beast that Wen Fuyue had asked him to raise for a period of time.

But the young beast in front of her had changed so much that even Wen Fuyue dared not recognize it.

Rong Xuan's mind had already begun to conjure up the idea of ​​possession... the boundless possibility of creating animals was dawning on him...

After all, wasn't that poor tower spirit forcibly injected into the body of a dead monster by that demon?

Wen Fuyue had no idea what had happened to her in the twilight.

He said to Rong Xuan, "Don't reveal this matter to anyone yet. Go and call Tinglan here. Also, have Elder Yan's disciples who are searching for people go back first. I have something to say to you."

Rong Xuan looked at the composed Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici with a dazed expression, but in the end, she obeyed orders and went out to find Ning Tinglan.

Yun Yici knew that Wen Fuyue had sent Rong Xuan away because she wanted to ask her something alone.

She could easily guess what would happen, such as asking her what exactly happened to Mu Yunjian, and what was the meaning behind the sword strike she made with the Huaichuan Sword.

Surprisingly, Wen Fuyue's first words were: "Thank you."

Yun Yici was stunned for a moment, then said, "Master, why do you say such things?"

Wen Fuyue looked at the resilient and obedient girl in front of her and said, "I have a good friend who is a fortune teller. He once predicted that I would only have three disciples in my life."

"In fact, after I took Lan'er under my wing, I decided to pass on my mantle to him. I really had no intention of taking on any more disciples."

Yun Yici knew that Wen Fuyue's next words were the key point, so she asked, "Then why did you agree to take me as your disciple?"

Wen Fuyue said, "Not long ago, I had a premonition that I was about to die. I was filled with fear and anxiety about the future of my three disciples. At that time, I happened to see you survive a near-death experience during the trial, which touched me. So I decided to take you under my wing."

Yun Yici did indeed accomplish what everyone thought was impossible at the time.

This time is no exception.

Wen Fuyue did not regret taking Yun Yici as her disciple, but she did regret not fulfilling her responsibilities as a master by teaching her properly.

"Therefore, I intend to have you and Tinglan learn the core techniques of the Mortal Realm lineage with me, but it's somewhat special, requiring the severing of all emotions and love..."

Before Wen Fuyue could finish speaking, Yun Yici shook her head vigorously in refusal.

Nonsense, her inability and her unwillingness are two different things.

Cutting off all emotional ties and love sounds cool.

The problem is that cultivating this technique doesn't automatically sever a cultivator's emotions and desires; rather, it's the other way around—a cultivator must sever emotions and desires in order to cultivate this technique.

Falling in love can backfire.

In Yun Yici's view, this is similar to the requirement of self-castration before practicing this skill.

The difference lies in the fact that one is physical castration of the body, while the other is magical castration of the mind.

A large part of the agonizing entanglement between the male and female leads in the story, spanning hundreds of chapters, stems from the cultivation technique Ning Tinglan practices—"If I love you, I cannot protect you; if I protect you, I cannot love you."

Yun Yici got goosebumps.

This ridiculous setting, like the rule that the mortal world doesn't accept female disciples, exists solely to create obstacles between the male and female protagonists.

No, she wants to eat meat and drink alcohol in large quantities, and curse people when she's unhappy. Cutting off all feelings and love doesn't suit her.

Wen Fuyue was immediately at a loss for words, saying, "I have started to study and improve this technique in recent years, and it is not that scary."

Yun Yici said, "Even if I don't learn the techniques of the mortal world, I will still ask my master if there is anything I don't understand."

She didn't go before because she wasn't good enough at studying and was afraid of being exposed, but now she's almost there.

Wen Fuyue didn't insist after hearing this. Yun Yici had been living with him on the main peak, but he never saw her come to ask him for advice, so he always felt that the two of them were somewhat estranged.

However, this was his first time taking on a female apprentice, and he was unsure about the boundaries of the relationship between a male and female master and apprentice.

He asked this question because Yun Yici had demonstrated extraordinary talent in the Buddha-Demon Tower incident.

Thinking of the Buddha-Demon Tower, Wen Fuyue said solemnly, "Since you are unwilling, I will not force you."

"During the days you were unconscious, due to the matter of the Buddha-Demon Tower and the unusual movements of all the sect's spiritual swords, the Huaichuan Sword was temporarily placed in the Sword Pavilion for inspection. I will go and retrieve it for you later."

Upon hearing the news about Huai Chuan, Yun Yici was overjoyed.

She had originally wanted to ask about Huaichuan, but she was hesitant to do so because of the matter at Muyun.

"What's wrong with Huai Chuan? Does the sword also need to be inspected?" Yun Yici suddenly felt a little guilty.

Wen Fuyue said, "It's just a routine investigation."

This battle threw the entire Nanhua Sect into chaos.

When something like this happens, a post-incident investigation is unavoidable.

Besides Huai Chuan, Xie Qianjue was also investigated.

The investigation into Huai Chuan was to prevent a recurrence of the situation where Huai Chuan absconded with the swords of all the sword cultivators of the Nan Hua Sect.

Xie Qianjue performed exceptionally well this time and made a great contribution by giving an early warning. He has already been reinstated as a personal disciple. Yan Jing only asked a few routine questions about how he discovered that there was a demon inside the Buddha Demon Tower.

As for Yun Yici, she was protected by Wen Fuyue, and even the routine questioning was skipped.

Moreover, her earth-shattering sword strike was evident to all, and Gu Ruyi did not want to discourage her outstanding disciples, so she let the Medical Peak pick out the best spiritual herbs and medicines for free.

Yun Yici only realized after hearing the story that so much had happened while she was unconscious.

Wen Fuyue added, "Now that your senior brother is with you, you should know his identity, right?"

Yun Yici nodded and said, "I understand. By the way, the color on Senior Brother's body must have gotten from the dye in my bag. It will fade away after a while."

Wen Fuyue originally only wanted Mu Yunjian to survive, so she couldn't help but feel happy when she heard Yun Yici say that.

When Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan arrived, they saw this scene of the master and disciple chatting happily.

Upon seeing the two of them, Wen Fuyue closed the doors and windows tightly, solemnly lifted the yellow rabbit beside Yun Yici's pillow, and said, "This is the true form of your fellow disciple."

Ning Tinglan: Oh no, Master has gone crazy because he can't find anyone.
