Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Jing Shu continued reading, and Gu Meng continued to recount the events of each day, but her master was no longer mentioned in her words, up until today's news.

[Senior brother, I've already reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment! Today, our eldest brother is taking me down the mountain for training. If you come back, there won't be anyone left on Cold Peak.]

Senior brother, when are you coming back? Meng'er wants to eat your cooking. If Meng'er comes back and sees both senior brother and master back, and senior brother has even prepared my favorite candied hawthorns, Meng'er will be super happy!

"You greedy little girl." Jing Shu smiled helplessly. Since that's the case, he decided not to tell them he was going back soon and give Meng'er a surprise.

But why hasn't Master returned to the Cloud Burial Sect after investigating the divine artifact for two years?

Jing Shu pondered for a moment and decided to contact his master. The light on the jade slip flickered slightly, but there was no response.

Unable to reach him? Jing Shu raised an eyebrow. Could it be that his master is busy? Or has he entered the secret realm again?

"How about we go find him?" the Nascent Soul suggested.

Jing Shu picked up the tea on the table, sipped it slowly, and said calmly.

"I heard that a divine artifact appeared in the world two years ago."

Upon hearing this, the maid who had been standing to the side with her head down raised her head and continued speaking very tactfully.

"Yes, guest. Two years ago, the spiritual energy in the Kunlun Mountains surged, and it was said that a new divine artifact was about to be born. However, when various forces rushed to the scene, they did not find any trace of the artifact, and the matter was left unresolved."

As the largest trading company on the entire continent, Jin Yi Trading Company is naturally very well-informed, since some people would sell information to the company in exchange for spirit stones or other things.

Jing Shu's lavish spending here had made him a VIP of Jin Yi Trading Company. The maid naturally informed Jing Shu of this insignificant detail.

"So the appearance of the divine artifact was a hoax?"

The maid shook her head. "No one has seen the so-called divine artifact, but all the signs in the Kunlun Mountains are the same as when the divine artifact was rumored to have appeared in the Yao Guang Secret Realm. I heard that even Immortal Venerable Han Luo went there."

The maid didn't know if it was true or false, and since Immortal Venerable Hanluo had also gone there, it seemed even more real.

After listening, Jing Shu remained silent. It seemed that his master had indeed gone to investigate the emergence of the divine artifact and had not returned to the Cloud Burial Sect afterward, perhaps having gone elsewhere.

“Master is probably no longer in the Kunlun Mountains; we can’t find him,” Jing Shu replied to the Nascent Soul cultivator. “Let’s go back to the sect first.”

The Nascent Soul cultivator nodded. The thought of finding his master was subconscious, but if he actually tried, how could he possibly find him? It would be better to return to the sect and wait.

"Brother!" Jingyou walked in after selecting his items, holding a new communication jade slip in his hand. The previous one had long been destroyed by Jingyou along with everything given to him by Yaoyang Sect.

Before the robes were even finished, Jingyou picked out an ordinary outfit to change into. He had just burned all the previous disciple robes.

Jingyou turned around in front of Jingshu, showing off the light blue outfit he had chosen, "Isn't it good-looking!"

Jing Shu nodded. "It looks much better than that yellow one."

Jingyou gave it a big thumbs up, "I think so too! Yaoyang Sect's aesthetic sense is terrible. When I wore that outfit before, I felt like a walking pile of shit!"

"..."

Jing Shu choked, realizing there was no need to berate himself like that...

The maid beside her bit down hard on the soft flesh in her mouth to keep herself from laughing.

Jingyou didn't seem to think anything of it and handed the communication jade slip in his hand to Jingshu. "Brother, add me!"

Jing Shu picked up his communication jade slip and touched it with Jing You's; the other's name appeared in their contact lists.

Jingyou put the jade slip back into his storage bag with satisfaction, sat down next to Jingshu, took out two peaches from his storage bag, and handed one to Jingshu.

"How many did you buy?" Jing Shu took the peach. He remembered that there were already three or four peach pits at Jing You's feet when they were at the town gate.

"Only twenty or thirty." Jingyou took a bite of the peach and thought for a moment.

Jing Shu looked at Jing You and suddenly asked the maid.

"Has anything major happened to the Yaoyang Sect in the last five years?"

The maid pondered for a moment, "The Radiant Sun Sect..."

"It seems like nothing... Ah! I remember now, five years ago, the sect leader of Yaoyang Sect suddenly announced the stripping of his son Zheng Hongliang's status as the young sect leader and expulsion from Yaoyang Sect. It seems that it was because Zheng Hongliang harmed his fellow disciples. However, his spirit tablet has been extinguished, and he has long been dead. Two years ago, a new young sect leader was chosen."

This was common knowledge, but the two looked like they had just come from some secret realm. Some secret realms could be entered for three to five years. One of them was wearing the disciple's robes of the Yaoyang Sect when he came in, so he must be a disciple of the Yaoyang Sect. He probably wanted to ask if anything major had happened in the sect in the past five years. Therefore, the maid did not suspect anything, and she had no idea that the person she said was dead was sitting alive and well in front of her.

Jingyou wasn't surprised by the first part of the story. Zheng Hongtian didn't love him, so it wasn't surprising that he would do something like this. However, he was clearly still alive, so why was it said that the spirit tablet had gone out? He didn't believe that person had taken pity on him and stopped those people from hunting him down. After all, his status as the young sect leader had hindered many others back then.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave now," Jing Shu said calmly.

The maid bowed to the two of them, turned around and left, closing the door behind her and leaving them alone.

"When are you going to take revenge? I'll go with you." Jing Shu slowly peeled off the peach skin and said unhurriedly.

Even though he is only at the Golden Core stage now, it would be no problem for him to infiltrate the Yaoyang Sect and kill a few people without anyone noticing.

Jingyou swallowed the peach in his mouth. "There's no rush. I know you really want to see Immortal Venerable Hanluo right now. Don't waste your time on those people."

Although Jingyou really wanted revenge, it was a secondary matter compared to his brother's.

"Judging by the time, there's less than a year until the six major sects will hold their sect competition together. Anyway, I no longer have the identity of a Yaoyang Sect disciple, so just give me the identity of a Yunzang Sect disciple when the time comes, and I'll personally go and collect my debts from them."

A cold glint flashed in Jingyou's eyes. He was now Jingshu's younger brother, and he would always consider Jingshu first in everything he did.

Those people will definitely sign up for the sect competition, and he'll have plenty of ways to humiliate them then. Besides, killing them outright would be too easy on them.

Jing Shu nodded. "It's good that you have your own ideas. Don't worry about implicating me. I am Master's disciple, and they are not worthy."

Jing Shu was not exaggerating; this confidence came from his master.

However, he should also let the world know that he is not a weak cultivator with light spiritual roots, but has cultivation and methods!
