The night was long, and he had no desire to sleep.
Yun Ming had eaten and drunk his fill, and since he couldn't find his Senior Apprentice Sister, he decided to go see his two newly accepted Junior Apprentice Sisters.
As for Ling'er...
That girl was unwillingly sent back to Xiong Keke's place. Really... was sleeping with him that tempting?
The little girl thought about it every day.
Yun Ming exhaled, collected his thoughts, and knocked on the bedroom door of Qi Yun Courtyard.
The light was still on inside, and the two girls probably hadn't slept yet. Soon, footsteps could be heard.
The door creaked open slightly, and a little white-haired head slowly peeked out, "Who, who is it?"
"Of course, it's your Senior Apprentice Brother, me. It's been a few days, have you missed me, little Yi Xuan?"
Yun Ming bent down and tugged at the little girl's cheek. He usually couldn't bear to pinch Ling'er too hard, so he would take it out on Yi Xuan.
So soft.
Children's cheeks are always full of collagen.
"You've gained quite a bit of weight, you haven't shamed your Senior Apprentice Brother. Eat your fill... our mountain is rich now!"
"Hehe..."
Yi Xuan didn't struggle. Her sister usually liked to pinch her cheeks, and in her opinion, it was a way of showing affection.
And, and... Senior Apprentice Brother Yun Ming actually didn't mistake her for her sister.
When they weren't together, just looking at their figures, everyone always mistook them, although it was also because they arrived late and weren't familiar yet.
But Senior Apprentice Brother Yun Ming hadn't seen them many times either.
As for how Yun Ming distinguished them, even without looking at the tear mole at the corner of her eye, the girl who was peeking out timidly was certainly not Yi Jiang.
Oh, right, he remembered Yi Xuan also had a beautiful mole.
Where was it?
Yun Ming looked her up and down but didn't see it, so he gave up.
"Aren't you going to invite your Senior Apprentice Brother in?"
"Mm, it's cold outside, Senior Apprentice Brother, please come in."
Yi Xuan naturally took Yun Ming's hand. She was a little shy around strangers, but Senior Apprentice Brother Yun Ming wasn't an outsider; he was a good person.
A very good person.
Master Xuan Mingzi said that from now on, Yun Ming would be their master. As the saying goes, 'one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father'.
"However, Yun Ming is around your age, so just treat him as an older brother. Be a little more coquettish, your Senior Apprentice Brother is just like that..."
"He falls for it every time. Hmm... if you don't know how, just ask Ling'er~"
Xuan Mingzi had said this with a smile, stroking his beard.
So, Senior Apprentice Brother Yun Ming = older brother.
Sister also liked Senior Apprentice Brother Yun Ming very much, she probably wouldn't mind. Yi Xuan had new family members now~
..."Senior Apprentice Brother, Sister is still taking a bath, could you wait just a moment?"
She smiled brightly.
"Uh... looks like I don't need to wait. I'll go out for a bit."
"Hm?"
Yi Xuan didn't understand. She held Yun Ming's hand, not letting him leave, and followed his gaze.
It was Sister! Her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water~
Yi Jiang was only wearing her small inner clothes, quite plain, and outside she was wrapped in a long robe covering her petite body.
Her body proportions, however, were quite perfect.
A natural beauty.
"Sister, your face is so red, are you not feeling well?"
"I, I... why didn't you tell me Senior Apprentice Brother was here..."
She quickly tightened her robe, wrapping herself inside.
But at this point, she couldn't escape. After all, it was her own room, where could she run to?
But she couldn't explain it to her sister.
"Oh, Sister... Senior Apprentice Brother is here! Weren't you looking for Senior Apprentice Brother yesterday? Now we can cultivate too."
"Hehe..."
Yi Xuan looked at her sister expectantly, as if waiting for praise, and then stared at Yun Ming with anticipation.
"..."
"..."
Pfft~
Yun Ming truly couldn't hold back. This charmingly naive appearance was a world away from the cold, aloof master in the game.
After all, she was still a child.
It was Yi Jiang who, on the contrary, seemed more like an adult.
"Cough, cough... I just remembered, the bedroom light isn't off yet."
"Although we have money now, we still need to save electricity. We can't leave it on all night for nothing. I'll be right back."
Yun Ming turned and left with a smile.
"What's Senior Apprentice Brother laughing at?"
"Laughing at Yi Xuan for being a little silly."
Yi Jiang sighed faintly, quite helplessly stroking her sister's little head, and pinching her upturned nose.
"I'm not... silly..."
Yi Xuan put her hands on her hips and threw herself into her sister's arms, starting a counterattack. Yi Jiang quickly pleaded for mercy.
She didn't want to be still wearing only a few clothes and playing around with her sister when Senior Apprentice Brother returned.
Yi Jiang looked at her slender legs and flat chest, feeling a bit helpless inside.
Senior Apprentice Brother was actually laughing at her just now, wasn't he?
She had nothing to show, yet she still had to cover herself... But Senior Apprentice Brother still thoughtfully left for a moment. Senior Apprentice Brother Yun Ming was truly a good person, the best person she had ever met in her life.
"I wish I could grow up quickly..."
"Yi Xuan wants to too~"
"Then I'm really looking forward to what Yi Xuan will look like when she grows up."
"Hehe, she'll definitely be as beautiful as Sister."
Soon after, Yun Ming knocked on the door again.
He hadn't actually gone back to Guan Yun Courtyard to turn off the light. After so many years of habit, how could he genuinely forget to turn off the light?
If Senior Apprentice Sister found out he didn't turn off the light in the middle of the night... the consequences would probably not be pleasant.
Actually, it wasn't quite like that. Sleeping on Ye Qingxuan's lap was also... quite nice, it just required enduring a test.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, please come in--"
Yi Jiang gracefully opened the door, poured Yun Ming a cup of hot tea, and invited him to sit in the bedroom.
Yun Ming glanced around. There was an extra pair of dolls on the bed, which the girl Ling'er had given them. After all, as the group's darling of Yun Kui Mountain... Senior Apprentice Brother, Ye Qingxuan, Yun Ming, and even Master would secretly give the girl pocket money every day.
Yue Ling'er was actually a hidden little rich girl!
Her savings once exceeded Yun Ming's.
There was nothing he could do. To prevent Yun Ming from buying inappropriate books or engaging in illegal occupations, Ye Qingxuan had announced that she would manage his funds.
Besides the dolls, there were many other small items.
A wooden comb carved with a small bear, two slender swords suitable for women, some green plants, and many scrolls.
"It's much better than when you first arrived. It seems you're getting along well with your fellow Apprentices?"
"The Senior Apprentice Brother and Senior Apprentice Sister at the gate are very good to me and Yi Xuan."
..."Mm, except when we're fighting over meat."
Yi Xuan chimed in.
Yun Ming shook his head, smiling.
"You girl, all you remember is eating."
"Senior Apprentice Brother lied... I thought I'd get to eat char siu bao every meal."
"You've learned to talk back. I remember the first time I saw you, you weren't like this."
Yun Ming ruffled Yi Xuan's head, then composed his smile and said seriously, "Master should have told you about the matter."
He took out his phone.
[Xuan Mingzi: These two girls, Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan, will be your Apprentices from now on.]
[Since you brought them back, you must treat them well, transmit my Yun Kui Mountain Dao methods, and uphold our sect's rules.]
[Remember, strictly adhere to the rules between Master and Apprentice!]
Yun Ming didn't reply.
He was afraid that if he replied, the old man would settle accounts with him.
Stealing the Qing Ming Sword, privately accepting commissions, carousing with Senior Apprentice Brother at a KTV, and brawling under everyone's gaze down the mountain.
After the old man returned, would he really break his legs?
