Chapter 36 After all the twists and turns, it's still her.
Yun Chong has been getting easily angered lately. Whenever a beautiful crane flies by, he stares at it intently with a wary expression.
Therefore, he looked down on Li Bai, who had been mingling with them all along, even more. He originally wanted to bring his daughter over to teach her himself, but he was indeed very busy recently, so he simply sent her to Lingyue Peak in person.
Lan Yue was overjoyed to receive a maiden who had fallen from the sky, as well as a large pile of spirit stones as a gift from the sect leader.
"This, this is too much trouble!" Lan Yue was about to rub her hands when she was given a spatial ring.
"Keep it, it's all a commission. During this time, I'll have to trouble Lan Yue to take good care of Yun Xi. Let her study with you for now, and I'll bring her back after I'm done with this busy period." Yun Chong sighed.
The appearance of the Demon Abyss Rift at the Southern Spirit Sect, and even the sudden appearance of the demonic hand, are all extraordinary matters.
At least the three major sects in the Southern Region need to gather to discuss their next move. So he will be very busy during this period, and may even have to leave his sect for a while.
After much thought, Lan Yue's side seemed the safest. After all, in the entire Southern Spirit Sect, only Lan Yue possessed a celestial artifact and the Silver Snow Ancient Sword, enabling her to protect herself and escape in a critical moment.
Moreover, Ninth Junior Brother will try his best to preserve Lingyue Peak, and he can also keep an eye on two more people.
After considering all this, sending their daughter to Lingyue Peak was the best option.
"It's alright, I will definitely take good care of my daughter... cough cough, I will take good care of Yunxi!" Lan Yue almost said the name "my daughter's maiden" but stopped herself in time.
Otherwise, the sect leader of the Southern Spirit Sect might have some strange ideas.
"Xiao Xi, I've already found you a master. The Supreme Elder heard about your situation and wants to personally take you as his disciple. This is a storage ring he sent over." Yun Chong took out another silver storage ring and put it on Yun Xi's finger.
"Here are cultivation techniques and secret manuals prepared for you by the Supreme Elder. You can choose which ones to learn first. The Supreme Elder is still in the ruins and will probably not be back for some time."
[Lan Yue: So, after all the twists and turns, the female lead's master is still the Supreme Elder, only the story has moved forward a few years. Is this some kind of predestined fate?]
Yunxi was taken aback when she heard this, then smiled.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Master to return."
…
After the sect leader left, Lan Yue immediately took Yun Xi to the stream where she often fished.
"What is this?" Yunxi asked, somewhat curious.
"This is a very important tradition of our Lingyue Peak. Every few days we come to this stream to collect the source of life!" Lanyue stretched out her hands, as if embracing the scenery in front of her.
Yunxi, who was behind, did not understand Mingli's meaning and thought that this must be a very, very important matter.
However, when she turned around, she saw that Senior Sister Lanyue had rolled up her trouser legs and tied up her dress before wading into the stream. She even pulled out a large fork at some point and swiftly stabbed a lively spirit fish.
"Look, this is the source of life!" Lan Yue exclaimed, holding up a harpoon.
Yunxi, who was behind them, was dumbfounded. She stood there for a long time before a harpoon was also shoved into her mouth.
"Today, let us conquer this vast region!" Lan Yue said with boundless pride.
Yunxi nodded subconsciously, then rolled up her inner trouser legs and went to fish, soon getting covered in dirt.
Above the clouds, the sect leader, who was about to give his daughter some words of advice, was utterly bewildered.
At this point, he was even starting to doubt whether letting his daughter get to know Lan Yue was the right choice.
But the person had already been sent there, so he could only swallow his anger and bear it.
Two people speared a bunch of fish by the stream, filled a wooden bucket to the brim, and returned to Lingyue Peak.
Although Yunxi's dress was already soaked by the stream, her eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
"I told you this activity would be fun, right?" Lan Yue skillfully cleaned the spirit fish's internal organs, rinsed them with flowing stream water, and then roasted them over the fire.
The fragrant aroma spread, and before long, a group of spirit turtles came from all directions. Some flew in the air, some ran hard on the land, and some were already nearby, craning their necks and looking at her expectantly.
Once the first fish was cooked, Lan Yue handed it to Yun Xi, saying, "Try feeding them; these guys are very well-behaved."
After Yunxi took it, she carefully placed it in front of one of the spirit turtles. She watched the spirit turtle stretch out its head and felt a little happy.
However, in the blink of an eye, another, darker-colored tortoise darted past and snatched the grilled fish.
Yunxi was stunned. She stared at the empty branches, at a loss for what to do.
But the turtle whose food was stolen wouldn't sit idly by. It flapped its four short legs and rushed over, and the two turtles started fighting in mid-air.
Beside these two spirit turtles, an even larger spirit turtle sat quietly next to Lan Yue.
The spirit turtle that chased after it realized it couldn't outrun the other one no matter what it did, so it angrily returned to the ground and squeezed together with the dark-colored spirit turtle, looking extremely indignant.
The first tortoise to snatch the food held its head high, looking arrogant and haughty.
He even ate fish right in front of the two turtles, looking incredibly tempting.
"Huh, no wonder Erdan was so arrogant today. He thinks the other turtles stole your girlfriend!" Lan Yue wasn't quite sure at first, but after secretly checking the system in her mind, she understood.
"But we can't be so unreasonable. Look at how much they love each other, they're practically inseparable. You're just a lone wolf, so let's not get involved."
Lan Yue handed the grilled fish in her hand to the spirit turtle that came to forage for food, saying, "From now on, you'll follow me. I'll help you grow bigger and stronger, and reach the pinnacle of turtle life!"
Erdan, who had just been smug, came to her side with droopy ears and a heartbroken look on his face.
Lan Yue could only offer him another grilled fish as a consolation prize.
"Yunxi, the spirit fish in this stream smells especially good, have a bite too." Lanyue also gave Yunxi a fragrant grilled fish.
Looking at the grilled fish in front of her, Yunxi finally remembered why it felt so familiar.
The Second Elder seemed to have come to see my father before, saying that he was raising some special spirit fish brought from the ruins in the spirit stream near Suilan Peak, but recently the number of those spirit fish has been decreasing.
This caused the Second Elder great distress, and he even thought that the spirit fish in those ruins were not suitable for the environment of the Southern Spirit Sect.
It turns out they were all eaten by those spirit turtles and Senior Sister Lanyue.
After all, Suilan Peak seems to be near Lingyue Peak.
Yunxi was both amused and exasperated, but she wouldn't tell anyone, after all, she was also someone who "went along with the crowd"!
"It smells delicious!" Yunxi smiled.
"My skills? Do you even need to ask?" Lan Yue was not modest at all.
"By the way, why don't you call me junior sister from now on?" Lan Yue said shamelessly.
"Junior Sister Lanyue?" Yunxi asked, her face full of doubt.
"Yunxi, in our cultivation world, seniority is determined by cultivation level. Your cultivation level will definitely be higher than mine in the future. Whether you call me sooner or later, you'll have to call me that anyway, right?" Lanyue opened her eyes with anticipation.
Actually, there were too many female characters who died in the novel "The Path to Immortality," so she was a little hesitant to be the protagonist's female character!
Sometimes you have to believe in metaphysics!
Yunxi, on the other side, agreed without really understanding what Lanyue was saying, and even thought that what Lanyue said made a lot of sense.
"Junior Sister Lanyue, what are we going to do next?" Yun Chong asked curiously.
"Next, of course, is to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and achieve the state of oneness with heaven and man!" Lan Yue smiled slightly.
Yunxi, sitting opposite, was immediately struck by how amazing her junior sister Lanyue was. Even her own father didn't possess such insight! She was truly in harmony with the universe!
However, Lan Yue lay down on the grass in the blink of an eye, leisurely swinging her legs, and soon closed her eyes.
"Yunxi, you should go to sleep too!" she invited warmly.
Yunxi: "..."
She hesitated, then finally lay down.
Perhaps this is why Junior Sister Lanyue was favored by the immortal artifact!
Yunxi comforted herself in her heart.
