Compared to the simple Qiong Ming Peak, Zhu Yan Peak, which was several kilometers away, was like another world.
Late autumn, September, red leaves filled the mountain.
Looking at the red face from afar, the whole scene looked like a painting.
"Stop the car and sit in the Love Maple Forest. The frost leaves turn red in February."
The name "Zhu Yan" was taken from the maple trees carefully taken care of by these Zhu Yan Peak disciples.
At this moment, on the stone steps leading to the Tree of Reflection halfway up the mountain, Bai Lian was strolling leisurely. There was actually no panic on her face.
"If only I could be as stable as Senior Sister Bai."
Xiao Jinse secretly sized up Bai Lian.
The more she looked at the other party, the more she felt that this Senior Sister Bai was beautiful, especially the dark blue earring beside her ear. It looked like a starry sky, and it just happened to reflect the star-shaped mark at the corners of Senior Sister Bai's eyes.
The saying "a woman with a pure heart and jade-like lips" was probably referring to a woman like Senior Sister Bai!
In just a few days, Xiao Jinse understood why so many people were chasing after Senior Sister Bai. If she were a teenager, she would also treat Senior Sister Bai as her sweetheart.
Who didn't love the Sacred Lady of Qiong Ming Peak?
Xiao Jinse felt her face heat up, causing her to shrink into a ball like a frightened rabbit when Bai Lian suddenly got close to her.
Could it be that Senior Sister Bai had already seen through her thoughts?
Oh.
Fortunately, it was only because there was a turn on the stairs they were climbing.
Xiao Jinse secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Her gaze wandered and she saw Yan Yue.
This Aunt-Master in a pink immortal dress had all her attention on Senior Sister Bai and had already forgotten everything around her.
"Old witch!"
Xiao Jinse cursed in her heart.
She estimated that since Yan Yue's plan didn't work, she must be plotting against Senior Sister Bai again.
They had been delayed on the mountain for so long. The sect master and elders of the Immortal Du Sect shouldn't have been unaware, right?
Xiao Jinse only hoped that those people could rush over as soon as possible.
Senior Sister Bai was extremely talented, but she was less than 20 years old after all. It was impossible for her to be Yan Yue's match.
Sigh.
It was a fight against time.
Xiao Jinse made up her mind. If Yan Yue bullied Senior Sister Bai later, she would definitely stand out bravely and shout the words that Senior Sister Bai had once shouted for her…
"Every dog has its day! Don't bully a girl for being weak!"
…
Yan Yue was very troubled.
She had already realized that she was wrong. This Bai Lian was probably really innocent!
In front of everyone, no matter how glib her tongue was, she couldn't exactly twist words in front of An Lan.
As soon as An Lan returned, she would probably immediately lose face.
Damn!
For hundreds of years, 90% of Yan Yue's resentment towards An Lan was caused by An Lan. As for the remaining 10%, if not for today's incident, she would have almost forgotten.
Scene 1.
"Sister An, let's play together."
"Hmph! Little kid, go play with a stick yourself. Don't disturb my sleep."
Scene 2.
"Senior Sister An, Master asked us not to cause trouble during our training."
"What do you know! Even if I'm not in the position of a Heavenly Venerate now and lose my immortal bone, I, An Lan, will still be invincible in the world sooner or later!"
"Senior Sister An, Master asked me not to cause trouble."
"I, An Lan, am invincible in the world!"
There were also scenes 3, 4, 5, 6,…
There were so many, so many that Yan Yue couldn't count them all.
Lunatic! Idiot! Disdainful woman!
Hiss…
Yan Yue took a deep breath. She wanted to throw something now, but unfortunately, the seven-string zither wasn't beside her. She also wanted to hit something, such as the maple tree beside her.
In the end, Yan Yue endured it.
She didn't want to continue losing her status in front of Bai Lian. After all, Bai Lian was An Lan's disciple.
But…
Yan Yue had to admit that Bai Lian was completely different from An Lan.
When she met An Lan, An Lan lay on her side most of the time or lay on the bamboo chair. She didn't care about her image and spoke without any scruples. She was a proper big boss.
Bai Lian was different.
Firstly, in terms of reputation, Bai Lian was pursued by tens of thousands of people in the Immortal Du Sect. She was beautiful and had peerless aptitude. She never discriminated against disciples with low cultivation levels.
In terms of perception, in just half a day, Yan Yue realized that Bai Lian's bearing was much calmer than hers (she was extremely certain). Her expression wouldn't change even if the whole world collapsed in front of her!
Such a Bai Lian was actually that disdainful woman's disciple?
This was probably what they called "mutation".
Yan Yue was so angry that her chest hurt.
"If I were to teach Bai Lian… Huh?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a tempting thing. In any case, An Lan basically always ignored Bai Lian.
If she could really turn Bai Lian into her disciple, oh my, the pleasure would be as endless as stealing An Lan's Dao partner!
She would ruin An Lan's plans!
Thinking of this, Yan Yue grinned.
???
This was bad!
At the end of the stone steps, the expressions of the accompanying disciple and that senior sister who were waiting for Yan Yue to return changed slightly. They didn't expect their master to be so efficient!
Not only did she capture Bai Lian, but she even brought an unfamiliar female disciple.
What was even more terrifying was that her master was smiling.
Every time her master smiled like that, it meant that she was preparing to scheme against someone!
Needless to say, their master was definitely thinking of ways to torture Senior Sister Bai.
This was bad!
Patriarch Blood Tree was unwilling to care about this matter. If they allowed their master to continue fooling around, Qiong Ming Peak would start an all-out war with Zhu Yan Peak.
The two female disciples looked at Bai Lian anxiously.
With a look, their hearts surprisingly calmed down.
Was this Senior Sister Bai?
The attendant disciple widened his eyes.
Senior Sister Bai was probably the only person in the entire Immortal Du Sect who could still be so calm under their master's "despicable might". Even the sect master would be thumping his chest.
"We're here."
After crossing the last stone step, Yan Yue said calmly.
They had finally arrived.
Bai Lian felt her eyes dry.
It wasn't especially easy to maintain a "calm face" at all times. After all, in essence, this was a "magical skill" she had developed to control her muscles.
Those who knew knew.
Bai Lian wasn't afraid that others would see through her little trick, because someone else had long come up with an excuse she could use.
"Strange, Senior Sister Bai has spiritual energy on her body, and the spiritual energy is overflowing."
"You're ignorant. That's called immortal aura. Only natural saints have it!"
True Immortal!
Yan Yue said again, "Where's Ya Le?"
The accompanying disciple and senior sister replied together, "Master, Junior Sister Wenren is still under the Tree of Reflection."
"I understand." Yan Yue waved her hand.
That senior sister hesitated for a long time, but she still couldn't help but step forward and persuade, "Master, I think this matter still needs to be…"
"Know your place!"
Yan Yue glanced at her.
That senior sister shuddered and stopped talking.
This woman was so unreasonable, Xiao Jinse thought to herself. When she raised her head, she suddenly realized that Yan Yue was staring at her.
"…"
Oh no, she seemed to have accidentally revealed a disgusted gaze just now. Although it was only an instant, Yan Yue still caught it.
Xiao Jinse was secretly anxious.
At this moment, three new mission options appeared in front of Bai Lian.
[Mission 1: Step forward and blame Yan Yue loudly: "What do you want?" (Mission Reward: Heavenly Dipper Lightning Array Blueprint)]
[Mission 2: Block in front of Junior Sister and meet Yan Yue's gaze (Mission Reward: Star Moon Silk Art)]
[Mission 3: Aunt-Master Yan has really nurtured a good disciple. I'm far inferior to this junior sister! As Master's eldest disciple, I can't persuade her to change her shortcomings, unlike this junior sister over here… I, sigh…(Mission Reward: Butterfly Dance on the Mountain)]
Eh?
No.
After seeing the reward for the third mission, Bai Lian was stunned for a moment. Why wasn't it attribute points? What the hell was with this option?
She only felt that Yan Yue was dangerous!
After looking at the reward value of the first two options, Bai Lian still silently chose Mission 3.
Although she said what the system told her to, her voice was filled with emotion, much more professional than those actors who had graduated from specializations. Yan Yue was stunned.
Eh, was she praised by An Lan's disciple?
Just what was this child talking about? It was really embarrassing!
Yan Yue instantly forgot her dissatisfaction with that disciple and Xiao Jinse. The more she looked at them, the more she felt that they were pitiful and cute.
That disciple's eyes were even watery, and her body subconsciously twisted twice.
She couldn't help but think, "Senior Sister Bai… actually stood up for me… I, I…"
Sigh.
In the end, Senior Sister Bai was an existence she couldn't reach.
That senior sister became depressed.
[Mission completed. Mission reward spell - Butterfly Dance on the Mountain]
After clicking to learn and loading the Butterfly Dance into the move column, Bai Lian cupped her fists and bowed slightly. "Aunt-Master Yan, wait here for a while. I'll go confront Junior Sister Wenren myself."
"Ah." Yan Yue recovered from her joy and said calmly, "Go ahead."
