Reluctantly dragged out of the grand hall by Chu Jiuning, Hong Yin looked at her with displeasure.
“Only your master indulges you three in such unruly behavior. If you were my disciples, I would have given you a good scolding!”
Chu Jiuning smiled sheepishly, feeling guilty in her heart.
“Grand Elder, it’s just that the matter was urgent.”
Hong Yin gave her a cold glance. “So, what is it?”
She cleared her throat lightly. “Grand Elder, my master said that I seem to have the same name as the future spouse of the royal family’s young master. To avoid unnecessary speculation, he asked me to inform you that I will be changing my name.”
“Oh? Has the Sect Leader already been informed of this?”
Hong Yin was frustrated that Jun Xu seemed to be more well-informed about this matter than she was.
Chu Jiuning nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
“Grand Elder, I will now be known as Xuanyuan Xue.” Hong Yin sighed softly.
“Initially, I knew that you wanted to prevent the Sect Leader from taking you to the wedding when you found out about the name similarity with the royal family’s young master’s fiancée. But since the Sect Leader has changed your name, then it’s fine.”
What?!!! Chu Jiuning’s mouth gaped open, and she felt like crying her heart out.
What does it mean to be clever and end up hurting oneself?
She truly experienced it today!
Seeing her pounding her chest and stamping her feet, Hong Yin asked, “What’s wrong now?”
Chu Jiuning really wanted to cry at this moment, but she had to quickly force herself to calm down.
Ever since she learned about the fusion of the previous eight worlds and the ninth world, her mind had been in chaos, leading to the current situation.
After taking a few deep breaths, she said, “Grand Elder, I have no other matters to attend to. You’re busy, so I’ll take my leave.”
Hong Yin took a sharp breath. “Is this what you call a life-or-death matter? I really…” As she spoke, she raised her hand as if to strike.
Chu Jiuning immediately stepped back, clasping her hands together and smiling apologetically.
“I’m sorry, Grand Elder! Goodbye, Grand Elder.” After saying that, she turned around and hurriedly left.
Hong Yin watched her retreating figure with frustration, then threw a talisman toward Chu Jiuning, who was hopping away.
Unaware of it, Chu Jiuning continued hopping, preparing to find Jian Tong.
Since she had changed her name, she wanted her second brother to spread the news throughout the First Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, if one day the eight big shots found out that there was also someone named Chu Jiuning in the First Immortal Sect, what would happen if they came to investigate?
So she had to be prepared.
Little Snowman: It’s mainly because you feel guilty, Master.
After walking for a while, she saw Fei Yu and Jian Tong standing face to face under a pine tree, engaged in conversation.
Perfect, the eldest senior brother is also here. She smiled and jogged over. “Eldest Senior Brother, Second Brother!”
Fei Yu and Jian Tong turned their heads upon hearing her voice, but both stumbled in shock, looking at Chu Jiuning with great astonishment.
Chu Jiuning was puzzled. “Senior Brothers, is there a need to be so surprised when you see me?”
Jian Tong raised his hand and touched her bald head. “Junior Sister, did Master shave your bald head for you? It feels so smooth!”
What? Bald?! Chu Jiuning immediately touched her head with both hands.
Where was her hair? Where was it? Did a dog eat it? Ah!!!
Fei Yu realized that it was the doing of the Grand Elder and suppressed his laughter.
“Junior Sister, what did you do to provoke the Grand Elder?”
Oh, right! It was indeed the Grand Elder!
She didn’t have time to explain in detail to them and turned around to find Hong Yin.
But after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
Huh?! If she looked like this now, it would be the perfect excuse to avoid going to the Royal Clan, right?
So why should she go find the Grand Elder? As clever as she was!
But her smile disappeared in less than three seconds as she pursed her lips.
No, if she didn’t go when Master returned, she would still find out about the name coincidence.
Moreover, if the person the Royal Clan’s young master was going to marry looked like her, what would happen?
After all, she still didn’t know what the situation was like after the fusion of the nine worlds.
No! Not only should Master not go, but her two senior brothers shouldn’t go either!
In that case, it would be best for her to attend the wedding of the Royal Clan’s young master herself, so she could adapt accordingly.
She could handle her two senior brothers reluctantly, but Jun Xu, couldn’t.
Chu Jiuning: Little Snowman, help me out!
Little Snowman: Master, do you remember when you first pursued Jun Xu, he told you that he was particularly allergic to peaches?
After a hint from the system, Chu Jiuning immediately had an idea.
However, the difficulty lay in the fact that Jun Xu was particularly sensitive to smells, so it was impossible for him to even touch a peach, let alone eat it.
But, there was still a way, unless she… Damn it! Why was she hesitating?
She had done this last time.
After making up her mind, she went to find the peach. At night, everything was quiet.
Chu Jiuning sneaked into Jun Xu’s sleeping chamber.
Unbeknownst to her, the moment she set foot inside, Jun Xu sensed her presence and opened his eyes.
As a seasoned visitor to Jun Xu’s chamber, Chu Jiuning skillfully maneuvered her way to the inner chamber.
Just as she turned the folding screen, she caught sight of Jun Xu seated there, causing her to startle and take a step back, almost uttering the word “Master”.
Fortunately, just as she was about to speak, she remembered the peach essence lingering in her mouth and hastily swallowed the words “Master”.
Jun Xu, with an air of indifference, questioned, “Why have you come to my sleeping chamber at such a late hour?”
Chu Jiuning remained silent, her lips tightly pursed, wearing a pitiful expression as she gazed at him.
She then raised her hand and removed the veil covering her head, revealing her bald head.
It was all thanks to the Grand Elder’s generosity today; otherwise, she would have had no reason to seek out Jun Xu.
Jun Xu furrowed his brow and let out a sigh. “Senior Sister, she…”
How could she still behave like a child? Hong Yin was Jun Xu’s Senior Sister. He beckoned her, saying, “Come here.”
Chu Jiuning obediently walked over, wearing a pitiful expression, and knelt down at his feet.
Jun Xu lightly tapped her head with his jade-like fingers, uttering the word “break”, and her jet-black hair instantly returned.
She couldn’t help but tilt her head up and smile at him.
He gazed down at her with a faint look in his eyes, preparing to ask her to step back.
However, in the blink of an eye, she swiftly kissed him on the lips.
The next moment, he waved his hand, and she was sent flying far away.
“Chu Jiuning!” He stood up in anger, shouting, but before he could settle the score with her, his body immediately broke out in an allergic rash.
Chu Jiuning blinked innocently at him with her large eyes. “Master, I now go by the name Xuanyuan Xue…”
“Leave!” Jun Xu turned away, supporting himself on the bed in discomfort.
Seeing her figure depart from the corner of his eye, Jun Xu gasped for breath heavily.
Why did it have to be a peach? Was she doing it on purpose? But how did she know about his allergy to peaches? Even Hong Yin, his Senior Sister, was unaware. Was it just a coincidence?
As Chu Jiuning left the sleeping chamber, her mood was exceptionally good.
It seemed that Jun Xu would not be able to accompany them to the Royal Clan tomorrow.
Not only tomorrow, but it was likely that Jun Xu would temporarily not leave the First Immortal Sect for over a month.
In that case, when she returned from the Royal Clan, she would strive to conquer Jun Xu within this month and bid him farewell.
Thinking of this, her mood became unusually cheerful.
