Author’s Heartfelt Reminder: [The eldest senior brother has only ever had the little junior sister in his heart from beginning to end. There is a reason for the 99 transmigrations, which will be explained later. No spoilers.]
The hearts of the master and his three disciples were filled with doubts.
They had no connection whatsoever to the Mysterious Heaven Sect, and since they had no connection to the Mysterious Heaven Sect, they certainly had no connection to the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s Supreme Elder, Yun Luo Chen.
So why would this woman named Jun Lanyue say that the four of them—master and disciples—would all die at the hands of Yun Luo Chen in the future?
“Alright!” Yue Xuanji suppressed his complex emotions and asked Jun Lanyue with a beaming smile, “So, little girl, do you wish to become my disciple?”
He had secretly observed her just now. Besides being quirky and clever, this girl’s strength was also quite impressive.
She looked only about eighteen or nineteen, yet her power had already reached the Great Spiritual Master stage.
Across the entire continent, there weren’t many young people who could reach such a level at that age.
And for someone so young to be this powerful, her talent definitely couldn’t be bad.
[He agreed? He actually agreed?]
Jin Wang Wang: [Who cares, host? As long as we achieve our goal, that’s enough.]
Jun Lanyue felt that A Wang’s words made sense, so she quickly nodded, “I do! I do! I definitely do!”
Before Yue Xuanji could say anything more, she plopped down with a thud and kowtowed three times. “Master above, please accept this disciple’s bow!”
Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of her kowtows was filled with genuine sincerity.
“Hey! Hey, hey, hey!” Yue Xuanji grinned from ear to ear, quickly reaching out to help Jun Lanyue up from the ground. “Good disciple, obedient disciple, your master will now give you a disciple initiation gift.”
With a wave of his large hand, an antique-looking box that clearly looked expensive appeared in his palm.
[There’s even an initiation gift! Master is so generous!]
Jun Lanyue eagerly took the box, her eyes sparkling as she opened it.
The moment the box was opened, a dragon’s roar erupted forth.
The dragon’s roar shot straight into her consciousness, making her dizzy for a moment before she quickly regained clarity.
Inside the box was a pitch-black long whip. The whip’s handle was carved into a lifelike dragon’s head, and the entire whip resembled a black dragon.
“Thank you, Master. I really like this long whip.”
Jun Lanyue reached out and grasped the whip’s handle, channeling spiritual power into it before giving it a fierce forward lash.
“Swish!”
The whip lashed out, carrying a sharp, fierce wind. Faintly visible on the whip were strands of lightning-like spiritual power colliding.
“Crack!” With a loud bang, the whip struck the ground heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust while also splitting the earth open with a long, wide fissure.
One could imagine that if this whip struck a person, it wouldn’t be as simple as just breaking skin and flesh.
“Yueyue’s strength is still a bit weak now.” Though Yue Xuanji didn’t show it on his face, he was inwardly astonished. “When Yueyue’s strength grows stronger, the power she unleashes will be even more terrifying.”
This long whip was personally forged by him. No one knew its power better than he did.
“Master, is this long whip made from dragon bone?”
Jun Lanyue loved it immensely, gently stroking the long whip in her hand.
The whip was smooth and cool to the touch, like touching the scales of a cold-blooded animal.
[This must be Master’s most prized creation, the Candle Dragon Whip. I never expected he would give it to me. Ahhh! Master is too good, I love you, Master, wuwuwu~]
Yue Xuanji was once again astonished by what she knew. She even knew about his most prized creation, the Candle Dragon Whip. Was there anything she didn’t know?
“That’s right.” At this moment, both of them were pretending to be oblivious while fully aware. “This whip was forged by your master using the complete skeleton of a Candle Dragon. There is only one in the world, unique and unparalleled.”
He deliberately added the phrase “unique and unparalleled” with a simple goal—to show off a little in front of his disciple.
“Master is the best!” Jun Lanyue stored the Candle Dragon Whip in her Storage Ring and then went over to hug Yue Xuanji’s arm, rubbing her head against him. “Your disciple will cherish it dearly.”
Over the years, Yue Xuanji felt that today was the happiest day of his life. The smile on his face never faded.
He raised his head proudly, pretending to be serious as he introduced, “Come, Yueyue, let your master introduce you. This is your eldest senior brother, Rong Jue. He’s an ice-cold face, speaks little, and aside from being strong and handsome, he’s utterly useless. Don’t play with him often—he’s terribly boring.”
Rong Jue: “??”
“Hello, Eldest Senior Brother!”
Jun Lanyue smiled obediently on the surface, but inwardly, she was already starting to complain.
[I know, I know who this guy is even without an introduction. He’s the cannon fodder second male antagonist controlled by the brain-dead author’s plot, who turns evil for love! Compared to me, we’re equally miserable. In the brain-dead author’s eyes, we’re just names, lacking self-awareness, controlled by the plot, and our fates are equally tragic.]
In that brief moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Yue Xuanji’s mind exploded. His usually silent eldest disciple, who rarely spoke two complete sentences a day, would actually compete with others for a woman?
Pei Yan: I thought Eldest Senior Brother was indifferent to everything…
Song Qiguang: Who would’ve thought, Eldest Senior Brother!
Rong Jue: Turn evil for love? Utterly absurd!
Seeing Rong Jue, the big ice block, remain silent, Yue Xuanji glared at him in exasperation. “Yueyue, ignore him. His mute disease is acting up again.”
Rong Jue: “…”
Nearby, Pei Yan and Song Qiguang struggled to hold back their laughter. Their eldest senior brother didn’t have a mute disease—he was just naturally cold and aloof. Even with those closest to him, he often kept his distance. In truth, he was a genuinely good person.
“Hello, Little Junior Sister, I’m your second senior brother, Pei Yan.” Pei Yan took two steps forward, smiling like the sun in February, warm just to look at.
He had a pair of lovely dimples, especially noticeable when he smiled.
“Hello, Second Senior Brother.”
Jun Lanyue greeted him with the same obedient demeanor as before.
[Pei Yan, the big warm-hearted guy—I know him. Gentle and considerate, always thinking of others, a top-tier alchemy genius. It’s a shame his ending was tragic, dying under Yun Luo Chen’s sword to save his eldest senior brother. Sigh~]
Pei Yan: Yun Luo Chen, Yun Luo Chen, that damned Yun Luo Chen again. Sooner or later, I’ll find a chance to poison him to death!
“Here, Little Junior Sister, this is your second senior brother’s gift for meeting you.” Pei Yan suddenly produced a small box in his hand. The box was exquisitely crafted, and it was clear at a glance that its contents were extraordinary. “It’s a bit rushed. I hope Little Junior Sister likes it.”
Jun Lanyue carefully took the box and opened it, curious about what was inside.
[Second Senior Brother is an alchemy prodigy. Could it be an incredibly powerful Elixir?]
