"Miss, it’s obvious that Yun Zhen wants to bind us to her and use us to get revenge. Why did you agree to accept her as a disciple and send her to Cloud Bamboo Mountain?"
Night.
A hundred miles away from Cloud Pattern Mountain.
In a Flying Tiger’s den whose owner had been driven away, Liu Su watched Yun Zhen busy himself cooking nearby and whispered to Qiu Zhihe.
"Moreover, Yun Li ntioned that Yun Zhen has feelings for the gentleman. If you accept her as a disciple and they end up together, wouldn’t that make your disciple your sister? What a tangled relationship! Ouch!"
Qiu Zhihe withdrew her hand and said flatly, "Cloud Bamboo Mountain is at the southernmost part of the Northern Wilderness, convenient for us, and there’s a hidden secret that may benefit my husband’s cultivation."
Cloud Bamboo Mountain ranks at the bottom among the hundred mountains in the Northern Wilderness, considered weak and vulnerable.
Yet, over the years, no one has truly claid Cloud Bamboo Mountain.
Because it simply cannot be found.
Everyone knows Cloud Bamboo Mountain is south of the Northern Wilderness, but no one’s found its exact location.
So say it’s an extrely mystical concealnt array, others say the mountain is located at an Immortal’s relic and protected by Immortal thods.
Additionally, there’s a hidden legend about Cloud Bamboo Mountain.
It’s said that if a cultivator obtains sothing from it, they’ll have endless spiritual energy.
For cultivation, having infinite spiritual energy ans progress at a rapid pace.
For magical combat, having infinite spiritual energy ans being invincible.
Such a supre treasure naturally attracts covetous eyes.
Few know of this legend, but Xia Qinglian has ventured into the Northern Wilderness multiple tis, so she naturally heard of it, although even she never found Cloud Bamboo Mountain’s entrance.
But for Qiu Zhihe, sending Yun Zhen to Cloud Bamboo Mountain is convenient.
Because the relic of the Cyan Lotus Sect is also at the southern edge of the Northern Wilderness.
As for agreeing to accept Yun Zhen as a disciple, Qiu Zhihe herself doesn’t know why.
Maybe it’s because Yun Zhen’s expression when she said she would "slaughter Spirit Corpse Mountain" was similar to when she said she would "slaughter the Three Great Sects."
Besides...
"I promised Xiaoque’Er to go back to find her, and since I couldn’t do it, I have to make it up to her."
Qiu Zhihe took out a bunch of candies and mountain fruits from her chest, not elaborate, but with a sweet aroma, and clenched them tightly in her hands.
"Spirit Corpse Mountain also needs to be destroyed."
Liu Su watched Qin Gengyun and Si Minglan assisting Yun Zhen and sighed, resting her chin on her hands.
The Saintess bears a blood feud, to destroy the Three Great Sects.
The Fox Spirit bears a blood feud, to destroy the Western Emperor Palace.
Yun Zhen bears a blood feud against her clan, to destroy Spirit Corpse Mountain.
The Saintess is the gentleman’s wife; the Fox Spirit and Yun Zhen seem to have feelings for the gentleman, so what kind of constitution does the gentleman have?
Comforting divine artifacts for tragic won?
But Yun Zhen is young, has a good figure, can cook, and is brave and virtuous. She appears to have an advantage over the Fox Spirit.
If Yun Zhen really becos the gentleman’s concubine, should the Miss call her disciple or sister?
And , what should I call her?
Second Miss?
Pah! No, I’ll also call her sister!
"Dinner’s ready."
Liu Su was lost in thought when Yun Zhen had already finished cooking and served it on a table made from a large rock.
Everyone sat down; Qiu Zhihe was about to habitually serve Qin Gengyun food when Yun Zhen had already placed a bowl of food respectfully before her:
"Master, please have your al."
Then she served a bowl to Qin Gengyun:
"Master’s wife, please have your al."
"..."
They all looked at each other, their expressions strange as they looked at Qin Gengyun.
Qin Gengyun widened his eyes at Yun Zhen: "Master’s wife?"
Yun Zhen apologized: "I’m sorry, Master’s wife, that’s how our Cloud Pattern Race addresses the master’s spouse."
Qin Gengyun: "..."
Liu Su chuckled, and Si Minglan laughed as she shook her head: "Serves you right! Qin Gengyun, you have your day too!"
After a few cheerful laughs, the heavy atmosphere lifted a bit, and everyone finally started eating.
Even Yun Zhen, who always looked pale, managed to eat a bit.
After dinner, Yun Zhen quietly cleaned up the dishes and went to wash them in the nearby stream, refusing Liu Su’s offer to help.
The tall, fit figure squatted by the stream, and the heroic Yun Zhen suddenly appeared as a gentle, fragile young lady, evoking a sense of pity.
Si Minglan seed empathetic: "Let her be, after such great hardship, doing sothing is better than overthinking."
Qin Gengyun couldn’t bear it, glanced at Qiu Zhihe, and she nodded before he went over and squatted beside Yun Zhen, thinking for a mont before asking:
"By the way, Yun Zhen, why did the second leader ask us to send you to Cloud Bamboo Mountain?"
This was also to chat with Yun Zhen and ease her emotions.
Yun Zhen turned her head, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and regained composure:
"Since I’ve acknowledged Senior Qiu as my master, and you are my master’s wife, I shouldn’t hide it anymore. Cloud Bamboo Mountain has been friendly with us for a long ti. Aunt Li asked you to send there first to give a place to stay."
"Second, to send a ssage to Cloud Bamboo Mountain; Spirit Corpse Mountain has long wanted to unify the Northern Wilderness, after destroying Cloud Pattern Mountain, other mountains won’t escape, and Cloud Bamboo Mountain is already weak and holds a treasure. Maybe Spirit Corpse Mountain’s next target is them."
"Cloud Bamboo Mountain holds a treasure? What do you an?" Qin Gengyun was puzzled.
While washing dishes, Yun Zhen replied, "The top beauty in the Beauty Ranking, Yun Wu, is actually in Cloud Bamboo Mountain."
"What?" Qin Gengyun exclaid.
The na Yun Wu, top in the Beauty Ranking, he’d heard several tis recently, all saying she was in the Northern Wilderness, but not knowing her exact location.
Unexpectedly, she’s in Cloud Bamboo Mountain.
Then he was puzzled: "Even if Yun Wu is in Cloud Bamboo Mountain, it would at most attract lecherous individuals, but hardly counts as a treasure, right?"
Yun Zhen stopped washing dishes, turned to Qin Gengyun as if hesitating, then made up her mind:
"Yun Wu has a secret."
"Hey, Miss, your disciple has been whispering with your husband for so long, what are they talking about?"
In the distance, at the Flying Tiger’s lair, Liu Su peered towards the river and pouted.
Qiu Zhihe glanced at her: "Feeling itchy?"
Liu Su stuck out her tongue and asked again: "Miss, are you really planning to teach Yun Zhen cultivation?"
Qiu Zhihe said: "Yun Zhen has a straightforward personality, no cluttered thoughts, the Cloud Pattern Star Spear paired with the array, there should be unexpected results."
Liu Su lowered her voice: "Miss, I thought you would teach her the Profound Ice and Li Fire Technique."
Qiu Zhihe’s expression darkened: "I don’t want to harm her."
Surprised by this, Liu Su sighed as well.
Suddenly, Qiu Zhihe’s expression turned cold, looking towards the river, the hamr maiden stood up excited, holding her hamr.
"Finally, a fight!"
On the other side of the river, a thin figure slowly erged, his appearance could be considered handso, except his face was deathly pale like a corpse, accompanied by a black-robed woman.
The young man looked at Yun Zhen, then at the distant Qiu Zhihe and Si Minglan, his mouth grinned wide, revealing his ghastly white teeth:
"Initially just wanted to capture the fiftieth on the Beauty Ranking, but didn’t expect that the second and twentieth are here too. Heaven is kind to ; now my corpse concubines can add three beauties."
