After taking a short walk with Feng Yu Die in the blooming garden, Ye Anping went to Pei Lianxue and explained to her that she had to be a companion and what she had to do after entering the Black Star Sect.
Pei Lianxue quite reluctantly said she would go wherever he told her to. However, only after Ye Anping promised that he would come to her later, did she agree to follow Feng Yu Die to the Black Star Sect.
A few days later, Feng Yu Die had almost recovered, so Ye Anping told her to take Pei Lianxue and leave the Hundred Lotus Sect as soon as possible to avoid trouble.
As for why there might be trouble, it was because Kong Yulan believed that her son would accompany Feng Yu Die to the Black Star Sect to study. If she knew that Pei Lianxue was actually the companion, she would definitely plan something for Feng Yu Die and Ye Anping again.
That's why it wasn't until a few days after leaving that Ye Ao and Kong Yulan found out that the three of them had run away.
...
A month and a half later, Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die finally arrived at the Black Star Sect.
The sound of evening drums could be heard on the cloud-shrouded mountaintops where the Black Star Sect was located. Around it, eighteen mountain peaks formed a wall a thousand feet high.
Because there was a flight ban, as they approached the mountain gate, they were reprimanded by several disciples who flew over and asked them to put away their flying swords and go up the mountain on foot.
The mountain road was like a temple fair crowded with people, and every ten meters, there was a small stall selling things.
Many of the Black Star disciples came out here and set up stalls to earn extra money. From grilled snacks to low-level talismans to rare medicinal herbs, everything was there, but the prices varied. Many youngsters from good families came to make a lot of money by deliberately selling fake products.
All in all, the atmosphere was quite lively.
Walking along the mountain road, Pei Lianxue looked left and right, wishing her brother could accompany her now instead of the white-haired vixen following her.
What's more, this white-haired vixen had been nagging incessantly in her ears since the very beginning.
"Sister Pei, do you want candied fruits? I'll buy them for you."
"No, I only eat what my brother buys."
"Sister Pei, do you think that doll is cute? Do you want it? I'll buy it for you."
"No, my brother already bought me a lot."
"These elixirs are also good, prepare some for sister Pei. I'll pay for them!"
"No need, my brother made some for me when I left."
Feng Yu Die's enthusiasm received the cold shoulder as Pei Lianxue did not appreciate it at all, but she did not give up. For a month and a half, she had been trying to make Pei Lianxue happy during the trip.
"Sister Pei, you haven't laughed in over a month. Why don't you tell me how I can make you happy?"
Pei Lianxue, who was already annoyed with her, thought about it and coldly said, "If you roll on the ground like a dog, I'll be happy."
With all these people on the road, Pei Lianxue thought that she would shut up, but she still underestimated Feng Yu Die's thick skin.
Without even thinking about it, Feng Yu Die crawled in front of Pei Lianxue, rolled on the ground, and raised her hand at her like a puppy, sticking out her tongue.
"Woof! Woof! Woof..."
"..."
Pei Lianxue almost cracked up.
As Feng Yu Die's action instantly attracted the attention of all the passers-by around her, Pei Lianxue blushed and felt embarrassed, so she pretended not to know her and quickly walked on.
Seeing her blush, Feng Yu Die smiled, jumped like a frog, and chased after her.
"Woof woof, sister Pei, you finally smiled. You look so pretty when you smile, why don't you smile more?"
"..." Pei Lianxue sped up her pace.
"Woof, woof! Sister Pei, don't walk so fast! Woof! woof!"
After being chased by the little dog Feng Yu Die for several mountain paths, Pei Lianxue finally couldn't take it anymore and kicked her.
However, Feng Yu Die used her tricks and hugged her leg; no matter how much she shook it, she would definitely not let go.
"Woof!!!"
"Aaaahhhh!!!"
...
Meanwhile, Ye Anping also arrived at the Black Star Sect's town square. He left the day after Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die got away from the Hundred Lotus Sect.
He didn't go with them because he went to the Immortal Families' Chamber of Commerce to pay for a business license. As mentioned before, Feng Yu Die could only bring one person into the Black Star Sect, and his own aptitudes were not up to the requirements, so after thinking about it for two days, Ye Anping came up with a solution.
That was to open a shop in the Black Star Sect's town square.
This way, he could stay in the place closest to the sect, and it would be very convenient to inquire about the sect's news or help his sister. At the same time, he could earn money to buy some local treasures that might be useful in the future.
But to open a shop, one still needed to research the market. He had not yet figured out what kind of shop he wanted to open, so he sat down in a random teahouse, ordered a pot of green tea, and started reading a weekly newspaper in his corner.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"Hmm? What?"
"Just now, in front of the gate, some cultivators who came in saw a girl pretending to be a puppy in front of another girl."
Hearing a few cultivators in Black Star Sect robes talking about this at a nearby table, Ye Anping sighed in exasperation.
When he heard about a girl 'pretending to be a puppy', he remembered what Feng Yu Die once did to a heroine in the game.
The heroine in the game was very indifferent to Feng Yu Die and ignored her every attempt to start a conversation. Finally, when she asked her what would make her happy, the heroine jokingly told her to roll around on the floor like a puppy.
Then, Feng Yu Die, without even thinking about it, rolled on the ground and barked twice in public, making the heroine smile in amusement.
"So, she used the same trick on my sister, right?"
Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose, drank a cup of tea, and came to his senses. Looking at the other customers in the teahouse, he heard a few disciples at another table who didn't seem too advanced in cultivation, complained about the waist and back pain caused by the instructors during today's martial arts classes. Suddenly, he had an idea.
Restaurants and brothels should be the first choice if he wanted to open a shop in the Immortals world that would allow him to inquire about the news of the sect. A drunk person would dare to spit out anything.
But there were already too many restaurants in this town, and he wouldn't be able to win in front of those old brands if he wanted to open one.
As for the brothel, it was out of the question since he would have to rely on some other cultivators to buy girls to work there. However, there was another option as good as a brothel.
After a brief consideration, Ye Anping paid for the tea, went to the shops' registration point in the town, got a sign, and submitted his ' Shop Permit Application Order '.
The disciple reviewing the shop registration read the application form he submitted, looked left and right, and finally choked out a sentence.
"Fellow cultivator, what does 'physiotherapy' mean?"
Ye Anping looked at the woman sitting in front of him, and after a pause, he replied, "It's a massage method that I previously learned from a rogue cultivator, but it's hard to explain just by talking about it. If you are free, how about I show you now? If you think it is good, you can recommend it to your sect brothers and sisters in the future."
The woman looked around and saw there were quite a few people in the room going through the formalities, so she asked, "Can you do your physiotherapy here?"
Ye Anping raised his eyebrows. "Well, you will know after experiencing it."
