Listening to their chat, Xiao Tian, who was floating in the air, pursed her lips.
Now she was finding Ye Anping more and more pleasing to the eye. Although his aptitude was a little inferior, the character, mind, knowledge, and connections shown these days were far better than that of an ordinary young master.
The most important thing was that Ye Anping was only fifteen years old, just like Feng Yu Die.
This boy was better than a grown man.
It was said that many mothers liked to compare other people's children with their own.
Xiao Tian now understood why.
Feng Yu Die, aside from her skill and cultivation level, was no match for Ye Anping in anything else.
As a young master, he didn't have any bad habits. He also took the initiative to step out of the comfort zone of his sect, opened a shop to make a living, and tried his best to send his sister to the Black Star sect to practice.
The most important thing was that even Yu Die, who hated men so much, seemed to be willing to befriend him now.
Also, this Ye Anping seemed to be able to see him, although there was no proof yet.
But if Ye Anping could really see him, wouldn't it mean that he and Feng Yu Die were a predestined pair?
Taking advantage of the fact that those three were busy with the roasted chicken, Xiao Tian had a bright idea and suddenly slipped by Ye Anping's ear and said, "Hey kid, let me tell you, Yu Die told me last night that she wants to become your cultivation partner, do you know?"
"?"
"??"
The moment he said this, question marks popped up above Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die's heads.
Feng Yu Die had an extra question mark above her.
She looked at Xiao Tian with a puzzled face, expressing with her eyes, When did I say I want to be his cultivation partner? Xiao Tian, are you sick?!
However, Ye Anping did not react.
This little blob of emergency food was testing him now to see if he could actually see him or not.
"Hey, kid, even though Yu Die's temper isn't always good, she often does inexplicable things, she's always self-centered and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, she's still a pretty good girl. Look at her, she's definitely nice and pretty when she's dressed up, and her silver hair is so fairy-like."
"Although she likes women, she's still young, so we can work together to correct her bad habits, right?"
"Let me tell you a secret, when Yu Die was three years old, she once used cow dung as mud to play with clay figurines. As a result, she was covered in cow dung, and her master took her to the Spirit Mountain Waterfall to wash her. It took three days and three nights to wash away the smell."
"And she still sucks her fingers every night when she goes to bed. It's hilarious."
After Xiao Tian finished chattering next to Ye Anping's left ear, she flew to his right ear to chatter again, as if she wanted to reveal all of Feng Yu Die's dark history.
Although Ye Anping maintained a calm expression, Feng Yu Die's complexion did not look too good when she heard what she said.
She roared in her heart,* What is this idiot doing?!*
It's true that she never cared what others thought of her, but still...
She was eating now!
Who talks about these things at dinner?
Feng Yu Die felt that the roasted chicken in her hand was no longer fragrant, and she gave a piercing glare straight at Xiao Tian.
But since Xiao Tian was now hovering next to Ye Anping's ear, from Bai Yuexin's perspective, it looked like Feng Yu Die was staring at Ye Anping.
?
A question mark also popped up above Bai Yuexin's head.
These two didn't talk much, so why was Feng Yu Die acting like this, as if she had become interested in Ye Anping?
Although Ye Anping's face was quite attractive to girls, and his personality was also cool, still, this was too...
Feng Yu Die couldn't bear it anymore and put down the drumstick in her hand.
"I'm full!"
"Alright." Ye Anping nodded. "Didn't you want to experience physiotherapy? Go to the backyard and wash your hands. I'll be there in a minute."
"I'll come back tomorrow! I'm going back now, thanks for the roasted chicken!"
Saying this, Feng Yu Die stood up, ran out of the physiotherapy hall, summoned her flying sword, and flew back to the Black Star compound. Xiao Tian, who was still speaking, was abruptly pulled away by her.
"Young Master Ye, I'll come back tomorrow to tell you more about Yu Die~~"
"..."
After she left, Bai Yuexin asked, "Anping, what did you guys talk about when I was gone?"
"Nothing much, just some casual talk."
...
Four days later---
Black Star Sect's physical test was finally over.
While Feng Yu Die was sent back ahead of time to recuperate, Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo, who continued to participate in the physical examination, managed to complete the whole journey and successfully reached the main peak.
After listening to the elders on the main peak explain the next selection planning, Pei Lianxue helped Xiao Yunluo back to the Heavenly Cloud Peak residence.
In the past, Pei Lianxue was often left to survive in the wild by her brother, so she seemed to be quite carefree, but Xiao Yunluo could barely take it anymore.
In the last part, she could hardly feel her legs, and Pei Lianxue carried her all the way up to the main peak.
There happened to be a pavilion ahead, and Xiao Yunluo hurriedly shouted. "Sister Pei, let's sit in the pavilion and rest for a while. I really can't move anymore."
"But we are almost at the residence."
"I really can't move, let's just sit for a while..."
"..."
Resigned, Pei Lianxue helped her into the pavilion and sat down. Xiao Yunluo almost collapsed on the chair with a dying face.
After a while, she regained her composure, looked at Pei Lianxue's stoic expression, and reviewed her experience in the wild.
After Feng Yu Die was picked up, she followed Pei Lianxue, overcoming obstacles all the way, experiencing the Bitter Sand River 's extremely flammable aura, then bumping into demonic beasts many times after that. And everything was solved by Pei Lianxue alone, and she didn't help at all.
It could even be said that if it weren't for taking care of her, Pei Lianxue could have finished the physical test two days early. But, several times in the process, she was forced to stop and rest because she twisted her ankle or was exhausted.
Xiao Yunluo looked at Pei Lianxue, hesitated for a while, and asked. "Sister Pei, is there anything you'd like to have?"
"Huh?" Pei Lianxue was slightly taken aback. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I just... want to give you a present. You took care of me the last few days, and if it weren't for me, you would have completed the physical test a day or two early." Xiao Yunluo thought and asked. "You like jewelry? I have plenty."
"No need."
"Then, I'll treat you to dinner. There are some good restaurants in the town market."
What Pei Lianxue wanted now was to meet her brother.
When the gang attacked them before, he was obviously there, but why didn't he come out to meet her?
It has been almost two months since they left the Hundred Lotus Sect.
She hadn't seen her brother, hugged him, or held his hand for two months.
She was addicted to her brother, and now she missed him.
"..."
Seeing Pei Lianxue frown, Xiao Yunluo tilted her head in confusion and asked in a low voice. "You don't want to eat? What about elixirs?"
"No... Let's eat, it's cheaper."
"It's not like you're paying for it, it's my treat. I'll call that idiot over as well."
Pei Lianxue nodded, then rested her chin and looked through the latticed window of the pavilion.
With a panoramic view of the mountains, Black Star 's scenery was much better than that of the Hundred Lotus Sect, but without her brother, she was not in the mood to admire the painting-like mountain views.
At this time, two sisters from Heavenly Cloud Peak passed by.
They saw Xiao Yunluo in the pavilion and greeted her.
"Good afternoon, Young Miss."
"Oh, good afternoon."
After they exchanged greetings, the two walked away, but the sound of their chatting still reached Pei Lianxue's ears.
---"Have you gone to see that little cultivation partner of Sister Bai?"
---"Huh? Wasn't she insisting they weren't a couple?"
---"Oh, she is just shy, she has been running to the market almost after every class these days. Spending time together every day, how is this not a couple? Let me tell you, her little cultivation partner is really good-looking, a cool young man, and when he grows up, he will definitely be a handsome man with a face like precious jade. I am envious."
---"Is he really that handsome?"
---"Sister Xu, my vision is very good. If I think a person is good-looking, then they really are very good-looking. I'll take you to see him after class tonight, and you let him give you a foot massage while you're at it, he's very good!"
---"Foot... foot massage?! This..."
---"Gee, don't worry so much. Everyone's just like you. Before experiencing it, I also didn't think it was good, but once I tried it, I liked it very much..."
