Mortals, and even my disciple Han Li, don't mess with me!

As the saying goes, if you want to look good, wear mourning clothes.

Dressed in white, and with her charming and beautiful appearance, Xiao Cuier is indeed very attractive now.

Her cultivation level has now reached the early stage of Core Formation, making her a figure of considerable influence in the entire Yellow Maple Valley.

But at this moment, Xiao Cuier was in front of a stone tablet.

"Master, do you know? Uncle-Master Han has already formed his Nascent Soul. However, he doesn't want to come back. Uncle-Master Linghu wants me to go to Luoyun Sect and invite him. But I don't know if I should go?"

Standing in front of the stone tablet, Xiao Cuier murmured to herself, her face full of hesitation.

"You don't need to go over there? Because he's already here."

Wu Yun's answer startled Xiao Cuier, who then turned to look at Wu Yun.

Immediately afterwards, he bowed to Wu Yun.

"Junior Xiao Cuier greets Senior!"

His face showed tension, yet also seemed to hold a hint of anticipation and joy.

Do you know me?

Seeing this, Wu Yun was also a little surprised and asked with a smile.

"Senior Sister Nie Ying showed me a portrait of the senior, which is why I was able to recognize him."

Xiao Cuier nodded slightly in response.

At the same time, she was also somewhat relieved that Nie Ying had given her a portrait of Han Li and Wu Yun.

The master and disciple are now extremely famous figures in the entire Tiannan cultivation world.

After all, in the entire Tiannan cultivation world, which master and disciple pair could both condense their Nascent Souls?

They were nascent souls that condensed at almost the same time.

Most importantly, the dual cultivation ceremony is about to be held again.

Especially Han Li, whose other half is actually Nangong Wan.

Looking across the entire Tiannan cultivation world, in terms of looks and appearance, Nangong Wan could definitely rank in the top five, or even the top three.

Countless men admired her, but none of them expected that she would become Han Li's Daoist partner.

"I see!"

Wu Yun nodded.

"You mentioned earlier that Senior Brother Han is also here. Is there something you need?"

Xiao Cuier pressed for more details.

At the same time, he was filled with anticipation, hoping that Han Li would stay.

If Huangfeng Valley doesn't produce any new Nascent Soul cultivators, it's likely that decline is its only option.

"He did come here for some business, but he won't be staying."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cuier's expectant gaze vanished completely.

"Is this your master?"

Wu Yun then changed the subject.

"Senior Qibing was indeed my teacher, but he passed away a long time ago."

Xiao Cuier answered the question truthfully.

Although it was strange to me, there was no point in hiding it.

"Since that's the case, if you don't mind, why don't you become my disciple?"

As soon as Wu Yun spoke, Xiao Cuier froze on the spot, completely at a loss for what to do.

Because she never expected that Wu Yun would actually take her as his apprentice.

Although Nie Ying's introduction told her that Wu Yun's favorite thing was to take on apprentices, she never expected that she would be so lucky to be chosen by Wu Yun.

"Senior, are you joking?"

Even though she felt that her question was somewhat rude, Xiao Cuier couldn't help but ask it.

"I'm definitely not joking. Didn't Nie Ying tell you that my favorite thing to do is take on apprentices?"

"Or do you think I'm not suitable, or unworthy, to be your master?"

Wu Yun smiled and asked again, his tone slightly teasing.

"No, no, no, you're joking, senior. It's just that this matter is too sudden. It feels like a dream."

Xiao Cuier waved her hands repeatedly, looking panicked and even pale.

This was indeed a very big deal for her.

"You don't need to worry that I have any ill intentions or malicious intent. I just like being called 'Master.' If you don't want to, that's fine too."

Seeing Xiao Cuier's expression, Wu Yun remained calm and said...

"Disciple Xiao Cuier greets Master!"

Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Xiao Cuier immediately knelt down and bowed to him as his disciple.

Xiao Cuier was no fool to be able to condense her golden core and become a Core Formation stage cultivator. She knew that this was her only chance, and if she missed it, she would never find such an opportunity again.

Moreover, being able to become a disciple of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is something countless cultivators dream of, so she naturally wouldn't let it go.

"Now that you've become my disciple, I must give you a small gift. This is a bottle of pills that will help you break through to the next level; it should be of some benefit to you. Please accept it. There's also some news I need to tell you: the Mulan clan will be invading Tiannan soon. So, during this time, don't do anything else but focus on cultivating. Improving your strength as quickly as possible is the most important thing."

Wu Yun took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Xiao Cuier.

Upon hearing about the invasion by the Mulan clan, the other party's face turned even paler, but he still gratefully accepted the pills and thanked them.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand."

"No need for that! Alright, if there's nothing else, come with me to see your Senior Brother Han."

Wu Yun extended another invitation.

"Senior Brother Han!"

Upon hearing this address, Xiao Cuier was taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant and nodded immediately.

The two then headed to the hall in Huangfeng Valley where VIPs were received.

At this moment, besides Han Li, the only other person in the hall was Linghu Laoguai, an old guy who wasn't very good-looking.

The two have now reached a deal: Linghu Laoguai will exchange three items for Han Li to make three moves.

The conversation went fairly well, and nothing serious happened.

Upon seeing Wu Yun bring Xiao Cuier in, Linghu Laoguai immediately stood up to greet them.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you've truly gone through a lot. Junior Nephew Xiao, why did you come with Fellow Daoist Wu?"

Before Xiao Cuier could answer Linghu Laoguai's question, Wu Yun answered first.

"Because she is now my apprentice, I felt that she had good potential and was quite loyal to friends, so I took her as my apprentice."

Wu Yun's answer delighted Linghu Laoguai, but surprised Han Li.

They were even speechless.

"Han... Senior Brother Han."

Xiao Cuier turned her gaze to Han Li, her eyes filled with a hint of reminiscence and longing.

"Han Li, this is your junior sister, quickly take out some gifts to greet her."

Wu Yun ignored Linghu Laoguai and instead told Han Li to give him a gift first.

Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Xiao Cuier was about to refuse, but Han Li had already taken out a magic weapon and two bottles of pills.

"You are Senior Brother Ma's only disciple, and now you've become my junior sister. It's been many years since we last met. Master was right; I should indeed give you a small gift. This is a magic weapon I obtained when I killed other Core Formation cultivators. Although you can't use it as your natal magic weapon, refining it will still benefit you. As for these two bottles of pills, they will be quite useful to you, helping you improve your cultivation and break through bottlenecks."
