Fairy, you call this repaying a debt of gratitude?

Chapter 107 Master

Chu Yaoxi and Shen Wei strolled through the sect, and Chu Yaoxi introduced the sect's situation to him as they talked.

"The open space in front is the training ground, where sect lessons, daily sword practice, and disciple competitions are all held."

She then pointed to the pavilions arranged along the mountainside, "Those are the disciples' residences. The regulations and treatment of the inner disciples, outer disciples, and personal disciples are different. Only personal disciples are qualified to be assigned their own residences on each peak. On the west side are the alchemy room and the scripture library, where alchemy and the borrowing of cultivation manuals are all done."

"And these two sides in front of us are the Hall of Affairs and the Hall of Law Enforcement, respectively. One is in charge of registering and salary and sect tasks, and the other is in charge of discipline and rewards. Each of the seven peaks of Yuheng has its own duties. The main peak is in charge of the overall situation, and the other six peaks are in charge of trivial matters and cultivation."

Shen Wei followed Chu Yaoxi through the mountain gate. After cultivating for so many years, this was the first time he had formally joined a sect, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

However, this sense of novelty quickly dissipated. Just like in the secular world, most of the facilities in the sect were just different names, and their functions were still the same as they were in the secular world.

The two arrived at the Hall of Affairs. Under the supervision of the sect's young master, the disciples inside meticulously completed Shen Wei's entry into the sect, officially registering him in the list of direct disciples of Yunyue Peak.

After the registration was completed, the disciple presented a brocade robe, specially made for personal disciples, which was of exceptional quality.

Following closely behind, a disciple from the Enforcement Hall handed over a finely crafted black jade token, with the elegant character "Shen" engraved on the front.

Chu Yaoxi reached out and took the token, then handed it to Shen Wei, earnestly instructing him, "This is an exclusive token for personal disciples. Your monthly cultivation stipend and sect resource quota are all recorded here. From now on, you will need this token to apply for pills and magical artifacts and exchange for cultivation materials."

"Okay." Shen Wei nodded after taking it.

After completing all the trivial matters of joining the sect, Chu Yaoxi did not linger and led Shen Wei all the way to Yunyue Peak.

The two stood at the foot of the mountain, taking in the entire peak. Here, the trees were lush and green, the spiritual energy was abundant, and unknown spiritual flowers and herbs grew everywhere. A gentle breeze carried a faint spiritual fragrance.

A bluestone path runs through the center of the mountain, leading directly to two adjacent courtyards on the summit, which are the only two residences on the peak.

The two followed the main bluestone path upwards until they reached the summit.

"The west side is Aunt Ye's bedroom, and the east side is the bedroom prepared for you."

Overall, Yunyue Peak is no different from other peaks. Although it has been vacant for many years, most of its facilities are in good condition, suggesting that sect disciples regularly clean and maintain it.

It can be described as having a beautiful environment, making it a good place to live for a long time.

However, no new disciples will enter this peak before the next Inner Sect Competition.

For such a long period of time, this vast Yunyue Peak must have been inhabited only by him and Ye Qingci, which must have made him feel somewhat lonely.

"I still have sect affairs to attend to, so I'll head back now. When Aunt Ye returns, please remember to inform her that I will come to Yunyue Peak tomorrow to ask her for guidance on swordsmanship."

"it is good."

Upon hearing Shen Wei's affirmative answer, Chu Yaoxi turned around to leave, but paused slightly, then looked back and sighed softly, "It seems I'm quite unfortunate."

"What?"

"From now on, you'll be stationed at Yunyue Peak, and I'll have to come here often to consult Aunt Ye. I'll inevitably have to deal with you, you freak, quite a bit."

She even remembered what she had said to her when they parted last time: "I'm not just strange at talking."

"I'm a complete freak myself, but you're lucky you don't have to deal with people like me."

I didn't expect her to remember—and she even waited until now to retaliate.

He's a vengeful person.

After saying that, Chu Yaoxi left Yunyue Peak directly.

Shen Wei then walked alone into the residence prepared for him. Inside, the furnishings were brand new and complete, with a bed, desk, and shelves all provided. The bedding and chairs were also brand new, clean, and tidy, and were arranged very well.

He sat at his desk, feeling somewhat emotional. He never imagined that he would one day join a sect to cultivate; this was a path he had never taken.

However, he wouldn't stay here for long. Once he obtained the Nine Dragon Soul Bone and refined the pill, he would leave. At that time, he might go to look for Gu Lengyue's whereabouts.

The girl was extremely stubborn from beginning to end. Although she eventually became more willing to rely on herself, she always faced dangerous situations on her own.

As he pondered, night slowly fell, and a gentle night breeze drifted in through the open wooden window along with the faint moonlight. Just then, someone gently knocked on his door.

"who."

"It's me." Just as he had imagined, it was Ye Qingci's voice, gentle yet with a touch of elegance.

"Come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open. Ye Qingci stepped in gracefully, dressed in an elegant white gauze dress. Moonlight bathed her shoulders, highlighting her refined features and ethereal气质, making her appear like a fairy descended from heaven, so beautiful that she seemed almost unreal.

"What's wrong?" Shen Wei asked first.

"You've returned here solely to attend the Immortal Alliance Conference?"

"Um----"

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Qingci remained silent for a long time before continuing, "I hope you can walk the path you truly want to walk, rather than making these involuntary choices for the sake of others."

Things beyond one's control —?

Shen Wei felt that she might have misunderstood the purpose of her visit.

"I came here to participate in the Immortal Alliance Conference not for anyone else, but solely for myself."

Shen Wei thought for a moment and then added a sentence.

"I'm not that selfless. I'm not even a good person, let alone a saint."

Ye Qingci remained noncommittal and continued talking to himself.

"I always felt that you always appeared cold, distant, and unapproachable to outsiders, but inside you are a very gentle person."

"I'm not as good as you say. Whether I'm cold or gentle, I've always reserved it for special people."

"Is that so?" Ye Qingci murmured softly, her expression complex, her thoughts unreadable.

"Get some rest. I've just taken over Yunyue Peak, and I have a lot of trivial matters to handle tomorrow. I need your help."

"nature."

"By the way, from today onwards, you are officially my personal disciple."

Shen Wei was stunned when he heard this. He looked into Ye Qingci's eyes and it took him a long time to understand what she meant.

"—Understood, Master."

The way he addressed her as "Master" was extremely awkward. After all, he had been treating Ye Qingci as an equal in recent days, and suddenly having to call her "Master" felt strangely unnatural.

However, Ye Qingci's thoughts were naturally different from Shen Wei's.

Upon hearing the word "Master," a faint smile appeared on her usually aloof face. Though fleeting, it was enough to leave a lasting impression.

She seemed quite satisfied.

Without saying another word, she quietly closed the door and gracefully left his residence.

After Ye Qing left, Shen Wei, sitting alone at his desk, felt a mix of emotions.

In the future, how should he face Ye Qingci, who is now his master, after his change of status?
