Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

When Shen Ji returned, five days had passed.

As soon as he returned to Xiaoyao Peak, he was surrounded by Bai Xiaobai and a group of disciples.

Although her handsome master was still dashing and ethereal, with white hair, Bai Xiaobai felt that he looked somewhat haggard compared to before.

In addition, the news she received from her senior brothers and sisters and Xiao Hong over the past two days about demonic cultivators and the Heavenly Demon Sect made her worry.

"Master, are you alright? You haven't been back for days. Have you not been resting well? You look a little pale. Also, Master, what happened to the vengeful spirit in the bone whip? And the Flowing Moon Sect, are they really colluding with the demonic cultivators?"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaobai's series of questions, Shen Ji lowered his eyes and gently pursed his lips. When he looked up again, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"I'm fine. The matter of the vengeful spirits and the Flowing Moon Sect will be handled by the sect leader and the others. These next two days, you should pack your things. I will personally lead you out on a training expedition. The duration is uncertain, perhaps ten years, perhaps a hundred years. This time, we may be going quite far, so we should prepare more supplies. Ling Tian, ​​you take your junior brothers and sisters down to prepare. Xiao Qi, you come with me."

In the past few days, Bai Xiaobai and Ling Tian told the others about their master's plan to take them and their disciples on an expedition, but they never expected that the time would be so short.

Watching Shen Ji and Xiao Qi's departing figures, Bai Xiaobai's long eyelashes fluttered twice, her brows furrowed slightly, and she tilted her head to one side: "Senior brothers and sisters, why does it feel like Master is acting a little strange? Has Master ever personally taken you out for training before?"

Ling Tian and the others shook their heads, their eyes filled with confusion.

"In the past, when we disciples went on training trips, we usually went together, and the trips were never too long. But this time, not only is Master going in person, but the training trip will last for several years or even a hundred years. It feels a bit strange, and it doesn't seem like Master's style."

After Ling Tian finished speaking, the others echoed his words.

"Yes, Master has only ever traveled as far as the vicinity of the Qingxiao Sect in recent years. But this time, the training trip is not only longer, but also involves going much further. So what's wrong with Master? He's always been quiet and doesn't like to wander around. Why is this training trip so unusual? Is he really going to take us to track down the demonic cultivators? But his greatest hobby is sleeping, and he's never been very interested in anything. Why would he suddenly suggest tracking down the demonic cultivators this time?"

What Qin Yuan said was exactly what Bai Xiaobai wanted to say.

"So, senior brothers and sisters, is it possible that the demonic cultivators who have been ravaging the cultivation sects have made a comeback, and that this matter is quite serious? And that our master is not actually leading us to track down the demonic cultivators, but rather to lead us to avoid the limelight, that is, to run away?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

"Junior Sister's analysis makes a lot of sense, so Senior Brother, why don't we just empty Xiaoyao Peak? Better safe than sorry."

As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, he and Bai Xiaobai each received a loving tap on the head from their senior brother.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Master do such a thing? He already said that he was taking us along to track down the demonic cultivators and to gain experience along the way. Don't make wild guesses."

Qin Yuan scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.

"I was just saying, how could I really empty Xiaoyao Peak? If the sect leader finds out, with his petty nature, he'll surely go to the Qin family and complain about me. Sigh, after this parting, I don't know when I'll be able to return. Fairy Lingyun and the others are leaving Qingxiao Sect today, you all go and prepare, I'm going to say goodbye to my Fairy Lingyun."

After saying this, Qin Yuan couldn't wait to leave.

Watching his third senior brother depart on his sword, Bai Xiaobai shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Third Senior Brother is probably going to be defeated by Lingyun this time. But the flowing water is affectionate while the falling flower is indifferent. Lingyun is not easy to pursue at all."

Feng Ling nodded in agreement with Mu Wan.

"Your third senior brother has quite a few romantic entanglements in our sect. Knowing that he has taken a liking to a female disciple of the Hehuan Sect, his admirers have caused Lingyun no shortage of trouble."

"Do you think Third Senior Brother really likes Lingyun? I've never seen him so attentive to any woman before. He even offered her the Qin family's most precious treasure, but she didn't even glance at it. Yet, he still hasn't given up. Does that count as liking her? Before, women were always chasing after him; this time it's the other way around. Junior Brother Yuanbao, what do you think? Junior Brother Yuanbao?"

Mu Wan called out several times, but Yuanbao seemed not to hear her and remained in a daze.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaobai nudged Yuanbao's shoulder in confusion.

"Senior Brother Yuanbao, what's wrong with you? You've been distracted since just now."

Yuanbao, realizing what was happening, gently shook her head. "I'm fine. I'll go back and prepare my things."

After Yuanbao left, looking preoccupied, Ling Tian finally spoke with a smile.

"Yuanbao must be worried about Junior Sister Ye. He's been visiting Yuling Peak almost every day these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaobai suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems that Ye Qinghe's injury is indeed not a bad thing for her, just as her master said.

Firstly, she had the Spirit Nourishing Pill given by her master, which could help her solidify her foundation. Secondly, judging from Senior Brother Yuanbao's behavior, it was clear that he wasn't entirely indifferent to Ye Qinghe.

But is this a good thing or a bad thing? After all, they are about to leave, and their return date is uncertain.

Can Ye Qinghe really wait for Senior Brother Yuanbao for that long?

What if she falls for someone else?

Besides, his business empire in the cultivation world had only just begun to take shape, and it was a real pity that he had to leave.

Although the spirit stones earned this time were quite a lot, with the rewards from the sect and the money swindled from the Liuyue Sect, it was not a small amount.

But she's still a long way from becoming a wealthy woman in the cultivation world.

It would be a shame to give up this business empire now.

After thinking for a moment, she waved to Ling Tian, ​​Feng Ling, and Mu Wan.

The three men were puzzled, but they still leaned in to listen.

After half an incense stick had burned, the three nodded in approval.

"Junior Sister is right. Let Senior Brother handle the matter of getting the Sect Master to join us."

"Junior Sister, your little brain is really useful. Your fourth senior sister and I will prepare the recipe and ingredients."

"Don't worry, junior sister, I will cooperate well with second senior sister."

Bai Xiaobai finally felt relieved; she absolutely could not give up such a good opportunity to make money.

Anyway, they're just going out to gain experience; they'll come back sooner or later.

Blue Star's franchise model is quite mature. With just a slight modification and a solution suitable for the cultivation world, there's still a chance to make money with spirit stones.
