Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Hmm, not bad~"

The young man squinted, a hint of fascination for the girl's body appearing in his otherwise calm eyes.

Upon hearing this, the girl blushed slightly, and even her tone became quite charming: "Teacher... is it... not done yet?"

The young man smiled and slowly moved his hand to his thigh, pressing it down firmly twice. He laughed and said, "No rush, there are still many places I haven't checked yet."

—Although it looks like a teacher and student.avi, in reality, the old rogue was just helping Zhang Ruoxue examine her body, which had been tempered many times.

In fact, Zhang Ruoxue's tempering this time was quite successful, and the results even exceeded the old rogue's expectations.

Zhang Ruoxue was not originally a genius. Her cultivation talent was only average among all cultivators, not even above average. If she hadn't met Yun Ping and had stayed in the Lei Yu Sect, her cultivation would probably have been stuck at the Spirit Platform stage for the rest of her life, and she would never have been able to reach the Transformation Peak.

After encountering Yun Ping, the Ji Yue martial arts manual opened up new possibilities for her. More importantly, Yun Ping discovered that Zhang Ruoxue was simply a natural talent for martial arts.

Although she doesn't have such terrifying martial arts talent that she can't possibly master any fist or palm technique at a glance, she does have the aptitude to break through her own limitations by drawing upon the existence of the Great Dao of Martial Arts.

Such a person would have been called a brute in the past.

Only someone like her, who goes down a single path to the very end and even breaks through a dead end, is truly favored by the martial arts world.

This time, during her body tempering in the Netherworld, she not only further strengthened her physical body, but also reached the peak of the Profound Gate stage due to a sudden enlightenment from a certain uncle. The next step would be the Spirit Platform stage.

And more importantly—

"The meridians in your body are much more expanded and unobstructed than before, and the physical body and soul's ability to bear spiritual energy has also been strengthened..."

After examining Zhang Ruoxue's body, looking at the blushing Ruoxue who had been touched all over, Yun Ping clapped his hands and said calmly, "Have you felt that your cultivation speed has increased a lot these days?"

“This…” When the topic of cultivation came up, the blush on Zhang Ruoxue’s face slowly faded, replaced by a serious look in her eyes: “Actually, I also feel that it has gotten a little faster. There wasn’t much change during the day, but at night… the speed of refining spiritual energy seems to have increased considerably.”

"Your aptitude has been improved, which is a pleasant surprise. If your cultivation talent was just like that of an ordinary cultivator before, you should now have one foot in the door of genius."

"Huh? A genius?" Zhang Ruoxue was flattered by Yun Ping's words.

"Hmm... While you still need to rely on your brain to understand the techniques, in terms of cultivation speed alone, you are no longer as fast as before."

Yunping looked at Zhang Ruoxue with a hint of relief: "If you work a little harder these next few days, the bottlenecks of the Spirit Platform stage and even the Transformation Peak stage should not be a problem for you."

"Hua Feng..."

When she heard that she had the opportunity to achieve the pinnacle of power, she suddenly felt a subtle sense of unreality.

Thinking about it carefully, if I were to tell people about what happened to me since I came to this magical Cloud Sky Academy, they would definitely laugh at me. No matter how seriously I told them, they would probably just treat it as a storyteller's tale.

"teacher……"

Zhang Ruoxue stared blankly at the seemingly ordinary young man before her, and asked with utmost seriousness, "You...you wouldn't actually be Emperor Wen, would you?"

Yunping turned his head curiously, a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "...Why are you suddenly asking that?"

"I just... I think you, teacher... are really incredible."

“There are so many incredible things in this world—” Yun Ping walked up to Zhang Ruoxue, placed his hand on the girl’s head, and looked at the always strong black-haired girl in front of him with a faint smile on his face: “In the future, you will also have the opportunity to go out and see this vast world and see those incredible things.”

Zhang Ruoxue nodded somewhat blankly, then realized what she meant, "Then... Teacher, are you Emperor Wen or not?"

In response to Zhang Ruoxue's question, Yunping simply smiled.

"What difference does it make whether I am or not?"

Zhang Ruoxue: "..."

Although she felt that she had used some impressive-sounding words to brush off the question, Zhang Ruoxue did not press the matter further.

It was at this moment that the gate separating the front and back yards was forcefully pushed open.

With a bang—

Three figures made a dazzling appearance!

"You old scoundrel! Something terrible has happened!"

Yunping glanced at Ye Yuchan and the other two who suddenly appeared from the backyard, recalling that he seemed to have helped them distract Jiang Shaoguang earlier.

The reason these three suddenly jumped out is probably because of the third brother's matter.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

Looking at Fan Luokui's pale face, Yunping was a little curious—why did even little Luokui have this expression?

Could that letter be a suicide note? Did the third brother's wife jump off a cliff and commit suicide?

It can't be that dramatic, right?

Ye Yuchan, her face filled with anxiety and shock, pulled out the pieced-together letter from her bosom, pointed to the delicate handwriting on it, and took a deep breath.

"You old scoundrel, you might not believe it..."

"Third Senior Brother, he..."

"I'm going to get cheated on."

……

Yun Ping and Zhang Ruoxue: "???"

7. Jiang Shaoguang, you...

"What's going on... I don't remember doing anything wrong... Why is everyone staring at me like that?"

The blond youth, looking haggard and as if he hadn't slept for days and in very poor spirits, scratched his head in a daze, his voice unconsciously becoming unsteady.

At this moment, standing in front of Jiang Shaoguang were the other disciples of Yuntian Academy—even Gu Wangjun, who was engrossed in watering flowers and farming, had temporarily taken off his garden apron and was staring at him with a serious expression.

As for the young man in white shirt who was sitting in an old man's rocking chair, holding a cola in his left hand and holding Xiao Linyuan in his right arm, wearing sunglasses and looking like a gangster boss, he was Jiang Shaoguang's master.

To be honest, Jiang Shaoguang is completely bewildered right now.

Putting aside the fact that his teacher suddenly asked him to come to the front yard without any reason, the group of senior and junior students standing in front of him was enough to confuse him.

Could it be that after all this time of procrastination, the master is finally going to lead the other disciples in killing pigeons to prove their Dao?

Should I make a quick getaway right now?

Jiang Shaoguang's pigeon instincts made him realize the seriousness of the situation. Just as he was considering whether he should run away, the old rogue spoke up.

"Third brother, you haven't seemed to be in a good mood these past few days. Has something happened?"

Faced with Yun Ping's seemingly knowing question, Jiang Shaoguang paused for a few seconds, then scratched his face and looked away slightly: "This... it's because I've been having nightmares lately, which means I often can't get a good night's sleep, so..."

"Liar!"

Lin Yuan was 100% certain that what her senior brother said was a lie.

Although the little girl's voice was still childish, her earnest tone made her words resounding: "Third Senior Brother is clearly like this because of Sister Su!"

Jiang Shaoguang: "..."

Countless gazes converged on this usually cheerful and optimistic blond youth from different angles, making Jiang Shaoguang, who was the focus of attention, feel a rare sense of unease.

Especially after Lin Yuan hit the nail on the head...

He sighed silently, then forced a wry smile that wouldn't be easily seen through, and spoke casually.

"What... What are you talking about? I just didn't sleep well last night. And every morning I have to argue with Junior Sister Luo Kui. Over time, my mental state has deteriorated, so I've been staying in my room to rest these past few days."

"It has nothing to do with Su Yu, you're overthinking it~"

Fan Luo Kui raised an eyebrow, a look of astonishment appearing on her cheeks: "Why does this sound like you're blaming me..."

Jiang Shaoguang glanced at her with a smile, "Actually, it has little to do with Junior Sister Luo Kui. To put it bluntly, it's because she didn't sleep well last night."

Fan Luokui blinked, exchanging a complicated look with the others who had also read the letter—

If they hadn't already possessed crucial evidence, they might have been fooled by Jiang Shaoguang's seemingly flawless acting skills.

Putting everything else aside, as a pigeon spirit, her acting skills are truly superb.

The old rogue gave Jiang Shaoguang, who was still forcing a smile, a cold look, and then said, "Third brother, it seems you won't turn back until you hit a brick wall."

"Um, Prosecutor Yuchan, please present the evidence!"

"Yes, Your Honor."

With a serious expression, Ye Yuchan took two steps and came to the center between Yun Ping and Jiang Shaoguang. Then, under Jiang Shaoguang's shocked gaze, she took out the envelope that the three female disciples had pieced together earlier.

Ye Yuchan carefully placed it on the stone table beside Yun Ping, took a step back, and said solemnly.

"Your Honor, this is the decisive evidence."

"Hmm." Yunping nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you for your hard work, Prosecutor Yuchan."

Yu Chan smiled and nodded, then returned to the queue.

Staring at the pieced-together letter, Jiang Shaoguang remained dazed for a long time, as if all the muscles in his face had completely stiffened, and the bitterness in his eyes grew even stronger.

Yunping sighed deeply. He glanced at the letter on the table, recalling the heart-wrenching words written on it, and his tone softened considerably.

"Shaoguang, although I touched your things without your permission, I cannot stand idly by while you are in this state."

"We've already read the contents of this letter. Do you think we can still keep it a secret?"

……

Jiang Shaoguang fell silent.

He didn't suddenly blurt out, "I have an objection!" as Yunping had expected.

Instead, he simply remained silent, staring at the letter paper full of cracks and repair marks, and then, as if unwilling to look at it, he closed his eyes.

His gaze shifted, and a bitter smile crept onto his lips. He stared at his mentor and said softly, "Now that you've read the letter, there's no point in me lying anymore."

Jiang Shaoguang seemed to have resigned himself to his fate. He raised his head, looked up at the azure sky, and let out a long sigh.

"Just like the letter said..."

"She's getting married..."

……

Everyone fell silent.

They were all members of Yuntian Academy and disciples of Yunping, and they all lived in this not-so-spacious courtyard.

No one is a bad person with a wicked personality; everyone has their own unique characteristics and things in common.
