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

However, Yunping said nonchalantly, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. You don't need to worry about it. This inheritance is your good fortune. I won't steal it. Why are you so afraid?"

"..."

Fang Yan was speechless for a moment, so he could only scratch his head and give an awkward smile.

As expected... in front of a senior... one really can't hide anything.

……

After Fang Yan left, the front courtyard of Yuntian Academy fell silent once again.

Yunping sat at the stone table, eating peanuts, but his gaze was fixed on the distance, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.

He thought that after the events at the academy over those three days, he would finally be able to settle down for a while, but unexpectedly, the Tomb of the Half-Immortal suddenly appeared and even became involved with the Twenty-One Extremes.

However, there should be many treasures inside the Tomb of the Half-Immortal. Bringing Ye Yuchan and the others along could help them improve their cultivation level and strength.

Of course, this is on the premise that there won't be any troublesome things inside.

"A fortune teller..."

It's getting more and more complicated.

……

Time flies by.

The nights at Yuntian Academy are always quieter than ever.

In the already small courtyard house, Zhang Ruoxue and the others finished their cultivation for the day and returned to their respective rooms.

These days, the disciples' cultivation paths have been quite stable. Apart from focusing on their own practice of techniques and martial arts, they occasionally engage in brief skirmishes (internal squabbles within the academy).

For example, Zhang Ruoxue and Ye Yuchan—

These two girls had the best relationship among the old rogue's female disciples. As they became more and more familiar with each other, it eventually evolved into Ye Yuchan using her cultivation advantage to toy with Zhang Ruoxue in the morning, and at night, when the moon came out, Zhang Ruoxue, with her cultivation level of the Transcendent God stage, pinned Ye Yuchan down.

To put it in the words of an old rogue, Ye Yuchan was the top during the day and the bottom at night... Their unusually strange actions even made people suspect that they were secretly having a lesbian relationship.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui continued their cat-and-mouse game (play), but recently, because Jiang Shaoguang has been lazy and not practicing his skills, he has gradually been caught up by Fan Luokui, and every day when he returns to the courtyard, he is covered in ice shards.

Jiang Yuetian continued to work as Xiao Yuan'er's nanny, cooking every day until she was exhausted. Although she didn't neglect her cultivation, she seemed to have all her energy drained by Xiao Yuan'er every day, and she was very listless.

As for the newcomer, Duan Xingchen...

She seems to have been getting close to the eldest brother, Gu Wangjun, recently, apparently because the two of them have a strong interest in cultivating spiritual plants—after all, Gu Wangjun's lifelong dream is to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and then focus on cultivating spiritual plants, and he even has the idea of ​​opening a spiritual plant shop.

Daily life at Yuntian Academy is so relaxed, completely devoid of the evil atmosphere of fighting, killing, and treachery.

However, tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.

A figure cautiously pushed open the door, its wary gaze sweeping around the empty courtyard again and again. Only after confirming that no one was there did it slowly step out of the room.

He was extremely cautious, not daring to make a sound at all. Even closing the door was done quietly, his eyes fixed on the seam where the door was sealed, carefully closing it as if trying not to make a sound.

After doing all this, the dark figure tiptoed toward the gate, glanced at the closed door, felt a chill, raised its neck, looked at the not-so-high wall, and already had an idea in mind.

He bent his knees, then with a light push of his legs, he leaped up almost silently, perfectly vaulting over the wall and successfully arriving outside the courtyard.

puff--

It made only a very faint sound when it landed.

The whole process was smooth and perfect!

Just as he was feeling pleased with his skillful technique—

Suddenly, a white light flashed.

In an instant, the natural cloak of night that enveloped him vanished, revealing his true form.

He seemed to feel a bit blinded, covered his eyes, and looked ahead with a mixture of confusion and astonishment.

It was a young girl.

A girl stood before him, looking completely bewildered, yet radiating a dazzling light—

"Second Senior Brother?"

Surrounded by a white light, Duan Xingchen stared blankly at the purple-haired beauty before him, seemingly somewhat puzzled—

"what are you doing here?"

6. It's you again? Unbelievable.

Jiang Yuetian was arrested.

Unfortunately, when he was about to sneak out of Yuntian Academy in the dead of night, he was caught by a self-luminous creature that appeared outside the door for some unknown reason.

Facing Duan Xingchen, who was shining with dazzling holy light beside him, Jiang Yuetian awkwardly looked away.

"Would you believe me if I said I just couldn't sleep and went for a walk?"

"If you're just out for a stroll—there's no need to climb over the wall, right?"

Duan Xingchen's expression suddenly turned confused as he looked at Jiang Yuetian, clearly finding his second senior brother somewhat suspicious.

Jiang Yuetian slapped his forehead, his expression heavy—oh, so that's how it is… even his act of climbing over the wall was seen…

There's no other way now.

Seemingly realizing that he could no longer hide it, Jiang Yuetian had no choice but to tell the junior sister in front of him, who had only been at Yuntian Academy for a short time, the purpose of his late-night outing.

After listening to Jiang Yuetian's explanation, a strange look involuntarily flashed across Duan Xingchen's face.

"Bet...betting on horses?"

Yes, that's why our Xiao Jiang went out late at night.

Jiang Yuetian chuckled and scratched his head: "The annual horse racing tournament in Jinglin City... I wasn't really keen on going, but I'm running low on gold coins lately... and I've been itching to try my luck."

"Running out of gold coins?"

“Yes…” Jiang Yuetian’s expression turned as if she had eaten expired food when this was mentioned, almost as bitter as a bitter gourd: “After all, the money spent on buying vegetables for Yuan’er every day is already close to an astronomical figure…”

Indeed—given Yuan'er's appetite, the ingredients alone would consume a lot of gold coins.

However, judging from Jiang Yuetian's current state, Duan Xingchen still felt that the reason he wanted to gamble was because he couldn't resist the urge to gamble.

Who would have thought that the seemingly dignified and virtuous second senior brother, who possessed the aura of a stunning beauty, would have such an unusual hobby?

"Compared to this—"

Seemingly finding it a bit too bright, Jiang Yuetian rubbed her sore eyes, her purple pupils hesitant to look directly at Duan Xingchen: "Xingchen, could you... turn the light down a bit?"

To be honest, because of her Holy Body, Duan Xingchen was practically a miniature artificial sun at night. Her light was so dazzling that it was almost blinding. Although she did look very holy and had the air of a saintess, it was also incredibly easy to blind people...

As soon as Jiang Yuetian said this, a look of helplessness appeared on Duan Xingchen's cheeks. She seemed to be very distressed as she scratched her dark blue hair and sighed.

"That's why I'm here..."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the light was too bright, and it could even reach me through the room. When I lay down to sleep, I thought someone had turned on the bedside lamp."

At that moment, a silly person with no chest, no figure, no money, but wearing sunglasses, walked out of the darkness beside him.

Ye Yuchan silently pushed up her sunglasses, then patted Duan Xingchen's shoulder and yawned at Jiang Yuetian: "So I called Xingchen out to see if there was any way to make her tone down her brilliance a little."

"Junior Sister Yu Chan, you're here too..."

—Before, because Duan Xingchen's light was too eye-catching, Jiang Yuetian did not notice that there was a silly cicada hiding not far away.

Duan Xingchen sighed helplessly, "I've been cultivating this physique since I was a child. Actually, it wasn't this bright before, but after cultivating the Cleansing Demon Desolation Record that my teacher gave me, the light seems to have suddenly become much brighter..."

"Turns out this is the old rogue's fault again."

Without saying a word, Ye Yuchan pinned the blame on the old rogue, then took out a brand new pair of sunglasses from her storage ring and tossed them to Jiang Yuetian.

After taking the sunglasses, Jiang Yuetian hesitated for a few seconds before putting them on—thus preventing her eyes from being further exposed to Duan Xingchen's bright light.

Seemingly finding it strange, Jiang Yuetian asked, "Junior Sister Yu Chan, where did you get this?"

"I got them from that old rogue~" Ye Yuchan chuckled. "He likes to wear sunglasses all the time to go out and sunbathe. I thought those sunglasses were pretty cool, so I borrowed a few from him, and now they come in handy."

"Indeed, with this, looking at the stars isn't so painful anymore."

Duan Xingchen lowered her head in grievance.

"So, what do you plan to do? How do you deal with the luminous physique of the Star's Holy Body?"

"It seems we have no choice but to go find that old rogue."

Ye Yuchan spread her hands, expressing her helplessness.

They had just tried many possible methods, but the light on Duan Xingchen's body showed no sign of fading, and even almost caused a burst of light like a solar explosion several times.

So, while this holy body is indeed an extraordinary constitution, it must be admitted that it still has many inconveniences—especially at night.

"But it's too late now. Let's go find the teacher for a solution tomorrow."

Ye Yuchan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, at this time, the old rogue is probably still fast asleep."

"so--"

In an instant, Yu Chan's expression suddenly became full of interest.

She smiled and looked at Jiang Yuetian directly in front of her, gazing at the incredibly handsome second senior brother and staring at his fair and delicate face.

"Since we're just killing time anyway, Second Brother, let's go with you to the horse racing convention!"

"Us?!" Duan Xingchen was startled. Why was he suddenly included?!

Ye Yuchan turned around and hooked her arm around Duan Xingchen's shoulder. "Anyway, we're just killing time. Besides, Xingchen... we're already out here, so why not go check out the annual horse racing event?"

"That's what they say..."

Duan Xingchen was still somewhat hesitant.

As the former Holy Maiden of the Holy Maiden Sect, she was often pampered by two people of extremely high status from the Holy Feather Sect, so she basically never left the house until she had mastered the Holy Body, at which point she would occasionally go out to fight some demons.

She had only heard of places of ill repute such as gambling dens and brothels, but had never actually set foot in them.

This horse racing convention must be a similar venue, right?

She still remembers what her older brother, Duan Xingyao, had told her—
