They are the women standing behind me.

The old man was incredulous and said, "This news spread very quickly. No one in history has ever dared to act like this, let alone a mere cultivator in the early Jindan stage. However, he is an unparalleled genius, and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect is a major force in the extreme southern region..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingwei's face turned pale and she couldn't close her red lips in shock. This person was truly "top-notch" to the extreme.

The old man teased with a half-smile, "Xingwei, I think the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect will be bustling with activity in the future. There will definitely be no shortage of geniuses who want to step on arrogant and conceited people like Qin Xingyuan."

"Ah."

Xu Xingwei came back to her senses and couldn't help laughing. "Haha, such an arrogant person, sooner or later he will learn what it means that there are always people better than you and there are always things better than you."

At this moment, the old man asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Xingwei asked me to collect information about Qin Xingyuan. Why did she ask me to do that?"

"Old Mu, when I entered the formation realm earlier, I heard this person boasting that he was from the same era as my Xu family's ancestor, so my Xu family's ancestor was no longer invincible."

Xu Xingwei said angrily with a rather unpleasant expression, "He even told me that I was just sitting in a well, with a narrow vision, and that I didn't know how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was."

Anger appeared on the old man's face, and his cloudy eyes suddenly widened.

"When Mr. Mu asked me about this before, I didn't tell him because someone might use his name to do something that would ruin his reputation."

Xu Xingwei snorted lightly and said with some disdain, "But now it seems that it is basically him. After all, he is just as arrogant and conceited. This guy is really easy to recognize!"

"This bastard is really arrogant. How dare he disrespect the founder of our sect?!"

The old man's face turned pale and he flew into a rage, "The Grandmaster was unrivaled in the great era. How could a mere early Jindan realm cultivator like him imagine such a person?!"

"It's a pity that this person and I are not on the same level, otherwise I would have personally come to his house and defeated him."

Xu Xingwei said with some regret, "But forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with a mere insignificant figure in the early Jindan stage. Let him be arrogant..."

She said this with a smile on her face, "How crazy he is now, how miserable he will be when he falls. Humph, I'm really looking forward to that day."

"Xingwei, I'll take my leave now."

After the old man said this, he turned around and said goodbye, but went to the main hall of the Sword Sect, paid a visit to the Supreme Leader of the Sect, and explained some things to him.

……

In the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sect.

In the small courtyard building where Qin Xingyuan lives.

Ye Yunmei watched Gu Yirou, who was trembling with rage like a ferocious beast, and tried to smooth things over by saying, "Yirou, it's useless for you to kill Junior Brother Qin now. Besides, your anger is over. Don't... hold on to it."

She had no choice. She was here too, so she naturally felt her ears buzzing when listening to Gu Yirou's nagging.

It's really unbearable.

Gu Yirou's face remained livid, her beautiful eyes blazing with anger as she angrily scolded, "Junior Brother Qin, if you go out and listen now, you'll know what people outside will say about Qin Xingyuan. They'll even laugh at you in their hearts! From now on, when people talk about you, oh, that Qin Xingyuan from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, I know you're just a conceited, arrogant, and ridiculous person. Do you really like this, Junior Brother Qin?"

"Yirou, you've been talking for so long, but Junior Brother Qin still needs to read and practice."

Ye Yunmei continued to persuade: "You should..."

"Yunmei! Shut up!!!"

Gu Yirou now seemed like she would explode at the slightest provocation, lashing out at whoever she caught, and said menacingly, "Leave it alone!!! Otherwise, I'll tell you off too!!!"

Ye Yunmei's scalp tingled. She had never seen Gu Yirou so angry before.

As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely cold voice came: "Junior Brother Qin, Junior Sister Gu, Junior Sister Ye."

This voice startled Qin Xingyuan. So cold?

It actually made him feel so chilled to the bone!

As he was sitting, he saw a beautiful woman standing at the door. She was wearing a purple robe, cold as ice, with a dot of vermilion on her brow. She looked both cold and ethereal, and noble and dignified.

This is……

who? !

"Elder Mei!"

Ye Yunmei and Gu Yirou quickly raised their hands and clasped their fists. Ye Yunmei asked curiously, "Why is Elder Mei here?"

"I'm here under the order of Nangong Taishang to be responsible for training and teaching Junior Brother Qin."

Ye Yunmei didn't feel strange after hearing what Mei Xueshuang said.

It would be surprising if the sect really did not send anyone to "educate and guide" Qin Xingyuan, and actually completely ignored it, did nothing, and made no movement.

Gu Yirou frowned in anger.

She didn't know why, but she felt a strange feeling in her heart. She felt that training Junior Brother Qin was her business, and she really didn't want others to interfere. She had an instinctive resistance and rejection to this.

Qin Xingyuan was completely defeated and felt extremely desperate.

isn't it?

Could it be... Could it be that I will still have to listen to someone preaching to me in the future?

But two people take turns or come together?

What the hell!

Who can bear this?

Mei Xueshuang asked in a cold voice, somewhat puzzled, "Why are Junior Sister Ye and Junior Sister Gu here?"

"Elder Mei, in fact, Yirou and Junior Brother Qin's master have long known Junior Brother Qin's personality. Some time ago, Yirou was asked to privately teach Junior Brother Qin on his behalf, and Yirou even dragged me along..."

Ye Yunmei sighed listlessly, "We have been trying so hard until today, but there is no effect."

Hearing this, Mei Xueshuang took a good look at Gu Yirou, whose face was grim and angry in her watery eyes. Then she looked at Ye Yunmei, whose face was full of helplessness and looked like an eggplant hit by frost...

They're definitely not incompetent, but they've been working so hard until today, and there's still... no... results?!

Mei Xueshuang was already beginning to regret it.

Chapter 18: There are thousands of female cultivators in the world

……

Because of the arrival of Elder Mei Xue Shuang, Gu Yirou didn't plan to keep Qin Xingyuan there any longer. She couldn't let him be so rude and unruly in front of the sect elders without even saying hello.

Although they are indeed older in generation, the gap in realm is still there. One has to treat people like Mei Xueshuang, who have reached the minor perfection of the Spiritual Dispersion Realm, as elders.

As soon as she raised her hand, Qin Xingyuan immediately stood up and saluted to Elder Mei Xueshuang.

After Mei Xueshuang nodded, Qin Xingyuan, who was also a straightforward person, said directly: "Elder Mei, since my master has given Senior Sister Gu the title of disciple, then... Actually, my Senior Sister Gu will do her best to polish and teach me on behalf of my master... And I only need my Senior Sister Gu..."

Of course he knew he shouldn't say that, but he was really afraid of having to listen to both of them preaching together or taking turns.

He couldn't calm down just thinking about it.

Listening to Gu Yirou's lectures every day is already deadly enough, if there is one more person...

Damn it! This life is really unbearable!

Gu Yirou's mood was better.

It seems that Qin Xingyuan is not willing to have others teach him? And he only wants her?

Mei Xueshuang, who was wearing a purple robe and looked noble and dignified, stood there with a cold face.

She naturally understood the deep meaning of Qin Xingyuan's words.

In fact, since Gu Yirou accepted the master's order, there was actually someone responsible for her training and polishing. But unfortunately, she was already in a difficult situation and had no way to withdraw.

Otherwise, how could she explain this to Nangong Taishang?

Go and tell Nangong Taishang that Master Qin Xingyuan has asked his own senior sister to teach on his behalf?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

After all, in the eyes of Nangong Taishang, isn’t it better for two people to teach together than for Gu Yirou to teach alone?

But Qin Xingyuan's attitude was very clear, and when Gu Yirou heard what Qin Xingyuan said, she didn't even say a word.

Judging from this, Gu Yirou probably doesn't want her to interfere, right?

Mei Xueshuang's mind was as clear as a mirror, but the problem was that she really couldn't just let it go.

Otherwise, what would the higher-ups think? How would they view her?

Moreover, even if she was just a figurehead in this matter and did not contribute at all, waiting for Gu Yirou to polish and teach her, at least in the eyes of Nangong Taishang, she still had some credit.

People like Nangong Taishang would never ask about the specific process and would only look at the results.

Mei Xueshuang's mind moved, and then she said, "Junior Brother Qin, I just accepted the mission from Nangong Taishang, and it's really hard to push it now, so I will come every day, but I will just come to sit and chat. I won't bother you or say anything else. You can just pretend I don't exist. After all, since you have Senior Sisters Gu and Ye to polish and teach you, I believe they can definitely do a good job."

Qin Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was already very happy that he didn't have to listen to the two people's nagging.

But when he thought about it this way, Qin Xingyuan began to doubt his life again.

What kind of miserable life is he leading now?

He missed the time when he was a quiet handsome man, who only practiced in seclusion.

It is so pleasant, so wonderful...

It was as if he was running in the sunset, his youth that had completely passed away...

Then Mei Xueshuang, who was wearing a purple robe, turned around and left, disappearing.

"Junior Brother Qin, I want to tell you..."

Gu Yirou suddenly turned her head and looked at Qin Xingyuan.

Suddenly, his and Ye Yunmei's hearts began to beat wildly.

Ye Yunmei quickly spoke up, desperately trying to find a topic to talk about. "Junior Brother Qin, what do you think of Elder Mei? Who is prettier, your Senior Sister Gu or Elder Mei?"

Ye Yunmei wanted to change the subject and also asked Qin Xingyuan to praise Gu Yirou.

Who doesn’t like to hear nice words?

Besides, Ye Yunmei is also a woman. She knows that if a woman is angry, she can be coaxed to be happy...

Otherwise, Gu Yirou would not be able to calm down, and she would have more troubles in the future.

Qin Xingyuan is having a hard time like this, but if she is there and listening, will she feel better?

It was really difficult for Ye Yunmei to leave - since she had said that before and had opened her mouth, she had to bite the bullet and continue pretending even if she had to.

"Senior Sister Ye, looking at the world, how many women can be compared to my Senior Sister Gu?"

Qin Xingyuan was also a man of great insight, so he naturally understood what Senior Sister Ye was trying to say. He spoke in a solemn and clear voice, "There are tens of thousands of female cultivators in this world, but there is only one Senior Sister Gu. This world is so vast, there truly is no other Senior Sister Gu."

He originally wanted to say that no woman could be compared with Senior Sister Gu, but Senior Sister Ye was present. If he really said that and Senior Sister Ye heard it, she might have some thoughts in her mind.

No matter what, no one in this world likes to be compared to others.

"If that's the case, then Junior Brother Qin, are you still so stubborn? You keep making me angry? Junior Brother Qin, it's like your head is about to be cut off and your blood is about to flow, but you still insist on being so arrogant and conceited..."

Gu Yirou curled her rosy lips and snorted softly, "Senior Sister has been telling you to be more humble, but you just won't listen. If you keep acting like this, people will dislike you and beat you to death when you go out. Everyone dislikes conceited and arrogant people!"

She took the opportunity to start preaching again.

The charming and beautiful Ye Yunmei's face changed. She was afraid that her best friend and sister was really hopeless.

How could it become such a habit?

Is it true that no matter what is said, Gu Yirou can pick up on it and then start preaching mode?

This is really...amazing!

Ye Yunmei immediately said, "I didn't expect that Yirou is so well-liked by Junior Brother Qin."

Qin Xingyuan nodded vigorously, "Senior Sister Ye, I have always felt that a man who can become a Taoist partner with Senior Sister Gu in the future would be so proud that even his ancestors would be filled with joy."

"Junior Brother Qin, please stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Yirou blushed and glared at him fiercely, her voice trembling as she said, "How can you be so exaggerated?"

"Senior Sister Gu, although I am sometimes conceited and arrogant, I never speak nonsense. These are my sincere words, and they are the most sincere and honest words."

Qin Xingyuan raised his right hand and gave a thumbs-up, his eyes sincere and his tone earnest: "I, Qin Xingyuan, can actually have such a senior sister. I am really... well, this is really a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes."

Gu Yirou was more embarrassed than angry. His words were getting more and more outrageous, praising her so highly.

But actually, she found these words somewhat useful.

After all, it's not like he said anything unpleasant, scolded her, belittled her, etc., so she naturally wouldn't listen to it and would get angry instead.
