Chapter 132: Brother Mu, Let’s Go See the Peach Blossoms Tomorrow! p2
…
Could that Dao Peak woman be interested in me…? Why was she staring at me like that…? Mu Zhi’an wondered, feeling her gaze lingering on him as he left the Pilgrimage Palace.
Or did she discover my secret…?
It wasn’t impossible.
An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might not have noticed.
But Yu Ziyan was different. She was powerful, and Dao Peak’s cultivation path granted them an exceptional sensitivity to spiritual energy. She might have sensed his two Vessels.
He had felt something off when she had offered to replenish his spiritual energy.
But refusing her offer would have been rude…
And even if she knew his secret, it wasn’t a big deal.
He wouldn’t lose anything. At worst, he would lose some spiritual energy if she approached him…
He reached the library, lost in thought.
The Two Polarities Sect had ten main peaks and two shores…
The library was located on the North Shore.
And the Enforcement Hall was on the South Shore.
He entered the library, completed the necessary procedures, and after waiting for a while, a disciple led him to the back of the building, where they crossed a golden bridge suspended in the air.
After a fifteen-minute walk, they reached a spacious pavilion(Shao Le Residence).
It was his first time seeing Master Yan’s residence. The environment was elegant and peaceful, the sun warm, the breeze gentle, the garden filled with blooming flowers.
The disciple left, and he entered the pavilion, finding Yan Ruyu in a side room.
She seemed to have changed clothes, her figure accentuated by a thin black robe, her hair tied back with a jade hairpin, a few strands framing her face, giving her an air of effortless allure.
Her ample bosom strained against the fabric of her robe, and her long, shapely legs were visible beneath it. Her beauty was both mature and captivating…
She’s not as big as Ruoxi, but she’s close… And she looks so young… He quickly looked away, bowing respectfully.
“Greetings, Master Yan.”
“Come in. There are no outsiders here. You can relax,” she said, smiling, putting down a scroll, then gesturing towards a chair.
“You must be wondering why I chose you as an inner disciple.”
I am, but not really… He chuckled inwardly.
He could sense her favor towards him. And he suspected it was either because she knew about his Vessel, or because she knew about Ling Long…
Of course, he wasn’t certain. It was just a guess…
“I am curious, Master Yan. Would you enlighten me…?”
She studied his handsome face, her eyes filled with a playful warmth, then she shook her head. “You’ll find out eventually… But not now.”
She retrieved a jade slip from her sleeve, placing it on the table.
“I haven’t recruited an inner disciple in a long time, so I don’t have any proper gifts. Take this if you’re interested.”
“You’re too kind, Master Yan. Serving you is an honor. Gifts are unnecessary—”
He glanced at the jade slip, his eyes widening. “A second-grade formation…?”
If he didn’t know how rare second-grade formations were, he would think they were commonplace…
Even elders rarely possessed them.
Only someone like her, the master of the library, could casually produce such a treasure…
Formations in this world were incredibly complex, and second-grade formations were exceedingly rare. They were as valuable as first-grade techniques.
She truly is wealthy…
Well, she’s been in the Two Polarities Sect for a long time. It’s natural for her to have accumulated some wealth… He bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Master Yan! If you ever need anything, I’ll gladly serve you…”
“There’s no need for that,” she replied, her voice softening.
“But… I might need your help sometime…”
She quickly changed the subject. “As an inner disciple, you’ll receive a much higher stipend and more resources than ordinary disciples. And if you have any questions regarding your cultivation, you can always come to me.”
“I’ve accepted you as my disciple. I’ll guide you…”
Master Yan is so nice!
He looked at her, his eyes filled with gratitude.
She nodded, pleased by his sincerity…
She would take things slowly. She wouldn’t mention her cultivation problems until they had built a stronger bond…
And she wasn’t in a hurry.
He was here now. His sect token was marked. Where could he possibly run?
He didn’t realize that while he was busy cultivating his pond, he had inadvertently attracted a shark… And now she was plotting to devour him…
…
After chatting for a while, he finished his tea and excused himself, taking the second-grade formation with him.
As he left the pavilion and approached the library, he saw Ye Lingxuan standing nearby, her purple dress swirling gently in the breeze, her legs slender and graceful, her beauty enhanced by the sunlight.
She seemed to sense his gaze, turning to look at him, smiling. “Young Master Mu.”
He approached her, smiling. “There’s no one else here. You don’t have to call me that. It sounds so distant…”
She hesitated, then murmured softly, “…Brother Mu”
That’s better… He smiled, then glanced around. “Where’s Qian’er?”
“My master is helping her expand her meridians. She’ll be meditating on Dao Peak for the next two days.”
She hesitated, her gaze lingering on his handsome face. “My master said that visiting the Pilgrimage Palace with someone you love can grant you a temporary destiny blessing. It might not last long, but it’s still beneficial for cultivation.”
She blushed, her eyes meeting his, her voice soft.
“If you’re free tomorrow, let’s go see the peach blossoms at the Pilgrimage Palace.”
Another snow lotus flower disaster brewing….
