The mood of everyone who had returned to the Drunken Immortal Residence was quite good.
First and foremost was Yan Laoguai, who kept nodding in satisfaction and smiling, which left Hong Lianhua somewhat puzzled.
Unintentionally, she asked, "Boss, is that Zi Family girl capable or not?"
Upon hearing Hong Lianhua's question, Yan Laoguai suddenly felt a chill and glared at her ominously. "Charming Lady, have you forgotten our oath when we took over? Do not question the master's origins! Is this something we subordinates are allowed to ask or say?"
"Uh?—Sister, my bad. But there's no need for you to get so worked up! It's just that I see the master is too young. Naturally, I have some concerns, just concerns."
"Hmph! What is there to worry about? With our young master being young, we are still here, right? Our task is to assist and guide the master well. Moreover—"
At this point, Yan Laoguai suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, looking deep and serious as he nodded to himself and continued, "Our master is definitely not a simple little girl; she has great abilities! And her future husband is no ordinary person either. Charming Lady, oh Charming Lady! It’s not that I underestimate you as the older brother; your vision still has much room for improvement. If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see!"
Seeing Hong Lianhua's half-believing gaze, Yan Laoguai smiled mysteriously at the two in front of him.
Then he changed the subject: "Elderly Couple Three, how did you find the food at the Purple Family Spiced Braised Meat Shop today?"
"Mm! Satisfied, very satisfied! I've eaten countless delicious dishes from all over the country, but I've never tasted anything as fragrant and spicy as today’s meal. It’s simply indescribable!"
Lu Yuan, who had been quiet until now, suddenly nodded in praise.
Hong Lianhua was momentarily stunned by Qian Sha Jun—Lu Yuan's exaggerated expression and astonishing words.
Yan Laoguai burst into laughter.
After laughing, Yan Laoguai turned to the seemingly carved statue-like Hong Lianhua and asked, "So—how does Third Sister feel?"
Seeing Yan Laoguai staring at her, Hong Lianhua suddenly came to her senses.
Her mind quickly recalled the various aromatic braised delicacies they had tasted earlier that seemed ordinary in appearance but were incredibly memorable.
She answered somewhat hesitantly, "Well, yes. Although the ingredients look rough and are things that people used to avoid eating, after their processing and cooking, they truly become exquisite delicacies."
"Rough? Charming Lady, your description is quite interesting. However, the most remarkable thing is that our young master can turn such rough materials into such delicious dishes. Do you think our master is just a simple country person from a small place?"
"Uh? Oh! I understand now." Hong Lianhua finally realized, "With such a keen and meticulous mind, she is naturally someone who can achieve great things. But what about that young gentleman—?"
It seemed that Hong Lianhua's thoughts were momentarily blocked by something, and the usually quiet Lu Yuan could no longer hold back.
Shaking his head and letting out a long sigh, he said, "Alas—Charming Lady, no wonder you haven't chosen a good successor yet. You still haven't seen it clearly. Think again; that young gentleman's eloquence, demeanor, and the aura he exudes are evident to anyone with discerning eyes. He is certainly not an ordinary person."
"Ah—Second Brother has insight. He either remains silent or makes a stunning impression. Second Brother, I admire your perceptiveness."
"Wherever, wherever. I am not talented; the one with the strongest insight is naturally my elder brother."
Feeling embarrassed by the praise, Qian Sha Jun could only mumble modestly.
Meanwhile, the three elders of the Heavenly Pivot Sect were chatting and speculating about their new master and those around her.
Speaking of which, Ling Yuxuan led Ziyan directly into Jishitang, passing through the consultation room and courtyard to arrive at the inner residence of Old Man Mo.
Old Man Mo had already received word and had brewed a pot of fragrant tea, sitting in the courtyard waiting for their arrival.
When the three met, they silently nodded to each other. Old Man Mo poured each of them a cup of tea. Then he elegantly brought his cup to his nose to smell it a few times before taking a gentle sip.
Finally, he kindly smiled at Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan, nodding as he asked, "Have you both made your plans?"
"Yes!" Ling Yuxuan gently held one of Ziyan's small hands, and they both nodded in response to Old Man Mo.
"I have known some things about the Heavenly Pivot Sect for quite some time: the rules of the Heavenly Pivot Sect are very strict. Anyone who inherits the position of sect leader must be personally appointed by the previous Leader and must obtain the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant to take over. Now that several elders have come from afar, they are sincerely accepting you, so you need not worry. However, if you want all the disciples of the Heavenly Pivot Sect to fully accept you, you must achieve some results once you enter the sect. Only then can they truly submit to you from their hearts. This way, you can be considered a true Heavenly Pivot Sect Leader, completely surpassing all disciples within the sect."
"Yes! Thank you, Mo Old Man. No, wait—thank you for your reminder, Master." Ziyan playfully stuck out her tongue and then blinked her beautiful big eyes.
"Uh? Hahaha—You girl." Old Man Mo couldn't help but laugh, his face filled with helplessness.
"Sigh—Master, Ziyan is already starting to feel reluctant to part with you. What should I do?"
Ziyan gently sighed. After more than two years of intertwining and interaction with Old Man Mo, she now regarded him as her elder. As an elder, there was naturally a sense of reluctance in her heart.
Now that the time for parting was near, Ziyan felt a myriad of emotions. Old Man Mo was not only a mentor and friend to her and Ling Yuxuan but also a strong spiritual and practical support for both of them.
"Girl, from now on, just call me Elder or Old Demon. One moment you call me Mo Old Man, the next moment Master; it sounds like you're unwilling! I'm worried for you. How about this! From now on, just call me Old Demon; that title sounds much better." Old Man Mo joked.
"Uh? Oh! Is it my fault then—But I think calling you Old Demon sounds nice, easy to say, and friendly."
"Haha! Little thing." Old Man Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Uh? You even called me little thing? Fine, we're even now." Ziyan pouted. However, it was only for a moment before she quickly regained her cheerful mood. The outside world was vast and open; she could finally go out and explore officially. Moreover, there were so many people who cared for her; she truly felt blessed! Ziyan secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Throughout this time, Ling Yuxuan had been quietly smiling and watching the exchange between Beloved Child and Old Man Mo.
"However, Young Master, you must pay attention to protecting your identity on this trip. You cannot afford any mistakes!" After finishing his instructions to Ziyan, Old Man Mo turned to Ling Yuxuan with concern.
"Mm! I will. But what about Master?" Thus, the group discussed this issue back and forth and ultimately decided that the two would return to Hot Spring Valley to bid farewell to Qin Ming since it was still early.
So, Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan, along with Wu Xiang and several Clerks, hurriedly made their way to the small forest at the mountain's entrance outside the city. They instructed the Clerks to lead the horses back along the same route.
Ling Yuxuan, Ziyan, and Wu Xiang quickly entered the forest. Once inside, the three of them used their lightness skills to leap forward.
Before long, they passed by Hot Spring Valley and crossed several mountain peaks before returning to the hillside opposite Ziyan's home.
At this moment, Qin Ming was sorting through rare herbs he had found in the forest with several Masked Men. Upon seeing Ziyan and her companion, Qin Ming set down his work and walked over with a smile.
Seemingly sensing something, Qin Ming spoke first: "Are you leaving this county?"
"Mm!" Ling Yuxuan nodded, looking at her master who had been with her for over ten years. Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of reluctance and choked up inside.
"Disciple, there's no need to be sad. There are no feasts that don't end in this world. Moreover, I can still guard this forest for you and cultivate talents that you can use."
Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan understood Qin Ming's words. Qin Ming was not only going to protect their treasure but also safeguard the herbs and spice trees in this forest for them.
Furthermore, they would need a continuous supply of reliable candidates in the future, making this place an excellent training ground for Old Man Mo and Qin Ming to train newcomers.
This way, they could prevent anyone from coming here to disrupt the tranquility of the forest. This was their base! It was essential to have capable, experienced individuals guarding and stationed here.
For Ziyan and Ling Yuxuan, this place was a treasure, a true treasure.
Of course, since they had returned, they would naturally prepare a delicious meal for Qin Ming and the guards protecting the mountain. However, just as they were about to finish their meal, a series of terrified screams from startled birds echoed through Mountain Valley.
Everyone instinctively put down their chopsticks. Qin Ming exchanged glances with two guards, who immediately leaped down the mountain.
Curious, Ziyan pulled Ling Yuxuan to the yard near the cliff, which faced their home. Peering over, they were surprised to see several villagers in Mountain Valley shooting birds.
A few daring youths even rushed into their yard and began rummaging around. When they found nothing of value, they exited the yard but not before setting it on fire.
Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky from the yard. The cries of the flying birds in the surrounding woods became even more mournful.
