as beautiful as her smile, "I don't know you, and you're not my friend. What could I possibly say to a stranger"She seemed to make sense, the man stared at her, increasingly unsure how to retort. How..."New apprentice" the two men roared in unison.

The previously shy man exaggeratedly said to Yue Gaolou, "Master, it's only been a short while, and you're already playing favorites Just now you wanted her to be responsible for me, and now you say I'm not good enough for her Do you dare to play favorites even more"

"What are you afraid of You two little brats, listen to me! From now on, whoever dares to bully your junior sister, this old man will make them pay!" Yuege Lao crossed his arms and sternly warned the two before turning to Qin Luoyan and introducing, "My beloved disciple, meet your senior brother Xiao Fan and second senior brother Wu Yi. If you ever feel bored, feel free to bully them; Master will back you up!"

Yuege Lao's words immediately caused Xiao Fan and Wu Yi to wail even louder.

Qin Luo smiled and nodded, understanding Master Yuege's personality now. It seemed that here, one didn't need to explain anything, just protect their own people. "Thank you, Master. Can I eat something now I'm a little hungry."

“Need I say more” Elder Yuege turned around and slapped Xiao Fan on the head again. “As the eldest brother, you've got the roasted deer, why haven't you gotten your younger sister a leg Didn't you hear your younger sister say she was hungry You're really clueless.”

"Master…" Xiao Fan looked at Yuege Lao with grievance, Yuege Lao rolled his eyes and coldly pointed at the roasted wild deer.

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, pulling the shy Wu Yi back to sit down. He sliced off a piece of venison with his dagger and complained, "Junior brother, it seems like the two of us are going to be banished to the cold palace from now on."

“Alas, life is hard, life is hard.” Wu Yi also shook his head, but was it Qin Luoyan's illusion When the two of them spoke, although they complained on their lips, what gleamed in their eyes was clearly excitement, where was there a trace of disappointment

At that time, she didn't know what it meant to be favored here at Lao Ye's place.

However, she liked this unpretentious and warm feeling between master and apprentice. Here, they weren't a family by blood, but they were closer than family. She couldn't help but feel that she had made a wise decision. These four elders, especially Elder Yue, were truly the right teachers for her.

Several people gathered around the roasted venison and started eating. Elder Yuege didn't put on airs, Xiao Fan and Wu Yi were also very casual, Qin Luoyan was not a pretentious woman by nature, so after chatting for a while, the few of them quickly became acquainted.

When in high spirits, Xiao Fan even offered the esteemed elder Yuege his own treasured wine. The few of them ate meat and drank until late into the night before leaving with a touch of intoxication.

Although Qin Luoyan didn't drink much, she was touched by the carefree lifestyle of those few people. So when she arrived at the room assigned to her by Yuege Lao with a wave of his hand, she lay on the bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

A cold wind blew through the gaps, rattling the windows that were not tightly closed.

Qin Luo turned her head and saw a person suddenly standing by the window.

"Have you been drinking" Fu Zimo's voice was slightly displeased.

Qin Luoyan rolled over and sat up, casually throwing on a thin robe as she rose. She took out her fire starter and lit the candle. "How did you get here, so late"

Fu Zi Mo walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out to pull her into his arms. She stumbled and sat on his lap, the two of them instantly becoming the most intimate and ambiguous posture. "Haven't answered this king's question yet."

"After having a little, the master was pleased." Qin Luoyan snuggled obediently in his arms, her breath filled with his faint and pleasant scent.

"Master... it seems you are quite pleased with Old Master Yue." Fu Zi Mo embraced her, but his hands were not idle, slowly moving from her waist upwards.

Qin Luoyan's body stiffened for a brief moment before relaxing again, "Elder Yuege and the two senior brothers seem like very straightforward people." Yes, very straightforward, just like the companions she had in her studio back then. They devoted all their energy to weapon manufacturing, so they didn't have time for scheming and plotting.

Such a working atmosphere was Qin Luoyan's greatest hope. She didn't expect to be reborn, and she would actually have such an opportunity.

"Senior brother, calling me so intimately." Fu Zi Mo sneered, his big hand tightened with a slight pain that caused Qin Luo Yan to frown.

"What should I call him if not 'senior brother' Your Majesty...are you jealous" Didn't he say he only had six months left Damn it, this is blatant deception!

Fu Zi Mo gave a faint smile without speaking, the force in his hand loosened slightly, following her collar deeper inside, "This King feels, he's growing more and more fond of your body."

"Heh..." Qin Luoyan laughed awkwardly. Liking her body, these words were truly flattering, "Your Highness, didn't you say you would give me six months"

“Didn’t you leave Fengxi City I gave you half a year to depart, but you never said that Your Highness couldn’t follow. Besides, I didn't come for you, but since our destinations are the same, let’s just call it a coincidence.” Fu Zi Mo spoke as he effortlessly removed Qin Luo Yan’s clothes.

A cool breeze swept in, and Qin Luo'yan couldn't help but shiver. She bit her lips slightly, but her body felt as if it were on fire. When did she learn to serve him so willingly

"My lord..." she called out softly, then was flipped over and pinned to the bed by Fu Zimuo.

When love runs deep, she can't help but sneer. He likes her body, and that's all he wants. To him, it's the greatest gift; to her, it's the cruelest torture.

When dawn broke, Fu Zimo got up and left. As he was leaving, he only glanced at Qin Luoyan briefly.

When his figure disappeared at the doorway, Qin Luoyan opened her eyes, her gaze falling on the tightly closed door. She smiled, a smile that bloomed to its fullest, with tears shimmering in her eyes.

To him, she was nothing more than a tool for warmth in bed.

After washing up, Qin Luoyan came to the courtyard. The young tree in the courtyard had sprouted new buds, with tiny green shoots hinting that spring was near. Although it was still a bit cold, the chill of winter had long since passed.

She stretched languidly, doing some simple exercises in the yard, when she heard Yue Lao, dressed in an apron and carrying a large pot of congee, coming out from the kitchen. Seeing her, he had a kind smile on his face, "Girl, you're up so early"

“Master, you’re not earlier than me Master, is this porridge you made” Qin Luo Yan pointed at the porridge in his hand, her eyes full of surprise.

"If I don't cook porridge, you guys will starve to death, huh" Lao Yuege rolled his eyes and sighed, "Sigh, your second senior brother isn't a good cook at all. Your eldest senior brother is quite skilled in the kitchen, but he rarely cooks. In this situation, we have no choice but to rely on Wei Shi."

"No, what I mean is, are there no other disciples here When I came, Brother Feng said that there were outer sect disciples in charge of chores." Qin Luoyan was about to go help carry the porridge when Lao Yuege shook his head.

"Don't even mention it, those outer disciples are as dumb as pigs. They said I was eccentric and that we had different paths, so I decided to keep them away from my yard. Oh, by the way, I put the porridge on the table. Go wake up your two senior brothers quickly."

"I see. Qin Luoyan nodded and replied, "Okay.""

Xiao Fan and Wu Yi's room was in the corner of the courtyard. Qin Luo Yan came to the door first and knocked, but there was no answer at all.

"Oh, girl, what use is that kind of knocking" Grandfather Yue walked over with the porridge ready, pulled out a palm-sized gadget from his bosom and threw it over.

Qin Luoyan took it and looked. The little thing turned out to be something like a bamboo tube. She was puzzled, then she heard Yuege Lao Dao say: "Just throw this thing into the crack of the door, and he'll come out immediately."

"Such a wonder" Qin Luoyan chuckled, then without hesitation, threw the thing into Xiao Fan's room according to what Elder Yuege had said.

After a few seconds, a deafening boom echoed from the room. Immediately after, the door swung open and Xiao Fan and Wu Yi rushed out, still wrapped in blankets, shouting, "You old bastard! Didn't you say you wouldn't use smokeweed to torture us"

As he ran out, a pungent smell also wafted out of the room.

Qin Luo yan quickly covered her nose and kept retreating. It turned out that the little thing contained something similar to poison, but it wasn't real poison, just a gas with an intoxicating smell.

"You don't need to smoke the grass to wake you up, you two little brats. Can you get up Alright, stop talking and hurry up and eat. Don't forget that today is the day Old Yin comes to teach you about formations. Although that old man Yin is a bit hypocritical, he's pretty good at formations. You guys better go learn!"

Elder Yuege was setting the table and beckoning Qin Luoyan to come over and eat. Xiao Fan and Wu Yi simply shrugged their shoulders, huddled up in their blankets, and sat over.

"Master, look, your junior apprentice sister has only been here for a day, and you're already letting us ruin her image in front of her. How can we possibly maintain our senior brothers' dignity in the future" Xiao Fan spoke as he reached out from under the blanket with one hand to pull a bowl of porridge to his front.

Wu Yi was already a shy person, seeing Qin Luo Yan by his side and in such a disheveled state, his face flushed red again. He wanted to drink the porridge but was too embarrassed to reach out.

"Image If you want to look presentable, go back to your room and change!" Yuege glanced at the two of them, then sat down and started eating porridge.

Xiao Fan was unconvinced, "Old man, you're being unreasonable. The smell of dried grass won't dissipate in half an hour. Do you want us to suffocate inside I think you're deliberately doing this, just so your junior sister doesn't have a good impression of us."

“I did it on purpose, what’s wrong with that” Old Yuege mumbled and gulped down most of the bowl of porridge, his eyes wide as he roared: “Now, this young lady is my most precious female disciple. Protecting my disciples isn't something I just started doing today, of course, I have to protect her, and I can't let you men fool her!”

Xiao Fan and Wu Yi glanced at each other, their faces expressing the sentiment of "as expected."

Qin Luo'yan was giggling happily on the side. She truly enjoyed the way these three interacted with each other.

At the dinner table, Yuege Lao once again explained some of the rules of the sect to Qin Luoyan. It turned out that Tianjige's way of cultivating disciples was very scientific. Because each elder excelled in different areas, in order to allow disciples to improve better, each elder would take turns guiding newly promoted inner disciples. For example, today it was Elder Yin, the Third Elder who was skilled in formations, who was guiding the inner disciples.

So after the three of them had finished their meal, they came to the residence of the Third Elder.

The residence of the Third Elder was located under a waterfall that was ten zhang high. From afar, one could see the mist and smoke swirling, giving the impression of being in an otherworldly realm. The courtyard here was also quite large, with plum trees planted everywhere. The plums were already in full bloom, and every morning, petals would fall to the ground, creating a breathtaking carpet.

"Junior Sister, follow me and don't be distracted by these plum blossoms. If you get lost in the Plum Grove, it might not be so easy to find your way out." Xiao Fan walked ahead and turned back to remind her.

Qin Luoyan nodded, keeping pace. "Is this plum grove an array"

Of course, Elder Yin is best at formations. Ten years ago, he once used a stone formation to trap 50,000 enemy troops for three days and three nights until reinforcements arrived and completely defeated them. As Xiao Fan spoke, his figure gracefully shuttled between the plum trees. The only pity was that he was wearing Elder Yue's slightly too small clothes, which looked rather incongruous.

Because they couldn't go back to the room to change clothes, both he and Wu Yi had no choice but to wear Yuege Lao's clothes when they went out.

Wu Yi walked behind Qin LuoYan, tugging at her clothes awkwardly as she went, always trying to stretch them longer to cover the half of her arm that was exposed. “Although among the elders, Elder Yue is the most powerful, but in terms of formations, Elder Yin is truly skilled. However,師妹 (junior sister), you mustn't admire Elder Yin because of this. You must always remember that our Elder Yue is the most powerful.”

"Um..." It seems that being protective of one's own isn't exclusive to Elder Yue Ge, these four elders from the inner sect, each and every one of them are blindly loyal and protective. "Then have our master sparred with those three elders"

“Does this even need a comparison” Xiao Fan arrogantly shook his head. “In the face of absolute power, formations are nothing. It’s like this Plum Grove, although its formations are powerful, but with our continuously harvested chain whips, we can cut down all these Plum Groves in just moments. Without the Plum Grove, there is no formation.”

"Senior Brother is so right!" Qin Luoyan gave a thumbs-up. She was never stingy with praise for the children who competed for favor, "What kind of weapon is that continuous reaping whip It sounds really amazing."

“That was something we made with the master last year, a kind of iron whip that’s much more powerful than a regular one. The whip has rings of blades embedded all along it, and every time you throw it, it can slice through anything in its way. Of course, that ‘anything’ could also be a head.” Xiao Fan grinned proudly.

Embedding blades into whips, that's a good idea. Qin Luoyan's eyes lit up, and she admired these three fellow disciples even more. They seemed casual but actually had real skill.

When several people were talking, they had already passed Merlin. Behind Merlin was the pool where the waterfall cascaded down. Beside the pool were a dozen or so small square tables, most of which were already full of people.

Xiao Fan brought Wu Yi and Qin Luoyan to a small square table near the front. In the front was an offering table with a ruler and tea, which should have been the place for Elder Yin, the third elder. However, the offering table was empty at this moment, obviously the person had not yet arrived.

Qin Luo'yan politely served hot tea to the two senior brothers before starting to observe the people around her. Most of those sitting behind the small square tables were young people, with only a few older ones. They seemed to have spontaneously divided themselves into groups, keeping some distance from each other.

She was just about to look away when a commotion erupted in the crowd. Several excited young men began to growl, "The Miss is back!"

"Miss Tianqing is back Where" another person roared, and almost everyone turned towards Mei Lin's direction, as if trying to see through her to something.

Upon hearing the two words "Tian Qing", Qin Luoyan unconsciously frowned. On the other hand, Xiao Fan was quite excited. He patted Wu Yi beside him and said with a smile, “Did you hear that Tian Qing is back!”

Wu Yi's face flashed an unnatural red, "It's good to be back."

Four words, it seemed to reveal too much information. Qin Luoyan stared at Xiao Fan in surprise, and asked, "Senior brother, does your second senior brother like Yun Tianqing"

Uh… isn’t this plot a bit too over-the-top She twitched the corner of her mouth. If Wu Yi knew about her past with Yun Tianqing…

"Little junior sister, don't listen to his nonsense, it's not true." Wu Yi said, nervously raising a cup of hot tea to drink, but her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Mei Lin.

Qin Luoyan smiled, and didn't continue to ask that question. She already understood, didn't she

Deep in the plum grove, two figures gradually emerged. The woman in red walking in front was Yun Tianqing. She quickly walked through the plum grove, not glancing at anyone else, and went straight towards Qin Luo'yan.

Behind her was a Yun Tianzi who, though ordinary in appearance, possessed an extraordinary air. However, today he was no longer dressed as a simple attendant but exuded the demeanor of a noble young master with every gesture. His bearing clearly showed the aura of someone in a position of power. He immediately cast his gaze toward Qin Luoyan.

"Young Master! Miss Tianqing!" Wherever they went, all the inner disciples greeted them politely, but they only nodded slightly.

Xiao Fan saw the two people walking over and elbowed Wu Yi, "Junior Brother, look, Miss Tianqing came to see you right after she returned. It seems your position in her heart is not low. Looks like the blueprint of the repeating crossbow you sent her last time wasn't given for nothing."

"Gatling Crossbow!" Qin Luoyan was shocked and looked at Wu Yi in disbelief, "You drew the blueprints for that Gatling Crossbow"

"Have you ever heard of the repeating crossbow, Junior Sister" Xiao Fan asked with a smile.

"I've heard." Qin Luoyan's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. She didn't just know, she had personally improved it herself. However, she really hadn't expected Wu Yi, who looked shy and not like a man at all, to be the designer of the repeating crossbow. The people in Yuege Lao Men were truly geniuses!

Xiao Fan sighed again and said, "Alas, you wouldn't know. This younger brother of mine is a simpleton. When others send birthday gifts like jade or gold hairpins, he actually sent a blueprint! Although he spent half a year painstakingly creating it, how could that possibly win over a woman's heart Besides, Miss Jiao doesn't understand anything about weapon manufacturing..."

"Senior brother!" Wu Yi was a little embarrassed, interrupting Xiao Fan's words. "Miss Tianqing said she really liked it! She is someone who knows how to appreciate things."

Xiao Fan sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said no more.

Within a few breaths, Yun Tianqing and Yun Tianzi arrived before the small table. Standing tall, Yun Tianqing let out a cold snort and addressed Qin Luoyan: "Oh, aren't you someone who thinks highly of themselves You were going to become my disciple at Tiangji Pavilion, weren't you This...uh, junior sister When you see your senior sister, how come you don't even stand up to greet her"

Xiao Fan and Wu Yi were stunned, staring blankly at Yun Tianqing's unfriendly tone. Only then did they realize that Yun Tianqing had come to find Qin Luo Yan.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Wu Yi's eyes, then she shyly lowered her head. Xiao Fan sighed again.

"Tianyqing, speak properly." Yuntianzi came over and pulled Tianqing behind him. Then, he bowed to Qin Luoyan and said, "Miss Qin, my younger sister has been spoiled, please don't mind her."

"Brother, why are you helping her Don't tell me you're really going to make her your mistress like those rumors say" Yun Tianqing angrily pulled his hand away from Yun Tianzi.

Yun Tianzi was a little embarrassed by her words, "I help justice and not family. Miss Qin is willing to join our Tianji Pavilion because she sees the value in it. If you speak so disrespectfully, you'll be sent to the study room!"

"Brother!" Yun Tianqing was furious, and gave Qin Luoyan a cold snort, "You wait, there will be consequences for you later." After saying that, she turned and walked away, finding a small table in the distance to sit down.

Qin Luoyan held a cup of hot tea from beginning to end, watching Yun Tianqing's complete performance. Yun Tianqing's targeting, Yun Tianzi's rescue, and she, the person involved, didn't even have the chance to speak on stage

After Yun Tianqing left, Yun Tianzi did not follow suit. Instead, he sat down on the vacant mat beside the small table. He first politely greeted Xiao Fan and Wu Yi, then turned to Qin Luoyan and said, "Have you been getting used to it these past two days, Miss Qin I heard there were some unexpected incidents during the disciple selection. Are you alright, Miss Qin"

"Thank you for remembering me, Lord Qin," Qin Luoyan said, holding her teacup and speaking sparingly.

Yun Tianzi smiled, "That's good. If there's anything else you're not used to, just come find me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Just a little more, Master." Qin Luoyan smiled and replied, not politely refusing.

"Don't always call me 'Master Yun' or 'Master Yun'. Since we are all disciples of Tiānjī Gē, Qin girl, just call me Senior Brother." Yúntiānzī smiled gently.

Qin Luo'yan was just about to speak, but Xiao Fan beside her snatched the conversation impatiently, "No, Tiangji Pavilion has its own rules. The Young Master is the Young Master. How can you call him randomly Little junior sister, you mustn't call him randomly, or else people will say that we from the four gates are uneducated when we go out."

"Uh..." It seemed Xiao Fan wasn't very fond of Yun Tianzi. She nodded and replied, "Yeah, my senior brother is right."
