This old thing, could it be thinking about some dirty business again?

Yun Zheng shook his head helplessly and flew back to his own cave, stabilizing his golden pill.

Three days later. Early morning.

Yun Zheng first went to the side hall of the Xianyun Grand Palace to request the World-gazing Mirror, and then hurried to the assembly point—the Mountain-protecting Grand Array.

Before the Mountain-guarding Grand Array.

In the midst of the spring season, when the grasses were lush and the warblers were flying, Yun Zheng arrived just in time to see a group of disciples who had just descended from the mountain gathered in front of the mountain protection formation. They were excitedly chattering like a flock of magpies, discussing something. As soon as they noticed Yun Zheng's presence, they immediately stood up straight and remained silent, their eyes filled with respect and admiration, without concealing their reverence. Among them, Yun Ni's gaze was particularly fervent.

Yun Zheng's scalp tingled. He landed with his flying sword, and as soon as he did, a group of people immediately greeted him with a loud salute, "Greetings Senior Brother Yun!"

Yun Zheng nodded expressionlessly, emitting a cold aura that kept others at a distance. "Mm."

At this moment, a young man in a green scholar's robe stepped forward and smiled at Yun Zheng. He said, "Senior Brother Yun, I am Yue Chutang, a member of the Qingwu Moon family. The Sect Master has instructed me to assist you during our journey to Da Qin."

Yue Chutang?

Yun Zheng was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered his composure. Yue Chutang is the second son of the current head of the Yue family, an exceptional genius with dual spiritual roots of water and wood. He is also the cousin of the male lead, Yue Chufei, and is considered his number one younger brother. Whenever Yue Chufei was in the Yue family, he was often bullied by his younger brother, Yue Cutong. However, Yue Chutang had repeatedly lent a helping hand to Yue Chufei, even when Yue Chufei later gained fame throughout the world. Yue Chutang silently supported and assisted him, wholeheartedly.

However!

That's right, there's always a "but" in everything. Yue Chutang has always had a secret crush on Yun Ni! Yun Ni was the first girl that Yue Chufei accepted as his little sister, and afterwards, with every instance of passing a copy, Yue Chutang would be able to accept two or three more girls.

At the beginning, Yue Chutang deeply loved Yunni. However, it turned out that Yunni loved someone else in the harem. Yue Chutang has always been resentful on behalf of Yunni, so he is only pretending to be wholeheartedly devoted on the surface.

Of course, this is only one of the two main factors that led to Yue Chutang's defection. The other factor is that Yue Chu Fei was subjected to constant bullying by the Yue family in the past and has always wanted to seek revenge against them. Despite their close relationship, Yue Chu Fei is only his cousin, how could he be more important than his own parents and siblings?

So, at the beginning of the month, Yu Chu Fei engaged in a fierce battle with the demon race. After suffering serious injuries, he was then ambushed by Yu Chu Tang... After that, Yu Chu Fei naturally fled. At that time, Yun Zheng was brimming with confidence, believing that the male lead would surely level up again and crush Yu Chu Tang. However, the male lead was betrayed by several of his own sisters! Damn it! This blatant NTR is absolutely unbearable! But it's alright, Yun Zheng still believes that the male lead can make a comeback, but...

But, the damn author... he... he betrayed us!

Yun Zheng wiped away a bitter tear for Yue Chutang, then silently made up his mind to stay away from her in the future.

Yun Zheng looked at Yu Chu Tang coldly and nodded slightly in agreement. Then he swept a glance at everyone and said, "I will be in charge of selecting disciples this time. I hope everyone will strictly abide by the rules of the sect, otherwise..."

Everyone shivered, immediately speaking in an orderly manner, "We will definitely abide by the rules of the sect."

"Mm." Yun Zheng nodded in satisfaction. He thought to himself that he had already shown off enough, and then looked at Yue Chutang, saying, "Please lead the way, Junior Brother Yue." This time, there were three designated stops for selecting disciples. The first stop was Qingwu City, which happened to be the Moon family's stronghold. And the final stop was the capital city of Daqin, Chang'an.

Therefore, it was most appropriate for Yue Chutang to lead the way to Qingwu City at the beginning of the month.

"Yes!" Yue Chutang replied decisively, then summoned his flying sword as he prepared to jump aboard—

"Wait!" A clear and crisp female voice suddenly resounded. Mochu Tang's movement halted, and everyone simultaneously turned to look at the sudden voice, Yun Ni.
