Yun Zheng slowly followed the secluded path that had been trampled by people, and unconsciously arrived at the end of the peach forest.

At the end was a towering wall, seemingly rarely visited by people. The white paint on the wall had long peeled off, revealing the marks of time and weathering. In a corner of the wall, there was even a hole big enough for a child of about 10 years old to pass through, whether it was naturally formed or secretly dug out by someone, was unknown.

Yun Zheng was deep in thought when suddenly he saw a little head poking out from the hole.

Yun Zheng was taken aback.

The little boy who was desperately drilling a hole also paused in surprise.

His face was ashen and gaunt, with dirty and messy hair. The only bright spot were his big eyes, as black as night and shining like stars.

Time seemed to stand still.

One looked up in astonishment, while the other looked down with indifference. One was thin as a stick, while the other was breathtakingly beautiful. One had a dilapidated wall behind them, while the other had vibrant peach blossoms behind them.

The boy's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, and he blurted out, "Tao Xian!"

Yun Zheng's corner of the mouth twitched, lips pursed in silence. However, the boy immediately pulled his head back, as if trying to escape. Just as his entire head was about to come out, Yun Zheng extended his finger and with a single tap, the boy immediately felt unable to control his own body. Then, in the blink of an eye, he entered the wall.

The boy widened his eyes, his face full of excitement: "Immortal technique!"

Yun Zheng found it amusing in his heart, with a hint of amusement gleaming in his eyes.

After the boy stood still, he immediately rushed to kneel in front of Yun Zheng and said, "Sir Tao Xian, I didn't deliberately intrude into the Peach Forest. I just wanted to come here to find disciples of the Cloud Sect and ask them to take me on the path of cultivation."

Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow and suddenly understood something in his heart.

The young boy had long known that disciples of the Cloud Up Sect would come to the Peach Forest. He timed his entrance into this cave in order to secretly sneak in, hoping that they would give him an opportunity to join the Cloud Up Sect. So... it seems that the boy standing before him has probably figured out that he is from the Cloud Up Sect.

Hmph, pretending not to know, and even deliberately praising oneself as a Peach Immortal, thinking that it would bring enjoyment? Well, he did indeed enjoy it.

Yun Zheng took out a square silk handkerchief with his left hand, and with his right hand, he created a sparkling and translucent snowflake on his fingertip. Then, with a slight manipulation of his spiritual energy, the snowflake instantly melted into water and seeped into the silk handkerchief.

"Wow!" The boy watched the whole process and immediately let out an exclamation, his mouth hanging wide open.

Yun Zheng found it amusing, but his expression remained cold as he threw the silk handkerchief to the boy and said, "Wipe your face."

"Yes!" The boy immediately respectfully took the brocade handkerchief and wiped his dusty face clean, revealing a sharp and clean fair complexion.

Yun Zheng nodded secretly. This face, when grown up, will surely drive countless female cultivators crazy. However, he was too thin and short, and judging from his malnutrition and tattered clothing, he must be an unfavored little servant in the Yue family. Yun Zheng only took a glance and speculated that his bone age was 13 years old, but he looked more like he was only 10 years old. Moreover, there were several unhealed scars exposed on his body, suggesting that he had likely been bullied quite a bit.

However, even so, the light in the young man's eyes still shines brightly, clear and pure, indicating that he is a person of kindness and integrity.

Yun Zheng asked calmly, "Name?"

Upon hearing this, the boy's eyes lit up and he immediately replied, "I'm called Yue Chu Fei!"

Bang!

Yun Zheng's eyes blurred for a moment, as if there was a sudden sensation of a comet colliding with the continent.

Moon! First! Fei!

Help, wait a minute, wasn't he supposed to go to Yunni's place? Why did he suddenly appear in front of me? Right, that big peach tree absorbed the essence of the other peach trees in the Peach Forest, so it would naturally be occupied by the most outstanding disciple of the Cloud Sect. The protagonist, Yue Chufei, must know this from the novel, so that's why he went there. But who knew that Yun Zheng would suddenly appear at the entrance where Yue Chufei sneaked in?! Now that a disciple of the Cloud Sect has appeared, Yue Chufei naturally wouldn't go under that big peach tree and wouldn't encounter Yunni either!

Yun Zheng suddenly felt a momentary darkness before his eyes.
