I have a little bit of talent

As he often went down the mountain to the Daozang Pavilion, Fang Mu finally met many disciples of Baiyun Temple in this month, and Yi Ran was one of them.

Unlike Fang Mu, who had only recently joined the Qingxu Peak Baiyun Temple and had become a disciple of Taoist Chen Wei, Yi Ran was an abandoned baby brought back by Taoist Chen Wei by chance when he was traveling around the world fifty years ago. He had lived in the world of Qingxu Peak since he was a child. Due to his extraordinary talent and extraordinary physique, he was accepted as a direct disciple by Taoist Chen Wei at an early age, and was the first true disciple of Baiyun Temple.

Because he has been practicing hard in Qingxu Peak and has little contact with the outside world, although Yi Ran is old enough to be Fang Mu's father, his mind is still quite simple and he is somewhat ignorant of worldly affairs.

Precisely because he has a pure heart, his cultivation has skyrocketed all the way, and now he has embarked on the path of transforming two into one, reaching the perfect state of a grandmaster, and is only half a step away from the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

He inherited his love of wine from Taoist Chen Wei, so with Fang Mu's two bottles of good wine as a bribe, the relationship between the two brothers grew stronger day by day.

"Junior Brother Yi Ming, we have finished our wine, let's go down the mountain quickly."

Yi Ran drank the Qingmu fruit wine in just a few gulps. Seeing Fang Mu still sitting leisurely, he grabbed his arm and flew up, heading down the mountain.

"Brother, slow down. I can walk by myself!" Fang Mu was pulled up into the air and involuntarily followed the flying beast to leave the cave platform. He headed straight down the mountain amid the whistling wind, feeling extremely helpless.

This senior brother was of a mild disposition and had always had a very good temper, but as soon as it came to Taoist Chen Wei, he would immediately become angry, fearing that his master would suffer some loss. Only a little wine could calm him down for a while.

Yi Ran had finished his drink by this time, so he didn't want to pay any attention to Fang Mu's complaints. He just wanted to not keep his master waiting for long, so he grabbed Fang Mu's arm and ran away. The two of them turned into a beam of green light and flew across the mountain steps at a high speed. In just a dozen breaths, they arrived at the mountainside where Baiyun Temple was located.

It was not until they reached the gate of Baiyun Palace that Yi Ran withdrew his arm and smiled awkwardly at Fang Mu:

"I was afraid that my junior brother would dawdle, so I walked a little faster. Master has been waiting for a while, let's go in."

Even though Fang Mu was in unparalleled physique at this moment, he felt a little dizzy after being dragged for thousands of feet without any preparation, and glared at Yi Ran in annoyance.

Knowing this brother's personality, and since he was the one who wasted time first, he naturally couldn't say anything. He just reminded him:

"Brother, you should remind me before you pull me next time. If you do this a few more times, I will never give you good wine to drink again."

"Of course, of course." Yi Ran smiled innocently and promised.

Fang Mu pursed his lips upon seeing this, and was too lazy to pay any more attention to him, so he stepped directly into the Baiyun Palace.

In the Baiyun Hall, Taoist Chen Wei stood with his hands behind his back, standing under the statue and looking at the door. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

In addition to Taoist Chen Wei, there were five Taoists standing on both sides of the Baiyun Hall, who were obviously disciples of Baiyun Temple.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Yi Ran, Senior Brother Yi Ming."

Seeing Yi Ran and Fang Mu coming, the five disciples all bowed and greeted them with a smile.

"Hello, fellow apprentices."

It is a custom not to hit a smiling person. Even though Fang Mu was somewhat unhappy with Yi Ran's behavior, he still responded with a smile when facing the smiling faces of the inner disciples of Baiyun Temple.

Although he is the youngest in the field, he worships Taoist Chen Wei as his master and is the fourth true disciple of Baiyun Temple. Except for the other three true disciples, all other inner and outer disciples have to call him senior brother.

Whether at home or traveling, this was the first time that Fang Mu was addressed as brother by someone other than Ye Qingci.

You know what, it feels really good to be called senior brother. The eldest brother always has more status than the younger brothers.

Coincidentally, these five disciples all came from the villages and towns near Shengxian Lake. Fang Mu became famous after the battle at Yunding Mountain and was well-known in the cultivation world.

It just so happened that they had not been practicing hard in the cave in the world of Qingxu Peak during this period of time, but were returning home together. Naturally, they had never heard of each other and had already developed admiration for each other.

Later, after returning to Baiyun Temple, they learned that Fang Mu had become the abbot's disciple and the fourth true disciple of Baiyun Temple. They were overjoyed and came to talk to Fang Mu many times during this period.

It was also through talking with these five disciples that Fang Mu learned that the master of the Heart Demon Sect whom he had met before in Dushan City had actually appeared in the village next to Shengxian Lake. Fortunately, the third true disciple Luo Qingyi was there at the time, and he severely injured the person of the Heart Demon Sect with his magic weapon Tianli, and finally rushed thousands of miles and killed him with the sword outside Dushan City.

When Fang Mu heard the name Luo Qingyi, he immediately thought of the scene when he met her in Dushan City. He couldn't recover for a long time. He had a vague feeling of familiarity in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it, and his heart was empty.

Then I thought that since we were both true disciples of Baiyun Temple, there would naturally be plenty of opportunities to meet each other in the future, so I could only keep these feelings deep in my heart.

Who would have thought that almost a month had passed and Luo Qingyi was still in seclusion, so Fang Mu had never had the chance to meet and talk with her.

Taoist Chen Wei looked at Fang Mu, and a smile flashed across his originally serious face.

He was extremely satisfied with this new disciple. Not only was he extremely talented, but the key was that he was able to listen to him. In the past month, he had read Taoist classics in the Taoist Canon Pavilion many times. Whenever he had questions, he would ask him or Taoist Chenxuan, and he would understand them immediately. He knew how to lay a solid foundation and polish his roots. He was indeed a rare and good seedling.

Although he was satisfied in his heart, he still had to criticize Fang Mu a few words.

"Look at you. I clearly told you that I had something to do today, yet you came so late and made me and my fellow disciples wait. This is really outrageous."

"I practiced for too long last night and wasted some time. Please forgive me, Master."

While Fang Mu was accusing others of his crimes, he winked wildly at Yi Ran beside him, and never mentioned that he was leisurely drinking and watching the clouds before he came.

They had already arrived at Baiyun Palace, and Yi Ran had returned to his good-natured self, and he understood Fang Mu's hint.

"Yes, Master. He was still practicing when I went to call my junior brother."

It was obvious that Yi Ran was not likely to lie in front of Taoist Chen Wei. When he said this, his eyes were lowered, his face flushed, and he did not dare to look up.

There was no way the two of them could be hidden from Taoist Chen Wei. Yi Ran was raised by him personally, so he naturally knew it very well. As soon as he saw the man's expression, he knew he was lying.

But he didn't care about it. Instead, he felt a little happy and did not expose Yi Ran's lie.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if it's a little late. Just be more careful in the future. We don't have that many rules in Baiyun Temple."

Taoist Chen Wei had always been a little worried about his eldest disciple, who, although he had a very high level of cultivation, was kind-hearted and ignorant of worldly affairs. He had originally thought of letting him go to the outside world in the next few years to travel around the world and gain experience, but he did not expect that he would dare to lie to him after less than a month of contact with Fang Mu.

If any other disciple dared to lie to him, Taoist Chen Wei would be really angry. But it was different for Yi Ran. Isn't the fact that he dared to lie to him the beginning of his change?

Thinking of this, Chen Wei's smile became even wider. He looked at Yi Ran and Fang Mu from time to time, and made up his mind to let these two brothers interact more.

"Master, why did you call me here today?"

Fang Mu felt creepy when being stared at. He didn't know what his master was thinking. He was also curious about the purpose of calling him to Baiyun Palace today.
