"Junior Sister Pei?! You're back!" Luo Qi walked forward to greet Pei Yun with a look of surprise on his face.

"Senior Brother Luo Qi." Pei Yun greeted Luo Qi with a smile and was welcomed into the hall. A young woman followed behind him. The two looked at each other inadvertently, and Pei Yun nodded slightly at her.

"Who is this..." Pei Yun asked curiously.

"Oh! This is Junior Sister Wang Xueer, she is also a disciple of Pingzhu Peak like you..." Luo Qi came back to his senses and introduced the two to each other, "Junior Sister Wang, this is Pei Yun I mentioned to you."

"Sister Pei." Wang Xueer bowed to Pei Yun. "I had just arrived at Pingzhu Peak during the foundation building competition. All of my disciples at Pingzhu Peak admired and respected Sister Pei's demeanor..."

"Junior Sister Wang, you're too kind." Pei Yun waved his hand modestly.

After chatting for a few words, Wang Xueer saw that the two men looked like they had something to talk about but because of her presence, she stood up tactfully and said goodbye to them.

After she left, Luo Qi immediately became casual, no longer acting like a serious senior brother. He covered his chest and said in shock: "Junior Sister Pei, it's only been more than three years, and I can't see through your cultivation..."

"It was also by chance that I got a spiritual fruit in the secret realm. I just broke through to the middle stage of the golden elixir more than a month ago..."

"Your cultivation has improved too fast. I originally thought that my breakthrough to the Golden Core stage was fast enough, but I never expected that there is always someone better..."

Luo Qi shook his head and sighed, then suddenly remembered something. He quickly came up to her and whispered, "Don't hang around in front of my master, or else he will see that your cultivation is higher than mine, and he will scold me for being lazy in cultivation..."

It's too late!

Pei Yun looked at the person in front of him with sympathy, and was hesitating whether to tell him that she came back with Luo Rufeng.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Have you seen..."

Under his gaze that seemed to be shocked, Pei Yun nodded silently.

"Brother Luo Qi, have you traveled abroad in the past few years?"

"No, I went back home last year when I was promoted to the Golden Core stage..." Luo Qi shook his head and stroked his chin, "It seems that I have to travel and look for opportunities like you. It's meaningless to just stay in the sect..."

The two of them started chatting, and Pei Yun briefly recounted her experiences in Nanyue Continent over the past three years. When Luo Qi heard that she had obtained a demon-slaying sword that was comparable to an immortal sword, his eyes lit up, and he wished he could immediately take her to find his master to see the sword.

"...Senior Brother Luo Qi, how do you know Junior Sister Wang? I've never heard you mention her before..." Pei Yun changed the subject and began to inquire calmly.

"...Oh, it was when I was going home last year. I met a group of fellow disciples fighting against monsters on the road, so I helped them. After that, I became familiar with Junior Sister Wang..."

Seeing that he looked very open and confident, Pei Yun smiled and said, "Junior Sister Wang likes you very much, and she even made so many snacks for you..." As she spoke, she pointed to the table full of snacks.

"There's nothing I can do. This might be my personal charm..." Luo Qi looked reserved, yet secretly showed off.

“By the way, did you see Su Yue when you went home this time?”

"Of course I did. When she saw that I had already broken through to the Golden Core stage, she was so angry that she even said that she would definitely catch up with me someday. Hahahaha..."

Pei Yun glanced at Luo Qi and smiled and shook his head. He chatted with him for a few more words before getting up and leaving Lingjian Peak...

Luo Rufeng frowned as he watched her going down the mountain, and walked towards Luo Qi's palace with his hands behind his back.

Luo Qi was leisurely leaning on a recliner by the windowsill, eating snacks with half-closed eyes. When he saw Luo Rufeng come in, he immediately stood up and patted the crumbs on his hands. Seeing Luo Rufeng staring at him expressionlessly, he couldn't help but shudder and smiled flatteringly: "...Master, what do you want?"

"...I've been either in seclusion or out these days. Are you hiding here and lazing around again?"

"Master, Third Uncle, you really wronged me. I have been practicing hard, and Junior Sister Pei just happened to come to see me, so we chatted for a while, and then I relaxed a little..."

As soon as he said this, he felt that his master's face seemed to become even uglier, and he quickly shut his mouth.

"... Pei Yun's cultivation was originally lower than yours, but he has surpassed you after returning this time. Why don't you hurry up and cultivate? You still have the leisure to lie down and eat snacks..."

"Master, I was wrong. I will go to practice immediately..." Luo Qi hung his head and responded obediently.

After Luo Rufeng left, Luo Qi scratched the back of his head in confusion and said to himself: "Why is Master so angry today? Who made him angry..."

After Pei Yun returned to Pingzhu Peak, she hid in the space and began to practice. As for Xiaobai and the little bird demon Xiaohui, she let them out to play. She only warned them not to go to the forbidden area, otherwise if they offended someone they shouldn't, she wouldn't be able to save them.

Her soul had also been somewhat wasted in the Samsara Mirror before, but luckily she had obtained a bunch of soul beads in the secret realm, and after three days of cultivation, she had used up all of them. Not only did she make up for the soul power wasted in the Samsara Mirror, but her soul also seemed to be stronger, and the golden sea of ​​consciousness was shining...

Pei Yun originally wanted to continue practicing the Five Elements Swordsmanship taught by Senior Zhenhua, but she suddenly remembered the slave trade of the Gale Alliance under the Bi Hai Pavilion. She planned to talk to Luo Rufeng to see if she could communicate with the Bi Hai Pavilion and sort it out, so as to prevent children like Murong Lei from encountering such a disaster again.

When he came to Lingjian Peak again, Pei Yun unexpectedly met Wang Xueer again. She was carrying a lunch box and was about to go down the mountain.

Wang Xueer's eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled and came to Pei Yun: "Senior Sister Pei, you are here to look for Senior Brother Luo, right? Senior Brother Luo is in seclusion practicing, and even I couldn't see him..."

Hearing this, Pei Yun slightly raised her eyebrows, and her surprised look slowly turned into a little understanding. She vaguely felt that the woman in front of her had a hint of "hostility" towards her. She slightly suppressed her smile: "I'm not here to find Senior Brother Luo Qi, I'm here to find Venerable Rufeng..."

"Venerable Rufeng!" Wang Xueer shouted in surprise, and looked at her with inquiring eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Luo Rufeng walking towards her.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Luo Rufeng didn't even look at Wang Xueer, and walked straight to Pei Yun.

"Your Excellency, I have something to report to you..."

"Come to my place to talk..." The two of them left side by side. Wang Xueer looked at their backs, squinting her eyes and fell into deep thought.

"What's the matter?" Luo Rufeng poured her a cup of spiritual tea and asked calmly.

"Your Excellency, this is what happened..." Pei Yun told him about the slave trade he had encountered.

"...Do you suspect that it was done by a small sect under the jurisdiction of the Bi Hai Pavilion?" Luo Rufeng's expression also became serious, no longer as gentle as before.

"Yes, I think it is very likely that the Gale Alliance is doing these things under the banner of the Azure Ocean Pavilion..."

Luo Rufeng nodded in agreement with her opinion. He also didn't think that Bi Hai Pavilion, as one of the top ten sects in Beiqizhou, would do something that would be shameful for Taoism.

"I will report this to the Sect Master immediately. You come with me and ask him to send someone to inform the people at the Bi Hai Pavilion..."

"Your Excellency, will Yunshan Sect and Bihai Pavilion be unhappy with each other?"

"Don't worry, the Sect Master knows the limits. Besides, even if the senior members of the Bi Hai Pavilion were not aware of this matter beforehand, they are still so indulgent towards their subordinates. After my Yun Shan Sect reminded them this time, they should be awakened..."

The two of them stood up, and Pei Yun followed Luo Rufeng to the main peak to meet the sect leader. When they met Luo Qi's palace on the way, she looked at it for a few more times, and then she heard Luo Rufeng's dull tone: "...Do you want to see Luo Qi?" There was a hint of sourness in his words unconsciously.

Pei Yun shook his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "... Your Excellency, if one of your friends likes another friend of yours, but this friend hasn't expressed his feelings yet, and the other friend has already been pursued by another girl, then should I tell my friend who hasn't had time to express his feelings yet..."

Pei Yun's words were very confusing and had no beginning or end, but after Luo Rufeng listened patiently, he thought of the female disciple who had been coming to him diligently these days. After a few twists and turns in his mind, he immediately understood what she meant and said, "Are you talking about Luo Qi? Who likes him... Is your friend Su Yue?"

Pei Yun didn't expect that he guessed so accurately. He lowered his head with a tangled look on his face: "... Your Excellency, if I write a letter to Senior Sister Su Yue and tell her about Senior Brother Luo Qi and this Junior Sister Wang, wouldn't that be bad? It would be too mean..."

Luo Rufeng listened to her mumbling, and suddenly his heart brightened up. The depression in his chest instantly dissipated. He chuckled and said:

"This is their private matter, and you really shouldn't get involved. But you just came back from traveling in South Vietnam, so it's understandable that you sent a letter to your good friend. You can take the opportunity to mention Luo Qi's recent situation. As for what she thinks and does, that's up to her. You've already fulfilled your obligations as a friend..."

"Your Excellency is right." Pei Yun raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes. The two smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

After Luo Rufeng came back from the main peak, he happened to meet Luo Qi who had just come out of seclusion.

"Master, I just finished my training and came out to practice swordsmanship in the courtyard..." Luo Qi explained hurriedly.

Luo Rufeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him in a good mood: "Not bad! Keep practicing, don't slack off..."

Seeing his brisk steps leaving, Luo Qi wondered why his uncle had been so moody recently. Alas! He was really suffering...
