Pei Yun returned to his residence in Pingzhu Peak. After settling down and resting for a few days, he went to Danxiang Pavilion to pay a visit to Zhang Su. After all, she was a guest elder of Danxiang Pavilion.

To her shame, she had hardly spent any time on alchemy in the past two years. When she was in the Alchemy Temple, Wei Cheng had specifically mentioned to her that he wanted her to represent the temple disciples in the Tiandan City's alchemy competition.

But this time when she came back, she planned to wait for the results of Yuejian Sect's investigation to come out, and then she would go directly into the Desolate Sky Valley for retreat and strive for the Nascent Soul stage, so it was impossible for her to waste time on alchemy in the future.

Zhang Su was very happy to see her back. She had no grudge against Pei Yun's next arrangements. She just let her concentrate on her cultivation and didn't have to complete the task of Danxiang Pavilion.

To be honest, except for Zhang Su who is in the early Nascent Soul stage, the cultivation base of the others in Danxiang Pavilion is not high, and most of them rely on elixirs to improve. The higher Pei Yun's cultivation base is, the further she can go in the path of alchemy in the future. Otherwise, she will die, so how can she make elixirs!

After leaving Danxiang Pavilion, Pei Yun went to Zhengfa Hall again. He wanted to meet with Senior Sister Lu Yu to reminisce about the past, but Lu Yu was in seclusion to achieve the Golden Elixir, so they did not meet.

Pei Yun thought about it and did not return to Pingzhu Peak, but instead went to Lingjian Peak.

"The Master's Wife is here!"

As soon as Pei Yun reached Lingjian Peak, he was almost frightened away by Luo Qi's words.

"Master's wife, come and sit down!" Luo Qi greeted Pei Yun with a smile on his face and sat on the stone chair in the courtyard.

Pei Yun was slightly embarrassed, but she knew Luo Qi's playful nature, so she jokingly teased back, "Brother Luo, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. How's your cultivation going?"

Luo Qi's excited face instantly lost its spirit. With his head drooped, he poured tea for her and said, "Stop talking. Master tested me as soon as he came back and said that I didn't practice hard enough. I practiced very hard. After all, not everyone is as monstrous as Master and Junior Sister Pei..."

The two were reminiscing about the past when Luo Rufeng came out of her own palace. Seeing Pei Yun, her eyes lit up slightly. She sat down next to her, and asked with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see the fellow Taoists on Blue Star. Where do they live and how are their cultivation going?"

This group of cultivators and monsters on Blue Star have all reached the perfection of foundation building. If it were not for the restrictions of Blue Star's laws of nature, most of them would have been able to break through to the golden elixir stage long ago.

These people decided to wait until they broke through to the Golden Core stage before going to the Management Hall to handle the formalities, because the sect gave different treatments to those who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and the Golden Core stage.

"I have asked them to build a house on the mountainside. I have also mentioned this to the Stewards. When the time comes, they can directly be selected into my Lingjian Peak..."

Luo Rufeng said, and without hesitation took Pei Yun's hand and led her into his own palace to walk around, "Come on, I'll take you to see my palace..."

Luo Qi was particularly perceptive. He did not follow the two of them. He crossed his arms and looked at his uncle's back with a look of satisfaction. He said with emotion: "Uncle finally got it! I will tell my family about this good news. My grandmother will be very happy when she knows it!"

Wang Xueer, who had been observing secretly in the room, came out and came to Luo Qi's side. She stared at the backs of Pei Yun and the others with an ambiguous look, but asked with a slightly curious tone: "Husband, are the Venerable and... Senior Sister Pei really together?"

"Of course. My master is a reserved person who doesn't like to express himself. Once he has chosen someone, it will be a lifelong thing. Besides, Junior Sister Pei is so outstanding, and the two of them are a perfect match. I have to tell my parents, as well as my grandparents, about this as soon as possible. My grandmother has been worrying about my third uncle's marriage for many years..."

Luo Qi said this with a smile, clapped his hands excitedly, and hurried back to his room to prepare to write a letter home.

Wang Xueer was left alone in the courtyard, muttering to herself, "It's such a pity that such a bright and elegant person like Venerable Rufeng has passed away..."

More than a month later, Pei Yun led Qu Yi, who had broken through first, and a group of other Blue Star cultivators to the Stewardship Hall...

The steward's hall was still bustling with activity. During this period, the Yunshan sect's reputation had soared due to the arrival of the temple's envoy. The sect had taken advantage of this opportunity to recruit many more disciples. Batches of new disciples were arranged in the steward's hall every day. Pei Yun and his companions waited in line for a long time before it was their turn.

"Senior Sister Pei, don't worry. Elder Luo has already mentioned it to us. I will handle the formalities for several of my fellow brothers and sisters right away..." the outer sect elder said attentively, with a deliberate flattering tone in his voice.

Qu Yi and his companions happily accepted the sect's tokens, disciple uniforms and other items. At this moment, they truly felt a sense of belonging as disciples of the Yunshan Sect.

Pei Yun took them on a tour of Yunshan Sect, picked out exercises in the library, selected magic weapons in the treasure pavilion, and finally came to the mission hall...

"The sect also has task requirements for Jindan disciples. The difficulty of the task and the reward points are also displayed. In the sect, points are the most important..." Pei Yun pointed to the task light screen displayed above and explained to them.

Except for Qu Yi who had the resources given by Qin Meng, everyone else was in urgent need of making money. Most of the treasures they obtained on Blue Star were not worth much in Haoyu Continent.

As the group was talking, two disciples from Qingqi Peak suddenly came in. They looked quite familiar.

Pei Yun glanced at it subconsciously, but didn't pay much attention to it, and continued explaining to Lan Xing and the others.

Because some of the missions issued by the sect are really dangerous, and some missions are not only issued in the Yunshan Sect, which may require dealing with other sects, so Pei Yun took the opportunity to briefly explain to them the major forces in Beiqizhou and the relationship between them, so as to prevent them from falling into traps when they first arrived.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Pei Yun, the two disciples from Qingqi Peak sneered and walked straight towards Pei Yun. These two were Li Lanlan and Zhang Lu who had targeted her in the Foundation Establishment Competition.

"Oh! Senior Sister Li, the person who spread the rumors actually showed up here..." Zhang Lu stood behind Li Lanlan, glanced at Pei Yun and said sarcastically.

"If you ask me, Elder Luo is really unlucky. He just returned to the sect and someone has stuck with him. He can't get rid of him..." Li Lanlan stared at Pei Yun and said sarcastically with a smile.

Ever since the rumors of Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun's ambiguous relationship began to spread in the sect intentionally or unintentionally a few days ago, Li Lanlan couldn't sit still.

She had been infatuated with Luo Rufeng for so many years, and she no longer expected Luo Rufeng to respond to her emotionally, but she always believed that even if Luo Rufeng didn't like her, he would not like any other woman.

In her heart, Luo Rufeng is like the bright moon in the sky. Any woman can only look up to him but cannot get him.

As you can imagine, upon hearing such rumors, Li Lanlan's first reaction was to find it ridiculous and think someone was spreading rumors. But when she learned that the person who was rumored to be Luo Rufeng was Pei Yun, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

For this purpose, she even went to find Wang Xueer and asked a few questions tentatively. Wang Xueer only responded with some ambiguous words, which made her feel even more anxious and she wanted to know the result.

Hearing that Pei Yun had come to the mission hall, Li Lanlan came over with her follower Zhang Lu.

The two spoke in high voices, with an undisguised look of provocation on their faces, causing some of the surrounding disciples to come over and look at the confrontation between the three, pointing and criticizing...

"Is this Pei Yun? I heard that she is also a top-notch genius in the sect. Isn't it said that her talent is no worse than Elder Luo's?"

"Forget it! What kind of talent does Elder Luo have? Can Pei Yun compare with him?"

"Don't tell me, I can't even tell what Senior Sister Pei's current level of cultivation is. I heard that this Senior Sister Pei is very young..."

“Qing Qifeng is the same, why would you offend her?”

"You don't know this, do you?" The disciple who was watching from the sidelines looked like he was enjoying the show, and whispered to his companions, "I know this Senior Sister Li from Qingqi Peak. I heard that she has always admired Elder Luo! Ever since Elder Luo returned to the sect, there have been rumors that Elder Luo and Senior Sister Pei are in a Taoist relationship. If this happens, the admirer will be very anxious, hehe!"

"How is it possible! Elder Luo has always been pure and indifferent to women, how could he have a Taoist partner!" Luo Rufeng has many admirers in the sect, and some female disciples have also heard these vague rumors, but they all helped Luo Rufeng to deny them on their own.

Pei Yun listened to the disciples' whispers around her, shook her head and smiled, but she was not angry. She had heard a lot of gossip from others in the past, and now that the target had become herself, she didn't think it was a big deal. Besides, her relationship with Luo Rufeng would be made public sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to spread so quickly.

Pei Yun ignored the sarcastic words of Li Lanlan and the others, and prepared to leave with Qu Yi and others.

Unexpectedly, the two men saw that she was silent and thought she was guilty. Li Lanlan felt much more at ease and stopped her in her tracks. She became even more arrogant and domineering in her words:

"I advise some people to go to the Zhengfa Hall and confess their mistakes before Elder Luo finds out about this. Someone's face is not worth mentioning, but damaging Elder Luo's reputation is a crime that cannot be forgiven..."

Before Li Lanlan finished her words, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked out the door. They held their breath, and their surprised eyes followed Luo Rufeng's figure little by little...

Luo Rufeng walked up to Pei Yun as if nothing had happened, and said in his usual gentle tone: "Have you completed the entry procedures?"

"It's done. I was just about to take them back to Lingjian Peak..." Pei Yun nodded.

"Let's go!" Amid a burst of gasps, Luo Rufeng took Pei Yun's hand, and the two of them left the mission hall in an intimate manner without even looking at Li Lanlan and the others.

The disciples who passed by the two and saw this scene were all stunned! They all stopped and looked at the two people's backs in disbelief...

After a moment of silence in the mission hall, a lively discussion broke out.

"Oh my god! I've never seen Venerable Rufeng be so close to other female disciples..."

"You still don't understand this! Senior Sister Pei is Elder Luo's Taoist partner! Otherwise, Elder Luo would not take the initiative to hold a woman's hand!"

"Elder Luo... he's being so high-profile this time!"

"This is a slap in the face!" The disciple looked at Li Lanlan and the other person who were frozen in place with disdain, "Some people just don't know their own limitations. Others don't bother to argue with her, but she thinks they are spreading rumors..."

"So... now I'm being slapped in the face by the real boss himself!"

"What a busybody! Who does she think she is? Elder Luo might not even know her and needs her to 'fight for injustice'..."

"I'm just jealous! I'm just jealous of Senior Sister Pei..."

“But Elder Luo should remember her this time. After all, Elder Luo still remembers the appearance of this enemy who ridiculed Elder Luo’s Taoist partner in public…”

At the back, the disciples who were watching were already mercilessly mocking Li Lanlan and the other two. Zhang Lu covered her face in shame and said, "Senior Sister Li, let's leave!"

Li Lanlan listened to the sarcasm of the people around her, looked at Luo Rufeng's back, and thought about his actions just now. She felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face, and her face, as pale as paper, was filled with unwillingness and despair.

She tightly grasped Zhang Lu's wrist and even used her spiritual power to make Zhang Lu scream in pain. When she came to her senses, the two of them fled back to Qingqi Peak in a panic like rats crossing the street...
