The three of them were in no hurry to travel, and they stopped and walked along the way. It took them nearly half a month to reach Yongning City.

Yongning City is relatively close to Yuejian Sect and is the largest city in Beiqizhou. Yongning City is several times larger than the imperial city of Zhouxia Kingdom. I don’t know if it’s because of the upcoming auction and trade fair, there are so many monks in the city that even such a wide street feels extremely crowded. There is an air defense barrier in Yongning City that prohibits flying, fighting, and rampage.

Senior Brother Luo Qi was right. If she went back to Yunshan Sect alone first, and then received the news and rushed over, she might not be able to enter the city.

"Let's go back to the Luo family first." Luo Rufeng looked around and said to the two of them. The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the Luo Mansion.

What Pei Yun didn't know was that when they first entered the city, many people paid attention to them.

Inside the carriage, a woman in pink opened the curtain, looked at the three people's backs and murmured, "Uncle Luo and Luo Qi are back?!"

At this time, the pink-dressed woman also saw Tao Yanyun who had returned from Yuejian Sect not far away. Seeing her staring at Luo Rufeng's back without saying a word, she felt very disdainful and contemptuous. When the Tao family broke off the engagement, it caused a big commotion among the major families in Yongning City. The major families treated it as a joke. Of course, those people treated Luo Rufeng and the Luo family as a joke.

Now... The pink-dressed lady chuckled, feeling like something interesting was about to happen...

At the same time, in a crowded restaurant at the city gate, the cultivators from various major families, especially the young men of the same generation as Luo Rufeng, were shocked that Luo Rufeng had actually returned!

Luo Rufeng hasn't returned to the Luo family in Yongning City for several years. In the beginning, he was rejected by the Yuejian Sect and was a good-for-nothing with low spiritual roots. Everyone laughed at him secretly, and some even ridiculed him to his face. However, they didn't expect that Luo Rufeng would keep fighting back amidst these ridicules. After learning the news that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

You should know that the highest cultivation level of the young people of his generation in Yongning City is only the middle stage of the Golden Core. However, Luo Rufeng has not returned to Yongning City for several years, and has not returned to the Luo Mansion after the Nascent Soul stage. During the Nascent Soul ceremony, it was the Luo family who went to the Yunshan Sect to congratulate him. After returning, Huang Lanshi praised her son highly and showed off in front of the major families.

"It's exciting now!"

"I wonder if the Tao family is regretting giving up such a son-in-law..."

"The Tao family will never regret it! I heard that Tao Yanyun and the young master of Yuejian Sect are in love with each other. Even if she is not talented, she still has such a strong backer like Yuejian Sect..."

"Now that Luo Rufeng is back, the Luo family will definitely have a spot to enter the Sword Pond."

Someone also noticed Pei Yun: "Who was the little girl following Luo Rufeng and his nephew just now?"

"I guess his nephew brought him back to see his elders..."

Everyone in the Luo family thought so too. At this moment, the main hall of the Luo family was already full of people. Luo Rufeng and his friends were the last to return home. The head of the Luo family and his wife Huang Lanshi sat at the top, the eldest son Luo Chengfeng and his wife, the second son Luo Lingfeng and his wife sat at the bottom respectively, and their children stood beside them. The hall was full of laughter.

It was in such a warm atmosphere that Luo Rufeng, Luo Qi and Pei Yun walked in, and the three of them saluted.

Huang Lanshi hadn't seen her youngest son for a long time. She excitedly held his hand, her face showing joy but she complained: "...you haven't come back to see us for so long. If I hadn't sent you a letter to urge you to come back..."

Luo Chengfeng and his wife were very happy to see their son back. They quickly took him aside to ask about his well-being. When they saw that he had broken through to the late stage of foundation building, they praised him continuously.

"Father, Mother, this is Junior Sister Pei Yun, also a disciple of the Yunshan School. It just so happens that this auction and trade fair at Baolin Pavilion is coming, so I invited Junior Sister Pei to be a guest of the Luo family." Luo Qi introduced Pei Yun to everyone.

"Junior greets Grandmother Luo, the head of the Luo family, and greets uncle and aunt..." Pei Yun bowed again, "Junior is sorry to bother you."

Huang Lanshi didn't care about her youngest son anymore. She looked at Pei Yun with shining eyes and glanced at Luo Qi with approval. Luo Chengfeng and his wife were also overjoyed. They didn't expect their eldest son to bring a girl back to see them. They felt that good things were coming.

Except for Master Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun, everyone else present was looking at Pei Yun and Luo Qi with surprise.

"Miss Pei, there's no need to be polite. Since you are Xiaoqi's junior sister, you should let him entertain you when you come to Yongning City..." Huang Lanshi smiled, and the always majestic head of the Luo family beside her also showed a kind smile.

The people around were talking to each other, telling Pei Yun to feel free to settle down. Even the younger generation was not afraid of strangers, holding Pei Yun's hand and asking in a baby voice: "Sister, can I play with you?"

"Of course." Pei Yun smiled and lowered his head to touch the little girl's head.

Pei Yun chatted with Huang Lanshi's hand for a long time, and was asked some questions by the women present, such as how she knew Luo Qi and how Luo Qi treated her. She looked at Luo Qi in confusion. Luo Qi held his forehead and shook his head helplessly. He knew that the people present must have misunderstood the relationship between him and Pei Yun.

It was not the right time to speak with so many people around. To avoid embarrassing Pei Yun, he planned to explain to his grandmother and the others in private.

In no mood--

Huang Lanshi was just about to arrange for the servants to prepare the guest rooms and take Pei Yun downstairs to rest first.

Luo Rufeng suddenly said, "No need to prepare a guest room, she can just live in my yard."

As soon as he said this, the lively atmosphere around him suddenly became quiet, and there was not a sound. It seemed that they were stunned by his words. When they came to their senses, they stared at Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun with shocked and weird expressions.

"Follow me." Luo Rufeng ignored their gossiping gazes, put his hands behind his back, glanced at Pei Yun calmly, then turned and left.

Pei Yun came back to his senses. Although he felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he still agreed, bowed to everyone, and followed Luo Rufeng to leave.

Everyone looked at their backs as they left, and turned their gaze to Luo Qi. Luo Qi had a speechless expression on his face. The misunderstanding was even deeper.

"You can live in this room. If you have any problem, just tell the servants... or tell me. I live in the room opposite. Just walk across the bridge in front."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Luo Rufeng nodded and continued: "It's quiet here, no one will dare to disturb you, you should have a good rest."

He saw the person opposite him staring at him with a pair of bright black eyes and a smile on his face. Somehow, he felt a slight itch in his heart as if it was gently tickled.

"...I'm leaving first." Luo Rufeng avoided her gaze uncomfortably, and left with a bit of haste.

Pei Yun watched his back disappear before walking into the room. The room was quite large, with a screen between the outer room and the inner room. As soon as he opened the window, he could see the blooming plum blossoms and smell the faint fragrance of the plum blossoms.

She looked around, nodded with satisfaction at Luo Rufeng's arrangement, then sat down and started refining the elixir.

The magic weapons she had on her now, the Golden Sword, Silver Mirror, Alchemy Furnace, and the Time Plate, were all what she needed, so she couldn't trade or auction them off. Not to mention the precious spiritual flowers and herbs, which she couldn't bear to exchange, so she thought about it and could only refine the elixir herself and trade it out.

In the next few days, Pei Yun did not leave the room at all. She was concentrating on refining the seventh-grade elixir until most of the ordinary herbs she had stockpiled were used up. Only then did she come to her senses and stop.

Seventh-grade elixirs were even more difficult to refine, and she had wasted several furnaces before she slowly got the hang of it. However, looking at the piles of elixir bottles in front of her, she still felt a sense of accomplishment.

After a day's rest, Pei Yun wanted to go out and have a good stroll in Yongning City. She only took a quick glance at the city that day and could feel its prosperity. Then she wanted to buy some materials for alchemy, but she didn't expect Luo Rufeng to come to her first.

"Your Excellency." Pei Yun bowed respectfully.

"Luo Qi said that you have been practicing a sword technique recently, and you have many questions to ask him..."

Hearing this, Pei Yun knew that Luo Qi had told Luo Rufeng about her practice of the Nine Profound Gold Sword Technique. She thought to herself and said, "When I was practicing the Nine Profound Gold Sword Technique, I encountered some problems, so I asked Senior Brother Luo Qi for advice."

"...Follow me." Luo Rufeng brought her to a spacious open space in the center of the courtyard. There were sword marks of varying depths on the surrounding walls and the ground. It could be seen that this was where Luo Rufeng usually practiced.

"Show me your sword skills."

Pei Yun knew that Luo Rufeng wanted to teach her swordsmanship, and she was very happy. After all, Luo Rufeng's swordsmanship level was much higher than Luo Qi's, and he could see the shortcomings in her swordsmanship better.

Holding the wooden sword in her hand, she carefully performed the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique from beginning to end. She thought that her swordsmanship had improved greatly compared to when she asked Luo Qi for advice in the sect, but she didn't expect that after Luo Rufeng saw it, he frowned and looked serious.

He took Pei Yun's wooden sword and practiced the Nine Mysterious Golden Swordsmanship again, which stunned Pei Yun. This... this swordsmanship she performed was not the same as the one Luo Rufeng performed!

The Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique was extremely powerful under Luo Rufeng's sword. The golden sword beams overlapped layer by layer, and the sword force was so powerful that the water in the pond not far away was stirred up by huge waves. By the time the ninth move was completed, his body was surrounded by a ball of light composed of golden sword beams. It turned out that the perfect golden artistic conception and the perfect sword intent could bring the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique to such a level.

After Luo Rufeng finished his performance, he did not return the wooden sword to her. Instead, he performed the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique again. However, this time he did not mobilize his spiritual power. He only relied on his artistic conception and sword intent, in order to let her see the essence of each move of the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique.

Pei Yun was both happy and distressed. She was happy because Luo Rufeng was very patient and helped her to break down each move one by one, demonstrating it in front of her again and again without getting tired, making it easier for her to understand and comprehend. She was distressed because Luo Rufeng was a strict master. Although he would not criticize her, she could feel that Luo Rufeng was dissatisfied from his frown and expressionless face.

Luo Rufeng's actions also showed that he was very dissatisfied. They had been practicing for more than a day. If her spiritual power had not been exhausted and her mental strength had not reached its limit, Luo Rufeng probably would not have let her go.

"Your Excellency, I have been refining pills a few days ago, and I have almost used up all the materials. May I go out of the house for a while?" After all, she was a guest, and she had to say hello to the owner of the house. Of course, she also had a deeper hint that she hoped Luo Rufeng would understand, that is, she wanted to go out, she wanted to refine pills, and don't catch her to practice swordsmanship anymore. Although strict teachers produce excellent students, she has been in a state of high concentration, which really makes her nervous!

Luo Rufeng nodded: "I will tell my mother, it's okay for you to come and go as you please..." Just as Pei Yun was cheering in his heart and preparing to say goodbye, he pursed his lips and said, "...You just came to Yongning Mansion and are not familiar with it yet, I will accompany you tomorrow."

Pei Yun looked up at him in surprise. She had originally wanted Luo Qi to take her out for a walk, but since Luo Rufeng was so kind, it was difficult for her, a junior, to refuse. She smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Venerable Rufeng... See you tomorrow, Venerable?"

"See you tomorrow." Luo Rufeng replied softly, glanced at her and left.

On the second day, everyone in the Luo Mansion saw Luo Rufeng actually going out shopping with a woman! It was simply unbelievable!

Huang Lanshi looked at the backs of the two people walking together with a smile on her face. Luo Chengfeng and his wife beside her stopped Luo Qi, who was about to go out with Pei Yun, with a gossipy look on their faces.

"Your third uncle can just take Miss Pei out, why are you joining in the fun!" Du Yuan pulled her son and patted him on the shoulder.

"...I promised Junior Sister Pei that I would take her out for a walk."

"Xiao Qi, your third uncle has brought Miss Pei, and they still need your entertainment. You should practice well with your father during this period, and don't disturb your third uncle and Miss Pei..." Huang Lanshi pulled Luo Qi's ear and warned.

"Grandma, you really misunderstood. Third Uncle is the elder of Yunshan Sect, and Junior Sister Pei is a disciple of Yunshan Sect, so Third Uncle took better care of Junior Sister Pei. It's not what you think..." Luo Qi wanted to defend his master and junior sister. It would be embarrassing if the two of them knew about this random matchmaking.

"Young, you are still too young..." Huang Lanshi said confidently, "When has your uncle ever been so close to a woman and cared so much about her..."

Luo Qi thought about it and really didn't have any idea. His master was really a little special to Junior Sister Pei. According to his understanding of his master, his master would definitely not have the leisure to accompany an ordinary disciple to go shopping. With his personality, he should push it to himself to accompany Junior Sister Pei. But this time, he not only accompanied Pei Yun out in person, but also didn't inform himself.

Could it be... Luo Qi touched his chin, his expression gradually became weird. This is really... He just wanted Pei Yun to be his junior sister, but his master wanted Pei Yun to be his master's wife? ! He was shocked by his own idea, but then he became excited again. In fact, this is not impossible!

On the other side, Luo Rufeng brought Pei Yun to Baolin Pavilion in Yongning City. Baolin Pavilion has five floors, where everything is sold. There is also a daily trading market on the first floor. Some cultivators will rent a table in Baolin Pavilion to sell or barter.

Pei Yun was afraid that he didn't have enough spirit stones. After all, tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones were considered good in Zhouxia Country, but in Yongning City, he might not be able to buy even a single good magic weapon.

She first sold some seventh-grade elixirs that she had refined, such as the ordinary Xiuling Pills and Ningshen Pills.

Since she had just refined these pills, their quality was not high, all of them were lower grade or middle grade seventh grade. However, the price they were sold for was similar to that of the upper grade eighth grade Wuque Dan that she had refined, after all, it was one grade higher.

With the spiritual stones in her ring as a foundation, she strolled around at ease. She was not in a hurry to buy materials for alchemy, but instead strolled around the trading market on the first floor with great interest. Luo Rufeng also let her do what she wanted, and the two walked side by side, strolling around the stalls one by one. Pei Yun asked him about things he didn't understand, and he patiently explained.

Some local monks who knew Luo Rufeng secretly glanced at the two and whispered to each other -

"Luo Rufeng actually came to Baolin Pavilion!"

"It's so rare that Luo Rufeng actually has the leisure to browse the stalls on the first floor..." You have to know that all of these family members are favored children. Usually, when they enter the Baoling Pavilion, they go directly to the fifth floor and wait for the steward to put the treasures in front of them for appreciation. Who would go to browse the stalls of those poor cultivators?

"Don't you think it's even more incredible that Luo Rufeng is actually shopping with a woman?"

"Who is this woman? Which family is she from?"

As one of the most outstanding talents in Yongning City and even the entire Beiqi Continent, Luo Rufeng has now returned to his hometown, Yongning City. Naturally, his every move has received huge attention...

"Look! Tao Yanyun is here..." Some monks who liked to watch the fun shouted excitedly, even deliberately speaking louder just to let Luo Rufeng hear.
