"Hey, Junior Sister, have you heard?"

In front of the long bluestone steps, a foundation-building disciple who was sweeping the floor nudged his fellow disciple next to him with his arm.

"What did you hear?"

The junior sister looked back and asked.

"I heard that the head of Tianhele came to Kunlun yesterday, and was received by our head himself."

The foundation-building disciple replied.

"The head of Tianhele? Doesn't he bring Lou Qingyan here every year? What's so strange about that?"

The junior sister thought there was some earth-shattering news, but she was deflated when she heard it. Qu Qi did have a lot of big news in the past, and she was at the forefront of gossip at that time. But ever since he married Zheng Silu's beloved disciple Lou Qingyan, he has been well-behaved in recent years, and she had long given up paying attention to him.

"No, no, no. Although I'm not very clear, I heard from the brothers and sisters in the inner sect that Qu Qi brought a very cute baby over and said he wanted to become their disciple."

"Become a disciple?" The junior sister suddenly opened her eyes wide upon hearing this, and looked up, as if she had smelled the scent of gossip again. She was so excited that she dropped the broom in her hand. Seeing this, she quickly bent down to pick it up, and then asked, "Tianhele is the number one sect, why are they going to Kunlun to become a disciple? Who are they becoming a disciple of? It can't be the head of the sect, right? Then how should this relationship be handled? Mother and daughter calling each other sisters?"

"Ahem, although I don't know yet, it should not be the headmaster. We have to avoid suspicion."

"That's true, but she's the daughter of the head of the world's number one sect. She has to pay respect to the great elders, but the great elders are all of the same generation as the head. Isn't this relationship still a mess? Avoid suspicion, avoid suspicion, where are you avoiding?"

The junior sister replied after hearing this, leaving the disciple who was building the foundation speechless. Finally, he suddenly dropped the broom in his hand unwillingly, turned around and said resolutely.

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Why don't we just run over and take a look?"

"Ah? Although... although I want to do this, it's really not a good idea. What about sweeping the floor?"

The junior sister was a little hesitant.

"It's not very good indeed."

Just as the two were hesitating, they suddenly heard a soft and laughing voice. They turned around and were so scared that they immediately bowed their heads.

"Hello, Elder Zheng Yin."

"Hello." Zheng Yin replied with a smile, "It's okay to take a look, but you still have to finish the work at hand first. What do you think?"

"Of course... the elder is right."

The two replied in unison.

"Master." Suddenly, a man in his twenties came up the long steps, looking hurried. "Master and the others are waiting for us, why are you walking so slowly?"

"Hello, Elder Appeasement."

The two disciples turned around and saluted again.

"Hello."

"You are already an elder, you should behave yourself and walk slower. You can't be so disrespectful like before and even rush me."

Zheng Yin laughed.

"Master, please don't make fun of me. I got up late, so I have to walk faster."

Huo Sui said guiltily, took her arm and walked upstairs.

"Are you anxious now?"

Zheng Yin let him pull her, but still walked slowly. Seeing that he was anxious, she covered her mouth and asked with a smile.

"Got it, got it. I won't do it again next time."

Huo Sui replied helplessly.

"Two elders, walk slowly."

The two disciples behind them finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two people going away. The disciple who was building the foundation then sighed again.

"Phew, luckily it was Elder Zheng Yin. If it was any other great elder, I would have been so scared that I would have knelt down on the spot."

"Yeah yeah."

The junior sister wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and followed suit.

......

"I was here first, I am the senior sister!"

Before Zheng Yin and Huo Sui entered the hall, they heard the sound of a baby shouting, which was very strong and powerful. The two looked at each other, a little confused, and hurried in. As soon as they entered the door, they found two porcelain dolls of almost the same height standing in the middle of the hall, both of them had their hands on their waists, and their faces were not friendly. Zheng Silu and Qi Yuan were sitting at the top of the hall, Shao Yunfan and Guo Jia stood on their right, and the other elders were sitting below the hall, but the high seat was left for Qu Qi.

"You are my senior sister, so why are you being so mean to me? I don't know anything about it!"

Lou Xinzhou yelled, Qu Qi had never expected this to happen. He had never been willing to scold his precious daughter, so where did this wild kid come from? How dare he be so mean to her? Seeing this, he was about to stand up and go to her side to comfort her, to uphold justice, and to support her, but he didn't expect someone to get there first.

It was unknown when Shao Yunfan went down. The sixteen-year-old boy walked to Lou Xinzhou's side, squatted down, and gently held her in his arms, like a white wolf protecting its cub, and then spoke.

"You should talk nicely. She doesn't want to compete with you for the position of senior sister."

Not to mention Qu Qi, almost everyone present was stunned. Qi Yuan then realized that he had gone down. He frowned and looked back at Guo Jia, who waved his hands aggrievedly, feeling both aggrieved and suspicious.

Wei Jiuyi was brought back by Zheng Silu. She was a little rude, but she was just a child after all. Although Shao Yunfan's words seemed to be restrained, he was not polite at all. The half-grown porcelain doll was frightened immediately, took several steps back, and ran to Zheng Silu's side with grievance.

Lou Xinzhou didn't expect that he would come down to help her. She thought it was her father who came, but when she heard the voice, she realized it was this person, so she froze.

"Yunfan." Zheng Silu smiled when she saw this. In her eyes, Shao Yunfan was also a child, so she was not angry, but felt fresh. "I never hear you speak up on weekdays, why are you helping others today? Maybe you like children, but Jiuyi is also your junior sister, you can't just side with Zhou'er."

"What a joke." Qi Yuan also said softly, but there was no blame in her tone, just a little dissatisfaction, "With such a distinguished guest here, why don't you come back quickly?"

After hearing this, Shao Yunfan let go of Lou Xinzhou and returned to Qi Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Qu Qi laughed immediately.

"No problem, no problem. Yunfan is just acting according to reason. There is no need for the elder to be so harsh on him."

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master Gou."

Qi Yuan replied softly after hearing this.

"Now that Elder Zhengyin has arrived, let's begin the apprenticeship ceremony."

Seeing this, Zheng Silu gestured for Zheng Yin and Huo Sui to sit down, then he smiled and said to Qu Qi.

"That's natural."

Qu Qi nodded in response.

Zheng Silu waved his hand and asked someone to serve tea. A purple-red spiritual power streaked through the air, and a waiter with a purple plum print on his forehead appeared out of thin air holding a cup of tea. He walked to Lou Xinzhou, bent down and handed the tea to her, but after a long time, the little girl did not reach out to take it.

Everyone then realized that she was frozen and had not yet come to her senses.

"Xinzhou."

Qu Qi called her with some amusement.

Lou Xinzhou finally recovered and looked up, only to find that she had to go through the ceremony of paying homage to her master. Her whole face turned red. She gritted her teeth, picked up the tea, and walked over with her head lowered to serve tea to Qi Yuan.

"Master, please drink tea."

Shao Yunfan stood beside Qi Yuan. The young boy's eyes were like a starry lake on a moonlit night, rippling with countless clear lights. He stared at the porcelain doll in front of the hall without blinking. His gaze was light and yet heavy, as if it contained tens of thousands of years of time.

Xinzhou, I finally see you again.
