The old woman who had her eyes closed and was breathing weakly seemed to have heard a long-lost voice. She slowly opened her eyes, and when her cloudy and dim gaze met the familiar young face, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the expression on her face shone brightly as if a last burst of light was coming to her.

"Miss." Xiaodie's lips moved slightly.

All the Zhou family members present were shocked and looked at Pei Yun with different expressions.

Pei Yun held her skinny hand and said gently, "Xiao Die, I'm here to see you."

Looking at the old man in front of her, she recalled her young self in her previous life. At that time, the housekeeper of the mansion brought a girl about her age to her mother's yard and assigned this shy girl to her as a maid. Xiaodie stayed with her until she entered the Yunshan Sect.

Thinking back on it now, it seems so far away, yet it also seems like it happened yesterday. That childish and innocent little face and the face full of wrinkles in front of me seem to overlap at this moment.

Looking at Pei Yun's still youthful appearance, Xiaodie showed a relieved smile on her old face. At this moment, the person she had always wanted to see again finally met her before she died, fulfilling her last wish, and the breath she had been holding on to also dissipated.

She gently held his hand back and closed her eyes. She had no strength to speak anymore. Her breath became weaker and weaker. Pei Yun did not say anything and stayed by her side until midnight, when Xiaodie passed away quietly in her sleep...

The entire Zhou Mansion was hung with white cloth. The old man had been seriously ill for some time. The Zhou Mansion had made preparations long ago. Pei Yun also left some elixirs that mortals could take for Xiaodie, so she was able to live to this age without illness or pain. The death of someone at this age is already a happy funeral in the mortal world.

The middle-aged man, Xiaodie's son, respectfully welcomed Pei Yun to the hall and bowed, saying, "My mother once told me that I was born a slave. It is because of my predecessors that I am where I am today..."

Pei Yun's face showed no sign of anything unusual. She just asked the man in front of her to call the people in the mansion: "...My name is Pei Yun, and I'm the elder of Yunshan Sect. If there are children in the mansion with spiritual roots, I can bring them into Yunshan Sect..." This was the last thing she could do for Xiaodie.

A hint of ecstasy flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he quickly ordered his servants to call the younger generations of the Zhou family to the hall.

After a spiritual root test, it was found that there was indeed a younger generation with spiritual roots, Xiaodie's granddaughter, who was fourteen years old this year and of the lower grade yellow level.

"...Although you have spiritual roots, their grade is not high. You can only be a menial disciple when you enter Yunshan Sect. If you are willing to join, you can bring this token to my Yunshan Sect and someone will make arrangements for you." Pei Yun said as he took out a wooden token from his ring and gave it to the girl in front of him.

The Zhou family members who were watching looked at Zhou Zihan with envy and jealousy. The middle-aged man said happily: "Senior Pei, there is nothing to consider. Let Zihan go with you to Yunshan Sect!"

Chi Ning City is a city where mortals and cultivators live together. In the eyes of mortals like the Zhou family, becoming a cultivator is a step to heaven, so there is naturally no reason to refuse.

Pei Yun looked at Zhou Zihan who was excited and said, "The status of menial disciples in the sect is the lowest. Survival there may be more difficult than in the mortal world. I am only giving you a chance to enter the sect. As for what you will face in the future, I will not interfere. You should think carefully before deciding whether to join my Yunshan Sect..."

After saying this, he refused the Zhou family's attempt to keep him and left the Zhou Mansion directly.

After leaving Zhou Mansion, she quietly came to her mother's grave, paid her respects, and then returned to Yunshan Sect.

As soon as Pei Yun returned to Yunshan Sect, he went to Lingjian Peak first. In the courtyard at the top of the mountain, Luo Qi and Lan Chu were sitting and talking.

Lan Chu was accepted as a disciple by Luo Rufeng, so he has been living on Lingjian Peak.

"Master's wife!" Lan Chu's eyes lit up when he saw Pei Yun.

Pei Yun smiled and touched Lan Chu's head, then looked at Luo Qi: "How is the Venerable?"

"Master is still in a coma, and the Supreme Elder is treating Master in the palace now." Luo Qi sighed and shook his head.

The supreme elder he was referring to was Ling Zongyang. Ling Zongyang was now in the early stage of the Refining Void Realm and had the highest cultivation level in the entire Yunshan sect. The other supreme elder, Shen Lingxian, was in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. After he obtained the position of an elder in the outer hall of the Taoist Temple, he had been practicing in the temple all year round.

It was not until it was completely dark that Ling Zongyang walked out of Luo Rufeng's palace, and the three of them immediately went to greet him.

"Rufeng was seriously injured this time, especially his soul was traumatized. Fortunately, you gave him the elixir in time and used the Chaos Pearl to protect his soul, otherwise his foundation would definitely be damaged..." Ling Zongyang said seriously.

"I'll go see him." Pei Yun's face was full of worry. He couldn't help himself any longer. After greeting everyone, he entered the inner room of the palace.

Late at night, after Pei Yun used the Xisheng Jue to help Luo Rufeng regulate the chaotic spiritual energy in his body, he sat beside the bed, holding his hand, and staring at him without blinking...

After an unknown amount of time, she leaned over and gently laid on top of him, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, tears welling in her eyes, and she murmured as if talking to herself: "...Luo Rufeng, I only have you."

As if he heard the person next to him talking, the unconscious Luo Rufeng's fingers moved inadvertently. He slowly opened his eyes, raised the hand that was not held by Pei Yun with great effort, gently stroked the head of the person in front of him, and called out: "Yun'er."

Pei Yun was startled, then raised his head in surprise. The two looked at each other, with only each other in their eyes...

As Luo Rufeng woke up, his injuries got better day by day.

Two months later, Pei Yun received a report from the outer sect manager that Zhou Zihan had come to Yunshan Sect. Because of Pei Yun's recommendation, he was directly accepted into the outer sect and became a menial disciple of Yunshan Sect.

Luo Rufeng is in seclusion for cultivation and contemplation. During this trip to Lingxi Mountain, he received the inheritance of Nanling Sword King and the guidance of An Jueran, so his seclusion this time may last at least four to five years, or as long as ten to twenty years.

After reaching the Spirit Transformation level, future cultivation will only become more and more difficult. It will be impossible to break through as easily as before. Seclusion for ten or twenty years is no big deal.

Pei Yun returned to Pingzhu Peak. She had been promoted to the Spiritual Transformation realm not long ago and showed no signs of a breakthrough at the moment, so she took on the duties of the sect's elder.

Apart from Luo Rufeng, Pei Yun is the strongest among all the elders. Moreover, several elders including Liang Feng who went to Lingxi Mountain with her were seriously injured and are currently recuperating. Therefore, Sect Master Mu handed over the matter of the Jindan disciples competition of the ten major sects three months later to Pei Yun for arrangement.

On this day, after Pei Yun finished his alchemy class, he came to the residence of the outer sect disciples alone.

In recent years, the Yunshan Sect has become increasingly prosperous. Even people from other areas of Beiqizhou have come here because of Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng's fame. The sect took the opportunity to recruit many disciples, and the number of menial disciples has increased several times.

Pei Yun restrained his breath and came to the place where the menial disciples lived. There was an endless stream of menial disciples coming and going around, and it seemed that the place was very popular.

She had wanted to secretly observe Zhou Zihan's situation, but she hadn't expected to see a lively scene before she even entered the yard where she lived...
