The evenings in major sects are always so lively. After a day of practice, the time from dinner to bedtime is a rare period of free time.
After a tiring day, most disciples chose to wander around the mountains in groups of two or three, while a small number of disciples stayed in their rooms and used this precious free time to improve their skills and surpass their competitors.
Gossipers gather together to share gossip with each other. The person who is most informed will become the leader of the group, and they will chat with each other every day while holding a cup of tea.
Most of the sect's disciples are young people aged fifteen or sixteen. People at this age are the most lively and smart, and are also the most curious.
No matter whether it was interesting stories among their fellow disciples or gossip about the lives of the elders, they mostly accepted it all, listened carefully, and passed it on to each other.
In the past few days, a piece of breaking news has caused a huge stir and has topped the list of topics for a short period of time.
No one cares anymore whether this piece of news is fabricated nonsense or true. The disciples who have first-hand information and update the news at any time cannot satisfy everyone's curiosity unless they tell it ten or twenty times a day.
"I've told you this for the umpteenth time. The first person to release the news was Cheng Lin, an outer disciple of Baiding Mountain. He even showed it to me!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry everyone. The latest information is that the outer sect disciple Cheng Lin from Baiding Mountain and Xiao Pu from Baihua Mountain have succeeded!"
"I've already said that I've got the person, so how can that thing be fake?"
"I know Xiao Pu. She herself said that she is discussing the matter of a Taoist partner with her master."
"How could it be wrong? Luo Bing from the patrol team is my good brother. He personally escorted the two back!"
With many different opinions, more and more evidence confirms the credibility of this topic.
The topic fermented for a while and swept across the entire Lingyun Sect overnight.
At noon the next day, Ye Xinhai and Wu Cao were quietly refining the elixir as usual. Song Qingxue yawned and sat on the recliner behind Ye Xinhai, instructing him in refining the elixir in a casual manner.
After estimating the time, Song Qingxue stopped the two of them and said, "Okay, let's eat."
Ye Xinhai stood up and stretched, his already weak bones making dull sounds of fatigue, "Oh... I'm so tired..."
Everything was so normal, Song Qingxue's casualness, Ye Xinhai's complaints, and the silent Wucao.
Wu Cao returned to the room and picked up the basket. He took a deep breath, opened the door and walked towards the dining hall at the foot of the mountain.
The further away from Wufeng Mountain they were from, the more disciples came and went. Wu Cao's pace became faster and faster, and the chattering among his fellow disciples could still be heard as he passed by.
But this time, there was no such piercing feeling in everyone's eyes.
Entering the cafeteria, Wu Cao quickened her pace and trotted all the way to the serving room, but contrary to her wishes, she was blocked by several people.
"Senior Sister Wucao, do you need help?" a male disciple asked.
Is there anyone else who would call herself Senior Sister besides that person... Wu Cao was stunned and stood there blankly.
"I said that you suddenly started talking to me and caused trouble for me. I'm sorry, senior sister, please go away..." The female disciple who was traveling with her hurriedly smiled and pushed the male disciple away.
But Wu Cao was Wu Cao after all, so she thought that the two men were just being polite and walked into the serving room.
"Senior Sister Wu Cao is here? Come on, come on. We have fish today. Brother Chef just caught it this morning. It's so fresh... Would you like a bowl of fish soup?"
The junior brother who was serving food greeted Wu Cao warmly, which was completely different from his previous indifference and even avoidance.
There were more strange things. As soon as Wu Cao walked out after picking vegetables, she was approached by a group of unfamiliar disciples. Many people who had laughed at and insulted her in person came to apologize and beg for forgiveness.
Even if she didn't say a word, those people wouldn't get angry. Instead, they would be more sincere and respectful to her.
"Senior Sister Wucao, come sit with us?"
The junior sisters extended an invitation.
"Senior Sister Wu Cao, let me get it for you!"
The fellow students took the initiative to help.
Wu Cao, who had never encountered such treatment before, fled the dining hall in panic. Not only the dining hall but also the disciples outside did the same.
Surrounded by kindness, Wu Cao finally reached Wufeng Mountain. Only when she saw the familiar mountain path did she feel at peace.
She didn't understand why the disciples who had once been malicious towards her had a 180-degree reversal of attitude today.
If you are bullied for a long time, even sudden kindness will become a burden.
But with Wucao's personality, she would not ask the reason, so she let the matter go. She had more important things to accomplish...
In the cafeteria, everyone was excited about Wu Cao's arrival just now, and they were telling each other how they treated Wu Cao. No one mentioned Wu Cao's reaction, as if Wu Cao's indifference was taken for granted by them.
"Sure enough, just like the rumors said, Senior Sister Wucao really didn't say a word..."
"It's okay, we just need to treat her sincerely."
"Being too enthusiastic is a bit deliberate. I hope everyone won't treat us coldly like before."
Such positive and energetic speech is very suitable for the young and kind-hearted disciples.
On Wufeng Mountain, Song Qingxue pushed open the door of Ye Xinhai's room. Ye Xinhai inside was watching Dan Yin eat attentively.
Ye Xinhai was startled by the sudden visit of his master, and said angrily: "Master, can't you knock on the door and leave me some privacy!"
"Why, are you afraid that I will see your naked butt?" Song Qingxue said with a smile.
Not wanting to pay attention to his master's teasing, Ye Xinhai turned his attention back to the egg white, "Master, look, it's so powerful that it can actually pick out the fish bones one by one!"
Song Qingxue didn't go over to see her apprentice showing off his new pet. Instead, she leaned against the door frame and asked with a slight smile, "Recently, there are rumors that Xiao Wucao can make a fifth-grade anti-aging pill. Did you know that?"
This topic didn't seem that exciting to Ye Xinhai. He still looked at the egg white and said indifferently, "Really? That's amazing... But I'm a man, and I'm not interested in things like anti-aging pills."
"Really? You were practicing very hard when I taught you a few days ago."
"Didn't you say that the Rejuvenation Pill was for me to find a wife? Of course I'm interested. But I'm interested in a wife, not the Rejuvenation Pill. Senior Sister won't find me a wife."
Song Qingxue, who was not interested in this, did not stop asking questions and continued, "Then did you hear about him risking his life to save people a few days ago when he went down the mountain?"
"Stop talking. I'm so embarrassed as the one who was rescued..." Ye Xinhai covered his face and said helplessly.
"I haven't told you who it is yet." Song Qingxue said with a smile, thinking she had caught a loophole in her little apprentice's language.
"Huh?" Ye Xinhai looked at his master. "Who else could it be? Master, you are so funny. Could the same incident happen twice?"
