Yao Yue looked around, and Ku Ming was meditating in the same place, but the tea stove in front of him had long been extinguished, and there was not even a trace of embers left. He clasped his palms together, closed his eyes, and recited unintelligible scriptures in a low voice. I don't know whether it was the dark light at the top of the tower or the reflection of the moonlight, but the old monk's face looked gaunt, and his shadow fell on the wall as black and gray, as thin as a piece of paper.
He looked like he was exhausted.
"How long are we in there?"
Ku Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no joy or anger in his eagle eyes.
"It's been less than two months. The understanding between the two of you is higher than I expected."
Yao Yue snorted, with a bit of arrogance on her face.
"I know this astrology at the age of six. It's really not that profound."
"Oh? Then the little girl will return empty-handed this time."
The old monk smiled and turned to look at Jiang Mi.
"It's a good thing for my good disciple."
She felt that there was something in these words, and a trace of embarrassment clearly flashed across her pretty and flawless face. She quickly glanced at Jiang Mi and saw that he was just looking at her quietly. Soft ripples suddenly appeared in her heart, and the last bit of annoyance dissipated.
"Little girl, I want to have a few words with my disciple alone. Please go to the bottom of the tower and wait."
The girl didn't say anything more and left as she was told. Turning around, she saw Jiang Mi staring at her back absentmindedly, and Ku Ming showed a helpless smile.
"You idiot, can't you wait even a quarter of an hour to be separated from the little girl?"
Jiang Mi suddenly came to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Master—"
The old monk suddenly fell silent for a while, then sighed quietly.
"When practicing the Six Desire Heavenly Skills, the emphasis is on the purity of the six roots. It is best to convert to Buddhism. But now that you have that little girl, asking you to become a monk is probably more difficult than killing you. You have excellent qualifications and a pure heart. Don’t worry, I’m afraid you’ll be sad.”
He was puzzled, but as if his hands and feet were bound by Ku Ming's words, he was stiff and unable to move.
"The word love means one can take it up and put it down. That little girl has reached the realm of immortality at a young age. Not only is she talented, but she is also determined and unmatched. What she pursues is not the love between a man and a woman, and it is not as good as using love to decide. You are in deep."
The young man's face suddenly turned pale, and fear arose in his heart for no reason. His lips trembled.
"Master, doesn't Yao Yue like me?"
Seeing this, the old monk shook his head.
"Amitabha, it seems that you can't get through this relationship."
He sighed again and compromised.
"Forget it, as long as she is always by your side, this word of love may not be a help."
Yao Yue waited for a stick of incense in the Buddhist hall on the first floor when she saw Jiang Mi walking down alone in despair.
"Where is the Six-Desire Demon?"
"Master passed away after he taught me the skills."
Jiang Mi looked at her with a sullen brow and a complicated expression.
"Where are we going now?"
She looked at the majestic spiritual energy around him and estimated that he was at least as big as the Nascent Soul Realm, but he was still unable to fully control it, and the spiritual energy flowed in a disorderly manner.
"Go to Wanjian Mountain."
She paused and continued, "With your qualifications, it is not difficult to join Wanjian Mountain. It is close enough to your home, and you can go back to the village to visit when you have free time."
His eyes dimmed, and the corners of his mouth dropped slightly.
"Can't I follow you?"
The girl bit her lower lip, and all the unruliness in her eyes was wiped away, leaving only traces of embarrassment and hesitation. She had driven away the Jingtao Sect in Yunmo State and already had a group of enemies, she was about to fight with Mu Xianzhou. If they start a war in Bailian Palace, they will offend a lot of people.
There are many weapon refiners in Bailian Palace, and many weapons and magic weapons in Qianyuan Continent come from this sect. If a war breaks out, other sects will most likely come to reinforce.
"It's too dangerous to follow me. There are two things you must not mention to others after you go back. One is the Six Desire Heavenly technique, and the other is the name Baili Yao Yue. Otherwise, you will be killed."
Seeing that his eyebrows were still downcast, her voice suddenly changed. It was both playful and gentle, as comforting as the spring breeze blowing on her face.
"When I finish the work at hand, I will go to Wanjian Mountain to find you. How about that?"
The annoyance in Jiang Mi's heart was suddenly burned away by another more passionate and infatuated affection. He raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to stand on her sword and put his arms around her waist, refusing to let go.
***
Who would have thought that Yao Yue would meet an acquaintance as soon as they left the Demon Realm?
The man seemed to have expected that she would be here, riding on the mechanical bird and shaking the Thousand Machine Fan, as if he had been waiting for a long time. The face is like a crown jade, the lips are smiling, and the folding fan is swinging, which cannot conceal the noble aura.
"Xingyuan? Why are you here?"
"I figured that your trip to the Demon Realm would be very dangerous, so I came here to help you."
The man smiled, and when he saw the person behind her and the hands around her waist, his fox eyes narrowed slightly.
"Who is this?"
"His name is Jiang Mi, and he will soon be a disciple of Wanjian Mountain."
She pointed at Xingyuan and introduced him.
"The master of the Xingji Pavilion, Xingyuan."
The clothes on the young man's body looked a bit shabby compared to Xingyuan's, but even so, it was hard to hide his beautiful face. A strand of bangs lightly covered his phoenix eyes, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he nodded indifferently to Xingyuan.
Most people couldn't help but flatter themselves when they heard the name of the Master of Xingji Pavilion, but this man just nodded lukewarmly, and with his hands around the girl's waist very naturally, Xingyuan immediately was unhappy in his heart but still had a smile on his face.
"I heard that Qin Qianxue has already started a fight with Bailian Palace. How about I open a teleportation array to take you there?"
The teleportation array arrived in the blink of an eye. She didn't know what the battle situation was like there, so she had no choice but to nod.
The strong muscles on Jiang Mi's back suddenly tightened. Just like a young male wolf that has just grown sharp teeth and is about to launch a challenge to take over the power of the wolf king, he suddenly smells the threatening scent of a foreign beast.
Xingyuan shook his fan and looked at him. He was satisfied when he saw his hand fall from the girl's waist, and then he smiled.
"Where is this fellow Taoist going? I can also open a formation for you."
"Wanjian Mountain."
