Chapter 795 World 343
Shen Ruyin's doubts were dispelled, but her skepticism remained undiminished.
When Shen Ruyin went to the main peak to speak with Shen Ruwan, she requested a private audience with Sect Master Qian and expressed her doubts one by one, asking Sect Master Qian why he accepted Chen Ling's changes so quickly.
Sect Leader Qian thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it is related to the cultivation at Broken Mind Peak."
"I don't know the inside story, but when I entered the sect, Po Nian Peak was already like it is now, with lush trees and flowers everywhere."
"After your grandmaster left Po Nian Peak and your master became the peak master, the flowers and trees gradually withered and turned into the appearance you see."
"To be honest, when your master first joined Po Nian Peak, he was indeed a shy and gentle child."
After a moment's thought, Master Qian told Shen Ruyin another piece of news: "Your master treats you with the same care that your grandmaster treated him."
Shen Ruyin's first reaction upon hearing this was—"Are you sure this is my master?"
Even so, Shen Ruyin now had a better understanding of the situation.
The changes in Chen Ling should be related to the Ruthless Dao Technique of Po Nian Peak.
If the rise and fall of the plants on Broken Peak are cyclical, then Chen Ling's cultivation may have reached another level.
When he returned to Shen Ruwan's place, she was already waiting.
"How is Yinyin? Have your questions been answered?"
"It's not completely clear, but at least we have a direction," Shen Ruyin said, too lazy to think about it any further.
Since Chen Ling emerged from seclusion, she has been busy and hasn't seen Shen Ruwan for quite some time.
These days, the two sisters rarely have time to talk, so there's no need to bring up anything else.
Shen Ruwan then asked about the secret realm again: "Yinyin, what have you thought about it? Now that Venerable Chenling has come out of seclusion, why don't you discuss it with him as well?"
Shen Ruyin nodded: "I'll ask my master when I get back. At worst, I'll just start my Foundation Establishment ahead of schedule."
Shen Ruwan quickly advised her, "You've already waited until you're fourteen, what's wrong with waiting another two years?"
"Besides, I've inquired carefully, and Foundation Establishment isn't exactly a selection criterion for sects. It's just that my Supreme Sect has too many outstanding disciples. When each peak selects, from top to bottom, even Foundation Establishment disciples might not be able to go, let alone Qi Refining disciples."
Shen Ruyin nodded, indicating that she knew about it. She then stood up and turned around in front of her, saying, "Sister, look, I'm even taller than the average fourteen-year-old."
Shen Ruwan had to admit that when her younger sister stood next to her, she was only half a head shorter. If that was the only factor, she could indeed be considered to have grown up.
"Besides your height, what else is there? Go look in the mirror and see your face; it's still so childish."
Shen Ruyin sighed softly and sat down again.
That's right, she still has baby fat on her face.
With that height and that face, he has no presence at all; he's not even as cute as a child with a baby face.
And given her current height, she might grow even taller in a few more years.
Being tall naturally gives you a more imposing presence. You don't even need to say anything when you walk around; your height alone is enough to intimidate others. A cold look in your eyes is enough to deter ordinary people from provoking you.
The two sisters chatted for a while longer, and after dinner, Shen Ruyin returned to Po Nian Peak.
When she reached the intersection at the foot of Po Nian Peak, Shen Ruyin inexplicably glanced at the top of a tree to the side.
"Encountering stars?"
Shen Ruyin's eyes lit up: "You missed me, so you came all this way to find me?"
Yu Xing flew over and nestled into Shen Ruyin's arms, saying without hesitation, "Yes, I just missed you!"
"Hiss," Hong Qi's voice rang out from the shadows of the trees. The fiery red fox leaped up lightly and transformed into a familiar, beautiful woman in mid-air.
Hong Qi didn't expose her own cub, but only said to Shen Ruyin, "Tell it to go back with you and cultivate properly. If nothing happens, tell it not to come back to Beast Taming Peak."
Shen Ruyin understood. No wonder Yu Xing came; it turned out that its mother had forced it to come.
Shen Ruyin stroked its fur tenderly.
Yu Xing faked crying to Shen Ruyin through telepathy.
Hong Qi flicked Yu Xing on the forehead: "Don't even think about slacking off. Take this opportunity to stay put."
"If I catch you again, I'll send you back to your clan and ask the elders to teach you a lesson."
Yu Xing's heartbeat stopped. Taking advantage of its small size, it directly loosened the belt binding Shen Ruyin's sleeves and crawled inside the open sleeve.
Shen Ruyin was wearing a disciple's robe that was easy to move in today. It wasn't very loose, which was a relief that Yu Xing didn't mind. It was also a relief that it was so soft that she could squeeze herself into any part of her body.
Shen Ruyin found it somewhat amusing and said goodbye to Hong Qi, "Aunt Hong Qi, I'm going back now."
Hong Qi could only smile at Shen Ruyin: "Go back now, and I'll trouble you to keep an eye on Yu Xing."
"If it misbehaves, just tell me. The elders of the clan have been eyeing it for a long time."
Seeing that Shen Ruyin seemed a little curious, Hong Qi added, "It is the most talented fox cub of this generation. The clan values it highly and specially asked the elders to set up the best school to teach it, but it doesn't appreciate it."
For every sentence Hongqi said, Yuxing would retort.
I was the only student in that school.
A bunch of teachers were teaching me, and lots of eyes were on me.
[One teacher said east, another said west, and after arguing, they all came to me one by one to "recite scriptures."]
[They even dressed up as old people to make me study harder! How mean they are!]
Hearing Yu Xing's heartbroken cries in her mind's ear, Shen Ruyin replied: 【That's terrible.】
How could it not be terrifying?
Yu Xing hates it when someone keeps nagging in front of it.
Unfortunately, the fox clan elders brought up what it disliked in their classes, so it would be strange if Yu Xing didn't hate studying.
Shen Ruyin coaxed it: "Then Yuxing will come back with me to cultivate. My master is only a little long-winded now, but he's still good-looking."
After comparing the two stars, he agreed.
Shen Ruyin winked at Hong Qi discreetly and said goodbye again.
Hong Qi's smile widened even more as she waved to her, "Go on, go on."
As they approached the courtyard where they usually lived, Shen Ruyin spotted Chen Ling practicing her moves in the open space.
Today, Chen Ling was dressed in a loose, light, water-colored robe. With every move she made, her robes fluttered, giving her an ethereal air.
Shen Ruyin landed on the rooftop, first admiring the beauty, then being drawn to the swordplay.
This set of moves has some merit.
After not seeing Shen Ruyin move for a long time, Yu Xing slowly retreated a little from her sleeve, then struggled to turn over, peeking out her fluffy little head from the sleeve.
Wow! Your master is so handsome!
[It must have been because the night was too dark when we first met that I didn't see clearly, or because I was still shaken and didn't look up during the next two days.]
【Yinyin, I want to cultivate with you. I promise I won't run off to play again this time!】
Just as Chen Ling sheathed his sword, Shen Ruyin couldn't help but glance down at him.
Yuxing Baby, didn't you used to dislike appreciating human beauty and ugliness, and only look at people's hearts?
Well, you can't say that.
Shen Ruyin touched her chin.
Yu Xing has always been very clean and always makes sure she looks beautiful.
So... it's normal for it to like pretty people. Did Chenling's outfit today appeal to it?
Shen Ruyin flew down to Chen Ling and called out obediently.
"Master."
Yu Xing also came out and called out softly in a pinched voice.
Master
