The Thirteen Peaks of Taiqing Sect, with the main peak undoubtedly being Divine Peak where Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang resides.
This peak rises high into the sky, majestic and grand, with cascading waterfalls, flowing springs, multicolored mist swirling around, and a sense of transcendence above the ordinary.
Palaces are built atop the peak, adorned with intricately carved beams and painted rafters, vibrant with colors, and numerous celestial birds and spirit creatures dancing and chirping within.
At this moment, standing in front of a magnificent hall are a man and a woman.
The man has sword-like brows and starry eyes, his posture upright, standing there akin to a precious sword about to be unsheathed.
His vigor is unstoppable!
This is the top senior brother of Divine Peak—Li Daoxuan!
Beside him stands a young girl dressed in a yellow skirt, with an oval-shaped face, skin like creamy jade, bright eyes, white teeth, a slender figure, and black hair cascading down like a waterfall to her willow-like slender waist.
Her appearance is extremely refined, and she carries a small deerskin bag and a string of golden bells at her waist, looking elegant yet lively and adorable.
This is the new disciple taken in by Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang—Little Sis Lu Yaoyao.
Such a beautiful little sister, even Li Daoxuan couldn't resist stealing a few extra glances, feeling deeply grateful to his mentor.
After so many years, you finally did something right.
Everyone else has senior and junior sisters, but you kept giving me junior brothers, and none of them were trouble-free.
Seems like you've been quietly planning something big.
I approve!
"Junior Sister, don't be nervous, these are all our uncles; you'll get familiar with them gradually!"
Seeing Lu Yaoyao looking around at the sky with anxiety and anticipation in her eyes, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but softly comfort her.
To welcome guests with this little junior sister, he and four other brothers fiercely competed, and he narrowly won due to his superior skills.
"To eliminate me first, they actually teamed up against me, thinking I wouldn't know their tricks!"
Li Daoxuan thought to himself with a chuckle.
Facing Li Daoxuan's comfort, Lu Yaoyao turned and smiled slightly.
Her smile, so fresh and pure, was like the first breeze at dawn in the mountains, gently brushing across one's heart.
It directly made Li Daoxuan's heart ripple, as if he returned to the youthful and ignorant times, experiencing the thrill of meeting someone he fancied for the first time.
He was utterly stunned.
Lu Yaoyao asked, "Senior Brother, will our uncles come from over there later?"
Li Daoxuan, snapping back to reality, blushed slightly and quickly nodded, "Yes, they should be arriving soon. Don't worry, I'll introduce them to you when they come."
"Oh, then Senior Brother, do you know Zhou Qing?" Lu Yaoyao suddenly asked.
Li Daoxuan was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Junior Sister actually knows about Zhou?"
Upon hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Lu Yaoyao's eyes lit up immediately, with a hint of excitement.
"I, I only heard people talking about it, didn't realize he was already at Taiqing Sect." Lu Yaoyao whispered.
Li Daoxuan seemed to understand something and couldn't help but smile.
Indeed, a few years ago, he and his third brother Yan Xiaohu secretly watched a few elderly Supreme Elders bathing, which became widely known, being laughed at for a long time.
Although everyone knew it was intentionally done by those Supreme Elders, considering their age, there was nothing they couldn't notice.
But being peeked at by two young, vigorous boys, it could be seen as proof they retained a certain charm, wasn't it?
Li Daoxuan had to explain to this new junior sister: "Zhou Qing is a disciple of Little Spirit Peak's Uncle Mo Xingjian, ranked fourth among his peers, with two senior brothers and one senior sister above him. His personal cultivation talent is decent; I heard he's already at the Qi Condensation seventh layer…"
Lu Yaoyao listened attentively, occasionally her eyes forming crescent moons while she smiled.
"Then Senior Brother, what do you think of Zhou Qing?"
After the introduction, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but ask.
Li Daoxuan became even more suspicious; this little junior sister seems way too interested in Zhou.
It must be his notorious reputation making Junior Sister curious, after all, they haven't even met.
Reflecting for a moment, he continued: "Hard to evaluate, mainly because I've had little interaction with him, less than three encounters in total. But I did hear some news this morning about him secretly watching a group of female disciples bathing last night…"
Li Daoxuan shared the latest gossip with her.
Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened in disbelief, but then showed admiration.
"He actually did that? Unbelievable, but considering his age, he is full of youthful energy, understandable."
Although Lu Yaoyao said so, she seemed excited, like discovering some unknown gossip.
Seeing the junior sister interested in this topic, Li Daoxuan continued: "I heard he was caught in the Precepts Hall last night, not sure if he's out yet. There's actually a root cause for this; a few years ago he and his senior brother secretly watched… someone's here, I'll tell you in detail when we have free time."
Li Daoxuan suddenly noticed something and quickly stood upright.
Lu Yaoyao looked curious, but had no choice but to wait for another time to explore the details.
From afar, several figures were flying with sword control, leading with an old man with graying hair, seated on a golden gourd, exuding an imposing aura.
Li Daoxuan whispered hastily: "That's Gao Xuan from Golden Sun Peak, and his direct disciples, from left to right, are Kong Yu, Du Kui, Luo Xue…"
Time passed bit by bit, and Lu Yaoyao was frowning, trying to recall the names and faces of the uncles, brothers, and sisters she had just greeted, to ensure she wouldn't make awkward mistakes next time.
Meanwhile, Li Daoxuan was organizing the gifts received, clicking his tongue at the times changing rapidly.
It's been only a few years, but the gifts are getting more expensive, recalling his early years when he felt quite destitute compared to now.
"Junior Sister, pay attention, someone from Little Spirit Peak is coming!"
At this moment, Li Daoxuan hurriedly reminded.
Lu Yaoyao's heart moved, immediately looking towards the sky.
In the distance, a glittering Eight Trigrams Disc was speeding towards them, with three people standing on it.
A middle-aged man was at the forefront, his robes fluttering, long hair dancing in the wind, appearing sacred and dignified.
Beside him stood two youths holding gift boxes.
The boy on the left had a round face, small eyes, and a mischievous expression, stretching his neck to curiously look at her.
The boy on the right… so tender, so cute!
Li Daoxuan hurriedly said, "This is Uncle-Master Mo from Little Spirit Peak, on the left is his third disciple Yan Xiaohu, and on the right... he actually came out from the Precepts Hall. Junior Sister, he is Zhou Qing."
As soon as Li Daoxuan's whispered introduction was over, the three of them landed in front of them.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Mo!" Li Daoxuan quickly saluted.
Mo Xingjian nodded slightly, immediately understanding that the person in front of him was the new sixth disciple taken in by the Sect Leader... no, it should be Xiaoliu.
Not bad at all, quite pleasing to the eye.
Just when he was about to praise, he saw her standing there dumbfounded.
Following her gaze, he looked puzzled.
At this moment, Zhou Qing was also looking at Lu Yaoyao appreciatively.
Unexpectedly, the new disciple taken by the Sect Leader is so good-looking, truly beautiful.
At first sight, an inexplicable tremor went through his heart.
Wait——
Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to realize something, subconsciously turning his head to look behind him.
There was no one there.
Was she staring at me?
Am I really that handsome?
This damn charm, could this girl have fallen for me at first sight?
Zhou Qing suddenly felt a surge of smug satisfaction.
Usually, it's the men who fall for the women at first sight, how did it get reversed here?
But this feeling is really quite nice!
Yan Xiaohu batted his swollen little eyes, first looking at the bashful junior brother, then at Lu Yaoyao who was staring intently with naked eyes, and felt that his worldview was severely shaken.
Seriously, this is too melodramatic, isn't it?
Here I am, standing tall and handsome, dashing and charismatic, and you didn't even glance at me.
"Junior Sister——"
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become a bit awkward, Li Daoxuan quickly tugged lightly at Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Yaoyao, coming back to her senses, suddenly panicked and quickly saluted.
"Disciple Lu Yaoyao, greetings Uncle-Master Mo, Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother... Zhou!"
So her name is Lu Yaoyao.
What a cute name.
Mo Xingjian nodded slightly and then cleared his throat to remind them. Zhou Qing and the others hurriedly offered their gifts.
"Thank you, Uncle-Master!" Lu Yaoyao expressed her gratitude again.
Li Daoxuan said, "Uncle-Master, everyone else is here, please come inside!"
Only then did Mo Xingjian lead the two inside.
Yan Xiaohu lightly nudged Zhou Qing, signaling him to look behind.
Zhou Qing turned around, meeting Lu Yaoyao's complex gaze again, and sighed immediately.
"My irresistible charm!"
Yan Xiaohu gave Zhou Qing a kick on the butt, saying, "You just keep being smug. But as your Senior Brother, I have to kindly remind you, beautiful women are often trouble. So many people will pursue this pure and pretty junior sister, and your cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Condensation is not nearly enough."
Zhou Qing clicked his tongue, but he understood that what his third senior brother said was true, and replied, "Got it, I'm not stupid!"
With that, the three of them entered the main hall.
Unexpectedly, Little Spirit Peak was the last to arrive. Once inside, they found that the various Peak Masters had already taken their seats at the top, engaging in lively conversations.
Below, the core disciples stood to one side, whispering among themselves.
Seeing Master smiling and greeting others, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu saluted the senior uncles and then joined the crowd, smiling and nodding at each other.
Seeing his third senior brother meeting with friends, Zhou Qing unobtrusively retreated little by little until he reached a corner, letting out a sigh of relief.
Generally speaking, in more thrilling and exciting crowded situations, the longer one is unnoticed, the higher the likelihood of gaining Ignore Points.
Even though this is not thrilling, it is solemn enough. As long as I hide well and lower my presence, there should still be a chance.
But no matter the method used, it will take some time.
"Junior Brother Zhou, I heard you did something big last night. Though understandable for a man, as core disciples, we should still be mindful of our image."
Just when Zhou Qing had leaned against a pillar in the corner, a man walked over with a stern expression.
Zhou Qing cursed "annoying" in his heart but was too lazy to explain and could only say, "Senior Brother Liu, your admonishment is correct."
The man called Senior Brother Liu still wanted to say more, but Zhou Qing immediately looked around and said, "Oh, Senior Brother Liu, you're busy, and I need to find my third senior brother."
After saying this, he quickly left.
"Mind your own business, even my senior brothers have not scolded me, who do people from Yunmeng Peak think they are, meddling in everything!"
Zhou Qing muttered inwardly and found another place to stay.
After a short while, two senior sisters in the front kept glancing back at him, eyes full of disdain, whispering to each other.
Zhou Qing was speechless.
This group of core disciples has too high a cultivation, and the LV1 talent skill [Lowering Presence] is useless on them.
Zhou Qing looked around again and moved to another place.
He continued to find several places where he could easily be ignored and finally wasn't noticed anymore.
Not long after, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang stepped out, and everyone saluted.
[Ignore Points +1]
Almost simultaneously, that familiar voice sounded in Zhou Qing's mind, instantly lifting his spirits.
It's working!
