Chapter 32: A maid appeared for no apparent reason?
Hearing the knocks and voices outside the door, Master Xuanyi quickly took out a bracelet from his ring and threw it to the woman in red.
"Take it with you. From today on, your name will be... Never mind. Just pick your own name!"
Then he spoke loudly to the door.
"come in!"
Yue Lingxi pushed the door open first, looked at the woman in red standing next to her master and said.
"This must be the master's wife!"
Lin Yixuan almost fell to the ground just as he was about to step in.
When Master Xuanyi heard this, he spat out the tea in his mouth.
"Bah, bah~bah...what master's wife."
Then he continued speaking to the woman in red.
"Please introduce them to avoid misunderstandings!"
"My family was attacked by bandits and I was the only one left at home. Fortunately, Master Xuanyi saved me, otherwise I would have been..."
The woman in red started crying as she spoke.
(Good acting, worthy of being a fox clan known as the 'Red Night Fox'. He can easily come up with a reasonable excuse)
Master Xuanyi coughed dryly and reminded the woman.
"My name is Hongyao. If you don't mind, please accept me as your maid so that I can have a place to stay."
Hongyao said this while looking at Lin Yixuan with sincere eyes!
Lin Yixuan looked at Hong Yao, and then at Master Xuanyi.
At this time, Master Xuanyi just nodded.
"Okay! Then you can follow me from now on!"
Lin Yixuan said helplessly.
"Thank you, sir!"
As the woman in red spoke, she unconsciously exuded a charming aura.
"Hey, hey! Junior brother, how come you already have a servant? This woman looks so dishonest. Be my servant!"
Yue Lingxi acted coquettishly towards her master in dissatisfaction.
"Alright~ stop messing around! How is your junior brother's foundation being repaired?"
Master Xuanyi quickly changed the subject and asked.
"It's almost there~ You can absorb spiritual energy! This is all thanks to my diligent care for my junior brother during this period of time!"
Yue Lingxi proudly takes credit.
"Okay~ It's all thanks to you. Do you still want to go back to your academy?"
Taoist Xuanyi asked.
"I'm not going back. It's not fun over there. It's more comfortable to stay with my junior brother!"
Yue Lingxi shook her head and said.
"Okay! If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Just stay here! But don't fall behind in your studies."
Master Xuanyi said.
Yue Lingxi stuck out her tongue at Master Xuanyi.
Hong Yao looked at the strange Xuan Yi Zhenren with strange eyes.
(This guy used to be very domineering, and he would kill people at the slightest disagreement. How did he become like this now? It turns out that all men are bad, they are all liars!)
"Okay, let's all go back!"
Master Xuanyi dismissed him.
Then he transmitted the message to Hongyao.
"Don't talk about anything related to me. If you are asked, just say you know nothing!"
"understood."
Hongyao responded.
Everyone left the study together.
Two and a half months later, in Lin Yixuan's room.
(This is the last foundation-building pill. It’s time to break through!)
Lin Yixuan took the foundation-building pill and immediately began to meditate, and then... unsurprisingly, he failed.
Lin Yixuan sighed.
(Looks like I need to find my master to see if he has a foundation-building pill!)
Lin Yixuan stood up, tidied up the place, and opened the door.
At this time, Hongyao was standing outside.
"Master Lin has made a breakthrough?"
Hong Yao looked at Lin Yixuan who came out and asked
Lin Yixuan shook his head and spoke.
"Let's go and see my master!"
Inside the Jinxiushan study.
"Master, you really don't have a foundation-building pill? Then how can I break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"
Lin Yixuan was speechless.
(If you can’t break through to the foundation-building stage, you can’t use any skills, except for the body movement ‘Cloud Shadow Step’.)
"How do you break through? Can't you find a way yourself? ~"
Master Xuanyi said with disdain.
"I…………"
Lin Yixuan was speechless for a while.
(What kind of master is this? Other masters prepare all kinds of materials and wait for their disciples to complete their cultivation and then break through. But this master doesn’t care about anything and doesn’t ask any questions. I have to find a solution on my own. I have been to all the places I should go except the forbidden area. How can I find a solution?)
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much about this problem. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time. A breakthrough requires an opportunity. I guess it's not your turn yet."
Taoist Xuanyi comforted him.
"What is the opportunity? When will it come?"
Lin Yixuan asked.
"Hey~ The secret of heaven cannot be leaked! It cannot be said, it cannot be said~"
Master Xuanyi said seriously.
"…………"
Lin Yixuan was speechless again.
"Since you can't break through, let's go down the mountain! First, wander around Yan State and see if there's an opportunity for a breakthrough. It's been so long, and you're not curious at all about what's going on at home?"
Taoist Xuanyi asked.
"Oh ~ all right! Then I'll go home and take a look, and relax at the same time."
Lin Yixuan said helplessly.
(I knew this master would have some traps waiting for me. But it doesn’t matter, since I can’t break through here anyway. I might as well go out and take a look.)
"By the way, your senior sister has been making a lot of noise lately, you should take her down the mountain to travel with you, let's travel!"
Master Xuanyi reminded.
"I…………"
Lin Yixuan looked at Master Xuanyi speechlessly.
(Oh! Never mind! Just take it with you!)
"Oh, by the way! And the most important thing is..."
Master Xuanyi hasn't finished speaking yet.
"You can't tell others where the mountain gate is, and you can't mention the name of 'Xuan Yi Zhenren', right? You've told me so many times! I know, I know~"
Xin Yixuan said impatiently but helplessly.
Then he left the study.
Somewhere on a cliff.
"Senior Sister~, Senior Sister Lingxi~."
Lin Yixuan shouted.
A figure in green flew up from under the cliff.
"What's wrong? What do you want to talk to your senior sister about?"
After saying this, he did not forget to continue throwing the fishing rod in his hand down.
"The master said that the fish in this pond cannot be fished."
Lin Yixuan said helplessly.
"And you can't catch any fish like this."
"Then tell me how to fish?"
Yue Lingxi asked seriously.
"You have to make a nest first to attract the fish, and then mix the bait in the bait so that the fish will bite the hook."
Lin Yixuan explained.
"Tsk, those are just mortal fishing methods. These fish are smart and can smell the scent of your hook. How can they easily bite the hook?"
Yue Lingxi said with disdain.
"Then you can wrap the fishhook with spiritual energy. Once the fish bites the hook, you can control the spiritual energy to hold the fish. Then you can catch it!"
Lin Yixuan explained
"Ah! Is it possible? Let me try."
Yue Lingxi said as she was about to cast the rod again.
"Wait, aren't you curious about what I want to talk to you about?"
Lin Yixuan asked.
"Oh~ Then what do you want to talk to me about?"
Yue Lingxi asked curiously, her hands already ready to go fishing again.
"Master told me to go down the mountain to gain experience and asked you to come with me."
Lin Yixuan said calmly.
"Oh! Then you go. Wait? Let me go with you? Master agreed to let me go down the mountain?"
Yue Lingxi reacted and said in surprise.
"Let's go! Pack your things and go down the mountain. I'll be waiting for you at the door!"
After Lin Yixuan finished speaking, he took Hongyao away.
“Oh~… Let’s go down the mountain~~~!!!”
Yue Lingxi shouted with joy.
'Senior Sister Yue Lingxi begged Master many times, but Master just didn't agree to let her go down the mountain, so she made all kinds of noises, especially always going against Master's instructions. Well, now that you're down the mountain and staying with me, it's my turn to be restless!'
