Chapter 425: Chapter 425: The Soul Remains after Death, Rebuilding the Body (1)_1

Both of them nodded and closely followed Bei Tong’s steps. After a few steps, there were no signs of anyone else outside the valley.

After walking for several minutes, they finally left the area of the formation, and the white vastness was replaced with a lush and green forest.

"We’ll arrive after passing through this forest," Bei Tong said.

"Ha, I recognize this place," Hao Pengyou said, "We always end up here whenever we come. The transmission array is inside the forest."

As the three of them walked in, Dugu Qianye indeed saw several transmission arrays. Another fifteen minutes of walking brought them out of the forest.

"Has the young master returned? Did you make any gains on your trip?" They saw a very spacious valley with many houses nestled inside as they passed the forest. Some people were shuttling between the houses. Someone saw Bei Tong and greeted him.

Bei Tong nodded at him and said, "All is well. These are two of your fellow disciples. Where is Master now?"

"The grandmaster is currently reprimanding my master in the Li Courtyard, heh heh. She wanted to sneak out again today, but Master caught her red-handed."

"You’re so happy that your master is being scolded!" Bei Tong smacked him on the head and said, "Get on with your business now!"

"Heh heh, then I’ll be off. Little uncle, if you go now, you can rescue my master from her plight." After saying that, the person hurried off.

It was Dugu Qianye’s first visit and he remarked upon seeing the scene before him, "This place really resembles a hidden village!"

"Heh heh, let’s go, I’ll take you to meet Master," said Bei Tong, leading Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou toward the Li Courtyard. Along the way, they constantly came across junior members who greeted Bei Tong. Some sincerely respected him, while others were merely going through the motions. Bei Tong simply smiled at those people without taking it to heart.

When the three arrived at the Li Courtyard, there were no sounds of reprimanding inside.

"Has it finished already?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"No, Master’s method of reprimanding is very special, you will see in a moment," Bei Tong said and led Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou through the courtyard door.

Upon reaching the hall, Bei Tong called out, "Master, I am back," and walked in with them.

When Dugu Qianye entered, he saw two people inside. One man was seated in a position of authority, and a woman in a big red gauze skirt was standing across from him with her head lowered. When Bei Tong spoke, the woman instantly raised her head and looked at him, her gaze rippling slightly.

Bei Tong nodded at her, and Dugu Qianye didn’t miss the joy and relief in her eyes.

"Master, during my time at Xilai Peak, I encountered the two disciples of Third Senior Brother. They mentioned they wanted to visit you, so I brought them back," Bei Tong said.

Ni Yun, dressed in dark clothes and with a serious demeanor, looked at Dugu Qianye and asked, "Are you the new disciple that the third elder has taken in?"

Dugu Qianye bowed to Ni Yun and said, "Disciple Dugu Qianye greets Grandmaster."

Ni Yun remained silent, continuing to look at Dugu Qianye, making her maintain the bow. Seeing Ni Yun’s reaction, Bei Tong became anxious and said, "Master, Qianye, she..."

Ni Yun gave Bei Tong a glance, shutting down his attempt to speak. The scolded woman, seeing Bei Tong speaking for Dugu Qianye, glared fiercely at Dugu Qianye.

"I heard it was you who cured your master’s chronic illness?" Ni Yun said.

Standing up straight, Dugu Qianye replied, "It was me."

Without commenting on her rising, Ni Yun continued to inquire, "And was it you who helped Black and White Impermanence win the Alchemist competition?"

"It was me," Dugu Qianye answered.

"Can you refine a tenth-grade Elixir?"

"Yes."

The conversation between the two was somewhat explosive, and the other three had no idea where this tension had come from.

"Ever since you arrived, you’ve only had eyes for your little junior sister and haven’t even noticed me," Hao Pengyou suddenly said with a look of aggrieved innocence.

Ni Yun gave Hao Pengyou a glance and said, "Is your thick-skinned syndrome acting up again?"

Hao Pengyou had not expected such a reply from Ni Yun and said, "What thick-skinned? I’m genuinely feeling wronged here!"

Hao Pengyou’s interjection dissipated the tense atmosphere between Dugu Qianye and Ni Yun.

"To think I’d have to rely on my own junior nephew to smooth things over, Black and White Impermanence sure seems to have regressed with age," Ni Yun quipped.

"Who doesn’t have moments of desperation," Dugu Qianye retorted.

Upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, everyone reacted differently. Hao Pengyou felt his little junior sister was really audacious, Bei Tong was worried, and the red-dressed female lead seemed to take delight in the misfortune.

"Are you trying to make excuses for your senior uncles?" Ni Yun’s expression was inscrutable as he said this quietly.

"It’s just the facts," Dugu Qianye responded.

"You’re cross with me," Ni Yun stated confidently.

Dugu Qianye was taken aback that he had seen through her, paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I am."

She admitted that seeing Ni Yun made her think of how Shi Honggui had suffered from his chronic condition for so many years, and it ignited a fire in her heart. Her speech had been unwittingly laced with a touch of aggression.

Ni Yun, seeing Dugu Qianye boldly admit it, suddenly smiled, scaring Hao Pengyou and Bei Tong half to death, while the red-dressed female lead felt secretly pleased. Because this was just how he looked whenever he was about to deal with someone!

But this time, although Ni Yun smiled, he didn’t get angry. He looked at Dugu Qianye and said, "You’re very daring."

"Many people have told me I’m bold," Dugu Qianye looked at Ni Yun.

"You’ve got spirit!" Ni Yun said with a derisive laugh.

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandmaster," Dugu Qianye smiled and accepted graciously.

The two exchanged words back and forth, causing the hearts of Hao Pengyou and Bei Tong to twitch. Hao Pengyou inwardly cursed himself for forgetting to tell Dugu Qianye about their grandmaster’s bad temper. It was all over now, all over...

"For that ’Grandmaster’ alone, I won’t punish you today. As you join Zhuji Gate, your grandmaster has a welcome gift for you." Ni Yun said, pulling out a thin booklet from his Space Ring.

"Ah?" Not only did Hao Pengyou and the others show surprise, but even Dugu Qianye was shocked at Ni Yun’s reaction. Seeing that he truly wasn’t angry with her, she bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster."

She walked up to Ni Yun and reached out to take the booklet. The moment her hand touched the booklet, a dazzling light flashed from Dugu Qianye’s body, startling everyone in the room, leaving them clueless as to what had just happened.

Ni Yun suddenly grasped Dugu Qianye’s hand, his expression mysteriously fixed on her...

Ni Yun’s action caused Hao Pengyou and Bei Tong to scream out loud.

"Grandmaster!"

"Master!"

Ni Yun stared straight at Dugu Qianye and said, "What is this about?"

Dugu Qianye had not expected that the white light La Yun had imbued her with would react at this moment. She remembered La Yun saying that the white light would respond upon encountering its master, but no matter how she looked at it, Ni Yun didn’t seem to fit the imposing description La Yun had given.
