When I returned to the mountainside, the meal was already being served at Jiuquan Mountain.
To entertain the distinguished guest, Tang Yu, Jiuquan Mountain made a rare effort today and prepared a lavish feast.
However, several male disciples didn't have much appetite; they all looked a bit downcast and sullen.
The female disciples, on the other hand, seemed in high spirits. After all, they all knew Tang Yu had become an honorary elder of Jiuquan Mountain. Who wouldn't welcome a handsome elder to their own mountain?
After finishing the meal, Nan Huaiyun personally escorted Tang Yu to a small courtyard on the mountain.
"Young Tang, from now on, whenever you visit Jiuquan Mountain, you can stay here. If you need anything, go to the house next door; several disciples live there."
"Alright, and where is Sister Nan Huaiyun's house? If she lives nearby, we could visit each other from time to time."
Tang Yu stood at the door, smiling warmly.
"Me? I live over there; you'd have to walk about 30 minutes to get there. It's better not to go through so much trouble."
Nan Huaiyun, as if she had anticipated Tang Yu's comment, smiled slightly, with a glimmer of amusement in her eyes.
She had deliberately placed herself farther away to avoid him seeking her out for mischief.
She had heard that her disciple had been walking with him today, and now he was still in his room without stepping out.
"…"
Tang Yu thought that trust among people had truly diminished. If he had known, he wouldn't have flirted so publicly with this shy sister.
"By the way, I just received a notification. Your two friends have ascended the mountain; I'll have some disciples bring them here shortly."
Nan Huaiyun smiled and waved before calmly walking away.
Tang Yu watched her slender figure as she walked under the moonlight, like a goddess descending to the mortal world.
"A true delight for the eyes."
Tang Yu praised. This kind of thing wasn't about being lustful; he simply enjoyed admiring beautiful things.
Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard the hurried footsteps of two people in the distance.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Junzhuo and Huang Xiaoyun approaching.
A disciple, panting along the way, led them, sweating profusely.
"Young Tang."
"Master!"
Upon seeing Tang Yu, the two quickly ran to greet him.
"Thank you for your efforts."
Tang Yu smiled and shook Lu Junzhuo's hand.
At the same time, he made small, imperceptible movements, like using the [Phantom Energy Whip] to attack Huang Xiaoyun, for instance.
Huang Xiaoyun trembled slightly and gave Tang Yu a seductive glance.
Lu Junzhuo didn't notice Tang Yu's subtle actions and, somewhat embarrassed, shook his hand.
"I deeply apologize, Young Tang. I've been busy training in seclusion and haven't been able to locate Ye Qiu."
"It's alright; it seems your training has gone well. Let's talk inside."
Tang Yu observed Lu Junzhuo for a moment. This man had already reached the mid-stage of the [Heaven] level.
No wonder he was the protagonist holding the main storyline; his rate of progress was like having a springboard to level up.
Once inside the house, Lu Junzhuo asked, "Young Tang, did you summon us for some significant matter?"
"Yes, soon I'll be capturing all the pieces of the Ye family in Yanjing at once. I'll need your help."
Tang Yu nodded.
"Anything you require."
Lu Junzhuo smiled broadly, with a gleam of murderous intent in his eyes.
He only wished for more power to eradicate the Dragon Soul organization entirely.
"This is a gift for you. After taking it, you should be able to advance to the next level. Go quickly and absorb it; I'll keep watch over you."
Tang Yu took out a golden lotus seed he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Lu Junzhuo.
Lu Junzhuo was momentarily stunned as he caught it unconsciously, then smiled calmly without saying a word.
"By common sense, shouldn't you be saying some heartfelt words of gratitude right now?"
Tang Yu patted Lu Junzhuo on the shoulder and teased him.
"If I did, Young Tang, you'd surely say that brothers shouldn't be so formal, so I decided to skip it."
Lu Junzhuo shot Tang Yu a playful glance and said, "The night is long; I won't disturb your rest, Young Tang."
With that, he stood up and quickly left Tang Yu's room, lost in thought.
Such a precious treasure, Young Tang truly spared no effort.
If you treat me as a brother, I must repay you with my life.
Once Lu Junzhuo left, Huang Xiaoyun collapsed on the sofa, exhausted.
"Master, I can't take it anymore."
"Why can't you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Yu asked with a smile, pretending not to know about the [Phantom Energy Whip].
"Yes, I'm unwell… Master, can you check me and see what's wrong?"
Huang Xiaoyun had been thinking about Tang Yu so much that she was nearly going crazy.
However, there were many matters to handle within the Dark Night organization.
They say, "A short separation is better than a new marriage."
Tang Yu saw that her cultivation was at the peak of the [Earth] level and decided it was time for her to take the next step. So he quickly closed the door, turned off the lights, and began helping her practice for a major breakthrough.
Once she reached the [Heaven] level, he would give her the golden lotus seed to help her push into the mid-stage of the [Heaven] level.
Meanwhile, the three were busy in their respective rooms.
However, a figure slipped through the darkness, moving like a specter along the narrow mountain path.
Two disciples tasked with patrolling the mountain didn't even notice someone passing by.
The one ascending under the cover of darkness was none other than Ye Qiu, who had come with a specific purpose.
A few days ago, the Longhun organization had discovered the second part of the Yin-Yang True Dragon technique he was cultivating.
According to records, the second part was also connected to Jiuquan Mountain.
It was said to be hidden beneath the Nine Dragons Spring, so he hurriedly came.
This object was of utmost importance to him.
With just the first part, he had already achieved such a level of power.
If he could obtain the second part, his progress would be much faster, and his combat power would undoubtedly double!
With a cold expression, he ascended the mountain quickly.
Along the way, several groups of patrolling disciples and the traps they had set couldn't stop him.
When he approached the Nine Dragons Spring, the surroundings had transformed into a sea of snow.
The city of Yanjing was already windy, and with the snow and cold, even he felt a bit of the chill.
"The heights are truly uncomfortable."
He sighed and, using his excellent night vision, located the entrance to the Nine Dragons Spring.
Upon entering, the motion sensors in the Nine Dragons Spring lit up, startling Ye Qiu.
After confirming no one had entered for a long time, he cautiously proceeded.
Seeing the dry spring, Ye Qiu immediately knew this was the work of that elder.
He looked around to ensure the second part of the Yin Dragon Technique wasn't nearby, and his gaze finally landed on the bottom of the Nine Dragons Spring.
"It's probably hidden underneath."
Looking at the green stone slab covered in dust, Ye Qiu decided to jump in and, with his bare hands, lifted the stone slab weighing hundreds of kilos.
When he saw the characters engraved beneath the stone slab, his eyes gleamed with excitement, nearly shouting for joy.
