Chapter 157 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 6

As Zong Yunze said, this little secret realm was indeed very safe for him. He could basically take whatever he wanted, and nothing could stop him.

Fortunately, Zong Yunze was not greedy and knew to leave some opportunities for future generations. He generally wouldn't touch things he didn't need, showing the demeanor and magnanimity of a leader of the righteous path.

Of course, it's also possible that they just don't like it?

Otherwise, he would have swept everything in the secret realm clean.

Yun Qing sat on his shoulders, looking around. When they passed a spirit tree, she stared at the bright red fruit on it, unable to tear her eyes away. Even after they had passed by, she kept turning her head to look at it.

The system sighed, "Host, calm down a bit."

Yun Qing then withdrew her gaze, took out a crumb of pill to satisfy her craving, and with a serious expression on her chubby little face, said: "I just revived, everything is pleasing to the eye, what's wrong with taking a second look?"

System: ...You only dare to say this so confidently because you haven't drooled yet.

Zong Yunze suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Junior Sister."

Yun Qing immediately sat up straight, "Senior Brother?"

"Want to eat?"

Yun Qing shook her head expressionlessly, saying in a nonchalant tone, "It's just a sweet fruit."

Sweet Fruit – just from that perfunctory name, you can tell it's not a very good product.

Its only advantage is that it's very sweet and tastes good, but it doesn't have much value for cultivators.

Moreover, the fruit is very small, only the size of a mung bean, and it doesn't grow in clusters, but rather sparsely on the tree. To make matters worse, the tree has a lot of leaves, which are very lush, and most of the fruit is hidden among the leaves, making it difficult to pick.

If you're not a foodie, you really wouldn't want to pick them even if you saw them.

But for the little foodies hidden beneath its cool exterior, it's so delicious!

So what if she's only the size of a mung bean? A mung bean size is perfect for her!

Zong Yunze didn't say anything more. Just when Yun Qing was heartbroken and thought she was going to miss out on Guoguo, he suddenly turned around, walked to the tree, picked a fruit, and handed it to her, saying, "Try it."

Yun Qing: !!!

He's the one who made me try this! I have to give him face.

She took the fruit with a straight face and tasted it. Mmm...it was really delicious!

These sweet fruits can only grow in places with abundant spiritual energy. However, once the fruits grow, they don't have any special effects. It's estimated that the spiritual energy they absorb is used to improve their taste.

As she was thinking, she saw a series of small paper figures, about the same size as her, scrambling up the tree trunk like ants, almost disappearing into afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, the little paper figures, clutching the fruit, climbed down one after another.

The little paper figures went back and forth, and in no time, all the fruit on the tree was picked.

Yun Qing blinked as she looked at the large pile of red berries, then turned to look at Zong Yunze.

But then Zong Yunze waved his hand, and the huge fruit tree was uprooted.

Yun Qing: !!!

"Senior brother?" Why are you even targeting trees?

Zong Yunze explained, "You can keep the fruit and eat it slowly. We can take the fruit tree back and plant it later."

Yun Qing paused for a moment, then said, "System, he really does have grand ambitions, doesn't he?"

Before the system could speak, she appeared aloof but was actually excitedly grabbing Zong Yunze's robe and climbing down to collect the fruit!

Zong Yunze quickly reached out and caught her, then put her on the ground.

Yun Qing tried to slow her pace as much as possible, so as not to appear too hasty.

She gazed at the mountain of bright red fruit before her, trying to straighten the corners of her mouth that seemed to be turning up, her chubby face remaining expressionless as she casually gathered up all the fruit.

Then Zong Yunze grabbed her waist with two fingers, lifted her up, and put her back on his shoulder.

Yun Qing was secretly pleased. After thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't keep it all to herself and had to thank Zong Yunze for his generosity.

So she stood on his shoulder, took out a fruit and handed it to him, saying, "Senior brother, have a taste."

Zong Yunze turned to look at the fruit in her hand.

Yun Qing's gaze fell on his mouth, which, though very handsome, seemed capable of swallowing her whole. She warned him with a hint of worry, "Be careful, don't bite my hand off."

"Ah."

Yun Qing felt that his "hmm" carried a hint of a smile, but when she looked closely at his face, it remained aloof and expressionless.

In the end, Zong Yunze took it with his hand. The bright red fruit in his palm made his slender, fair hand look even more lustrous and jade-like.

It's really beautiful, but unfortunately it's too big. If that hand were to come down on your head, you'd feel like you couldn't escape its grasp.

Liuyun Immortal Sect, Luoxue Peak.

Xiao He was somewhat surprised by the sudden arrival of Qi Yu, the sect leader, since his master should have informed the sect leader before leaving the sect.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle."

Qi Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.

Xiao He invited the man into the house and had some spiritual tea served before respectfully inquiring, "Uncle-Master, has come to Falling Snow Peak on some important matter?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask why your master left again so soon after returning. I was too busy before and didn't have time to ask clearly. Did he say what he was going out to do? When will he be back?"

Xiao He shook his head. "Master only informed me through telepathy and then left without explaining why."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Why is Senior Brother becoming more and more withdrawn? Master was worried that Senior Brother was too lonely and repeatedly told me to keep an eye on him. How am I supposed to explain this to Master?"

"Sigh... If only Senior Sister hadn't had that accident. With her around, Senior Brother wouldn't be all alone like this now."

Qi Yu muttered to himself for a while, then asked, "Where's your junior sister? As her uncle, I should give her a gift when we meet."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but say, "Master has not formally accepted any disciples."

Qi Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right. Your master prefers peace and quiet and doesn't like to take on disciples. It's only because you and Wen Li are exceptionally talented that he has developed a bit of appreciation for talent. As for Lin Yao'er, right? Her talent is indeed just average."

"I didn't think things through at the time. I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to let my senior brother take on another disciple."

"I originally thought he would stay at Snowfall Peak for a while after returning this time, hoping to take on more disciples and make Snowfall Peak more lively. Who knew he would turn around and leave again..."

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, looked at Xiao He, and asked, "Was it because I bothered him by asking him to take on a disciple that he left? Is that Lin Yao'er very noisy?"

Xiao He shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be because of taking on disciples."

"After Master brought the person back, he went to see Uncle Chu. After that, he stayed in the forbidden area. After coming out, he left the sect directly."

Qi Yu frowned, a sense of worry creeping into his heart. Could something have happened to his senior sister?

Unfortunately, even he, the sect leader, was forbidden from entering that forbidden area. He couldn't even get close with his divine sense, so he had no idea what was going on inside.

If something else happens to my senior sister, she'll likely be annihilated.

How will my senior brother accept such a cruel reality then?

Sect Master Qi, who was always so busy that he had even neglected his cultivation, couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Why are my senior brothers and sisters so unlucky?"

Qi Yu sat for a while, then got up and left, without mentioning the gift again.

After seeing the person off, Xiao He turned around, his face turning cold, and said sternly, "Come out!"

After waiting for a while, Lin Yao'er slowly walked out from the corner.

Xiao He stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Don't you know what etiquette is?"

“Your uncle and master have a close relationship, and we don’t stand on ceremony in our Snowfall Peak, but don’t you even have basic respect?”

"Eavesdropping? You think your martial uncle wouldn't notice with his cultivation level? He's only letting it go out of respect for our master!"
