Because everything went smoothly on the road, Luan Qing Xiao and her party arrived at San Wen Mountain five days in advance.



The scenery of San Wen Mountain is very different from that of Shang Qing Palace. It experiences all the seasons. Currently, it is autumn. The flowers and plants on the mountain are orange or withered, while the spiritual tree occasionally bears spiritual fruit that people harvested from time to time.



The San Wen Mountain’s guide boy introduced, “We have a lot of spiritual trees on the mountain, which bear quite a harvest in autumn. All sect disciples can pick them at will. But those are all ordinary spiritual fruits. If Elder Luan wants to try some, I can help Elder Luan get them."



Luan Qing Xiao glanced at the few people behind her, "Do you guys want to taste them?" Foundation Building cultivators don't need to eat anymore, but there was no harm in consuming some spirit fruits.



Nie Zhen'er said, "I want to eat that red fruit."



Seeing that Luan Qing Xiao didn’t object to Nie Zhen'er's words, they all said the fruits they wanted to eat.



"I want that yellow one."



"I want to eat the green fruit."



"The purple looks pretty good."



It was the first time the guide boy met such a talkative elder and couldn't help but smile. "The green fruit still needs almost a month to mature. Right now, it tastes incomparably sour. This Senior Sister can try the pink fruit instead. The two taste similar."



After the boy finished talking, he brought them over to pick the fruits.



Things like picking fruits were much more interesting if they picked them themselves rather than waiting for others to pick them for them. Nie Zhen'er took the lead. Excluding Ying Yuan Yu and Luan Qing Xiao, everyone picked a few favorite spirit fruits and put them in their arms.



It made the guide boy laugh, "All you senior sisters are very lively. The elders and senior sisters of Xi Hua Pavilion I introduced yesterday behaved extremely stern."



Xi Hua Pavilion was the only one among the six sects that only accepted female disciples.



There was a sect called Lian Hua Pavilion in the Demonic path that also only recruits female disciples. However, they specialize in the art of replenishing yin through collecting yang, which the Righteous path thought of as disgraceful.



Interestingly enough, it was a pair of twin sisters who founded Xi Hua Pavilion and Lian Hua Pavilion. The elder sister was noble and clean like jade founded Xi Hua Pavilion, while the younger sister was hedonistic and wild founded the Lian Hua Pavilion. After the twin sisters fell victim to the Heavenly Thunder, the two sects remained hateful of each other. Their inner disciples always had friction when they met. From time to time, women from Xi Hua Pavilion would be lured into Lian Hua Pavilion.



After picking the fruits, the guide boy took them to a courtyard. There was a row of residences in the courtyard. "Elder Luan, these houses have been cleaned up for you, but I didn’t expect that there would be seven people in your party. We only have six rooms, you see ..."



Luan Qing Xiao said, "No problem, we’ll solve it ourselves. You can go."



"Thank you Elder Luan for your compassion." The boy leaned over and bowed, "Because of the Inter-Sect Grand Contest, San Wen Mountain is a little busy. If Elder Luan wants to go out for a stroll, you can call me through this jade piece. This Boy will immediately come over to lead the way."



Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "Thanks."



Once the guide boy left, Luan Qing Xiao announced to her group. "You all go choose a place."



Hui Meng Tong said, "Mistress, if you find it inconvenient to sleep with Senior Sister Zhen'er, you can have Senior Sister come to my place."



"No." Nie Zhen'er refuted Hui Meng Tong without waiting for Luan Qing Xiao to speak.



Hui Meng Tong was puzzled, causing Nie Zhen'er to continue. "I still have a lot of questions about cultivation. It would be more convenient for me to live together with Mistress."



"I see." Hui Meng Tong reluctantly accepted Nie Zhen'er's explanation.



Chao Gan Yun has already gotten used to Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er's extraordinary closeness. "Little Junior Sister, let's go and choose a room next to each other."



Zhang Ran and Guan Xue also went to choose a room after saluting Luan Qing Xiao, but Ying Yuan Yu didn't move.



"Does Yuan Yu still need something?" Luan Qing Xiao asked.



Ying Yuan Yu said, "I've been thinking about what I discussed that day with Qing Xiao... … Shi Bo was really too anxious. I hope Qing Xiao Shi Bo isn’t bothered by it."



Luan Qing Xiao said, "No harm done, as long as you figured it out."



Nie Zhen'er came over to ask, "What are Senior Brother Ying and Mistress talking about? What is Senior Brother Ying anxious about? Also, what is Mistress being bothered about?"



Could it be that Ying Yuan Yu was anxious in wooing Mistress, but Mistress was bothered by his young age?



Vigilance appeared in Nie Zhen'er's clear apricot eyes.



Ying Yuan Yu obviously couldn't say it, so he just glanced at Luan Qing Xiao. Luan Qing Xiao replied, "Go choose a room."



Nie Zhen'er stared at Ying Yuan Yu's back for a long time until Ying Yuan Yu entered a residence against the wall before taking back her gaze.



Feeling Mistress was about to be snatched away by Ying Yuan Yu, Nie Zhen’er pouted unhappily.



Luan Qing Xiao took her hand to assure her, "Throwing a childish tantrum. Next time you have a question, ask Mistress in private. Don't ask it in front of Senior Brother Ying."



"Why, Mistress?" Nie Zhen'er was dragged into the largest room in the middle by Luan Qing Xiao and the two sat on the ta. Luan Qing Xiao rubbed her hair as she put a soundproof barrier around them and whispered. "Ying Yuan Yu is not a good person, you have to be vigilant in front of him in the future. Whatever he does, do not be fooled by him."



Nie Zhen'er's eyes lit up, "Mistress doesn't like him?"



Luan Qing Xiao flexed her fingers and lightly flicked her, "You know best who Mistress likes, how can I like him?"



Nie Zhen'er blushed. However, she knew the liking that Mistress refers to must be an elder’s affection for their juniors. Sigh, when will Mistress understand her real thoughts?



After spending two days in the courtyard, Nie Zhen'er couldn't take it anymore.



Her senior and junior sisters have been busy cultivating and have no time to play with her, while she isn’t familiar with the other people. So she felt too embarrassed to disturb others.



Nie Zhen'er sat on the ta, looking at Luan Qing Xiao who was cultivating seriously. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Mistress, you don't have to participate in the competition. Why are you practicing as hard as Meng Tong and the others?"



Luan Qing Xiao slowly opened her eyes, and said helplessly, "Isn’t being a cultivator all about cultivating?" She was just afraid that Ying Yuan Yu would have another fortuitous encounter and she wouldn’t be able to take care of Nie Zhen'er when the time comes.



"Mistress, let’s go and take a look outside. I’m too bored just staying in the courtyard." Initially, there was Little Cutie to accompany her, but recently Little Cutie fell in love with cultivation. Mistress said Little Cutie didn’t want to come out, so she already hadn't seen Little Cutie for more than half a month now.



"Mistress will take you out for a tour."



After Luan Qing Xiao relented, Nie Zhen'er immediately smiled and hugged Luan Qing Xiao happily. "Mistress, you are so kind~"
