Any interesting events in recent years? Tell me.” The Ghost Mastiff asked the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loquacious Yan Xiaohu instantly grew solemn and began recounting the disappearance of the Qingyu Immortal Sect after the Five Sects’ Artifact Exchange, the events at Qingniu Ridge, the Cangyan Dao Palace, Qingmu City, and even their own assassination attempt—mentioning Gao Xuan of Jin Yang Peak as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff’s expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never expected so much to have happened in this short time. I always knew the Cangyan Dao Palace had ulterior motives, but I didn’t think they’d expose themselves so soon—this is troublesome. Assassinations, huh? Interesting. If you strike, you must strike back. Perfect—I’m planning to leave soon anyway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the Ghost Mastiff’s face was filled with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, deeply worried, hurriedly said: “Senior Brother, don’t act rashly. They’ve already lost several Nascent Soul cultivators over this. Your immediate priority is to enter Soul Transformation first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu also quickly urged him to reconsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff picked up the wine jar and took several large gulps. “You two don’t need to get involved. Whoever harms my junior brother won’t walk away unscathed. My Master is my Master—I am myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged glances—they knew they couldn't persuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother always championed fearlessness and boldness. Perhaps this was the very realm he cultivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, once he made up his mind, few could sway him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a knock came at the door, and Lu Yaoyao walked in with a cheerful grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her was Shi Zhen, her face flushed with shyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Yaoyao bows before Ghost Senior Brother!” Lu Yaoyao bowed immediately upon entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff sized her up. “You’re unfamiliar. Are you the Sixth Disciple Master just took in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes! Today I’ve had the honor to witness Ghost Senior Brother’s divine prowess—I’m truly in awe.” Lu Yaoyao praised first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff burst into laughter. “Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. I’m hardly better than your Senior Brother. Shi Sister is here too? Please, sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately rose and invited the two girls to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen grew even more nervous, her face crimson, head bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu subtly glanced at Senior Brother—he remained calm, as if facing nothing more than two ordinary junior sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no—it’s clear Shi Zhen is hopelessly in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother seems utterly uninterested in romantic matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, let it be. With Senior Brother’s nature, having a crowd of admirers is only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in Master’s eyes, Senior Brother has always been the neighbor’s child—especially compared to us two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been a long time. Shi Sister’s cultivation seems close to Nascent Soul. Aim to break through soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shi Zhen still bowing her head, the Ghost Mastiff smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen nodded vigorously, whispering a faint “Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you two eat. I suspect Master has already returned to the mountain—I need to speak with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Ghost Mastiff stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu followed suit: “I should check whether I made a profit or took a loss this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing both senior brothers leaving, Zhou Qing didn’t want to stay alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just remembered—I forgot to feed the chickens this morning. Shi Sister, Lu Sister, you two eat first. If it’s not enough, help yourselves—the bill’s on my Third Senior Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the three left together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao opened her mouth, then quickly turned to Shi Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shi Sister, weren’t you the one who wanted to come see Ghost Senior Brother? Why didn’t you say a word?” Lu Yaoyao asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Shi Zhen dare raise her head, gazing at the door, biting her lip lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Shi Zhen’s nervousness, Lu Yaoyao sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d thought Shi Sister wanted to become an Imperial Consort—yet she’d fallen for Ghost Senior Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say a man chasing a woman faces a mountain; a woman chasing a man faces only a thin veil. Why not be bolder? Just confess your feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost Senior Brother is such an outstanding man—how tragic if you miss him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, as the three brothers returned to the foot of Xiao Ling Peak, they saw Mo Xingjian waiting with a broad smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like you’ll soon catch up to me!” Mo Xingjian examined the Ghost Mastiff with growing approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhou Qing—his wisdom during the Qingmu City mission had also impressed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for that third brother who loved hitting him on the neck—always obsessed with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought, the Ghost Mastiff said: “Master, I wish to travel outside and search for Second Sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian looked into the Ghost Mastiff’s determined eyes and seemed to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Senior Brother’s Soul Transformation is near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Second Girl has been missing so long—I’ve been worried. With you by her side, I can rest easier.” Mo Xingjian agreed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu instantly said: “Master, I want to go with Senior Brother too—get some inspiration, maybe even break into Nascent Soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be ridiculous. Stay home with Fourth Brother. You’re always causing trouble!” Mo Xingjian bluntly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu’s face fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re showing favoritism!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes? And?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother, the Ghost Mastiff, was also impulsive—he left quietly before nightfall, alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before leaving, he asked Mo Xingjian for a map of the Cangyan Dao Palace’s influence, especially the locations of resource veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He just left? Didn’t leave me any message?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Xuan Yuan Yichen arrived at Xiao Ling Peak, eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, being questioned, felt embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You traveled all this way, and he treated you like a quest—fought a quick battle, then vanished without even a farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s disrespecting the Seventh Imperial Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially beside him, the Ninth Princess glared at him, equally furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That… how could that be? My Senior Brother certainly left you a message,” Zhou Qing hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Yichen’s angry expression softened slightly. “What message?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately glanced at Yan Xiaohu beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu suddenly crouched down to polish his shoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s mind raced frantically. Under Xuan Yuan Yichen’s intense gaze, he had no choice but to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Senior Brother said he clearly understands that no two people’s paths are identical. He walks his own road—even if storms rage so fiercely they make his steps agonizing, even if thorns tear his flesh, he still smiles, cherishing every moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So my Senior Brother has entered the mundane realm—to experience his own realm, and thus take that final step.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Xuan Yuan Yichen paused, then fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he let out a bitter laugh. “He’s truly one step ahead of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said nothing more and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Muqian, deeply worried, rushed after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they’d been fooled, Zhou Qing let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu hurried over: “Did Senior Brother really say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think?” Zhou Qing snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing me forward at the last moment—typical of my good Senior Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing annoyed, Yan Xiaohu looked sheepish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing was just wrong—I need to make a good impression on the Ninth Princess now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just look at the situation: Senior Brother left, and Xuan Yuan Yichen was clearly angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ninth Princess? Even worse. If I spoke up, it’d only make things worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth Brother, you don’t want to watch your Third Senior Brother’s happiness die, do you? After all, once I’m successful, I’ll take you along for the ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yan Xiaohu suddenly sensed something, pulled out his token, and saw a message from Shi Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was asking if they were free today—she wanted to invite all three for a simple meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not at Yushantang, but at her own home—she’d cook personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the two of them were just accessories—Shi Zhen truly wanted to invite Senior Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no—how do we reply now? Fourth Brother, help me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, Zhou Qing vanished in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person takes one burden—fair enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Ghost Mastiff had left and found his own path, Xuan Yuan Yichen planned to depart—but his two protectors received news, their faces turning grave as they blocked the Seventh Imperial Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this sudden situation, Xuan Yuan Yichen seemed used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wondered which of his noble brothers had set this trap this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll stay a few days. I still have a duel with Li Daoxuan, and the top disciples of other peaks in Taiqingmen seem no weaklings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Yichen’s eyes blazed with unprecedented battle intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days, Taiqingmen had become far more lively than usual due to the visit of the Seventh Imperial Prince and the Ninth Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind that neither was married; just his habit of challenging the chief disciples of each peak every few days drew crowds of admirers cheering him on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Yan Xiao Hu was even busier—he brought vast quantities of spirit stones to place bets and set odds at nearly every challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since learning that Gui Ao had left, Shi Zhen hadn’t set foot off the mountain for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Lu Yaoyao and Xuan Yuan Muqian had become inseparable friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they interacted, the more they discovered they shared many interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yesterday, your Yushan Hall served a dish that looked delicious—shall we go try it later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, but it’s still early—why not take a stroll around Xiao Ling Peak first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, my brother has a match later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at all these portraits on this jade slip—they’re all sons of nobles and generals, constantly pestering me. I’m sick of it, which is why I came out with my brother this time. By the way, is there anyone you like? I can introduce you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They all look ugly. A husband must have depth—appearance is just skin-deep. The weather’s nice today—why not take a stroll around Xiao Ling Peak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, my brother has a match later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was that guy just now your Baizhan Peak’s chief senior brother? His battle with my brother the day before yesterday was incredible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean him? His cultivation’s solid, but his temper’s explosive—he even beats himself up when he’s angry. Let’s not go bother him. After we finish touring here, why not head to Xiao Ling Peak? Your brother isn’t fighting today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Shi Zhen hasn’t shown up for days. Yan Daoge says he’ll take us to Yuqing Peak later—I’ve prepared gifts for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Mirror Points +6】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, absorbing the Spirit-Nourishing Mushroom, sneezed several times in succession, then heard the system’s notification in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his nose, unsure who had just formed new thoughts about him, and chose to ignore it, returning to his seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Spirit-Nourishing Mushrooms greatly accelerated the transformation of his Spirit Core, and with the Spirit Hen’s egg and mid-grade spirit stones, his cultivation base surged rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His next plan was to secretly break through to the Golden Core realm as soon as possible, condense a Double-Yolk Golden Core, then enter the 【Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace】 for deeper simulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a feeling the Supreme Elder would soon send him into the Inner Realm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the battle between his senior brother and the Seventh Imperial Prince had stirred his blood and filled him with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having achieved Dao-based Foundation Establishment, he couldn’t possibly waste such a rare talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month later, the Ninth Princess Xuan Yuan Muqian’s orange hair began slowly regaining its color, turning black with streaks of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao also revealed her own hair, causing the young princess to squeal and jump with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like we’re truly fated to meet—why not return to the imperial capital with us? My mother would be overjoyed to learn I’ve made a friend like you!” Xuan Yuan Muqian said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao nodded eagerly, her eyes brimming with longing and curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Definitely, definitely—but may I bring someone with me?” Lu Yaoyao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Muqian was curious: “Who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll find out later—how about we go to Xiao Ling Peak today?” Lu Yaoyao suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Xuan Yuan Muqian couldn’t hold back and asked the question that had troubled her for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yaoyao, why do you keep wanting to take me to Xiao Ling Peak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao’s face flushed awkwardly. “Uh… you’ve met Zhou Qing of Xiao Ling Peak, right? He has a chicken—it’s adorable. Yes, that chicken—it’s hilarious. Not only are its eyes bulging, but it’s also not very bright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about such a strange chicken, Xuan Yuan Muqian’s curiosity flared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go now!” Xuan Yuan Muqian exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other finally agree to visit Xiao Ling Peak, Lu Yaoyao was delighted—but also uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, because of the Xuan You Immortal, Zhou Qing had been very displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even apologized once, vowing never again to play matchmaker or interfere in his personal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things, she just couldn’t control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Born with a mother, raised without one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was a child, the other kids would circle around her, chanting those six words over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each word stabbed her heart like a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her filthy father had long lost the light he should’ve had; whenever she asked him about it, he’d avoid the question—or vanish entirely for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, he left her with a hunter named Lu in the woods—and disappeared for three full years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for letting her live freely those three years—better than trudging through the wilds with me, always being hunted. From now on, your name is Lu Yaoyao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that she gained both surname and given name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, we’re just going to see that chicken!” Lu Yaoyao laughed soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two set off straight for Xiao Ling Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ling Peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhou Qing’s eyes were tightly shut, his expression grim, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His internal spiritual power surged uncontrollably; within his dantian, the black-and-white Spirit Core spun wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave, rushing through his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, since two days ago, after absorbing and refining the last Spirit-Nourishing Mushroom, he had sensed the Spirit Core beginning its transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overjoyed, he immediately sat cross-legged and began guiding it with the 【Taiqing Mystical Qi Scripture】—but he hadn’t expected this evolution to last so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, within his dantian, the black-and-white Spirit Core glowed brighter and brighter, like an endless black hole, devouring surrounding spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mid-grade spirit stones in Zhou Qing’s hands continuously crumbled into powder, instantly replaced by fresh ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual energy poured in, the Spirit Core slowly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contracted, becoming denser, like a star on the verge of birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing could feel a mighty force gestating within it, as if ready to erupt at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the transformation of the Spirit Core also brought unimaginable agony—especially the tearing sensation in his dantian, making his whole body tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the Spirit Core, having contracted to its extreme, suddenly erupted in a blinding flash of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing staggered, his spirit nearly destabilized; when he looked again, two Golden Cores—one black, one white—slowly took shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black core was profound; the white core, gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They echoed each other across space, as if embodying the ultimate truth of yin-yang balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Qing felt immense relief; the tension in his chest finally eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, golden light radiated from his entire body, a cultivation fluctuation hundreds of times stronger than before spreading outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, his black Golden Core spun rapidly and sank directly into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double-Yolk Golden Core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One black, one white!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One in the dantian, one hidden within the heart dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat power doubled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroy one, and given time, he could regenerate another—utterly unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if I’ll succeed in condensing the number-one Three-Flower Top-Cluster Nascent Soul when I break through to Nascent Soul—after all, the probability of yin-yang energy is only forty percent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked forward to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the mid-grade spirit stones on him—only forty remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy consumed forming the dual cores was immense, but worth every bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I enter the 【Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace】 again, I’ll only have ten left.” Zhou Qing sighed—his wealth was vanishing too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes he truly envied his third senior brother; at least the man could think up endless ways to make money with a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhou Qing stabilized his new state and once again used the 【Turtle Breathing Scripture】 to maintain his Foundation Establishment late-stage appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Four, Old Four—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhou Qing rose and happily picked up a spirit egg from the chicken coop, Yan Xiao Hu’s shouts rang from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Qing opened the door, Yan Xiao Hu rushed in excitedly, barging right inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the chicken? Where’s the chicken?” Yan Xiao Hu asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing quickly blocked him: “What’s wrong, Senior Brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu turned and peeked outside, then hurriedly shut the courtyard gate with a furtive motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess who I ran into just as I was about to leave the mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Yaoyao and the Ninth Princess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess what they were talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My chicken?” Zhou Qing’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu slapped his thigh. “Exactly—your chicken! They came here specifically to see your chicken!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there something special about this chicken of mine?” Zhou Qing asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao said, “Isn’t that special enough? Such a dumb chicken—sure to draw attention. Never mind that now, lend me your chicken for a bit, I’ll return it later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Yan Xiao hurried inside and soon came out carrying the old hen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good brother, once I win over the Ninth Princess, I’ll take you to the imperial capital to eat well and drink hard,” Yan Xiao said, clapping Zhou Qing on the shoulder with serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing merely smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s never going to happen—anyone with eyes can see the princess has no feeling for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their daily interactions are merely out of politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, you feel the same about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once you board the imperial family’s ship, getting off won’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Yan Xiao hurried out the door and began walking the chicken, pretending to chance upon her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lu Yaoyao and Xuan Yuan Muqian appeared, walking together; when they saw the peculiar old hen, Xuan Yuan Muqian’s curiosity was instantly sparked, and she rushed over for a closer look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan Shixiong, where’s Zhou Shixiong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yan Xiao walking the chicken, Lu Yaoyao asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao immediately adopted a solemn tone: “He’s busy. Lately, I’ve been walking his chicken for him—you know I’m a kind and helpful person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao let out a dry laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what’s he busy with? Is it convenient to disturb him now?” Lu Yaoyao asked after a moment’s thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao said, “Probably not. I’ve got inside info—Qingyu Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Xuan You Xianzi, is coming to Taiqingmen again in a few days. You were the one who arranged it, so Lao Si is pulling out all the stops to prepare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Ninth Princess, who had been playing with the chicken, looked up, utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way here, she had heard her brother describe the five major sects in this region—Qingyu Immortal Sect’s Sect Master was a Soul Transformation cultivator, at least an elderly woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Zhou is so young—how could he be interested in someone like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Ninth Princess’s shocked expression, Yan Xiao cleared his throat: “Xuan You Xianzi still has her charm, and at her age, she’s long past menopause. Do you know what that means?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” the Ninth Princess asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao said, “No menopause means no offspring—she’s useless for bearing children. Women like that have the most experience, and Lao Si won’t have to worry about responsibility...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yan Xiao could finish, Zhou Qing suddenly appeared behind him and clamped a hand over his mouth, face flushed with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s talking nonsense!” Zhou Qing chuckled awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhou Qing noticed that Lu Yaoyao’s head above [Good Eye] had somehow changed to [What a Shame].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he heard a reminder when absorbing the Lingyun Mushroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s there to be sorry about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Requesting Monthly Tickets\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3438,"2026-06-19T20:13:53.139Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","26351fb1d0a65df5f2d62919449b664b3643af128f1f097c974fb2c7924f4ac0","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-91","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-89",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
