After briefly testing her spiritual power, Yun Jin was very satisfied.
From now on, she's also a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
She turned her head to look at Tianpo, "Senior Tianpo, we can leave seclusion now."
Tianpo subconsciously nodded.
"Leave seclusion? Oh, leave seclusion. Yes, it's time to leave seclusion."
He spoke in a daze.
Yun Jin looked at him somewhat suspiciously, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
"Me? I'm fine! I'm so well-traveled and knowledgeable, what could be wrong with me? Haha, hahaha." Tianpo laughed awkwardly without stopping.
Yun Jin tilted her head, "So?"
Tianpo said resolutely, "It's nothing. I just suddenly reminisced about my long-lost youth. Little Master, go ahead and leave seclusion."
As he spoke, he transformed into a sword mark and returned to Yun Jin's forehead.
Yun Jin always felt like something about Tianpo was a little strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it, directly activated the mechanism, and opened the door of the secret chamber.
After not seeing sunlight for several days, Yun Jin narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Senior, how many days was I in seclusion this time?" Yun Jin asked.
Tianpo's voice sounded muffled, "Exactly seven days."
Seven days…
Yun Jin nodded. It seemed she still had quite accurate control over time.
Then Eldest Senior Brother and the others should be arriving as well.
Or perhaps they had already arrived?
Just as Yun Jin was thinking this, a disciple of the Yu Family stepped forward, "Fairy Yun, the family head's several senior brothers and sisters arrived yesterday. The family head instructed that once the Fairy leaves seclusion, this disciple should guide the Fairy to the Eastern Courtyard to meet them."
They had already arrived?
Yun Jin's expression lit up with joy, "Quick, lead the way."
The Yu Family disciple hurriedly agreed.
Eastern Courtyard
Yue Zhao was patiently listening to Yu Songnian.
It really wasn't easy on Yu Songnian, he had said more words in one go than he normally would in his entire life.
Yue Zhao's expression was thoughtful, listening while simultaneously thinking through matters.
Si Wanning, on the other hand, looked completely bored. She didn't want to use her brain, having eldest senior brother around for this kind of thing was enough.
Gu Jinghong looked even more like he didn't care about anything at all.
He is master's servant, he only needs to obey master's instructions.
Everything else had nothing to do with him.
Just as Yue Zhao was about to ask more detailed questions, suddenly.
Yu Songnian revealed an expression of relief and quickly said, "Little Junior Sister has left seclusion! Eldest Senior Brother, if you still have questions, just ask Little Junior Sister."
As Yun Jin walked closer, she saw Yu Songnian looking at her with extraordinary enthusiasm.
Yun Jin was stunned.
She had only been in seclusion for seven days, did Third Senior Brother miss her that much?
"Little Junior Sister, come, sit here." Yu Songnian hurriedly pulled Yun Jin to sit down, then used his eyes to signal that Yue Zhao could start asking questions.
Yue Zhao carefully examined Yun Jin and said with some concern, "Xiao Jin, have you not been eating well recently? Is the Yu Family's food that bad? You look a bit thinner."
Yu Songnian glanced at Yun Jin and started questioning life.
Do cultivators even lose weight…
At their level, even if they didn't eat or drink, their physique wouldn't change at all, okay?
Si Wanning carefully sized up Yun Jin and also felt distressed, "You really are thinner."
Yu Songnian: "???"
He finally looked toward Gu Jinghong.
Gu Jinghong looked like an honest person, surely he wouldn't lie with a straight face!
Gu Jinghong didn't speak.
But he quietly gazed at Yun Jin, the look of distress on his face making it seem as if Little Junior Sister had suffered unimaginable hardship here.
Yu Songnian was completely confused.
Is his eyesight really that bad? Has Little Junior Sister truly lost weight?
"Eldest Senior Brother, don't you have anything else you want to ask?" Yu Songnian couldn't help asking.
Yue Zhao disapprovingly shook his head, "Little Junior Sister is already so tired. How could we still question her and needlessly consume her mental energy?"
Yu Songnian looked utterly bewildered.
Yun Jin had just broken through to Nascent Soul stage, her spiritual power was abundant, her energy overflowing.
Yun Jin coughed lightly and said somewhat embarrassed, "Actually, I'm not that tired."
"Little Junior Sister, no need to say more." Si Wanning held her hand and passed over a large bundle of dried meat. "This is dried meat made by Sister Mu. You should have finished the portion you brought when you set out, this will replenish you. You mustn't starve yourself."
Yun Jin hurriedly accepted it.
Although in truth she wasn't that greedy, and after learning alchemy she mostly relied on pills to increase her spiritual power.
But this dried meat was just too tasty. It's perfect as a snack.
Seeing Yun Jin accept it so eagerly, Si Wanning felt another surge of emotion.
Little Junior Sister had really suffered grievances!
Next time Little Junior Sister goes down the mountain, she absolutely couldn't let her go together with Yu Songnian.
Third Junior Brother was the type who couldn't squeeze out a word for half a day, he definitely hadn't taken good care of Little Junior Sister.
"Little Junior Sister, another batch of spiritual melon seeds from Heavenly Sword Peak has ripened. I specially packed them for you." Yue Zhao handed over a bag of melon seeds.
Yun Jin happily took them as well.
She poured a bag of melon seeds onto the table and warmly greeted everyone, "Come, come, let's chat while cracking seeds."
That is the right atmosphere!
Yue Zhao and the others smiled, and soon followed Yun Jin's lead, cracking melon seeds while chatting casually.
Yun Jin asked about the situation at Heavenly Sword Peak over this period. Hearing that Zhao Wuji had been unusually well-behaved recently, and that Ye Danxia and Yang Yun had been so overwhelmed by tedious work that they had no energy left to stir up trouble, Yun Jin instead raised her eyebrows.
Zhao Wuji is very cunning. Although the male and female leads didn't look particularly intelligent, they were favored by Qi Luck. Yang Yun's luck value was still as high as 85, even though it had dropped a bit, it's still far above ordinary people's, even higher than geniuses like Jin Yu.
To say that the three of them would all suddenly behave themselves and not cause any trouble at all, Yun Jin didn't believe it.
Now Heavenly Sword Peak only had Master and Ye Cheng left, both silly and innocent. Something really might go wrong.
"Junior Sister needn't worry too much," Yue Zhao saw through Yun Jin's thoughts and said. "These days, we've already drawn in the vast majority of the peak masters. Even if Master lacks consideration at times, the other peak masters will remain vigilant. Moreover, Master isn't as simple-minded as Junior Sister thinks. Sometimes, he does use his brain. If he truly encounters something difficult to resolve, he'll use the communication token to contact us."
Sometimes…
That qualifier was very telling.
Yun Jin thought it over and felt that in the short term, Tianxing Sect probably wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble. Still, on their end, they needed to act swiftly and decisively, they couldn't drag things out too long.
Thinking of this, Yun Jin asked, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, how are your current states?"
Yue Zhao replied, "At full strength."
Si Wanning nodded as well, "Little Junior Sister, you left us some pills before departing. We traveled using flying tools the whole way and didn't expend much mental energy. After arriving in Lin City yesterday, we rested for a night and have already adjusted ourselves to peak condition."
Yu Songnian also said, "With the pills given by Elder Mu, I've fully recovered as well. It's just that for a short time, I won't be able to use the power of the Royal Stone."
Gu Jinghong looked at Yun Jin expectantly, waiting for her to ask him.
Yun Jin glanced at him.
Gu Jinghong hurriedly said, "Master, I've also recovered to my best condition."
"Good." After seeing people like Duan Yiwei recently, Yun Jin now found Gu Jinghong much more pleasing to the eye. She even offered a rare bit of encouragement. "Even though you're just filling the numbers, you're still my servant. Once we enter the secret treasury, perform well and don't embarrass me."
Gu Jinghong was instantly so excited that his entire body trembled.
His master had actually encouraged him!
What did this mean?
It meant that his position in his master's heart was becoming more and more important!
Gu Jinghong secretly made up his mind. This time, when entering the secret realm, he would definitely perform well, further consolidating his position in his master's heart.
