Personal Disciple, Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness!

however.

When he pushed open the courtyard gate, he froze.

There was only one middle-aged man in the courtyard, dressed in tattered clothes, slumped on the ground, muttering to himself in a daze.

Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat, and an extremely ominous premonition surged up.

He rushed forward and grabbed the man by the collar.

"Where are they? Where is the girl who lives here?"

Lu Xingzhou was shaken back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Fan with extreme fear and awe still lingering in his eyes.

"They're gone...taken away by immortals..."

"What immortal? What does he look like? Where did he go?" Xiao Fan shouted urgently.

"I don't know... I can't see clearly... I only saw a five-colored divine light, which disappeared in a flash... That pressure was too terrifying..." Lu Xingzhou said incoherently.

Xiao Fan's hand loosened weakly, and Lu Xingzhou collapsed to the ground again.

Xiao Fan stood there blankly, staring at the empty courtyard, feeling the faint, yet incredibly oppressive, terrifying pressure lingering in the air.

That was... the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"I'm late..."

The voice of the Medicine Venerable echoed in Xiao Fan's mind, filled with a deep sigh and helplessness: "Fan'er, we are a step too late. A peerless expert discovered her talent a step ahead and took her away."

Judging from the remaining aura, this person was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and had mastered at least five laws!

Xiao Fan felt a sudden dizziness.

Again.

It's always like this.

The opportunity is right in front of you, but you always miss it by just a little bit.

If he hadn't had a few extra drinks at a restaurant on the way because he was feeling down.

If he could fly a little faster on his sword.

Perhaps, the outcome would be completely different.

"ah--"

Xiao Fan looked up at the sky and roared, his voice filled with endless frustration and anger.

"Who, who on earth is targeting me?"

He didn't know who had taken Lu Xueyao away, because when he arrived, Lu Yuan had already led his men across the void and left.

But he could feel that he had lost an extremely important person, someone who should have left a significant mark on his life.

That feeling of emptiness was a hundred times worse than losing the Fire Spirit Orb.

……

A streak of light pierced the void, and Lu Yuan returned to the Qingyun Sect with Lu Xueyao.

As soon as they landed, they saw that Gu Qingxue was already waiting there.

She seemed extremely sensitive to Lu Yuan's presence and immediately came to greet him.

"My husband, you're back."

Gu Qingxue called out softly, her gaze immediately falling on the poorly dressed, thin girl beside Lu Yuan.

"Who is this?" A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Her name is Lu Xueyao, and she is my newly accepted disciple in Liuyun City," Lu Yuan introduced simply, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity. "From this day forward, she will be my only personally taught disciple."

"Personal disciple".

Gu Qingxue was slightly startled.

She knew very well that her husband had extremely high standards; even the most talented disciples in the sect had never caught his eye.

But now he has brought back a mortal girl with no cultivation and has taken her in as his personal disciple.

She couldn't help but scrutinize Lu Xueyao more closely.

Although the girl's face was pale, her eyes were as cold as stars, revealing an unyielding pride.

In particular, the noble air about her that she couldn't hide even when she was in the dust made Gu Qingxue nod in approval.

This girl is truly extraordinary.

"Xueyao, haven't you greeted your master's wife yet?" Lu Yuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueyao, though somewhat reserved, still respectfully bowed to Gu Qingxue.

"Disciple Lu Xueyao greets Master's wife."

The word "Master's wife" filled Gu Qingxue with joy.

A gentle smile instantly appeared on her cool and aloof face. She stepped forward, took Lu Xueyao's hand, and liked her more and more as she looked at her.

"Good child, no need for such formalities." Gu Qingxue took out a crystal-clear jade pendant from her storage ring and placed it in Lu Xueyao's hand: "Since it's our first meeting, your master's wife hasn't prepared anything decent. This Qingxin Jade Pendant is a defensive magic treasure that can withstand a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator. Please accept it for self-defense."

"Thank you, Master's wife." Lu Xueyao was somewhat flattered and subconsciously looked at Lu Yuan.

Seeing Lu Yuan nod slightly, she accepted it.

"Qingxue, take her downstairs and settle her in. While you're at it, give her some basic guidance on cultivation." Lu Yuan immediately took a hands-off approach. "This girl's foundation has been destroyed, and her body is weak. Let her take some spiritual medicine to recuperate for a few days. When the time is right, I will rebuild her foundation."

"Alright, my husband, don't worry, leave it to me." Gu Qingxue readily agreed and left the cave with Lu Xueyao.

After the two left, the cave returned to tranquility.

A fragrant breeze wafted over.

Shen Miaoyin, dressed in an extremely daring black gauze dress, walked out of the side hall.

The sheer dress, as thin as a cicada's wing, clung tightly to her devilish figure, revealing glimpses of her alluring curves that were sure to make anyone's blood boil.

Large swathes of snow-white skin were exposed, and her slender, beautiful legs, concealed by black gauze, appeared even more alluring.

She was barefoot, with a string of silver bells tied around her ankles. With each step she took, a clear and melodious sound was produced, as if each bell struck the heart.

"Master, you're finally back."

Shen Miaoyin walked to the cloud bed behind Lu Yuan, stretched out her soft, boneless hand, and gently massaged Lu Yuan's shoulders.

Her voice was charming and alluring, with a hint of ingratiation.

"I have recently learned a new dance technique called the Heavenly Demon Dance. It is a secret art that has been lost to my Joyful Union Sect for a long time, and it is most effective in relaxing the mind and body. I wonder if Master would be interested in watching it?"

Lu Yuan leaned against the cloud bed, enjoying the service of the beauties, but his expression remained calm.

"Heavenly Demon Dance, you've certainly put in the effort."

He did not refuse, but simply asked, "Have you heard any news from the Joyful Union Sect recently?"

Shen Miaoyin paused slightly before resuming her movements.

She dared not conceal anything and said in a low voice, "Yes, Master, it is true. Sect Master... Su Yueli, her old injury has relapsed."

A secret letter arrived the day before yesterday, urging me to steal the Yi Mu Chang Qing Gong as soon as possible. In the letter, she said that if I don't obtain the technique within three months, she will personally intervene and force the Qingyun Sect to hand it over.

"Coercion." Lu Yuan sneered. "She certainly has a big mouth."

"Master, please calm down." Shen Miaoyin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in fear, "Sect Master was forced to do something. She is the most talented genius in the Hehuan Sect in ten thousand years, with the cultivation of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

However, she cultivates the Supreme Path of Forgetfulness, which, while offering rapid progress, has a fatal flaw.

"To forget love, one must first be moved by love. However, the sect leader has been pure and innocent since childhood and has never been moved by love. This has caused her Dao heart to always have a slight flaw, which has made it difficult for her to enter the Void Refinement Realm. Now that her old injury has recurred, her state of mind is even more unstable."

"Therefore, she urgently needs a top-tier wood-based cultivation technique like the 'Evergreen Wood Technique' to suppress her injuries and stabilize her Dao heart."
