Chapter 18

The Kind Palace Master!

Yun Meng'er ultimately chose Tianxuan Palace.

After making her decision, she bowed to Mu Wan and said, "Greetings, Palace Master!"

Mu Wan nodded, looking Yun Meng'er up and down, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "She is truly a rare beauty."

This little girl is actually older than me.

The key is that the proportions are just right.

Then, Mu Wan's expression became somewhat complicated, and she glanced at Qin Yi.

"This kid, as expected of my senior brother's son, is just like him, he has a lot of luck with women. I couldn't win over my senior brother back then, but now..." Mu Wan thought to herself.

Immediately afterward, she quickly controlled her thoughts and tried not to let them wander.

Some of these ideas are too dangerous!

You can't do it!

"You two, come with me." Mu Wan led Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er away.

The disciples of the Seven Palaces of Tianxing Martial Academy all live in one place, but the living conditions vary in quality.

Six people live together, and the situation is quite bad.

The best part is a small courtyard for one person.

Mu Wan used her privileges to arrange the best accommodations for Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er.

She had thought it through carefully; Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er's residences were separated by only one wall.

After settling Yun Meng'er in, Mu Wan entered the courtyard of Qin Yi's residence.

"If you two need to meet and communicate in the future, it will be more convenient if you live close by, but don't always climb over the wall, it's not a good influence. If necessary, we can knock down this wall and open a door," Mu Wan said to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi solemnly declared, "Palace Master, I'm here to cultivate, not to indulge in romantic entanglements!"

Seeing Qin Yi's embarrassed expression, Mu Wan couldn't help but laugh. She pinched Qin Yi's cheek with her fair fingers and said, "You look just like your father."

Mu Wan's smile was so captivating that it made her sway and tremble, exuding charm and allure.

Qin Yi couldn't help but steal a glance at her ample and full figure.

Although she was very careful, Mu Wan still noticed and felt a little smug. Although Yun Meng'er was older than her, there were many things that Yun Meng'er simply did not have at her age.

Qin Yi shifted his gaze, took a deep breath to suppress the thought, and then looked at Mu Wan again, his expression becoming much more serious. He solemnly asked, "Palace Master, you once told me that my father had visited Tianxuan Palace before he disappeared. Did he... leave any clues?"

Mentioning this, Mu Wan lost her desire to tease Qin Yi. She nodded and said, "When my senior brother came to Tianxuan Palace back then, he left something for you."

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know what it is either," Mu Wan shook her head.

"Where is it?" Qin Yi asked anxiously.

"Starry Cave," Mu Wan said, "but it's getting late now, I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Alright, thank you, Palace Master," Qin Yi said solemnly, bowing with his hands clasped in greeting.

Mu Wan instructed, "Tonight, take a good look at the newcomer handbook of Tianxing Martial Academy to understand the rules of living and cultivating at Tianxing Martial Academy."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement and said, "Understood."

Before leaving, Mu Wan once again let Qin Yi's face feel the warmth and softness of her embrace.

She pulled Qin Yi into her arms and said, "Although I don't know what exactly happened to your father, I promised him I would take care of you. For the past nine years, the Palace Master hasn't done a good job, and you've suffered a lot. But now that you're in Tianxuan Palace, the Palace Master will definitely protect you!"

A warm feeling welled up in Qin Yi's heart, and he nodded vigorously in Mu Wan's arms.

A moment later, Mu Wan left Qin Yi's residence.

Qin Yi immediately went inside, took out a copy of the Tianxing Martial Academy's newcomer handbook, and began to read it carefully.

The disciples of Tianxing Martial Academy live and cultivate in ways that are all related to the stars.

Food, drink, and other necessities can be redeemed using Star Points.

Cultivation resources can also be exchanged using Star Points.

Moreover, the use of Star Points is required to elevate one's status and position.

Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er have just joined Tianxing Martial Academy and are both one-star disciples.

If their accumulated Star Points reach 10,000, they can be promoted to two-star disciples.

After becoming a two-star disciple, you can become a three-star disciple once you accumulate 20,000 Star Points.

And so on.

An elevated status allows access to better cultivation resources.

There are two main ways to obtain Star Points: one is through the challenges set by the Tianxing Martial Academy for its disciples, and the other is by completing tasks.

Completing tasks is the main way to obtain Star Points.

Every new member who joins Tianxing Martial Academy must complete a new member trial mission after one month.

The newbie trial missions are not very difficult, but the number of Star Points rewarded is quite considerable, which can be considered a benefit for newbies.

Qin Yi carefully flipped through the newcomer's handbook and soon came across information about the Starry Cave.

Starry Cave is a place in Tianxing Martial Academy specifically used to comprehend the essence of martial arts.

Disciples of any star level can enter.

However, each time you enter the Starry Cave, you need to pay Star Points.

A thousand stars mark a day.

"What exactly did Father leave me in the Starry Cave?" Qin Yi murmured.

The neighbor's yard.

Yun Meng'er was in her room, sitting on the bed, holding the newcomer's handbook in her hands, but her mind was in turmoil.

"I didn't go to Tian Shu Palace to find my senior brother as Master instructed... If Master finds out, he will be very angry."

"My senior brother will be very angry too..."

"Why...why did they lie to me...If those things hadn't happened during the Seven Star Secret Realm assessment, and I had gone to the Heavenly Pivot Palace, would my senior brother have disregarded my wishes and directly taken my primordial yin?"

"Brother Qin sent me to Tianxuan Palace... Could it be that he's also after my Heavenly Talisman Spirit Body?"

"No...it shouldn't be...The way Brother Qin looks at me is completely different from how Master and my senior brothers look at me..."

…………

late at night.

Qin Yi put away the newcomer's handbook.

"Kid, wanna climb over the wall?" Master Ding's voice rang out, "I don't believe you don't have the slightest desire for more!"

Qin Yi said calmly, "Master Ding, I can even control the murderous desires of demonic arts, so how could I be controlled by that thing? I'm so tired, I need to rest."

I'm really tired.

For the past nine years, he has spent every day in pain and resentment.

After escaping their predicament, they dared not rest and rushed to Tianxing City to participate in the assessment, where they went on a killing spree within the Seven Star Secret Realm...

Now that he's finally in a safe environment and his worries have eased somewhat, all he wants to do now is rest.

He is lying on the bed.

In just a few breaths, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early morning.

Mu Wan arrived at Qin Yi's room silently.

Looking at Qin Yi, who was fast asleep and had not yet woken up, Mu Wan's expression became dazed, as if she saw the senior brother she had longed for day and night.

"who!"

Qin Yi, who was fast asleep, was suddenly awakened. He opened his eyes abruptly, and with a whoosh, the long sword beside him was drawn and slashed out.

"Ding!"

Mu Wan pinched Qin Yi's sword blade between her two fingers.

"it's me."

Upon recognizing the person, Qin Yi hurriedly sheathed his sword, got off the bed, and said, "Palace Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I drew my sword against you just now, I..."

"Silly child, how could the Palace Master hold such a small matter against you?" Her tone revealed a hint of heartache.

Mu Wan realized that Qin Yi's actions just now were due to his extreme lack of security, which was a psychological shadow left over from the past years.

She pulled Qin Yi into her arms again, holding his head tightly.

A moment later, Mu Wan felt Qin Yi's blood surging and his whole body getting a little hot, so she quickly let go of his hand.

Seeing Qin Yi's flushed face, Mu Wan smiled and said, "I can't hug you like that anymore. You're not a little kid anymore."

"You tidy up first, I'll wait for you in the yard."

Mu Wan left the room, and Qin Yi hurriedly closed the door.

Ding Ye's teasing voice rang out: "Kid, getting this one will be much more satisfying than getting Yun Meng'er. Trust me, you won't regret it!"

"Master Ding, don't talk nonsense."

A moment later, Qin Yi put on the light blue disciple robe of Tianxing Martial Academy and walked out of the room.

Mu Wan, who was in the courtyard, suddenly brightened up and said, "Senior Brother was once hailed as the most handsome man in Tianxing Martial Academy, but compared to you, he is inferior in both appearance and temperament."

"You little rascal, you'll be the one to charm countless girls in the future."

Qin Yi felt a little awkward and said, "Palace Master, let's go to the Starry Sky Cave."

Mu Wan nodded, and then led Qin Yi there.

On the way, Qin Yi was filled with turbulent emotions and found it difficult to calm down.

Over the years, what he wanted most was to escape, take revenge, and find out the truth about his parents' disappearance.

Now, finally, a clue about his parents' disappearance has appeared before him!
