Although her master treated Zhu Yao very well, sometimes, he was an extremely stubborn person. Once he decided on something, he would not easily change his mind. Just like five years ago, when he said that she was not allowed to leave the mountain, she really locked herself in this mountain for five years. No matter how she acted cute, threw a tantrum, or tried to reason with him, he did not change his mind. She did not know what he did, but in these five years, the number of disciples that came to this Jade Forest Mountain were few and far between. Even if there were urgent matters, they would send messages through paper cranes.
Even that little bastard, Wang Xuzhi, seemed to have forgotten about her, his only fellow villager. In these five years, other than the occasional little paper cranes that would fly in with a few words, he did not even come up the mountain to visit her. Little heartless bastard, the next time I see him, I will definitely give him a good spanking.
Zhu Yao sadly gazed at the moon and sighed. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of her breathing could be heard, and the few silly birds that were flying in the sky just to call her for food. One of them was especially fat, as though it was drunk from flying, and it seemed to have crashed into something in the sky.
Eeeeeeee! It's falling!
Zhu Yao suddenly stood up, pulled open the door, and ran towards the place where the red-crowned crane fell. That thing earlier, was a human figure, right!? The red-crowned crane crashed into a person! It had been a long time since Zhu Yao saw an outsider. As she sprinted, she wondered just which unlucky person would crash into a bird while flying on a flying sword.
After running all the way to the middle of the mountain, Zhu Yao finally saw the unlucky person who had fallen on the ground. Dressed in the sect's white uniform, he was dodging left and right while hugging his head. At the side, a human-sized red-crowned crane was currently raising its head, and pecking at that person's body.
"Aiyo, stop, stop, stop. Don't bite, don't bite. If you bite again, I will attack." The youth seemed to have twisted his leg, and was currently desperately protecting his head.
"Stupid bird, stop." The moment Zhu Yao called out, that extremely aggressive red-crowned crane, this horse, flapped its wings and flew towards Zhu Yao. With an arrogant cry, it then flapped its wings towards Zhu Yao. That look, was as though it was asking for credit, expressing that it had caught a spy.
Zhu Yao stroked the red-crowned crane's neck, comforted it for a moment, and then, looked towards the youth on the ground. The red-crowned crane was a first-ranked spiritual beast, and only possessed a little bit of intelligence. Any Essence-stage disciple could deal with it. Yet, he only dodged and did not attack. It could be seen that he did not have any ill intentions in coming to Jade Forest Mountain.
"Wife!" That person blurted out, and walked towards her with a joyous expression. This unique form of address, Zhu Yao instantly recognized who the person was. Who else could it be other than Wang Xuzhi?
Wang Xuzhi was overjoyed and wanted to pull her hand, but the red-crowned crane beside him cried out and blocked him again. Its long beak wanted to greet him again.
"Enough, stupid bird." Zhu Yao patted on the celestial crane. "He's an acquaintance. There's nothing for you to do here, go play." The celestial crane glanced at her, and then glanced at the youth. Only then did it flap its wings and fly away.
"Little wimp?" If he hadn't called her wife, Zhu Yao really wouldn't have believed that this handsome youth in front of her was that spoiled brat from back then.
Wang Xuzhi scratched his head in embarrassment and grumbled, "How many times have I told you? I have a name. It's Wang Xuzhi."
Zhu Yao laughed, and sized him up for a moment. "Yes, yes, yes. Little wimp has already grown up, and has already grown into a graceful youth." After not seeing him for five years, the child who only reached her chest in the past, was already a head taller than her. The round bun face back then, now looked as though it had been sharpened by a sword. The little shota back then, had already grown into a handsome man.
Wang Xuzhi blushed a little from her praises. Coughing, as though he had recalled something, he politely bowed to her. "Greetings to ancestral-grand master."
"Good boy!" Zhu Yao habitually reached out her hand to stroke his head, however, she realized that with his current height, this action was a little tiring, so she retracted her hand. "You little brat, I haven't seen your shadow for five years, why did you suddenly think of meeting me now?"
"I … I wanted to come over." Wang Xuzhi anxiously explained. "It's just that ancestral-grand master set up a formation in Jade Forest Mountain five years ago. Without his permission, no one can enter. I … I was just casually walking around this time, I never expected that I would actually enter. "
So there was a barrier. It was no wonder that the number of disciples in Jade Forest Mountain could be counted with one's fingers, and they were all sent by the Sect Master to look for her master. Her master was evidently confining her, right? Zhu Yao gritted her teeth, and felt that there was a need to find a certain master to talk about life.
"Ancestral-grand master … You, how have you been these few years?" Wang Xuzhi probed. In these few years, when he had nothing to do, he would fly around Jade Forest Mountain on his flying sword, to see if he could enter to see her. However, he had never succeeded before.
"It's best if you just call me big sis!" Zhu Yao pulled him to sit on a large rock at the side. Although I'm older than him, calling him ancestral-grand master and ancestral-grand master would always give off a feeling of youth that would never return. Back then, she was the one who brought him here to cultivate, so calling her big sis was not too much.
Wang Xuzhi smiled, and obediently called out. "Big sis Zhu Yao."
"Good boy!" Zhu Yao could not help but stroke his head, which was already in a mess from the pecking of the celestial crane, and tried her best to rub it even more. "Tell big sis, how's your cultivation? Have you been well? Did anyone bully you? Tell me who bullied you, I will help you take care of him. "
He shook his head, and obediently replied. "Master and senior-martial brothers are very good to me, and my cultivation has made some progress as well. Currently, I'm already an Essence Paragon."
"Not bad, brat!" Back then, she heard from his letter that he was only at the tenth level of Essence. In just a few months' time, he was already an Essence Paragon, and the next step would be Foundation.
Wang Xuzhi's face once again reddened, and he grew even more embarrassed. She never expected that in just five years' time, that unruly brat, who feared neither heaven nor earth, would actually become so bashful. Zhu Yao instantly felt that it was a miracle.
"When do you plan on building your Foundation?" Every single increase in realm was a huge risk, as one had to use the entire body's cultivation to charge forward. If one succeeded, they would ascend to the heavens in a single step. If one failed, their cultivation would fall back, but there was a possibility that their Spirit Veins would be damaged, and they would no longer be able to walk on the path of Deities. And, the higher one's cultivation, the harder it would be.
Wang Xuzhi's expression sank. "I plan on waiting for a few more years, and stabilize my realm."
Zhu Yao nodded. This was the right way. Comparatively speaking, the success rate from Essence to Foundation was very high, however, there were no lack of people who were unlucky. A good foundation was only half the battle. Suddenly, she recalled something, turned around, and asked. "Do you plan on consuming a Foundation Pellet?"
"Mn!" Wang Xuzhi nodded. "Master had already prepared a Foundation Pellet for me two years ago, but I want to use my own strength to fight for it. So, in the Inner Sect Tournament the day after tomorrow, I will be participating in the Essence group's competition. The prize for the top three will be a Foundation Pellet. "
Hearing this, Zhu Yao's brows furrowed deeply.
