Zhou Yun felt that this time, the gazes on him seemed to be even more terrifying than usual.
He turned around to look. Other than Qiao’er, who was still obediently and adorably sticking to his side, there was also Su Lingyun, who looked extremely gentle.
Su Lingyun pinched the edge of her dress and walked to Zhou Yun’s side quietly.
It was only a few small movements, and she did not even hug him like Qiao’er did.
However, the way she stood quietly by his side was like a gentle wife quietly supporting him from behind, not to mention that Su Lingyun herself was not bad looking. She was 90% similar to Su Wanyi and currently seemed like a classic graceful and elegant woman.
With such a wife, what else could a husband ask for?
Zhou Yun finally understood why he was much more hated than usual by so many disciples.
It turned out that Su Lingyun was also fanning the flames.
“Detestable! You better remember this!” Zhou Yun turned his head and said to Su Lingyun fiercely. He held Qiao’er’s hand with one hand and grabbed Su Lingyun’s hand with the other.
“Hey, you wait …” Before Su Lingyun could finish her words, a huge force stopped her.
Zhou Yun stood on his spiritual sword and circulated his spiritual energy, doing his best to bring the two of them away from the furious disciples.
“Detestable! He can actually ride a flying sword!”
“Despicable scoundrel! If you have the ability, come down and have a one-on-one fight!”
“Yeah! We’ll fight you 1v1!”
“Running away is a cowardly move!”
Zhou Yun only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the angry roars of the disciples trailing far behind.
“Brother Zhou Yun, you’ve learned how to ride a flying sword. You’re so amazing!” Qiao’er hugged Zhou Yun’s arm and said happily, “I can only make the spiritual sword move a few meters, but you’ve already learned how to fly on a sword. As expected, Brother Zhou Yun is the best!” Qiao’er congratulated Zhou Yun from the bottom of her heart, as if she was even happier that Zhou Yun had learned how to ride a flying sword than if she had learned it herself!
“That’s right, Junior Brother Zhou Yun is truly formidable. From what I know, there really aren’t many who can learn how to fly at the elementary of foundation establishment stage,” Su Lingyun said in a soft voice. She slowly pulled out the spiritual sword from behind her, formed a seal, and gently stood on the spiritual sword.
Then, Su Lingyun gently nodded to Zhou Yun, and they let go of each other’s hands.
“However, it’s not elegant to carry a young lady like this. Junior Brother Zhou Yun, let me do it.” Su Lingyun made a hand gesture and pointed at Qiao’er. Qiao’er felt her body become lighter.
Then, Qiao’er slowly floated onto Su Lingyun’s flying sword, and the two of them flew together.
While they were flying, Su Lingyun would gently help Qiao’er break through the strong wind, unlike Zhou Yun who was directly blown by the strong wind.
Su Lingyun’s flying sword was extremely quiet, and no one could tell that they were flying in the sky.
“M-May I ask who you are?” Qiao’er asked. She felt that Su Lingyun was very gentle, and she looked just like Su Wanyi.
However, Qiao’er knew that even though Su Wanyi was at the later stage of foundation establishment stage and still wasn’t able to use the sword control technique smoothly.
“I’m Su Lingyun, Su Wanyi’s elder sister and also the direct disciple of the Spirit Valley’s sect leader.” Su Lingyun smiled gently. It was as if she was carved out of the same mold as Su Wanyi. She was gentle and pleasant, and even Qiao’er felt a little more intimate with her.
Zhou Yun was silent at the side. He didn’t know what could have made the person who drank, read comics, and ate peanuts act like such a gentle big sister.
However, Zhou Yun knew that he had to learn to shut up for the sake of his spiritual sword.
“Spirit Valley also has a space restriction. Let’s land in front of the sect leader’s hall. We can also apply for permission from the sect leader while we’re there,” Su Lingyun gently suggested.
“All right,” Zhou Yun said. He had no objections.
“Application? Sister Lingyun, are you guys going on a mission? You just came out of Brother Zhou Yun’s cave abode.” Qiao’er subconsciously clenched her hands. She felt that Su Lingyun was too gentle, and she was afraid that she would take her Brother Zhou Yun away.
“Qiao’er.” Zhou Yun suddenly spoke. He had discovered Qiao’er’s unnecessary misunderstanding. “We’re not what you think we are.”
Zhou Yun said from the bottom of his heart. He did not think that it was possible for him and a… monkey to get together.
Just as Zhou Yun was thinking about it, he noticed Su Lingyun’s gentle eyes. A trace of coldness flashed through her them.
“We’re only carrying out a mission,” Zhou Yun said seriously.
“Okay, Brother Zhou Yun!” Qiao’er nodded her head in relief. She could trust Zhou Yun unconditionally.
Finally, the three of them arrived in front of the sect leader’s hall.
Zhou Yun used his spiritual energy to touch his head, and his broom-head hair became smooth again.
“Then, we’ll go see the sect leader. Qiao’er, can you please wait here for a moment?” Su Lingyun said gently as she pointed at the resting area beside the sect leader’s hall.
Following Su Lingyun, Zhou Yun walked into the sect leader’s hall.
The moment he stepped into the sect leader’s hall, Zhou Yun noticed that Su Lingyun’s face was paralyzed, and her smile disappeared without a trace.
The gentle Su Lingyun just now seemed to be dead.
That was the first time Zhou Yun realized that people could really change so fast.
“Qiao’er, you should come in too.” Ling Qingyun’s voice suddenly rang out from within the sect leader’s hall.
Zhou Yun noticed that Su Lingyun’s face, which was originally sunken, quickly regained its color. She turned around and looked at Qiao’er. “Junior Sister Qiao’er, come in with us.”
Su Lingyun’s smile was very gentle, and Qiao’er ran over happily to Zhou Yun’s side.
“Ah…” Zhou Yun blinked his eyes. He seemed to have seen Su Lingyun’s smile cramp up. However, in the next moment, Su Lingyun’s face was covered with spiritual energy, and Zhou Yun could no longer see anything.
The three of them walked into the sect leader’s hall. Only then did Zhou Yun realize that there was another person besides Ling Qingyun.
Qiao’er was very familiar with Su Wanyi, who was the senior sister of everyone in the inner sect.
“Greetings, sect leader.” Zhou Yun gave a disciple’s bow.
“Hmm, it seems that you have completed your task well. Zhou Yun, you have worked hard,” sect leader Ling Qingyun said expressionlessly.
“Really, this task is too difficult. I didn’t let you down,” Zhou Yun said sincerely.
“Mm… Then, I’ll give you a little more reward.” Ling Qingyun’s face was still expressionless as she raised her hand.
Zhou Yun’s body trembled, and four tokens flew out.
Ling Qingyun caught the four tokens. With a slight movement, the four tokens suddenly grew in size.
“Lingyun, I received your message yesterday. Zhou Yun indeed needs a spiritual sword. You two are allowed to leave the valley.”
She continued, “However, on account of the Five Sects Tournament that’s coming up, I’ll let you three move together and cultivate the team’s chemistry. This spiritual meal can be considered as the mission reward this time.”
Ling Qingyun threw out the four tokens, and they accurately flew into the hands of the three people.
Zhou Yun took the token and found that it contained a large amount of spiritual energy. It was a spiritual energy storage device that could absorb spiritual energy from spiritual stones.
The more spiritual stones were stored, the higher the standard of the spiritual meal.
Zhou Yun didn’t know how many spiritual stones the token in his hand was worth, but he was definitely going to leave the valley this time.
“I don’t agree!” a voice suddenly rang out in the sect leader’s hall.
