Chapter 691 - 698: Meeting Feng Jiuxiao Again

Song Wanning felt completely helpless, but she had no choice but to agree.

And so, the three of them spent the next few days together.

With them as her guides, Song Wanning toured the entire Sect and successfully made her face known among the other disciples.

Now, everyone knew of her "glorious achievements."

This continued until one day, when Luo Xingyao received a Communication Talisman from Feng Jiuxiao.

Upon learning that his Master had returned ahead of schedule, Luo Xingyao couldn’t suppress a smile. He grabbed Song Wanning by the arm and rushed toward the Sect’s main gate.

Lan Yue’s expression changed. She immediately sent a Communication Talisman to Daoqing, her tone tinged with complaint as she asked why he hadn’t returned yet.

She was very fond of Song Wanning’s personality and dearly hoped she would join their lineage.

’As for those other junior brothers and sisters... she’d long since written them off as dead.’

Lan Yue followed them to the Sect gate. The three of them watched from a distance, and before long, they indeed spotted Feng Jiuxiao’s figure.

It had been a while, and Feng Jiuxiao seemed even more flamboyant and unrestrained than before.

She approached like a blazing sun, and everything around her seemed to dim in comparison.

Even Song Wanning was taken aback.

The Feng Jiuxiao before her now was a completely different person from the one she had met before.

It was a testament to how much her mastery of Arrays had progressed after the improvements she’d made.

"Song Wanning!!!"

Feng Jiuxiao’s laughter rang out from a distance.

Her laughter was uninhibited and brimming with affection. In a flash, she appeared right in front of Song Wanning.

"Master!"

Luo Xingyao hurriedly greeted his Master, but Feng Jiuxiao didn’t even spare him a glance. Her eyes were only for Song Wanning.

Her eyes shone, her expression a mixture of excitement and nostalgia as she stared intently at Song Wanning.

Ever since Song Wanning had passed her own legacy back to her, Feng Jiuxiao’s skill with Arrays had advanced by leaps and bounds after studying it, and her combat prowess had soared as a result.

Even within the Wuji Sect, she could now do as she pleased.

And it was all thanks to Song Wanning!

Because of this, she held a deep sense of gratitude toward Song Wanning in her heart.

Song Wanning laughed under the intensity of that fervent gaze.

"It’s been a while, Senior Feng!"

To be honest, she hadn’t actually interacted with Feng Jiuxiao all that much, but perhaps some people just have a natural chemistry.

She always felt like she had known Feng Jiuxiao for a long time, and their bond was closer than most.

It was as if their personalities were naturally in sync, a perfect match.

"It has been a long time!"

Feng Jiuxiao’s face broke into a wide smile. "I’ve missed you so much! You’ve finally ascended!"

"When I first heard the news, I thought I’d misheard. You, silly girl... how could you ascend and only contact Mo Yang Immortal Venerable, and not me?"

she said, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

When she first heard that Mo Yang Immortal Venerable had brought back a disciple, she was curious. But as soon as she heard the name, she was certain it had to be the Song Wanning she knew.

And it turned out she was right.

’It really is my Song Wanning!’

Hearing this, Song Wanning gave a helpless smile. "But I don’t have your Communication Talisman, Senior!"

Feng Jiuxiao knew that, of course, but she was still a little miffed.

She grabbed Song Wanning’s hand and started walking toward her own peak.

"Come on, tell me. How did you and Mo Yang Immortal Venerable meet?"

The two walked ahead, hand in hand and chatting affectionately.

Lan Yue and Luo Xingyao were left behind, exchanging helpless glances.

Luo Xingyao in particular felt this; his Master had completely forgotten about him. She hadn’t even given him a single glance this whole time.

’I’m falling out of favor!’

Luo Xingyao shook his head with a smile and hurried to catch up.

Lan Yue thought for a moment before also hurrying after them. ’My master will be back soon, too. I can’t let her become someone else’s disciple first.’

By the time they reached Sky Covering Peak, Feng Jiuxiao had heard the whole story.

"Tsk. No wonder Mo Yang Immortal Venerable was gone for so long after he went to suppress that thing. So that’s what happened!"

Feng Jiuxiao’s expression grew serious. ’The danger back then must have been far greater than what Song Wanning is letting on. Thankfully, the outcome was good!’

"You should have had Mo Yang Immortal Venerable tell me. With my help, the Array would have been finished much faster!"

She gently poked Song Wanning’s forehead, a little displeased with how distant she was being.

Song Wanning’s eyes crinkled with a smile as she went along with it. "There will be plenty of time to trouble you in the future. No need to be in a rush."

Her words made Feng Jiuxiao burst out laughing.

She loved Song Wanning’s direct and magnanimous nature; it was right up her alley.

Just then, Luo Xingyao spoke up from the side. "Master, you still haven’t discussed making her your disciple!!"

Seeing his Master was so happy she’d completely forgotten about it, he quickly reminded her.

But upon hearing this, Feng Jiuxiao just smiled faintly.

"I know you. You would never take another master, and I have no intention of being your master, either!"

Though they had only met a few times, she understood Song Wanning’s character perfectly.

Song Wanning was fiercely loyal and valued her relationships; she would never abandon her original master to study under someone else.

"I think we’d be better off as friends. As sisters, even. What do you think?"

She stared at Song Wanning with a grin, exuding an air of carefree confidence.

Song Wanning smiled and nodded. "That would be wonderful."

"What? Sisters?"

Luo Xingyao was dumbfounded.

’What happened to my new junior sister? How did she suddenly become my Junior Martial Aunt?!!!!’

’My little junior sister...’

"Well? Aren’t you going to come and greet your Junior Martial Aunt?"

Feng Jiuxiao shot him a look. ’This boy has no perception whatsoever. Aside from some talent with Arrays, he’s dreadfully dull.’

The corner of Luo Xingyao’s mouth twitched. He shot his Master a resentful glare before obediently calling out to Song Wanning, "Junior... Martial Aunt..."

"Oh, no, let’s not worry about titles. You can just call me Junior Sister!"

’As a newcomer, how could I possibly be worthy of such a title...’

"Nonsense. Now that you’re my sister, you are his Junior Martial Aunt."

Feng Jiuxiao cut Song Wanning off, then turned back to Luo Xingyao. "From now on, you will listen to your Junior Martial Aunt and protect her well. Understand?"

’With Song Wanning’s talent, her Cultivation is sure to advance quickly. But her talent with Arrays is rather average, so Luo Xingyao will still be useful to her.’

"This disciple understands!"

Luo Xingyao nodded gloomily.

’I thought I was getting such an outstanding and beautiful junior sister, but she ended up becoming my junior martial aunt instead.’

He was so frustrated he could have coughed up blood.

Lan Yue, who had been standing to the side, was also stunned by this turn of events. This was completely different from what she had imagined!

’I wonder what my master will do when he gets back? He wouldn’t also try to make Song Wanning his sister, would he?’

After they finished catching up, Feng Jiuxiao gave Song Wanning a Communication Talisman and a Passing Jade Token.

Sky Covering Peak was covered in Arrays, so no one could enter freely.

With the Passing Jade Token, Song Wanning could now come and go from Sky Covering Peak as she pleased.

"I’ll have Luo Xingyao build a house for you here later. You can come and stay whenever you like!"

Feng Jiuxiao had it all planned out. ’With that pest Mu Zixu around, Song Wanning is bound to run into some trouble in the Sect.’
